I entered the club and found our table. My boys and I were wearing black. Our usual style. Club was full of people, random girls which will end up in someone's bed tonight or drunk so they won't remember what happened last night.
"What would you like to drink, Darren?" - William asked. He was one of my friends. We were like a family, me and 7 of my boys. There was something in our lives connecting us.
"Just take a bottle of Jack or something." - I answered uninterested. I was busy looking around.
Our table was on the second floor, and stage was a floor under. I leaned on the fence and my sight followed every person standing and dancing.

Then my eyes caught her. I blinked few times to see better, and then I was sure that was her. She was here, in the same club as me. Coincidence, Rose? Black dress looked so good on her lean body. It was a bit shorter than most of other dresses, ending on the middle of her thighs. Straps on her shoulders were shining, made from some kind of diamonds. Not a real ones, but it looked good. Her blonde hair was long and straight. I haven't seen her like this before. She never wore straight hair and makeup. She looks like another person, older and hotter.
While looking at her, she turned and started watching people around here. Then her eyes laid on me. She seemed scared a bit, because I was staring. Maybe I shouldn't be this obvious, but I have to get closer.
I squeezed through people and started walking in direction of her table. Suddenly I bumped in her. Only if she knew that it was planned. Oh, dear Rose... Your brown, or should I say black eyes, are hiding so many emotions. You feel confident now, but I can feel your fear. Rose was standing in front of me, frozen like me. We were gazing our eyes.

Elizabeth showed besides me while I was staring at Rose. She was tall, but still shorter than me. That girl looked beautiful from the up close.
I met Rose, in person this time. Her hands were skinny, her nails were long and red.
Elizabeth asked me to come to their table, and that was the move I was planning for. While talking to Diego, Caroline and Elizabeth, I caught Rose looking at me, thinking about something. I'm interesting to her.

When I finished that little conversation with my old friends, I came to Rose. I had to get closer to her, she attracts me and I get a different feeling only by a thought of her.
"May I get you a drink?"- I asked, and handed her some mixed cocktail. Her ring on left hand was similar to mine. Golden, with a black stone. She got it from her parents, she said. Little did she know... her father Lucas is my old known friend. If I can call him "a friend". We have a long history. Rose knows nothing about it and I wish it stays like that.

I could see fear in her eyes. At the same time, I felt connection. She was studying every single part of me. Her bright red lips made me a bit nervous, like the thought of her neck and her blood.
I touched her hand, I couldn't stop it. My body had to be in touch with hers. My hand slowly moved to her waist, pulling her closer to myself. We were few inches apart, I felt her hair smells like ocean. She was special, for a reason.
I leaned in, our lips were so close that I almost kissed her. And then I felt someone hit me on the back.
"Hey you too! Having fun I see?" - Caroline was dancing. She was clearly drunk.
I moved away from Rose feeling her look on my face. She wanted me. I distanced myself from her with our eyes locked together. Then William came.
"Darren, I was looking for you everywhere. What were you-..." - he put his hand on my neck and shoulders. William then realized that Rose was standing in front of us, watching. He was surprised.
"That is Rose." - he said to my ear, then turned me so he was standing in front of me. "Bro, you found her."
"It's not that easy. She can't suspect anything yet. We will get there, soon." - I said and got lost in the crowd.

Six days, six more days before her 18th birthday. How can I get closer to you, Rose? You will be mine.
