Never Leave Me

Chapter 3

  By the time I reach the mystery guy, Adrian had already given up on stopping me. While I was walking across the room towards him,  I couldn't stop thinking, What am I doing? Why is he staring at me? Why would he want to? But no matter what I thought I continued, because nothing could overcome the curiosity I had.

  "Hey, why are you staring at me?" I ask even though I know it's rude.

  "Did that seem like an invitation to come talk to me?" He responds, at first I think sarcastically but his voice and expression show sincerety.

  "Well, nobody looks at me, let alone stares for that long. What do you see that's so interesting?" I question.

  He replies, "Well, I see someone completely different from everyone else here."

  As I stop and think about what he says, I take my time to really see what he's all about. His hair is about ear length, and he has a black metal ring imbedded in his lip. He is wearing a black Nirvana shirt under a black slick jacket. Above his shirt collar I can see tattoos peeking out. His jeans are skinny and black, ending with a big pair of combat boots.

  "Done checking me out yet?" His voice interrupts my thoughts. I start coughing unconrollably at his remark.

  "Now what made you think I was checking you out?" I shot back at him, embarrased after I finally stopped my coughing fit.

  "Well, you were staring at my face, then your eyes slowly made their way down my body until you took it all in. Enjoy what you see?" He says with a smartass glint in his eye.

  "Hey! I see you've met Nick?" Adrian saves me from answering, while shocking me at the same time.

  As soon as she says it my heart drops. 

  "Nick? Nick, as in your boyfriend, Nick?" I ask.

  "Yes! I've been looking for him the whole party to introduce you two but I see you've already seemed to meet. What was that about earlier anyway? Where were you going?" She starts asking about why I left earlier.

  "Oh, I just wanted to socialize. You know, meet new people. Lookit how that turned out..." I gesture to Nick.

  Great. One guy that actually pays attention to me is taken, by my best friend, and happens to be a jerk.

  "I'm gonna get something to drink, you want anything, baby?" She asks Nick.

  "No. I'm not thirsty." He rudely responds to prove my point.

  As soon as Adrian leaves I start tellig him off.

  "How could you? You flirt with me while you're taken, by my best friend?!" I snap.

  "You think I was flirting with you? I was merely being friendly. I'm sorry if I led you on to think that I could take an intrest in you," he says with a small smile. I'm still trying to decipher whether the smile is genuine or not. I just go with what fits his words.

  "Oh, c'mon, you don't deserve her. She's better than you, you jerk" I spit back at him. Before I let him get deeper under my skin, I turn away but stop when he grabs my arm.

  "Hey, I'm sorry." He says almost too quiet for me to hear.

  "What was that?" I ask, my curiosity getting the better of me.

  "I said, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I don't know how to talk to sensitive girls that can't take a joke." He says with a smirk.

  I groan and jerk my arm out of his hand and walk away.

  How did I let him under my skin so easily? I've met worse people and they've never affected me. What's different this time? I think to myself while making my way to Adrian's room.

  I call her phone to tell her that we need to talk when I hear her ringtone in the bedroom and groan again.

  "Really, she takes her phone everywhere with her, now she decides to leave it alone?" I sigh in frustration.

  As if by magic, Adrian shows up to grab her phone when she sees me in her room.

  "Hey, is everything okay?" She asks after she notices my expression.

  "Not really. We need to talk. About Nick."

  My face falls when I see the furious expression on her face.
