There Is A Light

Little Lies

Andrew is calling me, what for? He has never , in the little while he's dated my mother, had a reason to call me.

"Hello?"

"Hello Allura. I was calling on your Mothers behalf to tell you that we would be getting home tomorrow in the afternoon."

"Oh. Okay. Where is she?"

"She got a little carried away at dinner, and she kept begging me to call you to let you know of the plans. So we will see you tomorrow."

And just like that, the line was dead. What the fuck?

He talked as though he had authority over me, or as if he had a place in this family. Tomorrow afternoon is when they'll be home which gives me enough time to clean and get settled in. I'm really debating if I should tell my brothers he called. They aren't exactly fond of him, and neither am I.

I gather myself up, quickly looking at myself before heading back out to the pulsing club. Ray follows suit, looking around for who I assume would be Nora. Looking down to see if my dress isn't higher than it should be, I'm met by a hard, and I do mean hard, body. It might as well have been the hulk but I see his hands and they sure aren't green.

I'm met with dark blue eyes and a smile that literally has slayed hundreds of hearts for sure. I squint my eyes when realization dawns on me, he was one of the guys who was with the beautiful being I saw earlier. His hands grab my shoulders steadying me. "You okay there darling?" Not being able to speak I just nod my head. Raven is right behind me, she is also staring at the beautiful specimen in front of us, who still has his hands on me. Shrugging my shoulders I let out an apology, "I'm so sorry I was just trying to fix my dress." I yell over the music to which he smiles, "All good darling."

With that another mystery man is gone, lost in the crowd of sweaty bodies.

Raven is yelling in my ear, "Where did all of these gorgeous men come from?!" I honestly don't know.

I'm soon led to the dance floor again, this time the DJ is playing Satisfaction, the crowd going wild. The walls are vibrating so hard that I can literally feel it in my chest, I thought for a second I was having a heart attack. That's how crazy loud the bass is. All of these throwback jams really making this night memorable. I'm lost in thought jumping up and down, throwing my arms up really feeling the music. But the music isn't all I'm feeling, deep down I feel a strong presence, a spark if you will, that's when I notice a hand on my waist.

I freeze not knowing what to do, or what to feel, or what to say. Snapping out of it I realize, who the hell is touching me? Quickly turning around I'm met with yet another surprise today. Its like staring into Willy Wonka's chocolate river. His eyes are just so brown that they actually look like melted chocolate! Usually in the sun is where you can really tell the color but it's like he has his own sun.

Taking a step back his hand drops from my waist, immediately missing the feeling. He looks at me, I mean really looks at me, which sent me into panic mode. Looking down rubbing my hands together I finally hear him, "I really couldn't stop myself from coming over here but you really caught my attention."

Gulp. How the hell do I respond?!

"Oh. Umm. T-Thank you. I guess?" Was that really the best I could do?

He leans down so close to my ear, tickling me but now is not the time to laugh, "You really are immaculate, what's your name?"

"Allura."

I feel someone pull my hand from behind me , I turn around seeing Raven there. The smirk on her face makes me roll my eyes on a laugh, I hear her yell over the music, "I'll go look for Nora now!" Nodding my head I turn my attention back to the beauty in front of me. I don't know where I find the strength to ask but I do anyway, "What's your name?"
