2 Chapter 2: "You better stop that or else..."

I pouted my lips and tried my best to produce some tear in my eyes, "Papa, please," I sat in front of him then grabbed both of his hands and locked it with my palms, "Pretty please? All my friends will be there, plus it is Josh's birthday party. I have to be there in my bestfriend's birthday, so, please papa," I pouted more and gave him my most pleading look.

I suppressed my smile when I felt that he is about to give up because he sighed and stared at me for awhile, "Okay, fine. But," I was about to hug him tight but he interrupted me and pointed something or rather someone from my back,"You have to bring Mister McKenzie with you."

"But papa—"

"No buts," he shooked his head then stared at me as if challenging me, "Unless, you wanna stay here tonight and say sorry to your friend," he said with finality that made my happy face into sad one.

"Aish, okay, okay. Fine!" I stood and hugged him tight, "I love you, papa! You're the best!" I said giggling that made him chuckle but the moment I let him go and face the man I hate the most, my eyes shoot him daggers.

We battled with our stares but I was the one who chose to divert her eyes first. His stares are so irritating because I do not have any idea of what he feel while looking at me. His gazes could give you chills because it looks like he is scanning you thoroughly with coldness in his eyes.

This guy better ask a doctor if he is still normal because he is getting creepy day by day!

"You stay here and never come near me," I instructed him as I gestured him to sit on one of the sofas here in John's visitor's area, because there is no way I'll let him be with me while I'm partying!

"We better proceed to the pool area," he said while straightly looking at my eyes that made me gulp, but there is no way I will let him control me so I crossed my arms below my breasts and raised a brow at him.

"No," I said with glim, "You have to stay put here! There is no way that i will let a dog following me while I am having fun!" I growled but he just took a step towards my direction that made me step back and raise my head a little to not let our stares apart.

He lowered down his upper body to make our faces almost touch together, "Start walking or we'll go home now?" he asked with his stoic face that made me take two steps backward to get away from him.

"Stop doing that will you?!" I stomped my feet and glared at him but he just shrugged his shoulders, "Stop putting your face near mine! Don't you know that I am allergic to dogs?!" I gritted my teeth when he didn't give me any reaction even I am calling him a dog and just stared at me, "Fine! Just don't be too obvious that I am with you! We should be 15 meters apart!"

I didn't bother to wait for his response and just flipped my hair while turning around. I better go to my friends than stay with him here arguing for nothing. And just like what I though, the people are already having fun when we arrived at the pool area.

I roamed around my eyes to find the star of the night and saw him together with our girl friends. I grabbed a glass when a waiter passed by me. I took a sip and tasted the bittersweet taste of a cocktail then waved my hand when John's eyes met mine.

"Oh my baby is here! Hi, Gail!" he cheerfully said then gave me a hug and cheek to cheek kisses when I came near him, "Your bodyguard never fail to make me wet girl," he whispered that made me pinch him while warning him through my eyes, but he just chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Happy birthday sissy! How is my birthday boy?" he lightly smocked my shoulders because of what I called him, "Ooops, I'm sorry okay?" I said chuckling then greeted our friends in this table, "Hey, girls. What's up?" I asked while we exchanged hugs and kisses.

"You brat! You did not inform us that you'll transfer this school year! We thought you are only joking when you said that it is your last year in our university," Kacy Stanford said while gesturing the seat beside her for me to sit.

"Well it is not my fault anymore, at least I did inform you all," I countered that made them roll their eyes at me.

"And because you left, that George the jerk did not stop bothering us and asking why you are not with us or why did you transfer school," Venies added with gritted teeth that made me laugh.

"Girl, calm down. The jerk might says that he is looking for me but I am a hundred percent sure that it is not me that he wants to see," what I said made her frown while we, three, laugh at her face.

"Eww, bitch stop that! There is no way that—"

"That what?" I challenged her that made her stop for awhile to recall what she was about to say.

"Argh! Nevermind! Okay, bitches it is not my birthday party so you better stop putting me into this hotseat," she said surrending and took a gulp on her drink.

"Sis, it is fine with me as long as it could help you to have someone who could water your flower already!" we all laugh at John's statement while the latter coughed with her drink then raised her middle finger to us while recovering.

As the night went on, the crowd grew wild, "BODY SHOT! BODY SHOT!" we all shouted as we watch the birthday celebrant frowning to the girl in front of him.

"SIS DON'T LET US DOWN!" I shouted at the top of my lungs then coughed a little bit and felt that the world is spinning.

'Oh men, I think I am drunk already' I said to myself while giggling and messaging my temple.

"WOOOHH! INTENSE!" the crowd cheered when the two started to exchange kisses but immediately stopped when the bell rang as they run out of time.

"So who's next?! Any volunteer?!" the emcee asked that made the crowd go wilder.

"ME! ME! ME!" I shouted with raising hand so the crowd made a way for me to walk by but when I was about to walk towards the stage-like area someone held my arm tight and dragged me out of that place.

"What the..." I tried to pull my arm back and stopped from walking, "Hey! Let me go! I want to try that! OMG! I miss doing that! Gosh, Let me go!" I protest when he did not let go of my hand but stopped from walking and faced me.

"You will never ever do that again, missy," he gruffed and grabbed both of my shoulders to come near my face, "We are going home now. You had enough, you're already drunk," I flinched when I felt that his palms are caging me but I did not let him win.

"No! I don't! I am just starting can't you see?! I can handle myself so let me go!" I punched and pushed his chest to get away from his hold but to no avail, my body is so weak already and my head is spinning, "Argh you dog! Let me go! I wanna go back there and have some fun!"

"We are going home now," he said then grab my right arm to drag me again but because I am born with a thick skull, I held to the main door knock tightly.

"No! I'm not coming home tonight! I already told papa that I'll sleep here!" I am very proud of myself because I still manage to speak clearly despite of all the alcohol I drunk.

He looked back at me and gave me a bored look before he sighed and carefully removed my hold to the knob with force. The next thing I knew is my feet is already in the air and he is carrying me like a newlywed. After being shocked to his sudden move I clung my arms around his shoulder and rested my face on his neck giggling.

I don't know what spirit came in me but I found myself sniffing his manly scent. I bit my lips to stop myself from the idea that popped to my mind but my body already did the move, I licked his neck that made him stop and groaned, so I looked him up only to be welcomed by his blazing eyes.

"You better stop that or else..."
