Dreamt About You...

Chapter 10

Sal's POV
We got to the party and it was very packed in the club. There was Jen's mum and dad and family, friends, Murr's family and friends, the guys and few others. Jen and Carly weren't here yet, so I stayed with Q. He was sat at the bar, so I sat on the stool next to him.
"Hey Q" I began.
"He buddy. Where were you all day?! I was waiting for you by the cinema" Q told me. It dawned on me! I totally forgot about Q as I was with Carly.
"Sorry bud, I was busy" I said to him.
"Who's party is it again. Jenifer?!" Q asked me. I laughed as I knew he already was having too many beers. I nodded. I glanced over to the doors to see Carly walking in with Jen beside her.
"Wow" I muttered, admiring her beautiful looks. She had a cute pink dress with leggings on and her hair down.... she was gorgeous.

Carly's POV
I walked in with the dark lights, music blasting. Me and Jen walked over to our booth and placed our stuff there and sat down. I looked across the room to Sal stood at the bar. He was with Murr and Q so I decided to stay put.
"Where's Murr??" Jen asked me.
"Over there" I said pointing to him, with Sal next to him. Sal looked up at that moment and must have thought I was waving at him because he waved at me. Murr also looked as Jen ran over to him. I stayed seated at the booth.
"Come and sit by me and Carly!" Jen begged Murr.
"Oh yeah. Carly! I'll come over now" Murr said, as Jen walked back to our table.
"Hey Q, why don't you join me and Jen with Carly" Murr said to Q.

Sal's POV
'Wait No!! He was trying to get Carly and Q together!!' I thought myself.
"I'm sure Q just wants to stay here~" I began until Murr interrupted.
"No no! Q come on!" Murr said. Q was very confused but played along and followed Murr to the table.  I spied around the club for joe but he was no where to be seen. I decided to tag along with Q.

Carly's POV
This guy name Q came over and sat next to me. He passed me a smile, but I really wanted Sal to be by me. Minutes later Sal came over and sat by Murr, opposite me.
"Hey Sal" I began.
"Oh hey" he replied.
"This is Q. He likes cats" Murr told me.
"Yep. I have 3!" Q said to me with a smile.
"I don't have any pets" I said. There was a moment of awkward silence and I felt as if I was being ignored but thankfully Sal saved me.
"I'm the same" Sal replied. "But I love red velvet cakes" he said with a wink to cheer me up.
"I'm the same, and I love couples ice cream" I said with a smirk. Sal began to laugh hysterically which made me laugh.
"Well Q loves super heroes" Murr said.
"Who wants a drink?!" Sal offered. Everyone jumped at the offer. "Carly, can you help?" He asked with a smile. I lightly laughed, then got up to help him.

"Dude!" Q said to Murr after I left. Murr gave Q a confused look. "She obviously ain't interested. Just leave it!" Q told Murr.
"I just want her to experience I have for you" Murr said to Jen.
"Uh, I think she is" Jen replied, pointing to me and Sal, laughing at the bar.
"No. not Sal" Murr said.

****
"So tell me a bit about yourself " Sal said to me.
"Like what?" I asked him.
"Carly! I don't know. Like your... parents?!" Sal suggested. My smile soon faded. I hesitated to answer, but I saw his smile and it made me want to answer.
"I don't.. speak to them anymore. They moved away to the country... and I haven't spoken to them in 5 years" I told him.
"Why?" He asked.
"Well we got into this argument, and they said they never wanted to see or speak to me again... so I honoured their wish" I explained. Sal's hand slowly moved closer to mine. I could tell he was wondering if it was a good move or not. Slowly, his hand covered mine.
"I'm so sorry" he said to me with a sympathetic smile.
"Well, my neighbour Betsy, she is like a mother to me. I've known her for 20 odd years" I said to him, to lift the mood up.
"Well she was very lucky to have met you" Sal said with a smile. We walked back to our booth, with the drinks and handed everyone theirs, when the DJ began to shout above the music.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I'd love to wish Jenifer a happy birthday! And to honour her birthday I think everyone should get onto the dance floor!!" The DJ shouted.
To be fair, all the guys apart from me and Sal were drunk. They all got up and got onto the dance floor and started to dance. It was just me and Sal left at the table. I watched them all dance and it made me laugh, Sal too. We were still sat opposite eachother, and took little sips from our orange juices. Occasionally we would pass each other a smile, but no words were exchanged.

"For this next song I'm gonna need everyone.. and I mean everyone with a dance partner... on the dance floor" the DJ shouted. Me and Sal still remained seated, watching everyone get onto the dance floor. Suddenly a spot light shon down on me and Sal.
"I mean everyone" the DJ joked. Me and Sal sat there for a moment, but the spot light, and everyone's eyes were on us. Sal suddenly got up from his chair and held out a hand to me.
"Come on" Sal said.
"No, I'm not dancing with everyone looking" I said to him
"Then just look at me" he said with a smile. I smiled then grabbed his hand and walked onto the dance floor, with everyone cheering.
"Now everyone dance!" The DJ said. He began to play a slow, romantic song.
"Oh no" I muttered, but secretly liked that Sal was my partner for this song. We looked at everyone around us, slow dancing. Sal slowly placed one hand on my waist, and the other connected to my hand, whilst I placed my other hand on his shoulder. We both swayed with the music. I felt comfortable dancing with him, looking into his green eyes. I took a risk and rested my head in his chest as we danced. I was worried how he would react, but he gently rested his chin on my head as we danced.
"This is nice" Sal whispered into my ear.
I took my head way from his chest to look up at him. I moved my hands around his neck, as he moved both of his hands on my hips.
"It really is" I softly replied. As the song was coming to a close, Sal slowly leaned in and planted a soft kiss on my lips. He leaned back to see my reaction, but I pulled him back in for another kiss. I could feel his smile crease against my lips.
"I love..." Sal began to say...
