CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 8

She's really breath taking. That dress is a killer but she doesn’t look like herself.

Tiffany entered the room as well as the waitress who gave us menu.

“Good evening Mr. Triumph, Mr. Hanks your other companions are here.” she said as Thomas, Ben and Richard entered.

“Oh! Hello buddy!” Ben said as he approaches me and does the man shake.

“Yeah man! Good to see you all here.” I replied as I offered them seats.

“Jem called and told me to come here.” Thomas said as he manly hugs me. I do the same to Richard.



We sat on the couch as the waitress serves our scotch.

My waitress flashes her cleavage on Jem as she put a glass on the table. Jem just smirked.

She left after giving a flirty glance to Jem. Women. I shake my head.

“Well that's something huh”?Jem said.

“I can't believe she flirted with you and not to Emerson.” Ben said when the waitress left. He’s laughs.

“That's because I'm her boss.” I replied to them and didn’t forget to give them a complete smirk.

I walk to the floor to ceiling window where the dance floor can be seen and was taken aback when I saw Love, kissing a guy. Clenching my fist, I took my scotch and drank it all. I might punch the bastard's face.

Jem approached me and I glance at him and look back again at where Love is. “You look tense there buddy.” he said while standing beside me.

“It’s nothing” then again, my eyes are hook with Love and the guy. They're still kissing. I gritted my teeth. I've never been this angry before.

Jem followed where I'm looking at. “Oh sh*t! You've got to be kidding me” he said.

I look at him. “What”? I asked.

“That girl in a silver dress, kissing with a guy,” he points to Love. “Is my employee and a friend”

“Then you must go there and bring her here so we can introduce ourselves to her.” Thomas interrupted as he walks towards where we are.

“No!” I snapped. Then I realized my action. “I mean, she's probably with her boyfriend or friends, you can't just tell her to go up here. Look..” I said, pointing to where she is and trying to regain my coolness as I point to her and the guy she’s kissing. “They’re even making out.” I added.

They nodded at me and look satisfied. “That's not her boyfriend though, she was cheated.” Jem said and he left.

“Is she's Jem's girlfriend”? Richard asked and I shrug. “He told me she's her employee and a friend.” I replied to Richard.

Love POV

Oh, it feels good but meaningless. This guy's good at it.

I was pulled from my kiss with...uhm.. Him. Yeah right, I don't know him.

“What the h*ll”? I snap. “Jem”? oh no! He's going to lecture me.

“Hi to you too.” then he grab my arms. “Let’s go!” He said as he pulled me to crowd and I followed him because he literally drags me to the room.

When we got inside the VIP room, I think, “What is wrong with you!” I shouted as he frees my arms.

“What's wrong with me? You should ask yourself that question.” he said angrily. Why is this man angry?

“It's none of your business whoever I kiss!” I back fire.

He looks upset. “I am your employer I don't want you seeing like this.” he replied to me.

“You are just MY employer not my father, not my brother!” I shouted back at him. “What do you care”? I added.

“I am your FRIEND.” He said quietly.

I close my eyes and count one to five. When I look at him, I saw the concern in his eyes. So I try to cool it down.
“I'm sorry, okay”? I said.” I just want to forget everything and it's my way to get through it.” I added.

“You don't need to forget whatever it is, you just have to face It.” that's when I hear a guy said, he's voice is so familiar. I realized that there are people with us. I feel like my face gone red.

“That's the best show we've seen. We never thought Jem has a beautiful friend.” a man holding a glass of scotch, he has blue eyes and in a suit like Jem. He held his hand and I shook it. “My name's Thomas.”

“Love”

He raises his two hands in surrender. “Whoa, whoa, whoa there! We just met and now you call me love? That’s fast.”

I smirked. “My name's Love, you d*ckhead” I said earning laugh from them.

“Nice try buddy.” A man with gray eyes said. “By the way, I am Ben and that guy over there” pointing on a man sitting. “That’s Richard.” then the guy nod. There's something about him and I don't know what.

I look at the guy with a deep voice. “You, you're the guy in the bar last time.” I said. “Yes, that's right! You were wearing a gray shirt.” I added.

All I got was just a smile. “Good memory, I thought you were drunk.”

“I wasn't. I do remember I asked your number.” I blushed.

“You asked his number”? Jem asked and I nodded. He then shook his head then motioned us to take a seat.
He gave me water. “What now, Jem? You just give me water while you're drinking scotch”? I said demandingly.

“You finish it first then I'll call the waitress to have yours. K? “

“Whatever.” I said.

I paused on my drink when I see this hot guy in front of me staring.

“Hi, I didn't have your name.” I said

He looks at me in the eyes and that's the time I feel so tensed. My heart starts to beat faster than awhile ago. I swallowed and then grab the water and drink it straight.

“Emerson Triumph.” he said as he held his hand. At first, I hesitated to reach it but then I thought, do it!

I reach for it and that's the time when I felt electricity? A current? Whatever it is, I felt it

I took back my hand immediately and he smirk. What's with guys and their smirks? I was startled when my phone starts to vibrate.

I look at caller ID.

“Oh shit!” I exclaimed and now earning the guys' stare. “Friend, I left them downstairs.” I explained, showing them my cell phone.

I slide it to answer. “Where are you?! We almost call a police and search for you. I've been calling you for three times.” Celine shouted.

“Hold there, calm down. I'm okay. I'm here at one of the VIP rooms upstairs. Wait” I hold my phone and look at Jem.

“Can they go here”? I asked, giving them my most puppy eyes. All of them looked at Emerson and he gave a nod.

“Come here. It's the last room.”

“Okay we'll be there.” she said. “Wait, did you say the last room”? she added.

“Hm, yeah”? I said, confused.

“How'd you get there”?

“I have feet, I guess”? I said, sarcastically.

“Ugh!... I mean, that room is only for the owner of this club.” she stated.
I look shocked but composed myself. “Just go here.” That's why they're still in a business suit.

Within five minutes, Celine and Tony came in. I notice that Jem is eyeing Celine and vice versa. It seems like they’re bewitched with each other.

“There you are, we've been looking for you.” Tony said in his gayish way.

He looks at Richard.

I slap his arms. “Hey, I am here. Don't scare Richard.” I whispered.

He moves closer to my ears. “Don't worry he's like Me.” he said. “What! That's impossible!” I snap earning a glare from everyone.
