"Don't you long for someone with whom you can walk down aisle, on dais below a cherry blossom tree? With its descending petals blessing both of you."
Amy after her stroll around the park and a rather intimidating look in Jace Green's life she went back to home. Jace was all she had on her mind throughout that remaining part of day and for the night about to arrive. She eventually got dressed up into a pretty black outfit as she had to visit to a friend's success party. A part of her really didn't wanted to, pertaining to all the drama going in her head for someone she didn't even know, someone who didn't even care about her existence. But she had to. Although she didn't even had a fair idea what was there for her in near future.
She parked her car and went inside the pub. The atmosphere in there was delightful, a break from the constant thinking around Jace. But somewhere in her heart she knew she couldn't get things off her mind because the story of Jace was going to lead her to the next art. She saw her friend Gizzel and hugged her, congratulating her for the big promotion. They had a little chat and Gizzel asked her to get herself a drink. She was moving towards the bar and that's when she saw him again.
Jace was sitting there with his eyes looking straight to the table as if they are going to pierce through it. He was wearing the same cloths as he had in the park. Yet somehow amy was just getting more and more mesmerized by him, as if the entire place had went into dark and there was spotlight just on him.
"Don't!" the word broke her undivided attention at him and she turned to see Gizzel right next to her.
"What is it with you and guys wrong guys? I mean why do always have to pick problematic one's." Gizzel said in a firm voice.
"What... what are you talking about?"
"Don't give me that. I saw the look on your face and I know what it means. I have seen it before, trust me you don't want to get tangled in someone's shit especially not him."
"You know him?"
"It's my party, I obviously I know my guest. He is..."
"Jace green, lily James's..."
"So you know about lily and still?"
"Still What?"
"Leave it, I just to remind you that you don't have to handle everyone with problems in their life, especially with their mind." Gizzel said those words and left from there to welcome other people.
Amy murmured in her breath, "He is not problematic, maybe he is struggling within himself."
After all of the discussion she had, Amy wanted to chill for bit. She went ahead got her a drink and started talking to other people she knew in the party; although, passively she was still staring at him. After the long stare at his drink which was for some deep thinking Jace had a smile on his face, most of which looked fake to Amy. He did talk to a few people but mostly to Gizzel's boyfriend. But what Amy noticed is that he looked like he was there only physically. As the party progressed Gizzel and her boyfriend started dragging everyone to the dance floor. After a few moments of hesitation Amy finally joined her friends on the dance floor and that was when something unexpected happen.
Jace who was still fixed on the bar chair got up from his chair and was coming straight to the dance floor. Amy's heart started to pour like anything. She hadn't notice that this handsome face had beautiful dark blue eyes. He looked appealing than ever. He straight came to the dance floor right next to Amy and asked her for dance. Amy was still pretty shocked but gave in for it as a reflex like without even thinking about it. They had there were first eye contact and for Amy it was like stars were sparkling allover.
"What am I, an eye candy for you? I saw you, all this time." said Jace in her ears while grabbing her from waist to dance. Jace was moving her very fast and they were killing it on dance floor.
There moments were fast and so were the thoughts running in Amy's mind. What is he talking about? Did he saw me in garden? Am I being obvious? But she decided not let herself break in front of him.
"Oh you are an eye candy!" she said in flirtatious tone. After that brief exchange of teasing and eye contact they busted in laughter. They got down the dance floor and went to the bar for some conversation over drinks.

He brought his hand forward and said, "Jace Green and you are."
"Never mind, I am someone you were looking for" she said winking him. Amy Could smell good amount of alcohol from him since he was with her on dance floor. She knew this entire fiasco of being coquettish was driven by alcohol and an urge to show people that he had move on in life. This isn't the person she saw at park. Or maybe he actually was this. In a way he was puzzling her with this attitude. She had to know the truth.
"Okay, so what am I looking for?" Jace said passing her a drink.
"Someone" she took a pause, "someone who could get you. Not get into your pants but into your skin." She said in rather serious mysterious tone. The words shook him. Any idea of something beyond a night was forbidden for him.
"Excuse me?" he said getting all uncomfortable.
"Oh you are, but do you want to?" Amy said smirking. "Don't you long for someone with whom you can walk down aisle, on dais below a cherry blossom tree? With its descending petals blessing both of you." Amy said in a soft tone waving her hand near his forehead. That was it. Those triggered the worst of emotions he was hiding behind his mask.
"Ahh... I got to go and actually... never mind" and he left from there.
Amy wanted to stop him, but she knew she had crossed the line. While leaving the club he grabbed a bottle along with him. Amy wanted to pursue him, but was stopped by Gizzel who said, "Enough for tonight?" but the night was still far from over.
