"Finally in Italy" I said to myself as I go down the stairs.
When I got home I wore a black Lace cocktail dress and went to the Ash Gray Place in Italy to hangout with my friends. Desiree , Rare , Zaira , and Ashdi was there.
Desiree wore a black tube top and ripped jeans and her hair is tied in a sleek ponytail.
Rare is wearing a white bodycon off shoulder mini dress that hugged her curves completely.
Zaira wore a cami top and ripped jeans.
Ashdi as usual wearing her oversized hoodie and jeans.
"Ashdi you're at a club not a pajama party" Desiree told her.
"Im here to take care of ya'll when you got drunk." She said and drank her root beer and wore her hood and read a book.
We were dancing at the dancefloor drinking out drinks. I have a low alcohol tolerance but hey Ashdi is here anyways.
"Come on join us" Desiree told Ashdi.
"Im reviewing for board exams , so shoo" Ashdi drove us away.
We continued dancing as we took our shots of tequila and vodka.
"The DJ looks hot" Desiree said.
"That's DJ Khalil , minsan lang sya ritobsa Italy and nag D-Dj sya dito pag trip nya" Zaira answered.
Napansin kong matiim na nakatingin si Ashdi sa DJ , but hey this is my story so later na sya.
"Ahhh" I said as the tequila coats my throat
"Grabe sis ngayon kalang nakainom?" Desiree said.
"Im not allowed to drink , Im just sneaking you know" I clarified.
"Hey there" A man told me since I was tipsy I went to the flow.
"Can I get ya a drink?" He asked.
"Oh sure hon" I tapped his shoulder.
"Here , peak dellusion" He gave me a drink.
I drank it and my body felt hot and it increased my libido and I danced crazily with the music and wrapped my arm around the man who gave me the drink.
"Hey hon" pinched his nose.
I feel dizzy and everything was blurry all I can hear is the club music.
"Go on sweet grind that sexy ass of yours" he nibbled my ear and did what he said.
I feel like a stranger in my body there was something controlling me.
Fuck all the pressure and problems for now I'll enjoy first I'll figure out my life later on.
The man started touching me sensually and made me drank more alcohol and later on.
There is an another man who punched him and collapsed on the floor.
He carried me and got my phone.
"Let go of me!!" I said with all of my strength and punched his chest but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it.
"I'll kill you" I threatened him but he just chuckled.
"Come? guardati, gli uomini avrebbero potuto approfittare di te adesso" How? look at yourself , men could have took advantage of you now. "Good thing woman I was here" he added.
I puked all over his clothes.
"Cazzo" he hissed.
I lost conciousness and woke up in an unknown room.
I looked at myself and I was wearing an oversized hoodie. and mens boxer shorts. I looked inside me and thank God I still have my underwear on.
I saw someone going off the shower water droplets are dripping throughout his body , broad shoulders , toned back , and his curly hair is wet and pushed back.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"Hey there fiancé" He said and faced me.
Tanned skin , 6 pack abs , chiseled V-line and jawline. Damn his body is sculpted to perfection , medium long beard , and his hazel green eyes are beguiling to look at.
"Fuck , you again?" I hissed.
"Don't accept drinks from random strangers" He said as he dry his hair.
"May nangyari ba saatin?" Napalunok ako.
"Woman , Im not a necrophiliac" he clarified and gave me green tea and bananas.
"That's good for you" He said and went inside the closet.
'He's kinda okay' I told myself.
He's now wearing a Black sweatshirt and a pair of athletic shorts.
"Eat that woman , It's good for hangovers" he said and leaned on the wall.
"I have a name" I told him as I peel the banana.
"Okay Legacy" he said used his phone.
I was eating the banana and he took a picture of me.
"Delete that" I hissed.
"Nope" he said and put his phone inside his pocket.
"You drank peak dellusion , It increases someones sexual drive , It's like a drug that makes you high and make you do things you'll regret tomorrow" He explained.
"I see , Mr. Ashton" I said and drank tea.
"Legacy you can stay here until you feel okay" he told me as he removed the tray on top of my lap.
"Ilang babae na dinala mo rito?" I can't help but to ask him
"Ikaw palang" he shrugged.
"Im not stupid Mr. Ashton , I know your reputation when it comes to ladies" I told him.
"You're a different case Legacy , you're a fucking virgin and I dont fuck unexperienced women" he scoffed.
"Oh god Mr. Ashton , Why do you have to tell me that?" I said disgusted.
"To clarify things up" he said.
"Where am I?" I asked him.
"House 29 , Monrell Hills , Italy"
" Thank you Mr. Ashton for taking well care of me and see ya" I got out off the bed and stretched he pulled me close to him and combed my hair using his fingers.
"Always tie your hair woman" he said as he gather my hair together. "O kaya paiklian mo para di natatakpan yang mukha mo" he added and tied my hair into a ponytail.
"There , you look pretty" he said sarcastically.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked him.
"I was bothered by your hair woman" he said casually.
"So fastidious" I rolled my eyes.
"You can have my hoodie" he said and combed his hair using his fingers.
"Can I touch it?" I said.
"My friend or my hair?" He chuckled.
"Fuck you Mr. Ashton"
"Ihahatid na kita Legacy" He said and gave me a box .
"What's this?" I asked.
"Your dress" he said and got his keys.
"Where do you live?"
"Monrell condominums" I answered.
The trip was silent , I was online buying some fabric for the gown I'm making.
1 message from Ashdi...
Happy Birthday.
I back read messges from Ashdi and turns out Grunt messaged her.
Goodevening , This is Grunt Zyzy Ashton , Legacy's fiancé , your friend is in good hands no need to worry.
I forgot It's my birthday today , we usually don't celebrate birthdays , It's just like a normal day just a normal dinner will do.
"buon compleanno" He said , still eyes on the road.
"Gracias" I boredly said.
"No celebrations?" He asked.
"We don't do that"
"Si , I'll be there" I heard him said.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Nothing legacy"
"Thanks for the ride Mr. Ashton" I said he nod and drove away.
I went inside the unit and as usual Ashdi was there reading her books.
"You did not tell me that you're engaged" salubong nito saakin habang nagbabasa pa.
"I mean we are not that official , we dont have a ring , we're just arranged" I clarified.
"Desiree head back to the Philippines , and Zaira is inside" she said and took a sip of coffee and answered her called.
"Yes , Mr. Florence" She said and went to the kitchen.
I draw some designs for my requirements and got a message from mother.
From Mother:
What were you thinking Legacy?, act prim and proper don't let Mr. Ashton see your bad side.
So she knew about it already. Arghhh this sucks sana ako nalang si kuya.
Haven't got a single greeting from my family , even my kuya.
"Frustrated , ei?" Ani ni Zaira habang humihithit ng sigarilyo at may binato saaking rectangular box.
"Happy Birthday" she said and I opened it.
It's a Graf von faber-castell perfect pencil.
"I saw that you want it but you still have no budget so I bought it for you. Dont cry" she chuckled.
"Thanks Zen"
"No worries , I have to head back to the Philippines now" She said and left my room.
"Kumain ka muna" Ashdi knocked on the door.
"Sorry Ashdi , marami lang talaga akong iniisip" I told her.
"I'll be leaving next week for my licensure , kaya mo ba?" She caressed my hair.
"I can manage Ashdi" I sighed.
"Mag rant ka muna my studying can wait" She sat on the bed and grabbed a pillow.
"So um ganito kasi Ashdi , Im tired na I need to act based on people's expectations. I mean kahit naman I got used to it , still mahirap parin."
"Go on" she said.
"My parents know how Im allergic to relationships but here they are forcing me to someone that I barely even know. I dont even know how to love myself now I have to make that person fall inlove with me." I continued.
"Tell me Ashdi , mahirap ba akong mahalin?" I asked her.
"Hindi" she said with no hesitations.
"How?"
"Gusto ko hanapin mo ang bagay na kamahal mahal sayo Love. Kasi hindi dapat ako ang magsasabi sayo dapat alam mo iyon sa sarili mo." She explained.
"Boom words of wisdom from ate Ashdi" She chuckled.
"You have a point" I told her.
"I always do , Love" she said and removed her glasses.
"Paano kung walang kamahal mahal saakin?" I asked.
"Sus , walang ganon palaging meron yan" she assured me.
"May cake sa kusina kain ka lang doon" she said and looked at my designs.
"Malayo ang mararating mo Love" she said as she look through my drawings.
"You think?" I asked her.
She nodded her head.
"Basta pag kailangan mo ng plus sized model nandito lang ako" she chuckled.
"You dont really give a damn about your figure no?"
"Yep , cakes before baes" she said.
"Akala ko gusto mong mag model?" I asked her.
"Char char lang yun , syempre med talaga ang gusto kong ipursue." She clarified.
"Kain na tayo nakakahiya sayo dapat ang may birthday yung unang mag sli-slice" she pulled me to the kitchen.
The doorbell rang and I went to get the door there is just a small box infront and I came to get it.
'Buon compleanno. Dal Grunt'
I opened the box and it's full of hair accessories and hair ties and a post it note inside.
'Please tie your hair , I dont want it covering your lovely face'
-Grunt Ashton.
"Ayus din tong si future husband may pa lovely lovely fes pang nalalaman" she bitterly said.
"Stop it Ashdi" I hissed. "Im actually expecting a greeting from mom or dad , but nothing" I said dissapointed.
"Atleast may mga magulang ka" She said as a matter of fact. Ashdi is an orphan she grew up at an orphanage raised by nuns no wonder she's really deep and conservative.
"Sorry about that Ashdi"
"No need" she said and took another bite off the cake.
"Wanna go to the club?" I asked her.
"Really Love? Muntikan ka na pagsamantalahan kahapon tapos usto mo pa umulit" she scoffed.
"Fine then Ashdi" I rolled my eyes.
I continued drawing my designs and mother called me.
"Si mama?" I asked her.
[ You'll be the representative of the Stefano Trading at the associations ball ] she stated.
"Si mama , when?" I asked.
[ 9pm Florence Hall ] mom said and ebded the call.
I checked the time and It's 7:30 pm already. I immediately took a shower , dried my hair , tied my hair into a french braid , and did a light makeup. I wore an off shoulder mermaid gown and went outside.
A chauffeur drove me to the venue.
I went inside and the hall is filled of grand and elegant businessman and nobilities. Their clothes states riches and power and the venue looks luxurious as well.
I walked around first , usually when my mom and dad goes through a party like this I just usually stand at the corner and wait for them to finsh their businesses.
"Legacy hija" A woman about mom's age called me.
"Hello auntie" I said and smiled I dont even know her name but I already saw her before.
"Call me mama hija , Im Grunt's mother" She introduced herself.
"Sorry auntie , everything is just new to me" I told her.
"Okay hija , you're still pretty uncomfortable. Maiwan muna kita" she said and left me.
Thank god I really hate socializing.
"Gavin Azrael Princeton" A man about my age introduced himself.
"Im Legacy Love Stefano" I introduced and shaked his hand.
"You can call me Gap for short" He said.
"Can call me Legacy or Love"
"But I prefer you calling her Legacy" Grunt said behind him.
