Going Up!
( PART 1 )
----------------------------------
Elena's (POV )
"Cheers!! Babe I am so happy that you got the job."
"Thank you merlin."
Merlin is my childhood friend she was the one who was there in my tough times, she was the one who was there when I needed a supporter, a friend and of course a sister though she is irritating, but she is also a true friend.
"Congratulations!! A big loud but yet soft voice came from behind, Linda!"
Linda is my college buddy she is a girl's girl. She is soft hearted and a cry baby too and her boyfriend!, He sucks!.
"You scared me Linda and by the way, may I ask you why you are late?"
"Hey! I am sorry I finally got free from Jacob."
"Hhh! Not Again. Yaa but this is the last time I am breaking up with him. I am not going to see his face."
"But why did you two break up?" Merlin asked
"It's a long story and today it's your day girl so congratulations!! I am so happy for you I can't believe you'll be assisting Bloodline Enterprises marketing head." Cheers for Elena Guyss! Cheerrss!!!"
"Yay, I know I still can't beleive it the company owns the largest chain of luxury resorts in the world! What a fab gig!"
"OH MY GOD! Elena! You'll be in the same building as that Greek God Logan Jackman, the CEO!"
"Ele! You must bag him... for our sake." "Girls calm down I have no chance."
"Don't be pessimistic Ele. He'd be a fool not to notice you."
"I mean yay, It would be nice to see him in person instead of just in magazines!" "Awww, somebody has a crush on her billionaire boss!" Merlin said.
"Stop it girls I have a fiancé, remember? Martin?" Merlin is not happy at his name. I know she doesn't like him all that much.That's when I notice Linda eyeing a guy on the other side of the bar.
"Talk to him, girl! And don't say, "what if he'll be the same as jacob. JUST GO."
Some seconds later, she looked at me and triumphantly holds up a napkin. She got the guy's digits! GO LINDA!
As I saw Linda coming, Another guy started talking to her. She looked like she wanted to leave but he won't leave her.
We both rushed towards her and stared at the man down he gave me a lecuring smile.
"Back away, buddy She is not interested."
"Feeling left out? I've got two friends with me."
Two equally shady men join him and start passing comments.
"Come on, darling, I can show you a good time! Let's get out of her."
"Buzz off! Like, seriously. Who talks to women like that?"
I try leading Linda away but the leering man grabs me by the waist.
Don't make us wait, darling. My buddies and I can play rough if you act hard to get.
ENOUGH! I knee him between his legs, making him groan and collapse to the floor
"You'll regret this."
As the creeps advance, I swiftly grab a plate from the next table and chuck it in their direction.
But it miss and it hits someone else.
What the HELL! Who threw this?
Another plate is thrown and the whole place dissolves into a drunken fight with people throwing cutlery all around.
"Ohh God what a mess!! You have created Elena" Merlin said.
All chaos descends, she take our hand and quickly run out of the bar.
"NOOO! I lost the napkin with the phone number on it. GAH!.
"Linda don't you think We Had More Pressing Matters.If you didn't notice, we were trying to get away from creeps and flying cutlery."
"I can fix your mood, Linda. Mago just messaged" said Merlin. "There's a party at Courtshire Castle tonight, in the old dungeon."
"Oo that's so cool merlin."
"Linda stop giggling. Mago's 'party' will be nothing but a group of amateur cult members and devil worshippers. It's all hogwash!"
"Oo come on Elena, The supernatural could be real. And the party is at a castle! Come on, it'll be fun."
"Alright! Let's go then!"
We reached to the Courtshire Castle and head into the dungeon. As I was just seeing the beautiful architecture, Mago came .
"Welcome, welcome! Hi Linda... You look lovely."
"I'm so glad to see you, Mago!"
"Look how cutely they are blushing!" Merlin said.
"Why don't they just date already?!"
"God knows."
He leads us into a dimly lit hall that's filled with people dressed in gothic clothing. Someone comes by with a tray of brownies and drinks.
"Would you like something?" The servant said , "The Drinks Look Fun." I was tempted to try them But I was nervous.
"Oh, come on! I'll have one! You know, Ele, the closer your wedding date comes, the more boring you seem to get" Said Linda, I was flushed with embarrassment at the comment.
"Boring? ME?! NEVER! I can have fun." It's time to let loose and enjoy myself.
I finished all the drinks."YAY! That's more like it,"
"Elena! let's dance."
I danced like an i***t, After a while actually .I got lost in the music and dancing, and ended up having a wonderful time.This is the most fun I've had in ages!
"If you don't marry that jerk Martin, you can have fun all the time!" Said Merlin.
"Sigh... I don't want to marry him, but his family has done so much for me.
"Are you two moping? NOT ALLOWE, said Linda no no," "Come let's dance and enjoy ourselves like a free birds."
We had so much fun tonight. Hope tomorrow brings new excitement ...
