Last First Date

Part 1. Old keys won't open new doors

Note:
Hi! So this is the first chapter of my first ever book. I'm really really nervous, but I still hope everything will be fine

✨✨✨

While pouring myself some milk into tea, I tried my best to forget about him and our last conversation, however it's easier to say than to actually do. No matter what, my thoughts came back to that very moment when he looked into my eyes and  said we were done. Yeah, I knew it would be like that in advance, because he was just the kind of boy to mess around and live, so was I, actually.
At least, I really wanted to think like that.

There were a lot of girls and boys who had a crush on me. I knew I was hot and never had any problems getting a one-night stand and having a lot of fun. Feelings or dating wasn't really my thing and love seemed to be total rubbish. Nevertheless I end up sitting on my sofa being completely lost in my head and the thought that came on my mind pissed me off immediately
- Maybe I was in love with Noah

But no- no fucking way it could happen to me, I was on the verge of giving up and that was it, I stood up and headed to my closet in order to pick my outfit for the night
-"Yeah, I'm going to club, getting fucking mortal, finding the hottest person, having the greatest sex and call it a night
Sounds like a plan, a really good one"
But that instantly reminded me of how my life had looked like before I met Noah and for fuck's sake it reminded me of him as well
-"No, I can't stand all these stupid thoughts anymore and I'm having a grate time tonight" - I was trying to convince myself as I ordered an uber

It was a warm late spring night, my favourite time of the year. Everything is blooming and coming back to life after a long and cold winter.

I inhaled deeply, trying to get as much fresh air as possible and the warm and itching feeling of excitement started to form in my gut. I felt like something really good should occur tonight.

When I pull up next to the club and went out of the car, my ears caught a muted sound of the music from the building in front of me, the street was crowded, all of the people were laughing and talking while they were going inside of the club, I sighed deeply reminding how funny it was to spend evenings like this, before I met him and headed inside with the others.

The club was fully packed with people, bright neon lights hit my eyes, music was so loud I could barely hear my heartbeat and this wave of sounds went through my whole body. I was coming up to the bar when I heard someone called out my name:

- Olly! Long time no see, where the hell have you been mate?

It was Thomas, an old friend of mine who I spent so many nights clubbing together with, I couldn't say we were like actual friends, no, but he was a great companion at looking for hookups and dancing all night long, he was the one who introduced me to Noah....

- Hi. -  I patted his shoulder and gave him a big bright smile, I was genuinely happy to see him though, Thomas was very easy-going and carefree person, maybe you would never trust him your deep worries but you can always have some fun while hanging out with him, grate lad, in nutshell.

- Not sure where to start, but I had some things  to handle, not a big deal, just work, you know - I lied, didn't want to explain all the details of my relationship with Noah, basically because it was none of one's business and because I came there to forget about him, unfortunately I hadn't succeeded so far...     

- Well, I see, anyway, happy to see you again, ready to paint town red? - he cried out excitedly and I answered with a smile, I was really pleased to come back to my routine and forget about everything, eventually

After some time, couple couples of shots and about hundreds of songs both of us exhaustedly placed ourselves in the booth, Thomas sighed heavily

- Maybe we're already too old for that, I feel like murder a bottle of water - and I was about to answer him with a joke as I saw Noah approaching the bar and making an order

- Fuck - I muttered under my breath, but Thomas seemed to hear it and looked exactly at the direction I stared myself at

- Oh, that hot guy you fucked the last night we met - he said on turning back and facing my desperate look

- Something wrong? - he wondered and I found nothing better than said

- No, just fine, actually the sex was bad - and it was a complete lie, these words left bitter-sweet taste as they went out of my mouth and I wish I never said that out loud, Noah was perfect at everything and the only thing I wanted was to be with him, oh fuck how whipped I was... I twitched at my own thoughts and looked away of Noah, finding someone staring at me seductively, the girl was really pretty, I had nothing to lose so I stood up without any hesitation and headed at her direction with the sweetest smile ever, Thomas didn't seem to be bothered at all as he scrolled through the twitter feed.
