The night was always beautiful, a nice captivating scene to see. Taking a good stand point one might see a dazzling beauty not seen before from the city, the countless shade of light all mixing together to give out a perfect blend of life with essence of technological advancement.
The noise from racing cars headed for their various homes, adding more liveliness to the city.
Currently a man in a navy blue colour suit stood at the roof top, placing both hands on the top railing while he stared off towards the city. He had his back towards the entrance behind him.
He felt much relaxed staring far off either from being hundred percent certain that no one would ever come here or that he had already claimed this spot as his.
With the roof being dark, his silhouette wasn't quite seen. Still one could tell it was a man standing here from his physique.
Bel navigated her way through the stairs and meticulously climbed into the roof's top. Though the place was a club yet it had a structural building like a suite from its tall building, no one could question the owner since he named it a night club due to his own preference. She took a step forward after climbing upward, when she saw a figure standing there already.
Her brain seems to have stopped processing for a few minutes, with her heart running wild in her chest she held her breath. Silently cursing at her bad luck, she whispered inaudibly to herself still standing at one spot.
" You are not allowed here. " He said keeping his back at her. Bel became shocked that she just froze for a short while. She knew he was talking to her besides there was no one there other than herself, releasing a sigh. She stepped forward like someone who has been caught by the police.
" You are not supposed to be here.! " The man ordered with Bel already at the center of the rooftop. She felt nervous, so nervous that she wished she hadn't come in the first place.
" I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to.... " Bel managed to respond when the man slowly turned around. Taking a couple of steps from the railing which he once stood and approached her.
" Who are you.? What's your motive for coming here.? Bel flinched, at the resentment in his voice. His aura around him was more chilling than a freezing temperature.
Standing before her, he studied her closely. The expression in her face shows fear very visibly all over her. His cold eyes were very menacing, causing her knees to quiver.
" No, I'm not..." She shook her head in response, with her feet glued to one spot. The man drew his face closer to her, causing her to hold her breath.
" Then, did you get passed by the security at the curtains.? The man was scrutinizing her. His eyes became probing, watching all of her expressions.
" No... I..." She was short of words. Looking at him, he was the one she was looking for all this while which made her come to this side of the club.
The man took note of how she fumbled with her hands. From being frightened, which made him certain she was a mindless person who loves rummaging into unknown places.
Dropping his cold gaze which he directed towards her. " You should go now. Before the security gets a hold of you.! "
His voice was now calm, away from the harsh and resentment tone he once used in speaking to her.
Bel exhaled as she watched him retracting backwards towards the railing. She swallowed hard and gathered all the courage inside of her.
"And yet here I am.! " She said with a rare bliss in her tone. Showing how pleased she was of herself, which caused the man to curve his lips in an amuse grin.
" so what brings you here then? He inquired taking his hands from the railing while dusting them gently before placing them in his pockets. Straightening his posture, he turned again towards her.
' it's indeed him ' she affirmed all over again still looking at his face. She took a few steps forward herself while keeping her gaze on him.
She switched gears instantaneously shrugging her shoulder halfway up while she said " to have a bit of ' fun - time."
He smirked at her response before replying to her words. " This is not the clubbing area.! " Keeping his tone firm while still observing how fascinating she was becoming.
" I know.... I was just wondering if I could spend quality time with someone different..
Trailing off on her words when she arrived at a close distance from him. Though she was afraid of him awhile ago but now she seems to have gained courage. His sharp eyes held her gaze firmly at a spot where she couldn't look away from him.
"Mmm. Little girl " he said in a husky tone of voice.Causing her to draw in a sharp breath while she said
" I'm anything but little." Bel was quick to retort back at him, very pissed since she had never seen herself as little why let a man tell her that.
The man laughed in fascination at her response.
" Well then. Better luck finding that person. " He said before his expression shifted abruptly from his amuse state. Still having his hands in his pocket he prepared to turnaround towards his previous spot, when she spoke out.
" And I think I'm standing before one... " Bel said making her moves on him. He was the reason why she came here in the first place, despite not knowing where he was still she was able to find him. Perhaps there's no better time to say it than now.
The man chuckled outwardly feeling more amused at her words. His chuckles rang in the silent rooftop. She was indeed starting to amuse him. " Look little girl , you don't know me... "
Bel snapped the very next second. " I'm not little. Okay. " Spreading her arms wide apart as a gesture of showing herself to him.
" I mean look at me. "
Bel felt like the man was either blind which she doubted or purposely making fun of her. Besides she was already in her twenties and looking at her, one might say she's a full grown lady. Her blonde wavy hair loosen behind her adding to her pretty face and her dressing style; which speaks nothing but hot and sexiness.
The man creased his brows with his left hand with his eyes closed, he adjusted his tone.
" Then how old are you.. "
" Twenty-one. "
She said obviously. After all she was above eighteen and no longer a child.
" Still too young... " With disapproval in his tone, he hardened his expression in a bit to scare her away from him.
" I... I.... I am not too young. Besides try me. " Bel argued not letting it off. She conversed easily with him like someone she had known for a long time now.
Though she had never felt what it was like to be rejected, since she had only dated one guy after the constant pestering she got from him ' but this was different ' she reasoned to herself.
" Look. Pumpkin. "
PUMPKIN ! ! !
Bel furrowed her brows, visibly aggravated. Why won't he stop making her little? They were men like him who had chased after her at some point, why's he different. Does her charm not work on him?
Yeah. She did admit that he's good looking, handsome beyond doubt. Strong jawline, dazzling black eyes - short boxed beard which was well kept and his invigorating scent. Any woman would want to be by his side, but so was her she wasn't lacking as well.
" Let me be your woman? She reasoned out her thoughts, making him know what she truly desires from him.
" Look, you are still too young to be beside me.! Go look for someone else. " Hardening his tone , not giving her a chance to refute his decision.
" I did, search. But I only found you. " She said lowering her voice like a defeat puppy while keeping her eyes down. The atmosphere between them was a bit chilling and awkward. With the girl confessing and the man rejecting her proposed confession.
Looking at her with a rare glint in his eyes, he lifted his hand and patted her head like a child.
" Don't worry you will find someone much better. " He said moving his hand from her head while taking the leverage to check the time from his wrist watch.
" Alright. Seems I'm about to leave. " He said looking at her while she lifted her head with a burning resolve in her eyes.
" What do I need to do, to be your girlfriend?
That one question took him by surprise, seems she's not a quitter he reasoned. The corner of his lips pulled upward in surprise at her undying resolve.
" What's.. your name?
" Bel... Bel Dolph "
" Well... Bel. Allow me to walk you down from here... It would soon be getting cold. " Looking at her bare shoulder and her revealing clothes.
