CHAPTER THREE Leaving the Party too soon

******

The party was mixed with the smell of strong alcoholic drinks with few non-alcoholic ones that were going to be used only as mixtures and yes, the slight stench of sweat couldn't be excused from the crowd gathered and basically as should be expected, there was a lot of blasting music, noise, smoking and games going on in the background.

In the middle of the room was a large table placed where some people were playing games, Nathasha figured that they were doing the truth or dare game and far off, people crowded around a set of settees talking or probably doing whatever.

Another table was set up on the opposite end of the room where a bunch of people played beer pong. Nathasha was excited, she had never really played it before and had promised herself that it was going to be one of those things she would try out to mark as done on her bucket list.

" Baby!" She heard Frank call as he noticed the girls walk into the large Roseing room. He left his friends and went over to take his sweetheart in his embrace.

" Frank!" She calls excitedly as she rushes over to meet him, throwing herself into her boyfriend's open arms. She hugged him tightly like a woman whose lover had just returned from the navy.

Frank let his arm travel down her tiny waist and curvy backside as he closed his eyes behind her to bask in her smell. She smelt like vanilla, and gave out a sort of fruity plus floral fragrance. He didn't want to let go.

" Hellooo!" Ava says clearing her throat in order to remind the two love birds that they were out in the public and should shorten their PDA.

Melanie was giggling at the two cutest couple, Rose just wanted to leave the whole scene and head back to her dorm.

" Hey girls!" Frank greeted the others when he finally let go of Nathasha. " It's nice to have you all here"

" Welcome" Justin one of his friends and ex-boyfriend of Ava greeted as he joined the group.

He was smiling at them all feeling like a good host coming to receive VVIPs into the party.

" Hey Ava!" Justin called at his former girlfriend who had broken up with him just three weeks ago.

"You look really hot tonight!" he said looking her over as he complimented her dressing but she only gave him a cold stare in return.

He still wondered till date what made her call it quits in their relationship but she only claimed that she wasn't feeling them anymore.

Ava was putting on a plain Navy blue, V-neck, fitted short dress that revealed her thighs and breasts. Her jet black shoulder length hair which was hanging freely by the right side of her neck with the slight smokey eye makeup she did made her dark eyes pop.

She turned her face away from Justin and glanced at Frank. She noticed that even he was checking her out too and this made her smile inwardly.

" ....So the party just started "

Frank says to them as he took Nathasha by the hand and led the girls to their table. They were served all sort of snacks and drinks and Frank was trying his best to make them feel as comfortable as ever.

" Isn't he sweet?" Melanie whispers to Rose who was sitting very akwardly close to her. Melanie only laughs at her friend's rigid behavior.

" Do any of you girls care for this baby?" Another one of the boys already at the table said lifting up a beer.

" We just started the beer pong." Justin was the one who spoke now. He was still staring at Ava but she didn't seem to be paying any attention to him neither was she interested in talking to him ever again.

" Queen Tasha?" Justin calls at Nathasha and pointed the beer at her while the boys cheered at the girls to join the fun. They called her 'Tasha' for short. Nathasha was more than excited to join although she was a bit nervous, she wouldn't want Frank to think that she couldn't handle drinking yet.

" I'll go first" Melanie said and Nathasha watched with shock as the ginger haired girl already stood up from the settee and had taken a ping pong ball already. She trusted her to never waste time in having the best time of her life when the opportunity came knocking. Melanie was very free spirited and carefree maybe it was because she was the oldest in the group though.

***********

As the game proceeds and everyone was busy in the act of having fun, the girls are getting a little tipsy and Rose's the only one who isn't drunk. She had gladly accepted her fate as being the designated driver for everyone and was to be at alert for the rest. Melanie especially was acting weird and was having a tipsy conversation with a cute guy that she just met at the party.

Ava was still drinking beer and was yelling at Justin who wasn't ready to leave her side anytime soon. Rose sat on the settee with her phone in hand, reading a novel, she preferred bring engrossed in a world of hers that wasn't reeking of alcohol, sweats and smoke.

Gosh! People were making out too.

' Where the hell was Nathasha?' she thought as she searched around the room for her. She felt relieved when she finally saw her in a corner with Frank, they were talking.

Ava was watching them also from where she stood and she could see Nathasha was laughing hard at the jokes Frank was cracking, he wasn't only handsome, dude also had a lot of humor and she liked funny guys.

*****

Frank stopped the joke he was making and stares deeply into Nathasha's bluish-grey eyes and her nose before settling on her small heart shaped lips, he leans over to take her lips in his. Pulling her close to him, he forgets everyone else in the room and just focuses on the beautiful girl in front of him who was slowly driving him crazy.

Minutes later, a loud shout can be heard from the entrance. The party was disrupted when two hefty men came into the room searching for no one else but Nathasha.

Sighting her in the arms of a guy, they walked up to them interrupting the moment much to Frank's dismay.

" What are you doing here Max?" Nathasha asked surprised that her father's bodyguard had walked into the party to ruin her night.

" How did you find me?"

" You need to come with us now!"

" Who the hell are they?" Frank asked. Everyone in the room was watching them now.

" erm...they are...my father's bodyguard" she says simply hoping that he would understand. Something must be wrong for them to have rushed down here.

Her dad had used the tracking device on her again. Gosh! She hated being watched over like a child.
