New Guy

I am confident that even though I'm in Paris, Lucian still doesn't have a woman when I return. I've been in Paris on vacation. I never thought that Lucian already had a woman in his life when I came back. And most of all, the girl he loves?

My gosh! I can't believe this! No! I will not agree! I can't let that girl just take him away from me! I've been dreaming of Lucian for a long time, and I can't believe someone can get him from me so quickly!

I got drunk in a bar on this island. I couldn't stop myself from crying. I don't weep easily. No matter how much it hurts, I don't cry quickly. As much as I can handle my tears, I will. But when it comes to Lucian I'm too emotional.

Damn it! I'm hurting. Lucian is mine! I can't let that girl take him away from me! I'll do everything to get that woman out of Lucian's life.

It's like Lucian only loves me!

I waited so long! Then what? Will that girl just take him away from me? No! I can't let the man of my dreams end up with her! It's been a long time!

Few men tried to approach me for small talk, but I ignored them. I don't have time for others. And I'm not interested. Lucian is the only guy that matters to me. I only give him my attention. My heart.

I sat on a stool there to drink alone. I don't want to talk to anyone. I just wish to be alone. I didn't need anyone.

I know no one can help me with my problem. I'm the only one who can come up with a solution when there's a problem.

I never tell Lucian about my problems since I don't want him to think I am bothering him. I know he wouldn't think of that, but I want him to see that I am independent. Sometimes he is the only one who knows my pain because he knows me too well, and he notices it.

I felt the vibration of my cellphone that was resting on the table. I picked it up and saw that it was Lucian calling. Caiden has been calling me for a while, but I'm not answering him. But now that Lucian was calling, I responded immediately after a few rings.

"Luci..." I said to him. He is the only one who can call me Luci, and I feel special. His cousins ​​used to call me by my name or by saying, babe. Maybe that's a habit too.

I heard his emphatic low. I bit my lip and sobbed. I miss him so much. I know he's angry because of worry when he's like that. It wasn't the first time he was like that to me. I fall more and more, becuase of that. I often get hurt too.

"Damn it, Lucila! Where are you? Why there's a noise background? Where are you? Are you in a bar?" he asked one after the other with concern.

"Lucian... I want you here."

He cursed again. "Damn it! Where are you? I'm going to see you. Caiden told me that you were here on the island a while ago. You're coming to me? Where are you?"

I bit my lip before crying. How? How can I not fall for Lucian if he treats me like this? How could I not love him deeply if I was used to him protecting me, taking care of me, loving me all my life? But just as a sister. Just as a best friend. When? When will he love me more than that? When?

"Lucila, answer me!"

I could not answer and hung up before telling him how I felt. I put it down and poured a glass of wine in front of me. I hate it! I hate this feeling of being hurt! Is it always when it comes to him?

I felt a hand on my back, so I looked at it. "What." I stood up to escape but almost fell due to the sudden dizzziness in the intoxication brought by the alcohol. I was a little embarrassed.

I am not an alcoholic person. I don't even drink a lot, so I get drunk quickly. And when I get drunk, I lose my right mind. Fortunately, Lucian is always there for me.

"Easy, Miss." said the man who caught me by my waist.

"Let go of me!" I said, annoyed, and tried to get away.

"Easy, Miss. I won't do anything bad to you. Let's have fun. I notice you're alone. You're alone. I suppose maybe you need someone to be with. I'm available." he said with a smile and bent down to kiss me on the cheek, but I immediately pushed him away before he could.

"How dare you!" I growled and pushed him. "What! Let me go!" I said annoyed and struggling because he was holding me tightly. "Lucian!" Shit! As if Lucian could hear me, he's not even here!

"Lucian is not my name babe," he said smiling. I had goosebumps. Yuck! He's too thick to call me babe! Only my close friend can call me that!

I'm always in a bar, and I don't experience this kind of treatment because I'm always with Lucian and his fam, so the men there are afraid to do bad things to us, and I'm respected in Manila because I'm known there.

I cursed and tried to get away. This guy doesn't know me; that's why he can do this! No one was in my place because it was too far away, and if anyone saw us, it would look like we were making out! Damn!

"Let me go!" I shouted as the loud music engulfed me.

"Don't worry, Miss. I know you want comfort. That's why you're here."

"What?! Can you hear yourself? Do you think I'm going to hit on you? Oh my gosh! You really think, hmm?" I said, annoyed, and tried to take back the arm that he was holding.

He laughed, making my chest pound in fear. Fear begins to creep into my system.

"That's not what you can say when I make you feel good in my company," he said and pulled me closer to him. I immediately struggled. Damn it! Lucian, where are you?

"Let me go!" I snarled and squirmed.

"Let him go, brad. Didn't you hear him?"

That man stopped forcing me when we heard that. Before I could turn around, the person who spoke pulled me away from that annoying man. I felt the hand of that new guy on my waist. I couldn't help but feel safe with what he did.

"What the--- Brandall?" the perverted man's tone suddenly changed from anger to unease when he said his name. Who is this new guy to have this effect on this annoying man?

"You better leave, or I'll kill your ass." the man said coldly. I really heard the threat in his voice. If he said that to me, I would be scared. I felt that he hugged me tighter as if he was protecting me from someone.

"I'm sorry, Miss." said the man and left. Tsk! Sorry, my ass! Without this man, I'm sure what he would have done to me!

I was about to look at the man who helped me, but before I could see who he was, he let go of me. I only saw his back because he was walking away from me.

My heart was pounding because of that. Weird. Lucian is the only one who can make my heart beat. How can this man make my heart beat when I don't know him or even see his face?

"Next time, be careful, Miss." I heard him say. I couldn't even say thank you. All I could do was look away from him and let my heart beat with a strange feeling.

Weird! Is it because of the alcohol?
