Chapter 2: The meeting

Charlie and Clara arrived at the party. They paid the fee at the front table and grabbed some paint from the people manning it. They then found their group of friends and started talking to them. With the paint in hand Charlie was trying to get anyone to let her draw on them but no one in their group wanted her too.

“Fine since none of you are going to let me paint on them I’ll find another group of friends.” She told them while stomping away. Her friends just chuckled and rolled their eyes.

Has she was walking around she saw a group of guys. One tall guy stood out to her and she questioned if she should go over and talk to them. Just then she heard one of them calling out to her, “Hey girl, come here and tell us where you got that paint from.” So she walked over slowly.

“Thanks for coming over, I’m Archie and this is Michael and Silas. Do you mine telling us where you got the paint from?”

“I can tell you but I first need to paint someone” she replied to them, winking.

Archie was about to reply, but Silas cut in saying “Come closer and paint me” The guys just stood there mouths open wide in shock. They never expected him to say anything to a girl, let alone have her touch him.

Charlie came closer and asked “Where would you like me start?”

He held out his very built arm, pointing to his bicep and said “Start here and make a cool design.”

She put her little hands on his arms and her cheeks started to turn pink. She’s been close to other guys before but something about him was different. She couldn’t help but give his biceps a little squeeze while painting on them. He chuckled under his breath knowing she was impressed.

“Is that all you wanted?” She asked finishing up and trying to hide her red cheeks from him.

He just smiled and said “I need you write my number down on the front of my shirt so that everyone can see it.” He put one of his hands around her waist and pulled her closer. She blushed even harder feeling his hand on her body.

She put her hands on his chest and started to write the numbers has he said them. Once he finished talking she tried to pull away but he kept his hand on her and used his strength to keep her close.

“Charlie get over see and start dancing with me! I need my partner!” She looked and saw Clara waving to her calling her over. She then looked back at Silas, put her hands back on his chest and pushed him away with all her might. Once she was free she ran away not looking back because she was worried he would see her burning cheeks and her cute, shy smile.

The guys looked back at him and Michael said, “ you let her get away easily.”

Silas just smiled in the direction she ran off too and repeated “So her names Charlie...Interesting.”

————————

Silas drove into the parking lot and told his two friends, “Listen, I will only say this once. We will stay for 1 hour and then we will leave. I have an important meeting tomorrow and I refuse to be out too late.”

Archie and Michael laughed and just looked at each other and nodded. There is no way I’m leaving after 1 hour. I got to meet chicks somehow. They both thought.

When walking in everyone noticed the group of guys and looked down. No one was going to stop Silas and his crew from walking in without paying. Since they didn’t stop at the front table, they were never able to pick up their own paint.

“Do you guys notice that these people have paint to draw on each other. Did we miss something?” Michael said turning around to face them. Silas looked up and noticed Charlie walking closer to them. He then looked at Archie and demanded “Call her over here and ask her about the paint.” Of course Archie listen and called her over while thinking to himself, why would Silas ask for a girl to come over to them.

“Thanks for coming over, I’m Archie and this is Michael and Silas. Do you mine telling us where you got the paint from?”

“I can tell you but I first need to paint someone” she replied to them, winking.

Archie was charmed at her boldness and wanted to flirt some more but Silas cut him off. Both of the guys looked at Silas surprised he would let anyone get so close to him. What is this guy thinking and what’s that sly smile he’s showing. Should we worry. They thought to themselves.

Silas had to cut off Archie before he said anything that might take his girls attention. There is no way I will let her look at anyone but me. She doesn’t seem to recognize who she is standing in front of though, he thought to himself.

After finishing his arm, he needed to feel her closer and was afraid she might walk away. So, he put his hand on her waist. Silas saw her cute face turn pink and smiled at how attractive she was to him. He wanted to make her look at him so he could see her better but he changed his mind. He refused to let anyone else get a glimpse of her expression.

He had her write his number on his shirt, hoping she might memorize it. He knew that once he was done saying the words she would pull away. So he held her waist, scared of the coldness his hand will feel once he let’s go of her.

Silas watched her closely has she looked back to hear who was calling her. So her names Charlie. I’ve never heard a name so charming before. As he was stuck in his thoughts he felt her push away from him and let her. He didn’t want to scare her away by being to clingy to soon. So Silas just watched with a smile on his face has she ran towards her friend. His friends stared at him wide eye since they never before seen him touch a girl so tenderly.
