80-Signs

I was wearing a simple blue, A–line dress that reached just above my knees and opted for matching blue pearl earrings. I straightened my hair and let them cascade down my back without any clips or scrunchie.

The party was arranged in a hotel and was in full swing. I went to the table where I spotted my other university fellows. Rayan was also sitting there and seemed to be on his best behavior.

The party was arranged in honor of the students who had gotten successful bidding.

“You are late! Mr. Deluca and Ms. Sarah have already left the party.” Rayan informed me and stood up to fetch me a drink.

I didn’t know why he was acting differently tonight. However, I took a sigh of relief when he told me about Justin and Sarah. I didn’t want to face the couple.

I engaged myself in small talks with the other fellows as they were already accompanied by dates except for me and Rayan. Gerald had to go out of town for meeting his mom who was admitted to a hospital.

“Walters! Interested to dance with me?” Rayan asked me while offering his hand. He might be creepy, but I could not reject the dance offer tonight when he was making efforts. I silently placed my hand in his and accompanied him to the dance floor.

“You have got a great figure.” I was taken aback when he remarked casually, “You sure deserve someone better than Gerald.”

“Rayan. Do you want me to continue dancing or leave you in the middle of the dance floor all alone?”

“Ok. I am sorry. You need to understand that I am your well–wisher. You know? When my dad told me last night that he has inaugurated a new branch of our store I was over the moon and ….”

Oh, God! Good old Rayan. Who could never detect from a person’s face if the person before him would be interested to know about his father’s assets or not?

Thankfully when the song ended, I politely detached myself from his embrace and went to my seat.

“I really wanted to have one more dance with you.” He did not feel shy to show his disappointment. I had to keep this pretense of a happy person who was fond of parties otherwise I wanted him to shut the f*ck

“Maybe some other time?” I gave him an over–brightened smile and started playing with his cuff button.

Silly me! The purpose was to shift his focus away from me, but it did the opposite. His hand covered mine and his gaze fell to my lips,

“I know what you want from me, Ash.” He said while licking his lower lip to make it wetter.

“Yeah? Then go and bring it.” He blinked back a little.

“Bring what?”

“Bathroom, silly. You can’t bring it here. I need to use the bathroom.” I giggled and got up to walk towards the restrooms. I could feel his burning gaze following me.

The moment I turned the corner, I grabbed the opportunity and exited the hall. In my haste to get away from Rayan, I had forgotten my clutch on the table.

There were not many people in the garden, and I could feel curious glances being thrown my way. Ignoring all of it I strolled towards a bushy area that was a little bit darker and had a broken bench.

I slipped into darkness and sat on the cool bench, while inhaling and exhaling the air. It was peaceful and
