Chapter Ten

it's Saturday morning and I finally get started on putting my clothes in the closet, arranging all my stuffs properly.

Alexa wasn't really happy when I told her I got the job yesterday and I clearly don't know why she is so against me working. it's not like I care, she can as well shove her opinion up her ass. My phone ringtone blares throughout the entire room. I walk out of the closet to the bedside table where I had placed it right beside the a necklace I assume it belongs to Ken. I picked it up the night I of the ball when I collided with him and before you judge me, I am going to return it. I pick up my phone and an unknown number is calling. I answer the call.

"Hola" comes a cheery voice. it sounds like Anna.

"Before you begin to rant about how I got your number, I copied it out from your documents" I was right, it is Anna.

"Hey Anna, how are you doing?" I am really happy to have made a new friend so quickly.

"I am doing really good. So, what are you up to today?" she asks. I can hear a voice that sounds like a guy's own saying something to her. it is probably Luca.

"Nothing much, I just cleaned up my room and have nothing else to do" I tell her. It is 1PM in the afternoon and there's nothing for me to do than eat and if I continue to eat, I will end up devouring the whole house.

" cool, once it is 4pm, I will pick you up then we can head to the club. are you in?" I have never been to a club before but I won't miss this opportunity.

"of course I will really like to go."

"good. see you at 4. bye" she ends the call before I get to remind her she doesn't have my address. I pick up my phone and text my address to her. I still have about three hours to do nothing. maybe I should take a nap in the bathtub. sounds fun. I set my alarm for 3pm and head to the bathroom to run a bath then I run to the kitchen to grab a red wine and a wine glass.

I pull off my clothes and step into the tub and lay down ensuring the bubbles covers my entire body. I pour the wine out and drink humming to myself until I finally feel sleep settling over me and I close my eyes embracing it.

I hear a distant noise until it gets louder and I finally open my eyes realizing it is just my alarm. I get up from the tub and wrap a towel around my body. what do people wear to a club? I should ask Alexa but she is out with God knows who.

I end up wearing a black ripped jeans and a peach colored crop top. I put on my black ankle boots, throwing my hair into a ponytail. my phone beeps, Anna is outside. I grab my jean jacket and head outside locking the door with my key.

"Hey baby" Anna squeals as I walk up to the car which she had the top opened. I giggle and step into the car and she drives off as soon as I shut the door.

"So where are we going?" I ask starting a conversation.

"I already told you we were going to a club" she says and smiles.

"Just us two?" I ask her and she smiles in a goofy manner "oh no...Ken will be there" she says and starts laughing and I glare at her.

"it is so sweet to see you all riled up" she remarks and I don't answer instead I focus on the tattoo on her wrist. it is a small love that has L and A written in the middle. That's so cute. she notices me staring at it and she blushes and turn up the song blaring from the radio of the car.

"You guys are so cute. I wish I have a romantic life" I say shouting at the top of my voice. She turns downs the music and smile to herself "Our relationship didn't exactly begin with all this lovey-dovey whatever. It was actually a hate-love relationship"

"what do you mean by that?"

"We were normally just colleagues at work and we couldn't bear the sight of each other and then a little talk over dinner brought us to where we are today" wow. I wouldn't have ever thought there was once a time they hated each other. They are so perfect and cute together and I am happy for them and not so happy for myself. I have failed in the love aspect of life.Dad is probably turning in his grave right now.

"That's beautiful" I say. She is really lucky to have Luca.

"I know right?" she says and I tune throughout the radio channels finally settling on one that is playing an old rock music from the 70's.

"You are not actually suggesting we listen to that right?" Anna asks and I nod.

"your have zero taste in music" she mocks and laugh and I join her laughing hard as well.

"So here we are" Anna announces as the front door of the club comes into view. The club is really big and there's a bouncer at the door with a lot of people waiting on line. It is a really long queue, how on Earth are we supposed to enter here with this amount of people and just as if Anna knows what I am thinking about, she curls her hand around my elbow and pulls me to the door where the bouncer stood with a very serious expression. Nice try Anna, if you think you are going to flirt us in. He immediately steps out of the way even before Anna starts to flirt. What is happening? or is Anna maybe like Michael's daughter who screws the bouncer at k-strip just to get into the club.

"Why didn't he stop us?" I ask Anna. She laughs and place her hands on her waist "I am a VIP darling, now let's go meet the guys" She means just Luca right? or everyone including Ken? Maybe I didn't hear her right, she probably said let's go meet the guy and not guys.

We walk up a flight of stairs and I am beginning to regret my casual clothes, I look underdressed, most girls are putting on beautiful and sexy short gowns including Anna. Anna is in a cream colored gown that stops just above her knees. The gown fits her like a second skin fitting her curves perfectly.

"Here they are!" she grins and walk into a dimly lit room. It is kinda difficult to pick out anyone's face in the room but I can't say that about Ken. Even if I was blind, I would always recognize him.

"Look who I brought!" Anna says in that cheery voice of hers as we walk up to the guys who all look like they are having a serious conversation over beer. They all look up except Ken who just grab a glass of whatever he was drinking and gulp it down his throat. Even that little action looks sexy as hell.

"Hey baby" Anna coos and shoves Andrea away from Luca's side and places herself next to him.

"You could have just said 'Hey Andrea get your ass away from my dummy, I want to have a word with me" Andrea scoffs and sits on the other side where fake Roberto sits.

"Who is the dummy?" Luca asks feigning anger.

"You of course" Andrea shrugs and cracks up in an evil laugh.

"Enough of that! look who I brought" Anna says and smiles at me.

"Hey Rosa" Ken finally acknowledges me and beckons me with a nod to sit next to him. I am literally about to do the hokey pokey dance. I take a deep breath and remember Alexa's advice 'whenever you see a guy you like, remember to always stand tall' but at the same time I am a short girl, how am I supposed to stand tall?.

"How are you doing?"Ken asks as I settle down next to him.

"I am actually doing really good"

"I mean I landed myself a nice job with awesome colleagues and a perfect and attractive partner..." Ken fascinating smile makes me stop rambling on and for real wetness pools around my core.

"You think I am attractive?" he asks in a sly manner.

"Have you seen yourself?you are like the Greek god of..." wait was I about to say sexiness? This is not me. What happened to Rosa besides is there a Greek god of sexiness? I am so so stupid...

"earth to Rosa" I look up and finds everyone looking at me.

"We've been calling your name" Anna says

"Maybe she was thinking about something"Fake Roberto suggests.

"Yeah that. She was thinking about how she is so lucky to have such awesome colleagues like you guys and a perfect and...." realizing Ken is about to relay everything I said earlier, I place my hand on his mouth. oh my, his lips is so soft.

"let's go dance" I tell him and gently remove my hand not sure if he is going to continue his earlier story..

"Are you asking me to dance? that's so cute" he says and a blush creeps it's way to my cheek "you don't have to if you don't want to" I turn to head to the dance floor.

"oh I will love to" he gets up and places my hand in his spinning me around.
