Hesitation was written all over her face as she looked at
the user who called her.
It was Oddie.
A sigh escaped her lips. What is on with this guy? As
she swipes and answers the call, laughter immediately erupted
from the other side.
"Why are you laughing?" she asked.
"Are you scared?" Oddie asked.
"Scared of what?" she asked in return.
"Oh come on, you thought that dress you were wearing
was from someone else."
"So, it was really you?" Emmie raised one of her
eyebrows, annoyed by his joke. "Why did you deny it earlier?"
"I'm sorry, if I scared you." Oddie's voice became
serious.
"Please next times don't do that, it'll freak me out," she
uttered.
"Promise, I won't do it again," he responded. "Are you
ready? Should I come to pick you up?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm ready," she replied. She looked at herself in the
mirror again before twirling in enthusiasm. Will he like it?
"Alright, I'm coming in two minutes," he said before
ending the call.
It was a good thing that she made an extra effort and
bought two more pairs of footwear in exchange for the one she's
wearing. Emmie let out a thin smile before putting on her black
sandals. It suits her dress perfectly.
As she waited for Oddie to come and pick her up, she
decided to scroll all over her Facebook account not until a friend
request popped up from out of nowhere. It came from a
username named My Senorita. Upon her hint of curiosity, she
decided to check his profile out. It had little information about
him and the only distinguishing feature was a profile picture of a
hammerhead car.
Emmie didn't know what drew her in, for her to accept
instead of delete or ignore. She was full of curiosity that she let it
just like that.
After a while, she came back to scrolling all over her
timeline when she received a message request. As she was about
to check it out, she heard a knock coming from the door.
Emmie made her way towards the entrance, only to
reveal the siblings, eyeing her from head to toe.
"Let's go," Oddette said; excitement was written all over
her face. Her head then turned to look at her best friend's brother.
He was obviously eyeing her more, especially about the cleavage
part. A chuckle secretly escaped her lips.
They walked side by side until they reached their
destination. It was a five minute walk from her room towards the
gaping area with people gathering and mingling with each other.
The DJ's voice echoed throughout the spacious area
mixed with the loud music engulfing the area. It was quite
astonishing.
As they made their way towards their spot, they found
the couple; Miranda and Alfred dancing near the bonfire. They
had such wide smiles on their faces as they moved to the tune of
the music. Oddette followed them and chased towards the middle
while Oddie on the other hand, made his way towards her side.
"I was not mistaken when I chose that dress for you. You
look so alluring, babe," he whispered. She could feel his breathe
across her ear, tickling the pit of her stomach. "Although... I
prefer to party in our own room and dance towards the rhythmic
of our own bodies," he added, teasingly.
Instead of joining their friends who were ready to pound
towards the sound of the loud music, the two of them decided to
take a table and wait there. They were only drinking glasses of
cocktails when they found their three companions approaching
them.
"I want to get more drinks," Oddette said. She wiped off
the sweat forming at her forehead as a gaping smile crossed her
lips. The couple and Oddie chose to take a red wine for their
food and how they enjoyed the delicious meal in front of them.
"Can you please come with me, Emmie?" she asked.
Since the two of them decided to take more drinks on
their table, they made their way towards the counter. There were
a lot of people partying that while they were on their way back to
their place, she could hear a voice speaking from behind her.
"You have such an alluring beauty." Those words gave
her shiver down her spine as Emmie felt it was for her to hear.
Her heart started beating fast, seconds of thoughts ran towards
her head. Who is it?
When she decided to turn around and face the person,
the man already turned his gaze away from her.
"I didn't know that this beautiful lady was snobbish," the
voice added. Confusion was written all over her face but the
thought of being hit at such a crowded place was more.
Emmie only noticed his broad strong shoulders wearing
a striped blue shirt. It looked like he was almost the same height
as Oddie but nevertheless, she shook her head.
"Hey are you alright? What are you looking for?" It's
Oddette voice that's distracted her from looking at the back of
the man. She turned to her friend who was holding two glasses
of cocktail drinks.
"It's nothing," she responded. She put up some
barbeques on her plate followed by chicken before going back to
their table.
Upon reaching their place, Emmie's eyes immediately
landed towards where Oddie would sit. He was not there.
Her eyes roamed the area, only to spot him dancing with
a random woman on the sand. Their bodies were almost rubbing,
the woman's hand embracing his nape while he would travel his
hands towards her waist. She squinted her eyes out of anger
while blood rushed through her head and a fast pounding heart.
In no time, she witnessed the two of them kissing. What
the hell is going on?
