Chapter 1
“Hey babe, I’ve got your favorite!”
An excited smile flashed on my face as the familiar voice of my boyfriend entered my room. I immediately faced him smiling almost reaching my ear with my arms open wide waiting for his warm hug.
He didn’t waste any seconds more and quickly throw himself at me and gave me the tightest hug he could muster.
I missed him.
I pulled away and grinned to him.
Just like what he usually do, his point finger runs again in my bare face tracing my physical features. He started from my forehead making a line up until the tip of my nose, down to my lips and cupped my face and then of course his final move. Pinched my cheeks.
It’s his favorite thing to do. His habit.
I placed both of my hands in front of his face and asked him to give me the thing he brought. He placed it on top and I can’t help myself to let out a giggle.
‘Gummy bears!’ I shouted at the back of my head.
“Aww babe, thank you for this!” I grabbed the packet of gummy bears, leaned closer to him and gave him a quick kiss. Looking through the clear plastic sachet, my hands automatically did it’s job.
‘Pick only the blue and white ones.’ My brain commanded.
“Where have you been? I’ve missed you already!” I pouted. Shifting my gaze towards him for just a split second and locked my eyes again on the tiny edible creatures. I was busy separating the blue and white gummy bears from their family.
It sounds sad but who cares now? I’m still gonna devour them any moment by now, giving them no mercy at all.
A chuckle escape from my mouth with the thoughts hovering above my head.
My head slowly turned to Tristan, my boyfriend and he was looking at me amusingly.
“What?” I asked with my left eyebrow lifting.
From the arching brows, it slowly calmed down and I just couldn’t stop myself from staring at him.
This feels like forever.
He was so perfect. A goddamn Adonis. Sweet as sugar, caring as hell. I could not wish anything for more.
I didn’t know that I was smiling at him when he replied to me.
“Nothing. You’ve got the prettiest smile Knika. And its just...” I looked at him questionably and waited for his words to spill out.
“It’s just I love you.”
‘It’s just I love you’
‘It’s just I love you’
‘It’s just I love you’
Those sweetest words echoed in my head and it sent millions of butterflies in my stomach. I smiled... bitterly as tears started streaming in my face.
The gleeful momentary slowly fades until it was gone. I noticed that I was holding a...
Shot glass?
It’s really true that liquor could make you forget a little bit.
‘But why did I remember that heart throbbing memory?’
It happened two years ago... When we were still together.
I was inside a bar. The whole dance floor was gleamed with sharp red and green laser beams shooting out from the rotating lights in the ceiling. It was packed with sweaty and noisy people jumping and dancing in the DJ’s raucous music.
Everyone is enjoying their night. Who says I’m going to ruin mine?
Feeling dizzy because of the alcohol, I brushed through my brunette hair and gave a playful smile as I take another shot of tequila... and another shot... and another shot.
I waved myself through the dance floor and started to move my body slowly, alluringly and seductively.
Temptress.
The crowd paved its way and I was in the middle dancing sensually. They made a woah sound when I dramatically swayed my body as if I was gyrating catching the interest of people—mostly of men— shifted to me.
All eyes were locked on me. I was in the spotlight. The center of attraction. The focal point.
Things that I never wanted and hated the most.
I was never like this. I hate being the main attraction or the centerpiece of everyone. I just like staying low-key and away from socializing. Yet, tonight was an exemption.
The DJ’s music abruptly changed into a throbbing one. A cunning smile appeared on my face as the people inside the bar cheered for me and goes prodigiously wild.
I danced again, this time with languid movements. I swayed my hips from left to right feeling the rhythm of the music. The beat of the music was pop but the lyrics of the song makes me feel of a sinful come-to-bed type.
A sly smile appeared on my face when I felt that someone is dancing behind me. He’s one hand is holding a glass of beer and the other one was on my waist. He pushes himself to me and I leaned closer to him giving him the thing he wants.
We both dance sensually in unison and I can feel the heat in my body slowly rising bit by bit. I threw my one hand up and cling it on his neck. I then started caressing my body
passionately, starting from my neck, down to my waist and up again.
I was never attracted sexually to other guys. I bet it was alcohol why I’m feeling this right now. I can’t control my self. Damn this alcohol!
The music makes me turn on and I can feel the fire burning between us growing and growing. He was rubbing his body next to mine and I felt that something was already long and hard behind me.
I bit my lips while naughtily smiling, and looked him from behind with a drowsy eyes. My eyes feels heavy and my vision was a bit hazy but I can still see how much of a Greek Goddess was the man dancing with me.
He was looking intensely on me and his smiles are so mischievous. I studied his face and there’s something... a thick something that surrounds him that I could almost feel.
Lust.
The way he looks at my lips didn’t escaped from me. His eyes were piercing as if he was already undressing me. He whispered something to me that made me tickle but the music and the people inside was too loud that I didn’t catch any of his words.
I didn’t need to hear what he was trying to say cause from the way he looks, it’s obvious that the plan lurking from his mind was to have fun with me tonight.
I was hesitant. Is it time to give my—.
I couldn’t continue what I’m thinking when the anonymous person was about to give me a kiss but someone grabbed my arms aggressively.
“What the hell?!” I shouted and angrily looked who it was.
“T-Tristan?”
