Chapter 17

Setting narration: The crowded streets are never friendly to newcomers. Something the two girls had to learn the hard way. The now intermingled had offered no protection to the waves of people crashing against them. like two birds, one flying this way the other going the other as one has gone after something pretty the other is looking for her friend. Pulling out her phone only causing herself to be overwhelmed and her phone to fall to the ground being trampled on.

Rm POV

We landed yesterday and had to go through a long-ass meeting about placement and foodstuff like that was important . I suppose I was just happy that no scandals had arisen as of yet. We really didn't need any more bad press, as for the rest of the stuff mentioned during the meeting. Well, I never learned to pay attention to that stuff. I had the brains to understand and even overtake the meeting. I just didn't want to. It was a waste of time. As long as I was getting what was necessary nothing else mattered. With that being said It wasn't like I didn't have goals. I did, which was why I started Performing in the first place. It was just that as of recently I hadn't held the same passion for it. But , as long as my other goals were being achieved nothing else mattered . Nothing else could if that even makes sense but still she was on my mind. I couldn't allow it … and yet - here she was taunting me. A girl I had no claim over. A girl I had no right to lust over. A girl I shared nothing but a bittersweet kiss with mattered to me. She had somehow managed to wriggle into my head. The girl that belongs to my Brother. I had to keep telling myself that she belonged to my brother to keep those intrusive thoughts at bay. I did my best to just blow it off. I spent my whole day free of her, free of her temptations.

Everything was fine until we arrived at the hotel and I found myself in bed unable to sleep. I spent the night wondering if my ideas and thoughts about this girl were ok. I mean Suga is the only one that knows her name or at least the only person that I know of that knows the girl's name. The very next day I got up early and decided to take up my manager's offer to go exploring. I went out with a mask and all, and it was hot and I won't lie. I wanted to take off everything but just as I was about to do something happened. I bumped into her, the girl who had been clawing at my innocence since our very first kiss. My own personal temptress. My eyes met hers and she couldn't tell who I was. I wanted to turn around and walk away as I thought of my friend but then, I remembered that she doesn't know that it's me and so if it's not really me that would be talking it would be fine i would be imposing or break the code. " Right?"

I asked myself before walking over to her plus she looked scared and so I had to help.

Azulia POV

I can't find Bea and then I run into some guy. I'm so irritated and scared.

" Why would she walk away from me again? " I sighed. I was lost, I felt lost. I could feel the panic rising up from within. My mind racing over what could possibly happen to me or to Bea. I tried to concentrate before taking a deep breath. I needed to calm down. I have to ask for help and so I mustered up the courage to speak to him. " Ummm sir, do you happen to know this area well? You see I lost my friend and my phone was dropped just after because someone pushed me over." he spoke softly but I did hear that he knew the area well and that he was willing to help " thank you so very much I'm Azulia by the way and who are you?" he looked off as if to think it was weird but nothing too odd then as I thought he spoke, " ohhh um my name is monster." " monster that's an odd name…" he replied, " umm did I say monster I meant Munster my name is chuck, Munster."

" Pfft" I could only smile as I tried not to laugh at his name. "Chuck Munster? Is that like a stage name?" I stared up at the stranger. The man's eyes grew wide as he spoke " S-stage name, what stage."

"Huh," I asked concerned

"Ah, I mean I know it isn't " The guy rubbed his arm nervously. " Oh sorry, I wasn't trying to make fun of you". He spoke so silently as if he was shy. I shouldn't have said what I did. I kinda feel bad but I think continuing the conversation on this topic would only make him more upset and shy.

" I like your earring ". I said pointing at the crossbow earrings in his ears.

" Ah yeah thanks um " he started fidgeting with his ear before continuing " It might be better for me to just show you instead of just telling you"

" Oh um, wait what are you trying to show me again?" I asked somewhat confused. "Um the building you asked me for directions to " he scratched his arms slightly.

"Oh," I chuckled softly "Okay, then I don't know why I even asked that"
