43. The party is just starting

ANNA

My entire evening has been painfully tiring and the only thing I wanted right now was for the party to be over so that I can go home and get some rest. No matter what the occasion was, I just couldn't bring myself to get used to parties and I'm always quick to get tired and bored of it.

I already informed Alice that I wanted to go home already because I was feeling tired but she wouldn't let me go because according to her, she was yet to give me her gift and it made me wonder whose idea the after-party was.

I have been trying very hard to avoid Alejandro's eyes but sometimes, I end up letting my guard down and our eyes would suddenly meet and I'd get so caught up in staring that I wouldn't even realise for the first few seconds.

It was almost as though he had been staring at me all through the evening because every time I happened to look in his direction, our eyes would immediately meet and like a magnetic attraction, I'm instantly pulled toward him.

"Aren't you having fun?
