Unlikely Connections

Chapter 2: The Unforgotten Meeting

Part A

Ryan's POV

I couldn't forget him, the boy from the party 3 months ago, even though I never got a chance to talk to him as I lost sight of him after the announcement and speech about the newest product lunch.

I had my eyes on him until my view was interrupted by the various people congratulating me on the success of the product. I had searched for him afterward but came up short, he must have left after the speech I assumed.

I was still deep in thought when Liam's fist connected with my stomach.

"Fucking pay attention," he said unapologetically

"Sorry but can we pick this up another time?" I said not in the mood to get beaten up further.

"dude, what's up with you?" he asked

"Nothing, just a bit distracted."

"Anything I could help with?"

"Not unless you can find someone based on vague descriptions," Oliver said from the other side of the room where he was lifting weights.

"Who?" Liam asked looking at both of us confused

R-"Nobody" O- "A guy he saw at a party" we answered at the same time.

"Which guy?" Liam asked facing Oliver

"He doesn't know his name but to quote him 'he has a mop of black hair and beautiful green eyes that were not too bright but also not too dark'" Oliver said with a smile on his face

"Wow, Ryan said that?"

"I was just as surprised" 

"Where did they meet?"

"Correction where did Ryan first spot the unforgettable enigma?" he replied before adding "At the previous lunch."

I toned out but their conversation as I started taking off the tape on my fist as my mind wandered back to that night.

They only stopped gossiping when a call came in for Liam. After some minutes he ended the club looking slightly annoyed as he was trying to hide it, there was only one person that could annoy Liam that easily and it was his brother Jacob.

"Who wants to go to the club tonight?" he asked

O- "Me" R-"Not interested" Oliver and I replied at the same time.

they both turned to look at me in surprise

"Well, that new" Liam said. I knew what he met by that but I wasn't in the mood to go to the club and hang out especially when it seemed Liam was going to fish out his brother.

They were going to get in a fight as usual and then Liam will drink all night and one of us will be stuck with him, and usually, I was the one stuck with his drunk ass by the end of the night.

I closed my mind to their conversation and concentrated on completing my training regime.

After I was done, I took a shower and was about to go to bed when I received a notification from Alex's social media. It was a video recording of their night out tagged me and the boys.

Liam and Jacob seem to be arguing, I wasn't surprised by it as I already predicted this. Liam was overprotective and Jacob did everything he could to get on his nerves.

I swiped up to the next video and was surprised when I saw the familiar face beside Oliver conversing with him.

It was him, the boy from 3 months ago, I instantly got up, messaging Oliver while dressing up.
