Something New - Chapter 4 / Party Night Part 1

Gabriella
TGIF. Thank God it's Friday. Me and Taylor were exhausted from the week we had, it was full of assignments and a lot of note taking… my hand really hurts. To let off some steam the two of us were going to club, we could get in because Taylor's older brother Derek owns it so we can get in straight away. We'd been there plenty of times before and we were always the most looked after customers ever. Derek would make sure we were on the guest list, get half price drinks all night, our own table (next to the dance floor) and he would call our cab himself for us to get home.

I hadn't been out in a while so I was excited to dance the night away with my best friend and maybe even find a cute boy to kiss a little. Me and Taylor had been single for so long it was just becoming depressing, I have been hugging my pillow at night instead of a man for two years and Taylor hasn't had a man in her life for at least a year and a half. She was desperate to find a man and I had no idea why she was struggling to find one, she was gorgeous, smart, funny, caring and she is just an amazing person.

After my thought I decided on a dress to wear. It was a sequin dress that was silver with bits of pink and nude in it with thin straps. I decided to pair the dress with my black, pointy heels that had straps around the ankle. With my hair I decided to put my hair down but plaited some hair at the front and brought it round to the back of my head and clipped it there. For make up I put on my foundation, blush, mascara, eye liner and my dark pink lip stick.

I put on my favourite perfume which was called Pink Sugar by Aquolina… I just loved it! I then grabbed my essentials for the night which consisted of my perfume, lip stick, money, phone, camera, keys and in case of emergency my fake ID. I put them in my little favourite clutch bag before going downstairs where my mom was sitting at the kitchen island reading a book and sipping a glass of wine "You going now?" She asked me.

"Yeah I'm going to meet Taylor at her place and then Derek is picking us up and taking us there" I explained to her.

"Ok well you girls have fun and… stay safe please" She said.

"We'll be fine. Derek will look after us, like always. I have my keys to get back in but I don't know if I'll just end up crashing at Taylor's" I told her.

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then" She said. I kissed her cheek before going out to my car. I got in and put on my favourite dance CD before pulling out of the drive way and started driving towards Taylor's house. I was so excited to finally get out and just… be free for the night.

I made it to the club with Taylor and Derek. He told the security staff that Taylor was his little sister and I was like a little sister to him and he wanted us safe, the security staff agreed to keep an eye on us to make sure we were ok. He then escorted us to the bar where he told the bar staff who we were and our drinks were half price all night, they were also told to keep an eye on us and call him if there were any problems. Then we were shown to our table which was a normal sized round table that was next to the dance floor, there was a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice and two glasses waiting for us.

As soon as we took our seats we opened the champagne and poured ourselves a large glass each. It was a good bottle of champagne and I was so glad that Derek had set all this up for us, I would have to remember to thank him for everything he's done. If it wasn't for Derek then me and Taylor probably wouldn't be out anywhere until we were 21 which wasn't for another 2 years… we were only 19.

Me and Taylor had another couple glasses of champagne before we decided that we were going to start on the cocktails, Taylor said she was going to sit at the table to keep an eye on our bags whilst I went to the bar. Taylor said she wasn't very bothered what drink I got her so I decided on my favourite cocktail.

Jelly Baby Cocktail is my favourite and that's what I was going to get for me and Taylor. The drink includes; Vodka, Blue Curacao, Malibu, Peach Schnapps, Pineapple Juice, Grenadine, Ice Cubes and Jelly Baby's on top. It was a good drink for someone with a sweet tooth… like me and Taylor.

People came and stood next to me at the bar as I was waiting to be served so I turned my head to have a little sneak peak at who it was. I was surprised to see the builder… Troy… standing there next to me with his friend.

He looked HOT! He had on a white shirt with a blazer on top of it, he also had on a pair of dark wash jeans with some black shoes, his white shirt was tight and you could see his defined chest "Hey Troy" I said.

He turned his head and smiled when he saw me "Hi Gabriella, how are you?" He asked me.

"I'm good thanks… how are you?" I questioned.

"Yeah I'm ok" I answered.

"You here alone?" He asked, obviously seeing that I was standing alone.

"No I'm here with my friend Taylor, she's sitting at our table keeping an eye on our things" I replied.

"Oh" He replied.

"Can I help you?" The barmaid asked me.

"Hi… could I get 2 Jelly Baby Cocktails please?" I questioned. She nodded at me went to go and make our cocktails, I turned back to Troy "Who are you here with?" I asked him.

"My buddy Chad" He answered and indicated to the guy with very big bushy hair next to him, he heard his name and turned to wave at him.

I waved back at him and smiled before turning back to Troy "Why don't you and Chad come and join us? It might be fun to hang out" I suggested to him and suddenly felt like a stupid fool. I sounded like a desperate school girl!

The barmaid came back with two glasses that had the cocktails in "Add two beers to that" Troy said taking his wallet out his pocket.

"I'll get our drinks" I said.

"Don't be silly. Go sit down, let me pay for the drinks and we'll come over and join you" Troy told me. I thanked him and picked the drinks up and walked back to the table where Taylor was sitting.

Troy
I couldn't help but look at Gabriella's hips as she walked away from me towards her table where he friend was sitting. I turned to Chad and smiled at him then the barmaid returned and handed us the beers and I handed her the money "We're going to go and sit with her and her friend" I told him.

"Is her friend hot?" He questioned.

"Have a look for yourself" I stated and indicated over to the table.

"Let's go sit down" He said and started walking over to the table, I shook my head and followed after him and the two of us sat down at the table. I took a seat next to Gabriella on one side of the table and Chad sat down at the other side of the table next to Gabriella's friend Taylor.

"So… how was your day?" I asked her.

"It was good… I had classes all day so I'm a little tired but the champagne sure woke me up and the cocktail is doing the job too" She said to me and we both chuckled a little "What about you? Where you working today?" She asked me.

"No I had the day off today but I'm working Sunday instead" I told her.

"Are you doing a big job?" She asked.

"No just a little job at an elderly woman's house. She's been a customer with us for a few years and is always calling us out. She searches her house to find things wrong with it and then she calls us… at least once every 2-3 months" I explained to her.

"Maybe she has a crush on you" She joked.

"Can you blame her?" I joked back and Gabriella giggled at me "Don't hear you denying it" I added.

"Maybe I can't blame her" She replied.

"I think that cocktail has gone straight to your head" I told her.

She giggled and took another sip of her cocktail. I took a quick glance over to the other side of the table and saw that Chad was practically sitting on Taylor's lap. He had his arm round the back of her chair and they were giggling about something, I turned back to Gabriella and I caught her staring at my chest. She looked up and blushed and picked up her drink and took another large sip from it.

That is the first half of this chapter, the second will be out in a couple of days. Troy and Gabriella are flirting already and they are not even drunk yet! What do you think will happen when they get really drunk and end up alone? Review, favourite and follow. :) x
