MARRY ME!!!

~Nikolaus~

My gaze landed on an amber looking eyes. I could feel her shock maybe, or curiousity. She seems so innocent for this bar and the things to come.

"So are you proposing that I take action then?" I ask the person opposite me, my anger flickering like traffic light ready to fuse my opponent.

" N....no Sir. it wasn't intentional" his shaky voice filled my ear . I winced, controlling myself. I want to act but her image of shock flooded in. She might have heard— ruthlessness maybe.

" I will take care of it" he reassured as he calmed his nerves down, taking off. I relax breathing whatever toxicity that filled the air. " Would you like a lady for the night?" The bar manager asks, one of the few audacity I had as a friend.

" No" I said waving it off. " You can't keep holding on to the past Nik" he says persuading me.

" Hmm.... The past?".

" Yes.... you can—"

" Wish for death?" I said gritting my teeth, my breath unsteady yet calm. I looked at him with my ever fiercy eyes. He knew better than to continue.

" No Nik, C'mon... Was just looking out for you man don't be scary gosh" he replies as he took his drinks somewhere else. I scoffed. I wasn't that scary was I? I asked myself.

I lifted my eye to look at her for a while but she was no where to be found—"Scared squirrel" I say.

" Hey Mister" I heard a female soothing voice. The one that could calm my nerves. I raised my head just to see the amber looking lady. Her eyes carries warmth, one that I long for, a nerve relaxing sight.

" Hmm" I groaned sending her away immediately. Her face reminding me of her or is she?—.

" Can I sit?" she asks clearly unmoved by my actions—How daring. She sits without my permission.

" I see you're less busy and without anybody to accompany you so you'll be needing me" she says. Her remark made me raise my eyebrows in question.

" Excuse me?". I chuckled a bit.

She didn't listen to me and pours out the liquor into her glass and mine, handing it over as she gulps down hers in one go. I look at her shocked, trying to grasp her intent.

She squeezes her face which tells that she wasn't a drunkard." You aren't good with liquor so why are you forcing yourself?" I ask as I sipped mine bit by bit.

" I need a lot of courage to do whatever I am to do" she says cleaning her lips with the back of her palm. I raise my brows again. Seems she has a knack for making me surprised.

" What is it that you want to ask about?" I ask enjoying her company. I could feel Kelvin's gaze at me, his questioning look. I couldn't care less.

" Whatever.....let's get to know each other first. What's your name? Mine's Aria Monroe" she says. From her question I knew she wasn't aware of who I was. The hitch in her breath and the faint hum music at the background making her look like a million goddess. She stares at me, her gaze as intoxicating as the liquor I held making my heart skip a bit.

" I'm Nikolaus Blackwood by name"

" That's great. Y..you're a big shot here right?"

" Is this your first time here?" I ask.

" Yes"

" I see " I reply as i sip again. " What brought you here?" I added.

" I'm not gonna lie" she says her eyes turned sad for a brief moment but I noticed it.

" I'm in need of money for my mother's surgery and.......and I was told there was a big shot here that I could satisfy".

" Satisfy?" My eyes burned red immediately as I ask, for some unknown reason I was so concerned and angry at her speech. I couldn't explain how I felt but I knew at once that I was drawn to her from the very moment I noticed her.

" Yeah but I can't do that can I?" she sobs. Her tears trickling down her face. It broke me but I continue to listen, I mask my concern with a straight face.

" I.....I just need a while to think. Everything is so overwhelming".

" What makes you think I'm that guy?"

" I don't think you'll hurt me" at this statement I stood up and left not wanting to hear her pleas. I was so drawn to her and might not be able to hold myself anymore. I wanted to kiss her so bad—Whats wrong with me?.

" Mister wait" She says tailing behind me. I moved faster but steadily away from the crowd, away from the noise.

" You should stop following me little squirrel, it's dangerous". I warned.

" I didn't say you should help me. I.... I was just looking for someone who could hear my pain that's all".

I turned as I stare at her, My gaze brushing through her smooth and milky skin. Her dress wasn't even helping matter as I could see her cleavage. I swallowed hard as I held the urge.

" But you said satisfy right?".

" That's just a little advice from my crazy friend. She wants me to satisfy a man and in exchange get the money but I can't just do it".

" And you thought I was less dangerous?"

" Yeah I guess so".

" Okay, I would help you with whatever you want but how would you satisfy me?".

" Oh! that's pretty easy". it was at this moment I knew she really didn't know what she signed up for. " Pretty easy?" I murmured. " Okay go on" I said not interrupting her.

" Just a little peck here and there and I'll get the money". she says.

I was totally dumfounded but before I could react her lips clocked unto mine. The faint hint of liquor and the scent of her shampoo filled my nostrils. The kiss came quietly—No warning just peace like coming home then after a while she pulled back.

" Marry me" I say with all seriousness.
