Chapter 14

Two young men sat in the vip area of a popular restaurant. One beautiful to the point of revulsion and the other lazily beautiful with an arrogant bearing.

"Man you must be joking" one said

"Whatever" the other said with a nonchalant shrug.

"Ares, its been a long time, let's go out, have fun, smoke blunts and fuck bitches."

"Roy I told you am not interested, I will be busy." Ares said sipping on his drink.

"Not fair bro, you've lost your touch" Roy said chuckling. Ares eyes grew cold at that. "Or maybe you haven't." Roy quickly backtracked seeing Ares's gaze.

"Okay, I will come but just some private shit." Ares said, his gaze finally returning to normal.

"Trust me bro, it's going to be some rich party shit, strictly for people of high class." Roy said quite smugly.

"Okay okay, when is it?" Ares asked

"Tomorrow, south villa, top floor."

"Okay I will be there."

"It's strictly formal by the way" Roy said

"okay then." Ares said as he stood up preparing to go. "Waiter" he called.

"Na bro, its on me, the bills." Roy said quickly.

"I'll pay don't worry its fine." Ares interjected.

"Bruh I invited you out, I should be the one paying." Roy said

"We split the bills then."Ares said firmly, his voice not leaving room for negotiation.

"okay, that I accept." Roy said chuckling.

"Waiter" Ares called again. A man in white and black uniform came to meet him.

"How much is the bill?"

"The bill is 11 thousand dollars sir." the Waiter said politely.

"okay then" without much thought he pulled out his credit card.

The Waiter collected the credit card and went ahead to swipe the money on the payment terminal.

"You payed for everything fucker." Roy said as Ares collected his credit card.

"Well you live, you learn." Ares said, giving out his signature smile.

"I would love to bash up your face right now." Roy said pretensiously as they walked out of the restaurant to their respective cars.

"Well, you can try it but I can't assure you that it would be my face getting bashed." Ares said his lips curling into a half smile.

"Na I still love my face, I don't need you to help me ruin it.

"See you tomorrow then." Ares said as he got into his car, driving off.

....

Ares and Roy walked into a huge lobby, taking the elevator to the top floor. Roy immediately dragged Ares to meet a couple of his friends, who were all rich folks kids. Ares left while Roy began to have conversations with some other kids, he wasn't the least bit interested in their adventure with different girls. He strolled around the large room with a wine glass in between his fingers. He wore a black tuxedo, with a black shoe to match..

He stood outside the open space of the room, staring at the moon, He could swear he saw a face in the moon but that was impossible right?

He went back in, his thoughts jumbled in constant questions, he looked at the people in the party, the music was playing, loud as ever.

He was never a fan of parties, even at high-school, that's was why he came late and went early.

With hands in his pockets, he sauntered out of the party hall.... He took the elevator down, mind still on the moon, the moonface, moonshine... whatever.

He could hear his name as he got close to the car, probably Roy. "Ares wait.." He heard again but this time, he was already in his car, driving away at speed that was anything but slow...

The fucker Roy thought as he saw Ares speeding off....
