"Wassup bro? Long time no see."

Amara said pulling away from the hug.

WTF.. I thought he's her boyfriend. They dont even slightly match. Oh God. Was I getting jealous over some hottie? Maybe its the tequila after effects..

"Yeah, I've been busy in work and stuff. So I see you brought some friends?" He said eyeing us with curiosity.

"Oh yes! They are Charlotte and Rayne Morgan. Char was admitted in the hospital past few days. Remember?" Amara said introducing us.

"Hi I'm Charlotte but you can call me Char" Char said ever so enthusiastically offering her hand to shake showing so much interest.

His eyes filled with amusement clearly aware of the effect he had on Char. "Hey, nice to meet you Char. So how are you feeling now?" He asked her lowering his voice and kissing the back of the hand of hers. I rolled my eyes over this insane, immature gesture of both.

"Never been better" Char said eyeing her palm where he kissed her and I rolled my eyes again. I swear one of these days my eyes will be seeing my brain if these kind of gestures continues.. 

His eyes than traveled to my face studying me intently. Probably remembering where he saw me.

"Hey I'm Rayne Morgan." I said with a slight nod in his direction.

"Hi. Have we met before?" He asked me in a curious tone.

"Maybe.. maybe not"

"Excuse me for interrupting big bro but we have to join the slimy sweaty bodies over there on the dance floor and shake our body organs a bit. So without any further adieu" Amara said grabbing my hand and Charlotte's hand and pulling us towards the dance floor. The way she described dancing made me shudder with disgust. NAUSEATING feeling before hangover.

"I'm not that drunk and stupid yet. I need more shots. I'll join you guys in a bit" I said sitting back on the booth and ordered some shots. To be honest I was feeling a little lazy. And if you're thinking who drinks shots alone, Well I do.

"Okay Awi have fun." She winked in my direction then pointed to him with her eyes. Obviously that stupid gesture didn't go unnoticed by him and the smirk appears.

He sat down besides me and ordered Bacardi. What even is that?

"Hey elevator creep." He said smirking in my direction. Tf?

"Hey handsome retard" I replied with a bored tone.

"I know I am-"

"Retard? Yes you are, thats what I said." I said cutting him off and smirking a little.

He chuckled shaking his head and drink his glass content.

"I thought your name was Alexander, isn't it?"

He made a disgusted face and replied "I dont like that name honestly. I prefer Xander, its much more sexy and..."

"Modern?" I offered.

"Yeah modern." He said smiling.

"You look hot by the way." He said eyeing me from head to toe which made me shiver. Not is the good way.

"Huh really? I thought I looked like a not-mr-retard-type-because-I'm-short-and-creepy?"

"Who said you're my type now? I was just complimenting you. You do look hot in this outfit"

"Wow! You're so straightforward and confident about your speech. Take it slow buddy we just officially met." I said amused and a bit shocked at his attitude.
