Chapter 92: Is it really you?
River POV
"Okay folks 10 minutes till the amateur draw picks start. After that bets will start for the pros." The announcer says over the speaker.
My stomach does a flip, I'm still nervous but also excited. I better go pee really quick before they start.
"I'm going to go potty really fast before they start" I say to Finn.
He just nods since he's talking to Lincoln he leans and kisses me on the head. I reach over and smack his butt as I pass him.
He looks back at me and smiles then he winks at me. I blush and smile back at him
"Use Flame's upstairs it's so much cleaner, fight girls are nasty" Chailor says "Do you want me to go with you?" I shake my head at her. She looks over and waves to a girl in short shorts.
"Are you sure?" She asks me smiling at me then back over to Lincoln.
"No I'll hurry" I says as I quickly kiss Finn again, he keeps looking over at me and giving me his cute dimple smile. God that smile gives me butterflies everytime. I don't think I will ever get over the effects that smile has on me.
I turn into the hallway and head up the stairs, I place my finger on the scan pad and the door opens.
That's so cool, wish I had that for all my doors then I wouldn't keep losing my keys.
When I step through the door I see someone is standing there looking out the window.
He has tattoos covering his back and his arms and just from the back of him I can tell he's chiseled. His skin is a olive color, he's only wearing the black and teal colored shorts.
So he's someone who works here or someone Flame knows.
"Sorry I didn't know anybody was already in here. I'm just going to use the bathroom and then I'll be on my way"
He jumps and turns to look me. He just keeps staring at me then suddenly his mouth drops open and he gasps "River?!"
He looks familiar but I'm not sure where I know him from. My eyes meet his amber colored eyes and for a second my heart skips a beat and I get butterflies in my belly. He's really cute but I think I startled him a bit.
"Is it really you?" He asks walking towards me. He has a sexy smile, I look him up and down.
I blush as my eyes meet his.
"I'm sorry, but do I know you?" I ask him nervously looking away for a minute before I look at his face again. I think I would remember meeting him.
He stops and a sad look comes over his handsome face, he looks at his feet and then back up to my face. He swallows hard and takes a few ragged breaths then he shakes his head with a smile.
"Oh I'm sorry, no I guess you don't know me yet. I'm Denalii Nunzio" he says as he sticks his hand out.
"Oh my god Flame's brother and Finn's bestie, of course" I quickly grab and hug him, I blush as a warm tingling feeling speads across my body. He's skin feels like small pulsating zips through out my body. Like it's trying to wake me up.
He's Finn best friend that's why he looks familiar. I must have seen a picture of him somewhere. I feel like I know him from Finn's stories.
"I've heard so much about you. I'm so happy I got to meet you before you guys leave" I smile at him as I start to pull away.
He squeezes me tightly for a moment, it's a little weird hugging him this long but it feels nice as another warm tingling feeling speads across my body.
"It's nice finally meeting you too River. So your the girl who stole the stone cold heart of Finley Spencer" he laughs then looks at his feet for minute.
I watch him for a minute then I try to break the silence by saying "It's great to finally meet you too. I feel like we've met before and your voice sounds so familiar and your eyes are so pretty." I say staring at him and then I blush again because now I'm just being weird.
He looks up at me, he's still looks a little sad.
He holds our eyes for a second then looks away.
He makes me so nervous and I'm feeling a little light headed.
"Sorry that was weird of course we haven't met before, it must be from all the stories I've heard about you. Sorry I'm just chatting away it's been a really weird day for me " I blurt out. Why does he make me so nervous?
I give him another hug. "Be safe out there Nunzio and please watch Finn's back for me. I love him and I need him to come home to me" I smile again at him as I walk away from him.
"I promise you I will do what ever I can to get him back to you River" he says to me, then he smiles softly at me. He seems sweet and his voice is so comforting but when he says my name it's almost like his voice breaks some and I can hear the sadness in it.
"Have a great night River" he says as he turns back to the window.
I shake my head, I'm a little dizzy and the way he said my name is clouding my thoughts. I feel confused and fuzzy. Like I'm drunk almost or more like I'm watching this from above. It's just a really weird feeling. Maybe that shot went right to my head.
I hurry and blurt out "Sorry for interrupting you I'll let you get back to it. Good luck on your fight. I'll hurry and use the bathroom and get out of your hair. It was really great meeting you. Nunzio make sure you bring yourself home as well" I hurry and rush to the bathroom my face is on fire. I feel nauseous and my head is spinning. I take a drink from the flask and splash water on my face.
What the fuck was that? That was so weird or maybe I made it weird.
I lean against the wall and when I close my eyes I can see his beautiful amber eyes staring at me and I can't shake the feeling that they are so familiar.
