"Gurl this place is huge, do you have any idea how many people are going to be here?" Latifa looked anywhere and everywhere.
It's true, the place was luxurious, no wonder it's famous in New York. Stand up cocktail tables were spread around a space that seemed like a dance floor. The theme color of the party was obvious. Everything was white and gold, from the ceiling to the chandelier to the floor and everything on it.
Scarlett squealed from far away. As we made our way to her I felt an intense gaze at the back of my head. I turned around my head to see where it was coming from but didn't made it obvious.
"HIII!" a beaming Scarlett took my attention. She looked amazing.
"You really are the star of this party girl." Latifa hugged her as she whistled.
I smiled "Indeed"
"What are you guys talking about? I swear I heard necks crack as soon as you came in. You guys look magnificent." She said. "I like your mask." She pointed at my mask.
"Thank you, thank you." I faked bowed like a princess and we busted with laughter.
"It was Sabrinna's idea but it's a secret. I don't want to everyone to know that she knows better about fashion than me." I said pretending to whisper knowing well that everyone could hear. That earned me a slap from the victim.
Scarlett chuckled and pointed behind us. "There is my brother let's go and greet him."
We all turned around to see Keith with three other guys. Probably his friend, one of them though was my brother. I can recognize him from a mile away but he maybe won't know who I am as he do not usually see me this glam.
One in black suit was intimidating. With all in black his bright blue eyes shined as our eyes met. The person staring at me the whole time was him apparently. "Found your Romeo?" Latifa bombed her shoulder mine.
I rolled my eyes, this girl is crazy. I guess I'm stating the obvious.
"No, I think he got lost somewhere." I sighed dramatically.
"I think they already found you."
I looked at her and narrowed my eyes "they?"
"You got yourself two Romeos." She chuckled and gestured her head a guy wearing blue suit and black suit guy, both staring at me. The blue guy had a friendly gaze while the other was expressionless.
We walked towards them while I tried to avoid his eyes but when I got the courage to glance at him, he was gone.
What the.
Where is he? Is that Amir? But why would Amir be here? He doesnt seem like a party guy.
"Don't fall for them, Layla. One Romeo brings tragedy, I can't imagine what what two of them can do." Sabrinna said with a serious face which almost made me laugh.
Man, what is wrong with my friends.
"Gurl, at least they died together." Latifa countered back.
"Guys stop, I'm not falling for anyone today so don't worry."
We got close to the guys and we all said in unsion "Happy birthday!"
"Thankyah." Keith smirked.
"Guess who we are." My brother amused.
"Shut up Khaled anyone can recognize that annoying voice of yours." I said and he gasped.
"I see you forgot your manners at home, why don't you go back and get it."
I smirked "Now, where is the fun in that?"
I missed our bickering so much. I went up to him and hugged him as he did the same.
"Oyy I forgot to give the DJ my playlist, I'll be right back." Scarlett said.
"Wait I'll go with you." Latifa called after and they faded away into the crowd.
Sabrinna went to the restroom and Keith and Khaled went to check something leaving me and the blue guy alone.
I looked at him carefully, I've seen those eyes before. It looks like...
"Don't say you can't recognize me." He laughed deep throated. Right, Lucas. His voice is unique so I can not miss it.
"Yeah right, I'm not that stupid." I smirked. Okay I lied, I'm stupid.
He howled with laughter "you know you just said that out loud."
"Damn my big mouth." I scowled but joined him nonetheless. While enjoying and laughing I felt a gaze on the back of my head.
I ignored it but I realized I shouldn't after I felt a grip wrapping around my wrist.
I yelped and faced the person with wide eyes. It turned out to be the black suit guy.
What does he want? Should I start to panick now? Shocked I found my self being dragged to the dance floor.
Right then All of me by John Legend started to burst from speakers and everyone got on dance floor with partners.
When his hands landed on my waist I came crashing back to reality. I tried to pull away but failed when the grip tightened and he smirked which made me paused.
Wait a minute, I know that smirk from somewhere and that mischievous blue eyes.
I gasped "Amir?!" So it was Amir all along.
"Let me go." I hissed but his smirk showed that he wasn't affected by it. "Amir I'm not kidding."
He pulled me closer to his chest and whispered in my ear. My breath hitched and my stomach started to feel strange. "Don't make a scene lion, you will ruin the party for you bestie. Look how glad she is."
My eyes snapped to Scarlett only to found out she's dancing with her brother beaming.
That's right I should not ruin it for them. I sighed, casually laid my hands around his neck as he stiffened but his smirk didn't weaver.
This is going to be a long night.
I'm sorry for being late and for the short chapter. I have a tight schedule for my internship at a hospital so that makes me unable to update every week although I'll try my best to do so.
