Playing With Destiny

Chapter Nine

[Keliche Shizamme Sandoval's Point of View]

I’m happy that I’ll have a long weekend. After we finished our food, we decided to go back in the company because we need to say farewell to our co-trainees, well, I don’t really have friends inside the company so I wouldn’t say much. Actually, I just wanted to curse Trixie and her powepuff girls since I hate them to death or maybe I’ll rip the unidentified human being’s head? I really don’t know, maybe I’ll just stay silent.

When we reach our floor, we decided to go to our cubicle first and get our things before speaking in front like some kind of i***t. Joke.

“Guys, you need to listen to the both of them because they are the new perfumers of our company.” Mr. Frank said making the crowd go wild and crazy while some are glaring at me, insecurity really sucks.

“Thank you for being with me for the past few days. I’m thankful that you made my life in peace.” I said before bowing my head as a sign of respect in front of them, most of them clapped and started cheering my name but I don’t mind what the others did. Probably cursing me to death.

“Hello guys, thank you for being there for me. Sorry bidding goodbye this early but still, we’re working in the same company and I hope that you’ll never forget me, Khyzrr is the name!” He said earning lots of cheers because he’s the ‘lover boy’ of this company. With his looks? No doubt that every woman in the company likes him, except for me.

After bidding goodbyes, Khyzrr and I decided to just go home and leave them like that since we have nothing else to say. I won’t cry, I barely know them. Duh.

“Where do you want to go? It’s still early.” He asked while where on his car, well, I’m going to bore myself inside the apartment but I don’t know where to go. Before I can even answer Khyzrr’s question, I just saw someone holding a kid while they are walking inside the company building. What the heck are they doing here? They want to pester my peaceful life again? They want to make my life a living hell again?

“I want…I want to go to a bar.” I answered while looking at him, his jaw dropped when he heard what I said. It’s been a while since I last tasted liquor and I badly need it now.

“Are you sure?” He asked me so I nodded, I looked at the place where I last saw them. It’s been a while, and I don’t care. They created the scariest nightmare I never thought I would have.

Khyzrr started driving, while me, I just stared at the window and looked outside. I heard he’s doing something and he turned the radio on. I remember what happened a while ago, I was dumbfounded when I heard that song played on the radio.

“Is it okay if I ask you why do you want to go at the bar?” He asked me but I stayed silent, maybe I’ll just get drunk first before telling him what’s happening to me. I never thought that I would trust this guy easily but I just need someone to accompany me when I’m having a bad day. Unfortunately, it’s him.

We just traveled in silence, and after a few minutes we are already in a parking lot of some kind of bar, well, being the most excited person. I immediately went out of the car and walked towards the bar’s entrance where two masculine man blocked my way. They are both bouncers, I assume.

“Hey, I’m a customer!” I shouted at them but they are still blocking my way and it seems like they have no plans on stepping aside so I just stomped my feet on the ground as I wait for Khyzrr.

After a few minutes, I saw him walking towards my direction while talking to someone on the phone. Maybe he’s talking to someone who is important to him because he looked so jolly upon looking at his facial expression.

“At last, you’re here. They are blocking my way!” I whined like a kid in front of him and the bouncers. He just laughed and smiled at the bouncers.

“I talk to Green, he already knew that I am here. I’ll rent the VIP room and don’t make someone enter there unless I say so.” He told the bouncers before he dragged me inside. Well, I have to admit that the interior of the bar is quite good, well, it’s dark themed and I bet it’s beautiful at night since no one else is here, just a few staffs.

“Miss, bring us one bucket of beer upstairs and also a bucket of chicken wings. Sorry for interrupting you at this hour, I’ll just give you a big tip later.” Khyzrr told the girl, she nodded before Khyzrr started dragging me again.

“Stop dragging me!” I shouted at him but he didn’t listen not until we stopped at a door with a placard that says, ‘VIP Section’. Well, he even put his name on it, ‘Khyzrr Khryss Alejandro, don’t disturb’ using a marker and a white board that is already placed at the door. After that, we entered inside the room, I felt the cool breeze coming from the air condition. The room has a videoke where I can sing later even though I don’t really have a great voice, I know Khyzrr wouldn’t mind. I just want to have fun and drink!

“This is pretty good, but why did they let us through when it doesn’t even open yet?” I asked him while he’s turning on the disco lights to give us a real bar ambiance.

“The owner of the bar is a friend of mine; I gave him a call a while ago since you looked like you desperately need a beer.” He answered before sitting at the sofa and extending one of his hand at me, I just rolled my eyes before sitting to the sofa adjacent to him.

“You’re really cruel, aren’t you? I even grant your wish; can you just be nice to me even just for a day?” He asked me so I shrugged before sitting beside him since he granted my wish today, well, he’s a kind human being and I’m cruel, I know.

“So, is it okay if I ordered beer?” He asked me again, well, beer isn’t my type of liquor but since it’s his treat to me, I just nodded and fished out my phone from my bag. I texted Alana that I will be coming home late.

Minutes later, our order arrived. The bucket of chicken wings is so mouthwatering and I really can’t wait to taste it. They even gave us some spicy oil or something? Well, I kind of like spicy foods but my tongue doesn’t cooperate.

“Sir, Mr. Santiago said that he’ll come here later.” The girl said before leaving us alone in the room, being more excited than him. I immediately get a bottle of beer and opened it using the opener. I gulp some before eating a chicken wing, when I looked at Khyzrr, he’s just busy typing something on his phone.

“You won’t drink?” I asked him before drinking again, I just saw him shrugging while he’s still busy, maybe it’s business so I didn’t mind him and I just continue drinking. I just needed to forget them for a while, I just want to vanish because of them. Why would they go to the company where I am working? Do they want to ruin my life again like what they did before?

When I was about to cry, I looked at Khyzrr who is now looking at me like his watching my every move. He’s so handsome like a Greek God and, geez, maybe the alcohol is affecting my system already but I think even if I’m not tipsy, he’s still handsome in my eyes. Well, that’s a secret.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked him before drinking again, the beer taste nothing, it tastes like water, no effect on me. The chicken wings tasted heaven inside my mouth, and I didn’t bother to try putting some chili because my tongue might cry in pain.

“What is really your problem? You look like you’re about to cry.” He asked me and I think because of the alcohol, I nodded before the tears began to flow from my eyes.

“They ruined my life, and I think they will ruin it again. I’m not even whole right now, and they are starting to break it even more.” I started while the tears can’t stop flowing like a river stream in my eyes. Why am I being like this in a not so complete stranger?

“What happened?” He asked while he’s calming my system because he’s brushing his hand on my back. With the way he did that, I’m starting to feel that I’m safe. Should I trust this man? What if he’ll break me too like what they did to me? What if he’ll throw me away too like a trash? I have many questions in my mind and I don’t know where and when to start answering them. But right now, all I know is that I felt safe.

“Do you want to know my story?” I asked while looking at him straightly in the eyes, his longing and angelic eyes are staring at me. He needed answers and that’s what I will give to him.
