The Unwritten Rule : Of Life

Chapter 19 : Lucky me

With the windows down and gracefully driving to the venue of Aelicia's birthday party was seriously no joke .

In fact to be fair we had got lost twice and neither of is thought of using our phones built in GPS .

This is a waste of petrol /gas or whatever the hell people call it .

We both were so tired that we thought it would be better if we went back home and chilled and by the way that "we" was mostly me .

I was just so tired that I had to stop at a nearby mall just so I could buy flat shoes, which would have made life so much easier if I had thought of it back at home.

Looking at the time on her phone , Elowen muttered , 'We're an hour late .'

'That's wonderful news , they probably even cut the cake too ...' , I told Elowen in defeat while staring at the time on her phone.

'It would be nice if we had a gps or-'

'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US ', I cut Elowen off while literally face-palming.

'What do you mean ?', asked Elowen.

I sighed.
'Our phones have built in gps-thingys in them .', I stated and once again sighing.
I swear that I sound so stupid at times .

However , all we remember was the address because we were a bit to excited about the car we were driving and left the invitation back at home .

Where there's a will there's a way , I would suppose .
I had called my mom and told her about the tragic invitation incident .

Lucky me , we were still at the mall and other said to wait for ten minutes and she'd drop off the invitation because she was heading the same direction .

Elowen and I were listening to some random songs until I saw my little car enter in the parking lot .

I got out of the while Elowen was waiting in the car .
I walked over to the entrance of the mall that was where mother had parked the car .

I was still walking and I felt the stares that were on me for some unknown reason, so I brushed it off and continued walking to the car and saw my mom step out .

I reached the car and she handed the invitation to be and warned me not be careless again , and told me that I was lucky that she was heading this way .

But I knew luck had nothing to do with it because she would have brought it either way . I was grateful , so I thanked my mom and left in a hurry , still ignoring the stares of people.

I gave the invitation to Elowen and she typed in the address on the phone .
We took off straight to our destination and thank heavens , that we made it there in one piece or even at all .

Once we were there , we had realised that the venue for the party was one of the most famous hotels .
I parked the car in one of the vacant spots and we got off the car .
Elowen had taken out the gifts from the boot and I had locked the car after she was done .

We entered the building and made a beeline straight to the reception area.
The receptionist exchanged greetings with us .
We handed her the invitation and she pointed out the directions of the mini hall in the building.
Finding the mini hall was relatively easy as we had to take the elevator to reach the highest floor .
While we were inside the elevator going all the way up , I felt a bit light headed . I would like to think it was because motion sickness .

A little bell sound went of indicating that we were at the highest floor.
Don't you love high places ?

We got off the elevator and I literally paused for a breather .
I checked the time on my phone and not bad at all we were one and a half hours late .
Does it really matter ?
Yes and No .
Yes because I know Paris , Deo and Aelicia .
No because I don't know anyone else apart from the three people .

However , I took my gift bag from Elowen before opening the door to enter and all of a sudden the door springs open and a school full of children rush past us with some of their parents in tow .
The last person out the door was Aelicia .
I thought that she didn't notice us but she did and it looked as if her excitement doubled.

She came up to us and squealed, ' You finally made it !!'

We bent down to her height and hugged her . Elowen and I both said at the same time , 'Happy birthday Aelicia !!!'

We gave her the gifts that we bought for her and she was ecstatically happy .
She was so happy that she decided to open it right here at the door .

She basically tore open the gift bag that Elowen put her gift in .

And I told Elowen , 'This is why you don't staple the opening of the bag ...'

Elowen gave me a side glance and I blinked pretending not to see that .

It was all fun and games at door until I heard my name in the most deeply enticing way .

I looked in the direction of the voice , not that I didn't know who's voice it was but it was just that the way he says my name .
It makes me feel like the focus of attention, his attention and I feel an odd yet good type of warmth spreading in chest . My stomach instantaneously does this weird thing where you don't know if you have butterflies in your stomach or if it does somersaults .

My eyes met his and in return I said his name , to acknowledge him as well but I felt as if I said his name because I didn't know what to say to him or maybe it was to assure myself on some level that he is actually in front of me .

But of course , all of that which I felt and explained only lasted mere seconds before reality fully consumes you .

However , those mere seconds when his eyes were on me , almost made me feel weak in my knees .

Lucky me , that I am not the type of girl whose jaws are hanging open at the plain sight of him .

Lucky me , that I am not the type of girl to throw my panties of at the slight touches of his .

Lucky me , that I am not the type of girl who would melt when his lips are pressed against mine .

Lucky me , that I am not the type of girl who'd immediately press my body against his out of pure desperation.

Lucky me , that I am Me .

Hopefully just hopefully, I don't turn out to be unlucky...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucky Sarina indeed .

A girl who know her worth .

A girl who clearly doesn't what she's falling for or how hard she's falling .

Hopefully whatever she is feeling isn't necessarily bad .
