Rachel felt all kinds of wrong letting Xander hold her by the waist. The background song was a really romantic song from Adele but she didn't really feel romantic, she felt like she was literally going in steps with the devil. He tried to come closer to her, whether he was planning on getting on her nerves or he just did it to spite, all she knew was she wasn't having it.Rachel instead moved back, giving him a warning look not to enter her safe bubble but the wicked glint in his eyes was saying otherwise. He definitely was going to try again, and just as she guessed, he did try to get closer to her but this time, she didn't really try to move back or push him back. She realized he was doing it to get a reaction out of her. And if that was his intention, then he was really in for a touch treat. They continued in that manner, him trying to taunt her and she not giving him the satisfaction he wanted.In order to spice it up, she decided to return the energy back. Rachel stepped forwar
Everyone else seemed busy talking about something important. Even Azariah had just excused himself to go talk to an important business partner who needed to see him on something urgent. Amy looked around the hall for Ricky and Araceli, and just as she predicted, they were both engrossed in a conversation or two with other people, she waited by the corner of the fancy hall, it was near the finite champagne pyramid filled glasses. Amy felt the insane urge to go at it again but her self awareness won't let her.I mean it was free, and it wasn't like those rich fucks were going to drink it anyway but she had had many, too many to count and she was still trying to get her self under control from the last champagne spree she just had. The water she took did a great job in her system because she was now feeling mildly tipsy compared to her initial fully drunk self.But her throat and her nerves kept gravitating towards the table and that wasn't her fault. Amy had been standing here for ove
She was so lost in her own world of salty stream and good champagne that she didn't notice when someone walked in. All of a sudden, her music stopped playing and she got confused. She could swear her earpods were charged up. She literally prepared for something like this to keep her company since she was the only one who didn't have a date. She let out a little groan before she opened her eyes and saw Azariah standing over her with a worried look on his face holding her phone in his hands. Knowing him for the shortest time that she has, he was definitely going to question what she was doing with a half-way emptied bottle of rich people's alcohol, dried up tears on her face with a sad nostalgic album playing."Before you get any ideas, I was rehearsing for a role," Amy blurted out. She took out one of the earpods and sat up facing the standing Azariah. Amy offered him a smile trying to show that she was alright but he definitely wasn't buying it. He gave her a sad look before draggi
"What do I get if I win?" Amy asked, getting interested, anything to keep her out of her own mind will do. She didn't need anything else for now."Well, it's just a casual cliché game that we all know, you know the cliche 'never have I ever'?" Azariah suggested he saw her slack a little which meant her interest just dropped and he needed to do something about it. That's when he got the idea."Well to spice it up, it's going to be a game of freakiness, I believe we are both freaky enough but to whoever have done it gets to drink the champagne," Azariah filled her in and watched her slowly smile as she nodded her head to his suggestion, now she was interested."Okay okay...That's something I could do, but Be warned I might drink the whole thing," Amy said, smirking at him."Okay then, you ask first?" Azariah gave her an open ground to ask. Amy didn't really go deep in thought at first till she realized the sole essence of the game for her was to make sure she drank as many gulps that s
"Can I kiss you?" Azariah whispered."Yes please…"Amy closed her eyes and it seemed like her other senses heightened drastically. She could feel the cloud of his perfume engulfing her slowly as he edged closer to her. A soft tip of his fingers traced the side of her face as he traced the lines of her cheekbones down all the way to the sides of her lips and used his thumb to touch the bottom lip, and she felt shivers go down her body. It was almost like she was on a high and everything he did hit her like 8D sound did to the ears. She could feel her whole body getting warm but at the same time having waves of shivers as he kept tracing the lines of her neck down to her chest. This man was trying to be the death of her. He asked for a kiss but now it seemed like she was bare nakes in front of him and it was the way she could feel all of him at once even though it was just the mere tip of his fingers and his breath that was caressing her exposed skin. He placed his soft lips on the
Numb fun...that was the goal.That was her comfort zone, serving any bond that would make her stay awake at 3am in the middle of the night regretting her entire existence. She remembers being told that her mother died of childbirth when she was born and she had to live with the thoughts that she killed her mother right from a young age. From as little as eight, she knew what unripe guilt felt like, she would cry into Mr. Liam, her supposed to be guardian and ask him why she was so unlucky every night after which she would cry immensely and tell herself she was fine.She went ahead to drop out of highschool after her highschool melt down. She had abortion complications that kept her in the hospital and she couldn't pay the bills and Peter blocked her on every platform she could assess him and further threatened her to forget his existence. She did, she forgot everything except everything he did to her. She finally got out of the hospital alive and used her school fees for her final y
They headed towards the entrance and Amy started walking down the stairs. She looked up and realized there were still quite a few paparazzi outside. A few flashes went out towards her direction before realizing she wasn't that important and they stopped. Somehow it made her a little happy. She turned around looking for Azariah and he stood inside. He seemed to be on a call because she called out to him but he didn't reply to her . Instead, he kept signaling her to come back inside the building and she headed back inside to see what he had to say."Hey yo" "Santino, what's good?" Azariah hit up his personal weed dealer who was in charge of his weed farm. He had a lot of properties, some of them were registered under his name, some were registered under other people's name who he registered as collateral but they were also under his protection till it became a federal case. By no means, he wasn't a drug dealer, he just had a few operations here and there with illegal stuffs from bu
"That's creepy as hell Azariah and it's your funeral," Amy dismissed.There was something about the statement he made that made her stomach drop into a pool of doubt and obscure fears. Things she hadn't addressed like what if everything they said about him was true, what if he was actually ruthless, heartless and cunning, and she was falling for the forte, the cherry facade he dished out to her on a cute platter, it made her think about her whole life again and this was one of the times where she felt she had the advantage of thinking straight before things got wild.They were in front of the Grand Finesse hotel like Araceli's hotel in the city, it looked like a building from one of the old Scottish movies she had watched. Or though it was decorated by beautiful carvings that had emotions spilled all over it and the glass turntable doors like the one she saw in the movies.The lights were golden and green, Just like the lamp outside the hotel, they were all golden lights with green g
