Buried Feelings.

4. Alyssa

Jessica and I got to The Wonderland Nightclub at about 10:00pm. Tommy let us right in and we headed down the stairs into the club. The lights were flashing all different colours and I felt Jessica tug on my arm. I turn my gaze from the girls dancing on the bar and see her face light up with the lights hitting her.

"Als you don't mind me going to check out some guys do you?" She asks and I could see she had already eyed someone in the club. I shake my head and smile at her "Thanks. You're the best" She kisses me on the cheek then turn around and walks through the crowd.

I let out a loud sigh and run a hand through my hair seeing the Lantern stamp on my hand. I walk myself to the bar and order a vodka and coke with a couple of shots to get me started for the night.

"Alyssa..." I hear someone call out my name "Alyssa Leyton"

I turn around and see a guy standing behind me. From the light I could see his hair was a dirty blond and his eyes were a ocean blue. I didn't know him, but apparently he knows me. I don't say anything I just turn back around and down the two shots the bar guy placed in front of me.

"You are Alyssa Leyton yes?" I turn back to the guy and raise an eye brow.

"Who's asking?"

"It's me... Scottie" He says and I just eye him "I use to be your neighbour"

"Yeah well I've had lots of those" I reply not understanding what he is trying to state.

"I used to live next door to you 7 years ago" He says and still nothing comes to mind and he must know that because he continues speaking "We were 11 when we shared our first kiss behind the tree in my back garden" He states. I stand up straight and lean against the bar remembering that memory. This is the guy I once called my bestfriend. The guy I once trusted with my life. This is little Scottie I grew up with, but then got let down when he moved.

"Oh right... The Bestfriend who ditched me back in year 7" I utter taking a huge gulp of my drink.

"About that... Alyssa I..."

"It's forgotten" I cut in to make that clear "that was like 7 years ago so whatever"

"Erm okay" His ocean blue eyes travelled down my body and I could feel the gaze he was giving me as I sipped at my drink "You've changed"

"Well yeah considering I was 12 when you upped and left me" I throw back at him "I wasn't going to stay the innocent Alyssa forever Scottie. Things change and so do people" I then take my drink with me as I walk pass him making sure I nudged him as I passed.

Xxx

"Who's the hot guy you were talking to earlier?" Jessica asks as she stumbles up to me. We've been at the club for a good 2 hours and Jess was already drunk. Don't get me wrong I'm half way there, but my dear friend drinks like a fish.

"Just an old neighbour" I shrug it off taking hold of my friends hand "Come with me Jess. Toilet time"

Jessica nods as I literally have to drag her through the crowd of people. A hand teaches out and grabs my arm jerking me back. I turn around mad as hell until I see those familiar green eyes.

"Jason don't do that... I was about to drench you in my drink" I hiss at him pulling my arm from his grasp "What you doing here anyway?"

"Cousins birthday" He states nodding to the bunch of loud guys in the corner "He just turned 21"

"Ahh okays, well I'm off to the ladies room. Have a good night Jason" I lean in real quick and give him a quick peck on the cheek lingering my lips on his skin for a few moment before pulling away and winking at him. I was never this good at flirting before, but then again that was when I were a virgin.
