I was wondering why did I agree to this!?

Today is our neighbor aka Mrs. Alexandra Cavill's 34th Birthday, who also happens to be my mom's friend.

I am just 18 years old not even 21 so I can't even drink. I'm just sitting in a corner with a glass of Lemonade in my hand.

My mom is enjoying a lot with her friend and the others.

My dad doesn't live with us. He works abroad and I see him only on Holidays.

My dad is my bestfriend besides the actual one that I have.
Lol.

If my dad could join us, I wouldn't be this bored..it's my mom who doesn't give a damn about me.

No wonder she's best friends with our cranky neighbour Mrs. Alexandra Cavill who is throwing this rich and boring party for adults.

I feel so bored with life.

I had a boyfriend almost 4 years ago, I miss having a boyfriend..

Boys suck anyways.

While I was thinking all this hanging my head low and sipping my Lemonade, a hot and raspy voice brought me back to reality.

"Hello beautiful, never seen you here before?"

Says a man who looks like he was crafted by God in his free time.

"Uh actually um My mom is friends with Mrs. Alexandra. I don't come here often my mother does." I say feeling very nervous at his presence.

"Ouh I see, you're drinking a lemonade at a party?" The man says and laughs.

"I'm not yet 21, just 18...can't drink lol." I say.

"Ouh but you look so mature for your age honestly." The man says smiling.

"Thank you so much, I didn't catch your name?" I ask curiosly thinking who this hot stranger might be.

"Oh me? I'm Alexandra's husband Henry Cavill. Nice to meet you...um" the man says and I realise i haven't yet introduced myself.

"Oh i- I am Stella Davidson, nice to meet you too" I say.

We shake hands.

So this is Mrs. Alexandra's husband?

Lucky woman!!

"I'm surprised to see a young girl here" he says while taking a seat beside me.

"oh me too, sorry to say but my mom forced me to be here because she didn't want me to go out with my friends haha"
I say looking in front of me where I see middle aged women smashing cake in each other's faces.

I need to hide now or they'll attack me too..I thought to myself.

I get up and try to leave.

He holds my wrist.

"Stella where are you going?" He asks with his charming smile still on his face.

"You know I don't want cake in my face" I say laughing.

"Oh then we should hide together, I don't want cake in my face either...I guess" he smirks and leads me to a secluded place out of the crowd.

"It's so peaceful here with these big statues and cool Breeze." I say as we sit down on the bench in front of us.

"I love this place too, whenever Me and my wife get into a fight, I come here to breath some fresh air and maybe smoke a bit." He says with a chuckle.

"Ouh" I say hearing about their fight part. Too early to talk to a stranger about this..

"My wife doesn't want children...she's 34 and I am 40. She didn't tell me about this before we got married, I always dreamt about having my own family."

Henry says taking a sip from his glass of Whiskey.

"Ow that's bad" I say sympathising with him.

Such a wicked woman..I always had a feeling she's evil..I thought to myself.

"So are you in highschool or college?" He asks

"Oh I just graduated high school, I'll go to college in a few months" I say.

"That's nice..i remember when I was your age.. I had a lot of fun and did a lot of wild things as well.." he says with a smirk.

"Oh what things?" I ask curiosly.

"Oh you wouldn't wanna know" he says chuckling.

"Oh no tell me please, now I'm curious" I say.

"So you know...like I was in my senior year and we went to prom and then I met a girl and our vibe matched and then We hooked up at her place..." He says as he takes a sip of his drink.

I look at him.

"You know the craziest part about the hookup was that she was my English teacher." He says laughing.

"Oh my god!" I say in shock and laugh along.

"I was quite a ladies man back then" he says chuckling.

"Oh well i know you still are" I say with a wink.

Oh fuck it, it's Alexandra's husband, I hate that lady.

"What? You think so" he says and laughs looking shocked.

"So did I charm you, beautiful?" He says looking directly into my eyes.

"I guess" I say sheepishly feeling very nervous about his gaze.

"Would you like to exchange numbers by any chance if you're comfortable, i really like the vibe you give off" he says looking at me in a way that's giving me butterflies.

So should I exchange numbers with a 40 year old Married man?

Hell yeah!

"Oh sure"

We exchange numbers.

"I'll text you" he says with a wink.

I blush and leave when I hear my mom call me from inside.

I go back home and Think about this encounter the whole night.

How come I never saw this man here before?

Maybe I should leave my room sometimes.

I think all this and set an alarm for 6:30 am before going off to sleep.

I will go for a walk tomorrow because I need to clear my head.
