Colliding With Fate

Beginning

"Man... You drank a lot! You're really heavy, you know that?" I heard Gray mumbled some words but my head's spinning and couldn't process what he was saying.

"Why were you alone in the VIP huh? Unfair brat! You should've invited me and shared those drinks with me!" Still mumbling.

"Gray... Shut up." I spatted to him. He really is annoying right now. "My head's spinning around, so please shut up, I might blackout."

"Then why were you alone in there?"

"I wasn't!!" Was I? I'm not sure, there were some vivid memories at the back of my head that I could hardly recall. What the hell is wrong with me.

Yes, Gray's right then... I am drunk as hell!

I closed my eyes as I inhaled the smell of vodka. It lingered in my nostrils.

Gray is carrying me, my arms at his shoulder, as what I'm feeling, towards my penthouse. I have no idea where we are right now since I kept my eyes shut.

With every pace do, my world whirls. My mind could no longer function well, I am so far from being sober.

"Gray, I-I'll pass out for a while," I mumbled. I let out a snicker when I felt him pinch my arm.

"What the f**k!? I'll leave you here in the lobby if you pass out, we are almost there shithead!"

"Com'on... You kept saying that! How far are we anyway?"

"You freaking went to Echo!"

As far as my mind could remember as of my state right now, Echo is an exclusive bar. It is where I and my friends usually hang out... Before. I rarely go there right now. Heck no! I never go there.

Not because I'm no longer together with my buddies, its because... Of a girl...

The warmth, intimacy of that girl... It always remained. It f*****g lingered. The blonde locks, how it reflected through the small light from the window, vanilla-musk scent, her soft and tender lips, her delicate touch while we tangle up all night.

How can I forget those?

After all these years, it still... f*****g lingers.

For two years, I searched for her, for her name, but she never was found. I never saw her face for it was pitch black dark when we... Were doing it.

Every night I return to that place for a year. Hoping I get to find her. She made my serene nights horrid and she gave me shitty wet dreams.

But when I felt that she's never coming back. IT frustrated the hell out of me. I gave up. And I, never ever, returned to that place. Ever again.

"Are you sure I was there?" I feel like we are in an elevator right now. I feel like vomiting when I feel the lift.

"Yes! Dude, you're still in the hunt for that lady? It's been what? Two years?"

"I'm not! I don't even believe that I went there!" I said. "How did you found me, by the way?"

"Laying at the huge couch near the doorway, that red velvet one? Yes, you were laying there, thinking you were dead," he let out a loud laugh. I slapped his face. "The bouncer of the bar called me by the way. Saying, 'Hey mister, Is this Gray Fullbuster? Natsu Dragneel's in here at Echo VIP, I scanned through the VIP list and saw your name always beside his, thinking you are his... Family member or friend, perhaps? His reservation was only 'til 2 am. We might find him with charges if he goes beyond that. Thank you!'" he said, imitating the voice of the caller.

"And you know how pissed I am?! Knowing you finished all those luxurious drinks without telling me!? Natsu you unfair bastard!" He whined like a little kid.

"You were busy with your lover, idiot."

"Fucker." He mumbled, again.

"Card motherfucker." He said.

I gave Gray my card and we entered my place. Th bastard aggressively pushed me to the sofa and the armrest of it hit my head. I keened and showed him my middle finger.

"You deserve it for not inviting me." He said. I sheepishly grinned.

I shifted to the left and let sleep overtake my consciousness.

"Fuck." I muttered.

My head hurt so bad. I closed my eyes as the sun rays hit it, peeping through the blinds of my window.

I'm dumbfounded as to why I am on the couch.

The smell of vodka was all over me,

"What the fuck..." I said when a realization hit my head.

Was it a dream?

She... Was there again... In my dream.

It was probably a dream.

But, the feeling was so real. She was with me again, tangled underneath the sheets doing what only me, she and the heaven knows.

The memory of last night hit my head, and I couldn't help it but widened my eyes. My heart was beating so loud that I could hear every beat of it. As if it is echoing the whole penthouse. Because after two years, the familiarity... I know it was her.

After two years... She was there...

She is going to wreck me again, put me in places I shouldn't. Search for her from dusk 'til dawn. Visit my wildest dreams. She came again and collided with my world in the most unexpected way. With the collision she made two years ago, it wrecked my world into pieces. And now... she did it again...
