Teri approached me and tried to kiss me. I tried very hard to push her away and was struggling. Suddenly Teri got off me then I saw her on her back with a very angry Sophie stood over her, shouting and pointing in her face. I looked up and saw Sally stood alone on the dance floor, she seemed pretty angry she had failed to get Sophie. This made me very happy and proud of Sophie. But Teri seemed a bit pissed off and I needed to help Sophie. So I got up and took Sophie’s hand and dragged her onto the dance floor. I nudged sally with my shoulder as I walked passed her.
“Oh I am sorry Sally. But it seems Teri needs your help again.” But before she stormed off, I got my own two cents in with the conniving couple. “And Sally, if you ever go near or touch my Sophie again like that, you had better think twice, because I will fuck you up you bitch.” She yanked her arm away and walked away. She helped Teri, before they both left together.
“Friends off yours?” Sophie asked as we dance and held each other close.
“Not really, though I have slept with them both. Sally, the one you danced with was trying to get you away from me, while Teri tried to get what she wanted.”
“Well you did seem to be struggling; I hope you are ok that I came to help.”
“I was, I really did appreciate your help. It felt nice to have someone care about me enough to do that for me.”
“I do care Amy; it pissed me off a bit to see her force herself on you.”
“Pissed off, I thought you looked ready to rip her throat out.”
“I almost did, but tonight is our special night.”
“How special?”
“Special enough to not let Sally get what she practically begged me for.”
“Weren’t you interested at all?”
“No way, I know what I like, and it is not the predatory type. I am like you; I just want someone nice, up for fun, without it being another notch on the bedpost.”
“Thank you for coming to my rescue Sophie.” She smiled and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. We spent the rest of the night drinking and dancing without any further incidents. The more I danced with Sophie and the more we drank, the closer we got. She was a good dancer, and seemed a different person to what she was before she went to Europe. When she almost hit Teri, I saw a different side to Sophie. Not scary, just more outspoken and unafraid. She was quite shy before and when we went out she stuck to me like glue, not allowing anybody to get close. To be honest I would not have let anybody get near her anyway.
When she left, she was a like a baby bird. She needed to spread her wings and finally leave the nest to explore life. I felt the experience she would have in Europe would allow her to finally find the courage to survive and become an adult. It would surely prepare her for University life, and allow her to be more headstrong and confident. When she returned I immediately noticed a difference, she had returned a fully confident, caring, beautiful woman. I was happy that she had returned home safely, but ecstatic she had truly gained the wisdom and experience she got from travelling alone and without her parents for guidance. She was truly ready for life and what lie ahead.
