My Valentine

The Stranger

It was Friday night and the music was blasting, My heart thumping with the bass. I had come out with my cousin and sister seeing as we all had a long week at work. I had a stressful week, The buyers who usually bought our wine were second guessing on the deal as if they didn't know that Valentine Vineyards was the leading company for wine in the market right now. I sigh. Crap I shouldn't be thinking about work, I came out to have a good time.

I shake my head and take a shot of tequila. It was just that kind of night. The kind where I wanna forget all the stressful shit In my life. I make my way to the bar, dancing as I go, shaking my hips to the latin beat. I'm not oblivious to the way men and some of the women are looking at me and my body. I was featured as one of the top 25 successful and beautiful people under 25, so a they probably recognized me. I ordered a shot of vodka.

I saw a man approach me from my left. He smiled at me. He was cute. Tall, cocoa complexion, chocolate brown eyes, and looked completely built under his black crew neck shirt. oookaaaay he was more than cute he was HOT!

"Hey, I'm Jackson "he shouted over the music. I smiled and downed the shot, I grab his hand and take him out to the dance floor, I crooked my finger at him, letting my hips sway to the music at the same time. He chuckled and and made his way to me. When he reached me he grabbed my hands and ran them up his stomach, to his chest and finally around his neck. I just threw my head back and laughed.

He looked down when he heard my laughter. "What?" he questioned, his lips right by ear. we were swaying to the music together now. I leaned up "Your so straightforward, I like it" once i finished saying it I licked his neck, and I heard him groan. "Damn. Guess were both straightforward" he smirked.

I turned around and let my body sway with the music. His arm came around my waist and we started to move to the sensual music. His hand started to move but before they reached their destination... my ass... The song changed to a latin song and I quickly turned around grabbed his arms and spun myself once. He just laughed and we began to dance to the salsa rhythm we came together and I danced around him brushing my fingers around him. His abs, neck, lower back, and ribs. He jumped when I did that.

I came round and touched his lips. I was leaning up, towards his lips when a hand grabbed my arm. I turned around with an annoyed expression. "What the hell!" but when I saw Marisol I smirked. "Que quieres? no ves que me estoy gozando?" she scowled at me "Nina! venimos para pasarla bien no verte seducire un hombre que no sabe de tus juegos!" I rolled my eyes.

My family knew what had happened a long time ago and they've wanted me to settle down and find a nice guy. But I knew better, all men ever did was cheat and play games so why couldn't I play back? I turned towards Jackson, he looked at us with a confused look. ughhhh why did he have to be so cute? with those eyes! I was about to just take him deeper in the crowd to dance but Marisol pulls the bottom of my hair a little and whispers in my ear "Vamonos. Ya basta. Has tomado mucho."

I groan. I was having a good time I didn't wanna go, but I knew she wouldn't stop bothering me until I went. I suck my teeth, gosh she's such the mother hen. "Vaya pues. Ya voy." She nods and starts to head towards Flor my cousin to tell her we were leaving.

I turn back towards Jackson and march up to him, I grab the front of his shirt and smash my lips to his. He kisses me back instantly and I bite his lip making him moan, he opens his mouth and our tongues dance with each other, I feel lust that I haven't felt in years. I pull back and see his eyes are glazed and he seems to be in a daze. I look at him under my eye lashes. "I had to do that at least once. Me voy guapo" I start leaving when he grabs my hand. "Your leaving?" his eyebrows frowning "What is your name? When will I see you again? Can I at least get your number?"

I smile. Man I can't believe I found myself actually wanting to give him my number. I shake my head ruefully. "Maybe someday I'll see you again, and I'll give it to you, I'll leave it to fate" I lean up again and give him a simple kiss, not one filled with lust but one with hope. I make my way towards my family but before I'm completely out of view I look over my shoulder and see him touch his lips, I smile to myself, and before I even understand what I'm doing I yell out "Nina, My name is Nina!"

When I get to Marisol shes scowling, but Flor is just laughing and shaking her head. Sol drags us out of the club and into the car where Luis is waiting for us to go home. Before I get into the car Flor looks at me and gives me a sad smile "One day Prima, Te vas a encontrar un hombre que te enteresa and you'd have wished you'd have gotten to know him. Instead of just playing your games."

I sigh and just shake my head "No Flor. There's no man that could ever interest me." That was the first lie I had told in a long time. Nick did interest me and that was what I was afraid of. I couldn't leave my heart on the line again. It's a good thing I'd never see him again I thought to myself!
