Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Vanilla wasn't in her own consciousness when she drove a rented car. Her attention was focused on the handsome young man she was with in the jeep last night. Even in the office, Vanilla didn't forget to think of his muscular body and perfect face. This is the first time she has been obsessed with a man. She is known to be a family-oriented woman, and it isn't on her list to find a man who will complete her. So she was just surprised by her reaction when she saw the young man's face. She felt like she wanted to be presented at the altar with that man and of course with a kiss from his passionate lips. Vanilla cooled herself before her mind could finally travel to glory. She even shook her head and focused on driving. As much as possible, she wants to think first about the Business Convention that she will attend.

When she reached the tall building mentioned in the invitation, she immediately parked the rented car from her friend Peppermint. She carefully descended as she rubbed part of the dress she was wearing to avoid it from falling through the ground. She walked straight into the entrance hall carrying her red purse. She showed the receptionist the invitation card she was holding and pointed it to the elevator to the 4th floor where the party would be held.

Vanilla adjusted her red dress before finally entering the elevator. She immediately saw the hall where many guests also came. Vanilla let out a dry sigh before starting to go inside. She felt as if everyone was looking at her, as if their stares were covering her from head to toe. Vanilla continued to carefully walk in as her mischievous eyes traveled across the area. This isn't the first time she has attended business conventions, but this is the first time she has been amazed at the grand preparation of the said party. Clear surroundings, expensive hotels and appetizing menus surround them. She took a cup of wine from the waiter and entertained himself with the watch. Some of them are already known by Vanilla because she once became a business partner, and others became suppliers of her company.

Vanilla was distracted when a sophisticated woman touched her. She turned to her when she saw Mrs. Arevalo, one of her Investors. The lady is old but her beauty can still be seen in her youth. Her body is also perfectly shaped in a Cinderella Cut dress and her black hair is curled.

"Oh, Mrs. Arevalo." She immediately greeted her.

"Enjoying the night by yourself?" Vanilla smiled sparingly as she raised the glass slightly. "Business is going well, Ms. Galvez?"

"Yes, we'll release new books again next week."

"That's good to hear, then. I hope readers enjoy that again." The lady's enthusiastic response.

"Thank you, Ms. Arevalo."

"Don't mention it. Anyway, I'm going to leave you here first, enjoy the party." The lady tapped her on the shoulder before she passed and entered the crowd.

Vanilla was left to drink alone. She just enjoys watching the surroundings, the guests, the grand design of the whole place and even the fancy clothes that surround her. But suddenly the man she tried to forget flashed through her mind; his angelic figure came back to her own mind. She dropped the goblet on the small table next to her and hurriedly walked over to the restroom. But before she could get away, she hit the man with her back to him.

Vanilla closed her eyes, waiting for her to fall on the hard floor, but that didn't happen because she felt the soft hand grip her waist tightly. She slowly opened her two eyes and the first thing that appeared in front of her was the man who wouldn't disappear from her crazy brain. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was just dreaming, but the young man was still in front of her and his hands were still wrapped around her waist. This is impossible, too impossible. The man she dreamed of seeing again is right in front of her. It was as if she was madly staring at the man, it was sucking her whole body and it was as if she was electrified in its warm arms.

She converted herself and quickly stood up; she adjusted her clothes before facing the young man. It planted a gentle smile that pleased Vanilla's whole muscle. Her hard heart that had not even been able to throb before became a soft flower.

"Are you okay?" There was concern in the man's voice.

"Y-Yeah."

Vanilla sounded so unsure, her whole body was really okay. What is not okay is that her heart is constantly pounding every time their eyes meet.

"Thank you." Vanilla calmly thanked her in the middle of the box she was feeling. "I have to go."

She quickly passed the man, because otherwise she might have done something wrong in front of her.

As soon as she entered the restroom, she fixed her hair, which wasn't messy but she wanted to be beautiful in the young man's eyes. She frowned at her attitude, as if something is strange about her, as if she wanted to give him attention and it's not like her being a family-oriented girl. It is rare for her to literally go crazy with a man in an instant. Is it love? It suddenly crossed her mind.

Edward was still amazed. He isn't the type of man who believes in destiny, but right now it just happens. The woman he just wanted to see was touched by him and even talked to. His heart seemed to jump, which he also tried to hold back. He can't be obsessed with a woman who isn't on his radar, women who have no love for him. But when he saw the woman earlier, she lost her thick mirror and transformed it into a very beautiful goddess in his sight.

He has been restless all night; he wants to see the mysterious woman again. He didn't even ask what its name was. Earlier he couldn't talk face to face, as if his tongue had been choked.

Edward's vision explored the entire hall space. He still couldn't find the girl in the row of people. Edward regrets especially that the night is no longer enduring; somehow he wants to make the most of the opportunity and have a little information about the woman.

The rest of the night seemed boring, so Edward decided to go out of the hall and ventilate, he even though the woman had left earlier so he didn't see her, but he was surprised to find her on the balcony of the hotel, its wavy hair flying as the cold air continued to touch its ace.

Edward mustered up the courage and slowly walked beside her. She didn't immediately notice his presence, because her two eyes were closed and her ears were on the headset again. The young man sneezed so that the girl could feel him who was successful because she turned her attention to him. She took the headset from her ear and faced him.

"Yes?"

"I saw you; you seem to enjoy yourself all alone than having a company."

"I prefer to be alone and listen to music." She conducted with a cozy smile.

"It seems obvious." Edward gave her a smile.

"Do you need anything else?" The woman asked him directly. The woman seems to be a straight-forward person and in the tone of her speech, she seems to be highly educated.

"Can I join you?" Edward asked. She stared at him before she spoke again.

"Sure."

They were both looking at the vast space of the city. The lights coming from the house are like twinkling lights at night. The night seemed to be seductive for Edward even though the cold breeze was warming his whole body. Their fingers stuck together causing the two of them to turn away from each other. The woman threw a sticky look at him. She couldn't really stop feeling as if she wanted to hug and kiss his soft lips.

He tried to kill the strange sensation that crawled on his body. He was the first to regain his sight and return it to the hollow in the city. The two of them remained silent until he decided to speak to break the resounding silence.

"So you know how to dance?" He asked her.

"Quite." sparing its answer.

"Care to dance?" He held out his left hand to the woman. She even looked at his palm and was reluctant to accept. "Come on." Edward himself took the girl's hand and carried it to the middle of the hallway.

He took the cellphone out of his pocket and started playing. He gently touched her waist as he guided the girl's hand around his neck. They started dancing as their eyes met. This was the happiest day for Edward, as he saw and even danced with the woman who repeatedly entered his brain. Like the women he slept with, this one was strange as if he felt a mystery.  He didn't know if it was just the result of his longing for sex or his heart was touched by the strange charm of the woman. But he no longer cares what he feels more importantly he's in the trap now.

Vanilla's cheek was even redder than the apple when she accepted the stranger's hand so she could dance. His hand was soft but it was the root that she was obsessed with. Moreover its eyes seem to have a hidden message. She couldn't take her eyes off him. How could she get rid of it if his face was only a handful away from her? She could already smell its fragrant breath as if it made his smooth planet tilted. Then their eyes talked of what will happen next.

Without hesitation they grabbed each other's lips as they had a single vow to do. The first encounter was a way for Vanilla to enjoy the initial taste. There was the sweetness of the stranger's kisses on her.  What followed was the outburst of his audacity, he forced her mouth open - and the man succeeded in what he did. It didn't just bless her with a kiss. It gave her a strange taste that if he continued to squeeze into the brain, she would go crazy.

She could almost pull his hair because of what he was doing to her. She clasped her hands tightly around his neck as proof that she didn't want the man to stop what she was doing. She moaned as the young man took over every part of her mouth. Their tastes were different from each other, but the young man's mouth and kiss seemed more criminal to him. It kept raining a kiss on her cheek, lips, down his neck. Vanilla moaned one after another. His kiss seemed to be a dish she could swallow and not get tired of.

Both of them caught the air as each other opened their mouths, but that didn't stop the young man from lifting him up and continuing his passionate kisses. He took her to one of the hotel rooms, closed the door and immediately grabbed her by a trance kiss. The young man's lips guided Vanilla's whole body until they lay down on the bed. He violently removed her clothes and kissed her neck. Vanilla continued to moan, as if her eyes were fixed on it because it was so delicious. She was out of his mind at that time, she just drifted on its sweet lips.

Edward dug two bulges into the woman's chest, and his insides seemed to be grinning at the touch. Its fragrant and smooth body that he continues to tire of feels like it brings him to the pinnacle of happiness. He took off his tuxedo and underwear and continued to travel his tongue all over its body. In a few moments Edward seemed to have forgotten his name, the girl was insane but very delicious. That is what was registered in Edward's brain.

The girl growled which caused the young man's hands to be even more daring. He reached the last meeting, where he entered the depths of the girl, still unable to prevent his aggressive lips from being possessed by the whole body of the woman. A series of grunts disturbed the silence of the surroundings. The burning touch of their bodies and the warm shaking they shared was their refuge on a cold night.

The two of them sighed as their lips parted. They were both tired, gasping for breath and content with what they had done. Edward hugged the girl until she finally fell asleep. He drew a dazzling smile after kissing her head. It was only now that he had experienced so much happiness in his whole life, even with the amount he had married, only now did he feel strange.

After the young man got dressed, he first glared at the woman who was still sounding asleep in bed. Enough happened to them tonight to make him think it was a huge dream. He will just look at it as a big memory that happened in his life.

When Vanilla woke up, the man was no longer by her side. She felt frustrated with herself.

Why did she quickly give up her virginity to someone she didn't even know?

Vanilla felt like she was just dreaming, it all seemed like a big fantasy to her, where she became happy all night. She turned her attention to the outside of the room and saw that the sun was shining brightly; she immediately stood up and put on her clothes. She could no longer fix herself and she went straight out of the room.

She will just think that it was just a very good dream…
