Qyxiella “OH, C’MON, QUE-xa-ella! You can do it! You can find a man tonight and ace our bet!” Zhenesca, one of my best friends, naughtily smiled as she drank her tequila and said my name drunkenly.I exhaled a bored sigh. Zhen is correct. I could easily meet a man tonight if I wanted to, because this was Zhenesca and Forester's dare, to give up my first kiss to the man who would catch my eye tonight. Our bet was made five years ago, but would only happen tonight. “Stop it, Zhen. Let Qyxie decide on her own. Remember that forcing people to do things against their will would give a bad outcome?” Forester, who was busy mixing her drinks, glared at Zhenesca to stop her from teasing me.Zhenesca shook her head because Forester was always contradicting whatever she said.The three of us were having a good time at Club QyZheTer. This high-end club was located in the beautiful city of Cebu and was owned by us, hence the combination of our names. We founded the club four years ago, after my 1

Qyxiella “OH, C’MON, QUE-xa-ella! You can do it! You can easily find a man who will willingly give in to you tonight!” Zhenesca, one of my best friends, naughtily smiled as she drank her own mixed tequila and said my name drunkenly.I exhaled a bored sigh.

QyxiellaI took off the Versace sunglasses that were covering my eyes, placed them on my head, and yawned weakly, still feeling a bit sleepy. The sun is setting in the west and kissing the horizon. The sky glows crimson and blankets the island with its splendid view. I leaned back in my recliner seat and looked up at the orange glow of the sky that has been my daily routine in Isla Lobos for the past eight years. I would go down to the beach every afternoon to watch the sunset and reminisce on my life nine years ago.Sunset brightens my gloomy mood, and as the sun sets, it takes my sorrow away. I couldn’t even imagine it, but I felt better every time I watched the sun going down to sleep, but lighting the other part of the world.I turned my head to look at the crowd on the beach. Couples are kissing. Naked girls walking around with wine or hard liquor in their hands, flaunting their stunning bodies.

"Good evening, baby!" I smiled widely at Bler as I entered the kitchen. He was busy cooking and I shook my head because he didn't even hear me coming. He was wearing headphones!I tsked and blew a soft breath. I leaned on the doorframe and grinned like a lovesick fool while watching my boyfriend lovingly. Bler's back was on me so I could freely scrutinize him in silence. His upper body was bare and I could see his muscle reflexes at every movement. He got the right muscles in the right places. My boyfriend is one hell of a man. A perfect shape for a handsome face. His movement was fast but accurate, which shows his expertise in the kitchen, with his cooking skills on top. He is one hell of a chief. That is one of the reasons why I like him. Not only was the food yummy, but my boyfriend was also!My subconscious giggled at the thought.For almost a year of being together, we hardly ate out because Bler always cooks for me. Well, he owns a restaurant, so I am not surprised anymore.
