Her eyes met mine, she looked sexy in the place's disco lights. The more I continued to look at her the more an eager to talk to her more and more took my body into captivity. Her beauty was driving me crazy.
"Will you guys excuse me?" I requested Jase and Tame.
"That will not happen today, come on brother this is what you do most of the time." Jase complaint.
"Today we choose to disagree", Tame looked at me directly to my eyes to make sure I understood what they were telling me and that today their words meant action and there was no place for an argument. I felt disappointed and betrayed in my own decriminalized way. I couldn't understand the main reason they wanted me to continue sitting with them while someone wanted me so badly on the opposite corner.
"Come on guys, let's be gentlemen and be our brother's keepers." I begged them to let me go.
"That's what we are doing", Jase spit out. "We aren't trying in anyway whatsoever to dictate you and your bedroom matters but we had agreed that today was our day, only the three of us." He finished saying and picked the bottle of Brandy to refill his glass.
"You only have two options, one invite her to our table and two invite her two friends too." Jase made it simpler and difficult at the same time.
Simple because it was just a matter of pronouncing four simple words, 'come with your friends' and difficult because her two friends had company already. So I just stood there not knowing what to do first. The more I stood there, looking at both parties, as Tame and Jase enjoyed their drinks and at the same enjoying the position of dilemma they had pushed me into, the more I was getting mad and the more my mind was feeling over-worked for trying the best to figure out the best way possible to make both parties satisfied at the same level of agreement.
The more I was willing not to disappoint any, the more the mission became as difficult as hell. I wanted to be with her and my friends wanted to be with me as per my promise to them. But the condition wasn't that easy and they knew it very well but they went ahead to do it. Thanks to my genius mind for after few minutes, it had cooked an idea and I was total percent sure that it was going to work. I knew how to be a gentleman and now it was time to act or be acted upon.
"Excuse me guys", I told Tame and Jase as I made my way toward the other table of interest. It was not easy to maneuver through the crowds and drunkards who were dancing, arguing and swaying from side to side inside the club but I had no otherwise.
Although it took me less than a minute for place wasn't that big, but by the time I got to the table, I was sweating, one because of pushing to find a way between crowds and the fear of rejection. I had the idea in my mind but I couldn't come up with the perfect words to use to convince these beautiful and gorgeous ladies to follow my footsteps back to our table.
I remembered my slogan from my grandmother's mouth before she died and gained enough courage that by the end all will be well and I will be at a blissful suffice.
"All will be well." These we're my grandmother's last words as she took her last breath with her hand clasped with mine at her hospital. I watched her travel to the journey of no return as my eyes were flooded with tears of remorse and all of me went to a certain state of poignant. I could not calculate my next step but all I could hear were her words, "all will be well my child". And from that day her last words became my slogan and kept me moving even during delicate times, I knew she was with me.
"All will be well", these four words kept on repeating themselves inside my mind as I tried my best to avoid the ten eyes looking at me waiting for me to say something. I stood beside their table and nearly collapsed as I stood behind one of the guys and opposite to my crush. I was trying to choose wisely the best words to say first without causing any problem to my unplanned pleasantry. This was my illest stound ever, my eyes were focused on one point, their table but from my point of view, I could see her cleavage as shivers went through me and an ilk cold sweat went down my spine.
I had lost any courage whatsoever to look directly to any of them specifically my crush who was the main reason for my infatuated state. I have never known why she ever caused me a personal disaster of trauma and confusion beyond negative zero percent up to date. I hated myself for not preparing myself with the most sweet and romantic words, with a certain arousal of feeling, may be even it meant going through the Songs of Solomon or may be copying and pasting the words from Romeo to Juliet as he walked back to meet Juliet at their first night, at least it would have done me better.
"You are taking long more than expected, just man up and spit it out." One of the guys said.
"Come on Jesse, you don't have to be disrespectful", my crush said.
"Thank you", I managed to say wishing I had asked her name earlier. At least I could had added her name after my thank you. She smiled to me as a sign of telling me its okay and everything will be fine.
"I am not trying to convict your new friend dear, just that we all know what he wants", the same guys said again. This guy must be a noisemaker and the jealousy type. I thought.
"That doesn't mean he is wrong and again the last time I checked you don't own us", a brown lady seated next to him said as she looked at me. "I am Linn", she told me giving me a smile that tingled my inner body with a certain intense of happiness and joy the same time stretching her hand to shake mine.
