I Wasn't Expecting That • {r. m. l}

It was only a smile
But my heart it went wild
I wasn't expecting that

(The First Meeting)

Ella

"Happy eighteenth, Ella!" All of the girls standing around me shouted which attracted attention from the other people around us in the club. I laughed, blushing slightly from the attention that I was getting. I was quite a quiet person which was the opposite to a lot of my friends and most of the people that were in my party.

"You're an adult now." Miranda said as she walked towards me pulling me into a hug.

"Sort of."

"You are so lets drink! And dance!" She thrust the second drink in her hand forward and basically forced it on me. "All in one." I had never been the biggest drinker, I wasn't a bore or anything I just didn't like getting drunk all of the time for no reason, but since it was my birthday party I tipped the drink back and let the strong liquid travel down my throat.

"Yeah!" I cheered as Miranda grabbed my hand and pulled me forwards towards the dance floor where we began to jump up and down and just have fun and let loose.

You gotta go and get
Angry at all of my honesty
You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies
I hope I don't run out of time, could someone call a referee?
Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness

I know you know that I
Made those mistakes maybe once or twice
And by once or twice I Mean
Maybe a couple a hundred times
So let me oh let me
Redeem oh redeem oh myself tonight
Cause I just need one more shot at second chances

Yeah
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body, ohh
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
I'm sorry yeah
Sorry yeah
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'll take every single piece of the blame
If you want me too
But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two
I'll go I'll go and then
You go you go out and spill the truth
Can we both say the words, say forget this?

Yeah
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body, ohh
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm not just trying to get you back on me (oh, no, no)
Cause I'm missing more than just your body (your body), ohh
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm sorry (yeah)
Sorry (oh)
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down (let you down)
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm sorry (yeah)
Sorry (oh)
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down (let you down)
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

We both sang along loudly to Justin Bieber blasting through the speakers of the club and some of the other girls had joined us. We all laughed as we sang the higher notes badly. Some of the girls around me would of been completely embarrased if they weren't as drunk as they were. Some of my friends were grinding on random guys that they probabaly didn't even know the name of but that didn't really appeal to me, I had never been one to just hook up with anybody.

I turned my head as my friend started making out with a tall, black haired boy and I looked around the club, surveying the area around me. It was very dark in the large room with random strobe lights flashing around, the walls and floor looked dark purple but I couldn't tell with all of the different colours flashing around. There was a wide bar that went across one side of he wall and a strangely shaped staircase that led to the upstairs which I think was a bit of a more VIP area, a part of it was anyway.

A small group caught my eye. Five boys and three girls, three of the boys and one of the girls were blonde and a lot of them looked quite similiar so I assumed that they were related but I couldn't know for sure. One of the boys, the one that my eye had caught on initially had quite long brown hair and a bit of facial hair. He was really nice looking and I didn't really want to look away. There was just something about him I guess, something that I liked.

He looked my way, there was something in his eyes, a certain look of strange recognition as our eyes met. I was kind of embarrased because I had been staring at him and he must of noticed. He didn't seem put off or freaked out though, he smiled. A wide grin and it was beautiful. It was only a smile, just like so many other people gave me but it was different. My heart began to feel slightly unsteady and beat slightly faster, as if it was wild. Maybe it was a foolish thing to think because it probably was but I felt like there was something there, I didn't know what. I hadn't expected that to happen though.

Rocky

It was kind of lonely being the only single one in my family. It was different with Rydel because her boyfriend had been one of our best friends before the started dating so Ellington was always invited but that meant that Ross and Riker wanted to bring their girlfriends. Ryland was single at that time but he would always flirt with girls where ever we went because he was young and that's what people did. I didn't just want to find any girl and hook up with her though, I guess I valued things a bit more than that.

But then my eyes met hers and I smiled at her.

I wasn't even near her but some kind of energy radiated off her, a vibe that I liked. She was beautiful and she blushed which was kind of adorable. I felt like she was someone who would be good to get to know and be around and I wanted to do that. It wasn't because I felt left out around my family and their girlfriends but because there was something metaphorically pulling me towards her. She put my heart in a weird state, beating faster and eratically and the moment I saw her I knew that she was something special to me.

I walked over to her because that was what I would have to do to actually speak to her. None of my siblings seemed to notice my departure, they were busy with their partners. I didn't blame them, if I had a girlfriend and I loved her I would want to spend every single moment I could with her and maybe I knew right from the start I wanted to spend every single minute I could with that girl I saw in the club or maybe it was just luck and chance.

"Hi." I said controlling my nerves as I stood in front of her, she had seen me coming and walked towards me, her friends had been busy too. I wanted to know what else we had in common. I wanted to know a lot about her.

"Hello." She had a small smile and it was cute. She was cute.

"I'm Rocky."

"Ella, it's nice to meet you." Her eyes were a beautiful deep blue colour, I could of looked into them forever.

"Are you having a nice time?" I didn't really know what to ask or talk to her about because I didn't know anything about her.

"Yeah, it's my birthday so it's good."

"What birthday?"

"Eighteenth."

"That's a good age."

"Yeah." She nodded. "I think I've got a bit more freedom now." She giggled quietly looking to the floor but she shouldn't have tried to hide her small laugh, she had no need to.

"Enough freedom to go on a date with a guy you met in a club on your birthday?" It was bold and I knew that but I thought I may as well go for it and despite my nerves and worries I had a feeling she would say yes because she felt the exact same as I did.

She grinned widely, widely enough that I could see her white teeth. "Yeah, definately enough."
