SAVING ELLIOT: ONE SHOT COMPETITION

A/N: I wrote in third person so that I could get a bit of everyone’s point of view. Hope you like it! And sorry if i got someone's name wrong. I wrote this in a hurry.

Arthur Jensen looked at the girl across the club. She looked cute and he could already see himself hitting it off with her. He made his way towards her, squeezing in between too many bodies and trying to take a breath which did not consist of the rancid smell of sweat but he failed miserably.

When he finally was near her, he leaned in and screamed,” And here I thought that I could have had fun sitting at home. Thank God I showed up here.” He flashed her a lopsided grin and she returned it with a smile of her own.

“I’m Arthur,” he said and extended his hand for her to shake.

“Hi, I’m Gina,” she said and followed his action. “You aren’t from here are you?”

“No I live in Manchester,UK. Here on vacation,” Arthur said and started to shimmy on the dance floor along with the loud song that was playing.

Gina laughed and he found himself liking her laughter. He laughed along too and they both started dancing and exchanging tales when the music wasn’t deafening.

“……………And then both the Elliot’s ended up together. Like we hadn’t called it from the starting,” he finished off telling her the story of how crazy the two Elliot’s he knew were.

“Well good or else I had the mind of going and slapping them if they hadn’t. Took them long enough,” Gina scoffed.

“I know. So I was wondering if you would like to—“

And just as he was about to ask her if she wanted to ‘retire to bed’ for the night, she cut him off and screamed, “JOSH!” Then Gina went off and kissed the guy who was making his way in their direction.

And there went Arthur’s plans for the night.

Gina finally let go of ‘Josh’ and turned to Arthur. “Josh, this is Arthur. He lives in UK and is here on vacation. And Arthur, this is my boyfriend Josh,”

Josh turned to Arthur and slammed fists and said” Hey man. Nice to meet you.”

“Yeah,” Arthur smiled, “you too.”

He excused himself from the lovey dovey couple soon enough and made his way towards the exit of the club. When he was almost about to reach the door, someone grabbed his hand and turned him around.

“Hey, you’re leaving?” Violet asked.

“Yeah well I am not enjoying as much as I would have liked and it is getting pretty late so I’m heading back home,” he replied.

“What? The famous Arthur Jensen, charmer of the ladies, party animal and ultimate pranker is going home so soon?” Violet asked with an amused look.

“Well damn me if I’m not tired after my flight here, Vy. And if you hadn’t noticed I had been showing off my amazing dance moves for more than two hours now. My handsome figure needs some rest now or else I might look like a scary woman in the morning. You know more like how you look.”

“Ha ha, that was just hilarious,” Violet deadpanned.

“Oh that wasn’t a joke,” Arthur smirked. “Anyways I really am tired. So I better go,” he said and started to turn around when Violet stopped him again.

“Take my car then. I’ll catch a ride home with Kevin.”

“See in the morning,” Arthur saluted and marched off from there and towards the car in the parking lot.
