Sezy and I took to the dancing floor after our sweet craving have being sated.
"You look like someone free from something. " Sezy says in a tone that's not accusatory, but conversational.
" Of course, being free from something. Coming here is like a dream come through. I've always fantasized of being to a ball, and this is like the answer to that."
" I see." Sexy twirled like a pro.
"This isn't your first ballroom like a party." It's not a question at all.
Seeing as he effortlessly twirled, it's not difficult to know this isn't his first time here. No one can twirl as perfectly as he does if this happens to be his first time here.
"I've been too many." He chuckles, "mother loves all this stuff. She's the one who taught me how to twirl so perfectly." He twirled some more.
"I can see why you're a pro." I look at him in envy, "if only I can twirl as perfectly as you do." I sigh.
If only I can twirl like this, who knows, Sly might end up having a liking for me.
Maybe he loves males who twirl.
"You're not too bad yourself." Sezy laughs, "you might not be a pro like I am, but your twirl is perfect."
"Thanks."
Dancing some more with him, we decide to head to the bar.
I might not have drank any alcohol before, but that doesn't mean I can't oblige Sezy's request when he asked to go there.
"What will you like to have today?" The masked bartender asked in a friendly tone.
I'll give the owner of this place some credit. Unlike some places I've seen in movies, this place has more than ten bartenders, and that made ordering simple.
"My usual."
"And who might you be?" He tilts his head to the side.
"Sezy!"
"Sezy!" The male mocked, "I'll get your usual for you, darling."
I swear he winked at Sezy before leaving.
Sezy on his own giggled like a schoolgirl whose crush asked for a pencil.
"So…" I nudge him, "is there something going on between you two?" I raise a brow at her.
"Nah. Nothing is going on between us." Sezy laughs a bit, "he happens to be in the same department as I, that's why we're friendly with each other."
" I see."
Sezy is one lucky bitch. He's really lucky to be in school, while I'm unlucky to be paired with a husband who wants me to stay at home all day instead of going to school like others.

I ordered a sprite, something that made Sezy cough when he heard my order.
"You're not taking any alcohol?" He asked as if not taking Alcohol is a crime.
" Will you laugh if I tell you I've not taken alcohol all my life?"
"Wait a minute, you've not taken Alcohol? What are you, a saint?"
"Nah, my hus… I mean, my mother doesn't support that." I turn my attention to the dancing floor to avoid his eyes of criticism, and that's when I noticed a male looking straight at us.
"Who's that?" I nudge Sezy.
"Who?"
"The only male sitting on that red Sofa," I whisper to him. Discreetly looking at the male who's sitting on the cushion, I hastily turn my face towards the bar.
"Oh my gosh!" Sezy whisper yelled. "That's the owner of this place." He says in a conspirator's voice.
"I see."
That explains why he seems to have a certain aura surrounding him.
The surrounding females kept on staring glances at him, but he doesn't seem to notice.
"But why is he looking at me?" I whisper lowly, "could it be he's noticed this is my first time being here?"
" Nah, it's not possible. This is the second time I've seen him here, and the first was when there was a situation in the music area."
" But why's he staring?" I chance a look at him, and sure, he's still staring at me.
"I don't know." He makes a motion for me to bend a little, and I did. "The owner of this place is said to have a peculiar character."
" How so?" I ask eagerly.
Something as juicy as learning the secrets of the owner of this place is something I can't pass out.
Marli will love to know this type of juicy secret.
"I don't know." Shrugging, Sezy takes a sip of his drink.
"You don't know?" I frown in disappointment.
"I don't. I just overheard the conversation, but they stopped when they noticed me listening in on them."
" I see."
" Hello, lovely." Someone slid on the chair next to mine, but I paid them no heed.
" Hello." He says again, and this time, I turn to face him.
" Hi." Waving a bit, I turn to Sezy who's busy checking the mail out.
"I've not seen you around here before, is it your first time being here?"
" Yes, it is," I reply, giving him a look, my eyes landed on the ring line on his left finger. "Today's my first day here."
"Wow, I can see that. What's your name?"
Smiling a bit, I take Sezy's hand. "Let's go."
"But I've not finished my drink just yet." He pouts.
"Leave it, let's go and dance."
I need to leave this place before the married man thinks of saying anything more.
"Oh, okay." Gulping down his drink, Sexy followed me to the dance floor, murmuring under his breath as he followed me.
"Can you cease complaining?"
"Why should I do that when you didn't allow me to finish my drink?"
"Let's go and dance, no need to pout like a baby."
" Of…." Trying to remove his hand from mine, he mistakenly pushed me.
Like a slow-motion movie, I started free-falling. Expecting to make a collision with the floor, I wasn't expecting to fall on something soft.
Looking up in surprise, I lock my eyes with that of the same stranger who's been looking at me ever since he sat on the cushion.
