Taking chances(Charlie Gillespie fanfic)**ON HOLD**

29

After what felt like an eternity, I finally reached Charlies car and since Owen called shotgun first he sat in the front seat. Which I didn't mind in he slightest. The more space between Charlie and I the better.

To get my mind off of what Charlie had said I decided to take some selfies of me and post one of them on Instagram. Then I zone out until we reach the club.

When we reach the club. All I notice is a sea of cars so I'm guessing the club must be packed. Owen gets out of the car first texting someone who I can only assume is Savannah to see if she's here yet or not. Charlie and I get out of the car at the same time.

I tried everything in my power to not look at his damn face, but failed miserably and when I did he was looking me up and down with desire in his eyes as he licked his lips.

"Stop staring at me. You act like you've never seen a girl in a dress before."

I tell him trying to walk past him, but he stops me.

"Oh I've seen girls in dresses before, but none of them have looked as good as you."

He tells me. I couldn't help but blush at his words. My brains telling me to keep on walking, but my lady parts are telling me to jump in his arms and kiss the hell out of him.

My head instinctively starts moving towards his lips and I could see that he was doing the same. Our lips were inches apart when my brain finally took over.

"Char we can't. I told you before I'm not going to get my feelings hurt. We are just friends and friends don't kiss."

I turn away and start rushing towards the club to find Owen and the others. When I finally to catch up to them I can see that Sav dancing to the music and Owen joining her. I don't see Jeremy or the others with them though.

"Hey! Where's Jer and Tori? I thought they were gonna be here to."

I try and say over the music to savannah since I was closer to her.

"They're running a little late. Tori just texted me saying that they'll be here in about 10 minutes or so!"

She says while continuously dancing. I join in with them trying to get Charlie out of my mind. My eyes couldn't help but wonder around the club to see where he was at though. No surprise he was talking to a girl who was pretty cute. I could feel the jealously rise up inside of me.

Why the hell am I jealous? I have no reason to be. We are just friends I keep reminding myself. I need a drink. Thank God I'm legally able to drink here so I'm I the clear. I make my way over to the bar.

I sit down in a chair while getting the bartenders attention and I order a shot of tequila. While waiting for my shot I could see out of the corner of my eye there was someone looking at me. Curiosity gets the best of me and look over and see a pretty handsome guy smirking at me. 

I give him a small smirk back then turn away as the bartender set my shot down in front of me. I take the shot and tilt my head back taking in the burning sensation that was going down my throat. I tried not to make a face, but failed miserably. 

When I opened my eyes back up the cute guy that was eyeing my earlier was now sitting right next to me. 

"Hello there cutie, I could only stare at you for so long before I had to make my way over." 

He said to me while looking up and down. I know the look of lust all too well thanks to Charlie and this guys facial expression screamed lust.  I'm starting to regret wandering over to the bar by myself. I thought I could handle some harmless flirting with strangers, but I can feel my anxiety starting to rise. 

"Awe well how nice of you." 

Was all I could manage to say without adding something I'd probably regret. 

"It doesn't sound like you're from around here, where are you from? oh and I have to buy you a drink." 

He says while winking at me. I mean hey it's a free drink so why not. Maybe it'll help take a edge off a little bit. 

"Yeah, sure how about you order me a cranberry and vodka. I'm also definitely not from around here. I'm from America just here visiting per say."

He orders me my drink along with something that he wanted and we made some small talk til our drinks arrived. While I was talking to this guy who I found out his name was Matt and that he's been living here the past 6 months. 

Once the drinks arrived I started to zone out and my eyes started to wander around the club to look for Charlie. He wasn't where he was before when he was talking to the girl so I look over to where Sav and Owen were sitting. Well they're still there, but their faces were intertwined together.

I quickly look away after seeing that Charlie wasn't there and kept scanning the crowd for him.  I couldn't seen to find him anywhere. Matt was saying something to me, but I wasn't paying any attention to him. My mind was too focused on finding Charlie. Suddenly I felt someone's arm slide behind me on my lower back from the right side of me. 

At first I thought it was Matt trying to be slick until I realized that he was on my left side. I instantly look over to my right getting ready to tell this asshole to get his hands off of me until I realized who it was. 

"What the hell do you want Charlie? Can't you see I'm busy." 

I say with annoyance in my voice. 

"No actually I don't unless you're talking to your imaginary friend." 

That's when I look to my left and see that Matt was no where to be found. I guess I zoned out longer than I thought because I didn't even hear him get up and leave. Then again the music is super loud in here. 

"Oh shut up. There was someone who was next to me. I just don't know where he went. Why are you with me anyways? Shouldn't you be out flirting with other girls." 

"Oh Michelle do I sense Jealously?" 

"You wish Gillespie."
