The dress Azure made me wear was a pretty A-line floral printed and it hugs my body perfectly. I like that it came from my favorite shop in Italy, Augustine.
After taking a shower in his pristine bathroom - mind you, it has its own jacuzzi! -, I got dressed and just let my hair dry in the air. Azure also has a complete set of feminine hygiene and makeup kits. I wonder how many women he brings here every day. I would have known that the private beach was occupied sooner and I'd be saved from this situation.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, the asshole was nowhere in sight. I let myself wander into the huge living room in search of the kitchen. I was hungry as hell and because he kidnapped me, it's his job to feed me. The kitchen wasn't that hard to find, it was luxurious like the rest of the house. Marble countertops were so shiny that I could even see my reflection. His two-door fridge was fully stocked from fruits to frozen food ready for heating up and ice creams and chocolate.
There was even lasagna! I love anything pasta.
Taking the crystal glass food storage, it almost slipped out of my hand when I saw Azure leaning against the refrigerator, just two feet away from me.
His brows shoot up, his dark sapphire orbs gaze at me accusingly.
''I haven't had breakfast'' as if on cue, my stomach grumbled. Azure chuckled which only infuriated me. ''Are you making fun of me? You practically drag me back here so you have to feed me!''
He closed in the distance between us but I'm not backing down. I can take him down even if he was twice as big as my body.
''I'll feed you anything you want, Red'' he leaned down, his lips brushing against my ears. ''Even if you want to eat me, I'll gladly feed you.''
My blood boiled at his cockiness. This man was just so full of himself that his ego was bigger than Russia!
''You know what?'' I shoved the food storage in his chest, ''here. I'm not hungry anymore. My stomach won't accept anything from-'' he cut me off placing his forefinger on my lips.
''Shh…'' Azzure shakes his head, ''you're pretty like a harmless rose but you become a dragon when you open that mouth of yours.'' I stood dumbfounded as he walked past me. ''Now take a seat and I'll just heat this up.''
Turning around, I huffed, ''I told you-'' I stopped talking when my stomach grumbled again. Traitor!
Azure chuckled once again, ''coffee?''
Stomping like a child, sat on a stool and placed my chin on my closed knuckles.
''Red?''
''What!?''
''Coffee'' the infuriating man beamed, pushing a cup of coffee in front of me.
''Thanks'' I placed cream and sugar on my coffee, sipping it silently.
''Don't be mad. It's still early and you're already mad at me'' he pouted his lips.
Azure was an attractive guy, any girl in my position would jump in any opportunity to be around him without thinking twice. His blue eyes were as deep as the ocean that holds so much emotion in them. His pinkish lips were naturally full as if someone just kissed the life out of him. His jaw and nose were Greek god-like and his biceps and toned muscles were bulging out of his gray fitted shirt.
''I'm sorry'' I admit. I knew I was being unfair to him. He didn't even do anything ungentlemanly towards me but I was being a bítch for no apparent reason.
Azure smiled showing his bleach white teeth, ''it's okay. I kind of give that 'kumag' vibe most of the time.''
I giggled lightly, I can't believe he actually looked it up. I only learned that word from the one time I overheard a Filipina talking to her phone angrily one time.
We had breakfast over a light conversation about safe topics. I didn't ask any personal questions because I wasn't comfortable talking about my personal life with a stranger.
''Where are we going?'' I asked Azure when he guided me back to the beach. We walked side by side, the wall I built up between us was now slowly crumbling down. Turns out, he wasn't as much of an asshole like I thought.
He scratched the back of his neck, we were now standing on the dock not far from his mansion. A yacht was closing in on us and I can already hear the loud music playing on the speaker with girls giggling and dancing all over the boat.
''It's actually my birthday today'' Azure murmured.
''Oh''
''Yeah. Is it okay if we go for a ride? My friends kinda planned this whole thing''
I looked at the yacht, it wasn't really my scene but I did agree to be with him for a whole day. Studying everyone I can see from afar, I checked if someone looked familiar or not. Most of the people on it were just socialites that must've been here to get Azure's attention.
No one can blame them, he is a fine meat in the eyes of any hungry woman.
''It's fine. Just don't let me mingle with those hookers'' I mocked and Azure agreed.
''They're not my friends. I only have two people in that boat that I trust''
Before I could respond, the yacht docked and Azure placed his hands on my lower back as we boarded in it. I didn't argue with him this time, I allowed him to guide me through the bodies of girls in skimpy bikinis and guys in nothing but swimming trunks as they crowded him with greetings and well wishes.
Those deathly glares the girls gave me only made me want to pull Azure closer, I like taunting these greedy leeches. It gives me satisfaction that they're jealous of where I stood. I'm a bitch, I know.
''Happy birthday, Cal!'' two guys in the deck pulled Azure for one of those brotherly hugs. I immediately recognize them as the friends he was talking about. He patted their backs in return, a missing touch in all those guys we passed by earlier.
He thanked them before Azure introduced me.
''Red?'' the guy named Alfonse raked me from head to toe. He was as good looking as the other guy named Brandon. It's given because they're twins, identical even.
Both have light brown eyes, sharp jaws, and thin lips. Their body was obviously well taken care of. The only difference was Alfonse has blond hair while Brandon has chestnut-colored locks.
''That hot chick who punched you in Sacramento?'' Brandon asked in disbelief.
Azure choked on his beer beside me.
