5 Unexpected Meet

The hotel was luxury five stars with the luxury suite booked for the occasion.

Orion was not so well off so it was his first time in the luxury suite.

He was impressed by the grandeur displayed there. He walked inside and soon found rows of people talking to each other. He went ahead and found Ryan who was busy flirting with some unknown girls.

He dragged him to the side by his shoulder,

"Hey what the hell? Who booked this suite.

And who are those girls? You said it was a party for our class? "

Ryan freed himself from the grip and raised his hand,

"Woah! Calm down, dude. First It is a class party with students from all majors.

Second, those girls are from finance, You know they are hot so that's why you don't know them."

He wanted to expand on this reason but seeing the almost swearing face of Orion he passed.

"Third, This suite is booked by contributions from all rich holders of college. No need to worry about booze and food. Both of them are free. You can even take the girl with you if you can impress her ...."

Ryan wiggled his eyebrows in a suggesting manner.

Orion rolled his eyes, soon all of his other friends found them together and they began to talk about random topics.

Orion talked for a bit then he found that Ike was not with them when inquired he found him sitting alone in the quiet corner eating food.

The food on the table was ranging from quality chicken wings to French fries. From the noodles to the Spicy soup. And from heavy steak dishes to amazing roasted duck.

It was clear he had ordered the all group as he knows the friends will surely gravitate together to eat. Although Ike was introverted but with friends, he knew how to spend time.

Orion chuckled and went ahead and sat beside him.

"Oh, so you are already focusing on the main target. Bro, you need to call me too. It's too selfish to start alone." Orion said as he grabbed the fried chicken wing and tasted it. Sure, it was a quality food worthy of a five-star restaurant.

Ike swallowed the chicken ribs and licked his lips,

"I was waiting for you for a long time but when you didn't arrive, I had to help myself you know."

Orion laughed with him and both of them began to munch on the delicious food. Although he was an aspiring chef, he could not eat much food in terms of quantity. He prefers to eat slowly and gets satisfied with a small amount. So he was eating slowly but steadily.

As they were sweeping the food off the table, soon Nydia who was in jean shorts and crop top found them. She pointed her finger at them in anger.

"You greedy idiots. Call me when you are going for food…"

She quickly sat together with them on the couch and began devouring food. Food and booze she didn't need any invitation for the same.

Ryan and Oliver came around with large bottles of vodka, wine, beer, and whiskey. They placed the bottles on the food table and proceeded to open each of them.

The whole friend circle chatted and mingled with each other drinking beer and whiskey. After a few rounds when everyone was dizzy, they were having the time of their life.

Orion stopped after a few drinks as he had less taste for alcohol so he was more clear-headed than all.

He noticed the happiness in the group as they laughed, mocked, argued with each other.

He observed them for a few more moments when Ryan pushed a drink towards him.

He tried to refuse but the gang who never had a one combined opinion suddenly united in forcing him to drink.

At last, he was forced to empty the large class of whiskey. He quickly changed the target to Ike who was already on verge of collapsing as he had less tolerance for alcohol.

The party or get-together as our group was sitting making a circle of their own continued till late at night. Orion was still somewhat sober, so he informed them that he was leaving.

They tried to stop him with Nydia informing him as she was the with the most limit of alcohol and was still clear-headed among all tripped friends,

That Hotel suite was booked for tomorrow morning. So he could stay for the night but Orion refused.

She raised her glass filled with vodka and waved goodbye to Orion. He smirked and left from the main door to the outside.

He was in the lobby of the hotel, going outside when he passed by the man who was wearing a hat on his head. He didn't pay any attention to him as he was thinking of a route that he took to reach this hotel.

He was worried that he would get lost again, so the best bet was to book a cab for himself to his home. He was contemplating this when he stopped midway in the path.

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He immediately sobered as the grip of hand was not friendly but stern hinting at the hostility within it.

His first guess was that he was getting mugged (robbed ). But he looked around with the corner of his eyes that he was still in the hotel lobby.

No one was so idiot to try anything with dozens of cameras pointing at himself. He then began to notice the weirdness with the particular empty lobby.

No one was in sight, he raised his head to see at the reception desk but it was too empty. A strange feeling began to rise in his heart.

He slowly turned back to the stranger as intended by tug over his shoulder. He looked at his face and was stunned.

The same person he had seen the afternoon in the street which he thought was a dream. The fat Person who jumped from the building to another one. The Man with wings was chasing this person.

Orion's pulse rate quickened and sweat began to appear on his face. All memories and discrepancies flooded his mind. He was rooted on the spot without any movement.

'It was not a dream!' This was the thought playing over and over in his mind. The man who was wearing the hat now smiled a little and said,

"Hello? "
