The Clumsy Designer

Chapter 5

Everything turned out to be so great, I became one of the top students. It gave me more confidence and boosted my inner motivation in my work. I've become busier in the last months as we are nearing school break.

But of course, I would never ever forget my handsome and lovely boyfriend.

Whenever I stayed up all night, he would stay in my room keeping me company and making sure I was completely alright.

For my Theia Aliana, she made a quick visit here. She didn't want to stay long since I was in the middle of something, but she stayed for a day because I made time to spend it with her.

The feeling of fulfilment knowing that I'd passed most of my requirements, I let myself be relaxed and decided to take Lucifer's offer of hanging out with him and the boys.

I've grown accustomed to Aidan's jerk personality, Milo's weird silence towards me and the rest of the boys who were pretty decent to me. As Lucifer and I dated longer, I could see them acting more unusually with me than the last time.

I was thinking that maybe they're not just used to Lucifer dating a girl, as Jazz mentioned to me that I was really his first girl that he introduced to the squad.

It made me feel some kind of a woman's pride, but I felt a little bit of shame that I had a few boyfriends before him. But only less, if I only knew that God would give me him I would gladly stay single 'till I met him.

But those guys were not serious, just some puppy love.

Oh yeah, why'd you give your first kiss when you’re still fifteen?

My subconscious countered back, internally groaning. I remembered it again.

What the hell?

I thought that was natural.

I've seen it in movies that most women give their first kisses when they are still young.

Whatever, I really don't regret giving Adriano that.

Though it would have been nicer if Lucifer got that.

You kissed him on your first date.

Ah f**k, shut up subconscious.

But I really don’t regret it, hihi.

Combining my hair with my fingers, I tightened my towel around me as I turned the shower off and stepped out of the bathroom to get ready for tonight's party with Lucifer's friends.

I wasn't that kind of girl who takes a lot of time to get ready. I tried to be on time and get ready early. I don't want people seeing me as a selfish woman who doesn't care about anybody’s time.

Time is free, but it is priceless.

Sitting down in front of my vanity table, I switched on the lights surrounding the mirror. I bought this recently from my saved-up money allowance.

Since I'm not an addicted shopper, I get to save up a lot of money considering how high my weekly allowance from my father was. I tried once to persuade him that he didn't need to give me more than enough, but he insisted.

Well, if we ever go bankrupt... I'm not the one to be blamed.

Thinking about allowances, Ametrine never accepted any.

She was very adamant about working for her own pocket money. Patri and her fought for it again. But she just brushed him away, pointing out that she didn't want his money.

So she took a job in our business and worked her way up. That's a clear smart move from her knowing herself that she would inherit that empire one day.

Erasing all of my thoughts from my stubborn-minded older sister, I finished applying the right amount of makeup on my face. I didn't need to go all out, we were just going to go to Jazz' house and have a party over there.

Lucifer told me that I was welcome to invite my friends over, and of course I did.

They would be the ones picking me up. Lucifer insisted that we go together, but we could just see each other there at the party.

We were all going. Today was a great day for them. Knowing Bullet, I thought he would pass. From what I've seen in the movies, medical students are rarely free. But he's free. I didn't ask questions because he would probably think that I didn't want him there.

As for Max and Andrea, they've begun bickering a lot more often. And for some reason, I see Bullet getting bothered by it. For those of you who don't know, in our small friendship group, Bullet and Rham were gays.

I was having a theory inside my mind that maybe Bullet was in love with Max? Ugh, my friends are complicated, but I love them both.

As for Nichole and Joshua, they've broken up completely.

From what Nichole had told me, Joshua denied her.

Fuck, imagining going through that hurts a lot. Yet, I was happy for her since she no longer had someone toxic in her life.

And about Jem and Rham, they're both happy with their lives. On our break, Rham will visit his family in the Philippines and has already saved enough money for his ticket.

I offered him that father could pay for it, but he said it was too much and was very grateful for all of the things we'd done for him.

Jeremy, hmm... he is kind of hard to read, especially when he is not opening his mouth.

He hasn't said any juicy details about him, so I guess for now that he's fine.

Remembering that he was the reason that Lucifer and I got together, I thanked him numerous times and treated him to lunch. He would pretend to decline, but I knew he loved getting free food.

Shaking my thoughts off, I looked at the clock and muttered a curse.

They'll probably be here in about ten minutes and I'm still not dressed.

Deciding to wear a strapless red dress that reached under my knee, I paired it with nice two-inch heels. Having my hair down, spraying perfume behind my ear, over my chest and on my neck... It was good to go.

Taking my phone, I texted Lucifer.

To: Baby

Hey, I'm just waiting for them to come and pick me up. See you soon! x

From: Baby

Okkk, I hope u reach here soon:(( I miss seeing your beautiful face xxx

To: Baby

You just saw me a few hours ago >_

From: Baby

That isn't enough, and shall never be!

Well, I'll just see you here.

Have a safe ride!

I didn't bother replying, knowing that we would both get engrossed.

Finally, my phone rang.

"Where are you? We're down here. Vente paca mi bebe!" Andrea screams on the phone.

I cringed at how hurt my ears were, deciding to get along with her Mexican. I answered back.

"Desde luego, Drei. Desde luego (Of course)," I muttered, and before she could scream at me again, I hung up the call and took one last peak at the mirror of my reflection.

"Parfaite! (Perfection)."

Imitating French people, my silly self placed my fingers on my lips and made a kissing sound before throwing my hand into the air.

"Mwah!"

===

Arriving in front of Jazz' big ass mansion, the grounds were full with cars parked around the house. People were scattered everywhere, someone was making out in a car, some group of people huddled together like planning some big ass assassination to someone important.

Max, Nich, Rham, Jem, Drei, Bullet and I stepped out of Max's car. We surprisingly all fit inside it, but Drei is always being the Mexican Drama Queen she is. She and Max fought the whole ride, making it unbearable.

But the thought of having to spend time with Lucifer made me shut up and just let them be.

"Damn, this Jazz guy knows how to throw a party," Bullet says, fully astonished.

His mansion was a Victorian-style kind of structure with lamps scattered everywhere and a big wide door sitting in front of the three-step stairs. Their house was magnificent, and I probably would choose this over my home in Athens.

It was beautiful too, but it was too big. When I was little, I always got lost in them and so Patri hired a nanny so I wouldn't have to be alone walking around the halls. And as I got older, I finally memorized where the rooms were inside my head.

"Come on, let's get inside," Jem says, snapping all of us out from our own little world.

We all chattered happily approaching the closed doors, and when we knocked, Jazz greeted us with a big smile.

"Glad you guys could come, come in, come in. The booze is in the kitchen, help yourselves." He patted Jem's back and gave me a smile, greeting us all.

"Come with me girl, we're looking for some hot papi tonight!" Rham said, pulling Bullet away.

And then, one by one, we all went in different directions and just agreed that Jem would be our driver tonight, knowing he doesn't drink too much and Max just loves drowning himself in alcohol.

Letting them be, I searched around the house looking for my Lucifer.

My Lucifer.

That's so good to hear.

"Looking for me?"

Gasping, I turned to the familiar voice.

"Hey baby..." My voice gave off as he gave me a full kiss. It lasted for seconds before he pulled away so we could breathe.

"So glad to finally see you, you want to be wasted tonight?" He asked, but the look in his eyes was telling me that I should give him the right answer or else we'd be going home tonight.

Knowing the risks, calculating them inside my head, I knew they were not worth it. So many bad things could happen when you're drunk around a lot of people you don't know, they could drug your drink and you wouldn't even know about it.

"Nope, I'm fine hanging out with you. Will you be drinking tonight?"

"Only a little, I'm not in the mood to be drunk tonight." Then he places his hand behind me and leads the way where his friends were seating at.

And I was right, in the middle of the living room there sat his friends.

Rolling my eyes, I take my eyes off of Aidan, seeing him making out with another random girl.

"Hey girl, how have you been?" Iris greeted me, waving her hand over.

"Hi! I've been fine, you?" I took the audacity to sit next to her, seeing that it was vacant.

"Just fantastic," She giggled.

Deciding to greet his other friends, I turned to them and saw that they were already looking at me.

Internally clearing my throat, I sat there dumbstruck. I was wondering if they would greet me first, but seeing as a few minutes passed by and they didn't-I did.

"Hey Milo. What's up, Ace? Hi Brent, uhm... hi Jordan?" I meekly said the last one, oh f**k I forgot his name.

"It's George," he said with a bored expression, then stood up after giving me a weird stare and then completely left the scene.

And as it was cued, everyone's attention then went to me.

I felt my face turn hot, tugging on Lucifer's shirt. I linked him to save me. Ugh, we're not wolves. But maybe it would work.

And it did, probably because I looked at him like a lost puppy while tugging on his shirt.

I looked stupid, I know.

"Stop the staring, she's mine."

He then looked down at me, giving me a wink. My cheeks then turned red as a freaking tomato.

And inside that big-assed mansion, with deafening loud music and people scattered everywhere, my heart fluttered at what he said.

Focus, Blue.

FOCUS.

"You haven't greeted me yet," Aidan says, placing his hands at the sides of the sofa as the brunet girl sits in his lap and tries hard to grind herself to him while giving me deadly glares.

What the f**k is her deal?

If she thinks that I will steal Aidan from her, she has another thing coming.

She could kidnap him, and I wouldn't even care.

"Hi Aidan," I said, gritting my teeth in annoyance as to why I have to deal with this human?

"It's Ey-Dan, not Ay-Dan!" He shouted over the loud music, wanting to make his point.

I only gave him a tight lips smile and didn't answer back anymore, knowing it would be useless.

Then why didn’t he f*****g spell his name to Eidan?

Dumbshit.

And as night fell, I was beginning to have fun. My friends were still sober, and that's a good sign, whilst Max drowns himself with alcohol surrounding him as if they were naked strippers.

Lucifer and I make our way to the dance floor, wanting to dance the night away. He was a bit tipsy now, while I only had two half drinks, and that was enough for me.

Giggling, I twirl in his arms as he raises his hand indicating for me to do so. He's so f*****g silly when drunk, then he begins to twerk. Everyone around us started clapping and cheering all together as Lucifer really loses himself and starts twerking hard with the music.

And some of his friends decided to join us, making me laugh harder.

Taking my phone out, I couldn't resist filming him and couldn't wait to show it to him the next day, already thinking of his reaction.

Throwing my head back as I laugh, he then proceeds to grind the floor like a worm wanting to itch itself. His friends came along, and the DJ made the music more hype.

"Get up there you loser!" I jokingly shouted at him, trying to make my voice louder than the music.

And as if he heard me, he stood up from the floor and then daringly looked at me.

"Oh no, no, Lucifer- ahh!" As soon as I saw that look, I tried backing away but he had already placed his hands around my waist and began pulling me towards him.

"Come and dance with me, agape mou!" With the worst Greek accent I have heard, I burst out laughing that I couldn't feel my stomach anymore.

And he stood up straight, walking a few steps away from me before placing his hand out to mine like a cowboy asking for a dance.

Deciding to get along with it, I placed my hand in his and then I gasped when he lowered me like we were dancing tango.

And I spoke too soon, because now we're doing tango.

The DJ sensed what we were doing and changed the music all over again. A lot of people have now decided to come join us with this crazy 90's dance party Lucifer has started.

My grip tightens over him as I see him very concentrated on dancing, "You know what, I should make you drunk more often to bring out the dancer in you."

I wiggled my eyebrows, he looked at me seductively and bit my lips gently.

"I'm a natural born dancer, buttercup. You should have seen my high school days."

===

Jeremy placed Lucifer's right arm over his shoulder as I placed Lucifer's left on mine. We carefully trudged to where Max' car was parked. Good thing, Bullet, Andrea, Rham, Nichole and Max were already inside the car and they were like dead considering how many drinks they'd had.

Lucifer's friends were too drunk as they all passed out in different corners of Jazz' house.

Gently placing Lucifer inside the car, we both got in.

Lucifer was with my friends at the back, whilst I got the shotgun seat and Jem was going to be our driver.

He was about to start the engine when suddenly a look of realization dawned upon his face.

"Oh shoot, wait I have to go look for my phone." He gave me an apologetic look and rushed back inside to the silent house.

Looking at the time on my phone, I chuckled at the fact that we all had a blast tonight considering we're going home at four in the morning.

My father would be angry if he learned about this, and, of course, I don't intend to let him know.

Or else he might bring my ass back to Athens and just demand me to learn what I want to learn there.

A few seconds pass by and then I hear Max' continuous chuckles.

"I don't know if it's me just having too much to drink or if it's true."

He was pausing each word, considering how drunk he really was right now.

I didn't pay any attention to him, I was used to Max uttering bullshit when he's drunk.

"But I heard that George guy talk about 'ya."

Then he chuckles again and begins drawing figures in the air.

I looked in the rearview mirror, trying to see who was awake other than Max, so I could find out who he was talking to. When I saw no one but him, I confusedly thought that maybe it was for me?

"Some words were like, you're so blind to not see it. I wanted to punch his face, l-like you're my friend Blue."

When he stated my name, I then finally turned to him and saw his closed eyes as he made bubble sounds and played with his lips.

I stood silent, wanting to know what he was saying while being drunk as f**k.

"They said, oh I'm assuming they're a gazillion s-so many considering how many voices I heard."

I was getting irritated at him, I just wanted him to say it in one full sentence because, f**k, I'm so curious.

"They said, you're blind again," Max pauses to laugh and then his voice suddenly turns serious. "You're a fool to not realize that you've been played-"

Snapping my gaze at his, I groaned, seeing him pass out and snoring.

Played?

Played by whom?

What the f**k?

Scratching my head in annoyance, I tried to shake him awake. f**k, I can not sleep if he leaves me hanging this time.

"Here it is, sorry I took a long time. I forgot where I left it."

Jeremy's voice rang in my head.

But the only thing plastered on my mind were Max' words. I was digging up my head trying to think of whom they were referring to that played me.

"Are you okay Blue?" Jem places a hand on top of my shoulder, looking at me with concern.

Giving him a small smile, I nodded.

"If you say so..."

And as he started the engine, my mind wandered off to one person.

Looking at the backseat...

I stared at Lucifer's innocent face while he slept soundly.

Is it you that Max is referring to?
