"It's been here for six years and now you're going to lie to me?", he sat in the empty seat next to me and ordered a drink. I smiled a little at him and sipped the wine.
I still can't forget what happened last night. To this day I am still nervous. And I can't forget Vladimir's eyes when I mentioned those words last night. I hurt him and I still feel sorry for him.
"Are you not feeling well my dear?", I nodded to Boss Cassy and she took a deep breath. I didn't perform tonight and I didn't agree to be on the table today.
"Get out early and rest Nyx. Message me when you get home and be careful", I nodded to Boss and thanked him. It was nine o'clock in the evening and he just said goodbye to go to the VIP.
I drank the last shot and stood up, took my leather jacket and walked out of the bar. When I finally got out, I approached my car that was parked with other cars. I was about to enter when a man approached me.
His eyes widened immediately after he got off his beloved car. I don't like his eyes because they are too sticky. I tasted him until he got close.
"Good evening pretty woman"
"Good evening sir", I politely said and I almost fainted.
"Join me and we'll have some fun tonight"
"Sorry but I can't sir. I'm out and I'm not feeling well. Have fun tonight", I was about to go in when he stopped me and he put my arms around me so I leaned against him. Because of the panic, I pushed him and distanced myself from him.
"Playing hard to get? I like it. C'mon let's go"
"I don't want to, sir. Is that hard to understand? You'll just ask for something else"
"You're the one I want. Don't be a baby, come on", he was about to approach me but a cold and baritone voice stopped him.
"Leave her alone as*hole. Are you deaf? She said no", my eyes widened when I saw that it was Vladimir. He is wearing all black! A black long sleeve polo with three buttons open and exposed his broad and muscular chest and his arms folded, a black pants and a black leather shoes. His hair is a bit messy that made him look dangerous.
"Who are you? Why are you interfering!", the man snorted at Vladimir and walked towards him.
"No one stops what I want and even You can't stop me---", my jaw dropped when Vladimir punched the guy so smoothly. I was surprised when it fell to the ground and lost consciousness. I looked at him in disbelief and when our eyes met, you were emotionless and cold. He was about to turn away and I bit my lip when I called him.
"Hey, Vladimir", he stopped midway and turned to me. I bit my lower lip harder then looked at him. He saved me. I might have been in the hands of this man without him.
"Come on 7/11?", he raised his brow and looked at me confused.
"What is 7/11?"
I fell on my forehead.
"After I parked the car, we got off without saying a word. I looked at 7/11 and there were a lot of people there. While on the flight earlier, I could see Vladimir's face on the various billboards hanging around me- where.
Different branches of the mall and company and different brands he endorsed as well. He is famous in the business industry. He leads the way with the most sales, and all the business tycoons want to negotiate with him. So I won't wonder why Agnes is dead to him.
"This is what I'm saying 7/11", he just looked at me and didn't say a word. I bit my lip and I saw him swallow. Eh?
"I just want to thank you for what you did earlier because I thought you weren't there, something bad happened. And I also want to apologize for what I said last night. I'm sorry"
He looked at me intently and I couldn't figure out what emotion could be seen on his face, especially his eyes.
"You look fragile when you are on your soft attitude and you look hot when you are on your feisty attitude", I frowned and was about to speak but he spoke again.
"What are we going to do here?", I laughed a little. What kind of life does he have and he doesn't even know about 7/11?
"You really don't know what it is?", he nodded boredly. I didn't say anything and grabbed his arm then pulled him inside. When we entered, people were looking at him immediately, he seemed familiar. He was about to take a picture when he spoke coldly.
"If I saw my face on the headline tomorrow, make sure you're all good at hiding", I just shook my head because of his threat that seemed effective and people left.
We stopped at the ice cream counter and I got a Cornetto there, cookies and cream flavor and gave him one that made him frown.
"What's this?", my jaw dropped when he asked, seriously?
"Cornetto, read it"
"I know this is Cornetto but what kind of food is this?"
"What are you doing in your youth and you don't even know ice cream?", the confusion on his eyes vanished and changed into a different one that I couldn't figure out what.
"My childhood is a brutal one", I was stunned and shyly looked back. I don't want to ask because the story doesn't look good. I took a deep breath and gave him a small smile then showed him how to open the Cornetto.
He followed and focused on what he was doing. I laughed a little when he looked at me so I bit my lip. He looks adorable.
"Tadaaa! You can eat something", I said and started eating. I raised my eyebrows because he was staring at me, I don't know if it was my face or my lips eating ice cream.
"Delicious promise. So eat it"...
"All 10,758, ma'am", said the cashier, staring at the person next to me. My eyes almost watered at the ridiculous price. Now I regret that I brought him here and fed him ice cream because he used up all the ice cream sold here, goodness!
As far as I know my money is only 7k here. I hadn't even taken out my wallet when he immediately placed a card on the cashier.
"I'll pay", he said seriously and I didn't calm down because I really didn't have enough money. After paying, we went out and I went straight to the car. I went inside and turned it on but when I saw that he didn't follow, I frowned. I opened the passenger seat window and he was looking at me.
"Hop in, I'll take you", without further ado, he was like a child who enthusiastically entered the car and I just shook my head and started the car.
"Sleep here. I have 2 guest rooms. It's late and it's dangerous to drive home", I just smiled at him and turned his head.
"Thank you, but I'll go home", he sighed and didn't seem to want to insist. He opened the door and went out. He waved his hand and before I left, I spoke.
"My name's Nyx Samara Leveure..."
"Look what you did!", Agnes screamed because of anger and frustration. I looked at her blankly and she hissed more.
The coffee he was supposed to throw was on him because I was ahead of him. He was going to surprise me when I entered the dressing room and that was to pour coffee on me, but because I was nervous and just wasting their sloppy plan, I took the lead on what he should do. I finished her stupid plan.
"I see Agnes, is it hot?"
"F*ck you b*tch!"
"I'm not a homosexual to hit you Agnes. And even if I were a homosexual, I wouldn't hit a lotion like you", I said without humor. It's just the two of us here and I want to laugh at his current state.
Her hair and clothes were wet. Her make up is also ruined and the mask is black all over her face. She looks hopeless. What a w*tch.
"You know what, I want to slaughter you, you animal!"
"It's a waste of time Agnes because you can't do that. Why are you so mad at me?"
From the moment I entered this bar, he was mad at me. He was here before me. When I'm at work, there isn't a day that he doesn't annoy me and scold me. I don't know if he has a reason or if he just really doesn't like me.
"I do not like you!"
"Well the feeling is absolutely mutual Agnes"
"You always stole the spotlight. You always the center of attention. When you weren't here, I had everything but when you set foot here, you stole everything from me, thief!", she really looked hopeless. I laughed and she glared at me.
"I didn't steal anything from you Agnes, it's not my fault that you're chasing me and it's not my fault that I'm more beautiful than you. You know what, you're wasting your time on someone who will notice me because in the end you can't do anything, you can't be me lose-lose. Why don't you mind your own business instead, you're pathetic", I coldly said and left her alone. Facing her is such a waste of time.
"This is what you're worried about Nyx"
I didn't answer and just looked at him blankly. I didn't expect to see him here. I want to slap his face and crush his body. It's been 6 years and I can see this mess again now here.
"Your order sir?"
"Sir? Where's the 'babe' Nyx?", he laughed even though nothing was funny. I gather my annoyance and just try to look at him. His female companion had her arms wrapped around his waist and her legs were resting on Calvin's feet while he was kissing her neck.
What a cheap p*rn.
"It's been what, 6 years? I didn't leave you just to be a p*kpok Nyx"
That's it!
"Well, I am very thankful because you left me. And disappointed and disgusted because I punished a useless person like you. It's a good thing I didn't even kiss you because your breath still stinks", I turned to the woman who is now gaping at me. I smirked when I saw the movement of his jaw and his sharp look at me, that's how you get angry Calvin.
"And Miss, did you have s*x here? If yes oh my god yuck! It's not even t*li. If I were you Miss leave it alone, are you touching ten women every minute, that one has HIV miss. Stay away because you might get infected. And Calvin, it's nice to see you again. I guess 1 year and 5 months is not bad to put up with you. And oh, I never loved you. I just used you so that your mother won't fail me in her subject. Bye jerk", I gave him a seductive fly kiss and I even winked at him and when I turned away, the two of them got into trouble.
I smiled and left the place...
I can't stop turning my hand into a fist after leaving the bar. My face is blank and I don't care where I'm going, I just keep walking. I can't stop the furious of my heart. I am in pain.
The things I say to Calvin hurt and I know I'm guilty. But I couldn't control it because when I saw him again, the pain returned. Everything I told him was just a lie. Calvin is beyond perfect. He is actually the son of our English teacher in high school but I never used him, I loved him.
He was a swimming player in our school then. We met because he thought I was going to kill myself when he saw me jump into the pool but the real reason was that my necklace fell so I went down and picked it up.
He was mad when he thought he was wrong, but when he found out the real reason, we both laughed. He is fun to be with. That day I didn't think we would be close to each other. He started tweeting me something. Until he confessed and because I like him too, I answered immediately.
People say we are a perfect couple. Crush of the town, that's what they're popular with me and the hot swimming player, what a perfect combination, that's what everyone says. Then we went for a year and after 5 months he left me without a proper break up. He just messaged "we're over". I can't believe it, I am hopeless and wasted that time. It hurt even more because he disappeared when I needed him the most.
"There she is", I came back to my senses and realized that I was far away and in the middle of the road with only the street lights being illuminated.
When I looked behind me, I saw two men in tuxedos looking at me. I was overcome with nervousness because I was so consumed by yesterday that I didn't notice where I had reached.
"She's the girl I saw that night with Xanthe Vladimir Proage", I shivered suddenly because the night Vladimir and I were shot and I had a strong hunch that she was the man on the motorcycle who escaped.
Without hesitation I quickly ran away from them.
"D*mn! She's escaping!"
"Your screwed woman, let's chase!"
I looked up at the sky because it suddenly thundered and soon the heavy rain poured down. I cursed because the road became more blurred because of the rain. I was wet and just continued running.
"L-lord please help me", I whispered and screamed because of the gunshot. When I turned around, a man was holding a gun and was pointing it at me.
I was thankful because I was able to avoid it. I got more and more nervous but I didn't stop running. He also continued to shoot me and chase me. I gasped as I tripped and saw that my knee was scratched.
"D*mn you!", I heard behind me. I faced my wide eyes and saw that they were both in front of me. The gun was pointed at me, they both grinned but before he could shoot it at me, I was dumbfounded staring at their bodies that had fallen on the road and lifeless as the rain soaked their bodies.
B-blood...
I turned back and saw the man I didn't expect to see. He got out of his car and worriedly ran the distance between the two of us and hugged me without saying a word.
"Vladimir..."
"Hush, I'm here milady".
He saved me again...
