The girls giggled as they walked down the road, arms interlinked. Jess and Leena were gossiping about a fellow student, Rosie smiled from time to time. She really didn't fancy being here.
As much as she was enjoying the whole uni experience, it had been the hardest year of her life. Thankfully she only had a month left before she could go back home to Leopards Den for the whole summer and hopefully fall back in love with the job she was training for. She'd made great friends in Jess and Leena, they'd had loads of fun together but it was hard sometimes to adjust. She was still a British girl, the time she'd spent in South Africa she'd been at home with the family, she hadn't experienced being a teenager here. But she was learning, she was getting to know the music and the culture, the night life and the problems. It was just a slow process.
They soon got into the Student Union, the girls headed straight for the bar and Rosie reluctantly agreed to knock down a few shots before they hit the dance floor.
Leena chanted along to the song that was blaring out of the speakers, Jess attempted too. Rosie had no idea, an old school South African classic apparently.
"Come on!" Jess cheered attempting to wave Rosie's arms up in the air
"I got no idea" Rosie laughed nervously
"So! Who cares?" Jess encouraged, the song began to fizzle out anyway
"Ah damn it ended!" Rosie joked with a sarcastic manner
"Yay you know this one!" Leena beamed as Cee-lo Greens 'Forget you' began to play
"Sure do!"
The girls continued to enjoy the night, dancing along to some more familiar songs (by Rosie's standards anyway). However they shortly decided to take a break and head back to the bar.
"Can I get a vodka and coke?" Rosie asked the barman
"Yeah sure" he replied. Rosie began to rummage through her bag for her purse and noticed something was missing.
"Shit where's my phone?" she frowned and kept rummaging, realising it wasn't there. "Guys have you seen my phone?"
"No sorry" Leena said, Jess too shook her head
"Damn it!"
"Hi sorry I found this" a husky yet mellowing voice said behind her. She turned to see a young guy talking to the barman. Her eyes fell to the object lying in his hand.
"Oh! That's mine!" she smiled relieved noticing her phone. Rosie held out her hand to him and looked up.
He looked up at her, slightly confused. Their eyes met.
Her stomach flipped. It was him.
"Thank you" she managed, after an awkward pause of staring at him. She couldn't believe it. She'd noticed him all over uni. His dusty blonde hair and his gorgeous blue eyes. The way she'd seen him laugh with his friends, how he'd strode ahead of her in campus. How he was stood there in front of her. Right now.
"That's ok" he smiled back, he too noticed some small kind of attraction
"34 rand please" the barman interrupted their train of thought
"Oh yeah thanks" Rosie reverted her attention back to him and began to get some money out.
"Let me get this" the guy stopped her
Rosie frowned slightly and then felt a blush creep across her cheeks
"What? No it's me who should be thanking you. Erm what would you like?" she asked awkwardly.
"No really. I want to" He smiled and put a touching hand on her arm.
Rosie felt tingles down her spine and a smile creep wider on her face, she stared into his glistening eyes.
"Thank you" she whispered.
Leena and Jess caught sight of the situation and raised eyebrows at each other. Jess giggled catching Rosie's attention and she turned to see her.
Jess wiggled her eyebrows at her, Rosie rolled her eyes and turned back to the guy.
"You a first year?" he asked her
"Yep" Rosie smiled taking a sip of her drink.
"Cool, that's the best year" he smiled and she melted away into his charm.
Jess and Leena soon left Rosie at the bar as she continued to chat away to 'mystery guy' as the girls had named him. Rosie could feel it, inside her. She was falling for him. Everything he said, his soft yet husky tones pulled her in. And his eyes, as she spoke, were locked onto hers.
A/N: Not happy with this :/
