You Are...

You Are... Chapter 4

Thank you JeNiKA_ScReAmO_ for the book cover :)

Aubrey and I got all dressed up and by the time the music started playing we were done.

Aubrey took out two beers out of the fridge. “Want one?”

“Yes please,” I said grabbing a bottle. “This is the only time I drink,” I told her.

“Really? I drink all the time,” she laughed taking a slip.

“Really?”

“Yup, its calms me and I’m Irish,”

“That explains it,” I said jokingly.

“It so does,” she laughed walking outside our dorm.

We headed three doors down dancing to the music.

The dorm and full with people and so was the hallway.

Aubrey and I danced our way inside the dorm to say hi toShelby.

She was in here living room dancing with group of people.

She saw us and waved. “Hey girls,” she walked over to us and hugged us both.

We smiled and hugged her back. “Nice party,” Aubrey said as they hugged.

“Thanks. Oh have you met my brother?”

“No,” we said as Shelby called two guys over.

I mentally groaned. “You again?”

“Always happy to see you Leah,”

I hate how he knows my name and I don’t know his.

“You two know each other,”

“Not really…” I said dryly.

“What cheesy pick up line did he use. I’ll slap him for you,”

“I went with the direct approach,” he said.

“By that he means asking his friend to ask me for my number,”

“I’m sorry,” she said. “Well since you know Pierce, this is his wingman, Noel,”

“Nice to meet you,” Aubrey said taking his hand.

He smiled at her. “Would you like to dance?”

“Would love to,” she smiled and led him to the dance floor.

“Play nice while I’ll get another drink,” Shelby said mainly to her brother.

“Don’t I always,” he smiled looking at me.

Shelby rolled her eyes and patted my shoulder before walking away.

“So, care for a dance?”

“Nope,”

“Why not?” he asked putting his hands in his pockets.

“Because I’m not interested,”

“But you barely know me,”

He got me there.

I gave him a hard stare and crossed me arms over my chest in defeat.

“Come on, Leah, one dance,”

I sighed. “Fine,”

Pierce smiled and extended his hand for me. I took it and he led me over to Noel and Aubrey.

They were flirting and dancing a little too close together.

Pierce and I danced next to them. He tried to make eye contact with me but I looked anywhere but his face.

He looked a lot like Shelby. They were strawberry blond, green eyed, and had the same nose and chin.

Pierce was way taller thanShelby and had some muscle on him. Pierce also had a small beard coming in and I noticed that his nose is pierced.

He smiled at me. “So, tell me about yourself?”

“What do you want to know?”

“Whatever you want to tell me,”

“Just ask,”

“Fine. Anyone back home?”

“My dad…and mom,”

“I meant a guy,”

“My dad,”

He raised an eyebrow at me. “So, you’re single,”

“Since birth,”

“How come? You’re beautiful,”

“I went to an all-girls’ school. I’m not really looking for a relationship. They never last and I’ve seen too many people get hurt,”

“So you’re just going to run away from every guy you meet?”

“Yeah, pretty much,”

“What if we were just friends?”

I thought for a moment. It doesn’t sound that bad.

“Fine,” I said with a slight smile.

Pierce smiled. “Awesome,”
