Weeks pass in a blink of my eyes and I am back to my daily and dull life where every day I will have to wake up early in the morning and get to my workplace.
In the evening, I will have short classes for the language that I am taking. Currently, I am learning a new language for future use. My boss said that it will be easier for me to communicate with my client in the future although I have no interest whatsoever.
I should have probably just stopped taking the class. I scowl at the thought of the man. His name itself gives me an unpleasant feeling.
The day continues as if nothing had happened just a few weeks ago and I am glad that I finally can let the thought of the only person lingering in mind long enough then it is supposed to be out of my mind.
My classes ended earlier than I thought it was supposed to end, considering how I keep losing my focus during the class. I use the time left to relax as all the studies make me have a headache and sore muscles all over my body.
I rolled my eyes as the mail kept on popping on my screen, showing the notification and I almost blocked and deleted the email if not because of the boss, instead I muted the notification coming.
It's okay, I will ignore it for now.
I stretch a little before laying my body on the carpeted floor when my phone makes a sound indicating that someone just sent me a message.
Kaygirl:
Who's coming tonight?
xxxgboy:
I'm coming!xD
mixmini:
EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE THERE!
giselle:
Of course, tonight is an exception
Kaygirl:
good.
Kaygirl:
@Angela you coming right?
Angela:
yes.
I smile as I remember what day it is today. Replying to the group of girls where I know them one night at the club.
We frequently meet at the club to have fun and today is one of the girl's birthdays and of course, there will be some fun happen tonight.
I walked to my closet to look for a dress to wear for the night as excitement started to take over. I thought it was still too early to get ready and instead I went to take a warm bath.
Hours passed and finally, the clock struck 10 pm. I get myself ready. I go with thin makeup applying on my face and dress in a red body con dress which I have been keeping inside my closet for a decade.
Satisfied with myself, I curled my shoulder-length hair before grabbing all the stuff that I needed and making my way out to the club.
____
Loud music was echoing inside the room and I made my way to the group of girls already seated at the corner and their loud voices filled my ears and I hissed silently to myself.
I approach them and congratulate the half-drunk birthday girl before seated on one of the empty spots around the table, not bothering to introduce myself to the strangers who keep eyeing me from time to time.
This is what I needed. I thought as my eyes wandering around the room full of people with one hand holding a glass of my favorite drink.
My head started to get dizzy but I am still sober enough to make conversation here and there and refusing some guy who came asking for a dance with me.
How polite.
I leant my head back as the drink started to make me slowly lost consciousness. I let out a hefty breath when I feel a presence beside me.
I wasn't in my right mind at the moment and just like the other guy, I was ready to decline and refuse whatever the guy had in his mind when he took the glass fill with water in my hand just before I could say anything.
"Hmm tequila" his voice was deep and husky and I turned my head to get a better sight of him.
"I'm sorry, I am not interested," I say without hesitation in my voice as my mind was fuzzy due to the drink and I didn't care one bit and enjoyed myself further.
I looked at his side profile as he took a sipped of my half drink glass before placing it on the table in front of him.
The dark brownish eyes somehow remind me of someone but I shrugged the thought off. Music blasting around the crowded place.
"What are you doing" my voice slurry in drunkenness and my hand went to touch his chest as his body moved closer towards me.
"You naughty, didn't I say that I am not interested" I drag my one finger on his chest as I could hear his breath hitched.
"Angela" the voice too, sounded familiar to me but the little self inside of me wanted to shrug the thought off again and go with the flow.
On second thought, my mind was wandering how the fuck does he know my name but again I didn't bother to ask and was too occupied with the feeling building inside of me.
"What are you doing you naughty girl" I smiled at his remark and my mind thought of something interesting as I pushed him on his back and climbed on top of him. Sitting on his laps.
He smirked at my action and his hand went to hold my waist securely as he adjusted my position on his lap.
He let a smirk decorate his handsome face and as I said, my mind wasn't in the right place at the moment as my body moves to its liking.
"Do you know what you are doing right now?" I put one finger on his lips, quieting him down as I let my finger drag along his plump lips.
Our faces inch closer as each minute passed with no words coming out of our mouths. His eyes sparkle with something and the longer I stared into his eyes the more I could see his emotion but couldn't pick out what is it.
My body felt numb and before my mind could proceed with what was happening, I was seated directly above his hardened bulge.
"Stop moving too much." he groans and holds my waist tighter, holding me in place and again- my head feels slightly dizzy and I feel like puking my gut out but holding it in nevertheless.
"Angela!" my head turn sloppily to peek at the person who called for me and when I look at the girl- who I didn't remember her name again.
She grinned at me when she saw the man I was with. She said something to the man but I couldn't hear her due to my headaches and loud music when a hand cupped my face up.
Eyes wandering around the handsome face as he too did the same when his man column hit my nostril and a sudden realizing made me pause for a while,
Even in my drunken state- I could never forget the smell of him.
Just before I could climb out of his laps, he pulled my arms harshly and a second later-
His lips landed on mine.
I was told by one of the girls from the club that someone had accompanied me yesterday when I asked them who took me to the hotel room and the answered remains the same which left me to grimace by the confusion and slight disbelief. They all had gone home and left me here all alone with a stranger? No problem. I ignore the teasing the girls are throwing at me inside the group chat in irritation. Can't they tell that I'm angry right now? I feel even more irritated when I couldn't remember the man. But something feels strange when I tried to remember yesterday's event. The man feels familiar but then with my situation yesterday, I'm not so sure anymore. What's wrong with me and keep forgetting? I'm not like this. I let my guard down too much and the thought doesn't satisfy me. I hold a piece of paper in my hand, the words are well written and neat on the paper surface and whoever left me the note is stupid. 'You are lucky I didn't lose control yesterday' -Vince My frown gets dee
The sound of shoes tapping against the floor followed by his every movement welcomed me while he made his way toward my direction, closing the gap between the two of us and I stood there motionless with eyes stuck to him. To say that I was surprised was an understatement at the sudden appearance of him in the room. I mean- I never imagined him as one of the tattoo artists here besides Nicolas. Rosa never mentioned this before? I shake my head at the thought. It's not like I care and it's none of my business but- okay. Why am I so surprised now? I examined him from head to toe, although aware of his eyes watching me, my mouth was kept shut. His legs moved fast towards me and within a span of a second, his tall figure stood in front of me. I've been coming here several times over the past month and the only person I know around here is Dominic and Nicolas, of course, besides their other friends. Even though they all seem nice, I just don't want to get involved. These guys seem da
I left the middle looking room after a long minute of contemplating with myself, the embarrassment that I felt after knowing that didn't disappear from me instead it made me flush in embarrassment with every second passed, knowing that the said person is outside of the room. Nicolas had left me alone in the room after telling me the shocking information. The grin never left his face and before the door was shut behind him, a deep chuckle escapes from his mouth. My mind was playing with a lot of questions and I have no answer to any of them. Exhaling a deep breath, I put on my unbothered face and pushed the thought off me before I made my way out of the room, ready to make a run from here. Not even a second step that I took, my legs came to a halt in an instant and only to be greeted by a bunch of men sitting in the room, and my breath stopped. All the seven eyes in total turn to look at me once the door creaks open and I stood there dumbfoundedly. A total of seven gorgeous men we
"Vincenzo" before I even realize it, my mouth pronounce his name slowly and the sudden rush of relief overcome my body at the presence of him around me. Dry tears were felt on my cheeks but I didn't bother to wipe them away, too occupied with the feeling that I felt building inside of me. My eyes shifted to glance around us to see if someone was still following me but to my relief, no sight of anyone was around. We were surrounded with emptiness and I couldn't be any calmer to know that I am saved, at least, for now. Vincenzo, on the other hand, was looking at me strangely but a hint of concern decorated his face as he keeps pulling me tighter into his solid chest to comfort my shaking body. His hand never stops stroking my hair. "Are you okay? what happens" His voice was heard deep as he asked me before both his hand's cups my cheeks up, eyes examined my pale looking face in worried if I was hurt somewhere before he let out a sigh when he saw nothing but my dry tear on my
Vincenzo I woke up due to the sound of my phone ringing nonstop beside me and I groaned in displeasure. The phone rang not once but many times without stopping and I pray for it to stop within a second which did not apply to my expectant. My thought drifted to the girl sleeping beside me. Secretly don't want to wake her up from sleeping peacefully on my side as the reminder of yesterday rushed into my mind and secretly don't want to interrupt this peaceful atmosphere that surrounded the room. After a few times, it stopped before I could even reach for the phone and I sigh in relief. Mentally cursing the person who had woken me up from my deep slumber but I don't bother to check who it was from. My hand reaches to feel the presence of her on the other side of the bed and my heart almost drops when my hand touched the empty bed beside mine. In a swift, my head lifted only to see her sleeping further away almost at the edge of the bed, her back was facing me and my lips knowingly cur
My body is in complete soreness and so do my legs as I could feel the throbbing muscles all over my now sweaty body. I stink of sweat and I grimace in disgust at myself. Oh my, I need a shower. I haven't been going to the gym for a long time due to the busy schedules and having a little exercise here and there sure did something to my unproductive body. Rosa inviting me with her had made me go to the gym today in which I was left in complete remorse. And I never regret coming with her as much as I regret it today. She keeps whining at me because I refused to accept her offer at first. I mean, can't she tell that I'm lazy? and it's the weekend, no one wants to spend their only free time going to the gym! or at least not me, and she asked me the night before. In the end, I gave up and with a happy scream of her that almost make my ear deaf, she hung up on me and of course, after thanking me multiple times. I sighed at her childish behavior. The next day, I had woke up extra early
I was expecting to see Rosa still sleeping beside me as I was woken up brutally by the sudden coldness sipping through my skin, the once comforter that covered my whole body now is tossed to the side of the bed leaving me with nothing and exposed to the cold air. I look over the room in blurry as my vision is adjusting to the light. What time is it now? Once realizing that I was alone in the room and not at my house, I let out a tired breath before deciding to check on the time. Oh, I hate this. I close my eyes to think of today. I really don't want to see him, Not even in a thousand years. I don't wish to even cross paths with him if I were to choose my fate but I'm tired of him trailing after me like prey. I need to get this done. • • • I keep looking for Rosa around the big and empty house leading to one way from another which almost makes me lost in the confusing hallways. Don't judge me, I don't come here often, only when Rosa asks me. I stood in the middle of the big kitc
I get dressed shortly after the encounter with Vincenzo and the rage inside me which I don't know why It still there. Honestly, I don't know why I'm angry in the first place. Isn't like what he said is wrong. In fact, I am troubled. Only if I could just let this out to someone but it wasn't as easy. Sighed. My thought shift to meeting him today. This is so hard. I should have gotten ready now and made a move. I've been dragging this out so many times, he wouldn't be so happy if I skip today. Only God knows what's coming to me if I didn't see him today. That crazy psycho is unpredictable. I texted Rosa to inform her of my leaving but she seems busy as it shows one tick to the message that I send, indicating that she's not yet received my text and her status shows offline. I don't bother to pack all my stuff to bring it with me as I will be staying here for a little while. Once prepared, I take a look at myself one last time before leaving Rosa's room to take my leave carefully as
Maybe this is a terrible idea. The loud rumbling sound from the sky above accompanies every drop of water pouring onto the ground where I'm seated. Looks like it's going to rain for a while. No one's around at this hour, and here I am, eating instant noodles with soda. I know it's not the healthiest dinner option, or maybe it's way past dinnertime, but I'm in a tight spot. As long as my stomach is filled with something that won't keep me awake all night, I'm good with it. I should leave now since the shop is about to close, but that's my problem – always unprepared. I forgot to bring an umbrella, and unfortunately, I spent all my money on food, so I can't buy one now. I curse under my breath at my stupidity. I should've just ordered takeout and stayed home, but now I'm stuck here, contemplating whether to make a run for it. My apartment isn't too far from the store, but maybe it's better to wait until the rain stops. I don't want to get sick now. The guy working here looks at me
"No Rosa I can't" I tried to explain to her the reason that I couldn't attend today's dinner with her family because I was busy but like usual she wouldn't even listen to me.My sigh fills the whole space inside my room while my hands keep roaming around the file lying in front of me. It was an awful sight for me the mess displayed after my eyes."But Angela! Everyone is here and they want you here!" I move away a little as her loud voice pierces my eardrum."Yes, I know just... I'm busy-"It was true that I'm busy but the real reason is still because of the one person who I know by heart will be there and probably... will be there.I couldn't see him. Not physically. Not only because of the night when we shared a kiss but also because of the night when I met him at the ball.I don't know how my reaction will be if I ever see him at this moment. It was all so messy and chaotic inside my head. I couldn't put one to one puzzle and gather all information in just a week-well 5 days to be
My body whirled around, trying to get away from him. Feeling uncomfortable with his action and the shock that I'm having right now. The shock that he did this.He places his lip on mine before sliding his tongue inside my mouth making me flinch away from that but his grip on my body makes it hard for me to move even an inch away from his towering body. I feel something touch my tongue and a weird taste of something that I couldn't figure out. The action was so sudden and fast before he finally shift his head away."Isn't this what you are trying to get hm?" He said while groaning, hand still roaming around my body, moving dangerously down touching my bare thigh.His touch sent a shiver through my whole body, especially in between my thigh. I feel something tingling down there and something stuck in my throat.When his nose brushed against my nipple and I almost let out a sound at the contact. My body flushes in heat and heavy breath left my slightly open mouth. Taking as much oxygen a
I never asked Rosa what her family did because I respect her and her family's privacy and I never asked my mother about any of this but when a piece of the puzzle connects, it makes me dizzy.Who is Vincenzo? and why is he involved in all of this?For once I didn't want to believe what my mind started to believe.I never agree or like doing what I'm doing but when I discover all the truth about all these men, all these kinds of people. It always makes me sick.Politics, Drugs dealer, Human trafficking-List all of it, I was forced to deal with it. Why? because once upon a time I was good at being a puppet for Luigi and now I regret ever coming across all these people. Him.As a child, my parents were always busy and rarely spent time with me due to their work, at night I always listen to them bickering about everything, sometimes even at dinner.They thought that I was a kid I would never understand what they are talking about but as I grew older in my teens year my curiosity about al
I look at Luigi moving around his office with one hand holding a glass of whiskey in it, whiles in a while twirling its content before bringing it up to his lips.His shoe tapping against the recently polished tiles floor annoyed me to no end but I keep silent and watched him carefully from where I was seated."He will attend tonight's ball while his partner has some business to do- he will be attending alone, I want you to dig everything I wanted to know out of him. Do whatever you have to do, seduce him, get him into bed- I don't care what but all I wanted to know is what he is up to and where he hides all this time-" his body turn in my direction, eyes already moving up and down my attired before frowning, I almost rolled my eyes but keep it to myself and instead answer him in a monotone."I will get ready when I'm back and headed there before he did"Luigi didn't look convinced and narrowed his eyes at me."No I will ask one of my men to take you home and drop you off, wear the dr
I sigh in contentment when finally my skin comes in contact with the water flowing down my entire body making me shiver in coldness when I realize that I have yet to turn the water heater. Switching it on with just one click I continue cleaning my once sweaty body and get my business done. I took my time in the shower before I step inside my room and get changed into something comfortable. A plain big t-shirt with a short come along with it. The best stay-at-home fits ever. I was contemplating with myself for about another half a minute whether I should put on my bra or not because honestly, I wasn't feeling like wearing it right now, especially when I'm at home but the thought that I wasn't alone was the problem here. The t-shirt is big enough to not stick to my body
The next day comes as quickly and although I only get to sleep for 6 hours I woke up with a fresh sensation surrounding me. I look to my side to see if Rosa was still sleeping on my side but I find it empty and unoccupied. This has somehow become my habit right after I woke up to see if someone was beside me or not. My only guess is that she was sleeping downstairs. I shrugged the thought off before quickly getting myself out of the bed only to be pushed back by the sound of the door creaking open on my left. As quickly as the sound makes it to my ear my head turns automatically to look at the subject of the unknown presence. I let out a squeak of surprise by him almost naked standing in front of the bathroom door followed by the smell of his man cologne making its way out of the bathroom that's been occupied just a couple of minutes ago and going through my nostril. Did he use up all his shampoo or what? "What are you doing here?" I almost half-shouted at him if not because of m
I spend a night at Rosa's place and I was relieved to find out that Vincenzo is not staying around tonight or I don't know how am I going to act around him. He makes me act like a teenage girl with unstable hormones. Rosa said that her father had asked him to accompany us for the night but due to important work he couldn't stay any longer than a day. My mother come home earlier than expected because she said that work end quickly as it went well. I'm glad that finally, I'm able to see my mother after a whole week of not seeing her. We spend the night together, just the three of us. Although the house seems quiet despite the lack of people around but the two people whom I know by heart are enough to light up this quiet place. I excused myself after long hours of talking and watching a movie that was only displayed as background music. Pretending to be sleepy because, if I don't do that they will not let me go anywhere and for once I need a break from all the gossiped that they have
