CHAPTER 30: SAVE ME
Loud music greeted Chelsea and Angel when they arrived at the bar. With so many people, they could hardly find a place to sit.
"Angel, can we go back next time? There are so many people..." Chelsea shouted so that her friend could hear her, who was busy pulling her while looking for a place to sit.
"What? Sorry but I can't hear you!" she replied.
Chelsea just winced because she didn't know if she really couldn't hear her or if she was just turning a deaf ear.
"There's still room beshy! Let's go! let's go!" she said happily while still pulling Chelsea.
When the two sat down, Angel said goodbye to go to the bathroom and get some drinks. Chelsea nodded and he was left alone. She looked around to see what else she could do besides just drink tonight when her phone rang.
A message from an unknown number.
[What are you doing here?]
That's the only message from whoever texted Chelsea. She looked around curiously to find who texted her but she didn't see anyone she know. With so many people it was impossible for her to know anyone who texted her.
She just ignored it and hid her phone in her bag. After a while, Angel came with a margarita. "Oh, drink that!" she said as she handed the drink to her friend.
"What are we doing here? You know we're both tired from work... Don't you want to take a beauty rest?" Chelsea asked as Angel sat down.
Angel raised her eyebrows and tormented her friend. "What are you doing? We're here to have fun. Beshy, now that you're single and like you said you're out of the contract, it's time to have fun and find hot man!" Angel said while still laughing.
"But you know I can't go outside right? What if someone recognizes me here? No one knows that Red and I have broken up... What if people make issues just because of what we're doing? I don't want to give him any more problems, I even owe him..." Chelsea said worriedly.
"You know, beshy, people will find out anyway. If they find out because they saw you at the bar, that Buenavista should be thankful because he won't have to trouble anyone to let everyone know that you're gone. Besides, revenge you've already told him because of his clumsiness. You're so beautiful, you know you're the kind of woman who is presented at the altar and given a real marriage and not just a contract. If he really loves you and he will do everything for you. I wish he had been looking for you for a long time. But look, it's been a week since you left his power, but have you heard anything from him? Nothing! So if I were you. Forget about it because tonight we will find someone higher than him. Okay?" Angel said. Chelsea didn't know what to do.
CHELSEA
After all, Angel has a point... If he really had something for me, he would have been looking for me for a long time to come back to him. But still nothing. Maybe he doesn't really want me back... I'm just another girl he used to disobey his mom's wishes and when people found out he was married. Why did I still hope that everything he does for me has meaning? I know we have a contract but I was fool with fake words.
Angel is right, I should enjoy tonight and not trouble Redemon. This is the beginning that I will forget that he even came into my life...
…
As time passed and the night deepened, Angel and I continued to have fun. I don't know how much alcohol we drank but I can feel that it’s already kicking, maybe it's because of the tiredness from my work this morning.
"Hey, my friend and I were finding some spot to sit but we couldn't find anywhere to sit. Do you mind if we sit here with you, ladies?" Said by a muscular man who I think is about 25 years old.
He is tall, white, his black hair is a little curly, and I can see his body being physically fit. When I looked at his companion, he seemed to be quiet, but when he looked at me, I feel like he would eat me alive. Those stares… His clean look, it looks like it smells like Johnsons baby powder. I can't deny that this men are very attractive.
"Sure sure! Join us!" My drunk friend smiled and said. The redness on her face was obvious because of the alcohol we drank. The slightly curly man stood next to Angel and the one who looked quiet stood next to me.
Hmm looks like I already know this...
"Hi, I'm Ares." Suddenly, the person next to me shouted and extended his hand to me. I accepted it and shook his hand, "Chelsea.." I said to him a few times. I looked at Angel and the two seemed to be getting along because they were laughing while talking.
"Do you know how to dance?" he whispered in my ear. I was immediately terrified when his breath touched my ear. I pulled away a little and glared at him. "Sorry... I didn't mean to frighten you... Because the music is so loud you might not be able to hear me." he immediately said. It was obvious from his face that he really didn't mean it and he even bowed.
"Ah, yeah sure, come on?" I asked him, he immediately looked up at me and smiled at me. He stood up and help me to stand.
"Beshy! Where are you going?" Angel suddenly ask when she saw me stand up from my seat.
"We’re going to dance, you guys? Wanna come?”
The two immediately looked at each other and stared as if they were talking in their minds. "No, we’re just gonna talk here. Have fun!" she said before turning her attention to the man she was talking to.
"Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back," I said and she just nodded at me and held out her hand to signal that we should leave.
Ares held my waist as we approached the center. I was shocked to see him vibing with the music. I didn't expect this one to be such a good dancer. I followed him and grinded my body. Maybe because of the drunkenness, I was no longer embarrassed. I turned my back on him and cinched my waist. I don't know why but it enters my mind that I want him to notice how beautiful my body is. I was shocked when he suddenly pressed his body to my back and continued to dance. I accompanied him and even tried to comb his hair. I was so carried away by the beat that I faced him and held his chest while continuing to grind my body.
He stared at me and it was as if those looks were slowly swallowing me up. He brought his nose closer to my neck and seemed to be slowly smelling me up to my ears. It has a crazy effect on me. When he reached my ear, he slowly pressed a kiss to my neck and whispered, "Wanna go somewhere more private?" It was like a hoarse whisper in my ear.
I stared at him for a few seconds and immediately nodded. He smiled before walking out of the bar holding my hand. When we got out, he took me to the parking lot and looked like he was looking for where he parked his car. When he finally found it, he immediately allowed me to enter the passenger seat. I was surprised when he also entered with me.
Aren't we leaving? Really here in the car? I immediately asked in my mind.
When he entered, I was thinking to go back when he suddenly grabbed me with a kiss. I was so surprised that I was still wide open as he slowly pressed my lips. I don't know but I suddenly felt regret that I went with him. I want to stop him but I don't know how. His kiss went down from my ear to my neck. I feel the tickle in my whole body. It was as if I realized that I just didn't move and let him do what he was doing. I was surprised when he slowly lowered the strap of my dress and went back to pressing kisses on my neck.
"Uhh... hmm..."
I immediately moaned when I felt him rubbing my chest while still continuing to press kisses on my neck. I was already feeling lust in my whole body when I suddenly pushed him when he suddenly tried to insert his hand in the middle of my thigh.
"What are you doing?!" I shouted angrily at him when I pushed him away from me.
"What's wrong? Isn't this what you wanted?" he asked in shocked.
Fuck! What am I doing? It's not right. I'm just drunk...
"I'm sorry but... I can't... Let's go back inside..." I said softly and he immediately frowned at me.
"Why?" he seriously asked. Obviously, he didn't like me holding him back.
"Nothing.. just... let's just go back inside..." I pushed him and immediately got out of the car and hurriedly left the parking lot, but before I got far someone immediately pulled my arm and threw me back on the wall. I felt even more dizzy because of the impact of leaning against the wall.
"Where are you going?" Ares' asks while holding my arm tightly.
I don't know what happened but it's like I'm facing a different person now and far from the quiet and innocent looking man a while ago. I felt scared as he tightened his grip on my arm as I tried to pull away.
"It hurts... P-please let me go..." I moaned while begging him to let me go but he didn't seem to hear me and immediately dragged me back to his car. He forcefully pushed me into the passenger seat and closed the car door.
When he closed it, a man suddenly pulled Ares and punched him with all his strength. He rained heavy punches on Ares' face and hit him hard in the stomach which made Ares weak. He lifted Ares up again and kicked him with such force that Ares crashed into a car. Immediately that car honked and rang loudly. I tried to recognize the man but my surrounding started to get a little blurry. The man suddenly went to Ares and slapped him hard to wake him up, but because of the blows and bruises he received on his body, he can’t no longer stand up.
The mysterious man approached the car and opened the passenger seat door. I was very surprised to see who was the man who saved me from danger.
I was dumbfounded.
If he didn't come, probably something bad would have happened to me. I suddenly choked on my tears and they began to fall. He just stared at me and let me get out of the car. He adjusted the strap of my dress and gently combed my hair with his finger. He wiped the tears that spontaneously fell from my eyes. "Shh... Don't cry... I'm here now." he whispered.
I couldn't stop myself and hugged him tightly.
"I-I'm s-sorry, Red..." I sobbed as I couldn't stop my tears from racing down.
