Fifty (Unedited)

  I realized I am basically the elderly who hated teenagers on street.Oh, so ... Am I really an aunt?"Hi, Ezekiel!" I greeted the man who was sitting on the stool.It immediately turned around and I saw the shock in him when he saw me."Liana," He said in adeep baritone. I flashed a small, sweet smile."Hi ...""Wow!" His smile brightened, he stood up and helped me sit down."You looked beautiful, as always!" He said and my cheek got hot. I chuckled, he looked kindly and called the waiter to give me a drink."You looked handsome too," I said and I mean it.He matured a lot since college! His body became more stretched compared to before, which was a bit slender.We talked a lot, reminiscing our college days. He's a good listener, I finally noticed that I was so talkative that we laughed.With the loudness of the music, we could hardly hear each other so our faces were close together to hear each other. He was almost shouting the words on my ear.I chuckled when his lips touched my cheek briefly, probably because I was also dizzy from the alcohol.He's fun to be with, I just can't focus because of the alcohol and the feeling of being watched.My lips protruded, my forehead furrowed and my eyes rolled but I could see nothing.I just hope that it isn't the asshole, Adler.I continued talking to Ezekiel but I was pre-occupied and out of focus. I look round and round because of the feeling of watching my actions."Are you alright, Liana?" Ezekiel touched my forearm.“Yes,” I smiled. "I just ... you know, I'll restroom first.""Oh ... sure!" He grinned and stood."I'll take you.""No, it's okay." I said softly. He nodded, he supported me upright for a while and was a little drunk but I stood up properly.I made my way to the restroom with the feeling of being followed, when I saw that presence seemed familiar, I snorted.It's like that even when I was in Hill Valley!I entered the restroom, at first, I had someone with me but later the woman disappeared as well.I fixed myself in the bathroom, I brushed my curly hair and fixed my small dress and put on a red lipstick.My face was pale in the light so I put a little blush on and stared into the mirror.I looked pretty, I don't look like Auntie, do I? Those kids!Satisfied, I glanced again before exiting the bathroom but almost jumped when I saw Adler standing opposite the restroom."A-What are you doing ?!" I exclaimed.His forehead creased at me; he looks darkly handsome with his drunk look. He was still fine but obviously drunk because of his bulging eyes."I followed you," He said huskily.I gulped when he advanced a step, I stepped back there and gasped."B-Why? Because my father asked you?" I said bitterly.His breath deepened, he sought my eyes and spoke."Because I want to," he whispered into the air."Because my Daddy ordered ..." I chuckled bitterly. "Come on, Adler, you can leave me alone.""I won't." He sighed. I took a deep breath when I entered the bathroom again and he entered as well."W-Why is your contract over, right? You can leave me alone now! S-You said you don't like me! Is it because of my Dad then, so you're always here--”?"I am here because I want to," He sighed. "Damn, I'd protect you again and again.""F-For?" My voice trembled.I gasped when my back reached the wall, my back hit it and I gasped when I saw him lock the door and approach me.I gulped and my heart started beating loudly.My eyes dilated with the sight of him closer to me, my breathing quickened as he brought his body closer to me and placed his hand above my head.He towered me, a whimper left my lips when he caught my chin and lifted it, making me see his green eyes."What are you doing with that boy, hmm ..." He whispered softly, staring at my lips."D-Date ..." I whispered. His eyes darken and his lips lifted for a bitter smile."I wish I could date another woman too," she whispered so I was surprised and looked up at her."T-Then date another woman." I said but the weight of my heart."I will if only I could," He chuckled non-conversantly. "But I'm stuck with you for years.""H-Huh?" Tires I said."I don't break promises, Liana." He smiled sadly at me. "I won't because my heart can't. I promised to protect you, over and over again."I smelled liquor on his breath and even though my heart was pounding I looked up at him."W-Why are you saying this?" My voice is low."Because I want to," He whispered. "Even if it f*****g hurts seeing your liking other man than me. Even if it hurts seeing you kissing them."I gasped when his lips landed on my cheek."Y-You pushed me away and now ...""Because I have to stop myself," he whispered. "I don't want to hurt you.""By hurting me?" I whispered.“That’s the only way,” Said. "I should be staying away from you like what I intended to always do. I should have just stayed under your shadow.""Hey, why are you here?" I whispered. The heart is losing."Because I'm stupid," He chuckled non-conversantly. "I can't stay away from you ... No matter how hard I try to keep myself away from you because I don't want to do the same thing again."I didn't say a word and took a deep breath."I-I am hurt, Phoenix." I gasped. "Because I like you ... and you pushed me away.""I am hurt too, Liana." He sighed and placed his forehead against mine. "You hurt me first, years ago, when you blocked me out from your memory."I was stunned there and I didn’t know but tears dripped from my eyes."I-I did?" My heart started beating wildly.He didn't answer, I saw his bloodshot eyes, he looked very weak there. My mouth parted when he planted a small kiss on my lips and dried my cheek."What ..." I searched his eyes."I'm f*****g drunk," He groaned and held my waist. He dropped a kiss on my lips again and searched my eyes."I can't even see you clearly now," he complained and frowned. "f**k that drinks, I will punch Arrow.""L-Are you really drunk?" I whispered and stroked his cheek.I saw him close his eyes and wake up again, searching for my eyes."Can I kiss you?" He whispered. "I might sober up if I kiss you.""B-But we haven't greeted yet!" I exclaimed."Let's feel better, please ..." He whispered, staring at my lips."No," I murmured, getting drunk as well as he thinks. "I do not want...""Baby ... please?" He murmured. I gasped in shock when he lifted my waist so I froze and hugged his neck.My eyes widen when he walked towards the sink and placed me on top of it, the mirror on my back.
