Chapter 4. Taxi

One of the last things I heard before I left was something about a party, but that was all I knew, so she helped fill in the gaps. She told me it was some well-organised beach party with a number of DJ's on two different stages. One was supposed to be a bit more mainstream while the other stage hosted some DJ's that were known for their harder remixes. I didn't really mind, I decided as it was the last evening to have a blast with Emily and make sure we would never forget this night.

I caught myself staring when Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome called a taxi for all of us. Who was he, who were they that they could afford all this? Emily saw my worry, but according to her, they were alright. She was never wrong when it came to judging character.

All of a sudden I also realised that I must have been gone for hours as it was now almost sundown.

While I was away, I did not do much actually. I walked a bit and went to one of the nearest beach houses. I drank a very pink smoothie with dragon fruit and watched the sea and the people at the beach. God, I was going to miss this place. I knew there were some lakes nearby my new uni. Maybe I could find a nice spot there as well. I also continued playing the game I was doing with the girls before. However, instead of judging guys, I preferred to think of how persons that attracted my attention were like, what they would do for a living, what they would like to do in their free time, what type of girlfriend some of the guys would have. 'Cause to be fair, I still mostly watched the guys at the beach.

I was deep in thought while packing my things. I had left everything when I took a walk and no one bothered to put it away for me, which I also did not really expect. But that did mean I still had to pack them, now that we were leaving for a party. I heard Mr. TDH talk, he had a beautiful, very masculine voice. It was quite low and deep, but had a warm undertone which made me melt and feel butterflies in my tummy, just for a voice! I must be going mad! I was so mesmerized that I didn't even know he was actually talking to me. I looked up and he asked me again if I needed any help. The only thing I needed was him to kiss me I thought. I noticed was that he was even more beautiful from up close. His blue eyes seemed to look right into my soul and I loved how perfectly tanned he was. And that smile, it was to die for. I was so flabbergasted that he spoke to me that I still did not quite catch whatever he just said or asked.

He must have interpreted my facial expression for confusion and stated 'I'm sorry, let me start over. My name is Jake. What is your name and would you like some help with your towels?' His name, Jake, it suited him. 'My name is Abigail, but call me Abs or Abby like my friends do, and thank you but I am fine.' I think it will be best to stay away from him as much as possible during the evening and night to avoid falling for him. It just can't be that I meet my "true love" the day I am leaving the place where I met him. That would be cruel fate.

But instead of listening to me, he picked up my largest towel, folded it and handed it over. He also picked up my white sheer dress and shook the sand off. I suddenly felt very much aware about how naked the dress actually was. I intended it for a beach day, not for a night out. For going out, I preferred keeping it simple and decent. I put my long wavy copper-coloured hair in a high ponytail, finishing the beach look I was originally going for. Right when I was finished, one of the other guys notified Cathy and the others that the taxi had arrived and we were good to go.

Together with Emily and Jake right behind us, we followed the group. "I am dressed way to bare for a party, do you think we could stop somewhere to grab a dress? Oh, and ot to mention the bags, maybe we can go over to your place and meet the others at the party later?" Emily wanted to respond, but instead Jake did. "I don't think anyone has had dinner yet, how about we grab pizza at the shopping mall and you use the time to shop for a dress? About the bags, leave them in the taxi, I will have them brought to our hotel so you can pick them up before you go home later tonight." are we going to leave our bags?" When I looked back over my shoulder to reply with a million things of why this was not possible, but I was met with his beautiful eyes and I could not help to notice how he scanned my body. I just couldn't help it but my knees felt weak and I felt my juices dripping in my panties. Then Jake growled? Did he know? Emily was eyeing us and I felt so embarrassed. I quickly looked forward and could not feel more ashamed than I did.

Not just towards him, but to myself as well. After all those years, not once, did a guy have this effect on me and I was not sure what I have to think of it. After all this, I totally forgot what I wanted to say and accepted his idea, which was the best possible scenario to be fair.

We got into the taxi, it was a small bus. It was half an hour drive to the other side of the city. The North and South were divided by miles of villa's and high-end offices that promised the best working circumstances at the beach. Most roads were private and so we had to get around, knowing this city it would take a while before we reached the shopping mall and party. It was now just past 8 pm. I was sitting in the middle between Emily and Mr. TDH at the window. On the other side of Emily sat Christina, one of the other girls, she looked tipsy but satisfied. Ready to take a nap to be able to conquer the night afterwards. I was separated from Emily by a small corridor. There were in total three rows of 4 seats, so perfect for our group.

We took off, the lights went off and very soon I noticed I was dozing off as well.
