Chapter 3

• Song: (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" — Aretha Franklin
• ………..
• I woke up with a slight headache and blearily stared blankly at the female figure in front of me. I knew right away it was Nuelle.
• "Elle." I mumbled.
• The sweet fragrance coming from her made me scrutinize her very well. She was putting on a blue jumpsuit and her blue barrel bag was on top of the bed.
• "Before I leave the house, I want to ask you a few questions."
• I shook my head at her to continue.
• "Why are you back suddenly?"
• Oofs, here we go.
• "He wasn't around when I came. Out on a trip."
• "That monster.." She snarled, then looked at me. "Why am I not convinced?" She asked immediately. I swallowed a big lump of spit and turned to the other side.
• I heard her stand up to her feet, "I won't push you too hard to tell me."
• I turned back to her.
• "Where are you going?" I asked.
• "Got a rich nigga and he asked me out for a drink…" I shake my head.
• "Are you going with me?" She asked.
• "Hell no." I coughed lightly and used my pillow to press down my head to the bed.
• "Suit yourself." I heard her mumble, just when she took steps towards the door, I turned.
• "Okay. I'm coming…" I blurted and a wide grin crept into her lip.
• ………..
• Aiden's pov.
• What do you mean you can't find her?
• Get the fuck out of my phone!
• I threw the phone across the room and it made a quick clash over the door.
• "Second phone broken. Nice one billionaire prince." Gavin said sarcastically.
• "Oh shut up. Why can't they find her? I want to find her." I have repeated the same lines since he came.
• "What has she done to you?Huh, perhaps falling in love." Asked Gavin.
• "Gavin. If you know, you won't stand here unconcerned." I told him and sat down on the cushion. I breathed out and ran my hands over my hair, mumbling something inaudible to myself. It was as if she disappeared all of a sudden.
• I felt a hand grab me softly, the hand was warm, I looked up, pleased to see that shining violet eyes pecking into me, she blinked and smiled heavenly…
• "Hey. Manny." Gavin shook my body and I found him looking at me, and then his ugly hands were placed on me.
• "You look lost…" He said.
• I quickly shoved his hands off me. "What're you doing? Yuck!" I fling my hands, and glared at him. "Don't you do touchy with me again…" I warned. He bursted out laughing, I was this time glaring at him.
• "You touched me, but you know what, let's go get a drink man." I rolled my eyes at him.
• "Maybe you might see her at the bar." He added and my eyes perked up.
• He scoffed, "She's the only language I understand now." I told him.
• ………..
• Kat's pov
• Barstar was filled to the brim today, it was really hard to find a seat. Some were drinking, some were dancing and some were doing both. And the music was so loud that at one time, I thought it was gonna block my eardrum. I suddenly felt it was a bad idea, I could have been sleeping lonely at the comfort of my bed.
• "Elle. This is a bad idea." I shouted so she could hear me against the loud tune playing in the background.
• "I know right. Just as we were at college. Remember, you wouldn't like to miss any of these parties in school."
• I've been a party type, and it was really fun back then but right now, i'm in no mood for parties.
• "Please cheer up, I am going to dance." She told me while trying to get up and I tucked her back to the seat.
• "Are you serious?This is not part of the deal." I whispered into her ear.
• "Join me if you can." She forcefully released the grip I had on her and walked herself towards the dance floor.
• "Bitch..." I cussed.
• A man walked himself to her seat. He grinned, showing his set of brown teeth and his breath was awful. I scrunched up my nose in disgust, grabbed my purse and started walking towards the door.
• I felt the evening breeze swept through me, making my hair blow up at my back. I wanted to shout out my pains to the world, my struggles, my life as a living hell...all to the world.
• "Enjoying your evening?" A male voice asked from behind. I turned and smiled at whoever asked me the question. Standing beside me, with his hands tucked in his pants, he breathed out.
• "You know, drinking wine is equivalent to this.." He said and I scoffed.
• "Perhaps, asking me out for a drink?" I asked.
• He smirked, "All the same."

• Finally walking into the bar with this man. We sat at the bar seat while a young looking bar guy attended to us.
• "Vermouth." I said. He smiled, then started mixing the drink.
• "What's your name, pretty?" He asked.
• "None of your business." I snapped at him. A wide grin went across his lips and he placed his hand on the counter, turning his form to my side.
• The bartender dropped the cocktail glass cup in front of me. I picked it up to my nostrils and inhaled. "Nice mixup." I mumbled and took a sip.
• "Feels good right?" I heard him ask and I shaked my head at him.
• "se siente bien." I replied to him in spanish.
• "Sangria please." He told the bar guy who walked away to mix his cocktail drink.
• "I didn't know you loved drinking." He said and I funnily looked at him. "Been drinking since highschool, what am I? Toddler?" I rasped.
• He quickly put his hands in the air, "No. It's fine. Damn good."
• "I like you." I scoffed...
• "Complete it, like to get under your pants." I said and he bursted out laughing.
• "No...I mean you, yeah you're damn sexy with that fucking hips and nice rounded bosom..but I really like you.."
