I am Widow

Chapter 36

We arrive to a house north of the city, it is big. Paul opens my door and we walk hand by hand. I don't mind, I am not taking this as a date but even if I did, I am single and so is he.

"Relax Wid, have fun." Paul says as we walk in. I see everyone looking at us for a second but then they mind their own business. We walk into a wild party, even though there aren't many people, it's pretty crazy. I see couples kissing, dancing, guys being stupid and girls tripping.

This tall guy comes to us, "HEY! Pauly!" he screams since the music is so loud.

"Hey! Happy Birthday man!!" Paul yells back.

"Thanks! Nice date! Hope you have fun!" he winks and leaves.

I turn to Paul and say no. He won't be having any fun with me, no sir. He smirks, "You sure?" I punch him in the arm and he laughs.

We get something to drink, of course there is "punch" and "Gatorade", so I get a Smirnoff and Paul gets a beer. I didn't even know he drank!

We talk to some seniors, and joke around. I ask Paul if Jackson will come, since he knows the birthday boy. He tells me he really doesn't know but if he comes I don't need to worry.

I get a couple more drinks and get loose. I see Gigi, Jessica's friend, and dance with her a bit. She is actually pretty cool and smart.

"Hey is it true?," she asks.

"What?!"

"You and Jackson are over?"

I just nod and begin to move with the music. I don't want to remember that, not now. I just want to have a night without thinking of him and Rachel.

"well at least you have Paul. He's hot and nice not to mention smart. You are dating him?" Gigi asks.

I laugh a bit and deny her question. I mean, I am not gonna lie, Paul is pretty hot. He is tall and lean with muscles, smart, and nice.

"Okay well you don't mind if I dance with him right?"

I say no and drag her with me. I find Paul and tell him to take Gigi for a dance.

"Sure, hey I'm Paul." he introduces himself. Gigi smiles and says hi. She gets his hand and takes him to the dance floor. I go get another drink and go to the kitchen. As I walk out, I bump into someone.

He turns and it's John.

"Hey what the hell are doing here?" he asks. He seems kinda buzz but not drunk.

"Paul invented me, why are you talking to me?"

"Why not? Jackson told me you are pretty nice and fun to be with. Besides I like you more than Rachel that's for sure."

His blonde hair is kind of messy and his outfit is messed up like if he had a make out session.

"Okay well bye I guess. Have a nice night." I say. I get my drink and go to the dance floor. I see Paul and Gigi grinning against each other with the beat of the music. Both are smiling and screaming waving their hands in the air. The song ends and they come to me.

"Okay, well I gotta go find my friend. Paul is all yours now, bye sexy!" Gigi screams.

Paul laughs, "Wow! She is a freak!"

I get a sip of my drink and Paul grabs it. He drinks the bottle in a single gulp!

"Okay, now you and me dance now!" he grabs me and runs to the dance floor. A very hyper hip pop song plays and everyone goes crazy. I tell Paul I can't really dance but he doesn't care and well I don't either, I get into the song.
