Ila POV:

The party Evening...

"Ila Dixit..!!You are taking forever to come out now. We are already late..! Make it fast. Will you?" Alex called from outside, waiting at the parking while I was giving finishing touches to my makeup. It wasn't too loud but at the same time appealing. I took a final glance at myself. I was looking perfect with a light brown cocktail dress that was just below my knees and showed my curves perfectly .Sam helped me to make my hair a little more wavy and it was loose, hanging up to my shoulders. My hands were sleeveless and my neck was bare. It wasn't much revealing but I thought it gave me that kind of a hot look. It also made me look pretty at the same time.

"I am ready-" I stepped out of the house.
"What on earth made you ta-ke s-o lo-ng" He looked at me from top to bottom and he became speechless. "You look HOT! Finally." he sighed.
"What? Can't you just confine that to something like pretty or beautiful?"
"Ha ha I thought you are very poor in grooming yourself. Guess I was wrong. I've seriously seen enough of your casuals. Thak god you are out of it tonight."
"Hm thank Sam for that."

"Oh.So I wasn't wrong then" He grinned.
I narrowed my eyes and gave him one of my 'whatever' kind of look.
We got into the car and headed to the party. "You are HOT" he winked at me. "Stop saying that!" Our arguments went on throughout the way and we finally reached our destination. It was just about 20min drive.

After parking the car we headed together inside. At the entrance Alex shoe got hooked up with the main door. I stopped by his side to help him. He was jerking his leg out of it. He rested his hand on my shoulder in order to take help but his force over his leg was so much that he accidentally pushed me ahead. I was pushed over to the entrance and with that the spot light was on me and before I could react people started

"Happy b'day to you...Happy b'day to you...Happy b'day dear Ale-"

They stopped as they looked at me. There were tiny colorful lights sparkling above the floor in the dark with the spot light on me, balloons traveling all around, and candels in every one's hands as they moved forward singing. It could have been a perfect surprise for him.
God this was really embarrassing. I have ruined it all.Shit.Does anything could get worse than this?
"I-Am So-sorry" I said being extremely mortified.

"Ha ha ha" Alex came behind me laughing. He finally got rid of the door over there.
"It's alright guys I am with her. She is my friend. A very good friend of mine" he wrapped his hand around my shoulder tight. After a moment Allyson came forward from the crowd, came straight to Alex looking deep into his eyes, while he took his hand away from me. She came and gave him a tight hug and came close to his ear as if she was about to whisper something. He lowered his head in order to hear while she shouted aloud-"Happy B'day..!!" right in his ear.
"Jesus!!" he exclaimed rubbing his ear as he was dragged by his group of friends into celebrations.

I went inside, there was music playing and a few were dancing at the center, while some others were at their drinks. I looked at the people dancing. They were really enjoying themselves and the music was great. I took a few steps backwards looking at them while I bumped into someone making his glass of wine fall all over his jacket.
Oh god! What's wrong with me? Why am I ruining everything today?
I thought to myself as I turned around and tried to wipe the wine away from his jacket with the tissues in my hand-

"I am very sorry, I didn't notice you we-re be-hind-"

My words couldn't come out any more as I lifted my head up to meet my gaze with his. It was Martin!!

He was staring right into my eyes and our eyes were locked. I kept staring into his deep blue eyes. God! They are one of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen and how come I didn't notice them all these days?! That's because I have seen him drunk almost every time and this is the first ever time that I am seeing him not drunk. I am observing his features actually for the very first time. He has got his brown hair that's messy always and pink lips that made his face extremely charming. He was wearing a casual t-shirt and a black blazer over it that made him look Hot. He really looked good and handsome when he is not drunk.

And here I am staring and adoring the one person who have been annoying me all the time and made my life almost a living hell. What's wrong with me?

Then someone cleared their throat from behind and it was Alex. We immediately looked away from each other. I ran a hand down my hair while my eyes still longing to stare into his. "Umm can I take her away for a moment, If you don't mind" Alex grinned as he approached and wrapped his hand around me. He then grabbed me away from Mart while I still wanted to stand there, stare at him, and don't know what else I wanted to do but my heart skipped a beat at his presence and I was reluctant to go away from him. What on earth is wrong with me??

"What-what are you trying to do?" I asked him while he grabbed me to a corner.
"Just stay here and talk to me..." What? Why? Where the questions that I wanted to ask him but his concentration was completely on Allyson who was trying hard not to stare at us from a distance but still looking at us every now and then from the corner of her eyes.
"Just like we did it in the store the other day..." he added still looking at Allyson over my shoulder. She definitely would have thought that he was looking at me but actually he was observing her.

"Alright." I sighed and stayed there while my eyes kept rolling from Mart to Alex. Every now and then I took a glance at Mart to see if he is still staring and every time I find his eyes were not away from us.

Mart POV:

The party was very well-organized and I have planned a hell lot of things to keep Ila away from Alex. But as soon as I saw her at the entrance in the spot light I was spechless.God! She was looking really Hott.More than that she was pretty, beautiful an-and gorgeous. I am actually out of my words to define the way she looked.She was amazing. Everything that was in my brain so far just disappeared and the only thing that remained is her. She was extremely adorable and has this innocence in her.Her smile was pure and injective. I kept my eyes on her while she walked around the place greeting few people, smiling one of the best smiles I have ever seen.

She was watching the people dancing and she moved backwards. I was right behind her. I could have moved away from there avoiding that bump but no. I wanted it. I wanted her to be that close to me. I kept staring into her eyes and they were god damn lovely. And the most amazing part is that she stared back into my eyes. I thought some kind of connection existed between us and the rest of the world was just out of my thoughts. Right now I wanted to be with her more than anything else.

And then Alex came into the picture distracting us and taking her away from me; but I didn't stop staring at her. The fact that every now and then she caught me staring didn't even bother my ego.No matter what my eyes were not listening to me.

Then I saw she was asked for a dance by some guy in the party and she gave her hand blushing. Why would she do that? But she did go into the dance floor and started moving to the rhythm of music.God she danced great. Her moves were extremely attractive and her expressions were adorable. But the only thing bothering me was who is this random guy? She was talking, laughing and giggling with him and most importantly she was blushing looking at him. Why?
She is really driving me nuts now. I've had enough of her nonsense. I should talk to her and clear it off. She is really getting me on to my nerves.

Ila POV:

Alex and I had been talking there for a while. We talked about random topics. It was like we never get enough of our usual talks. Then I heard a not so familiar voice from behind.

"Can I get dance with you?"

I turned around and almost had my heart jump inside my chest as I met my gaze with one of the most amazing face I have ever seen. It's Franklin!! He was really handsome. His eyes were sparkling with that smile. He has got cute dimples on his cheeks. He was cute and different from what I see him daily in the college.
"Sure" I blushed automatically and gave my hand in his.
Then I turned to face Alex who was giving one of his usual smirks at me. He leaned forward and whispered into my ear "How did you like my surprise?" I widened my eyes. "Go have fun" He gestured me to go and blinked at me. Unbelievable!! I thought to myself.

We went to the dance floor and started moving to music together.
"I am one of Alex's close friends." He started the conversation and I was surprised for what he said.
"Your moves are great" he exclaimed.
"Thank you" I blushed and smiled.
"Ila right?"
"Yes. Franklin?" I answered him.
"Oh you know me." He smirked and there was a dimple forming.
"You are quite famous you know." I stated.
"Ahh.and you are much talked about among my friends."
"Really?" I blushed again.
"Yeah.your theater work, dance and stuff. It's pretty famous. You have got a long way to go Ila." He complimented. Then we kept dancing for a while and talked all about college and the random topics. I was having a good time.

Just then a hand grabbed me away from Franklin and I saw it was Mart!

"What-" before I could speak anything he caught hold of my wrist and started pulling me away from the crowd, away from party hall, outside and then into the adjoining park. I tried to get my hand off from him but he was just too strong.He just kept pulling me out of the party into the park and then he stopped and twirled me around leaving my wrist with an intense force. That made me face him. There we are, standing in the middle of the park. It was dark and shivering cold. But my blood was boiling inside me and I was furious at his act. Just few moments earlier I thought he was adorable and may be even good. Guess I was completely wrong. He is a complete jerk.
' what the hell is he doing?'

"What the fucking hell are you doing in there?" He yelled at me with his cold eyes staring right into my eyes.
"That was supposed to my question. What the hell are you doing.Why did you get me here all the way?" I threw my hands in the air and gave him back.
"That was not the answer to question..." He grunted his teeth. "Who the bloody hell is that guy with you?" He came closer and looked furiously into my eyes.
My jaw dropped at his question. What is he up to? What does that question mean? What does he want from me? I was speechless completely unaware of how to react to the sudden change in his behavior.
"Answer me damn it" He caught hold of my shoulders with both his hands and shaked me urging to speak out
.
In a situation like this what will any one do? Jerk his hands away from me? Slap him hard for his arrogance towards me, run way from there avoiding him. Not bother to answer him and give him my attitude?
Well I haven't done anything from all those. All I did was stand there and wonder how to react. I probably didn't understand his problem nor mine. I didn't get what was going on inside me. Was it anger or shock or was I hurt..? I don't know. Not a single word came out of my mouth and my jaw dropped looking at his sudden reaction. He looked furious and I could see those eyes that I've thought to be that most gorgeous and beautiful a while ago turned from ocean blue to blood red while he narrowed his eyes and bent forward to look into my eyes.

"Is he your new boyfriend? Oh then you already left Alex huh? What kind of woman are you. You stay in my house, flirt with my friend, hang around him, and use him for everything and now when you find a better option you are ready to ditch him? What were you doing in there? Moving and dancing with that guy. Now you want to use him again? Why? What are you up to? Money? Sex? What? You are such a slu-"

He stopped when he looked into my eyes. I have already started shedding tears. I was hurt. I was really hurt. How can he think of me like that?

"Slut?" I completed the word for him. My voice broke. It was hard to control my emotions any longer. He had been enough rude to me.

"Yes I am. Do you have a problem with that?" I was sobbing now.
"Why the hell are you bothered about everything that I do?" Tears didn't stop rolling down my eyes.

It was his turn to become speech less. I didn't understand his expression. It was changed suddenly. The cold and furious look vanished form his face completely and he was staring me with a weird expression. I was shedding tears continuously and couldn't speak anymore.I was hurt.

Then he stepped closer. He stretched his hand and pointed his finger to one of my tears. He approached to, may be wipe it while I jerked his hand away.
"Just leave me alone..!!" I yelled at him. He didn't move but kept staring at me. I turned around and ran from there.

Mart POV:

I was furious. I was mad at her. But why? I don't have an answer for my own question. Why does anything related to her should bother me? What if she dances with him? What does it have to do with me whether she really likes or ditches him or anyone? First it was Alex and then this guy? If it was Alex who I was bothered about earlier then what now? This guy, whom I certainly don't know at all...!!?

No. Its she. It's only her that I am concerned or bothered about. I am worried about her. Yes this could be the possible fact. This is not happening at all. I can not mess up with my own life like this. This is just ridiculous.

But what did I just do? I have been such a jerk! I made her cry. The moment I saw tears building in her eyes, I became speechless and all I could think was about her and her tears, nothing else mattered. It was hard to watch her cry.Her tears were stabbing my heart to peices. She was crying and sobbing and the only reason was me..! It was me who hurt her. I was the only reason for her tears. I hate this feeling inside me. I was feeling so empty right now. I was the reason for her lovely smile to disappear. She was smiling and happy inside with whom ever it is and it was indeed feeling great to watch her smile and happy. But I have to ruin it, make her cry and destroy everything.

What's wrong with me? Why am I being such jerk towards her? I just hate this burning sensation inside my heart now. I hate it. I hate myself for hurting her so much.

Then suddenly a thought struck me just like a passing cloud.
'She reminds me of someone in my past..!!...?.'
