I'M NOT HER

Stranger

Sara came back home meeting Cindy lying on the couch and watching a movie. She sat next to Cindy, dropping her bag on the floor.

"How was the interview? " she asked looking at Sara.

" It was good but the woman was looking at me weirdly, Iike she has seen a ghost. She even asked strange questions" Sara answered while taking a sip of Cindy's soda.

"What kind of questions? "before Sara could answer it she got a call from Sam and excused herself to her room.

"Hi love, sorry for not calling earlier. How was your interview? " Sam asked.

"It was good but I'm kinda nervous,you know. It's a big company. I hope they hire me though. I've missed you" she said.

The lovebirds spent hours talking on the phone about the farm because Sam wanted to talk about it and Sara had to pretend she was interested.

Sara went to the kitchen to have something to eat. Cindy was still lying on the couch at the exact call

"Hey babes,are you busy tonight? " Cindy asked.

"Ermm no, why?"Sara asked .

"Me and my boyfriend are going to a party. I don't want to leave you here alone. It will be fun" Cindy said hoping Sara would say yes.

"Sure why not? It's my first party in the big city " she said beaming with joy .

*Cool, let's pick an outfit" she clapped her hands  joyfully.

**
Cindy had a tight blue dress on , she tied her hair up and added makeup to complete her style.

Sara has a short black dress on and the necklace Sam gave to her on their third anniversary. She put on a mascara and lip  gloss.

**
They arrived at the party. There were so many people and the music was loud.

"I'll go look for my friend. You can get a drink. I'll be back " Cindy yelled and left before Sara could respond.

Sara went to the bar attendant and ordered a drink.

"This is for you " the bar attendant handed a drink .

" I didn't order this " Sara yelled so she can be heard.

"This guy did " the bar attendant pointed to a girl in a black shirt and pants. He had a tattoo on his neck. He was fiiiine. The guy took a seat next to her.

"Thank you for the drink. I'm Sara" she said.

"I'm Max" he offered his hands out to her and she took it." Are you here alone " he asked.

"I'm here with my friend but she ditched me to find her boyfriend." she yelled cause the room was really loud" It's my second day in the city. There are so many people here than back home" she ended.

"Why did you move here?" Max asked obviously curious .

"I want to pursue my music career and where else than the city.  I had an interview with the Smith Corporation. I honestly don't know if it went well " Sara said clearly under the influence of alcohol.

" How did it go "

"I honestly don't know. The lady looked at me strangely. I don't know why I'm telling you all this. I've been lonely "

"Do you want to go somewhere quiet. It's really loud in here " he asked.

"Sure, I'll just text my friend "

**
Sara and Max went to a quiet bar. Max had to use the washroom and later joined her.

"Sorry about that" he apologized

"It's fine. I don't blame you for not controlling your bladder" she said "I don't know why I said that out loud" she buried her hands in her face.

Max held her hands and looked her in her eyes" it's fine People say stuff when they are drunk." He said with a smile.

A guy stood on stage and tried to get the people's attention.
" Everyone, it's Saturday night and you know what we do every Saturday night. We sing and dance all night " he took out a sheet of paper from his back pocket"We have a special lady called Sara who wants to sing. Come on give it up for Sara" the crowd cheered.

Sara looked at Max"what is he talking about? I didn't sign up for anything " she said confused.

"You didn't but I did. You said you wanted to pursue your music career well you have to start from somewhere " he ended.

"But"

" No buts . Sara !! Sara!! " Max started cheering and the crowd joined .

"I'm gonna kill you" Sara said to Max and got up on the stage.

She took in a deep breathe.
" I wasn't prepared to sing tonight until someone signed my name " Sara said looking at Max while the crowd laughed.

" This song is titled For tonight by Giveon . Hope you guys enjoy it. 
Sara started singing and the crowd joined singing with their heart and all the emotions.

**
Max and Sara took a walk in the middle just talking about anything and everything .
" Thank you for tonight.  I had fun " Sara said and kissed Max ,he kissed her back passionately.

"I'm sorry,I don't know why I did it. I had a lot to drink. I should probably go" Sara tried to leave and Max held her hand.

"I can't do this. " Max kissed her "I can't" he kissed her again.

"Excuses. Let's go to my place." He said with those puppy eyes. How could Sara say no to that.

**
Sara sat on Max's couch waiting for him. His house was big. His house was bigger than the house she was sharing with Cindy,way way bigger.

Max had a wine bottle and two glasses in his hands. He poured a half glass of wine and handed it to Sara.

"Thank you . I shouldn't drink it. " Sara got up. " What am I even do there? I'm in a stranger's house." she said hoping Max would give her some answers.

"You are right. We are two strangers who met and have a good connection with each other" Max locked eyes with Sara and her heart was racing but she was waiting for him to make the first move this time.

He kissed her,a soft and gentle kiss. He took off her dress and carried her to his room. He kissed her body. Sara opened her leg invitingly and helped Max take off his shirt.

Until the moment was ruined when Sara puked on Max's chest. She covered her mouth and Max opened his mouth obviously shocked.
