Chapter 3

"Yes. I'm making sure you win this bet.

And I'm going to ask for a reward and I want a date."

His smile never wore off. He was so stunning

and it makes me immovable. ****, am I crushing on him? I really can’t stop

admiring him like some star struck fool.

I smiled as I felt excitement and giddy.

"Okay." I looked down shyly.

He took my hand and dragged me towards the makeshift

dance floor. The gesture took me by surprise but I reveled at the warmth his callous

hand was giving me.

"Where's your friend?"

I froze as I almost forgot about my

mischievous best friend.

I started to search for her. She was no longer

standing at the bar or anywhere from my sight. Ugh. She obviously ditched me.

How could I prove to her that I'm winning this when she's not even looking?

"She ditched me." I grumbled.

We stopped walking. He looked at me with

amusement. I know what he was thinking. I was now feeling uncomfortable now

that Mila was out of my sight. I think her head will be on my platter at

tomorrow’s breakfast.

"I'm not lying. I swear. I'm going to

kill that girl." I said exasperated, muttering the last part lowly so he

wouldn't hear.

"Okay." He smiled with

understanding. "Do you still wanna dance?" I eyed him almost in

disbelief. I thought he was going to back out and leave me but he didn’t. I

guess there was no surprise there considering he was actually a nice guy.

I looked at the crowd wearily. People dancing

like they're going to have intercourse in the middle of the dance floor. There

was sweat and booze all mixed together. I definitely don't wanna go there.

"Can we go outside instead?" He

nodded without question.

"I wasn't lying, you know. I didn't come

to you so I could have you all to myself." I said as we reached outside.

I'm suddenly feeling embarrassed of the situation. Mila probably didn't expect

that I would tell him the truth but I'm still going to kill her.

He chuckled. "It's fine." His head

turned up, looking at the moon shining so brightly. I followed his action,

admiring the view. The night was not as cold as I thought it would be. The

night breeze made my skirt and hair wave slightly.

"A lot of girls are probably throwing

themselves at you. Like the one who just walked away. I feel sorry for her but

I can't lose my money. And not when I can have twice the amount." I

rambled on.

He burst out laughing. His attention then shifted

to me. His laugh made him show his perfect white teeth. Is that a dimple? Damn.

"Really now?"

I tilted my head to the side studying him with

his handsome laugh and of course his Adonis face- although he was more in the

boyish side. Not to mention the Greek bod his hiding underneath that outfit. He

really was so attractive. I can't seem to stop staring and admiring him. If my

life wasn't so complicated, I would have easily fallen for him. Deep inside,

I’m still that typical girl. I just don’t have time to entertain this feelings.

"Do you still wanna dance?" I asked

after pondering. His laugh toned down now and he looked at me with his emerald

green eyes. It sparkled with amusement and my reflection.

"I thought you don't like to join the

crowd or did I assume wrong?" His head tilted to the side as he asked. A small

smile adorned his face. Cute.

I smiled. "No, you're right. I don't

think I can stomach the thought of spending more time there." Honestly,

years of singing in front of a crowd like that would seem that I'm used to it

by now but I'm not. I could never get used to it. But parties and concerts are

different. I love the fact that in concerts, the crowd gather around to really

enjoy music.

"Let's dance here." I suggested. We

were just meters away from the frat house- well, mansion as Remi likes to put

it, but there weren't many people here in their little garden. Everyone was

inside getting wasted and probably high and satiated.

He raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "I

don’t think the music will reach here. It’s pretty much muffled." He said

with a shrug.

I grinned at him. A plan formed in my head.

The music inside was slow. It was R&B. I opted for something different,

something slow. Something not sexual. A certain song crossed my mind and it

felt like it suited the night.

I reached for his hand and he took it with

confusion and fascination. I put his hands on my waist and mine on his

shoulder. His eyes continued to have sparks of amusement as he carries along

with me.

I started to sway. He followed.

I imagined the beat, the rhythm of the music

humming inside my head. I closed my eyes as I feel the breeze, the moon

blessing us with her light, the warmth he’s giving me, my cold hands brushing

against his neck.

I then started to sing.

It's late in the evening

She's wondering what clothes to wear~

His hands tightened around my waist as he

heard my voice. He pulled me closer to him than ever before. I almost smile at

his action.

She puts on her make-up and brushes her long

blonde hair

And then she asks me, do I look all right?

And I say, yes, you look wonderful tonight~

I opened my eyes only to see his eyes swirling

with emotions. His face was now serious. It was like he was studying me for

something. The smile, the amusement, it was all gone as he stared at me like he

was sucked by my soul. And he knew it and he wanted to be pulled in the vortex

of my soul.

We go to a party and everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady that's walking around with

me

And then she asks me, do you feel all right?

And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful

tonight"~

And then he kissed me.
