Feels Like Gravity

Chapter 1: Valentines

Week 1

It's such a great day. Everyone's celebrating for the company's success. The Grand Opening of our company's new business is a great success.

We're currently celebrating at one of the restaurants that President Excell owns. This is a very luxurious restaurant, and every food they've served were all great. This feels like home. Hahaha! Just kidding.

I can say that this is a great achievement for all of us, even the president is here to celebrate. Everyone's having so much fun. Of course, we should be. After going to the company so early and leaving so late, we all deserve this.

I heard my phone rang, and it was my alarm. I was having so much fun that I forgot to keep in track of time.

" Jen, I'll get going now." I whispered.

" Huh? Okay, I understand. Take care Miz." She said and hugged me.

" Thanks. You too. Don't get too drunk, okay?"

"Yes, ma'am! " She even saluted.

I can't help but to chuckle.

I hurriedly took a cab and with just few minutes, I already arrived. 'GROOVE', my favorite place. I entered the bar using the fire exit, as usual.

Reynard's annoyed face greeted me. Oh, great! I'm gonna hear his very long speech again. I inhaled and exhaled for countless of times to ready myself, specifically my ears.

His hands are on his waiste and he's sharply looking at me. I feel like he's already killing me in his mind.

He inhaled, then exhaled. Oh, here we goes.

" Why are you late again?! Don't you have your watch? What about your phone?! I know we're Filipinos, but please Miz. You can't be like this forever! Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...."

See? I even covered my ears but his voice is still ringing in my head. Gosh! I'm gonna be dreaming of him again tonight. Damn it!

" Come on, Rey. We were celebrating and besides, I'm just 15 minutes late. " I acted cute. If he continue scolding me, I'm afraid I can't participate in tonight's event.

" 15 minutes late is still late!" He massages his temple.

" Please....." I pouted.

" Next time if you're late again I won't let you in. I'll hire another Dj." He said that made me face him.

" Don't you dare! " I exclaimed.

" Don't make me. " He said and walk pass me.

" Hurry up. They're waiting. "

"I'll change my clothes first. "

I was about to go to the restroom when he stopped me.

" You're already late. Just go up there. "

" What? You want me go up there with my working uniform? Are you nuts?! They'll have an idea of who I am!" I protest.

" If you have showed up earlier, you might still have time to change. "

"Fine! I won't be late anymore, just let me change my clothes." I said that made him smile victoriously.

" Promise? " He teases.

" Tsk! " Then he laughed.

I changed my clothes accordingly to the place and occasion. I wore my red halter top and red shorts with my red lita boots and my red mask. All red.

It's Valentine's Day, so there's a lot of people going here. Mostly singles, trying to get wasted and of course, to flirt.

When I climbed the stage, they were all cheering up. Allan and Charlie positioned on my back, like they always do. They protect me from anyone while I'm in this club. I'm not the president's daughter or what, I just don't want to expose my identity.

" Let's officially start the party!!!! " I said and they replied with wild screams.

I played my remix version of You all over me by Taylor Swift that I prepared beforehand. They're all dancing wildly, so I assume they liked the music too. Me, myself can't help but to sway my body as well. The music's just so good. Loud volumes added more impact.

Taylor just released these songs and I just love it. When my first music ended, I played Mr. Perfectly Fine by Taylor Swift. It's not an edited version, cause the song is lively enough, but the lyrics? Damn!

Instead of just dancing, they also started singing at the top of their lungs. Wow... I never expected this.

I grab the mic and we all sang the chorus together.

~ Hello Mr. "Perfectly fine"

How's your heart after breaking mine?

Mr. "Always at the right place at the right time, " baby

Hello Mr. "Casually cruel"

Mr. "Everything revolves around you"

I've been Miss "Misery" since your goodbye

And you're Mr. "Perfectly fine"~

Third Person's P.O.V.

The Dj together with the dancers started to sing together with the music and those who just sat on their table stopped talking and just look at them.

One of the things that caught their attention is the Dj, mostly guys but even girls too. She's wearing a red halter top, red shorts, and red mask that covered half of her face.

Her voice is so good that made everyone enjoy the night even more.

" Who is she? " Liam asked.

He can't help but to stare at her and notice every movement she makes.

" The Dj? Who knows, she's wearing mask all the time. " Charles said.

"Lots of people are coming here just for her, and those big guys behind her, always follows wherever she goes." Drake explained.

" What is she, VIP?" Liam suddenly ask out of curiosity.

" Who knows." Drake shrug. " Maybe the president's mistress?" He sarcastically said that made the three of them laugh.

" Wait! Don't tell me you're interested in her?" Charles mock.

Their smirk suddenly fade when they noticed how Liam's eyes were nailed to the woman performing.

Liam smiled. " Yeah, and I know that you know what I want you to do." He said them drank his drink.

"Shot!" They both whispered.

Mizzy's P.O.V.

They're enjoying a lot, so am I. I always love the feeling when I'm doing what I love. It feels like I'm free, that everything that surrounds me doesn't matter anymore.

After me, Edward take over. He's a nice Dj too, but most of the clubs are looking for young DJs. Little did they know, those young DJs are no match for him. Yeah, he may be not that young, but he's so talented. Not just that, he's so handsome.

When I heard him play, I felt like I was hypnotized. I play 20th century music that teenagers like me prefers, but him? He can make even the oldest songs back to life. It's like old songs were born again with his talent.

I sat with Reynard whose drinking with his date. Oh, now I know why I've been receiving strange stares when I was playing those songs.

" Don't you know today's event? It's Valentine's Day, not Broken Hearted's Day. " Reynard suddenly ask the moment I sat with them.

I just laughed with his reaction.

" Yeah, I know. But look at your customers, they're all singles, if not, they're broken hearted. " I reasoned out.

" I don't care. Your mixes just ruined my valentines."

His valentino then coax him that made him smile. Are these two trying to make me jealous? Oh, well. Being single is not a bad thing. After all, it's the reason why I left.

" Don't worry babe, I'll make it up to you." Lorenzo said in a very seductive voice. These two are giving me goosebumps.

" Really? How come? You're a bartender not a Dj. " Rey teases.

Lorenzo then flashed a seductive smile. " I'm not just a bartender, you'll know it when I pin you in our bed. " He said that almost choke me.

" Get a room!" I said with disgust and the Two just laugh.

" It's your fault."

" Don't worry, Edward will definitely—"

Our jaw literally dropped when we heard Edward's mix. It's a remix of I knew you were trouble and We are never getting back together by Taylor Swift. Woah!

The customers are all cheering and getting wilder. I can't help but to laugh so hard. Wow! Just WOW! I can't believe this! We're really doomed. Even Lorenzo is laughing his ass out.

I grab my phone and took a snap of Reynard's priceless expression.

" You two.... We're gonna have a long talk. "

An hour later, we found ourselves in the hallway near the fire exit. Even now, I still can't stop laughing. Edward's just leaning on the wall, but his smirks hiding under his hood won't escape from my vigilant eyes.

" I'll hire another Dj for the next two weeks to replace the two of you. I don't want to see your faces in those weeks. " He seriously said and turn his back.

" B-but, Lorenzo said that...hahah...he will....pfft..make it up to you...hahaha!" Reynard didn't look back and just kept walking.

Oh my gosh! Why am I still laughing after being suspended for two weeks? Gosh! I can't help it. After few more minutes of laughing, it finally stopped.

I stand up and was about to go walk when I noticed that Edward is still leaning on the wall looking at me.

" What? " I asked that made him shift his gaze to another direction. He's acting weird.

"Let's go, we're banned here for two weeks. " I said and he did followed.

I took my mask off and placed it in my pocket before anyone mistaken me for something.

The streets are full of heart shaped balloons and other decorations. There are lots of red lights and vendors selling gifts, flowers, and chocolates.

I was taken back when he suddenly puts his jacket on me.

" W-what are you doing? " I suddenly asked. Oh, shot! Why did I stutter?!

" They're all looking at you. " He then pointed the direction where lots of men are looking at me in a nasty way.

These jerks! One of them even licked his lips while looking at me. I wanna kick his balls right now.

My eyes widened when I saw Edward approaching those guys. Then suddenly, those nasty guys bowed and we're asking for forgiveness.

" What did you do? " I ask him when he came back after dealing with those guys.

" Nothing. " He simply said.

" Okay. " I just shrugged my shoulders.

He's always wearing a jacket whether he's playing or not. But now that he's not wearing one, I can see how well-built his body is.

I was caugth off-guard when caugth me looking at his body. Damn it! It's so embarrassing. I saw how his lips curved into a smirk. Oh my gosh! Can I just bury myself?

While walking, lots of girls stopped at look at him. They even giggle and act cute. Eww!

He suddenly stop then looked at me.

"Don't you think we should celebrate too? " He suddenly ask.

" Celebrate what? "

" Valentines. "

He then pulled me and we entered a restaurant. It's really vanlentines here. There are rose petals scattered on the floor and everything is painted with red. The workers were even dressed as cupid. This whole place is so romantic.

We sat on a table where the staff led us to, then hand us the menu. Since we're both done eating dinner, we just ordered some deserts.

I have my strawberry ice cream, which was their specialty for tonight's occasion. While Edward just ordered wine. The ice cream is so yummy!

" Do you have a boyfriend? " He suddenly ask that made me laugh.

" Boyfriend? No, I don't. What about you? Where's your wife? "

" I don't have any. Do I really look that old? " He asked and rests his drink on the table.

" Oh, no! I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. You look fine. It's just that, guys on your age are starting to get married. So I thought you're married. "

Since when did I become insensitive? He seems offended. What should I do? But what did I just heard, he's not married?

I was surprised when he suddenly chuckled. I've never seen this side of him before. He's always serious and talk less. He's the type of person who effortlessly end a conversation with just a single word.

He's not the type of guy who talks too much. Which I find quite attractive about him. He always have his headphones with him. Which makes him appear cooler.

" Guys on my age? You mean most guys get married when they're aged 22?"

" No. Not 22— Does this means you're just 22?" I asked and he just nod. " B-but..they say you're old and they want some young DJs that's why they're firing you. So I thought you were 30 or older. "

" They're just telling that as an excuse, but the real reason is my attitude. What makes you think that I'm 30?"

" Actually, I don't really think you're 30. Your face? You're drop dead gorgeous that when I first met you, I thought you're a model. And now that you're not wearing any jacket, if I were to decide, I'll definitely put you on the front page. " I said that made us both laugh.

Never in my life did I imagined, that something like this would happen. You know, Edward and I having a comfortable conversation. And I admit, it feels good.

I continue eating my ice cream when suddenly, the next music played was Lover. Then couples started to dance.

The first couple that caught my attention was the couple maybe in their 80's. They're slowly dancing and just comfortably feeling each other. The old lady's eyes were closed, while the old man is staring at his wife with so much love in his eyes.

I suddenly imagined life with someone I'm willing to spend eternity with. Will our love last long like these old couples? Or what if I didn't ran away? What would happen if I stayed and accepted the man that my uncle assigned to be my fiancé? Will there be any form of love between us? Will we end up breaking the promise we made?

Whenever I imagine myself being in love and the things that I want to do when I'm in love, those were the things that I think, is almost impossible.

We'll be inseparable. I know very well that fairytales don't exist, but I want that guy to make all those tales possible. I want him to make me believe in all those impossible things again.

I want him to make me feel Gravity.

" Can I have this dance? " I look up to the man who just asked me.

It's Edward. His right hand is in front of me while the other is on his back. His almond eyes are like looking deeply into my soul and his smile are giving me assurance that I'll never regret letting him go further.

Without uttering any word, I took his hand. He place them around his neck and his hands around my waist. While dancing, he never looked at anything but my eyes.

~ You're my, my, my, my Lover.~

It's already 2 in the morning when I got home. I told him that don't need to send me, but he insisted. When I got home, my drunk room mate greeted me with her snore. She didn't listen when I told her not to drink much, but I'm glad that she got home safe.

We have separate rooms and I don't know why she crash on my bed. Maybe she's too drunk or maybe she just feel like sleeping with me again. Tsk. This girl...

I lie down when she suddenly rolled to my side then hugged me. I hug her back and close my eyes to sleep.

I woke up with the ringing sound of my alarm. When I noticed our position, I laughed so hard that even woke Jenny up.

I was hugging her feet and mine were on her face. I felt some wet feeling in it and turns out it was her saliva. Gross.

She turn her face right and almost kissed me feet. She screamed in disgust, while I, can't stop myself from laughing.

"MIZZY!!!"

She started throwing pillows on me that I catches and throws back at her. Until feathers are all over the room. We both end up laughing our ass out.

It's saturday today so we don't need to panic looking for our shoes, uniforms, socks, or our wallets.

We ate egg, bacon, and banana for breakfast. After breakfast, we both sat on the sofa and played our favorite video game. Most of the times, of course I win.

I have my master's degree in computer science and bachelor's in software engineering. I was actually planning to have my master's degree in it, but that's when my sudden engagement with this unknown guy came.

Jenny is graduate in business management. She's actually business minded and plans to help her parents manage their business only to find out that she's been arranged to marry an old man for business purposes. I know, her parents are idiots. So like me, Jenny left.

I smirked when I see her losing. She's unaware that I was the one who made this game. We're the only ones who's playing this game, I never did expose this publicly, but Jen is too busy to notice that.

" Urgh! I lost again!" She acts like a kid throwing tantrums. I was surprised when she looked at me viciously.

" What? " I ask and grabbed the throw pillow for defense. Her stares are so dangerous.

"One more round." She fiercely said. I wonder how would she react if she finds out that I'm the one who made this game.

" Urgh! One more round! "

" Again! "

" Last round! "

" Another! "

We've been playing for more than two hours and everytime she loses, she'll annoyingly request for another round. We're seriously playing when her phone rang. Gosh! I'll definitely treat this caller for saving me.

I was surprised when she hand me the phone.

" What?"

" It's the gay in the bar." She casually said, loud enough for Rey to hear. Tsk!

" What's up, Rey? I thought you're mad?" I teases him.

" Come here as fast as you can!"
