Broken Samuel

The Party

“YOU DID WHAT!!”

“Why are you yelling at me?

“Alex... some times... aahhrrr!! I want to kill you!!”

“What are you talking about!! Lily, I don’t want to be the third weal all the time. So I thought I could use some company tonight...”

“I didn’t want to tell you but... Sam will be THERE.”

“WHAT?” “WHY!?”

“He contacted Johnny to say hi last week and Johnny invited him to the party. He sent a text message to confirm that he’ll be here tonight.”

“Why did Johnny invited him? Didn’t he know? Lily, didn’t you tell him?”

“Of course I did!! But Johnny said that it was his party and he will invite whoever he wanted!”

“Ohhh Lily!! And why didn’t you tell me BEFORE!!”

“Because this is your chance to ask him Alex, Sam knows you will be here, so maybe he is planning something, but if I said so to you, then you will find an excuse to not come to the party! ”

“Well, you got that right! I’m not coming!!

“Oh no, no no no! You’re going to be here! You decide to come to the party or I will drag you to, but you are not backing down!”

“... ... ok... But I’m coming with David.”

“You can come with the president if you want, but come to the party!”

“Ok”

“Ok, Ok. Geez! I promise to come to the party TONIGHT. There! Are you happy now?!”

“I’m not, not really, but whatever. See you later Alex.”

Johnny’s 19 birthday party was going to be the event of the year. His Parents rented a place that people normally use for big weddings and such. The DJ was going to be AJ, one of the best and famous DJs in California. And the invitation said semi-formal! So, no jeans!! I borrowed a dress from Alice closet. She wasn’t going to the party, anyway. The dress was indigo and with only one shoulder strap. It was short, above the knee and a little tight. I was going to wear silver killer high hills sandals and a silver mini handbag. I decide to wear my hair natural and only put a couple of pins to avoid the hair falling in my face all the time. My hair was longer now, only 3in above the waist. Light make up and French manicure and pedicure. Well... not every day the opportunity to go to a fancy party appears, so I better be pretty! But I was doing it to show Samuel what he was missing too.

David came to pick me up around 8 pm. He was a nice guy and a good friend too. His hair was black and it made a nice combination with his striking blue eyes. He was tall and athletic; he was the captain of the softball team at the school. He was wearing black pants and long sleeves shirt. On top of that was wearing a jacket. His tie was white with some patters. He was very handsome dress like that. Why hasn’t any other girl claim him yet? Now that I see him, hi is very much boyfriend material!

“Not fair Alex... You are stunning tonight.”

“Why, thanks David... you look very nice too! Every girl is going to envy me tonight” “But I’m wearing high hills so maybe the look will break down a little later though.”

“Well, to be honest, I’m not a very good dancer so maybe we put some balance there!”

“It sounds good to me.” .

We arrive to the party ant 8:15 pm. Lily was waiting for me and only when she saw me stopped to pestering me with text messages. She was wearing a very tight red dress and shoes, and it was clear why Johnny didn’t let her go too far from his sight. She was beautiful. She didn’t look like a teen anymore; she was a young woman now. Johnny was wearing a black suit and shirt, his tie was red, matching Lily’s dress. They looked lovely together.

At 10 pm almost the whole school was there and the party was ON. I was trying to have fun and forget about everything for just one night. Even when David told me that he wasn’t a good dancer, he wasn’t bad either. The music was nice and I felt good dancing in his arms. Around 11 pm started a Brazilian show for Johnny, a gift from his eldest brother. The Brazilian girls came dancing samba in the rio-carnival outfit. Of course, the men in the party were drooling and the girls were just laughing at them for the dummy-face they all were wearing and some other were really piss at the show. At that moment my feet were killing me and I decide to sit in one of the chairs of the bar. I was watching the show from there alone, Lily was stick to Johnny and David was with his fans watching the show very close to the Brazilian girls. I asked a coke to the bartender and was about to sipped a little when I saw him in front of me and I froze. I couldn’t avoid checking him out from head to toes. He was wearing a white suit, jacket open, a black shirt without tie and at least 3 buttons undone. His hair was with that messy stile, and his face clean shaved. He was gorgeous, all except his eyes. There was no light in his eyes. Again his eyes reflected nothing but sadness.

“Umm... hey!”

“Hello Alex… How are you?”

“Good. Thanks. And you?”

“Good... good. Mmm where is your Date?”

“I don’t know... he is somewhere in that craw watching the show, I just came to rest for a bit.”

He stood there watching me. Staring at me and I began to feel even more nervous, like if that was possible. What was his problem anyway! Why appear in from to not really say anything?

“Are you really alright Sam?”

“Not really... I’ve been better though.”

“Didn’t ... Didn’t you bring a date with you? I mean...”

“She is in the lady’s room.”

“I wanted... I. I wanted to say that I... Well...”

“Hey baby... did you miss me?!”

“Let’s go. Bye Alex.”

I didn’t say anything. I just watch him leave with the beautiful blond in the mini black dress. I was so hurt, I felt like wanting to run away and never come back. I was holding back tears and my hands were shaking so bad. Just then David came to look for me.

“Hey, those girls really know how to shake their ...”

“What’s going on Alex, are you ok?”

“OK... do you want to talk about it?”

“Do you want to leave?”

“Ok... let’s go. I will take you home.”

We didn’t say good bye to the other people in the party. When we got to the parking lot, David was about to open the door when, an impulse to do something to forget about Sam invaded me and, I pull David’s arm. When he turned to look at me, I pull him closer to me ... close until we were nose to nose, and he was looking at me like trying to decipher a code or something. Then he hesitated no more and kiss me. He pulls me even closer hugging me and kissing me very sweet at first, but getting hungrier every minute. He put one hand in my back above my waist and the other in my neck. I forgot about myself and instead of thinking, I was just feeling. David was a very good kisser and was making me breath fast! He then put his back on the car and kept kissing and hugging me. Our breathing became a little hard. I was feeling lost in his kisses but he began to stop gently and push me back and just hug me.

“Are you feeling better?”

At that moment I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. I started to cry and David was hogging me tighter, comforting me like and old brother, stroking my hair with care. I was hugging him back with desperate need.

“Tell me who broke your hart Alex, and I will break his face!”

I didn’t tell a word. David took me home and told me during the ride that if I wanted, he would be there for me for whatever I wanted, a friend or boyfriend. And whichever I choose, his feeling weren’t going to change. At the front door of my house he gave me a light kiss on the lips and said good bye. I went to my room, change into my PJs and sent a text to Lily to let her know that I left the party and was at home, also to asked her to tell sorry from me to Johnny. Then I went to bed and felt sleep crying.
