First MeetingFenton looked around the noisy crowded club, this really was not his scene and he felt awkward here, but it was his birthday and his friends all wanted to take him out for what they called a good time, and he never was very good at saying no to people even when sometimes maybe he should. He was not much of a dancer, or a drinker really, and despite the fact that he looked like he could fit right in with the typical jocks, with his broad shoulders and a good build, he was really an easy going low key guy not involved in any particular athletics. He would spend some time at the gym now and then which could account for his toned muscles, but he spent most his time alone, and rather enjoyed reading he always felt out of place in social settings. He was in fact rather shy by nature and never knew how to approach people or just what to say. "Hey this is going to be great" He heard Jake say just behind him, "Come on lets get started" Stephen piped in as they began to urge him forward deeper into the club, there was little he could do but follow in their wake though he knew they were here more for themselves then him, it was just another excuse for them to party, he did not really hold it against them. As they all began to make a bee line for the bar his low cast gaze could not help but to catch sight of her and he lifted his head a bit, as his gaze settle upon the woman, sitting alone at one of the tables. He was suddenly stricken by the fact that she appeared to him the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and it seemed impossible she should be alone, he felt rooted in place losing track of everything else around him as he just watched her while she sat seemingly oblivious to the club scene around her, just sipping a drink of some sort of another. "Hey, man, there you are"¦..what happ...." Jake’s words were cut off when his gaze followed the direction of Fenton’s and he gave a knowing grin before jostling Fenton just in the arm. "Go on, go talk to her." Fenton looked up to Jake surprised at his words and reluctantly shook his head. "I could not do that"¦.I wouldn’t know what to say" It was not long after before Stephan and Tony doubled back to join up with him. "Ah just walk up there and say hey" Stephan piped as they would give him a shove in her direction. He stumbled forward and then paused a moment glancing back to his friends as they egged him on and he turned back to the woman before he started forward thinking to himself that he must be crazy, it would not be long before he found himself just standing at the table, though all power of speech escaped him. Erila tilted her head up as her gaze fell upon the man whom now stood just at her table and she just watched him for a moment, as the strands of her dark hair fell around her face. She could see his soft brown eyes darting around lost and confused, and a soft laugh escaped her lips, though truly she found it charming and even refreshing, at least he did not come strutting up to her with some cheap one liner from a B-rate movie. "Yeah, I am not one much for these places either" She would say as if they had been in the middle of a discussion. "Eh"¦.sorry"¦.I just"¦" He glanced back a moment to where his friends had formally been to find no trace of them now, they had abandoned him to tend to their own amusements and he looked back to the woman once more, "I saw you sitting here all alone"¦:" he gave a shrug of his shoulders and looked down to his feet feeling about now like he was only ten years old again and hating himself for it, wishing he could be more like Jake, and the others. Erila pushed back her chair as she came to stand up turning to face him "Would you like to dance?" He snapped his head up upon hearing her words, at first wondering if he had heard right, did she? She couldn’t have, could she? "I"¦.I am not really much of a dancer"¦" Before he could say anything else in the way of excuse she had grabbed one of his hands and turned to head toward the dance floor. "Don’t worry about it, just have fun, come on" He found himself following her lead and wondering if this all really was happening as his gaze flashed over the other dancers that crowded around upon the floor before looking back to her as she would find them a spot and she turned around to face him. As she began to the rhythm of the music, at first he would only stand there and watched her transfixed by the fluid movements of her body, the way the material of her blouse seemed to move against her as her body twisted and shimmied, and her hair flew freely about her face, which lit up with laughter, her eyes bright and shining, he felt as if he was cast in a spell which was suddenly broken when she came to speak, her voice penetrating into his mind and calling him forth back to reality. "Just move, don’t worry about anything else, just do what feels right." He suddenly realized he had simply been standing there staring at her the whole time and would quickly take her up one her advice as he began to move, though a bit awkward he had no doubt, to the music. "So what are you doing here?" Fenton would come to ask remembering her first words to him. She laughed softly as she moved a bit closer to him, he wondered if it was just so they could hear each other better over the noise, or something else. "Research, and you?" Her response had conjured up a few questions in his mind, as he glanced around a moment before looking back over to her. "It is my birthday"¦.friends wanted to take me out"¦and well I do not know where they went off to now"¦..so you writing a book or something?" She moved to slip her arms just over his shoulders lightly as her body continued to move closer to his own as her eyes looked into his own and she could not help but what he thought to be a somewhat mysterious smile. "It’s for a project you might say" After the current song had come to and end and the next was just getting started, she would slip away from him as she took a couple steps back. "I should be going, it was nice meeting you though" Erila turned and began to slip away though before she could vanish, perhaps forever from him he suddenly blurted out, in a fashion uncharacteristic of him, "I would like to see you again" She paused and looked back over her shoulder for a and laughed softly as a quick smile flashed upon her lips and then she turned and was gone. The rest of the night passed as sort of a blur to Fenton as he could not get her out of his mind, and it suddenly occurred to him he never even got her name. How would they find each other again? Later that night, after his friends had dropped him off back at his apartment, and he was getting ready for bed, with her essence still lingering over him, and no memory of anything else, he found a piece of paper folded up in one of his pockets, upon which a number was inscribed and somehow he felt something monumental was about to happen in his life. 1:38 AM - 4/3/2007 - post comment
