Out of her league

Chapter 30

Tanya's POV

"Hey Tanya, you look beautiful tonight," Josh' husky voice sent some unknown jolt through me as his eyes sparkled with happiness and something else that I couldn't comprehend as his eyes skimmed through me. What was with people looking at me like that? First it was Sidd. Now him. I ain't that pretty. Beside him was Dahlia, I really can't control myself man I really wanna roll my eyes,,, but I had to stop myself from doing so. She was wearing a very short jean skirt that was on the verge of revealing her butt any time and and a crop top which clung tight to her body and the Low neck cut revealed too much um I do not want to see that. Don't get me wrong, but I just don't like low neck cuts at all, I mean not offending people who like wearing clothes with those cuts but I think there should be a limit to how low it should be ?...But then again it's just my opinion.

Sidd seemed to tense up beside me. I could see his jaw tightening from my peripheral vision. Something is wrong with him today. So weird. Josh was still gawking at me. He finally met my eyes after I let out another sharp cough. Finally. He seemed to recover from his "shocked" state came over to- I don't like hugging people. I tried to seem as natural as possible when hugging Josh back. But it felt reaaallly weird. We may have been in a "relationship" in school but no, there was no physical contact between except the occasional "arms caressing accidentally" and so on. There was a spark then ; like cliche butterflies in my stomach and all those feels. But the hug felt different. It was strange.

"Josh," Sidd's eyes were dark. His brown eyes seemed to become black and his eyebrows cringed a bit and his lips were sealed shut and it was like as if he was forcing his expression to remain blank. And what remained was his cold demeanour as his eyes met mine. What I saw was... anger? What did I do? His arms were folded tightly, showing his bulging muscles underneath his black coat. And then his eyes averted my gaze and he looked at Josh again. "Bro how you doin?" Josh questioned, oblivious to Sidd's weird behaviour. Or even if he did know, he didn't care. "I'm fine, and looks like you are enjoying yourself too," he smiled a bit to seem teasing but I could see some other hidden tinge of emotions in his words. Something is really wrong.

" Well I am, I just found my angel again," Josh looked over at me with a smile as his arms slid around my shoulders. Was I supposed to feel flattered? But all I felt was the deja vu sensation of him complimenting me like that in the past. It felt nice and all. But that was then. But I smiled back at him anyway. They are all lies. They should be. Or maybe it was me imagining things. I keep having these battles in my mind. What should I do?

Dahlia grabbed Sidd's arms and hung on to it as if her life depended upon him. What a sl... never mind, I am not gonna say that. Why the hell is she even holding on to him? And Sidd looked uncomfortable but he didn't take his arms off her. I felt my fist clenching. I forced myself to open my fists again. Why would I be angry over them? They do not concern me. Take a deep breath in, breathe out. "Sidd and I need to spend time with each other, it's been so Long since we did. Right Sidd?" Her high voice almost damaged my ears, even with the background music blaring in the club. Sidd looked at me again. I couldn't study his expression in the blue lights that illuminated his face. He won't go. He shouldn't go. Please.

"Okay Dahlia, why not?" He smirked at me. What? Did he just agree to go with her? Didn't he say he that he did not like her? Dahlia let out a girlish giggle before yanking him away from that place. That DEVIL. How dare she? Nonono, I won't let them go together. Nooo- I grabbed Sidd's other wrist and ignored the tingling in my skin. Why did I do that? "U-um uh well weren't we supposed to spend time together?" I finished lamely. What the heck? I let go of his wrist abruptly and looked down again. He probably thinks I am weird. Well even I don't know why I did that. "Tanya, it's okay they can have their alone time and we can do too, besides we have seen each other for years, we got a lot of catching up to do," Josh spoke up again. What was I supposed to say? That OH I just don't want them to go alone like that cuz I feel... let's forget that.

"Oh okay," I need to bang my head against the wall. And as soon as I said that, Sidd was being dragged by Dahlia again. They are going alone. She is touching him. She. Is . Touching. Him. He let her touch him. He sucks. She sucks. Urghdifnfjnrin. What will they do? Scenarios were playing inside my head as a voice interrupted me again. "Why are you glaring? Is everything okay?" It was Josh. No, nothing was okay. I din know I was glaring in the direction that they just disappeared tho. Oops. I faked a smile and replied that I was okay. I was clearly not.
