ALL THAT I EVER WANTED

Ten : PRETTY HER

Tristan Yilmaz

The truth about my father was not totally unfolded. But now I know that he exists atleast. But he won't be a part of our lives anymore. It's always been Me and Mom and will be.
Vacations end today , which means I've to get back to college by evening. Also It's Winter New Year Ball Night tonight. One of the most youngest nights of NYMU. It has been conducted every year past 4 years. I am not a big fan of parties but as my batch is organizing it so I'll have to attend it.

The party started on time and all the people from college started coming in. I was assigned to welcome our Chairman and some special guests at the gate. Black limousine parked up on the gate and I saw Dr.Crackhead stepping out of it with some other great doctors of the hospital. Chairman and his son Edward came along. I got it that it was the time to get closer to Dr.Crackhead and get some more knowledge about Neurosurgery programs.

I didn't want to look a creep therefore I waited until he was free interacting with others. But soon he left with some of the other doctors. And the situation didn't seem good , all seemed tense and in hurry. Maybe there was some problem at the hospital. And maybe this wasn't the perfect time to impress Dr.Crackhead. "You know , Dr.Hayden Morelli scheduled a surgery today , even if he knew about the party! He seems to have a great dedication towards his work !" Someone said . "Of course , I wonder how did he survive here after indulging in a great scandal?" Another said.

I ignored those talks and decided to get myself a virgin Mojito to freshen up a little. It was an hectic evening and leaving Mom was not exciting too. Ohh my beats increased , my heart raced like it was running for formula race 1. I don't know How? But I was deeply attracted to her. Ms.Marathon. She stood up at the bar having her drink , dressed impressively in peach , accompanying Kevin-the gossip buster as well as flirt master.

I understood the look on her face crying for help. I thought if not now then never. Coming up to her I ordered my drink wisely having a gentle eye contact with her. Oh My God , anybody could literally drown in them. Her gaze stuck my side and I knew it was time. "You okay , Miss?" I asked . She stopped , her mouth still open from the first witness. Gulping all that was going on she said ,"Yea , perfectly fine!" We had a little chit chat session , a little awkward but comforting. Claire seemed to be as pretty as her looks from inside. Oh Claire , Claire Rose. Finally It's Ms.Marathon Claire Rose.

As I said Now or Never , I had plenty to ask to her. And the noise here in the party grew louder. So I thought maybe we might go to the lawn garden and talk a bit more and there it was an unexpected interruption. Her friend showed up , the one who accompanied her to the hospital. She excused and I think she is not coming back , thats it for the night. I am glad that at least I know her name.It won't be awkward anymore. Ohh she's back!

Weather today was chill and cold. But the wind was gentle. She hasn't spoken a word since we came out. "So you study in NYMU?" She asked. Um I think she is nervous because this party was only for NYMU candidates . "Yea probably , from past 4 years!!" She chuckled . "Um , so you close with Mia?" Regretting the sentence I just spilled I asked . I was just concerned about her company after knowing that Mia was too bad to be a company. And also I didn't want her to know that some long time ago Mia had a crush on me and she asked me out! But to my relief she replied to a 'No'

Oh God ! I feel so stupid now . Who even asks such a straight question on their first meet? I am so damn stupid. The wind grew more wild and it was freezing now. Claire put her hands folding together and I knew what to do. I was just about to take off my court and just live the Hollywood movie vibes when her phone buzzed. "Oh ! It's past curfew , I am sorry but I need to leave right now. See you around?" She said calmly. I nodded and volunteered to walk her up to the door. She went as soon as she saw her friend and again I was left alone. But surprisingly she turned back and passes a gentle smile and I knew the signal. Claire , Claire Rose it is then.
