THE PARTY
It was 8pm and Angelina was already dressed in her emerald green sequin dress with her waist length hair curled at end and the exquisite green eyeshadow shining in the light. She was looking otherworldly gorgeous. She went through the front door of her house and entered her father's car. A driver was already there in the car.
It took around thirty minutes to reach the club. Selena and her other college friend greeted her with their best compliments. But something caught Angelina's eyes, it was a beautiful man dressed in an sultry black shirt and blue jeans sitting alone in a corner drinking something. Angelina heart skipped a beat on seeing him, he was so dreamy. She has never felt like this for anyone. When she inquired about him, she found out his name is Charlie and he is Selena's friend. She wanted to ask Selena, is Charlie single but Selena was already on the stage preparing to cut her cake.
Angelina joined Selena on stage in her birthday celebration and then sang a special song for her friend. But Angelina couldn't keep her eyes off Charlie. After some songs and few words, all people started dancing on the dance floor. While dancing too, Angelina can't stop looking at Charlie, who was dancing with Selena. His moves were so smooth and handsome just like him.
Now he was coming towards her. She could believe her eyes. She tried to keep calm but a weird smile spread across her face when he said 'Hi!' in her ear as the music was to loud to talk normally. She could feel his breath on her cheeks. She felt weak in knees and felt like falling. But somehow managed composure and replied back.
"Would like to have a drink with me" Charlie said. Angelina obliged eagerly.
"I am from Britain" he told, Angelina find it a bit weird as he has the perfect American accent. But who cares, she was happy to be talking to him. "Oh! I like Brits" she said. They talked about their colleges a bit. Charlie told her that he is an engineering student. After sometime, Charlie said "The music is a bit too loud, I am feeling a bit suffocated. I am going out just for a minute." "Same with me, Can I accompany you?" Angelina asked. "Sure" Charlie agreed.
It felt like a dream. Standing in middle of the night alone with him. Angelina never believed in love at first sight but she knew this was it. She has fallen in love with the man standing in front of him and wanted to spent her rest of life with him. Whole life, seemed a bit far fetched, she thought later. Angelina thought she should not just fall for looks and started asking some intellectual questions to Charlie. But his witty replies made Angelina more and more weak in knees. They decided to take a small walk down the road. It was a lonely road with trees lining both sides. It was cold at this time of night but Angelina didn't cared as she was feeling really hot with Charlie next to him. "Umm, there's something on your face" Charlie said to her. "Let me remove it for you" Charlie took out his handkerchief from his pocket and brought it near Angelina's nose. She thought he smelled so good. But something was happening to her, as if the ground below her feet was dissolving, as if the sky above her was falling. The handsome man in front of him was becoming dimmer. "What was there in your handkerchief?" She shouted before blacking out.
