Chapter - 1

The ravenette entered the spacious area of the club, hundreds of peoples scattered around the area, some dancing, few drinking, some flirting and most importantly they were having the time of their lives.

It already ruined his mood seeing those clingy ass chicks looking like a whole makeup store. Pftt!! Girls can be annoying.

Neon blue and red lights blinking around the area while the dancers dancing on the different small stages.

He walked towards the bartender and was smirking at those who were eyeing him. Well who wouldn't? He's a full course meal , wearing a tight white button up shirt with sleeves rolled up showing his weiny arms andough hands. A black coat covering one half of the arm, dangling with black dress pant that shows off his thick thighs, flexing when he climbed up the stairs.

" what can I get you sir?! " enquired the bartender .

"bourbon" the ravenette said.

The ravenette took a cigarette from his pocket and starting smoking. While he was side glancing, a certain blonde caught his eyes. Wearing a pastel crop top with tight black jeans and her hair dangling in high pony looking cute from anyone's point of view . A frown with a pout adorned her face.

She made her way towards the bartender and slumped in the chair near the ravenette.

" Can I get a margarita please?! "

The bartender nodded and proceeded with his order.

After few moments, the blonde and the ravenette both got their drinks.

The ravenette took out the fifth cigar and lit it up while getting drowned in his own thoughts

" Smoking is bad you know "

He was pulled back to reality by a sweet and soft voice.

" I know " he simply said to the blonde who was looking at him with curious onxy eyes .

" Then why do you smoke?! "

"I smoke when I'm bored, I smoke so I can think. It's a quick escape from the reality I'm in. It's a silent friend of my loud mind"

"Whoa !! Smoking seems cool" the blonde said with widened eyes and lips formed an O.

The ravenette chuckled at the cute sight.

" Convincing you is easy, eh "

" Nah, not really. I guess I'm a bit drunk ,Hehehe !! " the blonde replied.

" Wow !! Getting drunk over a glass of margarita , that seems new " the ravenette said with a smirk.

" Oh please, I'm already stressed " she murmured with a cute pout on her lips.

" And why is that ?! " he furrowed his eyebrows.

" Why do I have to tell you ?! I don't trust stranger. Mommy said stranger danger... " she slurred .

" Oh God!! You are definitely drunk " he retored.

After few seconds, the blonde squinted her eyes for a better view and opened her mouth to speak again,

" What is that?! " she enquired.

" What?! "

" The white substance on your left pocket"

" Uhmm .... It's ...you see "

" OHHOOOO...IS IT WHAT I THINK ?! IS IT DRUGS!? " she closed her mouth with her hands.

" Yep " he said.

" You do drugs too ?! Are you an addict?! DoOd, don't you wanna live?!"

"Sweetheart , drugs are addicting because they make you feel alive when you are dead inside. "

She frowned at that reply,

"And why are you dead on inside ?! "

"why do I have to tell you ?! I don't trust stranger. Mommy said stranger danger" he mimicked her.

And they both broke out a laugh. Damn, it has really been days since the ravenette laughed like that. They both were silent for few minutes and moreover it was a comfortable silence around them.

" Actually it's my birthday today ...." the blonde started .

The ravenette was about to wish her but her next comment made him frown.

and I'm sacred !!" the blonde said.

" Why ? "

She was quite for few minutets and spoke again,

" I'm turning 18 tonight and I'm entering adulthood and wanna know something, it's said that I may my soulmate.. Hehehhe.. " she said in a low voice.

" Yeah, adulthood sucks but you'll survive and.... Shouldn't you be happy to find your other half ? I mean, after all they are your everything "

" Exactly, that's what scares me even more !! Isn't terrifying to be someone's everything ?! "

The ravenette was dumbstruck by the reply . But he smiled sadly and said,

" If you ask someone who is deprived of love and affection, the answer they'll give you is negative. Yes, they are ready to be terrified even it is for one day where they can be someone's everything and accept all the love they shower. "

The blonde grinned at him,

"Guess, you haven't found your soulmate. Yet "

Yet.

The ravenette lost the trust on that word. After all it's been three years and he haven't found her expect for the name.

" Mmhmm.. I didn't " he said.

" Well.. Well ... I know it's random but I guess it's okay to be a drug addict . Afterall, we're all bunch of addicts ,struggling with our drug of choice "

The ravenette chuckled and retored ,

" You are really something, sweetheart ! "

"I know right " beamed her.

Somehow they both felt comfortable around each other . Though they just met a few minutes ago, It felt like they have known each other for a long time. They felt warmth around each other.

" Do you think my soulmate will accept me for me?! " she enquired.

" If he didnt ,then he ain't the right one honey"

" b-but — "

" No more questions , it's your birthday, remember?! "

The ravenette ordered Two shots of equila for them.

" Happy birthday sweetie. Cheers "

They clicked their glass and gulped their drinks in one go. They both were discussing some random things and suddenly their happy moment was interrupted by a red girl yelling at the blonde.

"HEY YO! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE YOU ASSHAT!! "

" COMING HOE " she yelled back .

The ravenette was smiling at their little interaction.

" it's time for me to- Wait ! Wait!! You didn't tell why you were dead on inside "

"Ahemm... it's a story for another day sweetie. Enjoy your day and always remember to live the moment yeah?"

" Pftt.. As if I'll meet you next time, just tell me already!! " she whined.

" Nope , I guess we will meet each other so soon"

" Tch Tch...Get lost , you druggie "

" Druggie ?! Really?! " he laughed in disbelief .

" Don't do drugs kid, bye bye~ stranger " she said and somehow while stumbling she made her way to her friends.

" See you soon. Nyla Waters " he said to no one in particular and smirked.
