boyfriend. Joey
was relaxed when he walked over to Gabriella, facing directly
toward her, and stopping to stand two feet away. When their eyes
met, he placed his hand on Gabriella’s hip, and felt comfortable
with her already. Gabriella moved a foot closer.
“Joey, right?” Gabriella asked, cutely as Joey nodded his head.
“Gabriella?” Joey asked, questionably raising one eyebrow,
making it seem he was unsure. And at the time he was unsure, he
was meeting his dream girl for the first time.
“That’s me.”
“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
Becky and Charlie were standing right behind Gabriella.
Gabriella turned to face them as Joey’s hand didn’t leave
Gabriella’s body. His hand moved above her tail bone, along the
curve of the small of her back as she turned sideways, he followed
with her. Becky and Charlie counteracted their position, and stood
opposite of them.
“This is my cousin Becky, and her boyfriend Charlie.”
Joey took Becky’s hand as any gentleman would, and then
gave Charlie a handshake.
“Hey guys, I’m Joey.” He said with a smile.
“Well Hello” Becky said.
“Hey man it’s nice to meet you.” Charlie said.
Gabriella hadn’t been happier in her entire life while
feeling Joey’s hand on her back. She was pleased with how they
had introduced themselves. Joey himself couldn’t believe how
naturally he had acted, and how naturally she had responded back.
If he had to be the one to speak first, he wouldn’t have known what
to say. He would have fumbled his words trying to get out, ‘I’m
Joey.’ as he couldn’t believe how pretty she was. But he was
comfortable with her, and found that so far around her, he was able
to be himself.
“Come on I’ll get you all a drink.” Joey said, grabbing Gabriella’s
hand, and starting to walk her through the living room he then
shrugged, ‘come on’ for her guests to follow.
Joey started walking them right through the living room,
and as soon as they began to walk, Gabriella turned around to
Becky who was right behind her, and mouthed, ‘oh my god,’ as she
was so happy to be holding hands with Joey. They didn’t have a
hard time making their way through the crowd. There was a fair
amount of guests in the kitchen, Gabriella noticed as she first
walked in, and only a few in the living room. Joey led them to the
recreation room whose entrance was in the far right corner of the
living room. Gabriella kept to Joey’s hand as he led them over to
the wet bar inside the recreation room.
Joey didn’t want to let go of Gabriella’s hand, just yet when
they reached their destination. Josh and Anna were behind the
counter of the wet bar. Joey introduced Gabriella to Josh and
Anna, but he wasn’t going to be introducing her to everyone all
night. It was a party and people mingled and introduced
themselves all on their own. Which he hoped Gabriella wouldn’t
be doing, but he at least wanted her to get acquainted with his
closest friends.
“Josh, Anna, this is Gabriella.” Joey said, causing Gabriella to
smile politely to both Josh and Anna.
Joey let go of Gabriella’s hand, and she felt a bit of
disappointment. Joey then used his hand to finish the introduction,
he pointed with his palm to the side
“And this is her cousin Becky
and her boyfriend?” Joey looked at Gabriella questionably, to
make sure he got it right. “Charlie” Joey said, after Gabriella
nodded that’s correct.
Josh wasn’t much for introductions. Being a lot like Joey,
he wasn’t much for small talk either. He didn’t want to bother with
the acquaintanceship of nice to meet you, and so on, so he simply
said,
“what can we get you?”
“I’ll just take a beer. What do you want Becky?” Charlie said.
“I don’t know what kind of alcohol do you have?” Becky asked.
“Oh I make a wicked red devil. Do you ladies want to try them?”
Anna asked.
“I’ll take one, I love red devils.” Gabriella said.
“Okay me too” Becky said, never before
