People I Don't Know

Saturday night

Saturday night is here, everyone was very excited about today's party, my friends mostly. Even I am a little excited maybe because I can see Luis, Erin and their friends there.

In the morning to my surprise I saw Mr Daniel, he made his way to visit his son on his birthday. In the mansion there was a big hall, tonight it's gonna be a party club. And I'm strictly going to avoid alcohol today.

I dressed up with that little red dress, mom gifted to me. I actually don't like to wear little tight dresses that drag everyone's attention towards me. This wasn't that little, not too short, not too tight, it is just the way I like, a little sparkly, transparent across the shoulders, neck and on hands.

A little touch of makeup, lipstick, few accessories and high heels. I'm done getting ready. I called Rachel and Tori, they are on their way, so I just sat down on the couch in my room waiting for them. And I totally forgot about Colin, I didn't even call him to know whether he's coming or not. To be honest, I'm seriously not interested in him today, I just wanted to enjoy my night with my girls looking at hot boys at the party rather than acting like I was committed to someone, so I didn't call him.

As soon as Tori and Rachel arrived at the mansion we crashed into the party, not waiting for everyone else. Maybe this was the greatest party I ever attended, loud music, full of Lazer lights, a huge crowd, great food and alcohol. Then I saw Luis, he looked special today and he looked happy. He was enjoying himself with his friends and he's actually surrounded by a lot of people.

Among them, I saw Erin smiling, he was wearing a tight black half-sleeved shirt and it was shining, but not as bright as his smile though. Today I don't know why but for me Erin looked hotter than Luis.

"Done checking out them?" I heard Tori asking, it made me chuckle.
"Don't worry we have the whole night?" she said and winked at me.

We both settled down on a soft couch, almost in the corner. Rachel went to bring drinks, soft drinks for me. Sam, Rob and John joined us with their girlfriends. We started talking and drinking. Rachel and Tori went to the dance floor to dance for a while and hoping to catch some hot guys there.

After a while, my boys' gang and their girlfriends were also going to the dance floor and started dancing and enjoying. I sat alone on the couch looking at them, giving a glance at Erin and Luis. Then Colin came towards me all of a sudden.

"Hey beautiful!" he said smiling and sat next to me.
Honestly today he looked totally different, with a white tight half sleeved shirt, blue jeans and gelled hair. He didn't put on his glasses today it made him look perfect. I smiled at him for his words, he called me beautiful.

"You looking great today," he said looking at my face and smiled.
It made me blush but I managed to say " Even you are looking great today" and I smiled looking away.
He moved closer to me and I started feeling hot, he tried to touch my hand and I let him take it. We sat there holding our hands for a while, talking and blushing, having our sweet time and I don't how this is going to end.

Maybe he will end up kissing me and now I won't deny it because I don't want to regret missing a kiss. He went to the bar to get some drinks for us. I sat alone waiting for him, and don't want my friends to disturb us now. I was looking at Colin at the bar counter, then I shifted my eyes towards Luis, he's having fun at the snooker table and then my eyes looked for Erin.

As I started looking for him, my eyes found him looking in my direction, for a second my heart skipped a beat and I quickly looked away. Did this really happened or it was just my imagination?? Maybe he was looking for someone else behind but there is a wall behind, no one was around me and I still can't believe it. Maybe he just glanced at me, I should check again.

Slowly I tried to look at him, and our eyes met, he was still glaring at me while taking a sip of his drink. For the first time I caught Erin looking at me and I can't explain how I'm feeling right now. The heat started to build on my cheeks and I don't know what to do, I just looked away.

After a minute Colin came back to me, he offered me a juice and I felt so awkward as I can still feel Erin eyes on me. While drinking my juice once again I looked at Erin, he's not looking at me now, he was talking with someone. He sat near the bar on a stool exactly the same way when I kissed him, he was shining in the blue laser lights, they are blinking on his face and suddenly he gave me a look and I looked away.

Is he checking me like the way I check him? Why he's staring? My train of thoughts started again...
"Neely??" I heard Colin and looked at him.
"I'm talking to you," he said with a low tone, he looked upset.
I didn't hear what he said, before I react Rachel and Tori came back from the dance floor, it made him more upset.
"You guys carry on, I'll catch you later Neely," he said while standing and left.

I ruined it, I made him upset concentrating more on looking at Erin than listening to Colin.

"What's wrong with him?? Why did he leave?" Tori questioned me throwing her hands into the air.
"I don't know," I said and pouted.
After ten minutes I decided to go back to my room.

"I'll leave now," I said and tried to get up from my seat.
" Nooo" Rachel pulled my hand and made me sit again.
"I'm tired guys, please let me go," I said and made a puppy face.
Rachel pushed me away, she's quite high.
"Drive home safely or call me before you leave and stop drinking," I said and walked out of the party hall.

As I walked out of the hall, I saw a staircase leading upstairs. It is a big mansion, till now I haven't seen all the places in the mansion so I want to check it out. It's dark and scary but I like adventures. I imagined myself as a girl in a horror movie and walked upstairs.

I went upstairs and it was so dark, a broad corridor leading towards a big hall and in dark, I walked inside the hall and it was a library. I hear my footsteps while walking and I walked to a big window where I can see the bright moon through the window.

In that gleaming moonlight for a minute I felt like a princess standing at a window in a Castle, the cool breeze made me feel cold, I turned around and started looking into the bookshelves to see what they have. I took an old book and started reading the labels facing the bookshelf. And suddenly I felt like I was hovered by someone from my back and turned around quickly.

When I turned around I saw a body hovering over me, as I'm short I need to lift my head and look up, seeing his black shirt I already know who was it but still I looked up at his face and was shocked. It was Erin, I can't believe myself and I widened my eyes, my jaw dropped in disbelieve. He stood still, locking me between his two hands and glaring at me with no expression. For a moment I didn't understand what's happening.

"Whaaa.. wha.. what are you doing??" Finally, I managed to speak out with my eyes frowned. He said nothing and kept looking at me.

"Where did you came from??" I asked in a low tone. Yet he didn't react and continued looking at me.

"What are you doing here?? Say something don't scare me," I said and looked down.

Now he's trying to lean on me, he brought his face close to mine, I closed my eyes with fear and I can feel his breath, it smelled like alcohol but still, I smell his deodorant. What he's trying to do?? What should I do??
"Why don't you push me away??" I heard him say. This was the first time I heard his voice and it was smooth.

I opened my eyes and looked at him, he's not smiling, he's just waiting for my reaction with a blind face. Did I really forget to push him away until he reminds me to push him? I am such a dumbass. And then I tried to push him but he didn't move an inch and he smirked at me.
"What??" I groaned, flinched my eyes and tried to push him again.

He moved back after seeing me struggle to remove his hands and still got his eyes on me. As he unlocked me I tried to walk away without looking at him. But he grabbed my hand, it made my heart tumble, with shock I widened my eyes and looked back at him.
