He Completed Me

Chapter 3

     I left and I started looking for a studio apartment. Thank God! I found one that I actually liked.
It has two bedrooms and a fireplace, a small one, but it makes the living room feel cozy. Plus, I always liked fireplaces. I knew this was the place for me, and I was eager to sign the lease. I'm really surprised I could even afford it.

     I moved in, not with a lot of stuff, and I was finishing up unpacking until Chloe called me, "Hey, we should go to the club tomorrow."
"Yeah, I'm in. Just me and you?" I said.
"Yes! We'll have fun. I'll text you later."
     I have an interview on Thursday, and maybe going out will make me feel less nervous about it. I just really need the interview to go well, especially since I want to put my degree to use and support myself.

     In the morning, I woke up got my coffee and went to my classes. It was a lengthy 2-hour British Literature lecture. I will say it was interesting for the most part. After, he assigned us a 4-page essay on how early-medieval culture was back then, concerning the patriarchy. I always felt that my literature classes always feel like history classes. Either way, it was pretty easy. I got a really good start on it in time to go with Chloe to the club. Hopefully, I do not forget to do my works cited page after.

     When I got there, I went to the bar and ordered a martini for me and bourbon on the rocks for Chloe. I felt two hands on my shoulder, "Dang, CeCe!" Chloe said shaking me, "You have outdone yourself tonight."
"I feel pretty good. You look amazing too!" I cheered.
     The bartender sat our drinks in front of us, and gave me a wink. I shrugged him off and handed Chloe her drink.
" You remembered?" She said with surprise lighting up her face.
" Why wouldn't I?" I laughed to myself. She shined me a warm smile before she took a sip.
"We're not going to spend all night at the bar. Let's go dance!" and she drug me to the dance floor. 

     We started going off on the dance floor. I had my hands in my hair and I was really feeling the beat. I got a glimpse of Chloe dancing with some guy. But, I did not care; I kept dancing. I felt so free with the music, and I almost forgot where I was. The, I felt hands wrap around my waist and I felt a body behind me.

"Umm excuse me," he said, I felt his voice close to my ear, "I'm Damien. What's your name gorgeous?"

     I turned around to face him and see what he looks like. He had dark hair and cool green eyes. I felt my stomach flutter a bit. He notices that I'm checking him out and. Then, he had a god-awful smug look on his face; a smirk that he could not help because he was full of himself.
"Are you going to tell me your name?" he asked, the smirk widening.
"My name is Cecelia... Cece for short" I replied.He said my name under his breath
"CeCe," he said under his breath, "I like that."

"Why don't we get out of here Cece?" he asked while he pulled me closer to him, and gave me a once over.
I looked at him like he was crazy. That took my breath away more than the first time I saw his eyes.
"I would never go anywhere with an ass like you," I said, getting his hands away from me before I walked off. I told Chloe I'm going home, and she said, "Okay hun, make it back safe."
     I only nodded before briskly walking outside to the wind. I left in a cab and made my way back to my apartment.
     I still couldn't believe he would ask me that. Is it possible for a single person to possess that much gall? He wasn't the first, but I hope he'll be the last to approach me like that. It's so annoying.
     I took a hot shower to ease some of my frustration, put on my nightgown and quickly fell asleep. I have an interview at 10 so I have to wake up near 8 to get ready. It's 12:30 AM right now. Better get some sleep, I told myself.

If only I knew what tomorrow had in store for me.
