"How about your boyfriend? Is he coming? But wait, did he know?"
I stopped what I'm doing. I don't know if he knows what special on this day. I didn't even want to tell him because I want him to know by himself. Today is my birthday and we haven't meet each other since in the morning.
We celebrated my birthday earlier at home with my family and tonight, I will celebrate my birthday at SBC with my friends and my other blockmates.
I took a deep breath. "I don't know." I hope he knows because I told him before when my birthday is. I guess when we were still a kid.
"What? You didn't know?" Anne rolled her eyes at me.
"Besides, I told him when my birthday is when we were young. It's up to him if he remembers." I continued my hairdressing.
After a minute, we were already done fixing ourselves. We were ready to leave. "Let's go!"
While I was in the car I took my phone out from my Gucci white shoulder bag. I don't know if I should call Luke or not. Honestly, I called him earlier but he didn't answer all of my calls. So, I decided to call his sister, Alizah.
["Hey, sis! What's up?"] She answered.
I chuckled because of her 'sis' word. "I called you because I wanted to ask if you know where Luke is. Do you know where he is?"
["Oh! That asshole,"] She murmured. ["Sorry. But I don't know where he is. Is there something wrong between you two?"]
I shook my head. "No! Is not that! We're fine! He just... didn't answer my calls."
I heard her took a deep breath. ["Don't worry! I'll try to call and find him."]
"Thanks." I ended the call and looked at Anne who was driving.
"Can you drive faster?"
"Yes ma'am. I will." I heard my others friends laughed. I just rolled my eyes at them.
When we got to SBC, Claire, Lev, Treize, and my other blockmates were already there. They greeted me so I smiled as I entered the VVIP. They brought the drinks so we could start na. For sure, we are all wasted later.
While we were drinking hard drinks like vodka, tequila, and whiskey, I tried to call Luke every time, I really tried but like before, he still did not answer even though his phone was ringing. I'm worried now!
"Really? What's wrong with you? You're such an asshole!" I said because of what he told us.
"Yeah! I know, I was wrong! But she is so stubborn as fuck," Treize said.
"But you don't have to do that to her! Oh my god, Treize. What are you thinking?" I shook my head.
"Yeah! She's right! What if... she file a case? Huh?" Alice asked him. Treize is really a jerk. He's not thinking aout the consequences.
"I will not let that happen! I will make sure that she fall in love with me before the end of a month," He said confidently.
"Don't be so confident, Treize. You even don't know her well." I laughed before sipped on my whiskey.
"I wilk make it happen, you see."
"If she still didn't fall in love with you after a month. Impregnate her." We slowly looked at roxie because of she said, she's laughing right now.
"Seriously?!"
"Can you shut up?"
"You're words are all nonsense!"
"If you get pregnant by someone you didn't even know, you will regret what you are saying right now!"
"Nah! How will that happen? I don't even want to get married!" She answered back.
"It's because there's someone who is getting ready to make you feel down! Just wait and see!" I rolled my eyes at her.
"Yuck!"
"Yah! My mom said before that she doesn't want to get married or be with someone but look, I was here!" Anne said so we laughed.
"That's your mom, I'm different with her!"
"Whatever! I'm just saying what I know!"
"Enough of this!" I chuckled. "Can we just drink a lot to get wasted?"
"Sure!" They said at the same time.
"Bottoms up!" I said and then cheers out glass with each other. We stood up and dance like crazy.
After that, I decided to went out from the VVIP then went to the dance floor and dance nonstop. I feel that I'm already drunk. I suddenly feel dizzy and my eyes were getting blur so I went to the counter, sat and bend down on it.
"Hi!" A man I did not know approached me, he smiled at me.
I smiled. "Hello!" I drank my tequila straight and order one more and more again.
"I couldn’t help but notice how pretty you are. Are you even wearing makeup?" The man asked.
"No! I don't put makeup on my face!" I simply said then drink my alcohol and order again. I don't know if I can walk later.
"I like how your hair looks so natural. It really highlights your pretty face. So beautiful!"
I chuckled. "Thanks!" I looked at him. "I don't think I should talk to strangers like you, even though that you're a bit familiar!"
I don't even know him but he's familiar to me. Should I talk to him properly? Or should I push him away? Or... Should I flirt with him? No! I have a boyfriend! No! No! That's bad! Don't do it! I love my boyfriend but where he is? He's not here!
"Do you have a boyfriend, Blaire? If none, come with me upstairs, I'll make you sobber up." He touched my elbow. "It's up to you if you come with me." He smiled at me.
"How did you know my name? Huh?" I asked as my brows furrowed.
He winked at me. "Secret!"
I laughed a little. I stood up and walked slowly because I felt my head is turning around, like I want to vomit. No! After a second, I fell down but before my body hit the floor, I felt the arms catch me, I clung to his neck and looked at him. He is the man I talked to a while ago. The side of my lips rose up and then I just felt that he carried me bride style.
"You should be careful all the time," He said, scolding me. I pouted.
Who is this man? Where's my boyfriend?
"Where are we going?" I said slowly and weakly. My eyes are still closed. I'm wasted!
He put me down on the soft... what is this thing? Oh! The sofa! Opps, we were in the second floor, I didn't notice it!
"Where's my boyfriend? Why he is not here? I want him! I want him!" My tears slowly dripping down while I said those words.
"It's okay! I can be your friend and, also, a boyfriend." I glared at him. "Just kidding."
"You're not funny!"
"Here! Drink this. You need to sober up." He handed me a glass of... What's that? My eyes are blurry so I couldn't see properly.
"No! I don't want to. Maybe you put poison in it or sleeping pills," I slowly said.
I heard him laughed. "Why would I poisoning you? Just drink this!"
"You put something in it?" He shook his head. "What is this?" I sniffed it to find out what it really was but I just didn't really know.
He laughed again so I looked at him while my brows furrowed. "What are you laughing?"
He looked at me. "You didn't know this? What a wasted girl! Okay!" He stopped laughing "This is WATER! W. A. T. E. R.! Water!"
"Oh, I see. I didn't know that this is a fucking water!" I laughed a little. I also drank the water as he said.
"Did you see Luke?" I asked without thinking. All I want is Luke but he is not here.
"That fvcking guy? No." He asked as well.
"Don't call him 'fvcking guy'! He's my boyfriend!"
"But where he is? He is not here right now. He is not here to take good care of you! He should know his responsibilities as your boyfriend! But where he is?"
I can't answer because it's true. It's my birthday today, he should be here next to me and celebrating with me. I looked down as my tears dripping down to my cheeks.
The man sat beside me and cupped my chin, I was surprised when he wiped my tears and hugged me, but he let go immediately when he realized what he did. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I swallowed. "You know, today is my birthday. I just only want to be with him, I just only want to celebrate my birthday with him but he's not here. Though, I don't know if he knows that today is my birthday." I laughed bitterly. "Well, that's not a big deal, maybe, he just busy with his school works, right?"
"I don't think so."
I just ignored what he said. "I called him so many times since the sunrise, but I got disappointed at him, he didn't answer any of my calls. I also called his sister and his friends and asked if they know where luke is, but they also didn't know."
"So everyone didn't know where he is?" He asked.
I slowly nodded while pouting. "Yes, I'm getting worried now."
"Have you ever been to him where he lives?" The man asked me while he was fixing my messy hair.
"His cousin is staying there, and luke is not there since last night. What do you think should I do?"
He put his point finger under his chin like he was thinking brilliant idea. I'm a bit sober up now, so I could see his face properly. He's handsome, with a pointed nose, deep black eyes, and rosy lips.
"Well, you should find him by your own, go to his house, or go to his favorite place, or ask his parents."
"Should I?"
He nodded and smiled. "Yeah! There's nothing wrong with that! And don't worry, I'll accompany you."
"Really?"
"Yeah!" He winked at me before he stood up and handed his hand to help me stand up. I smiled and accept it!
"I will say goodbye to my friends first." I looked at my wrist watch and make my eyes wide open. "Besides, It's already 2:30 am. I'll tell them to go home."
He smiled. "Yeah! Sure! I won't be surprised if they are wasted too." He chuckled before went out the SBC.
I went to my friends and he didn't make a mistake, they were also defeated, very sleepy and never woke up. I just ordered them to a bartender to just let them be there until the next day. The bartender knew me as a girlfriend of the owner of this SBC, So I trust them all.
"They're wasted!" I said when I entered his car. "Can I ask you something?" He nodded.
"Who are you? How did you know my name? Why did you help me earlier when I was drunk?" I stared at his face intently. "Oh my god! It's you! You fvcking moron, Blue."
"Yes. It's me. I just got a new haircut, you see." I look at his hair and that's right, I didn't recognized him just because of that.
"Oh, that's right. I thought you are stranger who wants to flirt with me." I laughed and covered my face.
He chuckled. "No thanks! If it is you, I might ran away faster like I'm seeing a ghost. Anyway, it was fine, I don't mind."
"You freaking assholes!" He laughed obviously teasing me before walk away. I didn't answer back, I just quiet all the time until we finally reached the condo of my boyfriend.
I stopped walking when I'm in front of the elevator. Why am I suddenly nervous? My head hurt a bit as well as I felt, like I just wanted to go home first.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked me. I laughed when I realized that until now, I'm a bit drunk. My head is aching.
I faced him. "Nothing! I think I'm still drunk, a little. And I don't know why I feel nervous."
"Don't be. Chin up, Blaire." I smiled at him and put my arm on his.
After a minute, we have reached the floor where luke's condo is. Blue is just following me and he wouldn't take off his eyes on me. I ignored it, even though that he's acting weird, just my opinion.
When I was in front of the door of luke's unit, I took out my key from the shoulder bag and slowly opened the door. As far as I know, there's no one here because blue is with me. I wonder if luke is already here.
"Stay here. Okay?" He nodded. I went in and check the living room, the kitchen, the dining area, the bathroom but there's no Luke.
There's only one I haven't checked yet. The room. I slowly approached the room and held the doorknob before slowly opened it.
When I finally opened it, first I saw were the clothes scattered on the floor near the door but something caught my attention. Some of them are a woman's clothes like a bra and panties. Whose is this?
I slowly looked at the bed and slowly approached as my tears are already dripping down to my cheeks. I'm just wrong. H-he can’t do the thing I was thinking. I swear. But as I got closer, my all tears fell on my cheeks. My heart is aching like hell.
I covered my mouth so I couldn't speak first. I don’t want them to wake up to the noise I can make.
"No, this is just a nightmare. No." I murmured. I accidentally dropped my key which caused them to wake up because of the noise I made through the key.
