Chapter 2 One night stand

I entered the S1897 pub looking lifeless. The place reeked of alcohol and smoke. Never in my entire life did I think I'll come to a place like this. Mara was beside me. I suggested we come here so I could clear my head. I don't drink alcohol but today is an exception, I'm going to get drunk and forget about my pains and worries. We walked straight to the bar. "Hey miss, what can I get you?" The bartender asked. "Just give me a whiskey or something " I said weakly. "Alright, do you want the whole bottle or I should pour you a glass?" He asked. "Just give me the whole bottle" I replied.

He left and gave back with two Whiskey both. He handed each to us. "Cheer?" I raised my bottle and Mara raised her brows at me. "To a broken heart?" I chuckled. She shook her head and i quickly gulped the drink down my throat. Within an hour, I had three bottle of whiskey. I looked wasted right now. Even Mara was not an exception. "Let's partyyyyyyy!" She shouted and pull me up. I staggered and almost fell but I was able to Maintain my balance. I was feeling uncomfortable with the dress that Mara made me to wear, a very short glitter sequin deep v neck ruched mini dress that glittered gold and silver. It hugged my braless hills so beautifully revealing my clevage, the dress hugged my small but accommodated my wide curves and it complemented my fair skin. Mara wore a similar dress but hers was glittering silver white, backless and had long sleeves. We made our way to the middle of the bar. She wrapped her hands around my neck as we swayed to the beat and laughed. I closed my eyes and just let the music take me away. I head my head as I started feeling dizzy. I stopped dancing when I noticed someone eyes on me. I might be tipsy but I was oblivious of what was happening around me. At another section of the VIP there was a man with a drink in his hand just watching me, my eyes connected with his and I felt a pull in my stomach...my body felt like it was on fire instantly. I quickly looked down and felt my face turn red. The man was gorgeous, his features were dark and even though he was sitting down I could tell he was quite tall. I looked up again and he was still staring at me, his body was well built like an equestrian, his shirt was practically hugging at his strong chest and biceps. His skin looked bronze against his formal black folded sleeve, button down shirt that was tucked into dark formal pants with a slim belt. He sat back on his seat and ran his fingers through his chocolate brown curly hair as he continued to watch. Something in me felt naughty suddenly and I winked at him and began dancing again. I move my peaches in a sultry sensuous way. I bit my lower lip and raised my arms above my head as I snaked my body. On a normal day, I wouldn't do this but tonight, I decided to be all naughty. His expressionless face turned into a attractive mysterious one as he smiled. Mara was still dancing crazily and I'm sure she's wasted already. I watch him get up. I smile naughtily. I watched him walked towards me, not removing his gaze from me. Soon enough, he was beside me. "Lady." His voice was deep and captivating. He looked at me and smiled, it was more of a attractive smirk that left dimples denting both sides of his cheeks, his jawline was chiselled, I suddenly had the urge to cup it with my hands. Up close I could see the colour of his eyes, they were glowing like the colour of amber. I felt like I had just danced in front of a predatory animal and it had come to stalk me and claim it's prize. "I was dying to meet you." He said in an accent I could not recognise as he looked directly at me. His husky voice sounded so suggestive like it wanted to teach me some attractive unruly things. I smiled at him and extended my hand, he took it in his and lifted it to his lps. Gently kissing the back of my hand then smiling as he unwillingly let go. I staggered a bit but he caught me. My face went red immediately. "I'm Mr. Andrich Lionel and you are?" He asked with a curious smile on his face. I kept smiling as I stare at his face unable to say a word. "Hey!" He waved his hand on my face and I immediately snapped from my thoughts. "Huh.....we're you saying something?" I asked. "I asked what's your name?" He repeated. "Adriana but people calls me Anna" I muttered. "You're beautiful ." He said and my cheek turned red again. "You're not bad Mr. Aldrich Lionel" I teased. "Lovely!" He smirked and moved closer to me. Our body almost touching. "You look like an angel." He said and I blushed. I hated how I always blushed so easily. "You were dancing for me earlier on, I liked that." His hand came to the back of my nek and he gently pulled me to his face and he smiled. I don't know what came over me but all of a sudden I couldn't wait for him to kss me, I took control. I held his face and lean for a kiss. I could feel his mouth slowly curve into a smile as he returned my kiss. Shock waves shot through my spine and I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. He let me take the lead. My hands moved to the back of his head and I grabbed a hand full of his curls and gently tugged, slowly tracing my fingers all the way down to his neck. He groaned again... I pulled away from him and opened my eyes, his eyes were clcsed but he opened them to look me dead in the eyes. "You are a good ksser" his voice was hoarse. I smiled as his hands came up to me. he lowered his head to kss me again. From my peripheral vision I saw Mara still engrossed in her dance. "Will you come with me?" He asked. "Where to?" My heart started to beat fast. I had just met him but I so badly wanted to go with him. "My private lounge, My guard can take care of your friend, I promise she will be safe." He sounded very genuine. I sigh. "She's drunk!" I whispered. "Trust me. " he said. "Fine. I trust you!" I replied.
