Excerpt
“Selective/Memory” by DD Lorenzo
They approached the party, and Aimee’s relaxed familiarity with most of the people in attendance put both girls at ease. She had introduced them to everyone, and before long, after a few drinks, conversations were flowing quite comfortably. Two handsome men were flirting with Paige and Aria, and when Aria saw Blake approach Paige, she thought nothing of it, as his presence was warranted by his position as a representative of Bella Matrix.
Everyone appeared to be enjoying the luau. The food was expertly prepared and more than delicious. The planners had orchestrated the seating so that the landscape was their backdrop. It was more than indescribably beautiful, and the effects of the alcohol only enhanced the beauty surrounding them, in Aria’s eyes.
As the mingling continued through hors d’oeuvres and dinner, traditional Hawaiian music meandered through the air, enhancing and continuing to embrace them in the Hawaiian island vibe. Guests of the party made their way to the tables for seating, where all remnants of their meal had been cleared away. Tiki torches lit a walkway and floral covered stage while steel drum and ukulele music tinkered from that direction in an inviting tune. The attendants were about to be treated to a floorshow filled with traditional music, song, and Hawaiian dance.
Aria, Paige, and Aimee were joined by Blake and the owner of the swimwear company, Michael Stang, at their table. They were front and center for the show, enjoying the finest view and service as everyone knew who Michael and Blake were.
The music mesmerized them as the songs set a carefree and enchanted mood. As they watched the skits and musical numbers, the part of the show that completely fascinated Aria was the strikingly beautiful island women and the various forms of hula dance. Graceful and elegant, their hands swept back and forth, mimicked the ocean waves as their pelvis and hips rocked seductively in time with the music.
Unexpectedly, the dancers pulled a few of the guests onstage, and Aria was one of the selected. Once in front of the crowd, the chosen were invited to join the performers in a dance. The women stood near Aria and showed her the gentle arm and hand gestures, which she mimicked quite well. They then instructed her in the tempting hip movements. She was a very quick study, and within a few moments, she was dancing on the stage with one of the male performers, a very handsome and muscularly built, native Hawaiian gentleman.
To the delight of the crowd who cheered and applauded for them both, they motivated each other with the sensuous movements of the dance. Aria smiled and laughed in appreciation, and the good looking man seduced her with the movements of his body, making her feel beautiful and sexy. She was enjoying herself, and she looked out into the crowd for her friends, who were enthusiastically cheering her on at the table.
Attempting to regain her focus and return her attention to the dance, she glanced through the crowd. Pausing, for just one moment, she saw a man who looked a bit like Carter Sinclair turning toward the bar. Trying to focus for a better view—she suddenly locked eyes with heat and fire.
