The Contracted Bride Of Alessandro

Serena searched through her channel purse for another pack of bubble gum, the one she was chewing melted in her mouth. She had spent two hours at the airport already, she missed her first flight and now had to wait for the next available flight which was scheduled to move in the next fifty minutes, the wait was unbearably boring, but it was worth it. All she could do now was read through the worn-out pages of the magazines at the airport till she was in the arms of the man she loved. Serena Donalds is a young, beautiful, talented and successful model, she is just 23 but she has managed to attain numerous amiable feats' in the modelling industry, it wasn't easy at all but she built herself from the ground up. Serena wasn't one to take flights and be all about the world, she only travelled when she had very important work, but today she was sitting impatiently at the airport because she wanted to surprise her boyfriend. In front of Serena were two boxes loaded to the brim with custom gifts she specially ordered for Dane, it was his birthday and nothing can beat a good surprise, the truth is he wasn't aware she was coming, they hadn't seen each other in a while so Serena thought it best to surprise the love of her life on his birthday. As the airport speakers announced Serena's flight she stood up and grinned so hard her lips almost touched her ears, she hadn't seen her man in two months and this was all she wanted. She happily alighted the plane, she had successfully arrived in Las Vegas from Glass Glow, she picked up her luggage and rolled the tyres towards the exit of the airport. As she approached the exit she saw a man in a suit holding a sign with her name boldly written on it, that was her taxi, now all she had to do was count the minutes till she was in Dane's arms. Dean lived on the 24th floor of his apartment, Serena had successfully dragged the boxes into the elevator, and she was shaking in excitement and full of joy as the numbers on the elevator gradually counted towards 24. 'Ding!' She couldn't hold back her happiness, it seemed she was going to burst any moment now, she squeaked happily, she entered the pin to his door and quietly entered his house. The whole place was empty and dark, no one was in sight, ' could he have gone out?' She asked herself, ' ' Of course not' Dean wasn't one the plan something without letting her know, she picked up her phone and checked his live location, it showed that he was in the house, she took off her shoes and advanced quietly into the room, she really wanted to surprise him more than anything thing today. Serena got to the door and twisted the knob open, the sour taste of the shocking reality before her eyes washed away the joy that had been building up in her system, she really wanted to scream but her voice failed her, it felt like a random aeroplane had taken a wrong turn and crashed right into her world, the beautiful utopian life she had built with Dean for two years, rolled down the hill and crashed into a bottomless pit like the silent tear drop that rolled down the baked expanse of her beautiful face. Her boyfriend was in bed with her best friend Amanda. She hadn't really noticed she was frozen at the door until Dean finally spoke up; "Holy crap! Serena how did you get here " Dean shrugged in a hurry trying to get his zipper to understand the situation he was in and just move upwards, he was staggering in one foot, without any form of balance he hit his table lamb and crashed into his dresser before he finally gained balance and ran towards Serena. Serena couldn't utter a single word, she just looked at Dean who was trying to fit into his pants and caught another glimpse of Amanda's face before she buried her head into the sheets, the sheets of shame. Her words failed her, but her legs didn't, she zoomed off. "wait, Serena! Please! , I can explain" Dean cried loudly, but Serena had taken to her heels. The evening breeze had a mind of its own, it was peaceful and calm, in sharp contrast with Serena's current state of mind, her hair flung itself in the rhythm of the wind, but her legs and her heart followed the beat of the pain her heart pumped throughout her body. She felt nauseous after running for so long, the pain in her stomach brought her to a halt and she stopped and threw up, hopefully, she emptied her stomach of this pain, and got rid of the sour taste in her mouth, as the flowing liquid finally stopped, she spat out the remnants in her mouth, she lifted her head, trying to reboot and calculate everything that had just happened, within 10 minutes her whole life had taken a full 360 turn, she wanted to surprise Dean but ended being surprised. After sobbing in the corner for three hours, Serena wiped her eyes and decided to follow the sound of loud music that washed out her screams from the corner where she sat and wept. Her legs were surprisingly the only part of her body that functioned properly now, she took another left turn and arrived in front of a club. She walked past the bouncer, and straight to the bar, she pulled one of the seats and signalled the bartender; "I'd like two shots of vodka please" Her voice was a bit louder than normal, the music from the background was very loud; the bartender served the shots and before he turned, Serena gulped the two shots of vodka, like a small glass of warm milk, "Two more" she ordered squeezing the lemons into her mouth, she was trying so hard to taste something other than the piquant taste of betrayal that came from the back of her throat. Again she gulped another two shots of vodka but this time she she squeezed her eyes and buried her head in her elbow over the table for a split second and called the bartender again "Two more please " "woah ma'am I think you should take it easy " the bartender was as concerned as he was shocked, if only he knew; "you don't know how strong the........" "The drink is the only thing keeping us sane right now, let her have it" a young man from Serena's side interrupted. He had been sitting there all along but Serena was in too much pain to notice. The vodka had already started to have its influence on her slowly, by the way she involuntarily shook her head she was going to be completely drunk in thirty minutes if she continued taking shots. "well thank you dear sir" She bowed facing the stranger and stretched out her hands for her drink "life is so shitty" the stranger screamed facing Serena directly, trying to start a conversation. Serena gulped down the two shots of vodka for the third time, three is charm right? This shot switched off a few of her senses right away, all she had now were her ears and eyes, and probably her legs. "you can say that again, shitty things always happen to unsuspecting people " she stammered, they stared at themselves for five minutes and in that five minutes the alcohol took total control "I love Capricorn, I really do" "Shhhhhh" Serena whispered, she moved her stool closer to his stool covering up the space between them, and she placed her index finger over his lips "I flew out here just because of you, I love you, Dean" "well I'm not Dean, I'm Alessandro, and I love you too " Alessandro laughed and moved his lips closer to Serena's lips and stole three, no four kisses. Serena mentally cursed herself for wanting his lips so badly, she wasn't in control of her actions now, she barely even knew him but they blended smoothly into the blue and red neon lights, it seemed as if they were moving but Serena was too knocked out to notice much.
