Chapter 23: How long should I resist?

~Aoife~

It's hard to know who is Xander, to me? One moment he is the worst, and the next moment he behaved like a perfect gentleman. He made me cry, and today he made me blush with his gaze.
His piercing gaze was telling some hidden story.
This was the first time I was not scared of him when I saw a glimpse of emotions, or should I say the first time I looked closely into his glossy brown eyes.
I loved the way he tried to hide my back with my hair. He is protective in his unique way. I really enjoyed dancing with him.
There is something in his touch that gave me chills. Whether I accept it or not, there is something strange in between us. His protective nature or possessiveness always surprised me.
He rolled his eyes when we were disturbed by Zareena. It felt like Zareena peeled him from my hand. I needed to control this emotional ride; after all, he is not mine. 
With a deep breath, I started dancing with Matt. He is my teddy; he made me laugh like anything. 
"How am I looking? Aoife,"  He said.
I raised my brows with confusion.
"This should be my lines," I replied.
"Tell me,"
"I am not looking at you. I am looking at the girl over there. She looks pretty in white, look," he cocked his head.
I slapped on his shoulder.
"Sometimes, it's good to hear some good words from a friend." I gruffed.
"That is what I am asking, am I looking handsome enough to impress that girl?" He replied.
"Yes, and what about me?" I grabbed his chin towards me.
"Oh, You are good. I am sure Xander gave you the compliment you deserve," He ignored me again.
I glared at him as my nostrils flared with fake anger.
"What? You are always beautiful to me. You already got your Damon, but I need to find my Elena. Right?" 
His genuine compliment made me laugh.
"What, Damon? Who do you think is my Damon?"
"Zach, he is looking at you since the time you danced with Xander." He raised his brow at me.
"Don't rush yourself. I met him yesterday." I pouted.
"Is it? I thought I can get rid of you now," He winked.
I stopped for a second with an Aww face.
"Am I so annoying to you?" I rolled my eyes.
"Nope, you are the best. How can I get rid of you? I was kidding." He hugged me.
"You are bad,"  I punched him, and this time harder.
"What's that for?" He groaned.
"For being an asshole," I whispered in his ear.
"Come here," I hugged him.
We hug each other, and the next moment we were staring at the girl in the white dress.
"She is beautiful," He said, kept his hand around my shoulder.
"She is; let's go talk to her." I started walking towards her.
Matt hastily grabbed my hand,
"I will handle her; you stay here," he patted on my hand and told me to sit with Zach.
I rolled my eyes and saw him approaching that girl.
I went to sit with Clara and Zach; they called for more drinks. 
Zach taught me how to take the shots, taste the salt, and suck the lemon till you feel its sour taste. 
We sat on the bar, and there we took five continuous shots of tequila.
It was awesome; I could feel a hot sensation growing through my chest and a kick in my head.
"Can I have more," I said.
They laughed at my desperate voice and puppy face.
"Are you sure?" Zach raised a brow.
"Let her drink, Zach." Clara raised another glass.
"Let's call it then," They screamed.
They finished their shots, but I stopped at one.
"Go, girl... let's go for three more," Clara cheered for me.
It was an awesome experience. My head was shaking a bit, and I felt like I am on cloud nine.
In between, my eyes saw Xander; he was busy with Zareena's family.
Their future son-in-law, a thought crossed my mind. A jealous whimper came out from me when I saw Zareena getting cozy with him. 
What am I thinking? And why? I shook my head. Is this tequila that made me think of him? 
"I would like to try something else," I raised my hand.
"Babe, I think you should wait. Eat something first," Zach insisted.
I looked at him with my heavy eyes.
"Good, get something for me," I replied.
He smiled and went towards the food counter.
In between that, I took two more shots of Vodka and headed myself to sit with the beautiful couple.
They were busy talking with Clara and Luka.
There we made a plan to go on a trip; youngsters trip.
"Would you like to join?" Raphael asked me.
"I am happy to join you," I excitedly answered.
"Me too," Zach replied from the back, holding a plate.
I extended my hand towards him; he sat next to me and gave me a bite.
We talked a bit and started our pillow fight. I can feel he was trying to get cozy with me.
"Do you wanna go out?" He whispered in my ears.
"I like it here. Why go out?" I replied.
"I want to show you something," he nibbled in my ears.
I agreed without thinking.
"Ok, I will be back in five minutes," I replied and took my phone.
I needed to pee urgently as my bladder was full.
With a dizzy head, I ran inside the house tried to find the bathroom. But the kids didn't allow me to use it as they were playing hide and seek, even they spill orange juice on my dress.
"Ahhh... What you guys did?" I gruffed.
With a confused mind, I ran upstairs.
I didn't know which room I entered, but it was filled with dim lights.
Finally, I found a bathroom. 
When I was done with my business, I checked my beautiful dress, which becomes a stained dress.
 I tried to wash it, but it didn't work.
With stomping feet, I opened the door, cursing those kids.
"They spoiled my dress. Ahh..." I screamed.
I was looking down at my dress; I hit something.
When I raised my eyes, it was Xander.
"Why are you here?" I said.
I could see his face was spinning. I tried to open my eyes harder.
"You are drunk," He rested his hand on the door, blocked my way.
"Let me go. Zach is waiting for me. He is taking me out." I blubber something as I jerked his hand.
"Where are you going with him at this time?" His tone changed.
"I don't know," I answered as I came out of the room.
He followed me
"You are not going anywhere with that jerk," He gruffed, and the next moment I found myself on his shoulder.
He scooped me on his shoulder and bought me to the same room.
"What are you doing? Let go of me,"
"Let go of me," I screamed. as I hit his solid back.
He didn't feel anything.
