Billionaire Nick

"I'll be fine"

She crossed her arms over her chest.

"You won't complain later?"

"No? "Okay" She shrugged and picked up a red cup from the table and downed the entire thing in one go.

"Come on.Let's dance."

She dragged me towards the dance floor.

We danced for some time—more like we just laughed and sang along with the lyrics.

Rebekah downed another drink and was now twerking wildly right in the middle of the dance floor.

I burst out laughing as a crowd formed around her and everyone was hooting for her to carry on.

The music was only getting louder and I decided to get some fresh air.

I stepped out into the backyard and took in a deep breath.

The stars were twinkling profusely and the wind was cool.

A few people were already passed out on the grass and I chuckled.

One stoned guy gave me a weird look before going back inside the house.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and jumped around to see who it was.

"Oh my God, Zach!"

I let out a breath.

"You scared me" He chuckled.

"I'm sorry.I didn't mean to"

Smiling, I went back to looking up at the sky.

"I'm glad you could make it"

He smiled down at me.

"Me too." I nodded.

"You look really beautiful, Caroline" he whispered in a soft voice.

"Oh, thanks.Credit goes to Rebekah.She did all my make-up and stuff—"

"No.I mean, not just tonight.

You always look beautiful’ I looked up into his deep brown eyes and realized that I'd forgotten how mesmerizing they were.

"Thank you, Zach."

He smiled, displaying those white pearls.

"You know,’ he started to say after a few moments, making me realize that I was just staring at him so I blinked and looked away.

"I've been trying to get drunk at this party but it's like the host diluted the alcohol with water.Damn! What an asshole!"

He went on blabbering but stopped abruptly.

"Right.

The point.’ He raised a finger in the air and I realized he was a little drunk when he slurred.

"The point is that none of it worked, but the moment I saw you, Caroline" he took a step in my direction, "I got shaky feet"

I didn't know what to say.

"Oh, okay?"

"I'm dizzy.
