THE TWO OF US

Part Six

Gabriella's POV
I was in my room, getting ready for the night party I was going to with rose. I was kind of happy though. Happy I have somewhere to spend my weekend at.
I was putting on a red strapless body con gown which was reaching just before my thighs. I'm well...on the thicker side, so the gown didn't help in hiding my shape. My cleavage was not really showing. I decided to let my hair fall down, it was reaching close to my butt. Yeah that is how long my hair is. I did my slight makeover and was thinking of what heels  to wear when I heard Giana's voice telling me rose was around. She sure keeps to time when it comes to party.

I quickly put on one of my white party heels rushing down, I saw Rose in all her glory standing in a black body con gown as well reaching the same length as mine. But hers wasn't just strapless it was backless as well , her hair was also let down but she made more effort in her makeover than me.

"Oh my goodness, you look so hot" she said coming closer to where I was. I smiled softly

"Same as you, I couldn't even recognize you" I added giving her a playful wink.

She laughed, "that's because My foolish ex boyfriend would be there, and I want him to regret ever leaving me for that witch" she said glaring angrily at no one in particular, I chuckled, she is always up to something.

"Let go," intertwining our hands we left for the party but not before telling Giana I might not be home till the next day, I was actually planning on staying at Rose place since her house is closer.

****
The house party was not what I expected, I was expecting just few people but boy was I wrong. I could see many faces, some I know and some I don't.

"Have this" rose shoved a shot of tequila in my face which I gulped hungrily and almost immediately.

"Really good in taking alcohol, aren't you?" Rose said on top of her voice raising her voice teasingly at me. Taking alcohol has never been a problem, in fact it was one of the things that keep my mind off things at home. I would lock myself up and drink myself to stupor then waking up the next with a terrible headache.

"I'm not that innocent as you think I am" I replied rose who laughed. as she was about to give me a reply, someone in the opposite direction caught her attention.

"That's Dennis, the boy band leader" she said pointing towards a boy looking the same age as me. He has a filthy smirk on his lips , and a boyish look practically eating up every lady that walks past him. Many of them sending him filthy smiles as well. When he saw our stares on him, he started strolling towards us with the same smirk on his lips and not breaking the eye contact.

"I don't like when pretty ladies are looking bored in my party" he said giving us a filthy smile and extending his hand for an handshake to Rose then me. "Are you new around here?" He asked squinting his brows "never seen you around"

"I'm not new, just my first time attending a party in college" I said taking another shot of my tequila.

"Oh, you are pretty, you should show yourself off often" he said earning a small smile from me. "Have a nice time girls, see you around" he said before strolling away to another group of girls.

"He is so cute" rose said still staring at him with dreamily.

"Hey, you shouldn't fall for boys like that unless you want another heartbreak" I said smacking her fore head lightly. Boys like Dennis isn't the type to be in a relationship with. With everything I have seen he is almost every girls crush here, and girls were swooping around him like ants. And he is really enjoying the attention.

She looked at him once more seeing how he was filthy with all the girls she said "Yeah, that's true I shouldn't" shaking her head and huffing out "I need to go find my stupid ex, do I look sexy?" She asked the uptenth time today after earning a yes from me she headed to where ever and told me she would be right back.

I was dancing softly to the music, even though my head were dipped on my phone. I just wanted rose to come back as soon as possible. I hate feeling like a loner in places like this. My instinct told me to look up, I did and I saw this gorgeous creature again Raphael or what ever rose called him. He was staring down at me with a cigarette wrapped around his fingers.

"Seems you enjoy invading in peoples space don't you?" I said rolling my eyes, my attention back to my phone.

"What's your name?" He unexpectedly asked. I was Not expecting him to ask, not in a place like this and seeing how he kind of pulled a vibe of not liking me.

"Gabriella" I firmly stated.

"Gabriella" He tasted my name on his lips, making me look at him nodding my head. "Why are you here? You didn't seem like someone that party" he said in those thick voice of his earning a light chuckle from me.

"I actually do look like someone that party, I basically love parties. It just I never had any invite or who to go with" I told him, he only looks like he was scrutinising me with his eyes.

"Who do you come with?"

"My friend, she would soon be back" I said earning a hum from him, puffing out a smoke he continued looking at me. I cough slightly as the smoke was coming directly to my face.

"Do you think it wise of you to smoke? Seeing you are the ministers son and have a reputation to protect" I asked him curious to know why he isn't anything like a ministers son, instead he was giving out vibes of a gangster.

"It wise of me to do anything, and I don't care about whose son I am" he replied me nonchalantly. I exhaled, it hard making meaningful conversations with him.
Almost like on a reflexes he brought his hand tilting my chin towards him slightly he mumbled "you are so pretty" I didn't quite heard him due to the loud music booming from across the house but I read his lips. A tiny blush crept on my cheek, making me slowly gripped my chin away from his hands, but I didn't say anything. He continued staring at me though, making me uncomfortable

"Can you stop staring?" I said trying to break the awkward situation.

"I want to stop staring but I cannot" he said again, this time more to himself. My cheek was burning from his intense stares. "I will see you tomorrow" was all he said before going to wherever he came out from, I held a breath I didn't know I was holding. There is something about him I can't decipher. And I don't want to see him tomorrow.

Just then I saw rose , beaming a proud smile at me. "Gabby!!!" She squealed "that bastard was shocked when he saw me, his eyes was filled with regret especially when I started filthy  with other guys, he was on a choke hold" she said grinning widely.

"Well.. how does it feel to be in control" I said giving her a a smirk.which she returned.

"Feels great" was all she mutters back before we made our way to the dance floor , whining and grinding on each other. Rose never left my side through the whole party and I was more than grateful.
