My love is an ice block

Drunk

Gramps wouldn't let me go to the bus station by myself so he offered to see me off. An offer I couldn't reject given the fact that I knew how tired he was but you can't argue with this man. He drove with care and gentleness just as he handled his work, his words and his wife.

Marriage was a scary idea but if I were to marry someone like gramps then it might not be as scary as I imagine.

"Tessah, you're already 25. Don't you think it's time you settled down and got married?"

Here we go again. I thought to myself

I flattened my lips as I thought of what to say.

"Gramps, I have thought about that but... I'm too busy with work for now"

"Tessa, you're a lady. You need to be married at a young age or do you have plans on marrying when you'd be considered a left over with minimal changes of getting married?" His expression hardened.

"I'm not even up to the Chinese beauty standards as you know, so I'm not in a hurry to be someone's wife" Avoiding eye contact with gramps.

Han Gongjun parked the car on their arrival but on trying the door, it was locked. tried again, it was still locked before letting out a sigh cause I knew someone still had a lot to say.

"I have arranged for you to meet up with the son of a friend of mine. I'll let you know the exact date and location for your meet up before then. if you do not show up, then... we'll have a problem" The doors were unlocked to let me out. There was really no way out of this.

****

"Where is it?" turning her closet upside down in search for a particular dress.

"Where is it, urgh!" getting frustrated already. The girls were already around the corner and she had lied to them saying she was already dressed and had been waiting for them. said by someone who was still in a towel searching her closet.

"Ah, found you" she pulled out her black tank bodycon. She has arranged everything for today but she somehow messed her room. Her hips were very much highlighted in the dress.

A text notification dinged into her phone.

'GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE'

Mei wasn't the patient type but Tessah had to do a little cleaning before hopping into the vehicle.

"The lady who carries a pear everywhere she goes"

"Thanks for noticing Rong La" with a sarcastic tone.

"You're welcome" Rong la said as her hands went forward to poking Tessah's breast.

"She wore a bra today, Mei" She said excitedly.

"My God, Rong La, I wear a bra most of the times when I go out"

"... Yeah, that's right." followed with a cricket laugh.

"I still wonder how amongst us here, you turned out to be the one closest to being married. Though you reason like a fish and act very lesbian like around Tess" this sentence made Tessah and the one being roasted laugh out loud.

"Mei, you don't have to worry about me because he loves my way of reasoning and I'm not a lesbian. I love him and his d**k too much to be bi"

"OMG, some respect for the single committee please"

"For real" Mei said with a loud sigh.

"Mei, it's you who has decided not to date" Rong La said.

"That's not the case guys"

Then, what is?" the girls chuckled loud.

"Destination ahead, asses out of my car"

"Johnny's car" Rong La said as she closed the car doors laughing while entering club Vegas.

Wen Mei, age 27. She was more than a friend to Tessah, a sister, considering all they had been through together. Their relationship began in America where they met. She was her savior helping Tessah get to China. They had lied to be sisters and adults.Mei was older than Tessah by 2 years.

she was not the type to date guys but loved to taste the good ones who brought lots to the table as she could easily charm them with her looks. She was the mama bear of the group and a no nonsense lady who would beat you up if you messed with her.

The club was filled with hot air as the people danced like crazy to the music. The party lights and the disco lights could make one go blind but the lights didn't get to some corners giving some people the opportunity to do adults stuff. The club had 2 floors, the ground floor which had the bar and the DJ making it so crowded. Upstairs had the VIP rooms on the right and a dance floor.

"Let's go up?" I suggested.

"Yeah" they all agreed.

The corridor leading to the VIP rooms were dark and a hunky guy guarded the entrance.

Vegas was owned by an English man so the DJ, depending on the request of the day would play English playlist and today seemed to be an English playlist, pop to be precised Playing one of Tessah's favorite, Britney Spears's I'm a slave.

***

Karl sat with arms crossed and stared at his uncle who had forced him to come along with him because he didn't want to be alone in the VIP room but here he was with 2 additional persons who kept him entertained. He had work to do but he fell for his uncle's bluffing instead.

"This is my nephew, a cyber security specialist"

"Nice to meet you" Karl said coldly.

One of the men present was a foreigner and was quite interested in his field of profession but before he could say anything, Wong Lewis jumped in.

"He's off work today so you guys could meet up during the week for that"

"..."

Karl left the room without his coat and stood at the corridor which faced the dance floor. He had intensions of leaving without his coat so his uncle won't notice early before he even went far but his attention was drawn to a cheer up front.

"Go girl, go girl"

It was indeed an interesting sight as he had noticed that the person putting on a show was someone he knew too well which got him studying all her movement and didn't help but notice she was a good dancer. But she stopped when everyone focused on her and ran downstairs to the bar followed by her friends. He moved ahead where he could get a perfect view, observing how she and her friends drank and laughed though Mei had tried to warn Tessah not to drink too much as she was a light drinker. Guys kept coming, offering to buy drinks for them.

Tessa would smile and say no with a gentle smile, Rong La would groom her hair to the back of her ear making her engagement ring visible while Mei would flirt with the guys and when they bought her drinks, she'd brush them off smoothly. Mei and Rong La were on their 3rd shot while Tessah was on her second and her cheeks already flushed pink.

"So who are we looking at?" Wong Lewis had a bright smile as he frantically searched for the one who got his nephew's interest.

"..." Karl's gaze remained on Tessah.

"You got a chick in sight?"

"Do u need my help with something, uncle?"

"No, I came to check if you had escaped or not" Lewis's eyes widen when he found who Karl had been looking at.

"Oh! Well that's a surprise...Tessah Miller. Your secretary is hot" His smile immediately faded when he met Karl staring at him before turning back.

"I was just saying Karl, nothing deep. I was talking based on my observations"

"You know what? I'll just leave you here" Lewis went back to the VIP room.
