JUST YOU & ME

Chapter 5

Night Like This...

NOLAN'S POV 

The party was kind of cool. Music was not that bad as I had assumed it to be. People were wearing formal attire and talking shit that I couldn't get. After some polite hellos to Dad's friends, I headed towards the bar for some drinks.

While drinking ,I simply looked around. It would be actually fun if Jess would be with me now. She would have mimicked some dudes here. God I am really missing her company. I still remember our first meet just like it was yesterday. I was at Dad's friends' wedding. My mom said,"Nolan, dear go dance. There are lot of beautiful little girls here. "

"Mom , I don't want to dance", I whined.

"Sweetie,look around everyone is dancing .Go pick your partner and ask her politely. Go go.." Saying that she pushed me forward.

I glanced around . I looked at a girl who was wearing a light pink dress with a red bow tied near her waist. She was smiling and staring at the wedding couple dancing. She seemed so engrossed staring at them , I couldn't help but smile. When I walked upto her, she looked at me and smiled. I smiled back at those pretty brown eyes. 

" Umm....Hi I am Nolan.Will you dance with me because my Mom wants me to dance with a beautiful girl. "  

She smiled, " Yes ! I would love to ." We danced all night. She was of same age and was a nice girl ; we instantly became friends. It didn't take a long time from friends to bestfriends forever. Since that night we have been inseparable.She has been my partner in crime and bestfriend since we were just 7 .

"Agh! These parties suck. One coke please " A sexy voice said. It drove me out of my thoughts. And I looked at the owner of that sexy voice. Man she was hot.

"Hello" she waved her hands in front of me and sighed.

"One damn coke. Is it that difficult " she sounded irirtated .Why me? Oh no..She thinks I am a bartender...Wooh she is nuts. But a sexy nut for sure. Who can compare me to a bartender. Come on man. I face palmed and replied.

"Beautiful, I am not what you think . I am..."

She interrupted by saying " A lazy...a very lazy bartender. I can fire you. I am Tanya Adams . Daughter of William Adams. Got it."

"Mam here you go" the bartender appeared from behind and gave away our orders. He mouthed sorry. I just nodded. Tanya looked to and fro at me and then the bartender and then realization struck her.

"I am sorry . I am just so irritated that I took out everything on you. Apologies " she smiled.

"Apology accepted" I replied.

"So enjoying the party um..."

"Nolan...Nolan Smith. " I held out my hand.

"Oh! Nolan. Nice to meet you." she shaked my hand.

"And I suppose you must be Tanya Adams,  daughter of William Adams." I smirked .

" Umm....Thatz definitely me . So which school ? " she asked.

" Grant High .What about you? "

"Ditto." She grinned.

"And we haven't met before . How is that possible? "

" Hm...I been there only for two days. A newbie you know.."

"Okay, so do you like here? "

"Yeah!  I mean its good . I made two good friends already . Its different here unlike Xaviers. "
