Chapter 4 The weekend

I get dressed up. Apply some makeup and off we go. Because Alice's office is in the fashion industry there are celebrities and everyone is dressed to perfection, with those fake smiles and laughs as if everyone here is having the best time of their life. Wish I could say the same. I grab a drink and soon Alice has left to mingle with the guests as their company is hosting the event. There isn't anyone to talk to really so I just walk around watching the scene from afar and exchanging those glasses.

I think the glasses of champagne I lost count to have started working their magic because when I decide to change my location and take a seat on the corner I bump to a suit

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" I didn't even see him there he just appeared out of nowhere. I stumble a bit and he catches me so I look at him and he is watching me. There isn't enough light on this corner and I don't get much but that smile, those eyes and that face is Gorgeous.

I loose my grip on the glass and it shatters on the floor. It's shattering has him letting me go. He watches the ground as I watch his moves. He suddenly scoops me up and lands me on the other side

"Don't want you falling or cutting yourself" he says and I'm so surprised by that his action I think my eyes were about to pop off

"You are very beautiful" the way those words come out of that mouth I just stare at him some more

"What?"

"I'll get someone to clean this up. Hate to be the cause of an incident" he kisses my hand and disappears into the crowd. After a few seconds someone comes to clean up the pieces of glass.

I decided i have had enough fun for one night and leave the party. Its cold outside and the stylist Alice didn't demand we carry coats. I look around the street there are no cabs and I soon find myself hungry. Across the street is a bar and grill and I decide to have a hamburger then go home. The place looks decent and it isn't crowded. I sit at the counter and order a burger and fries. As I wait for my order I decide to continue having a drink. The bar isn't crowded and there are like three people at the counter. The bartender engages me in small talk conversation before this blonde fellow takes a sit beside me at the counter.

He is good-looking and offers to buy me a drink. I decide I could flirt with him for a while before I go back to being alone in my apartment. He is funny and easy to talk to and I find myself having fun. The food comes and i dig in continuing throwing down those drinks as the conversation continues. I go to the bathroom and taking the distance lets me know I have had my limit of alcohol and it's time to leave.

When I return to the counter I called the bartender to hand me my bill so I can pay and leave. He gives me the bill but I can't find my purse and start looking around. Did I leave it in the bathroom? The blond offers to go look for it but he comes back without my purse. Now this is embarrassing. I feel even drunk than I did few minutes ago and I lost my purse with my phone in it.

The blond offers to pay the bills and takes me off the stool. I'm drunk but I haven't completely lost it and I don't like the way he's handling me or the way he tries to eagerly get me out of the bar.

"Stop it what are you doing?" I shout as I try to get away from him but he is too strong for me. I don't want to leave the bar with him

"I think the lady would appreciate letting her go" the voice stops both our struggles near the bar and we both turn to the voice. It's the guy from the party. But he has lost his tie and jacket and I can't help roaming the way he's shirt hugs his muscles and that's strong muscled chest and arms.mmh!

"Who the hell are you?"

" I'm a man who won't allow a lady to be mistreated"

"Are you a jealous ex or something? Because you never said she had a boyfriend"

"I think you should give the lady back her purse and let her go"

"come on man.....i...."

"Now!"

The blonde pushes me to him and runs off to the streets. The guy at the party wants to follow suit but I hold on to him so he doesn't go. I love how he feels in my arms. Smells like ocean and fresh air and his body is perfect. I hug him even tighter and I want to close my eyes and be lost in him.

"Hey are you okay?" He holds my chin and makes me look up at him. He is so tall and I tried to crane my neck so I can see his face. I think his eyes are gold and that gold shine so brightly so I smile at him. He shakes his head but can't help the smirk he gives as he helps me sit down on a chair.

"Let me get the car so I can take you home"

"What if you take advantage of me? I don't even know you" it is more like a statement than a question. I just want to watch his reaction

"Are you going to be ok for a few minutes?"

"I don't know it depends"

"Do you want me to call you a cab instead?" I'm trying to flirt with this man but he isn't taking the hint. Well...

"Why don't we just go get the car together then?" I ask the standing up as he holds me by my waist then immediately takes my hand and we leave the Bar crossing the street.

The valet brings the car over. He helps me inside, fastens my seat belt, closes the door then gets in his own side of the car. I watch The Streets passing by and I'm not sure what exactly happened but I think I must have fallen on a deep deep sleep.
