A Mystical Destiny

Chapter 5 - Animosity

Loud music and more bottles of alcohol, boy diving to the pool, and some already asleep on the table, the party resumes. It's almost 12 in the morning, but the music is still dominating the pool area. The bottles of alcohol are everywhere.

"Stop swimming. You guys are drunk!" Klasy shouted when they started acting like a kid. She had to request 2 guards to look after the area in case someone drowns.

Everyone's drunk or at least tipsy, but one guy is still working in the middle of that chaos. Klasy's eyes went to the guy who's on a call with her secretary. He's been drinking slowly, but his tolerance really surprises her. He can talk straight, walk like he's drinking water.

"You can already go to your room if you have a call. It's too noisy here. If you leave now, they will follow you and just call it a night." Klasy approached Theo. He just gave her a quick glance before ending the call.

"You're worrying too much for these grown up men. They can take care of themselves. You can go back first if you're already sleepy." He answered seriously.

"Stop drinking that whiskey too. You can get a heartattack with that much level of alcohol content."

He smirked. He never had someone worry for him before. He's convinced that she is pure. Tthe fact the he's getting on her nerves, but she's still concern about him.

"My mom doesn't even nag me as much as you're doing now." He commented. She rolled her eyes and collected the bottle of whiskey, so he won't fill his glass again.

"I am not your mom, but this is my house. You can't die here." She went inside the villa to put the whiskey back in the liquor room.

She felt the chill when she opened the room. It has a maintained temperature, and since she's tipsy now she finds it cold.

Klasy was about to put the bottle of whiskey on the consumed section, but she heard the door closing. She immediately turned to see who followed her.

"You can have the whiskey that Raphael is drinking. This is too much, sorry, can't let you have any more." Her heart raised after seeing Theo.

He silently stared at her. He's leaning on the door. When their eyes met, he smiled at her playfully.

"I've been watching you all night, Klasy." He stepped forward which made her tremble.

"Stop right there," she warned him.

"You won't even look at me." He said as if it breaks his heart. He walked until he's one step away from the lady. She had to look up to meet his eyes. At that moment, she can't understand the exact reason why her heart is racing. His death stare, his scent mixing with the strong smell of alcohol he was drinking, the white shirt, aggitated jaw... all of them is sexy to her.

"You're about to throw yourself to any man out there, but you won't look at me no matter what. Why, Klasy?" Tthat question made her face beat red. Her mind immediately told her to get out of that place.

"We're not that close to have private conversation like this..." She walked one step but he blocked her way. Now they are closer to each other.

Theo can't help it. He took step forward, but of course she moved back. After 3 steps, she was cornered in the rack full of liquor bottles. She's holding her breath when Theo placed his hand on the rack beside her head.

"I can see everything behind the white thin cloth, Klasy. Tthat little dress is hiding nothing. Let me say you have really nice friends, they keep sane while you're provoking. But I'm not nice." His lips claimed hers. She remained very still when he bite her lower lip trying to seek entrance. She tasted the whiskey which made her feel drunk. It was her automatic response to close her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

She doesn't know how to respond. He pulled her waist close to him, and at the cue she opened her mouth in surprise. She's worried that the bottles behind might fall at them.

The sensation, the fear... everything is new to her. She's never been into this place. 

"You haven't kissed anyone before?" His amazement is bigger than surprise. She can't even look him in the eyes. His hand is still carefully holding her small waist.

"L-let me go..." Klasy almost begged.

He took a deep breath. He doesn't know how to handle a woman like her. In an instant, he let her go and she rushed to go out of that room. Her knees are trembling when she bumped into Paolo on her way out of the villa.

"Are you alright?" Pao asked when he noticed she looked surprised.

"Y-yes I'm fine. You're still on the pool?" She frowned and gave him a head to toe look.

"Just let us be. We're doing this once in a while. Are you sure you're okay? You look like you just saw a ghost."

"What do you mean, Pao? I'm not that drunk!" She hit his arm hard. Right at that moment, Theo walked past them. He gave them a quick glance, but walked as if he did not know them.

"And what's his problem? People tonight are so weird." Paolo commented before heading back to the pool.

"Pao!" Klasy shouted.

Both Paolo and Theo faced her.

"Alright, we'll finish up in 30 minutes. We're just finishing the last bottle, babe." She figured he's really drunk.

"Don't go anywhere else. Last time you still went bar hopping. Go straight to sleep, we can have fun again tomorrow. Do you even have towel with you?" Paolo smiled at that.

"Yes, babe. We have enough towels here. Go to sleep first. Rowy is already in her room. Good night." She pouted when he used sweet tone to say that, but then she's reminded of the kiss a while ago. Her heart raced again when she looked at Theo who's just behind Paolo that moment.

"Alright. Good night." She said that and immediately walked to her room. She just wants to forget everything. For some reason, she felt ashamed when the man asked her if she hasn't kissed anyone before.

For the rest of the night, she's thinking how good it felt to be kissed. She was blushing from the alcohol she had and from the devastating feeling. She has to remind herself that Theo is dangerous. He is not someone she can handle.

The next morning, she wakes up early. She barely slept and her body is shaking a little with the cold breeze outside. She helped to prepare their brunch.

While preparing the table, she heard a familiar voice then saw Theo walking with his phone on his ear. He's wearing a black shirt and shorts, and he still managed to look expensive.

He didn't see Klasy so he went out of the villa straight. She watched him stand outside while in a call. He must be very busy even on weekends. She admired his big frame and the way he stands.

"Ma'am, I can do the rest. Let me know if you need anything else." The housekeeper told her when she was spacing out.

"Ah thank you so much. Let's wait for 30 more minutes for them. Heat up the soup for them, they surely have hangover."

Klasy went to slice some mangoes and her focus is on it until she heard the deep voice of Theo from the back. Her jaw dropped when she accidentally sliced the tip of her finger.

"Good morning. You're up really early." She didn't realize he was there. When Klasy turned to look at him, he saw the blood on her finger.

"Tsk, how old are you to be this clumsy?" He seemed so relaxed even after seeing the blood.

"It's your fault!! Why didn't you make any noise when you..."

"Wash it." He interrupted. She furiously followed. She's thinking about the mangoes.

He followed her to the sink so she gave him a strange look.

"What?!" She asked.

"I'll wash my hands. Let me finish slicing the damn mangoes." He answered casually.

She's still going to say something but figured it might not be so hygienic to continue slicing those mangoes with cut on her finger.

She watched him cut the remaining mangoes and instructed her to place it on the dining table. They sat 2 seats apart from one another. Both are busy with their phones. 

"Let's forget about what happened last night." She bite her lower lip when she said that to break the silence.

She turned to Theo to see his reaction. A smirk is displayed on his face. He gave her a head to toe look and put his phone down. The amazed look in his eyes didn't escape her.

"What actually happened, Klasy? Can that be considered a kiss?" Her face flushed.

"L-let's pretend that didn't happen, and don't you daer mention that in front of our feinds."

"I have never seen anyone who doesn't know how to kiss since highschool." He roasted.

"Shut up!"

"Don't worry. I won't let anyone know though I think they already knew because Ii heard from them you never had a boyfriend. Really amazing. I'm amazed more than you think, Klasy." He let out a singular laugh before raising his brow.

She couldn't find the right words to answer him. He picked his phone to answer the call again. He stayed seated and told the caller to call him after 2 hours as he's busy with something.

Before Theo could end the call, Rowy joined them in the table.

"So what time did your party finish?" She asked her bestfriend.
