JARAK SEJUTA DETIK

"No Gemma, I have to stay sane for surgery tomorrow." I slipped my pumps off my feet making a mental note to get new ones, a breath of relief passed through my nostrils as my feet were released from the tight cage as we all call "shoes" to the cold floor of my apartment.

"Come on now, it's your wedding week, you should have taken a break from work." She whined, I looked up wondering why she's my best friend.

"Healing shouldn't stop because I'm getting married." I packed my hair into a bun, looking at my image on the mirror that's skillfully placed on the wall close to my study table.

"The world would be fine." She groaned I rolled my eyes walking over to get some wipes to clean off my makeup.

"Breast Augmentation Surgery takes a lot of focus, I'd be needing my rest." Placing the cold wipes on my face, turning to a pouting Gemma.

"But the girls are already at the club, for fuck sakes Loren it's Friday. This is your last outing with your girlfriends before being married."

Girlfriends?

"You mean your friends, I could care less about those girls." I only have one friend and that's Gem. My reply gained a frustrated sigh from Gem.

"Okay fine, but is it so bad that your best friend wants to hang out with you?" There it is, she always tries to guilt me into doing her will. I hated my self for saying it, but I did.

"Okay, fine." I rolled my eyes as soon as I spotted the excitement on her face.

"11, when it's 11 I'll leave," I said sternly, pulling my dress off.

"Okay, Fine. We are going to have so much fun." She squealed.

"I'm going to shower." I pulled my towel along, heading towards the bathroom.

"You still got a nice ass sis." She called out before I closed the door, making me smile.

She's crazy.

•••

"You are going to a club?" Javier looks at me in shock, I transferred my phone to my left hand before staring at Javier on the screen.

"Yeah, Gem says they are throwing me a stupid bachelorette." I looked ahead knowing Gemma would say something.

"Hey! I heard that." I laughed because she did as predicted.

"Hey, Gemma," Javier called out, I turned my phone to Gem so she'd have a better view of Javier.

"Hey, Javi." She waved before turning the car on. I placed the screen close to my face.

"Be careful, have your ring on at all times, they need to know you are taken." I looked at my fingers, holy shit! I must have left it in the bathroom.

"I got it right here with me." I lied, My best friend looked at my fingers and smirked at me knowingly.

I breathed out in relief, he didn't ask me to show him.

"Plus I'm going to be wearing a huge sash that says "the bride" you have nothing to worry about. " I joked, he lets out a laugh.

"Love you." He mutters.

"Love you too." I smiled before clicking the red button.

"I need to go get my ring." Placing my phone in my bag, before turning to Gem.

"Hell no, we are almost there." She argued pointing at the road ahead.

"It's all your fault." I glared insisting.

"Yeah, yeah, we are not going back." She completely shuts me off after that.

Stupid bachelorette.

••••

"The sash says "birdie"." I glared at the moron in front of me, irritated with the way she's chewing her gum.

"So?" I sighed, is she that stupid? This is why I don't hang with these girls.

"Well, the writing was supposed to be " bride" bri-deee." Emphasizing but she's not listening, rather she is  eye ogling a guy at the corner.

"Well, you are welcome." She waved, smiling at me before heading towards the guy's direction.

You have to be kidding me.

I turned to Gem, angering me more is her fake innocent smile.

"Come on, she was trying to do something nice." Her hands fly up the air dramatically.

Nice my foot.

"So you are telling me you purposely gave a girl with the intelligence of a 5 year old, my sash to design." I exclaimed, now it's my turn to throw my hands up dramatically.

"Can we just enjoy this night?" She muttered defeated. I took a quick glance at the club, mentally praising my best friend taste, it's exquisite and classy.

"Well, I'm already here." I rolled my eyes.

"That's the spirit." She puts her hand on my back leading me inside.

••••

I stared at the dancefloor where my best friend is showing off her dance skills, at least someone's enjoying this so-called party.

I stared at the Rolex Javier gifted me, hoping time would be fair on me so I can finally leave this hell hole. I sighed in frustration.

An hour more.

"A Martini please." I smiled, calling out to the bartender passing by.

"Make that two." A deep voice was heard right beside me, making me turn.

My heart racing as I set my eyes on a god literarily, I almost forgot how to breathe as I stared at his hypnotizing features, those blue eyes, I drowned just looking at it. His dark hair looks scattered as strands fall on his forehead, making him look so effortlessly cool, Lips so full making me gulp, imagining how soft they would be, my eyes trailed down to his jaw, so fucking structured. My lustful eyes settled on his muscular figure.

Holy shit!

I coughed awkwardly when I realized how long we both have been staring at each other, the bartender drops the martinis on the table.

"I could have bought you a drink but you look like you could buy the club." He smirked, I soon realized he had dimples.

Why so perfect?

"Wow! An observer. Well done, you probably observed I don't want to be having this conversation." Happy that I gained my voice because his features rendered me speechless.

"Oh I did, but according to my observations if you give me 20 minutes, you wouldn't want me leaving." I have to give it to him, he is smooth, having his way with words.

I should have worn my ring.

"My time is money," I muttered sternly.

"So is mine, if you'd like we could waste money together." He winked at me, this action sends a shiver down my spine.

Bad Loren, bad Loren.

I turned to Gemma, who's indicating I should join her on the dance floor.

Hell no.

I looked at my wristwatch again, even though I know full well that there's still time left, besides won't be bad if I let him speak, I'd probably key in my relationship status, so he'd realize I'm off the market.

"Okay, fine 15 minutes," I said reducing the time, this gained a dimpled smirk.

Holy water.

••••

I bit my cheeks trying so hard not to laugh until I finally gave up, letting out a laugh.

"We both know that can never happen," I said in between my laughter.

"You are right, it didn't, but it did get you to give that angelic smile." I gulped at his compliment.

"And look, you spent an hour with me." He smirked. What am I doing? I'm flirting with another man, my wedding is in no time and I'm entertaining this.

I'm stupid.

"I got to go use the restroom" I nervously said, picking up my bag.

"Good call." He smiled, his smile is so alluring and hypnotizing.

I need to get out of here ASAP.

••••

After prepping and scolding myself, I decided to go get Gem and go home.

Don't want to stay here anymore.

I put my arm on the cold knob, twisting it before finally walking out. As soon as I closed the door, I felt my entire body being pushed to the wall, locked with his.

It's that guy.

My heart hammering realizing our close proximity, my eyes traveled down his lips which he was biting on.

Defiantly soft.

This is so wrong, I attempted to wiggle out of his grasp, but he swiftly smashes his soft lips on mine, aggressively and forcefully. I weakly tried to make him stop before I finally melted into his arms.

I grabbed his shirt wanting to taste him, our lips moving in sync, our tongues finally met the taste of Martini on his tongue, savoring every moment.

His hands made its way up my thighs, making me gasp to reality, Javier's face popping into my mind.

What am I doing?

"Stop?" I attempted to push the guy away.

"So fucking beautiful?" He grunted placing wet kisses on my neck.

"I said stop!" I yelled, pushing him away, I could see the lust in his eyes, I quickly picked up my bag that had fallen earlier, making my exit without looking back.

I left the club not bothering to inform Gemma. Luckily, I found a cab, I entered quickly realizing the guy from the bar was behind me.

I sank into the seat as the events played on my mind, I cheated on the most amazing person ever and I loved every moment.

I wanted more.
