Chapter 2: Proposal

Her head instantly whipped to her side where the voice came from, “Excuse me? Are you talking to me?” she queried.

She squinted her eyes to see his face but the lights from the dance floor were making her head hurt even more.

Grunting, she turned back to the bartender, who was just standing there and did not give her another glass.

“Can you please give me more glasses? I’m not drunk yet,” she said, politely.

“Don’t. She’s obviously drunk already,” the guy interfered again.

Sabrina’s head snapped back to the guy who was sitting next to her, “Who are you?” She blurted out while throwing him a sharp look.

The guy’s voice was not familiar to her so she assumed he was a complete stranger.

“I don’t know you, Mister, so please mind your own business,” she added, then looked back at the bartender.

She was about to demand to give her order when the bartender nodded after looking at the guy beside her and then made her drinks again. But since she was already drunk, she was oblivious of the silent conversation between the two and just innocently watched the bartender making her drink.

He then gave her two glasses which she immediately consumed in seconds and asked for more again.

Meanwhile, the guy beside her did not say anything again and just sat there silently while she kept drinking until her head became heavy and could not sit straight anymore.

“Don’t give her any more drinks, she’s already wasted,” she heard the guy stated.

She tried to sit up properly but her head was spinning so much. Shutting her eyes, rested her head back again on the counter and muttered, “I’m not yet drunk, I'm just dizzy but I can still remember what happened..”

Slowly, she tried to open her eyes and squinted it towards the guy who was sitting beside her.

“Do you want to know what happened?” She giggled.

It was not funny but she cannot stop chuckling. She was so stupid for trusting Anthon and gave up everything for him only to get dumped by him.

Releasing a loud sigh, her gaze went somewhere as she recalled what happened in Anthon’s new office.

“I’m so stupid, right?!” she chortled as she finished recounting the scene. “My dream proposal disappeared just like that,” she muttered.

Then a hot liquid fell down her cheeks. She tried to wipe it away but it seemed endless.

Chuckling, she looked at the guy again, “I don’t need a fancy ring and grand proposal.. Even if you’re empty handed.. just.. ask me and I.. will immediately say yes..”

Her lips stretched widely as she looked away and darted her gaze on the dance floor, “I want to dance,” she stated.

With a heavy head and unstable feet, she almost stumbled as she unceremoniously stood up. Fortunately, the guy's reflex was quick and was able to catch her before her face fell on the floor.

“Oh! My legs are heavy!” She giggled.

“I’ll take you home,” He finally spoke.

With heavy eyelids, she looked up and stared at the guy.

Their faces were just a few inches away from each other, hence, she almost kissed him when she moved her head.

Her heart skipped a beat as they stared at each other with eyes both wide open.

“Sorry,” the guy said, then helped her sit back on the high chair.

Sabrina was speechless.

Her eyes didn’t leave his face. It was as if her dizziness magically disappeared and her sight became clear as she stared at the most handsome man she had ever seen.

“What’s your name?” She inquired.

The guy seemed taken aback at her sudden question. He glanced at her but quickly averted his gaze before he replied.

“Gab,” he answered curtly.

The corner of Sabrina’s lips lifted upwards and a giggle escaped her lips once again.

“I’m Sab! Nice to meet you,” her eyes were sparkling as she enthusiastically extended her hand.

Gab just stood there and did not move. On the other hand, Sabrina did not wait for him. Immediately, she took his hand and shook it fervently.

“I like your face..” she said.

“What?”

Smiling like a fool, she pulled him back to his chair and rested her left cheek on the counter without taking her eyes off him.

“You’re so fvcking handsome. I’ve never seen anyone as handsome as you,” she boldly stated.

Gab’s lips parted. His eyes then darkened but Sabrina’s smile became wider and her eyes glistened in excitement.

Chuckling, she extended her hand once again to pinch his cheek.

“If I met you first before Anthon, we’re probably married and have six kids now..”

The guy did not respond, but he removed her hand away from his face.

Sabrina’s eyes narrowed as she could not see his expression due to the dim light. But her eyes turned into a moon shape when she felt him intertwining their hands.

“You’re just drunk..” he murmured.

Shutting her eyes, she shook her head, “I’m just being honest..” she snickered. “Too bad I fell in love with Anthon toooo soooon..” she said, dragging the last words.

“You should go home. It’s late,” he replied.

Then, he stood up but Sabrina quickly shook her head in response.

“I have a question,” her lips stretched widely as she opened her eyes and met his gaze. “Will you marry me?”
