Chapter 34. One Night Stand (+18)

**(Aunty Milla’s Perspective)**

Milla was not as calm as she looked from the outside when Jonathan showed her the photo. She was actually in a great tremendous astonishment. She couldn’t believe her eyes when she finally saw that man’s handsome face again.
After such a long time she had almost forgotten about him, she suddenly heard the shocking news. How could fate possibly make her remember of him again? And this time, her niece’s life was at stake because of that man. And she knew for sure, that man was the cause of her niece’s nightmare to be relapsed again.
When Jonathan showed her the photo, Milla pretended like she didn’t know that man. But truthfully, she recognized Daniel right away. He dressed in a white shirt and black pomade hair on the photo. He was looking as handsome as he used to be. He never changed. He was very charming and hypnotizing.
But there was the dark truth about him. Milla knew very well of the accident which happened to the poor Sienna about five years ago.
Sienna didn’t even remember her past. She didn’t recall the memories she used to have when having a backstreet relationship with a mafia gangster. And that man was Daniel Wilson.
There were those nightmares that Sienna went through after the accident that put her into coma. Milla was trying so hard to help her niece to get rid of those worse nightmares every night. She forced Sienna to undergo the therapy sessions until those dreams would be gone. And what was left for Sienna to remember was only the blurry sweet dreams.
Of course, Milla knew about Sienna’s sweet dreams and also about her buried nightmares. She knew a lot about what her niece had been through for several years back then. Although their relationship these days had not been really good because of the financial aspect, but deeply, Milla was still care for Sienna like her own daughter.
Milla wouldn’t want anything bad happened again to Sienna. She would protect her closely this time. She wouldn’t let that man destroyed the innocent life of Sienna again.
She knew who was Daniel Wilson for too well. She had a history with him. She could tell what kind of man he was. If only the people out there found out about his dark side, they wouldn’t want to call him as the most wanted bachelor no more.
After Estelle went upstairs to see how Sienna was doing, Milla sat down alone in the dining table. Her eyes gazed out at the window in the room. Her mind started wandering away, remembering the memories she had about him. Her heart was throbbing restlessly as she recalled those buried memories inside her head.
The first and last encounter she had with him. It was all happened in the past.
They were such beautiful memories, but also the worse memories.
And the most painful feeling that she had about man.
Her dark one-night stand.
With him.
***
The rain was heavily raining outside the window. Milla sat still on her barstool while waiting for her red wine to be served on the table.
The bartender, a man in his late forties kept on stealing a glance at her. His eyes were quietly flirting with her.
For a second, Milla quietly stared back at him. He was not that pretty handsome. But she thought he was kind of cute.
There were other people in the room. But this bar didn’t have a lot visitor that night. And so, she thought to herself, why didn’t she have some fun after such a rough day?
And then she glanced again at him, flirting her eyes at that man with thick beard.
As he approached her to deliver her drink, she flashed her pretty eyelashes at him.
“Here you go, beautiful,” he said while serving the glass of red wine to her. “Your tasty drink is well served by me. It’s a special drink.”
Milla giggled, trying to look flirty in front of him. “Thank you.”
Just when she was about to throw out a cheesy punchline for him, someone came at the bar table. He dragged the barstool abruptly beside her. She was surprised by his sudden arrival.
And then she heard the bartender cleared his throat. He suddenly looked nervous when seeing the new customer came at his table.
“Hey, Daniel, what will you have tonight?” He asked, while staring carefully at him.
Milla stole a glance at the young man that sat beside her. She bulged her eyes surprisingly when she just noticed how handsome he was. But his face looked kind of tired at the time. It seemed he had a rough day as well.
Then he shouted out at the bartender, “Just give me something strong, hurry.”
Milla suddenly snapped at him, “Aren’t you look too young to be here? Especially asking for something strong to drink.”
Soon, that young man glanced at her, showing his cold expression. “Yeah, I am. And what are you? Aren’t you too old to be here?”
The bartender quietly chuckled after he said that sarcastically to her.
“Ouch, I’m hurt,” she took what he said lightly though. “I am old. But my spirit is young.”
He stared back at her, finally showing his handsome smile. “Funny, huh?”
Milla asked him curiously, “Tell me, are you here looking for some fun? Or looking to release your stress after such a long and rough fricking day?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” He snarled. “People come here to have some fun.”
“What kind of fun?” Milla challenged him more.
And then he paused his intimidating gaze at her. He smirked.
“Your kind of fun, I assume,” he dared her in return.
From the corner of the bar table, the bartender already blinked cautiously at her, giving her a sign to stay back from that young man. But Milla didn’t want to take a heed even she understood what the bartender meant. She wanted to have some fun.
“Let me buy you a drink,” he suddenly offered. “You seem interesting.”
She smiled widely. “Nice, I really need that. Will you offer me the honor to dance as well?”
He licked his lips as he stared back at her. Then he chuckled.
“If you prefer to be my woman tonight, I can provide you with more thing,” he teased her.
Milla pinched her eyes at him, kind of surprised. “Oh, really? I’d like to be your woman. A young man’s spirit kind of giving me an adrenaline rush sometimes.”
“I see, you’re the type of woman who likes to be challenged, huh?” He guessed.
Milla giggled. “Yup, that’s kind of right. But I don’t do a plaything, just so you know.”
He grinned. “A plaything? So, what? You’re suggesting that we start a serious affair?”
“I’m just warning you, little man,” Milla said while playing with her curly hair in front of him. She was kind of teasing him to gain his interest. “I can be hot. I can be friendly. But I can also be ruthless. So, careful now.”
He smiled quietly at her. “I will, sure.”
The bartender came to deliver his drink. And then he secretly shook his head again at Milla, warning her not to get too close to that man. But still, she ignored his warning.
Instead, she asked him daringly, “You haven’t told me your name. And how old are you?”
“Does it matter? We’re going to have a serious fun anyway,” he teased her. “Being purely a stranger with you is my kind of fun.”
She giggled with his dark humor. “I’m Milla Moss, by the way. I’m thirty-eight years old,” she giggled afterward and said again, “Nice to meet you, handsome. So, come on, tell me yours.”
He finally nodded and said, “Alright… I’m Daniel Wilson. I’m twenty-four years old.”
“I know it. You are such a youngster!” She was amazed to meet him in this bar, where mostly filled with the people in their late thirties and forties.
“And why are you wearing a formal shirt? Are you like an office employee?” She wondered.
Daniel drank his wine in a gulp. And then he dragged her jaw to kiss her lips pretty hard. She was hugely surprised by his sudden wild kiss.
“Gosh,” she blinked nervously. “You’re such a good kisser.”
“So, want to be my woman for tonight?” He asked.
“Just for tonight?” She raised an eyebrow at him. “I told you, didn’t I?”
“No plaything. Just a serious affair,” he grinned at her.
The way he gazed so hypnotizingly, made her whole body went numb. He had such a strong charisma that could steal away a woman’s heart.
“Do we have a deal now?” He asked further.
She pursed her lips, contemplating his offer for a second. And then she smiled. “Are you promising me a future in this affair?”
“You’re so wild. We’re just barely know each other,” he giggled in disbelief at her. “And yet, you’re asking me to be committed to you.”
She wondered if he would take her seriously. “I am going to be upfront with you, Daniel darling. I like you. And I just got divorced last month.”
“Life can be suck, huh?” He muttered and giggled.
“I can be flirty with someone that I find interesting,” Milla teased him. “And I find you, very charming. Especially after you kissed me like that.”
He suddenly grabbed her neck. Then he landed his hot lips on hers again.
The bartender saw them kissing. He seemed like he was about to puke. But then he daringly shouted out at them, “Please, get a room!”
As Daniel backed away from her, he giggled and said, “He suggests us to get a room. So, what do you think?”
Milla quickly nodded as she bit her red lips, seducing him. “Sure, I’d like that.”
