Elena....
It's a week later and I've settled into work, and my cozy office, very well. As late evening approaches, I have finally done with the day's work and sighed out of relief.
"What a week! I can't wait to get the weekend started!"Just then Ms. Bellum comes into my office looking as beautiful as ever.
"Elena, wanna grab a drink after work?"
"Sure! But... I'm supposed to meet my friends tonight. Wanna join us?"
"Let's go to Creek's! My treat!" She said.
"Whoa! Creek's is quite an exclusive club. Are you... sure?"
"Of course! Come on, it'll be crazy fun!"
Ooooh! Who can say no to Creek's?! Linda and Merlin will definitely love this plan."Ok then, I'm In."
"Great! It'll be fun. Be at 10 pm."
As I reached home the first thing I did was taking a RelaXation Shower.
"What a week!" Finally got some free time. After chilling for some time,
I decided to get ready as it was 9 pm already! After 15 minutes I finally found a perfect dress I chose a red full length bodycon dress with a heart neckline and for hairs I simply kept opened and with a little bit of makeup I was ready!
"Oooo! I look Hot." That's definitely was the goal for today is!
At sharp 10 pm I reached Creek. As I was at the entrance "Elena are you trying to seduce me with your look? If you are, you're succeeding."
A sweet voice came from behind, It was Ms. Bellum.
"Thank you Ms. Bellum." "Hey Girls!" Merlin and Linda came, "Are you guys going to stay here or any planning of going in." Linda said laughing. Laughing we went inside.
We were talking, laughing and chilling. "Why don't we dance?"
Linda said to everyone. "Let's go girls!" As we all were dancing I thought about getting a drink, As I was walking to get a drink,
Suddenly, The soft clinking of cutlery and the hum of conversation filled the air. I took a few steps forward, scanning the room for a table. Suddenly, a familiar fragrance brushed past me — subtle yet unmistakable. It was a scent I knew well — fresh, warm, with a hint of musk— I turned instinctively toward the corner of the room, and there he was — the familiar figure.
"Oo! NO! Mr.Logan!" He was seated casually, half-turned, deep in conversation. I hadn’t expected to see him there, so I quickly ran towards the drink corner. I looked away, pretending to be occupied, flipping through the menu in my hands though I wasn’t reading a single word. As if drawn by some invisible thread, he glanced up and our eyes met. Just for a moment, the restaurant noise faded into silence. His gaze held mine steady, surprised, and I saw desire for me in his eyes. My heart skipped a beat. I quickly looked away, I couldn't look at him. I... don't want to look at him.
Right then, a drunk man bumps into me, and leers."You're so... sexy. Come home with me!" The drunk man said with his cheeky! tone.
"GET LOST, CREEP." Thankfully
Ms.Bellum came Or I would have cut him into pieces. He smirks at us and walks away. "He has Gutts! To do that."
In no time Linda and Merlin came to us and we chilled a bit!. But my gaze constantly was going back to Mr. Logan.
A Sudden Voice caught me off guard." "Ooooo, is that Logan Jackman? ELe, you're totally making googly eyes at him." It was Linda, I was about to reply but saw Mr.Logan tears his eyes away and walks to another club nearby. "Awwww, he's gone. Don't be sad, Ele." Merlin said giggling. A sinking feeling twisted in my chest.
"Why hadn’t he stayed?" or even acknowledged the moment we shared? I was just imagining it. For a second I thought there was something between us. All the eye contact, the familiarity of his scent, the spark of something unspoken. It meant nothing to him. I meant nothing to him. I was convincing myself that he was someone who might’ve at least found me a little interesting, a little attractive. But clearly, I was wrong. I wasn’t even worth a second glance. I sighed, pushing the thought away, But suddenly someone's voice came from outside. I don't know what clearly it was as the music was loud. I asked Linda, "Did you hear any sound of someone calling or something like that?"
"Babe I think you are very sad as your handsome crush Mr. Logan has gone!! As you're now imagining things now!!"
"Oo! Shut Up Linda!" They clearly had not heard anything I think Linda is right! It must be my hallucination. I then searched for Ms. Bellen but Ms. Bellen was nowhere to be found. I looked around scared and saw her dancing with a guy. I was relieved. But once again the voice came but this time more loud, definitely it was real! I think someone might need help! I quickly ran towards, outside but there was no one.
"AHHHHHHH!!!"
"What the hell? Someone just screamed!" It... came from that alley there.
I hurry into the alley and gasp.
What I saw next to me was HORRIFYING!! Mr.Logan was holding a man by the collar. OH GOD! Was Mr. Logan about to kill somebody??
