One Mischievous Night

~ One ~

"Get out of here you piece of crap!" 

"You worthless rat!" 

"Get out!" 

These were all the lines Levi kept on hearing since the day he was born. His parents were constantly wrangling and shouting at each other's point of view, and Levi just couldn't take the hang of it. 

His father was a businessman that runs a leading business until bankruptcy hits them hard. His father was prospecting for Levi's noble resolution to recover his enterprise but sadly changed when Levi turned to track a distinctive trail. Levi doesn't prefer to be like his father, a drunkard, an abusive husband, and a worthless father. Levi thought if he cast an extraordinary fate, he would somehow seek an entrance for peace of mind.

At eighteen, Levi immediately separated from his parents. He seized all the bravery to at least finish college by running part-time, and when he graduated, he took his mom from his father's hold and somehow live with him. 

Until one mischievous night changed it all. 

When Levi turned twenty-five, he had a steady job by applying his talent in architecture, he's got a bunch of offers from various individuals that his colleagues got envious of and drove him to drop into a trap by losing his stature and job. 

"I knew it! I knew he was picking up a romantic relationship with our boss!" One of his co-workers spoke while checking out a video that's been scattering online in their office. 

"Poor Levi I knew he doesn't have the potential, without Ms. Rebecca's power, I'm sure he wouldn't get promoted as our manager." 

Rebecca Stone is a businesswoman who's label was a flood favorite in the industry, she's kinda named as a young entrepreneur since she used to run her business at ten. She was a schoolmate of Levi who still had a crush on him for a long time, and by the tactics of hiring Levi as her ally, she assumed that she'd had the chance. 

But she was wrong. 

Levi didn't have a personal nor emotional attachment towards Rebecca that made Levi to reject her cause he thought being a trade partner is enough for Rebecca to acknowledge him. 

When Rebecca got bruised by being turned down, she went mad and made Levi lose his moment to glow as the finest architect in the city. She made Levi look like a fool by uploading a video that wasn't honest to verify that he's just using her in exchange to increase popularity inside the industry. 

As the rumors and spurious articles scatter online, Levi immediately dropped his career and dream as Rebecca's family made sure Levi wouldn't have the chance to speculate for justice. 

Those who settled on Levi's side remained to encourage him, which now draws to a unique story that Levi is about to open. 

"Let's take another drink!" Levi told his friends while they're sitting on the bar counter. 

"Levi stop! You had enough already!" Alexa said and took the glass out of Levi's hold. 

It's been the third week since Levi started drinking after losing his job and the only one who kept him company was Alexa and Liliana whose both a lesbian friend of him. 

"Levi you got to stop being depressed, just because that b***h has the power doesn't mean it's over." Liliana gave a piece of advice to keep Levi from having hope. 

But he just laughs sarcastically. 

"Oh please, that's  Rebecca, the third generation rich man's daughter," Levi said bitterly. 

"Would you like me to punch that b***h's face for you? At least even if you die drinking, you'll have your revenge." Liliana giggled. 

"Seriously babe, you got to stop that." Alexa seriously said to her girlfriend Liliana. 

Levi wanted to revenge but as much as he'd want to he knew he wouldn't stand a chance. She's too rich to handle and a brat to hold. 

All he had in mind was to start repeatedly, but upon having thirty job interviews from the original company's, Levi didn't at least have time to get hired. 

"I'm hopeless," He said staring at his drink. 

"No, you're not, get a break." Alexa firmly said. 

"But he's jobless, where would he get the money to shop and travel?" Liliana asked, and somehow Alexa glared at her and also took off her drink. 

"Silly, I didn't mean by traveling and shopping, I just want Levi to at least find another chore or interest," Alexa explained. 

"Oh yeah! Levi, you should!" Liliana cheered for Levi. 

"I don't think so besides I don't have time to waste, my mother needs to have her therapy as soon as possible," Levi said and somehow Alexa and Liliana sighed. 

They feel so bad for Levi going through this kind of situation. Rebecca is a very cruel person who only thinks only for her benefit. 

Levi was so close to achieving his dream. 

"Oh really? So, you think drinking for straight three weeks isn't a waste of time? For Pete's sake Levi, you got to move on!" Alexa annoyingly scolded Levi for being such a negative person. 

"Please understand me, Alexa I can't think of anything now and all I have is you guys." 

"Yes, we know that, but Levi, you also need to support yourself. I know that we can support you but, like this it is only you who can change your future, besides you said so yourself that you wouldn't want to be like your father and honestly that's not what we're seeing now." Alexa explained that reached Levi's ego and pride. 

It's true. 

What he's been doing now is as much as what his father does in the past. 

"No!"

"I don't want to be like him!" He shouted and stormed out towards the men's restroom. 

'Damn, I can't be like him! I don't want to be like him! He's such a loser and I am not! Levi thought to stare at his self on the restroom's mirror. 

When the liquor he's been drinking took sanity in his body, Levi got too dizzy to handle his balance and left to scramble on the floor. 

"Damn, I'm such a useless jerk." He wheezed. 

Few minutes after Levi gets the hang of himself, he seated right back to his chair on the counter where Alexa excused herself carrying Liliana from being too drunk, leaving Levi all by himself to drink the rest of the night. 

"Give me a shot of whiskey, please." He called the bartender and sat there thinking about how to resolve his problems.

When the music stood too loud for him to think, Levi eventually got irritated and messed around with some other girls lurking in his presence cause he never liked them.

"Get away from me, b***h!" He started shouting. 

"Oh, come on, you're too hot to ignore!" A blonde girl squeaked, which left Levi's body to itch disgustingly. 

"f**k off, I have a girlfriend." He lied, which brought the girls to get upset and ignore him instead. 

But one thing kinda got his attention, when a soothing scent came to reach Levi's senses that led himself to check at the man sitting beside him. 

"I can sense how sad you are." A deep-voiced echoed inside his ears.
