I am doing shots with Andre and Siya and we are having a mini-competition between us to see who is going to down how many shots in a minute and oh! Siya is my friend other than Andre whom I met when I first moved to Los Angeles and she saw my vulnerable and weak moments.
I never thought I am going to trust again after the betrayal I got from the people I loved and trusted but Siya made me trust again and made me give a relationship chance which is our friendship and I am very thankful to her and indebted.
While I and Andre are event managers and I own my business. Siya has her chain of Seven-star hotels. She may get those as an heirloom but she worked so hard to make those hotels so famous and fill her family's money more.
She has a lot of money but she doesn't like to show off and I like this about her other than her loyalty to our friendship. She helped me when I needed investment to start my business and she recommended her customers to me and advertised my company. It took a lot of time for me to down my guards in front of her but we made a strong bond.
I have crossed the stage of tipsy to half-drunk and if I don't stop now then I am going to need people to carry me to my apartment. Who cares what happens afterward, I just need to drink till I forgot those dark brown eyes and plump lips which made me lose my tough facade and walls which I built so strong.
" Enya! You need to get laid tonight. You are a celibate from the past two years and it's time to break your celibacy." Siya yelled at the top of her lungs because the music in the bar is so loud which made it harder to listen to anything.
" yes, I usually don't agree with her on anything but this, I agree with her," Andre said downing his fourth shot. We are still competing with each other downing the shots continuously but forgot the time limit. Andre and Siya are like tom and Jerry they have a love-hate relationship.
" nooooo, I am not going to get laid, not now, not tomorrow, never." I nodded my head no and scrunched my face in disgust.
" why? Girlie! You completed your project successfully and earned a lot of money from it. So, why not? Go, get it." She cheered loudly making me laugh.
" No siya, I don't want to wake up in a stranger's bed the next morning and do the walk of shame," I said finishing my vodka shot and wincing slightly due to its burn. I like the burn when it starts from the throat to the stomach slowly.
" ugh! You are no fun, Enya. I am going to go and find my tonight's prey and hunt him down." She said smirking and setting her finished shot glass on our table and getting up.
Siya and I git ready at my apartment and I did her make as she ordered me to do which is a nude makeup look with a bold dark brown lipstick. She is wearing a silver short dress that hugged her body like a glove. She is petite and tall. Everything looks great on her. Siya is a goddess with tanned olive skin and curls adorning her hand.
As for me, I am blessed with curves and hips. Sometimes I feel good about it and sometimes feel insecure about my looks. Siya forced me to wear a black dress which is the same as her other than the color. I have blonde- golden hair with green and blue mixed eyes. My eyes are my treasured feature.
Siya hugged me and said her goodbyes to us already finding her prey and getting ready to go out. Andre and I are the only ones at our table.
" you should get laid enya. I don't know how you are living a life of a saint." He said clicking his tongue and nodding his head.
" not you too andre and I swear I'll kill you if you bring this topic again," I warned him throwing daggers at him.
" no, no don't kill me. I am sorry." Andre said lifting his hands in submission.
" Okay, I am going to the restroom and if you find someone too then goes ahead. I will take a taxi home." I teased him and started making my way to the washroom. I heard andre saying to call him if I need him and a ride home but I am not going to do that because I don't like depending on others and giving them trouble.
I am not that drunk and I can handle myself pretty well.
I relieved myself in the empty stall and it was a big task to get through the swarm of people to get to the washroom and thankful it is not full. I washed my hands and checked my makeup in the mirror and left. I have to swim through the sea of people to reach the exit. I was met with mixed perfumes, sweat, sex, and smoke making me hold my breath and which is so hard.
I struggled to get out from the throngs of people and at last, succeeded with much difficulty and stumbled on someone. Strong arms cradled me and instantly I am engulfed with the familiar scent of forest and smoke. My drunk mind made very suggestive and dirty pictures in my head in a second.
I pulled myself out of those arms which are making me take back every promise I made myself to never seem weak and block every conscience and let loose for a night.
We stood in front of each other with a gap of a single strand of hair. If one of us moves a little then it practically feels like we are glued to each other and I am liking this distance between us. Inhaling his scent and warmth.
Jeon tilted his face and brought it near my face and for a second I thought he is going to kiss me but to my disappointment, he moved his mouth towards my ear and asked. His warm breath tickled my ear and that traveled down to my toes which made me clench my thighs hard. He moved his face back leaving the same gap between us.
" Are you okay?
concern etched on his face but I am unable to see his eyes due to his hair covering them.
" I guess, I am?" I replied unsurely.
" what are you doing here? I mean, I thought you went back." I tilted my head and did the same what he did and he heard his small gasp which makes me realize he is also bothered by the closeness and if I wouldn't be this close I would have never heard his gasp.
He cleared his throat and Answered but this time not leaving any gap between us and gluing his body to mine. A small moan left my mouth with our proximity. I don't know if he heard or not and at this point I don't care about anything other than tasting his lips and losing myself in him.
" I wanted to taste LA's booze that's why I stayed back." He said with so much intensity looking into my eyes biting his lower lip. I spotted his hidden answer, he wants to taste me. I don't care if he is making up that to get into my pants. And I don't care if he is younger than me and I know he is but I welcome him wholeheartedly.
For a night, I want to forget everything, every stab, every betrayal, every pain every demon which makes their home in my head and torments me daily making my survival hard. I just want to lose myself in him and let my walls down for once. Only one night and after that, I will go back to my demons with whom I fight daily to survive and build back my walls stronger as I build before.
"So, what are you waiting for?" I murmured putting my hands on his broad chest and ducking my head down to taste the forbidden apple waiting and seducing me to devour it.
The minute my lips touched his electricity buzzed in my head and throughout my body and I felt a whole zoo in my stomach.
He tastes of coffee, trouble, forbidden, and my end.
