And that was only at the first party! It got a lot wilder after that.

The first party was at a regular club in the heart of the city. As a regular guest, I was ushered into the VIP section. Ettana got bored and suggested an underground rave on the other side of town in a disused temple.

The police tended not to enforce the law so strictly over there. We were out in the middle of nowhere and no one could be affected by the music, so what harm were we doing?

Enough to call the police, apparently.

Once the rave was shut down, we moved the party over into my apartment. I don’t know what time I went to sleep but I remember having drunken sex with Ettana… Vaguely.

The perfect end to a perfect evening.

Even better, this morning I had nothing to do but recover and prepare for another wild outing tonight.

Nothing to do…

I sensed there was something I was meant to do…

But what?

Something important, I seemed to recall. Something I shouldn’t have forgotten…

It wasn’t there.

It couldn’t have been that important if I couldn’t remember it, could it?

I smacked my lips. My throat was dry and sore. From all the shouting? The singing? The drinking?

The kissing?

My head felt like it’d been stuffed with cotton wool pompoms and a headache thumped at my temples.

My eyes opened like rusty garage doors. Did someone pour sand in them while I was asleep?

I peered at the woman lying in bed beside me. The bare skin of her leg showed and her big breasts lay pressed against my arm.

I sighed with satisfaction. Life didn’t get better than this.

The girl’s name was Ettana. She was my partying partner. We slept together sometimes. I slept with other partners too. Just as she no doubt did. It was nice to enjoy a different flavor from time to time.

I never strung anyone along. I always made it clear what the relationship was and what it wasn’t. They were always happy to go along with it. They enjoyed it as much as I did. Once they decided they wanted something else, something “more,” as they termed it, we ended the relationship as friends and went our separate ways.

No harm, no foul.

I saw Ettana more often than the others and not for the first time, I wondered if she was expecting something “more” from our relationship. She always denied it but I couldn’t help but get a sneaking suspicion she might. She was a lot of fun to be around. A good friend, nothing more.

I shut my eyes and let myself drift back to sleep.

Someone cleared their throat.

I turned my head in the direction of the noise. The room continued to sway even though my head had stopped moving. I shut my eyes, feeling sick to my stomach, and waited for the world to cease spinning.

“You shouldn’t be in here,” I said, unable to make out the fuzzy figure standing across the room. “This is my bedroom. You’re free to go to any other room you like.”

The figure didn’t move.

I squinted and tried to focus. I made out a sharp suit and a long, lean body. Even if I couldn’t see his face, I could have recognized his stiff gait anywhere.

“Hi Qat,” I said.
