A contract was needed to sign with a huge sum of money along with a life time collaboration was what was needed to save the company, now that Goldmines was in trouble and there was nothing she could do.
Shots after shots her glass was always magically refilled, Rose had long since surrendered to the comfort of alcohol, a drunk Rose was a wildcat.
With enough courage burning through her veins she sent the bartender who had his eyes on her the entire night a flirty smile. the poor guy it was an invitation and was already preparing for when his shift would be over . Rose finally took notice of her sit partner who was nursing her drink with a blank look on her face. She looked young and probably still a student, but she was beautiful and her curves made her look more mature, for some odd reason she reminded Rose of herself so she was the first to initiate a conversation.
"If it a guy you are nursing that drink over then you must be a fool."
Her gaze snapped to Rose , hot and burning, you could clearly see the retaliation in those dark eyes of hers. Her mask was good her expression something worth bullying.
"Excuse me? but do you know me?"
Rose smiled , amused and ready to play.
"Men are the cause of all our problems since the beginning of time ever since ancestor Eve deceived man into eating the forbidden fruit so this is our punishment and we have to wise up and take it fully."
She had dark eyes framed by long lashes,, her make- up was splendid, it brought out her young and fresh looking face, short dark brown hair, her body donned in a little number.
Rose knew what her mission being here was about cause it was the same as hers.
"You are weird."
The girl was drunk but not enough to not know Rose was slightly hitting on her, her gaze became wary of hers.
"Nay! just drunk but still very reasonable to know you have nursed that drink long enough."
Rose granted her a relax smile that had her more comfortable in her presence. The girl was indeed young like fresh meat yet to be slaughtered but looks could be deceiving for her eyes spoke of her pain and mature mind.
"So what bastard broke your heart?"
The girl released a breath facing the drink yet again that was still in her hand.
"My boyfriend, I mean ex...."
Rose brow rose, she sounded like a neglected lover something Rose was whenever her father refuses to grant her his attention.
"Let me guess he claimed to be blinded by lust then cheated on you?"
Her eyes widen in shock as she starred at me, Rose could only smile softly feeling her heart immediately reaching out to the girl who definitely reminded her of herself
"How did you know?"
Rose refused the urge to roll her eyes at the thought of a certain blue eye bird.
"Typical male excuse."
The girl blinked before letting loose an amused smirk while seeing an elder in Rose. She felt comfortable enough to explain her situation to her, she didn't feel any judging vibe from her which was why.
"It was more than just cheating with another person it was cheating with my heart, my feelings... my everything."
Rose's heart went to hers, she felt her pain and rage as though they were hers. She wanted revenge for the stranger she met.
"Tell me where this bastard lives , I will return all the pain he has given you tenfold."
The girl was surprised by her aggression, she wasn't any white lotus and yet she was able to evoke such protective side from this dangerous beauty. It was more than shocking to her.
"Why? you don't know me."
This time it was Rose who turned to her drink, a sad smile on her lips as she spoke softly.
"You remind me of myself when I was young, its only human to wanna help."
The girl was still shock but yet she smiled at Rose like she was an old friend.
"Thanks, but there isn't any need."
Rose felt disappointed, She so wanted to try out the gift card given to her by a business partner.
"Why not?", She questioned childishly like a child not given cookies.
"He's dead."
The girl was amused, Rose made her say those words without being consumed by her own emotions, it was still shocking.
While Rose could only scowl, grumbling in annoyance
"Death was too easy for him."
Her words scared the girl a bit but she hid it well and explain further.
"Well the last time we met he drove me to a deserted distance then left me strangled with nothing, I think his death was worth it cause it was a car accident."
Rose still wasn't pleased.
"Did you cause it?"
The girl jumped.
"God!! I'm a very religious girl, why would I ever do that to the father of my still born child."
Her eyes widen once she realized the words she had said but it was too late, Rose had heard and was still moody. The girl felt like hiding from her expression while Rose felt like looking for a portal to the underworld and personally teach the fucker a lesson. Death was too easy for him, he was supposed to suffer hell on earth first.
Knowing she had let out her Pandora box open, she continued rambling without a care.
"God!! I lost myself while dating him, I lost everything then he just dies like that with what was left of me."
He was so damn lucky he didn't meet Rose.
"How long has it been?"
"Three months."
No amount to time could heal a broken pride. The girl was broken but she hid it well and for that she had Rose's respect.
"Then we need to celebrate not self pity, baby girl you just survive dating a monster living the remnant of what was suppose to be a traumatic life Fuck!! girl you just gave fate a bitch slapping wake up call that you are in charge now and you can do whatever the fuck you want."
She called the bartender who happily brought more drinks while staring at Rose like hot candy. Like every man in the club they tried get her attention but Rose already had her eyes set on one.
She smirked keeping eye contact with him before licking her lip then turn towards the girl
"Cheers to freedom."
"Cheers."
Rose felt those gaze again and decided to tease him a little. With the beat from the speaker, She crossed her legs making the slit on the dress show her delicate smooth legs, her lips suck off an ice from the drink slowly letting drop let side down the corner of her lips down to the dip of her chest. She got those trick from her Darling and the fact that the gaze got more intense meant it worked perfectly.
The girl oblivious to her action continued with her conversation feeling more at ease with her.
"So what about you? What brings you to the comfort of alcohol?."
"Similar to mine, the men currently in my life are pain in the ass."
"HA! cheers to that!!"
We clank our drink while listening to the current beat playing.
"So what are you gonna do about them?"
"That's exactly what am here tonight, to prove to them that I control my life. Am gonna upgrade my level a bunch."
Her eyes widen by my blunt words before smirking deviously.
"HA! so you and the bartender.... do the it snusnu."
It's adorable how she trust to make the words more cute
"Uh- huh! he's got hands that are wonderful for massaging, abs that ensure his stamina and a broad back just waiting for my claws to sink in but he's not whom I have my eyes set on tonight."
She looked at her like she was crazy, even Rose knew she was crazy that night, the bartender was a good choice but she was picky that night and beside this was her first time so she really had to be picky.
"Well if don't want him can I have him?"
The girl was so obvious to what she wanted Rose had long seen her eyes follow him each time she he delivered their drink which was why she agreed right away.
"Sure."
Rose turned just in time to catch his eyes , those stormy gaze that had Rose's body hot and bothered seeking for an adventures only he can deliver
"What makes you think he's even interested in you."
She turned to the bartender for the last time ignoring the intruder that caught her gazing. She knew he came with him and knew he wanted her first.
"Tell My Darling I found comfort elsewhere."
Then she turned back to the intruder to give him a mocking glare.
"What makes you think it's right for you to eavesdrop on my conversation."
It felt like the world was terrified the moment she stood, she grapes the chair in a tight grip to support herself yet she was determined to get to her destination. a weak bunny walking straight into the lion den.
Staggering and almost falling on her face she felt into the arms of her prey with a huge grin ignoring the burning gazes of their audience she caressed his sharp jaw finding his beauty to be out of the world.
"Hey handsome, the name's Red and you mister are in for a wild fantasy for staring at me for long."
She pretended to be the predator to get what she wanted from him, her eyes locked with his gray ones that held her captive, spellbound.
The man raised a brow at her blunt words the side of his lip stretched upwards in a small smile that only she could see up close. those small reaction were enough to let Rose know she was the prey and he was the mighty predator.
It was too late to return for fate already tied their destiny.
