A/N: I made this story using present tense, and this story was made based on a cool song by Cassidy Haley's Whiskey in Church. Kinda suck, but please review so I can make the better one!
I went downtown to the bars
Looking for God in the Jack Daniels
Will I find him in a stranger’s arms tonight?
The only reason why Giana comes here is nothing but one: Get Randy Keller being her lover tonight, at school’s autumn party at his school’s gym. She took all her poise, and stepped into the gigantic gym.
Randy got broke up to his girlfriend, Tanya Houston. And now, he’s a single.
The music’s booming out, and people dance like crazy. Thanks for the school’s principal; Mrs. Jeanne to choose the best DJ in the town to rock the party off. No booze here and no drugs. Just music and dancing to let the student’s stress level off.
She look for Randy through the crowd, she can’t find him. The crowd’s way too dense. So she walks to the party’s mini café, where some couple of student chatted, drink some fruit juice, punch, root beer, soda, and other beverage there. There’s no empty table but one. She sighed, and walks toward that table.
Then a waiter asked her. “Do you want something to drink?”
“Yeah, Mocha milkshake, please” Giana answered, force a smile to get formed on her thin lips.
“In a minute” that waiter walk away just a second after those words come out from his lips.
She sighed, scanned the crowd to look for the boy she look for.
And she found him, dances with Tanya Houston, his ex-girlfriend. Tears welling in her eyes.
Walked on in, checked out the scene
Wasn't looking good, were you looking at me?
“Hey, uh…”
Giana lifts up her head, staring at that boy. Yousef Paddleton, her classmate. “Hi Yousef. What’s wrong?”
“Can I sit there? Looks like that’s the only one which is free here” he pointed at a seat beside her.
Giana sighed, remembered that she wants Randy to sit there. “Sure”
“Thanks!” he cheered. Then the same waiter come and asked the beverage he wants. He chose Dr. Pepper, the stickiest soda ever.
Both of them didn’t say anything for some brief minutes. They just occasionally sip at their drinks and stare at dancing crowd. Giana tried not to look at Randy and his ex-back-into-lover.
Giana wants to go home and forget all her battling to get Randy and look for another guy. But she stays here, looks at the party craze and listens to the electronic music instead.
And she could feel somebody’s look at her now. She turns her head fast to Yousef, and the boy quickly turns to look at the crowd. Giana could sworn she saw him BLUSHING.
Well I could see the devil in you
But I was looking for God so I pushed on through
There’s something odd on Yousef since recent two; or three weeks. He always tried to getting closer and closer with her. But why?
Some school paparazzi gossiping about his crush to Giana and as used to; she’s always thinking those all are nothing but only jokes they made.
But probably it’s true, and honestly she couldn’t resist Yousef. She likes him, a lot. Probably more than her love to Randy.
What? No! All she wants is Randy, Randy, and Randy! She doesn’t want anyone else. But heart said the reverse.
Singing, Oh my God, my God, my God…
Oh my God, my God, my God…
This is not true! No! She loves Randy! She wants Randy! But Randy never loves her, and the only one who attracted to her is Yousef Paddleton. And she likes him too. Just like.
“No… I love Randy” her brain repeat those words like a mantra, but her heart said, “Yousef loves me, and I love him. Randy never know me, and he will never could be mine”
Confusing.
Well you could be alright by me
But then again so could he?
Her heart argument win, she smiled slightly, look to the boy who sits beside her. He’s so beautiful, actually. His messy brunette hair, his eyeliner-framed grey eyes, his strong jaw, and thin lips…
He’s way better than Randy.
“Yousef?”
“Uh… yeah?” Yousef turn around to look at her.
“Which girl you want to took tonight?” Giana asked, smirked toward the boy, causing the boy swallowed hard.
“You won’t know about it” Yousef said.
Giana frowns, support her chin on her right hand’s palm. “Tell me!”
Yousef bit his bottom lip. Giana waited for the answer.
“I want you” he finally stated. “But I heard you’ll get together with Randy”
“Nope, he rejected me even with no contact” she looked at the dancing couple she was witnessed; Tanya and Randy.
“Oh… so sorry to hear that”
Giana turns around and looks at the boy again. She smiled softly.
But let’s have a drink, and we’ll see
Where we're gonna end up tonight?
I said, where we're gonna end up tonight?
“Yousef, it’s not a problem to me to be your date tonight”
Yousef stared her in disbelief. “Really?”
“Yeah, let’s rock on the dance floor!”
“Giana, you really must not do this” he said, in worry. His eyebrows furrowed.
“No, I want it too. Let’s go!” she grabs his hand, and they lost in the dance crowd.
I said, Oh my God, my God, my God…
Oh my God, my God, my God…
Okay, that was such a great dancing. Some sweat beads could be seen on Yousef’s forehead and the light causing them sparkled. A wide smile stretched on his lips. Such a beautiful boy.
They come back to the half-emptied café and panted as they reach some seats. “Wow, I’ve never got as that crazed before” Giana said, flung her head back.
“Yeah, you can say that again”. “Is it just me, or the DJ’s rocking so great tonight?”
“Uh huh, she’s DJ Klaire, the best DJ around here” Giana said, in the matter-of-fact tone.
“Wow, a girl DJ. Not bad” Yousef said. “Is this meaning we’re together?” he asked, accidentally.
“What?” Giana wrinkled her nose, look at the boy. As soon as those words came out of his lips, Yousef cover his mouth with his hand. His eyes widened.
Well maybe this could be
The catalyst for my big epiphany
That'll lead me towards the light
“What did you said?” Giana straightens up her body, look at the frozen boy. Yousef’s lips are parted, he shivered. And the unexpected thing happened.
Tanya yelling so loud to her boyfriend
“What? You date my sister?”
“No Tanya, I wasn’t!”
Tanya Houston doesn’t change at all. She loves to blackmail someone; even her boyfriend. Giana shuddered, or rather, disgusted.
“Well don’t even you dare to lay me for one more time, Mr. Kelley!” Tanya pushed at him, walked away in satisfy with her gank.
Giana could see a big opportunity to get Randy. She won’t get fail; the percentage of her chance is 75%.
Or maybe, maybe, maybe
The devil's more my style tonight
Meanwhile, Yousef stare down at his feet, regretting the words he was said. Giana look at regretting Yousef, then at Randy who look at his liar girlfriend’s back, back to Yousef, then Randy.
Her heart and brain shout out their arguments again. The cool Randy or loving Yousef. Randy is easy to get as a lover, but he probably never loves his girlfriends before. He was only show them off to his football team mate. He’s a representation of the ‘Easy come easy go’ words.
So Yousef is the last choice.
I said, Oh my God, my God, my God…
Oh my God, my God, my God…
“Yousef, what did you say?” Giana asks him in interrogation tone. Yousef’s head lift up, look at her in lament.
“No, never mind” he said, bit his lip again.
“You were said… ‘Is this meaning we are together’ weren’t you?”
Yousef couldn’t move, even the slightest move but his chest which is rising up and down at his breathing.
“Alright, I was”
Giana smiled warmly, bend her head down, and kiss his cheek. “I’ll say yes”
Oh… my… God…
