Chapter 16

"Well ,I came here thinking I could actually get drunk and dance and be part of what everyone is doing but then I just couldn't .I eventually came here to sit alone and try to get drunk which is going pretty well actually .What about you "?. I sit down next to him and take the bottle from him and take a swig and give it back to him .

" I came here to just I don't know ,I guess I felt like it you know what I mean"

" Actually , I don't but I get what you're trying to put up" he laughs and I join him .

" And what am I trying to put up may I ask "? .

" Well you're saying that you felt bored or didn't have anything to do so here you are " .I'm Tyler by the way ,Tyler Owens .he introduces himself and holds out his hand for me to shake it .

" I'm Kimberly Jacobs and its nice to meet you " . shaking his hand I look into his eyes and see a little excitement and danger Dancing around in his irises .

" Its nice to meet you too, hey I was thinking that why don't we just like get out of this place and maybe we could find something else to do are you hungry" . he asks and for a second I get lost in his eyes and come back .

"Sure ,yeah me too I could get some food in me " I say and he laughs and I wonder if I am that funny.

" OK let's go " he stands up and grabs my hand we make our way out of the party and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in . He takes me to what I assume is his car and opens the door for me . I get in the passenger seat and think about how food this is going and how I actually found someone to hang out with who is so much better than Christian or even Connor .

He starts up the car and puts on music ." So where are we going " .

" I know this nice place not to far ,where we can get like really nice burger and fries .

"did I tell I like your outfit by the way" .

" No " I answer in a small voice .

" Well ,I do like it it's looks good on you ".And just because of that. compliment I feel like I am floating around cause why wouldn't you getting a compliment from a guy that looks this gorgeous I don't think or can get any better than this .

" What music do you listen to ,I have a bunch of CD's you can choose from or if you like you can use my aux cable to connect to your phone so you can pick .

I decide on playing the music from my phone ,I connect my phone to his car and immediately my one direction playlist comes on .

" Oh my ,no don't tell me you are one of those " .

" One of who are what " .

" No ,I didn't mean it in that way ,I was just saying because my sister happens to be very fond of one direction even though its like not a thing anymore .I wasn't like in any way making fun of you " .

" That's a relief because for a second there I thought that you were laughing at me and I don't take well to people who laugh at me like that .I say giving crossing my arms around my chest .

" well I'm sorry if I made it sound like that, will you forgive me please .Please with a cherry on top .

" it's fine anyways "

"That's good because we have arrived " giving me a goofy look he gets out of the car to open the door door for me ".

" I hope you aren't those those I only eat salads girls cause this kinda place serve pizza so " ...

"Oh don't worry I'm not those girls well I wish I was sometimes but I'm not ,I can have my burger and pizza so I think I'm fine" . I say taking as we are walking to the door of a nice and quaint pizzeria called Pizzieas .

we enter and I am hit by an very strong smell of pizza that makes my mouth water immediately .He guides me to a nice table for two .

"I just love this place ,I always come here and they offer about the best pizza I've ever had . So what do you want to get " he says as we are both looking at our menus .

"I think I'm gonna go with the mushroom and chicken pizza " I say and just then the waitress comes with a pen and a little notebook . Her name tag reads Julie she looks a little too excited for someone who is going to be taking people's orders.

" Hey , Tyler what can I get you guys today "? . she asks in a overly sickly sweet voice that sounds a little to fake .

" Oh , hey Julie um I'll be having the meat pizza special for today " .he says looking at his menu the whole time not even sparing her a single glance .

" Really , but you always have the cheese and pepperoni what happened today " .

"I don't know ,I guess I just felt like it " .

"And for you what do you want " she says in a harsh voice as if she's like she's trying to get in my skin ,like she's telling me something . And I know that message loud and clear its the ' he's mine but not really cause I have to win his heart over and you're in the way of it look.

I almost say something but then bite my tongue and instead take the high road . " I'll have the chicken and mushroom pizza thank you along with a sprite " .

" OK ,if that is all I'll be back with your food " she says but I can practically see her sneering and uttering a comment about me but I just decide to ignore it .

" So here's the thing Kim , I like you and I've decided that I want to be your friend the reason why I made this decision is not because ,I see the sadness behind your eyes and want to toy with you .i just think you are alone and sad and somehow that makes me sad too. So i want to be there for you friend wise if you're okay with that " .
