Time 7:30.p.m. Place, In a party hall in the city of London.
'' Cordia, why did you have to bring me into this place with you as well? You know I can't handle parties, right? I could have stayed in the hostel. There was no need to bring me along with you,'' Rosalind grunted tugging at the hand of her friend who was standing with a good posture, smiling at the guys passing by her.
'' Will you stop doing that? I bought you along as you are beautiful as well. This will help me attract some of the guys to me. Understand? Now keep standing properly till the dance starts.'' Her friend scolded her while walking away chatting with some handsome guy.
Rosalind stood still, but her knees were starting to hurt because of the dress which she had a hard time maintaining because of its length.
This is the first time she had worn high heels because of the party what can she even expect?. The party atmosphere and the aroma and fragrance of the drinks passed through her nostrils.
She adjusted her posture and leaned onto the pillar. It is a big party hall and could be described as luxurious at the same time. As she was raised in a small family she had never attended a party like this.
‘’ If Jim was here, he would’ve liked to attend this. I’d tell him about it when I’ll be back home. Gotta take some pictures to show him. Where did my phone go to?’’ she found it in the pouch which she was carrying, but she somehow dropped it while trying to take it out in an attempt.
‘’ Oh no, why did you have to fall?’’ she crouched down to pick it up.
Then took some snaps of the entire party hall. While she was doing that the face of Cordia came into her view.
She was chatting with a handsome guy while holding onto his hand. She seemed to be pleased by hanging out with him.
‘’ She’s having fun, isn’t she? It was worth the while coming to the party.’’
After a while, the music started playing. The men and the women stood in front of each other. The dance would start.
Cordia was dancing with a different guy. Rosalind stood a little bit away from the party going on.
The men and women, dressed as princes and princesses dancing elegantly as they could.
‘’ This is not the place where we belong. I’d better go somewhere else,’’ just when she was about to turn away, she bumped into someone.
Her eyes stuck to the person whom she had bumped into. His eyes looked just like blue sapphire as clear as ever, which was covered by thick eyelashes. brownish amber hair glossy, parted on the sides, combed upwards, giving it a neat and clean look.
He could be a model. His prominent feature is the mole at the corner of his eyes. His tall figure made him feel like a Greek warrior, except for the muscles, which were covered by the royal blue suit which he was wearing. The unbuttoned shirt made him look sexy as ever which was revealing his collarbone.
His sharp jawline made him look cool and hot. If his hair was a bit longer, he would look in casual clothes.
She was expecting him to say sorry, by the way, he looked so polite.
But what came as his response was,’’ Can’t you see where you are going? I was gonna be hurt by you. Blind woman.’’
His eyebrows raised in reply.
Rosalind stood with a dumbfounded face, trying to comprehend the meaning behind his words.
‘’ Can’t you hear me? Stupid. I shouldn’t deal with people like you at all,’’ stating that he passed by her in a hurry.
Rosalind became speechless.
‘’ What was that?’’.
While the dance was going on, the man went to the center attracting everyone’s attention.
One woman and man come forward and take him by the hand.
‘’ My boy, where have you been? The dance party started long ago.’’
‘’ I know, sorry about it. I’ll just watch by.’’
‘’ Won’t you dance?’’ asked the man.
‘’ Dance? Well…’’ he glances over at the pair dancing.
‘’ Dear, how will he dance? He doesn’t have a pair, does he? Everyone is dancing in pairs,’’ added his mom with a worried face.
‘’ What? How can my son not have a pair? I’ll look for a pair for him right away. Wait here,’’ the man walked past them.
Rosalind stood behind the pillar with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
The man looked around for a woman, but everyone was dancing. All of a sudden he spotted Rosalind as she was playing with the wine glasses placed near the food space.
‘’ There she is,’’ he walked over to her side.
‘’May I talk to you for a second?’’ he asked clearing his throat.
‘’ Yes?’’.
The man whom Rosalind had bumped into was talking with the woman until the man interrupted.
‘’ I’ve found a great pair for you son,’’ he said with an excited face.
They both stared at him in response.
‘’ And where is she?’’ asked the woman.
The man moved away for them to see the girl.
Rosalind stood still. His eyes widened to see Rosalind. She was surprised the same.
‘’ Meet Rosalind. She doesn’t have a partner. Dance with her’’ addressed the man.
The woman glanced over her, fixing her posture.
‘’ And why do I have to dance with this girl dad?’’ the man yelled fixing his hands in front of his chest.
‘’ Can’t you find someone better?’’.
‘’ But what’s the problem with her? She seems like a charming Lady doesn’t she son?’’ the woman asked stepping forward.
‘’ No, she’s not. I don’t want to dance with a rude girl who can’t apologize after bumping into someone?’’ yelled the man.
‘’ Huh? You were the one-‘’ Rosalind was about to say but was interrupted by the woman.
‘’ Stop being a tearjerker. Go and dance, you hardly like to dance with someone.’’
‘’ But mom you-‘’.
‘’ No mom, go, have fun with him Rosalind,’’ the woman said with a smile.
At last, they were forced to dance.
Rosalind and the man stood in front of each other. His mom was instructing from the other direction to hold her hand.
He moved his eyes, putting on a disgusted face not wanting to grab her hand.
When he was not doing that, Rosalind forced herself to do that.
She took him by the hand and placed it on her waist, and held onto his other hand, getting closer to him.
‘’ Your parents told you to do it. Why are you standing still? Now dance. Do you know the way to do it?’’ she asked without raising her eyes, to meet his.
He was a little bit surprised by her actions. But then he got himself together.
‘’ Yes, I know. Don’t think I’m an amateur. I’m used to attending parties like this. I’ll show you the way to dance,’’ he replied with a smirk.
This made her feel irritated a lot. For a rich guy, he’s quite cocky.
She lets out a deep sigh and the dance started, with them moving in slow motion.
Cordia danced like there was no tomorrow. With a gorgeous smile on her face. The man with her was talking with her while dancing. She felt like she was in her dream world. All of a sudden while dancing she noticed Rosalind dancing. And not alone. She was dancing with one of the most handsome guys on earth.
Her mouth dropped seeing that.
‘’ Who is that guy?”.
