Chapter 5 - 5

We went back inside after we had the heart-to-heart talk. We felt a little lighter. This is one reason why we care so much for each other. It builds our relationship I believe.

I went straight to get a drink from the barman. I went back to meet the others after getting my drinks.

Already Bella was seated. she made a face when she saw me with vodka. I wasn't one for strong drinks. Bella knew that no matter what she say, I won't listen to her.

" Guys let's drink to all our problems," Ethan said raising his cup. We all raised our cups in the air and cheer loudly.

I downed mine in one gulp. I poured more into the cup and down it again. I repeated the process until I finished the drink. At this point, I was already drunk but not recklessly drunk since I could understand what is going on around me.

" I want more," I said and tried getting up but Ethan who had seen how I finished the drink stopped me from standing up.

" Aren't you drunk?" He asked.

I giggled " Do I look drunk to you ?"

" Of course you are," he told me.

" Oh please " I rolled my eyes " Just because I had a little drink doesn't mean I'm a drunkard or something "

He rolled his eyes " No one calls you a drunkard "

I was getting a little angry and needed to calm down. Ethan meant no harm, he was only watching out for me. It was rude of me to shout at him like that. It isn't fair at all.

" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you like that. I've been going through a lot lately and it made me snap at you" I apologized.

He understood or maybe not " I get it. I'm not mad at you at all. I just feel sad that you want to drink recklessly. "

He is charming and this must be the reason why Bella likes him. I used that moment to stare at Bella and she was already staring at us. So I did the unthinkable, I winked and Bella playfully sent a glare my way.

Someone called Ethan and that was how he left my side. I tried to breathe in and out in other to get hold of myself. Suddenly, I remembered the event that happened earlier this morning.

I don't get why I keep remembering that event. It's alarming. Could it be dad's enemies? Anything is bound to happen.

Why would someone be as rude as the man in the car? He didn't even get down to help me up, instead, he scares me more by pressing a honk.

At that time, I thought I was going to get run over by the car but luckily enough nothing happened. I let out a sigh and my mouth formed into a pout.

The hair on my body stood again and this time it was getting really hard to breathe. The feeling that someone was watching me came back again. This time the person was close. I can't risk it.

I build up some courage to turn in hope of coming eye to eye with whoever it was but found no one. I didn't want to be delusional but I was sure of what I felt. My feelings never betray her.

I felt a little pressed" Guys, I need to use the restroom. Will be back shortly"

Bella nodded " Don't take too long cos we are almost leaving "

*****

I closed the restroom door as I went inside. I went to the sink to sprinkle some water on my face. I sure need to get a hold of her. This is becoming scary.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I do appreciate my look tonight. Although, my mascara was a little smudged it was still okay. No one would notice unless they look deeply into my eyes.

I did a little breathing exercise. I finally got a hold of myself. I made my way to the door but turn to see if I forget anything but realized I didn't hold anything.

I released a breath I didn't know I was holding then made my way to my friends. All of a sudden I came stumbling upon a figure in front of me. I gasped loudly at the impact. I didn't see them coming.

What shocked me more was the arms around my waist. It felt like an electric shock. I felt a little tingle around my waist. It was a good feeling.

The stranger's Cologne almost blocks my nostril. I don't think I have ever perceived such delicious cologne ever before. This was something else. This was different. The feeling felt electrifying.

I was swooned by their smell that I forgot we were in an uncomfortable position. I pushed away from him immediately.

That was when my eyes snapped to the person's face. I couldn't help but gasp in shock. I didn't know whether to shrink away because of how gorgeous this person before me was. He looks so clean and handsome.

I couldn't say a word. The words disappeared at that moment. I acted like a loser. This isn't me. I'm not one to swoon over a guy but this person in front of me makes it hard for me not to. I took my time to study his face.

My heart melted the moment he smirked at me. I thought I was having a heart attack. It was the most beautiful thing ever. Who is he? I asked myself mentally.

" You like?" He said

His voice sounded so hoarse yet sexy at the same time. I was done for and no one can tell me anything. This man has stolen my heart already.

He had to click his finger in front of my face before I can finally snap out of it. I look so embarrassed.

" I..i..i...

" You don't need to feel bad. This isn't the first time this happen." He said with a wink. I didn't like what he said. I refuse to allow him to refer me like the others.

" I'm sorry I bumped into you," I said and turn to make my way with a heavy heart but I felt him pull me back.

I turn to give him a look " What do you want? I thought I apologized already"

He raised a brow challenging her " But you never apologize for ogling at me "

I felt a blush creep up my face " I did nothing wrong. It's normal"

" Hmmm," he said like someone in thought " I doubt that, from a lady like you"

She glared at him " A lady like me? What do you mean by that?"

He smirked and took a step closer to me gently. I also took a step backward matching his movement. We stopped when he finally caged me by the wall. I knew right then that I was done for, especially with his lips so close to mine.

I licked my lips the moment he stared down. at mine. I have never wished to kiss anyone so badly as I wish to kiss this man in front of me. At that moment I don't care who he was or what he does. I only want to enjoy the moment and feel his arms around me.

He pulled me by my waist so close to him. We were now chest to chest. I could feel his heartbeat through my material. It feels so hot. His hands on my waist make me want him even more.

He knew he has control over me and he was teasing me. He knew I want to kiss him as much as he wants to kiss me.

" Tell me what you want?" He whispered into my ear.

I was already lusting for him yet didn't want to give him the satisfaction to laugh at me or tease me. I refuse to say what he wanted to hear.

I tried to push back " I need to leave "

" No "

" Let me go "

." No "

" Let me fuc....

He claimed my lips instantly. At that moment I felt like the happiest woman alive. He kissed me so aggressively yet so nicely. I've never been kissed this way before. I loved it a lot. I kissed him as much as he kissed her. It was a kiss full of passion.

This man was different. I couldn't have enough of him. I wanted more from him. The more he kisses me the more I want him even more.

He bit on my lips making in the process released a gasp. It was so sensual.

The stranger was a good kisser. We stop to catch our breath. I held on to his shirt as if my life depends on it. I felt as if the moment I leave his shirt, I might fall. My legs were weak to the toes.

We stared at each other imagining what we have done. I was imagining but don't know about him. He smiled down at me.

" Do you wanna go to my place?" He asked more nicely

Something in me told me not to but I want to go with him badly.

" Yes" I answered even though I knew I was going to regret ever agreeing to this the next morning
