TWO- RUINED MOMENT

HER POV

She has already finished a few bottles of alcohol. She is also comfortable drowning herself in alcohol because she is with her friends and they are in a private room here at the bar. There is no disturbance in their fun and frolic.

"Whoah... whoah.. party....party," she said loudly while dancing on the dance floor.

There are only ten of them in the room. Their friends are called the Magic Ten because they are inseparable. Where one is, all are there. Pack one, pack all, so to speak.

They all have the same traits. They are stubborn, combative, and love bar hopping. Although stubborn and rebellious, they also have dreams in life. They only want to be happy and understood by the people they love. Among her magic ten friends are Serenity, Integrity, Honesty, Modesty, Brevity, Charity, Nativity, Positivity, Congeniality and she is Felicity. Each of their names has good manners. But this contradicts their true character because at first glance, one can tell that their manners are not good.

They are mistaken for being spoiled, snob girls, vicious and only know how to beautify themselves in life. No men can get close to them because they immediately block and scold them.

They all have no boyfriends and that is their vow to each other that they will not have a boyfriend until they finish school. Yes, they are vicious in making friends but they are smart in their studies.

People see them as social because they are not behind in trends and new fashion. All their friends belong to wealthy families. So it is not a problem for them to keep up with any fashion, whether it is in clothes or expensive restaurants and bars, they immediately go to make friends.

Her eyelids were heavy from drinking too much alcohol. Luckily, her alcohol tolerance was high. In the two years she had been drinking alcohol, she had gotten used to the taste of it, it just tasted like juice in her mouth.

"Jezzzzz girls let's go downstairs, there are a lot of handsome boys downstairs, we can catch some nice ones there, wanna bet? Just now, girls!" Serenity, the flirtatious one among the ten, invited them.

"No... no... no.. girls, don't, it's dangerous and let's avoid temptations gals, it's hard to get hurt, it's better here because we're safe even if we drink too much," she heard Modesty, the conservative one among their friends, say.

"What's that, it's boring here! Girls, just this once and we'll give Felicity a birthday present, maybe she'll find her true love here," Serenity said again.

"Tskkkk..you really are Serene, all you think about is flirting, just don't tempt Feliz, someone owns his heart," Honesty replied without any reservations when speaking.

"Don't talk about it, hon, I move on from him nah so girls let's move out and rock the dance floor downstairs," he shouted, looking tipsy but still trying to steady himself and walked out the door first.

"Yohoo! party party!" they shouted to their friends in the middle of the dance floor who also followed him.

He is the leader of the group because he formed their group. He is also often the one who bridges the gap between the friends. They have been together for almost two years since he first formed them when they were in their first year of college.

They met and were destined to meet, although they were taking different courses, they just realized that they were getting better with each other.

They probably had the same experiences with their families. In short, they came from a problematic family or maybe they were the blacksmiths in the family.

They find comfort in each other's presence, considering each other more than friends but a real family already.Aside from that, they both protect each others well being, peace and happiness.

"Whoah, I feel like as free as like a bird, jezzz..., it's so nice to be free girls...wooooo..!" Integrity shouted while performing her own dance moves.

Integrity is her free-spirited friend who just wants to have fun and doesn't care about the world. Although her parents are both lawyers, she took a course in Tourism because she said she wants to be a flight stewardess in the future.

"Oh my gosh! there are handsome girls, looks so yummy, shhhh... I'll come over, huh? I'm going to play tonight," Serenity said artfully as she went to the handsome man at the bar counter.

She just shook her head at Serenity's attitude. She only knows how to flirt but she hasn't given it to any man yet. Men here are called heart breakers.

She's playful with men because she first shows interest in the man. When she feels that the man is obsessed with her, she just leaves him. Doesn't she tell her friend why it hurts the man.

The dance floor is slowly filling up so people are already crowded. Their bodies are already colliding but they don't care.

She just wanted to have fun on her birthday and let go of her resentment towards the person she expected to come and make her feel better because she remembered that Franz had told her that he would be her escort when she made her debut.

This was the big reason why she chose to have a party at a bar on her birthday rather than an 18th debut party because no Franz had shown up for her in the past years. Even last month, her dad suggested that she have a cotelion party on her birthday but she refused.

Besides not having Franz to be her escort, she didn't feel like celebrating because her heart was sad. It was better to be with her friends because it gave her more meaning. She felt the urge to take charge of her friends' welfare.

She felt that the day that God had made for her to gather her friends so that they would not stray from the right path was becoming more and more meaningful. Yes, her life was lacking after Franz was gone, but her friends filled it. Being with them gave her a sense of belongingness and comfort.

She was just as surprised when someone seemed to touch her seat while she was dancing. She looked behind her only to find out a pair of beautiful gray eyes of a guy brightly smiling at her.

Instead of being angry, her eyes seemed to speak as they responded to his smile. Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, she pretended to entertain the man's introduction to her. She accepted his soft hand for a handshake.

The next thing she knew, they were both dancing to the beat of the music on the dance floor. Their bodies were almost touching, swaying and dancing.

She gradually felt a slightly strange sensation as the man's hand caressed and rubbed her back. This was her first time to be so close with a man she hardly knew well.

The daring man's hand slid down her hips, making a circling motion in her spine that made her hair stand on end and gave her a tingling sensation.

When the man tried to touch her on her seat, she felt her body fall to the floor, which made her dizzy and she immediately turned to see who had done it.

"Get your hands off what's my property, you bastard!" he heard the man's voice booming and echoing even though the music inside the bar was very loud.

He tried to recognize the man standing in front of him. He couldn't quite make out his face because the disco lights had suddenly dimmed and his face was covered by the hat he was wearing.

He turned back to the man lying on the floor. No one even helped him to stand up. He was about to try to pull his hand upright but the intrusive stranger had already violently dragged him out of the bar.
