Rose & Thorn

Chapter 21. Unpleasant Demand

Elizabeth's POV

"Here You go" I slide the oceanic liquid,

"Thank You" chimes girl walking away with her drink, I sigh feeling tired already, if I keep aside the things what happened two weeks ago the rest of the part has been quite normal and uneventful, other than few arguments between Jeremy and Dylan the rest was nothing moreover it has been boring.

Yup it has been two weeks to the ball and Yes I haven't seen him since, not just him but Ad as well he used to be pretty frequent in club but now a days there's no sight of him, even there's no news of him,

That bothers me?

Honestly I don't know what it does to me but I kinda feel empty without his presence, I know I shouldn't be feeling this I've no relation to him after all and he's someone else's boyfriend,

But it would be a lie to say he has not been in my mind ever since I met him, it's like the moment I met him on that chaotic night he has rent a permanent room in my head, he's always there, can't even count how many times, how many nights I've think about those grey foggy eyes, my own hand reminds me of him that how he treated my wound,

It's stupid that whenever I look at the it I think of the wound he treated rather than my healed hand, as much as a part of me wants to see him again, I know myself it's better to be away from him.

I can't forget how long lecture Jeremy gave me after he got to know what I did, the topic of the lecture was "how to stay away from Alexander Xavier Thorn" so if we meet again I'd have to avoid his gravitating presence altogether.

Let's see how long my destiny will help me to avoid him.

I started working again like a machine it's a rush tonight can't blame it's weekend and it's normal to have crowd flooding up the club, though I'm quick than before still as compared to other I'm not as fast as them, especially with making these drinks do stunts, I can do basics but not throwing it in air and all,

I'm learning.

"Eliza it's pretty crowded tonight I need you help the girls serving around" said Taylor he supervises us, he's a nice guy rarely talks and is always working minding his own business,

"Yeah sure" I said putting the drink on counter, I really don't mind serving around I mean it's obviously tiring as club is big but I like walking, I'm not much of a sitting soul basically, and as my shift would be ending soon so I won't be roaming around for too long.

I'm happy that I'm working nicely without tripping, or most of the time I'm pretty clumsy "Thank You doll" I gave my fakest smile of the year to the group of guys who are pretty wasted already,

I mentally roll my eyes on their immature behaviour,

I personally don't like this type of guys, a guy should be mature and sensible even if he speaks less, like Thorn he's very silent types yet he seems mature, he's clearly not one of those who gets wasted and flirts around,

As much as I've seen so far,

I think tonight I'm thinking too much about him.

It looks like the stars were eavesdropping over my thoughts as the club doors opens and he enters flaunting the same dark and enticing aura around him with Ad walking close, there're few more men following him, my feet glue on the same spot so my eyes on him but he walks away without even glancing at me,
