3rd Person's POV
Laney dances slowly and gracefully by herself in the middle of the dance floor as the band plays 'Nobody' by Mitski. She doesn't even care to open her eyes to see all the interested stares of guys. She just sways to the music as she lip sings the song to herself.
And I don't want your pity I just want somebody near me Guess I'm a coward I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me I just need someone to kiss Give me one good honest kiss And I'll be alright
Her mind goes off to times with Xander. She tries her hardest not to think about him yet she can't help but still feel slight heartbreak. No she didn't still have feelings for him, but like the song said she wanted somebody near her. Before that was Xander, but after finding out his feelings for her wasn't as much as his feelings for Buffy... it hurt. She didn't let anyone know she was still hurt, because she didn't want anyone to feel bad for her. All her life she had been rejected and her friends were chosen over her. And every single time just like the last, it made her feel horrible about herself.
I've been big and small And big and small And big and small again And still nobody wants me Still nobody wants me
And I know no one will save me I'm just asking for a kiss Give me one good movie kiss And I'll be alright
A wave of heat surges through her body as she continues to dance. Her eyes open to see a guy staring intensely at her from across the club. His blonde hair was such an opposite to his black dark and mysterious attire. He gave off interesting vibes and Laney definitely wanted to keep his eyes on her.
She bites her lip seductively and gives him a look. She watches him chuckle and lean back against a pillar nearby. He crosses his arms and licks his lips. As music gets higher and faster, Laney closes her eyes again and sways again with the song. The guys stare is so intense that Laney can literally feel his eyes on her body. His eyes drag from her face to her hips then back up. Laney turns her back to him and slowly runs her hands through her hair then up above her head.
Spike can't help but stand and stare at this intriguing human. Usually someone like this he would swipe right up and drink their blood but this one... he wanted to just watch her. It was like she was a siren when dancing. Instead of her voice being intriguing and catching every mans attention, it was her aura. Here she was distracting him from finding the slayer. All she did was dance and lose herself in the music.
He couldn't take his eyes off her, not even when their eyes connected. She gave him a sensual look and he fell for it. He had to chuckle at her confidence. It was like none other. Not even Dru could capture his attention in this way. He liked it.
The crowd grows as the song ends and a faster song is played. Spike sighs in disappointment as he loses sight of the girl. Not knowing why he cares but he wished that he would see her at least once more before he had to leave.
