Via's Story

Guys, so i will put my via's story, why? because she put my name in her story, read it guys haha


Few months ago...

Things were well underway when i arrived at Naya's party. I noticed a nice looking guy right away, but (sadly) he was wearing an engagement ring. I mingled, actively avoiding Mr. Engaged, but he was definitely watching me. Then we ended up outside on Naya's tiny balcony, alone.

He introduced himself (Erick, haha), and told me he'd heard i know the city like the back of my hand. He's new in town, and asked if i would like to have coffee sometime so he could pick my brain. Even though the alarm bells were ringing, i was attracted to him. But i was also irritated that an engaged man was asking me to get coffee.

Before i could stop myself, i threw my drink at him!
I spluttered, "Coffee? Pick my brain? You're engaged!"
He looked completely and totally shocked. And wet, since my gimlet was dripping off of him. He held up his hand and looked at the ring like he'd never seen it before.

I was feeling quite smug, until he explained that the ring..... wasn't his. It belongs to his friend, Arif(hehe). Erick's the best man, Erick picked up the ring for Arif, and Erick didn't want to lose the ring, so my dear friend Naya told Erick to wear it.
"All of which you'd know if you'd bothered to ask", Erick finished.
He looked pretty miffed.

Then he started to pour his drink on my head. I felt a splash of tonic water hit my forehead, but he pulled back just in time.
"I'm taking pity on you", he said.
He was smiling. I have to admit, i respected to move. I told him we were even and that i was sorry for the misunderstanding, and for the lime juice all over his shirt.

Beetwen the talking and the laughing, i was also very happily realizing that he was NOT engaged.

Erick suggested we go inside so he could dry off. As we stepped across the threshhold, he put his hand on the middle of my back to steady me, and i had to catch my breath. Goosebumps. Since he's so new to the city, i took the reins in planning everything...
