Paul & Moi

Chapter 3

NINA'S POINT OF VIEW

I receive a message from Hillary:

"Hey Neens, tonight we're going to Tim's party, he's part of the football team and is just too CAN*o*N!!! 20h "

It's past 7 p.m. and I don't know this Tim. The desire is not there but to please Hillary, I accept.

I wear makeup quite slightly and I choose to put on a white dress that reaches me above my knee, quite sexy with a plunging neckline and that highlights my shapes. Isn't it a little too vulgar? Too daring?

They knock on my door, I take my bag and my phone and get off at full speed. My parents work and are therefore not often at home.

Hillary is wearing a green dress that is a little too short for my taste but it's Hillary what do you want.

Hillary: "You're sublime as usual"

"Thank you too. So you're counting on this Time?"
We get in his car.

Hillary: "Yeah, he won't be able to resist my charm, you know men prefer blondes"

I smile.

"By the way, where is Jena?"

Hillary: "She stayed at home, she told me that she didn't want to see her ex. "

Jena is very discreet about her private life, she gives us little information about her sentimental life. The only thing I know about her ex is that he is part of a high school sports team, that they did not stay together for very long and that she insisted that he is a jerk.
We arrive at this famous Tim. The music is full and his house is full of people. There is a group of girls who dance very sensually in the corner of the room and attract attention, I hear laughter and drink a lot. There are also couples who kiss to choke or vomit on them. Hillary disappeared in the crowd, great! I find myself alone. Several girls from high school came to talk to me. Then a pretty tall brown guy comes towards me.

"Hey hi, I'm Tim. I'm organizing this fire party!"

It's true that he's pretty cute.

"Hi, I'm Nina. Your evening is going pretty well to what I see."

"Yeah" he approaches me "you know, you are very..."

Hillary arrives, she seems drunk...already...

"Delighted Tim, I'm Hillary, I need to talk to you in private"

I try to hold her back but she ignores me and takes Tim by the hand.

He turns to me and winks at me.

I go to the bar and I pour myself a glass of vodka, I drink it ass-dry. I'm giving myself a second drink. I start drinking then a hot guy but pluuuus that canon, sits next to me. He has green eyes, brown hair, a fairly square jaw and is muscular. He smiles at me and I notice his perfect dentition.

"Go mollo, this thing is strong"

"And are you?"

"More than delighted to meet you. Paul, captain of the football team"

I lose my words in front of his angel's mouth.

Oh...huum...I...am..."

"Very pretty! Nina Forbes, captain of this year's cheerleaders, if I'm not mistaken. "he interrupts me.

I try to hide my satisfaction when he tells me I'm pretty.

"How do you know my name?

"It's about being popular. Would you like to dance with me?"

"I don't really know..."

"Come on! Come!"
He trains me on the track and starts dancing. My God, what is he dancing badly... I take his hands and we start dancing together. Then we get closer and more. He makes me laugh and I enjoy this moment.

I danced all evening with Paul whom I barely know, I remember having already heard his name in a few discussions during training. The party is over and I didn't see the time pass. It's 2 o'clock in the morning and I drank. Paul helps me look for Hillary but impossible to find her. I searched in every corner of this big house but it's nowhere. I deduce that she came back without me.

"If you want, I can take you back,"
Paul offers me

"I don't really know, I wouldn't want to bother you, especially since we've only known each other for a few hours"

"It's not like l'm a crazy man who was going to kill you and cut you into pieces," he jokes. "Go up, I'm not going to let you sleep here or go home on foot"

He is right. I give in and I settle in his car.

"You know, you were the most beautiful of the evening. It's crazy the charm you have!"

"Stop, I bet you say that to all the girls you meet"

"You see me like that, eh..."

"Don't tell me vou're the romantic and sentimental kind"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"I heard that you were a girl, that's all"

"I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8 p.m.
We'll go to the restaurant and then to the cinema"

"What? No!"

"It's going to be funny, just to laugh.
Okay?" OK?"

"So it's a kind of
improvised meeting? "

"Exactly"

I hesitate, guys like that, I had some and they were all goujats. I don't want to have a broken heart again.

"I can't accept, I'm sorry..."
