You

We were just staring in each others eyes.
I could see everything through.
My past, my present my future, his past his present and his future.
A tear fell off my eyes, rolling down my cheek and neither did I stop them.
“There is nothing torn. It was just stuck and not take a thread off. You are a liar.” I spoke when I realized the texture of my dress was perfect and the thing that I was worried about did not happen.
Nail did get stuck but the sound that I heard was just my ear drums ringing because of the worry I was expecting. I took off the denim on my shoulder , threw it on him and walked away.
Lets watch everyone dance then and comment.
I stood for a while but got bored.
Lets go to the bar table then.
That huge table with colourful lighting, two men juggling the bottles,loud hooting and roars, other girls serving alcohol.
In that crowd I squeezed myself to reach the front and three girls and two boys were drinking like….wait it was some kind of bet. Only one girl and a boy from before, and two new boys joined. Three large shots of vodka were served again. I got that! The competition was about who could complete all three of them bottoms up in least time and then walk in a straight line from the first chair to the last.
And another enthusiastic boy whistled through his lips again to mark the start of the challenge. Two boys left this time as they tripped over and fell on each other.
“Me!” I shouted and all eyes on me. I took one seat and everyone was served again.
I grinned.
As soon as I heard the whistle, i gulped it down, burning my throat. It is not as simple task as I thought it would be. Gulping these three was like happily saying I am ready to get slayed. I could feel the adrenaline rush and heat in my body. The mercury was rising and my cheeks would have turned red for sure. I walked and another man joined me soon. But I was still in the competition thank god.
Only me and the boy was left now. I turned to face recognize Stacy standing with her arms entangled with some boy. They were standing in first row.
“You come!” I ordered the boy that Stacy was clinging onto. Though it was clear from her face that she didn't like it but to test him was also important.
He sat next to me and one more girl joined. Again three serves. I was first to complete my drinks. As I turned everyone else was still having glass on their lips. I grinned once again.
Such a talent comes in use hardly once in life. Stacy's man gave me a death glare and left his seat and so did the girl. The boy from before also could not gulp anymore because he already had enough and there was a large cheer when he stood up to enter the crowd.
I scanned through the crowd and called another boy ,"you” I said as I pointed him.
Quite a courage he had to come and have a seat and before anything else my eyes fell on Leo.
“You!” I pointed him and called. He looked at the crowd once as it was getting dull because on his unresponsive behavior but he too took a seat next to me. He was studying my face with a puzzled face of him.
“Look if you are doing this because of the dress thing, then I am sorry. I usually joke aroud like this.” He was clear, leaning closer to me.
“I don't hold these many grudges. “ I was not lying when I said this.
The drinks were served and once again I was first, looking at the other two boys completing their drinks. i started walking straight from my seat to the last chair.
I was first this time and Leo was followed. The third guy could take no more and was already out of his mind because he could not even balance himself.
I scanned the crowd once again and it would have been such a pity if this uproar faded. Nobody was up anymore and I was still looking at the crowd. So in short, it was only me and Leo now for the next round.
This time when I turned towards the table, it was all full of glass. Like around 20 to 30. He was filling them all as they were clustered together. As all were filled, the whistle blew once again and in no time the glass was on our lips.
“Nobody wants to help” somebody spoke and soon some glasses were taken by volunteers from crowd to help us finish them fast.
As I was gulping down the last glass… s**t! Leo has already finished. As soon as I banged the glass down my wrist was grabbed and I was following. It was him who had held my wrist and he was walking towards the last chair, the finish line with me following him. He had waited before till I complete my glass. He halted before the chair to have me and him in the same line and we crossed the chair together.
We both won the finals.
The crowd was uproring for this finale like never before. I could not help but blush. He grinned. I smiled. I don't know but it all felt mystical. I was smiling that eye to eye smile. His eyes ere fixed on me I realized. He bowed down to thank and some people surrounded us.
Only girls surrounded him, some falling , some laughing and I would have been shoved off in the crowd already if his grip around my wris would not have been this tight. I struggled a bit but soon I was off from his grip.
Some boys surrounded me . Obviously these things make you popular. There were many hands on my hand to congratulate, some in air expecting a hi five, voices was all mix up,
'well done man!'
'oooh, tough lady'
'congratulations'
'once more with me dude'
it was fun to give this smile that I do not remember when I last gave.
Some were asking if I work here because they did not see me before, some were asking the department in which I worked, some were asking names, and some were just blabbering like jealous bitches do.
Once again there was a jacket on my shoulder and there was the same smell. But as I resisted. His hands were tighter this time and the person breathed near my ear
“Never-look-back”.
The same voice it was.
More intense.
I resisted once again and the grip grew tighter.
