MEET BRAWL
"Can't he see he's making me uncomfortable?. What's his deal?, I know I might possibly be at fault for staring at him but was it necessary he retaliated? why couldn't he just feign ignorance just like he had been doing to others who had been staring at him? I thought silently dropping the glass of water as my hiccups disappeared.
"Oh God, you'll ruin your make up if you continue to eat at this pace or worse, you'll choke yourself to death" Bianca complained using a tissue to wipe the corner of my mouth, she was treating me like some kind of baby and I had to grab the tissue from her before she'd fully switch to mommy mode.
"I can do that myself" I mumbled glancing at her before looking back at the culprit, he had been chuckling the whole time and had a mocking smirk on his face, he must think I am head over heels for him when only I had choked at his unexpected behavior. "Annoying jerk!"I mumbled to myself and I motioned my hand towards him in a way that told him to look away, he only chuckled the more and I cursed under my breath, rolling my eyes at him and looking away from him to the dance floor.
"Oh gosh.... he's so dreamy"Bianca squealed silently, she didn't seem to have caught the cold war that had just unfold between me and her fantasy prince.
"Yeah yeah, he's dreamy" I replied sarcastically, I couldn't dare to look in his direction again, I have not only ridiculed myself but I had possibly placed ideas into his head and since he lacks the tiniest bit of decency, he wouldn't figure out that what happened was nothing more than a lady caught off guard, now I can't eat my meal in peace after practically struggling through the whole day, "what a way to ruin my night!" my thoughts spontaneously rumble on in my head.
"Gosh she's so clingy" Bianca blurted obviously staring daggers at the lady beside her dream man.
"Why are you still drooling over him, when it's obvious he's taken?" I quizzed still looking towards the dance floor, trying to destroy any dreamy imagination she has of him because it's obvious already that he's just an annoying jerk who would take advantage of any girl just for his pleasure.
"Oh taken? he's not taken, that's Amanda..... his ex" Bianca said taking a sip of her drink for the first time that evening after spending almost an hour staring at her knight in shining armor.
"Huh his ex??" I quizzed my eyebrows danced in shock....."oh....he is even more indecent than I thought!" I exclaimed rolling my eyes and bianca sighed in frustration...it was becoming obvious to her that she was the only who seems to be enjoying the gathering.
"oh.... indecent....I don't think that's the word that befits him he's simply being benevolent and...." she trailed off before I cut her off
"I have to use the restroom" I said clutching onto my purse after taking one last gulp of water before I stood up abruptly from the hall...it was high time I left the room else I'd find myself puking at the continual eulogy bianca had dedicated to her charming prince.
As I manouvered my way away from the table,purposely avoiding any further contact with the cause of my present ordeal, I cautiously walked through the dancefloor across the hall counting the echos of my heels in my head hoping my impulsive reaction had not gotten any unnecessary attention.I spotted some group of ladies, giggling and mummuring to themselves walking of a door that indicated the ladies room, I made my way briskly to the room flashing them a warm smile as they muted momentarily to return the gesture. I entered the room and quickly walked towards the mirrors in the ladies room as the girl who seemed to be the last girl present there exited too. I noticed I had smudged my lipstick while trying to wipe my mouth earlier. I took out my lipstick from my purse and began to apply it on my lips and my mind unconsciously wandered back to what had happened earlier, and I couldn't help but get so engrossed with the thoughts, surprisingly I had more ease than I did when I was living the moment, his eyes were captivating and his smile was just warm and friendly, maybe he wasn't all that cocky and bad... I might have looked as hilarious as I sounded while choking he couldn't help but chuckle, now that I was willingly recalling what he looked like I could understand why bianca couldn't voluntarily take her eyes off him...he was ridiculously handsome....that I almost couldn't believe I had been in the same school with him.."how could I have missed something so jaw-dropping??" I internally quizzed myself but I was quick to mentally striked myself before I could go any further with my thoughts, "what sort of joke is this, seriously? HIM!!, I must be going crazy from all of today's stress that I'm getting delusional besides, I have Tim to think about, Tim means more to me than some disrespectful handsome maniac, by the way, what's so special about this guy anyways?" I thought as I hurriedly drop my lipstick into my purse in hopes of not getting caught up in another web of unnecessary fantasies, I walked towards the door trying to get my thoughts in order, and as I grabbed for the knob I hear a loud chatter from the crowd outside the ballroom, curious to figure out what was wrong, I opened the door taking a step out simultaneously, my head bumped into a hard wall I bounced back at the impact but my arms were grabbed by two large and warm palms, I heard the door shut right behind the figure, I looked up to stare at the obstruction.. behold my imagination was playing a joke on me again and a giggle escaped my lips.
"Wow great...I didn't realize I had such a vivid imagination" I chuckled staring at the dark eyes that stared curiously back. "hey listen you!, you better stop playing jokes on me, I have a Boyfriend!" I declared I better start confronting my delusions or else i wouldn't hear the last of it, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before I opened it, the warm hands on my arms released me and then turned towards the door, slightly opening it and spying carefully at whatever commotion was happening at the ballroom. I gasped as realization dawned on me, this wasn't my imagination, it was REAL!. Bryann Jones was standing right before me in the restroom guarding the door from perceived "intruders" and I did the only thing I could think of at the moment, I let out an impulsive scream, it was the only reasonable thing I could think of doing when the person who you have thought of few seconds ago appears when and where you had least expected.Bryann immediately shut the door close and pulled me into his long arms, one of his palm was over my mouth and his other hand wrapped protectively around my hip with his plam laid flat on my back,my heart raced violently as my eyes slowly looked up from my palm that was laid flat on his heaving chest to his cold icy eyes, my purse dropped from my other hand that was hanging freely in the air, my eyes were lost in his dark and intense gaze which stared worriedly at me, my heart was beating violently, and I could feel his warm breath on my face as he towered above me, his cologne had filled my nostrils and for a split second the world stood still, my ever racing and calculative thoughts had ceased to flow..I was stunned!.
