Really?

The man's handsomely face was too beautiful to not stare at twice, he was like an angel, no an angelic demon. His gray eyes were piercing into Arianna's as he glared at her, she was so lost staring at his eyes and beauty that she didn't get what he was saying. Arianna took her time to get his features into her memory, he had a girlish face like a runway model, his nose was small and pointy that she couldn't help herself but to poke it, and hair that looked so soft and silky that she was so tempted to run her hand in it. Giggling, she took her eyes to his gorgeous pink lips and unconsciously licked hers while staring at his.

Wish I could just take those in my mouth, she thought.

"Really?" The man said with a deadpanned look, with a confused face Arianna looked at him.

"You really want to take my lips in, huh?" He asked again, seeing the confused look on her face. His face was still stoic, not smiling or frowning, just neutral.

"Yes…., I mean no, no I don't, please I need to leave." She dashed off before the man could say anything.

'Really has to make a fool of yourself, Arianna, way to go.' She chided herself as she went back to the room.

"What took you so long, Ari?" Zoey asked, Arianna's face was flushed.

"Nothing, I just bumped into some egotistical idiot on my way, nothing much" Arianna seethes in anger as she thought of the look of disgust in his eyes when he spoke to her, he stared at her like a thing, something that wasn't worthy of his attention. She scoffed and angrily took a glass of wine, she gulped it down without thinking twice and winced at the sharpness.

Zoey nodded and took her attention back to her boyfriend, and almost immediately Matthew stood up with his cellphone in his hand.

"Where are you off to, babe?" Kat asked, dropping her drink as she intended to get up.

"There's no need to follow me, the party boy is here, so I'm going to bring him to our table." He explained.

"Yes, go quickly." She said, her eyes brightening more with the news.

Matthew didn't say anything before leaving, Arianna's eyes mistakenly moved to Zoey's, and it almost bulged out seeing the couple making out without shame.

"Grrr, I'm tired of watching you guys play lovey-dovey, go get a room." Amaya spat out while glaring at the two who weren't affected by her words.

"Go get a boyfriend and stop nagging. I really don't see why you don't want to end up with Mason." Jason said as he pulled from the kiss, he winked at her and Amy blushed.

One look at Jason and one would know his personality, he was cheerful and also a flirt.

"Amy." Someone called as he stopped at the table, he stared at her for some time, trying to see if it was really her. When he saw her turned to him, he smiled. It was really her, the universe must be bringing them together.

"Amy, What are you doing here?" He asked while sipping from his drink casually.

Arianna stared at the newcomer intensely, unlike Katrina's and Zoey's boyfriend, this man looked more human than them, she noticed that their boyfriends are huge and had muscles that she feared would rip their shirt off from their bodies.

Amaya rolled her eyes before answering. "What do you do in clubs, Mason?" Jason and Zoey tried to stifle their laugh but couldn't, so they ended up giggling childishly.

The guy, who was Mason, blushed, scratching his head shyly. Arianna giggled at his shy face, he looked so cute.

"Ahem… Amy, can I talk to you for a minute or two." He asked nervously. He wasn't sure if his question would be given a positive reply, so he waited and alas, he wasn't wrong.

"I'm sorry, I can't. I'm dying to see the prince who Kat wouldn't stop babbling about." He gulped at her straight denial, shaking his head. Arianna giggled again watching their drama, they were so cute, and she wouldn't be bored just watching them all day.

"Okay. But If he comes and when you've seen him, can I speak with you?" He asked again and Amaya sighed.

"Yeah." She begrudgingly said, Mason stared at her for a minute before returning to his table not too far from theirs.

"Girl, you're such a heartless bitch; putting that innocent, cute guy on a hot seat. He likes you, and you know he does, and maybe in that little heart of yours you also do. Here's my advice for you, give him a chance babe, okay, you tell me where on this earth have you seen someone who has been trying to court a girl for three years." Kat scoffed, turning her head to the other side. One could see clearly that she was angry, she didn't understand Amaya, she loves him, and he does; so what's stopping her from giving it a go. She knew Amaya feared opening up to him, she was scared of him knowing her secret, and then he'll run for the hills.

Arianna gasped as she heard that, the hell for three f*cking years, and she wasn't giving him a chance.

"What!" Amaya yelled, sighing, she was already tired of the chat. They should just drop it.

"He has been trying to court you for three years, and you're acting like that with him?" She asked with wide eyes, she hadn't seen someone who could be so loyal, that even though they weren't dating he wasn't cheating on her. With the little she has seen from him, she knows he was too shy to approach another girl, and the way he looks at Amaya tells another story.

"Yeah, why?"

"Then why aren't you giving him a chance to date you, to get to know you better. I don't know him well, but what I saw in his eyes tells me that he loves you and will keep in fighting for you." She added, and Kat smirked; as if she were asking her to go on.

"I don't know, he's always shy and all that, but that makes him cute." Amy has a dreamy smile while saying that, like she was picturing a shy Mason in her head.

"Then give him a chance!" Kat and Arianna chorused.

"Okay, okay, I've heard you guys. I'll hear him out today and maybe accept his proposal," Arianna clapped her hands happily, drawing Amaya's attention to her.

"Since when did you become a love expert." She teased, making Arianna blushed.

"Yeah Ria, you don't have a boyfriend, but you know so much about love…." Kat trailed and gasped loudly, putting her hand on her chest.

"What!" She asked, staring directly into her eyes.

"Oh my god, this thought just got to me. Since you don't have a boyfriend, then that means you're a Virgin, right?" Katrina whispers in a hush tone and if Arianna and Amaya weren't close enough they wouldn't have gotten what she said.

Arianna blushed beet red at the question, gosh, Kat was truly shameless.

"Really, how old are you?"

Twisting her lips, Arianna answered, "I'm Twenty One."

"Really?" Kat asked in disbelief. One look at her, you'll guess she was an eighteen-Nineteen girl, not twenty-one.

"I thought you were Nineteen, you look so young." She giggled, shaking her head, this wasn't the first time and maybe not the last she would hear such from people. Back home, some people consider her as a teenager, because of her baby face.

"Welcome to the club, girl." She was suddenly engulfed in a hug and as they pulled apart, she asked.

"What club?"

"The virgins club, these girls are not a member because they've gotten their V-cards broken since ages ago." Kat winked at her while Zoey stuck her tongue out.

"Thank you then, president." They burst into laughter and only stop laughing when Matthew returned.

"You're back bae, where's the prince?"

"He will be here in a m....." he was interrupted as another walked to their table.

"Sorry man, that was my sister." He apologized with a smile and the girls swooned, well, except Arianna, of course.

"No problem, have a seat." Matthew gestured with his hand to a seat beside him, but the prince decided to seat next to her. Arianna felt like making herself small when she saw his face clearly, he was the same guy she bumped into. Gosh, this so embarrassing, she whispered, dropping her head down, so he wouldn't see her. She couldn't believe she said all those things to the prince, thinking about biting his lips. She groaned and spanked her head, what's he going to do? Was he going to sue her for sexual harassment? She was so,so doomed.
