2153 Words
They spent the afternoon doing what they want. Theo and Paolo are with their other friends. At the moment, Theo is the center of attention as he showed everyone his skill in polo. Stallion University is known for producing the best polo athletes in the country. While Theo was in highschool, he learned some skills from the son of the owner which he practiced when he migrated to US. Only Rowy, Vince and Klasy were away from them as they chose to swim and watch the sunset. Everyone was hyping Theo when he said he got some skills in polo. He was not even kidding. Paolo told the caretaker of horses if they can borrow one for Theo. "Herm is in good condition these days. Would you need assistance? Who's riding?" "Which is Klasy's horse?" Theo approached them with a big smirk. The caretaker just glanced at him, and was about to ignore the question but Theo made his way to the stable to search for horse. "Excuse me. It's my first time to meet you." The caretaker wasn't expecting the confidence that Theo was showing. "Nice to meet you. Theo." He introduced himself and even offered a handshake. He heard that employees here are like family to Klasy. Regardless, Theo is naturally polite to everyone unless they are getting on his nerves. The caretaker introduced himself also and gave background of the horse breeds they have. Theo is impressed of how well taken care the horses are. He stopped right in front of the cage of Thirdy. "You can take out every horse here except for Thirdy. He's only used to Klasy, and nobody else is allowed to touch him." "It's alright. I know how to tame an American Quarter Horse. It's fine." He insisted. Paolo had to interrupt. "You still can't use Thirdy. This is Klasy's horse and she doesn't allow anyone to..." "It's just a horse. She won't be able to do anything later. I'll take all the blame." His confidence is overflowing. Even the caretaker could not stop him when he opened the gate to let Thirdy out. Glossy white skin and mane, one can tell that the horse is maintained specially. Theo is already smiling imagining how he will get on Klasy's nerve once she receives the news. He assisted the horse to the open. The snorting indicates that the horse is not familiar with the handler, but none of it matters to Theo. "Are you serious about this? You might not be able to come back here when she finds out." His brother warning him to the nth time. "I said I don't care." Theo replied with a playful smile. This kind of things give him satisfaction. The caretaker prepared the horse. He keeps caressing him and checking the size to get familiar. Everyone's eyes are on him when he climbed to ride him. Strangely, the horse did not make any violent reaction. Even Paolo was amazed when Thirdy started running with the control of his brother. He was going on a steady speed until he gave a gallop. Theo looked like he's having so much fun with all people watching him and taking pictures. The mini show lasted for 10 minutes. "I like you, Thirdy! Very well-trained!" He assisted the caretaker to bring back Thirdy inside. He's doing everything without the permission of actual owner. They spent the slow afternoon doing activities around the resor. On the other side, Klasy, Rowy, and Vince are relaxing while swimming. They are talking about random things, stories they missed in a couple of weeks. It's almost 6 when they went out of water. Klasy took a quick shower then checked his media accounts, messages and other businesses. After replying to the urgent matters, she decided to go out and help with the preparation of party tonight. She is wearing a casual white dress exposing the perfect curves on her back. She got slight burnt on legs from the afternoon swim, but it still looked sexy on her. Her hair is tied to a ponytail, her natural look couldn't be more perfect. The dinner is almost ready, so she just assisted setting up the table. She asked to prepare the most expensive wines and alcohols. After being with her friends for a long time, she managed to master the alcohol of their taste. Around 7:30 in the evening when they started heading out for dinner. Rowy and Paolo went out together. They are discussing about the next season's designs. Vince joined her on the table as soon as he headed out. He's wearing a black polo shirt and khaki shorts. In his hands are his phones for business and personal use. "You're working even we're on vacation." That immediately earned a criticism from Rowy. "Can't help it. I'm needed everyday to keep business going." He even jokingly shrugged his shoulder. Theo was the last to join them. He was on a phone call when he arrived on the table. He's wearing a white shirt and knee-length denim shorts. Needless to say, everything he wears is luxurious. Even the perfume he's using is one of the most expensive and can only be bought in specific countries. When they are finally complete, they started with the dinner. "Thirdy was quite professional. Why won't you let anyone else ride him?" Theo was on the opposite side of the table, but he still managed to throw that question to Klasy. "I want to keep him for myself only. He's not used to other people, and he might cause accident so..." "As I said he's very professional and well-trained. He seems to like other people too, you just don't let him interact with them." He didn't let her finish. Her brow raised with how confident the man responded as if he got a chance to see Thirdy. She looked at their friends, but they are just giving the two of them awkward stares. "Did you ride my horse?!" She bursted in anger when she realized he was hinting on that. "I posted pictures on i********:, and people are appreciating Thirdy's beauty. Truly magnificent." He boasted even showing her the screen of his phone although he knew she wouldn't see because they are sitting on the opposite side of the table. "Who let you?! You crossed the line, Theo!" Her eyes are burning in anger. It's the first time that someone gets on her nerves uncontrollably. "I really can't say sorry because I was told many times I cannot ride him, but I insisted. So you can say it's intentional." He's provoking more. He likes to see her face red and her biting her low lip trying to calm herself. "Has anyone told you that you are really annoying?" She didn't try to conceal her words. She wanted to instigate full offense on him. "Many times already." But the way he is unbothered is making her feel more mad. She just rolled her eyes, and resumed eating. She tried to calm herself after. Paolo is there, so she can't keep attacking Theo, but she's ready to spit fire if he does anything more. The next conversation was fun. They are talking about funny things, and most people in their circle have sense of humor so it can never be boring between them. They lounged in outdoor sofa after eating. Paolo opened a bottle of wine, so the boys gathered around him. Klasy was taking pictures around when he saw Theo opening another bottle of whiskey. She's aware that alcohol level of Ardbeg Corryvreckan is more than 50%. That guy must have high alochol tolerance. Out of nowhere, Dave appeared in front of her asking her to take a picture of her while playing the guitar. He started strumming while looking at the camera with a smile. She took a video instead. Dave is the type who is good at everything. He has time for things he likes that's why among all her friends, he's the closest to her heart. He teaches her how to be patient and to take things slowly. "When did you learn how to play a guitar?" Klasy sat beside Dave. In front of them is the pool redlecting the light from posts. "Last month? I just watched a tutorial online, so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right." He chuckled. Hhis hair covered his eyes when he looked down to make sure that his fingers are positioned correctly on the strings. "I'm always amazed how everything appears easy for you." Klasy said with a pout. Dave was smiling when he looked up to her. Tthey almost grew up together. He knows that despite being a model of luxurious brands, Klasy is not the type to be impressed with expensive, shiny things. She appreciates talent, skills, and attitude more than those material things. "What do you mean? You're good at what you do. You have your own color, and you let it be known wherever you go. Do you know how big your impact is?" He never failed to cheer up her. "Okay enough. I'm just trying to say that I'm amazed by you. Can you play one more song?" She requested. From her peripheral view, she saw someone approaching them. A big frame appeared right in front of them. Dave looked up to that person and saw Paolo's straight face. "Would you like to join us?" His question is directed to Dave. Klasy immediately stood and wrapped her arms around Paolo. The guy has already expressed how he's jealous of Dave several times in the past. He looked a little drunk now, and she doesn't want to start a war for nothing between these 2 gentlemen. "Me, I want to join, Pao. Shall we?" She pulled Paolo to the table where they were drinking. The smell of alcohol in that area is too much for her. She sat beside Paolo, and she even pulled her seat closer to him causing Theo's brow to raise. He cannot see anyone else but that woman in white dress. She stands out among the rest, but he hates how she's a magnet to every man. "Should I pour you a drink?" Theo offered the 57.1% alcohol to Klasy. "No, thanks. I don't want to get drunk tonight. I'll just have the wine that Pao is drinking." She gave him a fake smile, but she loved the feeling of turning him down. Little did she know, Theo found it really attractive. "That's radical. She's drunk in every event, so she might not want to get drunk during vacation." Rowy said which made Theo smiled. Paolo looked at Klasy as if confirming if that's true. "There's alcohol in every event so..." She shrugged her shoulder and raised the glass for a toast with Paolo. "Must be nice to be single all your life..." Rowy commented again. "Yes it's so nice. I don't think about anything else. Are you happy now, Rowy?" She keeps attacking her because she knows she never gets offended by any of her jokes. "Stay single all your life then if you're having so much fun!" Rowy shouted from the other side of the table. "Okay, watch me stay single all my life and get drunk in every fashion event we attend to!" She answered. Theo's lips pursed. He can't believe this lady never had a man in her life. It explains the innocent vibe she's giving. He took a deep sigh and watched her closely. He's whipped with her entirety. From her messy ponytail down to every inch of her body. He cannot fathom the thought that a model like her surrounded by people all day with million of fans around the world has never been touched by anyone. "You think you can stay single all your life?" Paolo's voice was so serious, but he's smiling and giving her the looks. She just pinched his nose. "Rowy said I should stay single for life. What can I do? I am very obedient." She answered and finished the whole glass of wine without breaking the eye contact with Paolo. "If I make her say that you should marry me tomorrow, would you still be obedient?" That question which Paolo broke earned a loud cheer from their friends. Klasy's face turned red in seconds. She looked down and pretended to be shy. "What a hollow question, Pao. Do you think I would ask her to do that?" And that made everyone laugh after the teasing. "I swear, Rowy, you are the biggest reason why until now she's not giving me a chance!" Pao's wrath is just funny to Klasy. "What to do? I can't take responsibility for that!" Rowy answered. She always has answer to everything. "I'll make you pay someday!" That didn't sound like a warning from Paolo. That sounds like a statement. He's smiling while his eyes are sparkling watching Rowy mocked him.
