UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 51 – 60
I walk into Sands & winches to eat something. I walk to the counter and tell the waitress what I wanted. My eyes meet with Piper’s and as usual she look away. When is this going to end ?
I collect my order and walk to their booth.
“Hey guys.”
“Hi Ariel.” Brandon replies my greeting but Piper didn’t.
“Guys I’m sorry. Look it’s gonna be fine if you guys don’t wanna talk to me ever again because I lied but I want you to forgive me because it wasn’t intentional. I couldn’t fathom what we had. I’m still new to everything.” I sigh.
“That means you never trusted us.”
” I did, I just don’t trust myself. I planned to tell you guys but I wanted to be sure that i know what I’m doing. Please…”
“Ariel, it’s fine. We understand but we need to get through this. I can’t even picture me doing that to someone i called a friend. We are not mad at you , we just need to get this over with.”
I sigh and bite the inside of my cheek. ” Sure guys. I’m sorry.” I smile faintly at them and walk out of the restaurant.
I bumped into someone on my way out.
“Oh my God, I’m really sorry.” I quickly apologize to this guy that i bumped into.
“Sure.” He smiles and walk past me.
I breathe in and hail a cab to go home. I unlock the door since Leslie isn’t home and shut it. I throw my bag on the single couch and walk to the kitchen to make coffee to drink. I need to get out tonight if i wanna sleep well. I’m crowded with guilt and I just wanna visit a party. I gulp my coffee and walk back to my room. I bring out my notebook to finish my assignment since exams aren’t far.
I slump on my bed and shut my eyes. Hell no , can’t sleep. After several attempts of falling asleep , I check my phone and it’s already nightfall. I need to go out , maybe a club. Without thinking twice , I rush to the shower and take my bath. I blow dry my hair and slip on a red strap dress. I don’t what I’m doing and I’m not backing out. The more I stay here the more I think I need to visit a therapist.
I apply a simple make up and I know I look different and beautiful. I put on my shoes and grab my clutch before walking out of my room. I sit opposite the bartender and ordered for cocktails.
I need to get drunk if that’s gonna numb all the aching pains inside me. I rest my elbow on the counter and consume my cocktail. Just two glass and I’m already tipsy.
“Aren’t you gorgeous ?” A voice speaks from beside me. I turn to look at this new visitor and he’s sitting on the next stool close to mine. I remembered him. The cute dark skinned guy I bumped into.
“Thanks.” I smile knowing fully well I’m getting drunk.
” It’s cute I found you here. I’m Hayden.” He says and that seems to furrow my brows on it’s own. Leslie’s ex.
” I’m sorry I’m not interested. I’m waiting for my boyfriend.” I lie drinking my third glass of cocktail.
“So who’s the lucky fella ?” He asks and I didn’t bother to reply.
Why would Leslie break up with someone like him. Honestly he’s good looking. To hell with my sister.
“He’s coming.” I finally reply looking everywhere but him.
He Chuckles and lean closer.
“Dance with me ?” He asks and smirks. I stare at his eyes and shake my head.
I know i wanted to avoid Gray completely but I can’t flirt with someone else. It feels so inappropriate. Why does he make me feel different ? Like he knows my buttons and when to press it.
“Thanks , not interested.” I get off the bar and find my way through the dancing bodies. What am I doing here in the first place ? Obviously to get wasted. I step on the dance floor and sway to the music.
The booze was working and I’m grateful. I twist my waist to the song as I feel someone dance behind me. I grind my hips against my new dancing partner as his hands wrapped my waist. His hands press against my stomach to feel his bulge. This doesn’t feel right and I want Gray already.
“Ariel.” A hand grip to mine as I turn around.
Why does it have to be him. He seems pissed and not really happy.
” Dick, get your hands off her now.” Gray yell at the guy who quickly let go of me.
” To the entrance. Get your broke ass out of my club.” Gray demands , referring to the guy. Why did I dance with him in the first place. I’m such a wrecker.
” Gray..” I hold his hand but he ignored me. The guy huffs and walk out of our presence.
