CHAPTER 4

Zoe 's Pov

My head is spinning and it took me a moment to realise that my head is paining very badly. What happened last night maybe I should ask Emma. I opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar room. I squeeze my eyes shut maybe I was dreaming when I open them again the same room WHAT THE HELL!!! What happened last night?? When did I land up in this room?? And where is Emma ?? So many questions but no answers. I tried to remember but every thing is blur only thing I can remember is a pair ofdeep blue eyes. They were looking at me in concern. I look around the room the walls are all white and one wall has beautiful portraits. While scanning the room I saw that at the side of the bed some medicines and a glass of juice was kept. The medicines reminded me the pain in my head maybe I should search for some Tylenol. Taking the medicine and drinking the juice I tried to stand waaoooo I still didn't get my balance back for a minute I stood there and when I was feeling a bit ok then I took my heels and headed straight to the exit of the hotel. OH SHIT!! this is the most expensive hotels in Italy when did I landed here. "Mi scusi signora" ("Excuse me miss. ")a man said . I looked back and saw a man standing in white clothes he looks like a driver I guess ."Sì"? ("Yes ?" )I replied more or less asked. "Sir mi ha detto di farvi scendere"

( "Sir told me to drop you .)" I looked at him confused and thought that maybe he has Been mistaken me for someone else. "Mi dispiace che tu abbia sbagliato "("I am sorry I think you have been mistaken.") No maam, Sir mi ha detto che una signora in abito blu

sarebbe venuto fuori in qualsiasi momento. Devo abbandonare a casa sua. "(" No maam,Sir told me that a lady in Blue dress would be coming out anytime. I have to drop her at her home.") I was shocked that a man bought me here . Without thinking twice i sat in the car. On the way back my mind was consumed by only two thoughts 1) Em must be freaking out.

2) those beautiful pair of deep blue eyes looking intently at me.

My thoughts were broken by the driver's voice "Signora"abbiamo raggiunto ".( "Ma'am we have reached ".) I thanked him. And move towards our apartment were inside would be furious Emma waiting for me. With a heavy sigh " Its going to be a long day." As soon as I steped inside the house "WERE THE HELLLL HAVE YOU BEEN"she yelled" I CALLED YOU ZILLION TIMES AND YOU HAVE NO TIME TO PICK MY CALLS." I can tell if she would be a cartoon character so right now her face would be red and smoke must be coming out of her ears but her voice had something else to it which made one thing clear that it wasn't not only me who was messing with her head so I quickly interrupted her "Emi cool down, I know i was gone but.."."SERIOUSLY YOU ARE ASKING ME TO COOL DOWN ???" I opened my mouth to speak but she raised her hand as the traffic policeman do when he stops the one side traffic. "I WAS JUST GONE FOR TWO MINUTES ZOE AND I FUCKING TOLD YOU TO BE WERE YOU ARE... BUT YOU?? YOU JUST VANISHED I LOOKED FOR YOU EVERY DAMN PLACE BUT YOU WERE NOWHERE. I EVEN CALLED STELL-- " I cut her rant

"Emi Emi just relax I know that you where worried about me and I am sorry I didn't even know that What happened but look I am here infront of you safe and I promise I will never do this again....OHK!!!.So relax and I will tell whatever bit and pieces i reremember." So there I told her what happened how I went to the washroom and the next when I open my eyes I was in a luxurious hotel room. After listening to me patiently I asked " What did I miss after you know."Emma shifted uncomfortablely and taking few seconds she just said " Fucking Ryan" and started crying . "What did he do??? Did he hurt you??? Did he do something that you didnt wanted to do???."Emma just shakes her head in negative and said "he ditched me he broke up with me I can't imagine that a guy ditched Me!! I mean he broke up with me the diva of the college." I signed oh that's why she was crying Emma will always be Emma the drama queen. "So spill out what happened will you" I said through clenched teeth. She toke a dramatic sigh and started " Oh you know last night I told you to stay and I will be back" she glared at me shaking her head she continued "So I went in the search of THIS MOTHERBOARD RYAN SO that we could return home and you will not believe what I saw I knew he was cheating on me but the thing that hurt me was with whom he was cheating ". There was a sign of betrayal in her eyes. I slowly asked "who". "Dell". I was like did she said Dell but that completely justify her unpredictable behavior around Ryan and Emma.

What do you think Zoe will do hearing that delena was the person who was the reason Ryan was cheating on Emma??

We were lounging on the couch when we had an unexpected guest our own stella. Stella was bouncing with excitement about something I could see the brightness in her eyes she was very eager to announce something and I tell you when ever she is in such a mood there is something very big to happen. Here she started her rant "You know you know there such a big news I have I am so excited too excited o my god "(speaking in Italian). Calm down will you and please English version Stella." She sheepishly grinned" Oops I got too excited so what I was telling was that there is these two handsome and rich sons of a businessman who is a close friend of my dad who is throwing a grand party in the honor of his sons coming back to Florida. I have heard that both of them are greek gods in looks and both are single I mean how can they be but whatever I have come here to invite both of you for the maskurate party .

She started babbling about how the party was going to be and about the decorations and mostly about the two mysterious guys which we hardly know. Thinking about mysterious guys my mind went back to the room of that hotel.

Who was that guy who bought me there. If I had only seen his face so I could have thanked him in person but as drunk as I was I only remember those pair of beautiful ocean blue eyes.

I was lost in the thoughts of past that I cannot make out what was the girls were discussing..."Yaa this is great!!!!" Emma said cheerfully." What do you think Zoe??? Zoe.... zoe can you hear me??"" Aamm ya I.....it's great you can go ahead" I said a tat bit confused.

"Ohk!! Then we will be ready at 8 pm.

Ohk!! " Stella jumped and started walking out and said from the shoulders "see you then!!." Uff god!! now what again a stupid party.

And not the normal one it's the fucking masquerade party!!! And who are these stupid guys or should I say greek gods in Stella's language can't they just stay calm oh God I am soo damn annoyed I can't handle these parties anymore I wanted to say this to Emma but looking at her excitement I just don't have this nerve to ruin this otherwise she will definitely lecture me like she is the teacher and I am 5 yrs old misbehaving and annoying child. Uhhggg can't they give me a bit of a break!! NO OFCOURSE NOT!!.

The time passed as I helped Emma for choosing the dress for the party. In that process I too found one. Emma was wearing a black strapless gown and a black colour beautiful mask. Whereas I was wearing a simple but yet elegant red gown with red stiletto and my mask was also black but it was not that beautiful as compared to Emma. We got dressed up and headed straight to the venue i.e Stella's house.

It irks me when Emma asked me the same question " EXCITED " I held out my breath and said "VERY" ( NOTE THE SARCASM ).I started to fidget my fingers. Emma looking at my fingers said

"Awww don't be cranky!!!". I tried to hide it and said "who is being cranky."

She just gave me a look of 'I know you too well' and pulled over the large mansion. "Amazing isn't it" exclaimed Emma. I didn't realise that my mouth was popped open until Emma close it. All the way laughing.

"Come on let's go fish" she said with a grin and got out of the car. I followed her inside the mansion and entered with our masks on. We admiring the beauty of the mansion when suddenly there was a tab on Emma's shoulder. We turned and there was she stupidly grinning Stella. I don't understand these two I mean when ever there are hot guys they both go like all grinning and susuhig all the time. And the best part when boys approach these two get on their attitude mode on.

After some time...

Emma and Stella are talking to some boys and I am sulking here cursing why did I ever said yes for coming here as usual this party is boring just like uhhh!!. At that same instant an announcement was made to gear urself for the awaited dance with a random

Guys. I was started to get nervous thinking about the dance. The dance started and after every 5 minutes we have to switch partners. I was looking around and saw emma dancing followed by stella my eyes stopped when i spotted a pair of blue eyes looking towards me i dont know but they somehow was familiar i also started to look into his eyes. That guy was across the hall dancing with a random girl. Then again the partners changed now we were close. I closed my eyes and in a swing i was in his arms he looked down with blue eyes of his. And i immediately figured it out that these were the eyes that were consuming me since yesterday. Is he the one helping me last night?. Should i ask??. I was about to say some thing when he complimented me "you really look beautiful.....and your eyes are.......different." different????. "Different in a negative sense". But he moved his head from left to right in denial. Guessing what i was thinking. Again the song changed and the partners too. I really need to ask about the previous night.

Third party pov

Emma was fidgetting with her dress and at the same instant dancing and recording the faws of every dancer. "OH GOD CANT I GET A REAL GENTLEMEN!!!. GUESS WHAT NOOO!!!. UGHH!!" She said when again a partner changed and when she looked up she saw a green pair of eyes and a smirking face. Irritated she said "WHAT!!!." His smirk grew more. But inside she was thinking that he is looking hot in that black tuxs of his. He said "Nothing i was just wondering that ur kind of womens will never will get over yourselves."

Getting more irritated I said "really now you are going to bash at me without even knowing me properly??". "Yes why not" said that jerk arrogant man. Ugggghhhhhh why me good lord why i always have to deal with every jerk in the party.
