What Brought Me To You

Chapter 3 - The Meeting Pt. 2

Kalen's POV

Back to the party,
I decided to grab drinks at the bar for me and Kia, I scanned the room and seen her.
Can't wait to tell her what just happened.

Eventually, I reached her.
"Kia!" I called
She grabbed the other drink on my hand
"What took you so long?" She asked

I lowered my voice,
"Dude! Just saw the prettiest girl ever!"
"ENZO!!! That might have been your funniest quote!" Her laughter broke out.
"I'm serious!" I told her about the girl I bumped into.
"She's beautiful, her face is angelic! Her voice? Ugh!"
"Uhmm okay?? Over reacting much? How's the dating ban going brotha?"
Laughing along with her I said, "If its for her? Fuck it!"
Kia's eyes narrowed at me,
"Hahaha, guess you haven't seen Hailee yet huh?"
As I tried to keep a straight face I told her,
"And you really gotta bring that up?"
"What can I say? 20 minutes into this party and I'm already entertained!" As she try to suppress another laugh, she continued,
"Why don't you look for her?"
I shook my head, "Tempting but I think I'll pass, I didnt come here for that." I replied.

Kia pushed my shoulder lightly,
"Tsss! Then what else did you come here for? besides I just saw Simi so I'll go and say hi to my friends"

As I placed a hand on my chin, I pretend to think, but Kia insists I leave and find the girl.
"Go bro! Hurry up! If I were you, I've already gotten her number by now."

I put my hands up,
"Fine, I'll go, I'll go." I placed my drink at the table. "Call me if you need anything." I said before I turned and left.

I went to the bar first.

Sitting on a bar stool, I turned my attention to the lounge instead of the bartender.

Scanning through the venue, I thought, there's no way to miss that pretty face.

Among the venue's features are a U-shaped bar, a dance floor in front, and several booths around the area and more upstairs.

No luck, my attention turned to the bartender.
Considering how crowded it is, I might as well get a drink.

Didn't think Abel would invite half of LA.

I'm surprised I haven't seen Hailee yet. I'm not complaining, though.

As I tried to get the bartender's attention, my gaze followed her.

On the very left hand side of the bar, she placed two drinks on the counter.

It wasn't long before the girl with blonde hair and an angelic face reached for the drinks. Sitting there, she looked at her phone.

Fuck yeah! I found her.

It's obvious she's waiting for someone.
Boyfriend? Nah, why would he make her wait? One way to know is to find out. I thought.

My feet hit the ground and I started walking.

As I stood right behind her, I lightly tapped her shoulder.

"Jisoonie—"
Seeing me instead of Jisunie, she stopped.
I could tell she recognized me from her expression.
I simply said "Hi, are there any takers for this seat?"
"It is yours to take if you choose." She smiled.
"Wanna play something to pass the time? Let me keep you company." I try to sound confident without being arrogant.

It looks like it worked since she tilted her chair just enough so we were facing each other.

"Sure, what kind of game is it?" she asked.

"Two truths and a lie,
Three things about me. One obviously is a lie. If you guess which one, then I drink and vice versa." I explained.

With an amused smirk, she said, "I got it! But where's your drink?"
