From me, to you

Chapter II

Friday, 16th july

My birthday.  My 21th birthday.

The girls and I had agreed on getting ready at my appartment. They all had been really secretive about my present. I thought at first it was something make up related , but then they told me it was nothing in that area. I was really scratching my head trying to guess their present. The first one to arrive was Alessandra , punctual as always. A few minutes later was Seda and like expected Jordyn came 2 hours later. She arrived at 7 p.m and the party was suppose to start at 11 p.m. Girls will be girls and as usual instead of getting ready we talked. It was just us talking about whatever popped into our mind: food, clothes, and of course boys. Or should I say men ? Do the men of our generation actually deserve to be called men ? I'm not saying that all men are childish but you have to admit that the majority of the men in their early twenties all act like they're still 18 years old. Finding a mature man these days is like hunting. It is not like I'm looking   for one anyways.
Like I was saying we were talking about boys when Alessandra screamed: OH MY GOD we need to get ready it is already 9 p.m. We all got up and at 10:50 p.m. we were all ready to party. I was about to get in the car when all the girls started singing. I turned around to find my best friends holding an a big red envelope.

"Open up" Jordyn said smiling. I had the biggest smile ever on my face opening up the envelope.
" Spain" I said looking at them.
Seda smiled and answered "Spain baby"
I couldn't believe it, they offered me a week long trip to Spain. I always dreamed about going there but I never really went further than saying: "I want to go to spain". I looked at Seda with a big smile, so big that it actually hurted
"Guess what Justine ?"
"We are all going with you"

At that moment my smile grew even bigger than I thought was possible. We all jumped on each other and there was a whole mix of screams, laughs and me saying thank you over and over again. After ten minutes of hugging we finally got into the car on our way to El chapo. The theme of todays party was black and white. We all decided on wearing black. Jordyn had a shoulderless top with a black leather trousers. Seda was wearing a long jumpsuit. Alessandra's  attire was a short leather dress and I was dressed in a long bodycon skirt with a leather tank top. I guess you can say we like leather.

Like they say nowadays: our outfits were on fleek. We arrived at the club at 11:20 p.m. Already out of the cab we could hear people laughing, screaming, enjoying. Basically people having fun. Finally inside we were amazed, we were not expecting a place so big. It was so nice and cozy but also festive and cool. Entering the club we went straight to the bar. I ordered a mojito strawberry to start with. I don't drink too much.
Seda drinks regulary but Jordyn, Alessandra and I only drink on occasions. We were all discussing when our favorite song came up. Particula from Major Lazer. We're not your typical girls at parties, we didn't scream: Oh my god that is my song. We just looked at each other, smiled and went to the dancefloor. Dancing on the beat I had this feeling I was being watched. I turned around to find two chocolate brown eyes looking at me. It took me atleast five minutes to recognise those eyes. The owner ! Of course how could I have forgotten those eyes. The owner was looking at me. Me ! His eyes are so beautiful, I could have looked at them all day. I tried to ignore his mesmering stare but it was just impossible. Tired of dancing I went to the bar to drink when I felt a hand tapping on my shoulder. I turned around to face the person. Right in front of me was a black haired guy with a weird mixed drink in his hands.

"Hye beautiful"

Only those two words had to come out of his mouth for me to smell his disgusting breath. I was just about to turn him off when another voice beated me to it.

" I don't think the woman likes your company"

Guess who the voice belonged to ? Indeed, The owner to the rescue. Not that I actually needed his help, I could've perfectly get myself out of the situation. The drunk man, who's name I haven't made the effort to ask was too afraid of The owner to go against him so he just left like a coward and left me alone with The owner.

He stared at me for a moment and then reluctantly extended his hand "Esteban Corrado Hernandez"

I smiled and took his hand in mine "Justine Hudson, and thank you for scaring that man away. Even though I could have done it myself, it was very nice of you."

He smiled and my eyes directly turned to look at his bright white teeth , " Don't worry I know you could have handle him but I needed to find an excuse to come talk to you and when I saw the face you made when that man approached you. I jumped at the occasion to save you"

I smirked hearing his answer " You wanted to come talk to me ? why ? You don't really look like the kind of guy who needs a excuse to talk to a woman "

His face turned all serious in a instant. " First of all I am not a guy, I am a man. Or even better a gentleman. Secondly I did not need an excuse , I made it all up. I was about to make my way to you when that drunk friend of yours beated me to it. I wanted to try a different approach, to not intimidate you too much.

" Intimidate me ? You're are not a king or whatsoever to intimidate me"

I was lying. I'm such a liar, cause the truth is I was even more than intimidated. I was scared. The whole time he was talking the same question kept spining in my mind .

What does he want from me ?

He closed the distance between us. We were now so close that I only had to make one step forward for my lips to touch his. His brown eyes were looking straight at me with his arms on each side of my body. The tension between us was so tin.

"Still not intimated ?"

" Try harder"

Scared ? Yes, Intimidated ? Yes, Admiting it ? Never!

After ten minutes staying in that position he gave up. " Are you looking for something or someone ?" He said noticing I was not really paying attention to him 
" Really observant of you. I am looking for my friends. They're going home with me."
" No that is where you're wrong. I already know who you are going home with and it is not them." .
I gulped. Even if I already knew the answer, I needed to ask him. I could have been wrong.

" With whom than ?" I said trying to sound confident. Keyword, trying.

" Me."
