Something About Him

"What's wrong?" Carter asks me.

"Nothing," I reply. "Why would anything be wrong?"

"I saw that hard ass eye roll," he laughs. "Now what happened?"

"Nothing..." I trail off while laughing to myself.

He's always checking for me.

Carter sucks his teeth mumbling a quick, "Yeah aight."

Soon enough, more people begin dancing and a circle forms as we watch it all happen. Mostly everyone has their phones out recording in the snapchat app.

I record too until Gianna comes towards me and tugs on my wrist to get my attention.

"Yeah?"

"He's here," she says with a smile.

"Who's he?" I ask hoping to finally get a name.

She motions in a direction and tells me, "Chris. He made it."

I look over to where she was motioning towards and it's the same group of guys that I was looking at not long before now and the Chris she's talking about is.. bleh.

"It's Chris?" I ask stupidly.

"Yes," Gianna furrows her eyebrows at me for a second. "I literally just said that."

After that she leaves my side and goes towards Chris. She doesn't even have to get his attention though because as soon as she's near him, he watches her make her way to him with a small smirk on his face.

Chris says something to her before pulling her into a side hug and afterwards I'm guessing that he feels my gaze because he looks my way.

While looking me up and down, he licks his lips quickly and then gives me a questioning look which makes me immediately turn my head and attention away from him.

Just then, I notice Dominic making his way to Carter and I.

He shakes hands with Carter and then turns towards me.

"I see you made it," He smiles while pulling me into a quick hug.

"You know it," I respond while smiling back. "Now y'all know I can't dance, but I never miss a party," I joke earning a laugh from the two of them.

"Yeah well I got a few people staying afterwards just to kick it you know?"

I nod my head and then Dom says, "And I want y'all to come. You two and whoever y'all came with, aight?"

"Oh, it's just Gianna and Allie. Not a lot."

Right after, Carter interjects, "Shit you came with Gigi? She talks too fucking much!"

Dom and I laugh and Dom agrees then adds, "It's nothing. She could still come, I guess. Y'all just make sure y'all here aight?"

We agree and Carter shakes hands with Dominic again before he goes off talking to other people.
