“Please, don’t tell Daniel anything,” Lindsey pleaded, shaking her head.
The fear in her eyes was like the one I’d seen her have when I confronted her about Sir Richards. She was quite hilarious and pathetic. It made it more amusing because she acted tough all the time and she kept accusing me that I was cheating on Liam with his own brother. Now that I’d proven her hypocrisy, she would probably stop coming for me now. Having daily banters with her was quite exhausting and this occurrence should teach her a lesson.
The homecoming was over and we felt enthusiastic for the afterparty in the club. We got our dresses changed, our makeup retouched, got rid of our heels and wore sneakers instead, and tied our hairs up to suit our outfits. After our long preparations which made the guys so impatient, Emma’s limo dropped us by the club and left once we reached our destination. We were now standing beside the road that was packed with cars as their horns dominated the vicinity because of the unwanted traffic. Standing on the pathway where random people were walking by and nearly bumping on us, we moved closer to the brick wall of the club and waited for the line to hopefully be shortened. Apparently, there were people lined up outside the club and I guess it would be jam-packed inside once we entered the place.
Emma filled the shot glass with the Cuervo, handing it towards me as I took it and drank the whole thing. It created a lining down my throat and the burning sensation left in my mouth was unbearable. Grabbing a lime from the plate, I squeezed it in my throat to ease the bitter taste. The heat in my stomach was caused by the tequila. It tasted amazing, but just a few shots could leave me feeling dizzy. I felt lightheaded, and my vision was swirling around as the loud music dominated our area. Emma was now dancing on her seat as Danny laughed at her. Tyler was throwing me glances, and he would gaze at me to hopefully catch me staring at him. Mason was squeezing himself to me as I continuously scooted over towards Amanda.
I was in my deep slumber, only to get startled by the piercing noise of my phone. Fluttering my eyes open and turning my head to my side, the ringtone rang in my ears, waking up my senses as I lifted my head to peer at the screen. As soon as I lifted my heavy head, it began to throb, as I gritted my teeth from the pain. I shut my eyes close again and winced in torment once my hangover dawned on me. Alongside the effect of the alcohol from last night was the continuous buzzing of my phone. So I reached for it on my nightstand as an unknown number flashed on the screen, making my eyes completely flew open. Who would call me early in the morning?
Tyler pulled up in the parking lot beside a fancy restaurant after the long ride that took almost forever. We filled the ride with casual conversations and I was starting to ease up in his company as my annoyance towards him slightly subsided. We talked mostly about schools and talked about our high school life. He talked to me about random facts about their school and just literally anything he could think of. I didn’t mind his blabber and found it quite cute because he was a talkative guy despite his stoic demeanor. During the ride, I was able to know him more and found out that he wasn’t really the guy Emma was making him seem like. He seemed rather laid-back and outgoing, someone you could hang around with for casual talk to occupy your time.
Tyler and I had finished our food. We had a few conversations while we were eating our meal and we had crossed that personal talk to see if we had things in common. But we had close to none, so I highly doubt I could pursue a relationship with him. Not that I was considering it an option, I just thought that I should give him a chance since he exerted effort though I told him I wasn’t interested.Grabbing the table napkin on my lap, I wiped the edges of my mouth and plopped the napkin beside my plate. The food was phenomenal and I enjoyed ea
He pulled up in front of our house just outside of our gate. I flitted my eyes towards Tyler and smiled gratefully. Heaving a sigh, I pursed my lips together before uttering, “Thanks for this day.”“No problem. Sorry for what happened to you a while ago. It must hurt to be put in the same shoes as yours,” he said with concern in his eyes.
I woke up the next morning, feeling the good energy radiating inside of me. This day was probably the most wonderful that I had because I slept last night not worrying about anything. It had been years since I’d experienced a sweet slumber and it felt amazing. My heart was lifted, my mood completely shifted, and I had so much anticipation for this day. It felt good having not to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. It was as if this was a new dawn and I got to live a different circumstance.It was Sunday and I was deciding if I should stay at hom
I stared at the door, caught-off guard by what happened. All that was in my head right now was ‘what happened?’. What happened to Danny that made him slam the door in anger. I started overthinking and I was jumping to conclusions.Peering through the glass pane beside the door, I saw Danny drove off, hitting the road as my paranoia hit me. I glanced at the dining area where all of the foods were laid and looked back at where Danny had left. And when I heard footsteps just behind me, I turned my back only to be greeted by Lindsey who was now running downstairs with her eyes drenched with tears and florid cheeks. Her face was contorted to a frown and her lips were trembling as she suppressed her sob
