"Go home pumpkin "

Looking into his eyes she fell silent. Creasing her brows with frustration imminent in her. She wondered why was he pushing her away even though she was firm and very serious with her words.

" Bel , you're a brave little girl. " He said holding a faint smile on his face, with a hard edge creeping into his voice.

" I'm not little, besides. I'm twenty-one. "

The man's expression shifted abruptly into a serious one, where he said.

" Indeed you are twenty-one. But, do you know who I am.? "

" No. "

" Still you are asking to be my girlfriend.? "

She nods her head in affirmation to his words. He observed her one last time, from head to toe as he licked his sexy thin lips before taking a step towards her.

" Look pumpkin, you don't know me. And there's danger signs if you get involved with me. " the man eyes blazed in a dangerous glint. Sounding out a warning to her causing her to feel the sudden chill of the cold breeze.

Bel didn't want to give up yet on her pursuit for him, but noticing the change of the temperature, she was forced to consider. Retracting back slowly in the direction of the exit, where she came through. At that moment the look on the man's eyes shifted abruptly before he took a step after her.

' BING! '

The elevator's door opened. At the bottom floor, what followed was the man at the rooftop a while ago accompanied by Bel who stood behind him. He stepped out first and she followed afterwards.

Looking at him more visibly through the light, he was really good looking. His taper fades comb over, giving off the feeling like he just ran his hands through them. His suit, a vintage classic navy blue.

Looking at him, one can't help but gape in awe at such a masterpiece. He's clothe looked like they were made solely for him.

His navy blue jacket hugged his broad shoulders, showing off his well-built physique. Walking forward calmly with both hands in his pocket, he kept his gaze firm walking in the direction of the back door. They both didn't say a word to one another, just letting the silence reign.

Arriving at the door, he pulled it open and stood at the side waiting for her to pass through. Bel finally lifted her down casted gaze towards his face. She looked into his eyes for seconds before taking a step out of the basement fixing her gaze ahead.

Outside the basement was a parking garage. She stood there looking around the place in a gloomy mood, her once skyrocket mood had plummeted drastically like a piece of fire being quenched by a cold bucket of water.

The man stood beside her now while she fumbled with her fingers.

A black luxury car drove over towards where they stood. Walking over he pulled the door for her and she slowly climbed on while he turned around and hopped into his seat at the back along with her.

" I would drop you at the front of the club. " He said keeping his gaze ahead from his seat, feeling more comfortable on his seat.

Bel was totally quiet. So quiet that she didn't even hear his last words, or knew the content of what he said to her. She only felt broken, like how can a man treat her like this after pouring out her heart to him.

Was this how all her pursuers felt when she ended up turning them down? Now she knew what it felt like to be at the receiving end, and it was not very nice at all. Bel had always lived her life thinking that she would never fall for a man, though she doesn't know if this was love but it hurts; it hurts to be rejected.

" We are here. "

" Mmm. "

" It's time we say our goodbye. " He said looking out the window from her side.

Blinking her eyes repeatedly, she came to a realization that he meant she should get off now. Not knowing if she still has any time to try out her luck, she stared at him for a while.

" Would we meet again?

" I think that won't be. For the best. " Cutting off all her hopes of ever trying her pursuit with him.

Sitting still, she didn't know how to try her luck on him anymore. Feeling despair getting on her, she breathed a sigh! Her eyes held a rare glint which flashed across them. The next moment she made a very daring move.

Bel moved very quickly. As quick as a bolt of lightning, placing a quick peck on his lips. The next minute she opened the door and ran off from the car, heading in the direction of the club.

The man was lost in a daze. Did she just steal a kiss from him? How daring was she. Lifting his fingers and touching his lips, he looked towards the direction of the club and she couldn't be seen around anymore.

" Let's go. " He finally said with his tone which shifted abruptly into a restraint and cold one away from the one he used in speaking with her.

' RING HH!! '

In a huge bedroom. With big soft bed, at the center of the room. The walls of the room was painted in azure and sapphire blue colours, giving off the feeling of winter. Other than the colour, the other decorations in the room were of girlish stuff.

A huge photo behind the bed, a massive wardrobe at a side door. Spanning as big as an entire room, an expensive crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a pleasant atmosphere to stay in.

'RING HH!! '

The alarm clock rang again. Causing the girl sleeping in the room to awaken from her sleep. She moved her hands from her side towards the alarm clock beside the bed, slowly placing her fingers on the right button and turning it off.

Sitting up more properly in the bed, she looked around the room in daze from waking up abruptly by the sound of the alarm.

Bel yawned from tiredness. Placing the back of her palms at her lips like an elegant lady, she heaved a sigh. Afterwards she looked at the time from the wall clock , and it's already past eight.

At that moment, her phone dinged. Grading it from the nightstand, she unlocked it and saw a notification message. Tapping into it, she saw a video of the party which went on after she left.

Placing the phone aside, she laid back down on the bed. Besides it saturday. Staring at the chandelier above her, she recalled the event which occurred last night, how she got her first kiss and ' the man. '

She face palmed herself from embarrassment, feeling the blood surging up her cheek.
