Taking Ecstasy With Taylor
Dancing With No Music
Taylor and I made it to the campus Holiday Inn. It’s a basic room but has a king-size bed.
Taylor has two large water bottles and two pills. They appear to be 3 pills stacked on top of each other. She places them on the end table.
“Boo, do you love me?” Taylor asked.
“Of course.”
“I want to hear you say it.”
“I love you Tay Tay.”
“Do you trust me?”
I don’t know where this is going, but I play along.
“With my life.”
I have a seat on the bed.
“Have you ever had or heard of the drug ecstasy?”
“Baby, I don’t need a drug to take you to ecstasy.”
“T.K., please work with me.”
“Okay Bae. I’ve never heard of it.”
“Well, it’s basically a party drug that makes you feel delicious.”
“Can it kill you?” I asked.
“Some party goers have had an adverse reaction to it. There have been a few deaths.”
“However, if properly hydrated, there is nothing to worry about.”
