Chapter 5 - 4

When Elyse arrived at her penthouse, as usual, no one welcomed her, aside from the eerie silence. She opened the curtains and walked directly towards her closet room. She's just going to pick up some clothes and be done here. After she packed her clothes and other necessary things, she drove again to the nearest mall to buy a simple gift for Brett.

Actually, Brett is her bestfriend. They met when Elyse was still training to be a director at the company. At that time, Brett's parents are stockholders in Elyse's family company, and at that time, he's also training because he will soon, in the future, handle their lines of business. In short, he's an heir to a large company. They have been friends for years now, and then Elyse met Allyson, who owned a fashion house. She actually applied to be her model, but after working there for about a month, Elyse quit and went to work for their own company. And yeah, Brett and Allison met because of Elyse, and they have also been together for two years now.

Elyse hopes they will be happy with each other until the end.

After buying a simple watch for Brett, the usual gift Elyse gave to him for the last few years, but he never said anything, she drove again towards the said hotel resort. Of course, it was owned by the birthday boy. The trip was not long, and when Elyse arrived, the loud music welcomed her.

It was refreshing to hear this after almost a month of not going to a club! Elyse's boring life just revolves around drinking, partying, and having fun. If people were in her shoes, they would surely agree or even choose death because they couldn't survive this kind of life.

Some people that Elyse knows smile and just greet her. "El? Wow! It's been a while since we last saw you! Many guys were waiting for your grand entrance, you know. Haha!" A guy welcomed Elyse with open arms. He was smiling from ear to ear. She was a bit confused. She knew his face was a bit familiar, but she literally forgot his name.

Elyse smirked, playing with his words. "Don't say it like that. People might misunderstand that I just sleep and flirt around every time I attend our little get together."

He laughed loudly, and that attracted a lot of attention. She frowned. This little... it's obvious why he's attracting so much attention. He continued to flirt with Elyse. "You never fail to make me smile, El! You're even more gorgeous tonight! How about a room tonight? Should we hang out together?"

Elyse waved her hand, declining him flatly. "Nah, I will probably be busy for the whole night. You see, my best friend, Allyson, won't give me to anyone tonight. Hahaha~!"

"That's too bad..."

After that little talk, she continued walking towards the hotel after not seeing Allyson or even Brett in the huge crowd outside. But then, she discovered the in the hotel lobby, kissing each other. Not minding the people that might see them.

Elyse softly smacked her head because of what she saw. These little kids would surely never choose the right place to make out. Allyson was sitting in Brett's lap while they were passionately kissing each other. When Brett almost touched Allyson's boobs, Elyse immediately spoke up to get both of their attention.

"... You two. I wasn't informed that some live porn would welcome me. Wow! That's really incredible." If Elyse knew she would watch this live scene, she would have bought some pop corn on the way. But Elyse really felt bad for stopping them. 'But, you really need to stop making me watch this live scene.'

It seems like the two horny people noticed her, so they stopped and their heads both turned around the same time to face Elyse. She almost laughed because of how funny it got when they turned around together, but let's stay with the serious face.

"Elyy? Woah! You're really still alive? I couldn't believe this! " Brett said, teasing Elyse. Brett was the first one who spoke. He didn't even feel embarrassed in the slightest that Elyse saw them kissing. Elyse just playfully rolled her eyes at them. Allyson, on the other hand, turns into a statue. She literally froze up. She was so shocked that someone saw them making out. Elyse knows, Allyson was embarrassed to the point that her face right now looks like a fresh tomato.

She softly grabbed Allyson from Brett's embrace and kissed her cheek. "Stay sane, babe. I didn't mean to see that." Elyse whispered through her ears. Allyson hugged Elyse back and said, "It's fine, but it's so embarrassing." She sighed while talking. Elyse immediately nodded. "Yeah, I can feel the second-hand embarrassment. That's too hot though."

Allyson slightly pulled Elyse's hair and said, "Stop teasing me, will you? I don't want to look into your eyes now." Elyse pushed Allyson from their embrace and grabbed both of her shoulders. "Don't. Just think that it was a clown who saw you. Or that you always see me sleeping around, so you shouldn't feel embarrassed, okay?" Elyse looked at Allyson's eyes with a serious expression. Convincing her that it will actually work out.

The little bastard who was just watching from the side suddenly laughed. "Stop doing that, Ely! Haha! Allyson is innocent, don't corrupt my baby's mind." This time, Brett is the one who grabbed Allyson and embraced her tightly.

"So, I'm the only corrupt here? You are the one who corrupts Allyson though, right?" Elyse looked at him flatly. "Get out of here." Then, she pointed to the exit of the hotel. Brett just annoyedly laughed at her. "If you forgot, this is our hotel And wait! It's my day!" Elyse shook her head, "I don't care, just get out because tonight, Allyson is mine!"

"You're seriously crazy today, Eli." I glared at him. "Okay, okay!" He said it as a sign of defeat. "Treat my baby well, okay?" Elyse punched his broad shoulder. "So cheesy! Get out of here now!" Brett had already exited, but Allyson was still frozen. Elyse slightly shakes her whole body to wake her up. "Hey, you still breathing?"

"Of course, duh!"

Elyse grinned, "That's too hot, ha." She said, still referring to the earlier scene. "Stop teasing me, dude!" Allyson gave Elyse a death glare. Elyse doesn't know why, but even if they call that a death glare, if Allyson is the one who did that, fuck, it turns out to be a cute expression! She wants to pinch her rosy cheeks!

Elyse put down her small bag and the paper bag that had Brett's gift inside. "Oh, I forgot this one..."

"That's fine. Let's just give that to him later." Allyson grabbed both of Elyse's hands and said, "Something happened, right? You're so gloomy today." Elyse smiled, Allyson really knows her too well. Elyse gave her a big smile and even laughed earlier, but Allyson still noticed her real mood. "Yeah, you know... just some useless things."

She looked at Elyse with a sad expression and eventually gave her a hug. Allyson softly pat Elyse's back. "I don't want to push you to tell me your problems, but I am willing to listen. So tonight, please let out all the bad emotions you kept inside and have fun, babe..."

Allyson returned Elyse's soft hug and smiled, even if Allyson couldn't see it. "... shall we, then?"
