Part 1 (mini series)
It all started with one touch. That's all that it took. One touch that would change everything we thought we knew, even ourselves.
Flashback
"y/n!" I look down my window as I see my best friend Breanna, in her car, waiting for me
Breanna is basically my only friend. The only friend I willingly interact with I mean. She's also my only friend because she's the only person I can tolerate. We've been friends since high school, so at this point, I'm used to having her around, but I'm grateful to have her in my life, although she sometimes makes me do things I don't want to do
Like right now actually. She heard someone is having a party and since she knows everybody, she's always invited to those types of things. And naturally, when she is invited, so am I, despite if I want to or not
"Come on!!" I hear her honk the horn and I sigh to myself
"Persistent and impatient" I say as I place myself in front of my mirror, taking one last look at my appearance before grabbing my purse and walking out to the car after locking the house me and Breanna share together
"Ready for a good time??" She asked me, excitement visible in her voice
I plaster a fake smile on my face, "Oh yeah"
Breanna turns up the volume on the radio as she starts to speed off
*At the party*
I sigh, getting myself prepared as I hear the loud music from at least couple of miles away
'And here we go' I thought to myself
Once we found a place to park, Breanna and I walk up to the lawn where at least a dozen people are drinking and dancing on the lawn as the music is playing loud everywhere
"Now this is my kind of party", Breanna smirks as we walk inside, seeing a huge crowd of people, none were sitting down, but either dancing, drinking or conversing. I start looking for a place where I can be by myself once Breanna would leave to go do her thing, which I didn't mind. This is what would happen whenever I would go out with her, and she doesn't mind either because she knows I could have easily stayed at home, which is what I prefer but I still go out to keep Breanna happy and she knows it.
"Wow, I've already noticed some cute guys, and I've also noticed that some guys keep looking at you", I feel her nudge me with her elbow, teasing me
I playfully roll my eyes, "Yeah okay. Just go, I know you're just dying to" I say as I softly start to push her away
"Well I can't disagree with that, but I expect you to at least-" she then becomes silent as a new song starts to play which causes her to turn around to face me in surprise
"y/n, this is my song! It's a sign from the universe, we are meant to go on that dance floor and to have a good time" she finishes
"I'm sorry, did you say 'we'?" I ask, slightly confused
"Uh yes I did. Come dance with me", she said simply, as she started to pull me toward the crowd
"I don't want to dance Bre" I pleaded with her as she still was able to drag me to the crowd
"Bre please, I do not want dance!" I yell over the music but Breanna squints her eyes, I guess she couldn't hear me
Before I could repeat myself, Breanna speaks, "Wait here, I will be right back!!", and before I can even protest, she's gone
'Now what am I really going to do?' I ask myself as I stand awkwardly in the middle of the dance floor, or at least it seems that way with everyone's eyes on me
Why is everyone looking me like that?
My mind starts to panic as I start to panic, not knowing what to do
Luckily to my surprise, Breanna reappears with two red cups in her hand, with a grin on her face
I look at her, "What is that? Where did you go? I looked like an idiot standing by myself!" I lean in and whisper yell into her ear
"Sorry, I was just grabbing us drinks" she stated, now offering me one of the cups
"I don't really want to drink right now, thanks" I say, avoiding her still offering arm
"Maybe you don't want it, but you sure do need it. y/n come on, it's Friday night, let's just have a good time for old time's sake" she pleads
I sigh to myself. I have noticed I have been a little grumpy lately. Ever since I broke up with my boyfriend Garrett, I've had the tendency of keeping to myself, avoiding any kind of parties or gatherings, basically I've started to become anti-social
I look at Breanna who has a smile on her face, and she re-offers the drink again and this time to my surprise, I grabbed it and took a big gulp
"Woohoo, the old y/n is finally back" Breanna says excitedly, making me smile in return and take another gulp of the alcohol
'No going back now' I think to myself as I continue to drink
*An hour later*
I'm dancing with Breanna with a drink in my hand, having an actual good time
"I can't believe how much fun I'm having" I say as we continue to dance
"I know you would once you'd let go. Has this finally made you realize you should always listen to me?" she asks with a smirk and I roll my eyes in return
"Not exactly. It's made me realize how relentless you are though" I jokingly say as me and her laugh
I almost lose my balance as I take a step backward and then I feel myself bump into something
I turn around to find it was actually a someone, not something.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see yo-" I say but then become silent when the person turns around and I find myself in awe when we make eye contact
His green eyes were almost hypnotic and the curious scar on his eyebrow drew me more into his eyes
I look down, clearing my throat, realizing I was starting to stare
"Hi" he says which makes me look back up, I didn't even notice he was quiet until now
He offers his hand, still not breaking eye contact
I started to feel a light pink on my cheeks, I hoped he wouldn't see it since it's partially dim in the house
Once my hand touches his, I felt something
It felt as if we shocked each other but even I know this felt different from just electricity
But what are the chances that a stranger, whose name I don't even know, is making me feel this way?
