Enjoy 💙

Sahana P.O.V.

"You look beautiful today."

My breath hitched.

Me?

Is he talking to the right person?

"See ya friend." He smiled.

My eyes didn't leave Jai in shock as he entered into his car.

I waved bye with my mouth slightly open until he left the parking lot.

"How many times has he left me in shock?" I sighed scratching my head,

"Might as well stay for another sprite." shrugging, I walked as fast as I could back into the building.

"Hi, can I have a Sprite please?" I asked while taking a seat in the now-familiar area.

The bartender immediately noticed me, "Another one?" he tilted his head.

I nodded, "Yes, another one."

A couple minutes later, I was now sipping the fizzling concoction out of the glass.

Dribbles of water dripped down, due to the coldness of the drink.

I checked the time: 9:00.

"There's no way the party is gonna end anytime soon." I sighed and saw the bartender nodding in disappointment.

Then I heard from beside me, "Hey Sahanaa."

I turned to see the main catch of the party, "Hey Blairee."

She smiled, "Are you enjoying the party?"

I nodded.

"It seemed like you were, with Jai," she giggled,

"Is there a little somethin, somethin, goin on between ya'll?" she said nudging me.

I choked on my drink,

"WAT NO, WE'RE FRIENDS BLAIRE." I coughed.

She laughed while patting my back, "Mhm whatever you sayy."

And entered back into the crowd.

I shook my head and saw the bartender giving me a look,

So you're telling me, that YOU and THAT GUY are JUST friends?

Mhm SURE.

I gave him a look back,

YES WE ARE JUST FRIENDS HOW IS THAT SO HARD TO BELIEVE??

He shook his head in disapproval and eyed me,

DID YOU SEE THE WAY HE GRABBED YOUR WAIST SIS??

THE GUY PRACTICALLY WANTS YOU IN HIS BED IN .2 SECONDS BITCH.

My eyes immediately opened.

I made an X with my arms, shaking my head from side to side, mouthing,

"NO, NO ARE YOU CRAZY?!"

Then I heard from beside me,

"Why aren't ya'll talking?"

I turned to a man who was half drunk, his eyes were droopy.

I tilted my head,

"Shouldn't you be figuring out how you're going to get home, sir?"

His eyes widened in realization and immediately took out his phone.

I turned back to the bartender and pointed at him,

"You are a dirty man, you know that?"

He raised his shoulders and brought his arms up,

"Hey, I'm just stating my opinion here."

"I'm a man and I know how other men think too."

"And that gentleman has a thing for you."

I waved my hand in denial,

"Ah stop talking nonsense."

"Am I hallucinating all this?"

"WAIT, DID YOU PUT SOMETHING IN MY DRINK SIR??"

The bartender stopped cleaning the glass in his hand and walked towards me, putting it down on the counter.

I scrunched my face as I met up with his.

He had the brightest blue eyes, I have ever seen in a person.

His hair was dirty blonde and slightly slicked back.

The man looked unreal.

I felt my heart beat.

My eyes followed as he slowly raised his hand.

I caught a ring around his finger.

Married.

Damn, I lost my chance.

JK.

Not really.

Then he flicked me in the head,

"OW."

I put a hand to my forehead and began rubbing the spot.

"Was that a hallucination?" he asked tilting his head.

I glared at him, "That WASN'T FUNNY SIR."

He laughed, showing his teeth in perfect alignment,

"It was to me."

"Pfft, whatever."

I finished my drink, giving him a look before heading out.

"Hey!"

I heard from behind and turned around,

"It was nice talking to ya."

I couldn't help but smile at his comment.

Even though he invaded my personal privacy, it wasn't to provoke me.

We were complete strangers that clicked in an instant.

Now that I think about it, he seemed more like a big brother I once had in a past life.

I nodded,

"It was nice talking to you too."

Jai P.O.V

I entered into my apartment and was greeted by Amiga,

"Hey babygirll. Oo you're hyper since Bonnie fed ya." I laughed.

"Lemme go change, I NEED to get out of this suit oh ma gaww." I loosened my necktie while heading to my closet.

Staring at myself in the mirror, I encountered my emotions back at the bar.

The way I saw that man come closer and closer to Sahana made my blood boil.

I thought I wouldn't get involved in it since I knew Sahana could handle herself.

But when he touched her hand, there was no doubt that she would probably beat the shit out of him.

So, I took her away before any of that could happen.

But also I couldn't help being slightly protective over her.

"Man, that pedophilic prick should've deserved it," I sighed.

I chuckled, imagining what would've happened if I didn't take Sahana away with me.

"Oh, that man would have gotten it bad."

I thought back to how she looked.

The black and blue dress she wore, perfectly wrapped her body, enhancing the tone of her skin.

She had mild, makeup, and jewelry that complimented her overall look.

Eyelashes long and naturally curled, with glossy plump lips, and hints of blush on the apples of her cheeks.

Her curls were put into a hairstyle, making it seem angelic-like.

Natural streaks of brown flowed throughout.

I could spot her out from the crowd.

The way she gazed at the stars outside, as puffs of clouds escaped her mouth, made it difficult for me to find the differences between her and the radiant sky.

Beautiful isn't enough to express the way she was tonight.

"Ah stop thinking about her that way. You just became friends with her, dumbass." I smacked my head.

I changed into a loose olive-green t-shirt, and classic plaid pajama pants, tossing my suit in the laundry bin.

I could hear my stomach growl while heading to the kitchen, "Calm down stomach, jeez."

Tonight was simple, some rice and curry.

Something my mom always made when I was a kid.

I sat down on the couch and watched some cooking shows while enjoying my dinner.

Amiga snuggled next to me, whining to give me some.

I sighed and got up to get a tiny bowl out of a cabinet.

Putting a tiny amount of the curry in, I headed back to the living room and put it on the floor,

"Here you go girl. Enjoy."

Amiga jumped off the couch and feasted.

I chuckled and continued to play the show until I finished my serving.

I started getting ready for bed, but a thought came up.

Is Sahana home yet?

I pulled my phone out from the charger and texted her

Me: Hey did you get home?

10 minutes later, there was still no reply.

She would've been at her home by now.

Right?

I dialed her number.

Straight to voicemail.

It was 10:00 now.

"You know what, fuck sleep."

I quickly got off my bed and left my apartment, taking Sahana's keys with me.

I exhaled a deep breath before inserting the key into the hole, and opened the door,

To see a body on the floor.

"Sahana!!"
