A/n: This is for chapter 47. *** "Just go to that parking lot." Paul instructed. I looked at the high-end bar not far from us. "You still have some mood for a drink? Shouldn't you go home?" This man has no money and phone on him. And he still wants to play outside? "It's fine. This club is owned by a friend of mine. And I also have some shares." Paul smiled. He jumped out of the car and gave me a wink. "Thank you for the ride. Let's meet again when I have my phone. So I could get your number." He then blew me a kiss which I disgustedly avoided. Paul just laughed and left. Kane's cousin...was very different from him. But both of them were weird. I was about to drive away when I saw Paul running back to my car. What now? "Open it quickly!" I saw him mouthing in panic. I quickly opened the door for him. He went in and hurriedly closed the door. He then stick his face close to the window and was watching something to the side. "Why did you come back?" What does this man want t
Even without the ID, the guard and the host knows Paul so we were able to come in. Paul opened up one of the VIP rooms. This room was big and everything we need was there. We have our own private bar, big couches, karaoke, and board games. At the front was a huge glass wall that oversee the dance floor below. We can choose to draw the curtain to get some privacy. It was not night yet, so there were not many people on the dancefloor. Paul mentioned that the real party starts at midnight when people get wasted and the music bangs to the roof. "Do you drink?" Paul took the bartender's spot and mixed up some drinks. I watched him show his skills in bartending with interest. "I don't. But I would like to try." It was rare for me to take initiative to drink. I just want to get those complicated thoughts out of my mind. "How much can you take?" Paul skillfully opened another bottle and it made a 'plop' sound. "Just little sips." "How could you get fun with little sips? To start the p
A/n: This is chapter 49. *** Paul and I made a bet. Paul bet that Eduardo would end up with Layla and that Kane would never be able to confess to Layla. And even if he did, he would be rejected. I snorted at that and we continued our drinking session. Paul also prepared his drink. It was stronger than mine. Paul was a party-goer and lived up to his promise to entertain me well. I did not expect much from him. I thought he would be irresponsible but he was actually being considerate. He did not leave me behind and avoided the crowd so I would be comfortable. "It is a bit boring with just the two of us. How about I invite some friends?" Paul said after a while. I looked at the empty room. There were many board games and it would be a pity to not use them. If it was another day, I would have denied the idea and would prefer to drink alone. Perhaps it was because of the drink or those little squeezes in my heart that I agreed. "Just call the trustful ones." Paul strongly promi
A/n: This is for chapter 50. **** Wayne walked towards me and sat at my side. "Where is Bill?" "His family called. He had to go home." "Oh." Wayne handed me the drink. "Sober yourself with this." I drank the coffee and my whole body relaxes. I should be on guard being alone with another man that I just met today. But I felt comfortable with Wayne and it felt like we had been friends for a long time. Wayne and I clicked together whatever topic it is. The music was loud and the cheers below were getting louder. I saw Paul and George join the dance floor. Since the two don't have a partner, they compete with each other. George danced like a woman earning loud cheers from the crowd. "Are you sure you are friends with them?" I asked teasingly. "I really questioned that often too." Wayne answered seriously. But there was a laugh at the corner of his mouth. We watched the dancefloor as we conversed in the VIP room. There was no awkwardness between us. No matter how much nois
Kane was silent as he pulled me towards his car.His expression was dark.What was he so angry about?I pulled him to stop."Hold on."But Kane did not hear me and continued to walk. His pace was fast. He has long legs so his steps were big. I can barely keep up."Wait! Stop, Kane!"Kane suddenly stopped. He looked at me with dark eyes.I pulled my hand from him and massaged my wrist."What are you doing here?""I came here to fetch you. Or do you want to stay the night in that club with that man?"I frowned. I could not appreciate Kane coming here with this mean attitude of his. "If you are just going to spout nonsense and accused me then just leave on your own. I have my car here. I'll drive on my own."Kane suddenly stepped forward and put his head between my neck.I flinched. His warm breath hit my neck making me shudder. Kane sniffed."You reek of alcohol. Do you want to be arrested? Drunk while driving?"I pushed him away. "I am perfectly fine.""It's three bottles. How are yo
At this moment, Kane walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. It was piping hot.Kane put it in front of me. "I have some leftovers from the breakfast soup that I made earlier. You should eat this first to warm your stomach. I'll just keep some of the dishes for you to eat later."I looked at the bowl of soup in silence.I argued with him earlier and I made him upset. But he still heated the soup and served it to me?I stared at Kane's face.There was still a frown on his face and his voice was somewhat cold. But his actions were gentle and considerate.A familiar sensation rose up to my chest. It's different from the uncomfortable squeeze that I felt the whole day.This feeling rose when Kane prepared breakfast for me for the first time, when he drove me to school even though he doesn't have to. When he first texted me, when he waited for me to finish my food and when he said words of concern to me. This tingling sensation appeared whenever I met his beautiful obsidian eyes, w
A/n: This is for chapter 53. This chapter is fixed. Thanks for waiting. *** I immediately jumped out of the car the moment Kane parked his car. However, the latter also came out and ran after me. "What are you doing?" I asked him in shock. I looked around to see if there were any people around. My eyes brushed a blonder hair but before I could take a closer look, that person was gone. "There are only two of us here. Anyway, I wanted to tell you something." Kane started to speak. I hurriedly pulled him and dragged him behind a large tree. If we remain standing there in the parking lot, people would immediately see us. "Can it not wait until later?" "No. I have to say it today." "Then why you didn't say it earlier?" He had a lot of chances to say whatever he wanted to say in the car. "Nevermind, what is it?" Kane looked at me. His dark eyes were wavering a bit as if he was hesitating to say it. I don't have much time to wait on him especially when we were out in the open. W
A/n: This chapter is fixed. *** Levi replied to Gabrielle, "Stella is perfectly fine. She studies well and looks how she is treated in her department?" I wanted to stop Levi from making me the model student. Because the more he praised me, the more Gabrielle would get angry. And as I thought, Gabrielle glared at me, "Do you call that 'perfectly fine'? You need your eyes get checked." "My eyes are working well." The two started arguing again. Did these two have a fight? Why is their relationship becoming rusty ever since the teaming up? How did they survive being together all this time? Eduardo interrupted the two who were having a 'lover's quarrel'. "I came here today because I wanted to ask whose team Layla would join?" Gabrielle raised her hand. "We need another person in the group. You see, recently, Levi is always contradicting me and nagging me. We always end up fighting and not seeing eye to eye. With the additional person, someone could see who is wrong between us." L
