Chapter 10

“Ahhhh!”

A scream made me stop walking along the crowd. I glanced at the owner of the high pitched voice and saw my cousin, Andromeda rushing towards us wearing her pink bikini and strap sandals.

“Be careful, Andromeda!” Aunt Meryl shouted. She’s really protective towards her only daughter.

I rolled my eyes when she tackled Marco to the ground. My friend squealed and they both laugh at the sands. I rolled my eyes and just walk away from their place.

“Annoying humans!” I muttered, “Who are they to act like they missed each other like they’re cousins?”

I wore my sunglasses and walk along a group of teenagers who’re probably around their early twenties. They are having fun and I am not. I look like an outcast in this group.  Good thing I am wearing my black swimsuit, beach hat and a gorgeous pair of slippers.  

They walk towards the main building of the resort and I followed them. I scroll through my phone while trying to maintain my distance about half a meter away from them. I don’t want to eavesdrop on their conversation but I don’t want to get away from them. I still need to hide from Cairo and the rest of the clan.

It’s our first day today at the resort and my family was super excited to have fun that they forgot they have a celebrity to disguise. What a shame!

Good thing that before Marco was kidnap by my so ever cool cousin, he manage to dress me up like a commoner. I can really rely that bitch when it comes to my look!

I scoff at my thought and stopped walking. I cant hear any high pitch giggles now.I can only hear my footsteps echoing in the whole building. Looks like I lost myself while following those teens.  

I breathe and resume my walk.

“Where can I relax these shoulders?” I asked myself. All I can think of is a salon or a spa, but it is full at the moment. Maybe I can go to a pub? But is there a pub here?

I scanned the whole area to where I’m at and saw the doors with numbers. “I must’ve arrive at the hotel part.”

I continued to walk until my feet found its way to a bar. It is located at the back of the main building where there are stones boulders. Huge waves are crashing in the pillars of the bar while it sits like a god between the ocean and the stones.

Awe. Such a cute architecture design!

I smiled and bobbed my head sideways back and forth as I skip towards the entrance.

I stopped in front of the bald man who’s wearing his uniform with a prinnted seal of the resort. I gave him a sly smile and asked, “Is this open for the public?”

“Yes miss,” he answered and stepped aside to let me in the bar.

Flashing lights welcome me as I made my way inside. The booming beat of a famous pop song made the crowd in front of me to go wild. The interior is all black, only the light bulbs from the bar and the neon lights from the painted walls and people serves as the guide to the whole bar.

“How are you people?” A scream from the DJ made the whole crowd crazier than they are.

“This is it, Emilia,” I whispered to myself then move towards the counter. I ordered my favorite bottle of liquor and drink it straight.

“Wohoooo!” I screamed. I let my hair wave to the vibration of the music. I can feel the liquor in my bloodstream. I removed my slippers and tossed it. Then I walk towards the sea of people and joined their dance.

Ah, confidence.

“Nice ass there!” Someone whistled as I grind my hips.

I glance at him and gave him a wink. I can’t see his face but I think this is enough to make me feel good. To make him feel good too!

With my feet firmly placed on the ground and a bottle of half-empty vodka in my hand, I danced to the beat. I jump with the crazy crowd and screamed when it was time to scream. I am not happy, but this just feel so good!

I never had attended this crazy wild party for years. Now, I have to spend all my time here tonight. Fuck Marco if he can’t find me. And I know that my mother will not scold me for this since she’s busy with organizing the reunion. They can handle their things on there own now. They are grown ups and I am an adult.

“I am an adult now!” I screamed on top of my lungs. The people beside me on the dance floor cheered and I screamed more,  “Aaaaahhhhhh!!!”

I shake my hips and head. This is super great! I feel like I don’t want to sleep even a wink tonight. I just want to party.

“Tonight let’s get wasted!” I shouted and laughed flirtatiously. I dance and jump. I can feel my breast bouncing and demanding to be freed. I loosen my the straps of my bikini and flipped my raven dyed hair.

“Fuck my ex, I don’t need him!” I shouted. The crowed agreed and wave with me as the DJ plays his remix songs.

Somehow, these nights reminded me of him. Flashes of painful memories entered my brain. I can even remember how I begged him to stay but he didn’t which made me have this habit of drinking liquor.

“Fuck him!” I added the drink the remaining half of vodka from the bottle. I smashed the bottle on the wall the has a neon sign, “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”. The whole crowd gone wild when it illuminates more and a four letter word flashes in the whole bar.

“Free Drinks For Everyone!” I read and danced to the music. “Woohooo!”

I didn’t know how long has it been since I’ve stepped on this bar. But I know that I am wasted and just finish my seventh bottle. I gave each and every man who agrees with me for a body shot. Some did it to my body too and I don’t mind it!

This is a party. Only a poop will disagree to everyone’s request.

“Can I lick that breast, baby?” A hoarse voice whispered in my ear, biting my lobe flirtatiously. I felt his hand on my side-boob massaging it. I let out a moan and respond, “Only if you suck best.”

I heard him chuckled. I grabbed his palm and lead it to my neck. I shifted my body and faced his dark eyes. I bit my my lip on the process, gave him a pick on the cheeks and said, “Darling, you can never know a woman not unless you dive in deep in her desire.”

With that he lowered his head and claimed my lips. Oh God! He taste sweet and minty. I closed my eyes savoring the moment. He grabbed my hair and fisted it, drawing me closer as our lips sync. I am so lost to his breathe that I didn’t mind having no time to inhale. All I can think of is wanting this man!

“Argh!” I groaned when I felt his lips move away, “What’s wrong?”

I heard the crowd gasps, making me open my eyes to look at the handsome man whom I I just shared a kiss with. I saw him lying on the floor with blood on his nose. He’s mad but he didn’t move a bit.

“Hey!” I called his attention, but his eyes were focused to something, or I should say someone. I followed it and I felt my soul left my body for a second.

I felt myself sobber up in the sight of the man whose fist is drenched with another man’s blood. He is wearing his dark black suit. Just like the bar, his aura is dark and omits great form of violence and abuse.

“You will not touch her, again.” His voice boomed like thunder. I flinched and slowly move my feet backwards, preparing to run before he can even look at me.

I couple of steps was taken when his bloody eyes look at me. I catch his stare and just like that the whole world stopped. I am lost again. I don’t know what to do.

“You will come with me.” He commanded but my body refuses to take any action. All I can see is his dark brooding eyes in this dark bar. I can’t even hear the music playing in the background. My ears refuses to do so.

Move!

I screamed inside.

Fuck it, Emilia. Run!

Another one screamed.

I can feel my heart pounding so hard. My blood rushing through my veins. My brain commands every cell in my body to move, but the whole system refuses.

“You will come with me,” he growled and grab my hand.

This is a nightmare, right? I’m just seeing things. That’s all.

 He drag me towards the exit and carried me to the nearest staircase that leads to the unknown.

“Move, Emilia.” He tightened his grip on my wrist. I can feel the pain but I can’t scream. Why is he here? How did he find me?

My body move with his command. It recognizes the other owner, the one who can wreck the whole system. The whole me!

I felt my feet stopped on a huge door. He opened it and drag me inside, closing the door behind me. I closed my eyes as it echoed in the whole room.

“You will not do that, again,” he growled and grabbed my cheeks just so I can look at his dark eyes.

I felt my tears running down from my face but I can’t seem to wipe it. He tightened his grip more as he lowered his face. He brushed his his lips onto mine slowly. I felt his hot breathe fanning my skin, causing waves of overwhelming emotions to enter me.

I want to scream or even whimper but my voice says his name.

“Cairo.”
