I hate all guys.

1 : Goddamn, his eyes

Eliza's POV

So, this year is about having fun, making new friends and finding love. I looked over to Shale, my best-friend/roommate. She looked stunning with her photogenic smile and her cute outfit. 

I turned to the mirror. I looked pretty hot as well. I was wearing a black camisole with a camel suede skirt and some black heels. My makeup was almost nothing, but I did make sure to apply a generous amount of lip gloss.  

"Do you think my shoes go with the outfit?" I asked Shale. 

"Girl, with that top on, no one will be looking down at your shoes." she replied. 

"Hahah, wow,  but Shale, come on, we have really have to leave now", I said. 

"Okay, okay. Just have another shot with me" she responded flashing her doe eyes at me. 

We both already had three shots of tequila before even reaching the party. Oh well, guess I have to make that four now. 

After our shots, we headed out. 

***********************************************************

We reached our friend's birthday party. Looking outside of the taxi, it seemed like Vincent has booked the whole club. Though, it was a Tuesday evening, but that guy sure knew how to throw a party. Near the entrance, I was feeling kind hyped for tonight. I couldn't wait to get in and just get on the dance floor. 

So, a side note about me, I love dancing. It makes me feel euphoric. Specially, when I am tipsy and its the "grinding into the crowd" or "drunk and up on the stage" kind of dancing. I almost feel high, like I can just close my eyes and forget about everything. Just get lost in all the music, lights, unknown people. 

We walked in. My searched for Vincent. Meanwhile, Shale was greeted by the guy she was dating, Danny. Danny was so mad in love with her. Everyone could see it. She also knew that but wouldn't admit that she started to like him a little bit more every time he was with her. Danny gave me a hug and then they both started talking. 

Really not wanting to be the third wheel for once, I dodged out and went straight to the bar where Vincent stood chatting up a blonde. Vincent was the biggest flirt I had ever seen. Before I met him, I was so convinced that I had to be the queen of all flirts but this guy was something else. I came up and hugged him, whispering happy birthday in his ear. I smiled at the blonde girl, briefly introducing myself to her.

"Thanks Eli. Btw, you look gorgeous." 

"Hahah, you say that to me way to often Vince. Come on, have a birthday shot with me."

Vince asked the bartender to  line up the tequilas for me, him and blondee. 

"So, how are you doing? You enjoying the party?" he asked me. 

"Yeah, really good job. But I really wanna dance. Come with me. I am sure your friend (blonde girl) would love to join" and with that I grabbed Vince and he his friend, as we headed to the dance floor. 

After what felt like ages of dancing and mingling with people, I came back to the bar. The bar was slightly secluded from the main party so a lot less people were here. It was almost like stepping out and taking a breather. I tried to grab the bartender's attention for some water but Jesus, he was taking his sweet time. He was talking to the guy two seats from me. It seemed like they were good friends. Normally, I would wait but all the energy in me just acted by itself. I went over and waved in the bartender's face. 

"If you are done taking with your friend, can I please get some water ? "

He smirked at me or his friend, I couldn't really tell. 

"Sure." he said reluctantly.

He got me the water and starting to attend the new influx of people that had just arrived. As I drank my water, I started being slight conscious of the bartender's friend eyeing me up. Whatever. 

"You look great" he said

"Thanks" I replied in a bitchy way. Rude of me? I know but sometimes, alcohol does that to me.

He chuckled. "How do you know Vincent?"

"Just a friend. We met during a course. We were in the same group. He really is a chill guy"

"Yeah, I know. Do you want a drink?"

I did an internal eye-roll. God, how have I not yet eye-rolled my self into another dimension. 

"Actually, you know what? Sure. I would love some bourbon." 

"Oh, okay." he said as he seemed a bit taken aback and impressed at the same time. 

I was waiting for him to use his friendship status with the bartender to get us the drinks faster but instead he just lifted himself enough to reach over to some ice. He grabbed the vodka that was on the counter and poured two vodka and soda concuction. Then he started grabbing ingredients that were on his reach like lemon and mint leaves and dumped them in the drink. 

My facial expression was confusion and horrified at the same time. That drink is going to taste really DIY.

"So, until Kevin, the bartender has time to come over, we will have to do with, love. "

As he kept the drinks in front of me, I started noticing his face. He was really good looking. And fit. And different. I mean, who makes a drink before buying a drink. He had such a charming smile when he looked at me. I saw his eyes clearly for the first time. I don't know what it was, maybe lust but his eyes had a sparkle and a depth. I couldn't put my finger on it but I had never noticed someone's eyes like that. 

"Thanks." I said while a slight blushed smile creeped on my face. "So, whats your name?"

"Cole. "

"Cole? Haha, that is such a Disney name. But, I mean, its a great name. "

He laughed a little. "And yours?"

"Eliza. So how do you know Vincent?"

We continued our chat. It was like any other guy I would flirt with at a party. Same routine, make a couple of jokes, be flirty and charming and cute. And then, eventually, I would get bored and move on. Only this time, Shale found me and had kissed me. As she started confessing how much she loved me, Danny followed and whispered in my ear, 

"She is a bit gone. I am gonna take her home."

"I will come with you. I am still a little bit tipsy" I turned around to Cole who looked slightly amused by the whole situation, "I will see you around. Thanks for the drink."

We arrived home and Danny took Shale to her room and no doubt, stayed the night. While, I went back to my room. For some reason, I was still slightly intrigued by Cale. Or Caleb, or Cole or whatever his name was. I could just see the image of his eyes and his smile in that moment. It was so clear to me. Goddamn, his eyes. They were a chocolate brown with a sparkle that almost made me feel beautiful. just as I tried to get my mind of him, my eyes started to close.
