The New Girl - Paris
So the event was a hit and eventually there were some fun new introductions. The end of that day.
Virgil said bye to Anna and that was to be the end of whatever it was he felt for her or at least the beginning of that resolve, he told his sis he would head to Japhet's place to hangout a while and to go home without him.
They go on ahead, and he's at the back as usual, a little while into the journey this girl makes her way from the front to the back just to keep him company - not like he needed it tho but okay.
She didn't ask if she could walk with him but he didn't really care, so while they walked she did bring up a few topics to talk about but Virgil didn't put as much effort into answering like she did talking.
So she took off back to the front, and they eventually got to their destination, his parents were home so we had to use his room and not disturb so much Virgil just took a spot on one end of the bed and stared into his phone.
The guys left the girls to their own devices while they settled down to play video games, a ps4 so they were going to play FIFA 2024. The were screams of celebration and little cursing every now and then, Virgil would take a look from time to time and sometimes even put his phone down to observe the whole atmosphere for a while before going back in.
But after Japhet lost his match he found the habit annoying and told Virgil to put the phone down and come play, reluctant he also knew fighting it would be pointless so he just agreed without any fuss.
So he was to play against Prosper and the game began, it started off with him losing the girls at the back were doing what they do best, taking bets and gossiping about it and given Virgil's current state he looked like he was gonna lose - well that's what they were saying anyway.
Japhet on the other hand told them not to end the game just yet and watch, Virgil was at a 3 - nil loss during the first half. It was now time for the second half, it started with a banger and with Virgil scoring his first goal, not long after the second one came then the third one. They were tied and it looked good, Prosper wanted to chase a lead but Virgil had something else in mind.
The game finally came to an end with Virgil as the winner, shocking everyone in the room except Japhet who later came to liven up the place by calling him a devil in a joking tone.
Virgil could feel her gaze fixated on him but didn't turn, they kept playing and he kept get accustomed to the environment and from time to time would subconsciously look over at her and lock eyes with her.
He got tired over time and dropped the game pad to relax, went back to where he was sitting, and she took the initiative since she had a certain interest and this time they actually talked and had a couple of laughs.
She was dragged away by her friends to go get somethings, while she was gone he found himself becoming fond of her and he liked her.
The power had gone out so there was nothing for the guys to do so they all decided to play a game of rizz to check the ladies man among them. They dedicated Virgil go first and make his pick while he's at it.
He picks his girl, he looked at her and smiled, he was like "they say angels and the most beautiful beings… but darling, you make angels look like children"
That line lit up the whole place and even the girl herself.
Teasing she decided to honor him for honoring her, stretching forward for a handshake introducing herself as Paris, he takes her hand but has something entirely different in mind - softly kissing her hand before letting it go "Dave, pleasure is mine"
They played around a whole lot, the power came back on and the guys soon began their games while Paris had taken a certain interest she began looking for her phone looking around, she walked up to him and asked to
use his phone to call hers, unknown to him what was actually going on he agrees but tells her he didn't have much on his line.
It wasn't a problem to her so she took the phone and called
hers, she found it and returned his phone, after having the phone
for a while did he realize what actually went down, she having
taken his phone to call hers was just her way of giving him her
number but not like it meant anything to him.
"It wouldn't be too bad to get to know her since she gave me
her contact, I mean she does look good" carelessly shrugging the
thought to the back of his mind and saving the contact.
