"Heartbreaker", Scarlett rotated her head and meet the only face she had gotten familiar with in the club. The boy's left brow raised slightly with the rest of the expressions remained fixed and unwavering. They were standing in a position that was giving off a back hug scene with the arm of the boy still snaked around the waist of the professor.
"I heard that you are a heartbreaker", the girl's words weren't coming out slurred. With a fairly good tolerance, she could be a little tipsy with blurred vision making it kind of difficult for her to walk straight, but her reactions would be quicker. To not let anyone take advantage of her intoxicated state, her mind would be on alert, neurons transmitting signals at full tilt.
"You must have also heard that I'm an amazing seducer", the boy gave her the same smirk when she first saw him. Their faces were too close that the professor felt the words of the boy tingling over her skin.
"Yeah, go and do what you're good at. You wouldn't want to waste your time with me cause you and I will never end in the same bed", she closed her eyes shut as the vision started getting cloudy again.
"Now let go of me. I was walking down", she felt the grip loosen and lifted her foot to cross another stair-step but she never felt the rigid surface. First, she only felt like flying in clouds with her feet on the ground because of alcohol but now she could feel her feet in the air too. Blinking her eyes rapidly, she found that she was being carried by the boy.
"I can walk myself. I just drank a little bit", she mumbled in his chest but didn't complain. She didn't want to wake up with stitches on her face the next morning.
"Sure, you can", a little bit? The boy would believe her if he hadn't caught a glimpse of all those empty glasses on her table.
He continued walking down, not a slight of emotions to be seen on his face. If it was a movie, all the eyes would have been fixed on the couple the instant he had lifted the girl in his arms, but since there was no movie playing, people were busy in their world, chatting with each other, drinking and dancing. However, the couple didn't go ignored by a pair of eyes that just happened to enter the club.
Natalie, the boy's ex from one night stands, was standing with her group of friends, looking snappily at the girl in the arms of the boy she had a huge craze on, well, she wasn't the only one there. After one night's hookup with the boy, she asked him for a serious relationship that categorically got rejected. Being the hottest model in the industry, she couldn't accept the refusal. Since then she had been looking for ways to get in the pants of the boy again. There were many boys who were more than just ready to drive the girl around, please her but the model had her eyes on the playboy who was nowhere near making commitments. Being loyal to only one person brought obligations, doing and not doing this and that, and that wasn't really a playboy's style.
"Hey guys, look, that's Edric Kent", one of her friends, who had hair reaching her shoulders, notified others in her group. He was slowly making his way down the stairs.
"That boy walking the stairs?", the red-haired girl asked. When she heard a small 'yeah' from her friend, she continued speaking.
"His figure looks quite the same to Edric but he can't be him. He's carrying a girl and Edric doesn't go around carrying girls. Even if you're dying on the sidewalk, he would walk past you", the girls had just entered through the door so they were standing far from the stairs. The lights were dimmed so it was difficult to identify someone from that distance.
When the boy carried on walking in their direction, the girls gasped finding out that it was no other than Edric Kent. Who was the girl! Why he had her in his arms!!!
"Told ya", the two girls started gossiping about the new girl in Edric's arms while Natalie was fuming in jealousy. She suddenly felt terrific hostility towards the girl in a black dress. She was laying her head on his chest as if she owned it, her eyes closed and both hands clasped together over her torso.
Natalie opened her mouth to stop the boy but he strode past her like a cold winter breeze, sending shivers down the spine.
"The girl is hot!", the short-hair girl exclaimed as the boy was off their sight now.
"She looks young", one with red hair rolled her eyes, clearly not happy to witness a not-so-romantic scene.
"You all should have told me that Edric would be the center of discussion for tonight. I'd not have come here", the girl who was quiet all the time, unruffled by whosoever Edric carry, let out. She thought having some fun with her friends would be a change and she would enjoy it more but now that she was here, she didn't believe she said no to her boyfriend when he asked to pick her up for a movie night.
"Yeah...yeah we know how desperate you would've been to meet your sex buddy", the red-haired responded.
"He is not my sex-buddy. Well, we do have sex but we are in a relationship and love each other. This makes him my lover, a boyfriend not some shitty of a sex buddy", she could still walk out of the door but she didn't. When she put down the offer of her boyfriend, he made some plans with his friends. Staying in the club with, sometimes behaving off the wall, friends was a better option than going back to her house and let the boredom eat her half until she received a response from her boyfriend.
"But you started dating him because you said he was good in bed and knew exactly what you need", well, maybe starring at the walls of her house wouldn't be that boring. She thought.
"Yes, wasn't Edric good with you in your bed?", she snapped back. Before the red-haired girl could reply they saw Natalie turning on her heels.
"I received a message from my manager. He said it's urgent. I need to go", the fashion icon lied. She didn't want to make it look like she was getting disgruntled and envious of the girl in Edric's arms.
When she exited the club, she saw something that she had least expected to see in the night. The girl's lips were placed on Edric's cheek.
