Chapter 30
A moment of shock! I couldn't even realize what has just happened. I felt dumb and senseless.
After I got my senses back, I looked at the owner of the hand I was holding so tightly.
God! What the hell I have done? sti sti s**t
I shockingly stared at those panicked eyes, forgetting to let his hand go. That poor waiter was scared and embarrassed to the death
I realized the mess I have created. I was going to fell down. Therefore, I hold this poor guy's hand, who was just beside m Anyway, the worst thing was he has got panicked more than me, and it made him drop the pile of glasses he had on his tray. That loud smashing sound was from that.
Everyone was just staring at us. I was still holding on to his hand like an i***t. What a way to make an entrance to your boyfriend's birthday party!
No dress nor makeup in the world can make you not act like an i***t. You are such a stupid s**t!
“Are you okay?” suddenly someone came from the other side and held my free hand.
With that familiar voice, I felt a thousand times better.
“Yeah......I am fine” I said removing my hand from that poor boy's hand and giving my body weight to Luke's, who was holding my hand with concern in his eyes.
I saw Jake was also standing just beside Luke. He was staring at me with an indecipherable emotion on his face. He was wearing a tuxedo! He looked so much handsome to be even real.
What is wrong with you Sarah? Is this the time to think about those things?
“Don’t worry, I will let the manager know that it is our fault. Please clean this” Luke said to the waiter, who was still in so much fear even to move. Luke had his hand securely wrapped around my waist, and from his other hand, he was still holding my hand.
“Calm down Sarah... Nothing to worry," he whispered.
His voice was so much soothing.
I felt a lot better having him by my side, but I was still so embarrassed. I knew my face has turned red despite the makeu “It's time to cut the cake. Let's go," he said.
He removed his hand on my waist. But he held my hand tightly and started walking to the center. tried to take off my ha from him because I have drawn enough attention already. I didn't want to make any more trouble by walking hand in han with him, though 1 loved to do that so much.
I think he read my thoughts. So he let my hand go.
I walked behind him, having my eyes glued to the ground. Jake was following us.
After a few minutes, he cut the cake. It was a gigantic cake, they have spent a fortune on this party. However, I was surprised to find out that it was just his friends who were there at the party, I thought his family members are also participating. Anyway, that's better. Otherwise, all his family could have witnessed how I made my self a fool.
I was looking at Luke with so much love and admiration. He looked so handsome today. Most of the other handsome and beautiful people I know are so rude and mean. But he is a clear exception. He is the kindest person I have ever known. After cutting the cake, I was sitting alone at a table. Everyone was enjoying the party to their fullest. This party has everything one could ask for including delicious food, good music, and ample space. Now the dance floor was also opene So people were dancing like there is no tomorrow.
I felt the vibration of my phone.
“I should have told you this way earlier. You look stunning princess. Everyone is just looking at you. Believe me, all these girls just want to be like you, and all the guys just want to date you. But you are mine, and no one can be like you. I have words to tell how much proud I am.” his text made me smile and filled my heart with some unknown pleasure.
“Thank you. All of these because you helped me."
“No! You are a diamond. No one has cut that diamond to shine. *
“Hey!” Someone said, sitting next to me. It was Kane, one of my batch mates. He is also in the less annoying category, though I haven't talked with him much.
“Hey!” I smiled, taking my eyes off the screen.
“You look beautiful tonight,” he said.
“Thank you, Kane. You look great too.”
“Sarah,” he seemed a bit nervous.
“Yes.
“Would you mind dance with me?” he asked after a pause.
Oh! What should I say? How can I dance with someone else at Luke's party? On the other hand, I was texting with him.
“l am sorry, Kane. I am not a good dancer” I said.
“Neither am I. But we can try. Even these people don't really dance. They just move their bodies” he said laughing. “Yeah, but at least they have done that before. I haven't danced before." I tried my best to persuade him.
“Please Sarah. You got to enjoy when you are at a party. Let's go. Please,” he said, looking at me with his puppy dog eyes. Finally, I agreed. I didn't feel like, having him pleading.
I danced with him for some time. That was the first time I danced with anyone. I was nervous, what Luke might think. Anyway, I must say that Kane was so gentle with me, and he guided me to follow the steps. I didn't really know, Kane is st a nice person. He made me laugh and felt special. But I was still worried about Luke. 50 I told him that I am a bit tired. He was such a gentleman, he didn't try to be demanding. We were walking toward the table. One of his friends came and ask him to come to take a photo. So he had to left me alone and go.
Damn! This shoe. It is actually killing me.
God I got cramp Helltt Nott
My foot was aching like hell, and I felt I couldn't walk anymore. I was just limping to a chair. sti!
All of sudden, someone grabbed me from the waist and made me sit on the chair.
Luke! 1 looked at his face to check if he is angry. But there was not even a hint of anger.
“What happened?” he asked concernedly.
“Just a cramp,” 1 said, trying to smile.
“Oh,” he looked worried.
“ am making troubles to you since the beginning you may think it's a mistake to invite me,” 1 said, looking right into his eyes. I actually felt like a burden to him.
“What? No! Don't even think like that. Nothing that you do is a trouble for me. Lets remove this first” he said, bending down and removing my shoe.
“Noll Waitt” I almost screamed.
He looked at me with surprise.
“You don't have to do that, Luke. It will be okay soon.”
But without listening to me, he just removed my shoes and started massaging my toes. His fingers felt so good on my toe am willing to have cramps every day if he looks after me like this. How lucky am I to have you in my life darling?
“Wait here okay. I will bring something to drink,” he said, standing up.
I nodded.
I think my foot felt a bit okay now. So I stood up to walk for a bit to check it.
Yeah, it feels okay now. Thank God!l was walking around the table for a bit.
Shit! It came again. This is ridiculous.
I fell on to a chair, blaming my stupid foot.
I bent down and started to massage my toes. I didn't know these cramps could hurt this much. I sometimes get these wh I have to stand up for a long time. But they usually get fine soon, but today it hurts so much.
Tears filled in my eyes.
I saw someone squat near me with my blurred eyes.
“Jaken"
without saying anything, he lifted my leg up and kept it on his thigh. He started massaging it gently.
“What are you doing?” I tried to take my leg off.
“Shut up and wait, will you?” he continued.
My dress was just knee-length. I was nervous if my leg was not properly covered because of the position I am sitting. If it not properly covered, then he can see just everything if he looks up.
what will Luke think? I first danced with one guy, and now another one is massaging my foot.
I tried to pull my dress down as much as possible to cover my knees.
He looked at what I was doing. God! Such an awkwardness.
Can 1 just dig a pit and bury myself?
His jaw muscles clenched. His face gets clouded.
Did he look angry? But what have I done to make him angry?
He looked down and continue massaging.
“aww.” when he applied a bit more pressure, it hurt like crazy.
“Didn't you feel this pain when you were clinging to him and dancing like insane?” did his voice sound sarcastic or... ange He looked right into my eyes...
“What?” I asked panicked.
