“What the heck just happened? I don’t know what to do with this goddamn car!” I’m so pissed right now that I want to punch my sister, who’s just laughing her ass out right now while we’re speaking over the phone.

“What the heck, Liana?!” she said in between of her laughter, I’m so pissed, yet my goddamn sister is laughing her ass out, what the hell?

“Don’t laugh at me, you bitch, I need help, what should I do? I don’t know how to change tires!” It’s hot, literally, it’s twelve o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m in the middle of a goddamn nowhere!

“Just call for someone who can do that job,” she was laughing again, what the heck? “Come on, Liana! You’re already grown up! I have to fix Caleb, it’s nearly one, just call me, k? love you! Take care, bitch!” she said then ended the call.

I looked at my phone in disbelief, that bitch! Is that really my sister? I stomp my feet out of so much annoyance, I hate it!

I just got this car when I moved out from my condo, and was planning to stay in my parent’s house, since the election is so near, and they asked me if I can move back to them, and I don’t have the heart to say no, I love my parents, and I missed them, besides I finished school and my masters it’s been a while since I saw them.

“Flat tires?” I was taken aback when I saw a man towering over me, but looking at my tires, I just nod, “Where’s your tools?” he asked

“Uh, uhm, at the back.” I said, he moved and opened the compartment of my car, and grab the tools and my spare tires, he worked so silent and quick, “That should be good.” He said while fixing my tools, he closed the compartment and hand me my car keys.

I’m not moving throughout, then our eyes met, it was so foreign, but so magical, when I saw his green eyes, it’s like piercing my soul, “You should drive back home, it’s getting dark.”

“Thank you.” The only thing that I said, he just nods, and went straight to his own car, I looked at my car, it was all fixed, that quick.

Wow, what was that?

                                      ---

“You know what, you will be considered an old hag, starting tonight.” I stopped sipping my champagne when I heard Lacy speaking.

“What?” My forehead creased, looking at her weirdly

“You’re twenty-seven yet you haven’t been laid?” She spatted.

My mouth fell dramatically, my brow creased upon hearing that, before responding. “Excuse me?!” I almost shouted, “What the heck? Old hag? I’m living my best life—”

“It’s not that best! Not without your sexlife!” She spatted. “That was the most important and exciting part of being a person, Sex!”

I almost shivered with what she was saying but I rolled my eyes at her instead. Too much information!

“Know what, Lacy panty...”

“Lacynia!” She exclaimed and her eyes widen. “That Lacynia not Lacy panty, Lia! You bitch!”

“Eww!” I rolled my eyes, before sipping on my champagne once again, ate the cherry and crossed my legs. “I’m busy, I have tons of works to do.” I said. “That’s why I’m not flirting. I’m building my future.”

“Jeez!” She rolled her eyes, “You’ve been fixing and building your future for years! How old are you now? Twenty-eight? You’ll really going to get webs and spiders all over your cherry!”

“I’m going to slit your neck, bitch!” I hissed at her, “Shut up, it’s embarrassing! People might hear you!” I said and slapped her thighs.

“Know what, Liana Baker, you’re just a freelance model, you can do both work and flirting! That’s called double time!” She said, and raised her hand dramatically, while imagining something above her. “That’s what you call Workting.” Lacy said, that I wasn’t able to control myself and laugh with that hilarious joke, and raised my wine glass.

“And you can do both work and flirting, that’s what you call Whoreking.” I said. We both laugh but of course in a classy manner, I wouldn’t want to look mad nor crazy. We clicked on our glass and chuckled.

“But hey bitch, you are just thinking that I don’t have boyfriend, but hey, I have a long list of guys whom I flirt.” I said

“Can’t believe, when was the last time I saw you flirted?” She was really thinking, “That was years ago, Lia! Years ago!”

“You’re imagining things! You’re not with me all the time, I never got ignored by boys!” I said. “I may be old, but my charisma won’t fail me!” I proudly said, because it’s true. I’ve never been ignored by any man, not that I’m bosting, it’s really happening.

“Really?” She eyes me from head to toe. “Okay, flirt with someone there.” She pointed the dance floor.

“Sure!” I said, competitive, I stood up from the bar tool, and set aside my long and curly hair from the back of my ear and shoulder. “Well.” I shrugged and fixed my shinning little black dress and looked at her. “Let the show begin, shall we?”

I winked. She burst out her laughter, and even clapped her hands for me. “Go, girl!” My sister is a big tease, still she’s my favorite person. I smirked. I looked around, well there’s a lot of handsome guys, but nah, not my type.

I roam my eyes again, and immediately fall with the guy sitting on the stool near the bar. The man is wearing dark blue button-down long sleeves that was folded until his forearm and black pants. He had this clean army cut, not the usual haircut for my type of boys.

It was Ivy league cut with high fade if I’m seeing it right, he was so serious while sipping into his glass while playing with it, making the ice clinched to each other. I noticed the women looking at his direction but didn’t even dare to come close to him.

I gasped and noticed his tight grip on the glass, his muscles protruding. I swallowed the lump of my throat. This man is seriously different from my other men. He has this serious, dark and matured aura surrounding him.

I might not flirt with some other guys, not him, right?

I took a glance at my cousin who’s sitting not so far from where I was standing, she widens her eyes, I cough a bit and tun my gaze to the man again. I slowly made my way towards him, my legs are wobbling, but I still made it.

I sat beside the empty stool next to him and spoke. “Hi.” I softly said I was expecting the man to look at me, but he didn’t even take a glance! Jerk! “Hello.” I spoke again.

He looked at my direction, I almost fell from the stool when I got the chance to see him fully. His deep smoldering green eyes got me in just a glance! My heart is now racing. He has pointed nose and stubborn jaw! A thin stubble is on his chin.

Oh... gosh.

“Yes?” His deep voice said, his bored and uninterested eyes glance at me.

“Uhm, I just want to introduce myself.” I said, almost shaking. “I-I’m Liana—” What the fvck am I doing right now?

“Not interested.” He said, as if nothing was really happening, I bit my lip, I almost lose my temper when he said that.

“E-excuse me?” I stammered.

“Leave me alone, Miss.” He said as if my presence does bother him a lot.

Oh, He fvcking ignored me!

“No… I won’t do anything bad, I just wanted to Introduc—”

“No, go away.” He said, his Jaw tightened, it’s annoying, he’s handsome yes, but he’s annoying! Jeez! Loosen up dude!

“Uhm, I just—”

“Go away.” He looked at me with his cold eyes.

“Are you gay?” I spatted out. He stopped, his jaw tightened more, I grinned when I hit that spot. “Oh, a gay.” I asked

“What do you think?” He raised his thick brows at me, probably annoyed of my presence.

Definitely not a gay, but hmm, gays nowadays are more good looking that those real men around.

“Then why won’t you budge there, and just keep on ignoring my presence? Only gay would probably ignore my beauty—”

“You’re not my type, Miss.” He smirked at me.

“Excuse me?!” I exclaimed. “Are you insulting me?” What the heck? I was insulted right straight to my face?!

“Facts only.” He licked his lips sensually and shook his head, a slight grin forming on his lips.

I laughed sarcastically at him. “For your information, I am an International model I posed for magazines, billboards—”

“Get lost.” He hissed.

I stood from my seat, he stopped, I slowly walked towards his direction, proudly. He remained serious, his green deep eyes bored like I was a statue, he neither care.

I saw the gap in between his parted legs, I did not think twice and stopped in between. He froze, I saw how his eyes shifted to unknown emotion as he stares at me, even if I am standing in between of his legs and the fact that I’m wearing my heels, our face is still at the same level.

I really hate that he looks serious and matured than my type of boys. It annoys me! I stared at his eyes and he stared back at me, cold and stiff. “I like you.” I said, well lied. His forehead creased, unintentionally glance at his thin and natural reddish lips.

He did not budge; he did not move. He was just staring at me, my legs are starting to shake, but I remained serious.

Brave, Lia.

“You easily like boys in the first sight, huh?” His husky voice said, smirking.

“S-so?” My brows raised.

“Not a good behavior, lady.” He stared at my lips, “Not good.”

I took a deep breath when I felt his calloused hand on my bare back, pulling me more softly. We exchange stares, I felt my stomach churning, my heart beating rapidly almost convulsing. He almost removed the gap between our faces, I almost ran out of oxygen when our nose touched, he smells liquor and musk.

Fvck!

I moved closer, when my lips touch his, my heart almost explode.

He stared at my eyes and planted a small kiss on my lips and when I craved for more, he smirked and spoke. “I’m sorry but I’m not into woman like you.” He said and stood, leaving me dumbfounded and crazy.

What the heck is that?!
