CHAPTER 5

I DON'T know how many bottles of alcohol I have drank, even the time has escaped my mind. I just keep drinking and it feels like I'm always thirsty. "

"K-krys..."

I immediately turned to Diana beside me and quickly held my head as I felt dizzy. I calmed myself down before looking at my friend.

"Yeah? What is it? Are we going home?" I asked with blurry eyes.

Diana just shook her head hurriedly and then flashed a seductive smile, as if she suddenly had an idea.

"No, Krys... we're not going home yet. There's something I haven't done yet-"

Diana didn't finish what she was saying as I quickly put my fingers on her mouth to silence her. She frowned and glared at me.

"What are you doing Krystel Ann-"

"Stop saying my fucking full name, Diana Jane!" I hissed at her. "...you can continue what you were saying later. I just can't take this anymore, I need to pee-"

I didn't finish what I was saying as Diana quickly removed my hand from her mouth and pointed to a direction.

I looked over to where she was pointing with a confused and dazed look.

"What are you pointing at? Are you calling someone?" I asked, still looking at the direction where her finger was pointing. Even though I felt dizzy, I could still see that she was pointing to a door.

There was no one there.

"You said you need to pee, right? The bathroom is there-"

"I don't think it's there. I'll just ask someone later-"

"No Krys, are you that smarter than me? Just go there and release your bladder. After that, we'll go home. My future husband is nowhere to be seen again. Where could that grasshopper be?"

"I thought you didn't know what Diether looks like-"

"I don't! I just have a feeling that it was him who I kissed earlier in the hallway."

My neck almost snapped as I quickly turned to Diana beside me. She was just laughing and smiling as if what she said doesn't mean anything to her. She's drunk. We need to go home.

"What the fuck Diana Jane? Can you repeat what you said? You just kissed a totally random and stranger guy?!" I asked, feeling alarmed. The dizziness and drunkenness suddenly vanished.

"Totally stranger? I don't think so. I feel like it was Diether-"

"What if it wasn't him?! You just gave your first kiss to someone you don't even know!"

"What if it was him? And don't worry, Krys. It's just a kiss, I still have my virginity. I'm still pure and tight-"

"You're so messy! Stop it. I need to pee and then we'll go home. Wait for me, you might end up kissing someone again," I reminded her.

Diana just nodded her head like an innocent toddler. I left her and quickly stood up from my seat.

I stopped for a moment and thought. I didn't know if I should follow the direction that Diana showed me or go to the comfort room I saw near the entrance. But I really need to pee.

I let out a violent sigh before quickly marching towards the door that Diana pointed out earlier. I didn't hesitate and forcefully pushed the door in front of me. As the door opened, I witnessed a scene that made my hair stand on end. A woman was kneeling and performing oral sex on a man who had his eyes closed. Wait! Why do I recognize this man? Isn't that...oh shit, it is!

"What are you staring at, kid? You love what you're seeing?"

I almost lost my balance as the man started to stare at me shamelessly, as if I hadn't witnessed the scandalous scene with his girlfriend.

"U-uh, I think I'm in the wrong r-room-"

"Definitely, yes you are."

I blinked several times when I heard what he said. The nerve of this man! If he was so eager to have sex with his girlfriend, why did they have to do it in the bathroom? What?! Couldn't they control themselves and find a better place?!

"I'll just go somewhere else, continue what you're doing people."

I tried to compose myself even though I felt dizzy. I looked for something to hold onto to prevent myself from falling over due to the overwhelming feeling I had.

"Ah, Ymir baby, don't mind her. Just look at me as I lick the tip of your di-"

"Remove that mouth of yours from my manhood, Lilian-"

I didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for the man named Ymir as the woman, Lilian, suddenly stood up from her kneeling position and slapped him across his white, smooth cheek.

"Fuck you, Ymir! It's Marian! Damn you."

That was the last thing the woman said before marching out of the room. However, before she could reach the door next to me, she quickly turned to face me. I raised my head as I felt her carefully scrutinizing me from head to toe.

"What? Anything you wanted to say? Don't worry, girl. I won't steal your boyfriend-"

"Ymir was not my boyfriend. But I think he likes you."

"What?!"

I don't know where I was more surprised. Was it because she said that the man wasn't her boyfriend, even though they were just engaged in a scandalous activity, or was it because she suddenly said that the man, Ymir, had feelings for me?

"Are you a virgin?"

I straightened up when she asked me that. I subtly glanced at the man behind her who was now busy fixing himself up. He didn't seem to hear what his girlfriend was talking about.

"W-why are you asking?"

I almost cursed myself for not answering the woman's question, but instead, I asked her a question. A few seconds passed, and she just raised the corner of her lips, making me feel like I was an abomination. It felt as if being a virgin was something to be ashamed of.

"Leave the kid alone, Lilian or Marian or whatever your name is. Just go outside and let's continue what we're doing in my condo-"

"I'm not a kid anymore, you asshole..." I said in a low and sharp tone. My irritation grew when I heard the guy and the woman who was still standing beside me, just a few steps away, almost simultaneously giggling.

"Okay, you said it. Lilian-"

"It's Marian, Ymir. Stop saying random and stupid names!" The woman hissed while stomping her feet.

Who's acting like a kid now?

"Yeah, yeah whatever-"

"She's your type..."

"What?!"

"I said that this kid right here is your type, Ymir. Do her. Now."

I couldn't understand their conversation. As time passed and their talk continued, the headache and discomfort I felt only worsened.

I wanted to ignore them and walk out of the room, but before I could even take a step, someone daringly grabbed my arm. Automatically, one of my eyebrows went up when I looked at the person holding me.

I harshly pulled my arm back, trying to make eye contact with him. "W-what do you want?" Even though my voice was low, I knew it was enough for the guy to hear.

I almost wanted to punch him in the face when he just grinned and shook his head without answering my question.

I was about to turn away from him again when I felt something kiss the nape of my neck. My hairs stood on end as I turned around to look at the guy behind me. But like before, he just smirked and stared at me as if he was studying me.

"Why did you that? What the hell?! You're a pervert too-"

"What did you say?"

I almost lost my words when, in the blink of an eye, the guy moved closer to me. What the hell! Is he related to The Flash? Why is he so fast?

"I s-said why did you kiss my n-nape?"

"Oh, that? Hmmm..." I slowly backed away as he stepped forward, approaching me.

I quickly looked around and realized that the woman he was with earlier was nowhere to be seen, leaving just the two of us in the room.

"... don't you want it? The feeling of my lips touching your skin? Tell me, baby, don't you like it? I'll stop and leave you here if you tell me-"

"Are you flirting with me? Err no, this is not flirting anymore. Let me rephrase my question, are you seducing me?" I asked in disbelief. But like before, he just grinned.

I was about to leave the room when I heard him speak again. "Is it effective?"

"What?!"

"You're asking if I'm seducing so I'm asking you now if it's effective-"

"No fucking way!"

"I don't think so."

It was too late for me to avoid him as he quickly closed the gap between us and firmly grabbed my head.

Almost losing my senses, I felt the softness of his lips on mine. I could taste the alcohol he had earlier. I felt like losing my balance as he forcefully inserted his tongue into my mouth and bit it gently. I let out a moan from what he did.

"See baby? Now, don't tell me that seducing you is not effective because you will be a hypocrite for denying the obvious-"

"Then what do you want me to do?" I asked, like an obedient child.

I didn't even bother to acknowledge the smirk he gave me and just hugged his arms tightly. Staring at him like this makes me want to do more. Even though it was just a first kiss, I felt like I was ready for whatever he was going to do next.

"That's how I want it. Come with me to my condo-"

"What about my friend? I can't leave her behind-"

"My friend will take care of her. She's looking for Deedee, right?"

"What?!"

"I mean Diether. She's looking for Diether?"

Slowly, I nodded at him even though my face was full of questions. It was like the heat that I felt earlier disappeared in an instant.

"Then let's go to my condo now. I'll promise you won't regret it," he said with a smile and grabbed my hand.

I didn't have any choice but to go along with it. I didn't know if it was because of the alcohol I drank earlier or I really wanted this to happen.

Oh well! This will be my first and last one-night stand. We won't meet again, right?

I hope not!
