Chapter 1

The scent of freshly baked cookies filled the air, a familiar comfort that transported me back to a simpler time. I was 14, my heart pounding in my chest as I stood outside Theosher's bedroom door. He was my first love, the boy who had captured my heart with his goofy smile and kind eyes. I had a confession to make, one that had been brewing inside me for months. But as I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, fear gnawed at my insides. What if he didn't feel the same way? What if I was just a silly teenager with a crush?

“Aria! come back to reality, bítch!” agad akung napaigtad ng may sumigaw malapit sa tenga ko.

“Fvck you, bítch! what's wrong with you?!”hinimas himas ko yung tenga ko taena parang nabasag eardrums ko dun.

“I've been talking to you, but your mind is in another world, bítch. What are you thinking? Mga lalaki mo nanaman ba?”tanong nito habang nakataas-baba pa ang kilay.

Hindi ko siya pinansin bagkos ay kinuha ko nalang ang bag ko at naglakad na paalis.

I remembered him again. The first rejection in my life. My first love. How is he now? It's been five years since we last met and when I confessed my feelings for him. I miss him.

Agad akong umiling. “No, forget that man, Aria.”

“ Haha talking to yourself again? haha you're crazy. Wait wtf!! Is that the Valentino G aravani rockstud bag? Oh my god girl! Where did that come from? That price reached 100k oh my!” napairap ako dito. Is it her first time to see an expensive bag? This girl seems to be going crazy.

“ Ang OA mo girl! It was a gift from my daddy and mommy when they came home from London so yeah. You can buy something like this don't act like you can't afford it”

“ Nag iipon ako because I want to buy a car”

We are here at the mall. Inaya ko siyang mag cutting cuz why not? The discussion on econometrics is very boring.

Si daddy lang ang may gusto na kunin ko ang course na ito. I want to study psychology. I don't like business-business.

“I want to go home, Riley”

“What the f, Aria? Inaaya mo akung mag cutting at mag mall tapos ngayun ikaw pa yung unang uuwi?”

I looked at my watch “ It's 12pm na ”I look at her and smile. “ Let's go to the Onyx Lounge Bar tonight. Nanghihina ako wala akung malandi ”I looked at her again and laughed softly.

“ Kalandian talaga ” tinulak pa ako nito ng mahina kaya inirapan ko ito. " Oh siya kita nalang tayo mamaya. I'm going to visit my boyfriend at his condo haha aayain ko lang makipag chukchakan ”

“ Grosssss ”

Her name is Riley Alexander Reed, 20 years old, she's been my friend since grade 7, kasama ko sa lahat ng bagay kahit sa pag cutting sa mga class is boring ang discussion.

And I am Aria Kaitlyn Serrano 19 years old. I have black eyes and wavy hair.

I went straight to the parking lot and immediately got into my car and went home to my condo. This condo was a gift from my dad when I turned 18.

When I entered my room I immediately took off my clothes... I only do this when I'm alone. After that I lay down on my bed and sleep.

***

I'm already here outside the Onyx Lounge bar that Riley and I talked about, looking at the people entering the bar. I just wore a Bodycon Cut Out Halter Backless Ruched Mini dress. I chose the color red. And 2 inch heels.

I waited a few more minutes before I entered the bar because Riley had already messaged me that she was already inside. That little b***h.

I went upstairs because Riley said they were on the second floor.

There are so many people, that means I have a lot of men to flirt with tonight.

As soon as I saw Riley, one of my eyebrows was immediately raised. That's why she said "they" because her boyfriend was with her? This girl is so grrr.

“ Seriously?”she just laughed at me. There are also wines on our table. Agad kong ininom ang isang basong alak na sa tingin ko ay kay Riley.

I looked at the ground flour where many people were dancing. Watching them makes me want to get down and dance too.

A few minutes later, I drank quite a lot... so I said goodbye to Riley for a while, I'm just going down and dance.

I went to the dance floor and started moving my hips and dancing like there was no one around.

Suddenly, a hand landed on my waist, warm and firm. I turned to see who it was, I suddenly smiled when I saw who was holding my waist. A tall, dark-haired man with a mischievous grin stood in front of me, eyes sparkling with amusement, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He didn't say anything but his hand was just holding my waist while dancing.

While we were dancing, I couldn't stop smiling. The annoyance I had felt earlier towards Riley suddenly disappeared, replaced by a primal joy that flowed through my veins. The man's touch was gentle but possessive, he just looked into my eyes.

When the song ended, I planned to go back to where our table was. But I was shocked when the man I danced with earlier followed me. He smiled at me before he gave me his hand to shake hands.

“ Aethelred Moore, Red for short, my lady! ”I smiled before accepting his hand and shake hands.

“ Aria Kaitlyn Serrano. If you think my name is too long, you can call me babe if you want ”

“ Are you alone? if yes, you can join us, don't worry I will take care of you ”I just smiled at him and shook my head.

“ I'm with my friend and our table is on the second floor hmm do you want to join me? ”

“ Who would say no? Of course I will accompany you, just show me where your friend is ” I just smile at him.

Maybe I won't look for another man. Let me focus on this man first. He is very handsome, dude!

He leaned on me while holding my waist as we headed to our table. Riley and her boyfriend were flirting with each other when I got back.

“ Really? You are actually flirting in front of me ” Riley looked at me laughing. She also looked at the person next to me who was still holding my waist.

“ Red?”???

“ Alex is that you?”Do they know each other?

“Do you know each other?”

“ Yes, he's my cousin, bítch” Riley answer.

Wtf? Did I flirt with my bestfriend's cousin?

That's why Red stayed with us and talked to his cousin about something I didn't know. I thought I had hit the jackpot and would be able to bring Red home but it seems not. I took a deep breath and took a sip of the wine I had been holding.
