A Girl’s Diary

Aside from boys gawking and girls glaring, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Wait, that was out of the ordinary!

I almost giggled at my thoughts. If only I wasn't pretending to be sleeping all the way in the plane. Sky, on the other hand, kept chatting with everything with a heartbeat!

The hotel was fancy so the beds must be very comfy. I was so looking forward to experiencing them! The school had no restrictions about what we were doing except for the silly rule of no boys in girls' rooms and vice versa. No big deal for me but others weren't fans of this rule!

When I got to our room, I put the bag at the door and was about to head o bed so I could rest a bit. It looked so heavenly at this second. I was falling in love with it! If I jumped on it, would it be so soft like feathers?

"Don't you dare think of sleeping, Eli. We're changing and going out!" Sky scolded. My only response was an eye-roll and jumping on the bed. And Dammit, it was even softer than feathers. I could spend the rest of my days drowning in this bed.

"Twinkle, you promised you'd go to the club and we didn't get to do that so we're doing it now." I looked up a bit then stuffed my face in the pillows again. Weren't boys not allowed here? "You're leaving me no choice." I felt his hands on my ankles pulling them off the bed. I grabbed anything my hands could reach. Unfortunately, that was more pillows and I fell to the ground with a thud.

"You asshole. I'm telling your dad to stop your credit card." I threatened him. Uncle Cody loved me and he'd be glad to stop Tommy's credit card anyways.

"Actually, his words to me were and I quote 'make sure Elena has fun or else I'm stopping your card" He said in a deeper voice making me chuckle despite the slight pain from the fall. "So here I am, protecting my card! You know I can't live without it." Yes, I did know that. "I even brought your suitcase. Look!" He said cheerfully. I forgot about that. How could I forget about that?

"Eli, wear this, it would be perfect!" She said in a high pitched voice. Ugh! I got up and took the sparkly dress from her hands. This was going to be a long night.

I went limply to the bathroom and put on the dress. Let me tell you, it was short! A deep purple sleeveless dress which sparkled too much whenever I moved. But I had to admit, the colour was beautiful. The deep purple at the top darkened gradually until it was black at the end of the dress. It also snug to my body showing off all my workout. So, yes, I wasn't feeling that bad about wearing it!

In fact, it made me feel more like Cinnamon. I was so ready for this!

"I'm so not ready for this!" I muttered under my breath the moment we were in the club.

Tommy shook his head grabbing me in. I was ready to throw a tantrum like a little kid and stomp my feet in order not to get in. It simply didn't look like something I'd like.

People drinking and dancing. Too many people! Too packed!

How could they even breathe?

We manoeuvred our way through the herds of people to a spot by the bar. Tommy knew I would never drink howsoever what he did to convince me, he didn't bother to ask what I wanted. Sky, on the other hand, was persistent as ever. I kept denying and rolling my eyes at her snarky comments. I think I now know how my brain looks like from all the eye-rolling!

When she finally gave up, she was starting to get tipsy. So, I had to stop her from taking any more shots. I didn't want her to faint now when we just got here! "Let's go dance!" I shouted over the roaring of the music. Sky's eyes lit up and she nodded furiously taking my hand and rushing to the middle of the dance floor. It's getting ill its getting sick on the floor

Her dance moves were gorgeous. So fluid! That was when being Cinnamon usually came in handy. I imitated her moves because I frankly didn't know what was right for dancing in a club.

What I never imagined was that it could be that fun to just let go of everything and enjoy this one moment! I felt reckless and I loved it!

Moments and hours passed. I didn't know. Time wasn't what I focused on. I kept dancing until my legs ached and my muscles burnt. Skyler was nowhere to be seen nor was Tommy. We lost each other in the crowds an hour or so ago! I decided to go sit on a barstool and get cold water.

The water going down my throat was so soothing. I didn't even know I was that thirty!

"Hey, can I buy you a drink?" I heard someone say from behind me. This was one of the reasons I hated clubs. Too many creeps!

"No than-" I started turning around so I could face him "Ron?!" The eff was he doing here? "What are you doing here?" I decided to ask the civilized way.

"I was waiting for someone and she stood me up." He shrugged. So, Cinnamon gave him a break so he could meet with his secret crush! "I was so surprised when I saw you, what are you doing here?" He asked sitting on the stool next to mine.

"I never knew you could ever get stood up," I said. "Who's she?" I asked trying to sound sooo normal.

"My sister." Wait, what? "I was supposed to meet her near here but she had problems in her shop." And here I was thinking... but then again who was that girl he told me about then? "Aside from that, you look..." He trailed. "Wow!" I felt myself blush. Hard.

"I always look good." I squinted my eyes. Trying to look intimidating but failing miserably.

"Cheers to that!" He said. "Wait, you don't have a drink." Stating the obvious, aren't we? "I'll buy you one." He offered. I was about to decline but then again, I was supposed to be having fun. And experiencing what normal teenagers did. So, I nodded.

It was my first time and I did not like it one bit!

The liquid burned all the way down to my stomach. Why would people like this?

"From that expression, I think it's your first time?"

My eyes were closed so tightly. My lips pursed in a thin line. That was so bad! I relaxed my face a bit to be able to speak.

"Yeah!" I shuddered, trying to take another gulp. Maybe it would be better the second time?

"I'm such a bad influence." He chuckled, not sounding guilty at all! I downed the whole thing finally. Warmth spread through my body making me feel lighter. I liked that! All my insecurities about everything were just forgotten. There was nothing but me, Ron and this moment.

"Let's dance," I said taking his hand and heading to the dance floor.

Again!

If that wasn't changing, I did not know what it was!

"I think it was supposed to be me asking you, but you're the boss." I didn't react to his deep chuckle reasoning from his stomach.

There was one task in my mind, and one task only!

To dance!

I danced and danced but then my mind got fuzzy. Everything was blurry. I didn't know what I was doing until...

My fingers trailed along his neck. Grabbing him to me until we were so flushed against each other. He hesitated for a moment, I almost rolled my eyes. Grabbing his large hands and putting them on my waist, I continued dancing contently.

"Shana, you need some water." I heard him say against my ears. But, my only focus was on the way his hot breath was on my ear. I let him guide me towards the bar.

"Ooh, what do we have here?" A guy said invading my personal bubble. I giggled. Why did I do that?

Oh well, whatever!

Maybe he'd want to dance. Unlike Mr Not Fun here!

"Shana, here," Ron said snaking his hand around my waist and handing me a cup of water. The other guy just left without another word. But what did he want? He didn't even get to say anything! "Drink it so we can get you home." I drank just because I was beginning to feel dehydrated. The moment I set my glass down, Ron took my hand and started heading out.

Oh. Hell. No.

"Hey!" I tried to free my hand. My voice not sounding as an angry growl as I intended to. I wasn't ready to end my night yet. It was too fun! "Ron, I swear to God-"

"What?" He asked interrupting me. I blinked, forgetting what I was doing, getting lost in his eyes. So green! "Why don't we just get out of here, huh?" He said lowly. His voice was so raspy against my ear. I nodded eagerly.000000
