Bright Eyes

Chapter 5?

"Hey Sky," I say. He was wearing skinny jeans and a white shirt with a leather jacket. He also has a gray beanie on top of his brown hair.

"Man, you literally ran into me twice today; I think it's fate!" he says with a breathtaking smile.

"Hehehe... good one." He looks at me for a few seconds when he notices Bella standing next to me. His smile then turns a little sour.

"Oh hi! I didn't notice you there. Your Alex's friend from Sturbucks right?" 

"Yup, that's me! I'm Alex's BEST friend."

We all go silent after that comment. Sky is looking at the ground. He seems little upset. I hope Bella didn't scare him some how. She that a lot to protect me from something that I still haven't discovered. Sky sees me trying to read his thoughts and smiles. He sighs and looks up.

"Wha..." he begins but Bella interrupts.

"I think I see a friend of mine at the bar. I'll be back," says Bella and walks out of Sky's sight. She then turns around and winks at me. She proceeds to the bar and starts speaking unheard words to Danny while frantically waving her arms and pointing.

"So..." Sky says. He pulls up a chair and sits in it backwards. "How long have you known Bella?"

"I've known her since high school." I say as I sit myself into a chair beside him.

"Oh."

"Are you here with anyone?"

"Yeah, with my friend Derick but he ditched for some girls."

"You didn't like them?"

"Let's just say... they weren't my type."

"Oh." It's getting really awkward. I feel kind of bad. Small talk isn't really my thing.

"So... crazy weather am I right?"He looks at me and starts laughing."What! Did I say something wrong?"

"No offense but you're TERRIBLE at small talk! I thought I was bad but..." He is laughing so much he can't finish his sentence.

"Well I'm SO sorry I'm socially impaired." I say sarcastically. We both laugh until I literally fall off my chair.

"Are you okay?" Sky giggles.

"Yeah! I think I'm going to get something to drink. You want any thing?"

"Water." 

I go to the bar and get us both waters. I come back and give Sky his water.

"How old are you?" Sky asks.

"24."

"How come you didn't get any drink?"

"I don't like to drink. How old are you?"

"26."

"How come you didn't get anything to drink?"

"Well I just met a guy today and I don't really want to embarrass myself in from of him. Might get the wrong idea."

"Makes sense." We drink our water in silence and I move to the rhythm of the song playing. Sky sees me grooving and smiles.

"You want to dance?" He nervously laughs to himself.

"Me?! No, no. Even if I did, I'm terrible at it."

"No body is actually good unless they are serious about it." He puts his water down and stands. He nods toward the dance floor which has very few people there."C'mon. It'll be fun."

I place my water on the table and we walk toward the dance floor. We start to dance to ourselves and laugh as each of us sings to the lyrics to Bruno Mars. A slow song starts to play and we look at each other and giggle. We head back to our table as the song plays. It feels good to get out of my comfort zone every once in a while. Especially when someone's there along with you.

"I probably should go soon,"says Sky through his heavy breaths.

"Yeah it's getting late. Bella and I will probably leave soon to,"I say. I take out my phone to check what time it is. 12:00! Crap! I haven't seen Bella since we bumped into Sky. She's so luck tomorrow is Saturday!

I guess I look worried because Sky says,"If you are worrying about Bella, I can help you look for her. I need to look for Derick too."

"Thanks. That's really nice of you."

"Just consider it a favor."

"And what can I do to return the favor,"I say with an arched eyebrow. I hope this isn't going to be the bad kind of favors.

"Well, we could be friends. I find it only appropriate since I DID catch you when you fell... twice." I laugh when I hear this and fear fill into his pale green eyes.

"Well since it is the only APPROPRIATE thing to do, sure." A sigh of relief exits him and he laughs. "So as official friends, what is the first thing we do?"

"Well, we should be able to contact each."

"Seems reasonable. Okay here you go."

We give each other our phones and exchange numbers.
