A Time For Love

Let's Start the Party

The party had only been on for around twenty minutes it was already filled with half-drunk people. It was too loud, the bass reverberating through the whole house.

I recognize some people I knew from our school are there, cup of alcohol in hand while dancing with someone grinding each others body.

I jumped as Steven grabbed my hand and lead me towards the kitchen giving me something to drink from the fridge.

"You look lovely tonight." he said while examining me from head to toe. I can't hide the blush forming in my cheeks. I am wearing a red mid thigh strapless dress all open at the back that fit with my sexy figure matching with my four inches red heals. My hair was in a soft curl. All in all I looked perfect.

"And you look handsome tonight." I teased him back. He looked handsome in his white shirt and leather jacket paired with jeans. His golden hair was perfectly tousled falling over the place. And totally mouth watering.

Just then someone appeared and kissed him in front of me. I gasped aloud as I saw that it was Amanda Walker.

I turned around and went off to find Lexie she was with Nathan. Trying not to touch any sweaty bodies I got to the bar and ordered one tall island punch. I need to get a drink to calm my nerves. Some guys raked over my body in a way that made me want to take a few steps back but its too late he grabbed my wrist. I tried to jerk my hand out of his grip but he's muscular he was holding into it harder than I would've liked.

Just then someone appeared and ripped his hand off my arm so hard. I heard the guy curse in pain.

Steven pull me in a hug and kissed me in my hair. I felt safe from his muscular arms. All my anger from previous encounter washed away.

"Sorry I shouldn't let this things happened to you." he whisper in my ears while his arms still in my waist. I can smell his aftershave and it makes me shivered.

"Come on I'll take you home." He was close to me. Much too close. So close that the whole of his left side was pressed against my right side.

I felt his arm still wrapped around my waist. We came out the party and headed out the street. He hailed a cab and it immediately stop in front of us. "Get in!" he commanded.

"Wait! What about your car?"

"No need to worry about that, just get in!" He opened the door and gestured me to come inside. I wanted to protest but I think it isn't the right time. I went inside and he did too. I scooted sideways away from him.

"Where to?" the old man asked politely. I'm about to say something when Steven's the first one to answer.

"Brooklyn." He ordered. The driver snorted and drove away. The whole ride is quiet and I didn't know why we're going in Brooklyn.

"Stop right there." Steven instructed. The cab driver parked next to what looked like we were in a port. Then my jaw dropped as I saw the view. We were overlooking the buildings in New York. I think it's the view of Manhattan. I could see a cafe' and other stalls in place. There were also people everywhere enjoying the view.

I suddenly fell something wrapped around my body. Steven's jacket is now planted on my shoulder. I looked at him and he just avoided my stare. He took my hands and we started walking. It made me feel warm. I glanced at our hands intertwined together, I felt insanely stupid for smiling. Although his current motives right now are unclear, I felt safe with Steven as we walked near the seaside railing with the overview of the city.

Steven let go of my hand as I slowly walked towards the rails. He leaned at the railings while staring at the city.

"Beautiful Isn't it?"

"Yeah." I replied without hesitation. "Why are we here anyway?" I added.

"Not sure to be honest." He replied while staring at the city lights.

"This is breathtaking..." I muttered.

"Yeah, first time to see the skyline?" Steven gestured.

"Yes, we never came to New York as tourists, you know." I turned my head back to the buildings I was staring a while ago. I'm enjoying the moment. I could stare at the Skyline all night.

"Aren't you cold?" I had no idea what to say just to break the silence so I just tried changing the subject.

Steven eyed me as if he knew what I'm trying to do."Now that you mention it, it is kinda cold." He took his jacket from me and wore it. I furrowed my brows at what he just did.

'After all the sweet things he did' I just glace back to the view. It was kinda cold. I wrapped my hands around my self to compensate for the cold temperature.

'Quite the gentleman, why am I not surpri-' I stopped complaining when I felt Steven hug me from behind.

"Better?" He added boldly.

"No." I felt stupid trying to hold back my grin.

"Yeah, keep kidding yourself." Steven chuckled.

"Chloie?" His voice suddenly turned serious and it sent shivers down my spine.

"H-Hmm?" I tried to mumble a word.

"You look great tonight."

"You flatter me too much." I answered without hesitation.

He tightened his embrace and made my back drown closer to his chest. "I just can't help it."

After hearing those words, I couldn't help but smile anymore.

I closed my eyes and feel his warm body. I wanted us to stay this way. I wanted to be in his arms. I felt safe.

Maybe I'm falling for this guy.
