Chapter Two - A Few Days Ago
"You seem to be enjoying yourself, Emma," Britney said. Her confusion somehow amused me.
"So much for 'I am not a person who likes to party', eh?" my other friend, Brendan, said by my right side.
"As long as I have you guys by my side, I can party for a whole week!". I heard them both crack up into laughter.
"What?...".
"It is just that I can't see you party for a few hours, let alone a whole week," Brendan replied, my then turned my attention to Britney, who is chucking at his remark. I feel slight anger causing me to roll my eyes at them.
"Yeah... Cuz you will be too busy making up a new theory... Einstein..." I fired back, I ended my sentence with a smirk, since he is dressed up as Einstein.
I saw him roll his eyes back at me before letting out a chuckle.
"Em?" I heard Britney's voice call out my name before she tapped me. I can tell that she saw something that did not seem right.
"Yeah?"
"Is... Is that him?... The guy you told me about?" she asked me, pointing through a gap, as it led to the other side of the room.
I turned around and looked at where Britney had pointed, it did not take long before I spotted him. I became confused, but on top of that, I also become worried.
"Yes..." I answered as I can felt goosebumps as they soared through my body, like some kind of a wildfire.
"Is... Is he stalking us?..." I moved back towards Britney and Brendan, not taking my eyes off him, as he does the same.
"Maybe he just likes your outfit... Besides, you are dressed up as a ridiculously sexy nurse" Brendan suggested.
"I think we can do without the 'ridiculously'..." I corrected him, as I still maintained eye contact with this stranger who still kept his frightening gaze on me.
He gave me another smirk before he looked away and walked off, out of my sight.
"That was strange..." Britney said.
"But you must admit, he does look pretty hot, " Brendan voiced, his statement caused us both to look at him.
It caused me to raise my eyebrow at him. I mean, he did have a point, he does look... Hot... But it is all overshadowed by the frightening feeling he gives me whenever he looks at me.
"And here I thought that Dean was enough, I guess not."
"Britney... You gotta always be on the lookout..." Brendan replied before he added, "always have a spare toy..." we both laughed before we continued dancing.
Suddenly the song changed. Britney Spears, Toxic comes on.
"How ironic, we have our own Britney Spears right here," I say, as I wrapped my arm around Britney who is literally dressed up into Britney Spears.
We all laughed.
"With the taste of your lips, I am on a run... You're toxic, I'm slipping under..." my friends and I sang along with the crowd as the disco lights are the only things that lit up the room and its white, plane walls, which are also stained with food...
When the song finished, all three of us take a breather before we all went to refill of our drinks. It took us a few steps before we reached the only minibar.
"Same drinks? Or should we switch them up?" Brendan asked us, but we gave him that look of denial.
"We want to go home and go straight to bed, not hover over the toilet, waiting for that urge to throw up" Britney replied and I could not agree more, besides, I HATE the sight vomit, let alone vomiting itself.
"I guess it is only me then..." Brendan said before he grabbed a bottle of whiskey, I stopped paying attention to him as it was now my turn to get a refill. I decided to step it down and get a simple beverage, apple juice. I was surprised to find a few bottles of apple juice, nevermind the one in my hand.
I pour myself some the sweet goodness before placing back the bottle. I looked up, that was when I spot him, again, close by where Britney, Brendan and myself were standing. He seemed to be talking to someone. Suddenly his eyes shifted to me for a second or two, before giving me a smirk and returning to the conversation between him and the person in from of him.
"Him again..." Britney said, causing me to snap back to reality after my intense staring session.
"At least the guy is showing interest in us, plus he is hot... So let's not complain, just yet, and let's enjoy the view." Brendan said. I find it hard to say, but I agreed with him... A hot guy that showed interest in us, or more specifically me, is a pretty big deal. It felt as if more eyes looked upon me.
"I mean... He is kinda hot..." Britney said before biting her to bit her lip, meaning that she likes what she sees.
Moments later, he laughs, showing off the most beautiful smile I have ever seen...
"Holy..." Brendan mutters. I am the same, my jaw is slightly dropped as I look at this frightening handsome human. I look over to Britney who has her jaw dropped too.
"Fucking hell..." she muttered under her breath. I froze when I heard what she said. I rarely EVER hear her curse, so I am now also taken back by the words she just spat out.
He, once again, gave his attention to me, along with that he gave me a wink and a smirk. I give him a small smile back with a wave, trying not to let my nervousness peak to the surface.
His eyes remained on mine, seconds pass before he signs with his left hand for me to go to him.
"Is... Is he..." I begin.
"I think he is... Oh boy!" Brendan whispers to me.
"We will be right here, now go to him... Acquaint each other" Britney tried to calm me down, but it is not working! On top of that, she pushes me lightly forward.
"Holy crap.". I think to myself what might happen once I have reached his proximity, before making any movement towards him, him and his big smirk.
