We were all dancing together for a while.  I found the Slovak guy (Jed) very attractive and didn’t say no when he started to kiss me.  The girl (lets call her Julia) kept looking over at us.  Jed led me over to a sofa at the side of the dancefloor and we started kissing properly.  It was nice, his mouth was very soft and warm.  I was happy to be in Prague that night and happy to be in the club.  After a while Julia came over and grabbed my hand and pulled me back over to the dancefloor.  We all went upstairs to where the cheesy pop music was playing.  We were dancing to I’ve had the time of my life and suddenly I was kissing Julia.  It came out of nowhere and i’m not sure how it happened but it was the most amazing feeling ever and I never wanted it to stop.  We carried on dancing and kissing for hours.  We shared cigarettes and she sexily blew the smoke into my mouth.  The two boys were having a great time dancing with us and trying to join in with kissing us.  Other people in the club came over, more Italian boys but we made them go away.  That night we only wanted each other.

Eventually it was time to leave.  I didn’t want to go and neither did she.  We ventured out into the cold and walked around all the little streets by the river just talking about anything we could think of, trying to put off going back to our respective hostels.  I would have given anything to have been staying in a hotel with my own room that night. 

We arranged to meet the next day at 2:30 outside the club.  She had to go on an excursion with her school in the morning.  I knew I was going to have to let her go for the night as she had to leave at 8 and probably needed to sleep for half an hour.  We made our way into the metro station and waited for the first train of the morning.  A strange guy came over to us and started speaking to us very quickly in czech.  We didn’t understand a word he said.  Julia was Italian and I am English so no chance at all.  We spoke to him in English and told him we didn’t understand.  He started to be nasty and demanded that we speak to him in czech.  Luckily the train arrived and we got on quickly holding hands.  The carriage was empty and we stood close to each other with our bodies bumping together with the movement of the train. All to soon we got to Florenc and it was time to go.  We parted at the metro station our bodies pressed as tightly together as possible giving each other long lingering kisses.  Eventually we had to let go, full of promises for tomorrow.

I wandered around for a while by the bus station, slowly smoking a cigarette.  I wanted to put off going back to the hostel and was savouring my meeting with Julia.  When I got back it was around 6:30 in the morning and I was so tired but couldn’t sleep as I was too excited.  Eventually I must have passed out from exhaustion.

 She was standing by the dance floor drinking a bottle of coke and smoking a cigarette. Every now and again her eyes would sweep over the crowd of heaving bodies. I watched her for a while. Her eyes showing flickers of recognition, an ear, a certain hair style, a waving arm. Fading back into obscurity as her friends failed to materialise.

I stepped down from the balcony and said hi to the girl. I asked her if she had a lighter. She took out one of her cigarettes and lit it and handed it to me. Her hand brushed mine and the connection was formed. We stood by the dance floor talking. She was on a school trip to Prague but it could have been any club in any city. The scars on her wrists told me she was trying to escape. Her body moved in jerky movements. Later I would find out she had an accident with a boy and broke her neck. She was in love with all the boys that night but didn’t want to fuck them.  I was not the only one watching her that night. Two guys were standing by the bar, they had a video camera.

We talked for an hour or so not running out of anything to say. One of the boys with the camera came over and tried to film us talking. She ever so politely told him to fuck off. It was my first glimpse of her temper and I wanted to see more. I went to the bar to buy her a drink. Vodka and coke. Short sharp shocks of vodka watered down with about a centimetre of coke. The camera guys were still watching. We let them buy us drinks and adjourned to the dance floor. One of the guys was English the other Slovak with beautiful eyes and long dark curly hair. Strange looking but attractive in a weird way.
