“Are you okay? What happened to your shirt? ” Sheena consent asked, and handed me her handkerchief. I stood up and said I was going to the comfort room. My chest throbs with excitement. I don't know why but I feel like he's just there. My mind was forced to look for Xyler inside this bar. I lost the mood to have fun. I’ve been thinking too much and I can almost see his face on other people. I laughed bitterly to myself while looking in the mirror. I'm not waiting for anything but why do I feel like something else is coming. I took a deep breath and adjusted myself. I need to enjoy tonight. I don't want to go home just sitting on the couch all night.
“Hey! Hey! Wooooah! ” I screamed as I accompanied the noise of the whole room and the confusing light swirling around. I’m so wasted. My body just kept grinding to the music. A man approached me to dance for me. I just accompanied him and he seemed to enjoy dancing. I pushed him as he held me by the waist. I go back to my senses immediately because of what the man did and so I exited myself and just sat quietly on the couch and drank alcohol alone while my companions were in the middle and dancing. I was just stunned by the absence and any time I felt like I could fall asleep.
"Good Morning, Lady." My eyes widened as I rolled my eyes at a room where Adrian and I were the only ones. He was standing in front of me and wearing business attire. How come I came here like I was at the bar a while ago, wait ... Didn't I come home last night? What happened to me? I couldn’t help myself anymore so I asked Adrian.
“Did we— Did we have sex?” I asked out of nowhere. I know what I asked was wrong, especially at this time I'm not in the place but I want him to be corrected because that's how men are. They take advantage of someone when they know they have a chance. I don’t know what’s going on here but I’m sure I did something wrong. Maybe I just don't really remember because of drunkenness.
He choked and burst out laughing. “I like your guts. Why are you asking? ”
“Just answer me. I’m serious. Why I am here, I can't be here because you're just on a trip, ”I checked my clothes to see if they were wrinkled or wet. But it doesn't work well. All buttons are closed.
"Nothing happened besides You're not my type." He then Laughed once more. "You passed out last night and it seems your friends left you so I brought you here instead someone will bring you."
“Seriously? They did that? "I frowned out of disbelief. I got up from the bed to get stuck as well. I still have a job now and I need to get home to the apartment in case Cephie is waiting there.
"Thanks, by the way."
“Hang up, I’ll drive you back home.” He offered and so I didn’t complain. I was quiet while I was in the car, Adrian was talking to someone on the phone while he was driving. He turned to me for a moment and nodded in response to what he was talking about on the phone.
"Stop there," I pointed out the apartment where I live. He stopped the car and then I got out and handed him a tip but refused to take it.
Opening the door went upstairs to check on Cephie. It's the weekend and he still seems to be asleep without work. I knocked on the door and seems no one was inside so I opened it voluntarily. There, I saw Cephie holding the phone and she seemed to be talking to someone important so she was very shocked when I opened the door. I also noticed that he was wearing clothes as if he was going somewhere.
"She's here, Hang up the—, Oh, hi? Lou, You didn't go home last night, how was the party?" She seemed so shocked.
"And how would you know?"
"Grace told me.Uh, Anyway, I want to ask permission, it's an urgent matter so please say yes," she made a fake smile.
"Is there anything I can do? Please be back before the sunset. Okay?" She giggled and went downstairs.
"Okay good, see yah" she shouted. I shook my head because she was getting weird.
It was 10 am in the morning as I decided not to work at the coffee shop. I cleaned the apartment instead and did the groceries so that when Cephie got home she would have her snack with me. I spend my time alone, playing music. I smiled again as I remembered this was Xyler's favorite song. He even sang it over and over again. He was really passionate about music. singing is more suitable for him. I only remember when he said that I was the first person to witness his success once he had his own band. Xyler really doesn’t want to be in the business. For him, they are already rich. It was his time to choose what made him happy. I walk around in my seat, imagining that he is the one singing the music I am playing. I wonder where is he, did I really seen him on the bar it;s just an illusion. After a while, I'm sure he won't show up to me again. But I was still there to the point I was hoping, Destiny, will make us together.
“Ugh! I’m so tired… ”Cephie suddenly appeared behind me, I almost jumped with excitement.
“Oh, Shoot! You surprised me. ”
“Why? Because you’re smiling alone? Weird, huh. ”
"Shut up."
When Cephie climbed up I let out the breath I held when she arrived. I feel my cheeks blush with shame. My nervousness increased when my phone suddenly rang. Only an unknown number was posted, I answered the call and when I put it to my ear I only heard a faint cough for a few seconds, and then it ended the call.
