The Real Win is you

Waves of emotions

It's been 4 months now since Nataysha last talked to Tom. At first she was upset and just the slightest mention of Tom set her off. No texts, no calls, not anything from him. She finally finished her studies and is now working in the forensics field. She's grown closer to Rob and Julian and now the 3 of them 3 like best friends. They do everything together but she refuses to be in the same room as him. Some people view it as petty but to go on a first date with somebody, make them fall for you then never talk to them again is pretty crappy.

Julian's birthday was approaching and he was hosting a ball and donation/charity for his birthday. Nataysha was of course invited but so was Tom. The good news was that Tom couldn't make it to the party because he had something else important to do so she decided to go. The ball was in 1 day and she had already picked out her gown and everything.

*Day of the ball*
That day she had gotten ready at Julian's house along side Rob. Her gown was a champagne yellow with sparkles and her hair was in a low bun. Once they all got ready they went to go take pictures.

"I swear I've never had so many pictures being taken of me before" said nataysha.
"Well I mean we go through this all time for even the smallest events" said Rob. "It gets tiring" she said.

When the photo session and speeches were over, the donations were made for children in continents where they couldn't get enough medical help so that they could be able to get proper check ups and medicine.

The party continued and Nataysha was having a blast. She was with the guys laughing and talking about the next season when all of a sudden she froze, and in front of her she saw whom she thought she didn't want to ever see again. Tom. It's like she was paralyzed for a few seconds and all of her surroundings went quiet and all she could hear was her rapid heart beat. A wave of emotions hit her. When Julian and Rob realized what was happening, it was too late to do anything. She had seen Tom. The person she didn't want to see. As soon as she regained control of herself she said to the guys "excuse me, I have to go". "Wait where are you going?" asked Julian. "I don't know, anywhere but here". As she started to walk away Julian tried to stop her. "Listen I'm sorry, I really am, I didn't think that he was going to be here" "its fine it's jus- it's fine, it's whatever but I really can't be in the same room as him because I'll literally punch the douche bag" nataysha said pacing back and forth. "Here come, how about Rob and I try to keep you as far away as possible from him tonight and you do this as a birthday present to me and as a favor from last month when you made me look for an hour for that spider that never showed up" said Julian with a smirk. "Alright alright fine, fair enough" she said laughing.

They walked back into the ball and began to socialize with people. She had kept an eye out for Tom just in case he tried to approach her. She was talking with some of the donors when she realized that she needed to go to the bathroom. "If you'll excuse me for a minute" she said. She went to the bathroom and was walking back while looking down on her phone that she didn't realize that she bumped into someone. When she went to apologize to who it was she stopped half way. Her expression went from sorry to anger in a matter of seconds "Never mind" she said in annoyance. She had bumped into Tom. She started to walk away but he grabbed her arm.

"Hey" was all he managed to say. She stared at him but yet again all she felt was a wave of emotions. Nataysha sure was angry at him but she was kind of glad that he pulled her back.

"What"
"Nothing I jus-" Tom said.
He pulled her even closer to him but she didn't resist.
"You look beautiful" he said not taking his eyes off her. But she didn't say anything back yet. After a few seconds, all she managed to say was "Why?"
