Chapter 50: Chapter 50

“Then it’s your problem,” I said, walking out now and leaving him there.

But that’s what I thought. He was following me behind as he talked.

“I thought you were throwing yourself at me.” The man had the urge to say to me. His confident tone baffled me.

I gagged at his words, I would never do that just to capture a man’s attention.

“Psh, you might be that attractive but I’m not that desperate.”

He sighed, then loudly told me from behind, “Ah, you gave me a boner and even left me behind, you amaze me, little fox.”

My eyes grew wide as some who heard him stopped to look at us.

I gave him a look, “What are you doing?” I whispered. He’s purposely letting the other people in this bar know!

“Grabbing your attention? I see that’s effective.”

I couldn't miss out on the silly little grin on his lips as he told me that. I snorted, damn. Looks like I made a mistake dealing with this man.

“I’ll buy you a drink.”

“I don’t have time, I have to be home.” Lying was not a good option but what choice do I have? I am not going to go home tonight, I’ll sleep again at Tori's…speaking of that girl, I couldn’t see her anywhere.

I quickly glanced around for any sign of Tori who was responsible for this. Where is that damn girl? I unconsciously tapped my foot on the ground, growing impatient.

“What? It’s still early, it’s not like you're a teen with a curfew.”

I rolled my eyes, this man is getting too irritating now. “You just saved me from a pervert earlier, and now you're doing exactly as he did. What a hypocrite.”

“Good news my love, I never told you I was not a pervert either.”

I felt like I had expressed more reactions than words tonight. What are the odds of meeting insane men like him?

I just ignored him and kept on walking.

“Where are you going?” He kept on asking.

“To find my best friend.”

“Oh, you mean the woman who was with you earlier? I think I saw her leaving the place with my friend.”

I didn’t hide the gasp escaping from my mouth. “Oh, you must be kidding me. Pranking me….I know her, she wouldn’t..”

But then I couldn’t finish my words as my phone dinged, signaling that I have received a message.

“Hello, boo. I found a hot guy and he’s taking me home. Enjoy yourself there.

Xoxo.

Love,

Tori’’

I bit my lip, fighting the urge to curse out loud and hide the disappointment on my face as the man in front of me was smiling, offering a drink to me, “So? Drinks.”

Damn, now that Tori has left me here, how could I manage to go home?

I could grab a taxi...

But I don’t have anywhere else to go home.

And suddenly, the offer of this strange handsome man is getting more tempting by the minute.

“Ohh fuck this.” I cursed, grabbing his offer as I could see the giant smirk on his face, happy to make me give in.

He then leaned in, “See? I knew you would give in.” He mumbled, “Want to continue this to another place?”

Another place? His requests keep on getting more forward. I slapped his face away, “Oh, what place you pervert?”

He was taken aback, not expecting me to slap him, “Of course to the VIP section, sweetheart. Where else do you want me to take you?” He then wiggled his eyebrows when he realized it.

“Oh, are you thinking of somewhere else?” He added a chuckle, teasing me completely, “You could have said so, princess.”

I just rolled my eyes at his remarks as we went upstairs to a booth. I have to say that this is much more peaceful and calmer here compared to the wild sticky and super noisy below.

The man twirled his glasses of drink as he quietly gazed at me. He seemed to be observing me, his eyes eyeing me like a hawk as he said no words.

“What?” I asked, drinking my wine as I felt a bit self-conscious.

“I’m appreciating your beauty. It was dark below so I couldn’t see how exactly you look earlier.” He honestly said.

I leaned in, eyes narrowing at him. I was wearing a low v-cut dress so I am perfectly aware that my cleavage is poking out his eyes trailed down as licked his lips. He gulped, and I smirked, “Eyes up here.”

He then forced his eyes to look at mine.

“Tell me, boy. You’re here to hook up with another woman right? But you're here with me…..completely uninterested in you…does that bother you?”

Judging from his shocked reaction when I slapped him earlier, I knew that this man had never tasted the magic words of no ever in his life.

Why does it suddenly look so fun to refuse him now?

I cleared my throat, “Is saving me tonight from a perverted part of your plan?”

He shrugged, “Who knows? I’m only here to have fun.”

A playboy. Confirmed. A few women who had been eyeing him since earlier came to greet him. He greeted them back, and they tried to invite themselves into our booth when he stopped them.

“Excuse me, ladies, you’re all beautiful. and deserves some attention but I am currently preoccupied for the moment.”

They didn’t hide the disdain on their faces as they glared at me and walked away, mumbling, “How did she even manage to pull him with that look?”

“Maybe his taste in women changed, he’s trying something new.” They giggled, side-eyeing me and stealing glances before leaving. I am sure they purposely said it loud just so I could hear it but not that I mind it anyways.

Girls like them love to bully others as they are projecting their insecurities. They are just jealous.

“You know them?”

He shook his head, “I can’t remember their names exactly, but they seemed to be my loyal regulars here. Please don’t mind what they said, they are just jealous of you right now. Lots of women here would kill just to be talking with me…you know? So don’t reject my offers now.”

I knew he was trying to make the mood lighter but my mind was too preoccupied. I had never let any comments get to me, but right now, I suddenly want to analyze my appearance.. is that why Harry cheated on me? Because i am not enough?

Because I don't look that good? Not like my beautiful sister?

“What are you thinking?”

“Nothing.”

“As I could see from here, you look sad when you are quiet like that…is something bothering you? Or do you have problems you want to share? I promise I’ll listen.”

I blinked, am I too easy to read? I tried to mask my expression and shrugged it off, “Is that the reason why you are eyeing me since earlier?”

“I’m not sure….I just find you innerspring..”

“You must be a magnet for disaster..” He completed it and realized he worded it wrong,

“No, I meant not ina. The bad way.”

“Yes.”

“You don’t look like you enjoy bars and nightclubs. So tell me, what’s the real reason why you're here?”

“Is this some kind of interview?” I joked.

“I am just curious.”

“Hmm…well, long story exactly. I was just happily shopping for myself when I found out from the news that my long-time boyfriend has been cheating on me with my already engaged sister, and worse, he made her pregnant. So now, she has to marry my boyfriend, while my father forces me to marry my sister;’’s fiance. How amazing right? So now my best friend is comforting me by wanting me to enjoy this night and find guys..” I rambled on and on, half spilling the truth and he was just quietly listening, shocked.

He looked seriously worried to me that I suddenly burst into fits of laughter.

“Well, that’s what I would lie to say at least. But that’s just a lie.”

He nodded, somehow convinced as he diverted the topic. He talked about bars and his adventures outside the country. And I didn’t know how many drinks I had I couldn't exactly tell where exactly I am.

Suddenly, my lips were o his as his hands roam around me. I was not at the bar now.

We somehow got in a room…an empty room and I do not know how exactly.

“Is your name really Jane? You don’t look like it.”

I just nodded as he randomly asked.

“Well, I am not sure why you are lying to me but I know it must be that you don’t want to reveal any more of yourself, but no worries, I will be revealing another matter tonight.”

He said, his teeth biting my neck as his hands removed my underwear. “And I'll make sure I’ll manage to unveil that real name of yours.”
