Mixed Magic - ch.1

"I don't know...h-he cheated on me and betrayed me a second time now. I feel like a fool."

"No don't say that. He's a douchebag to even do that to you."

I watched as my friend and my sister have sensitive girl-talk with each other. We were sitting at a dark corner in a booth of the bar. Sitting on the stools was a group of guys. One which seemed to notice me in the dark corner and keeps glancing at me. The reason why we were here was to help our friend move on but when we had fun for a bit, Nasha's ex-bf came in with his new girlfriend.

I patted my sister's shoulder and walked towards the doors. I needed a breather. I walk out into the balcony part of the building and listened to the piano music. Then I heard someone sit on the seat in front of me. I lazily opened my eyes and noticed that it was a someone I hooked up with before. I nicknamed her Shy Emy.

"Hey, how are you honey?"

She looks up from her bangs and quickly looked down at her lap. There was a blush forming as she replied.

"G-good."

"That's great. How's your boyfriend or should I say ex-boyfriend now?"

Shy Emy had met me by accident when she tried to go to the restroom one time. I thought she was pretty cute so I helped her get into the restroom. After that she had a crush on me and hanged near me whenever she saw that I was alone. She told me her story of how she thinks she's lesbian and had a boyfriend because he was a great guy that had asked her out. But she wasn't in love with him so she was conflicted of what to do.

I told her to tell the truth and leave the guy. Leading such a man on is bad and it'll hurt the guy on the long run. She left afterwards as a friend helped her home. We had shared contacts and from then on she had became texting buddies with me.

"He's well. We ended the relationship as just friends. Although we are a bit awkward with each other, he still says hi to me whenever we see each other."

"That's good. I think I have seen him around here before.With his guy friends."

We spoke for awhile more before she had to leave and take her very drunk friend home. I turned towards the streets and see a group of girls having fun as they entered their shared apartment home.

"Miss Rose, why you don't be with boyfriend? Sitting so far away."

The asian waitress asked with a sweet smile. I knew her from when I first became a usual at the restaurant bar.

"Who are you talking about Ms. Fan?"

I was confused as I asked her.

"Oh, you not dating? Breakup? Last time I saw you, you with him. You look the happiest I ever see you."

She pointed at the guy that had gave me glances before. He was still inside with his friends and soon turn his head and saw me look at him. He gave me a smile and told his friends something before getting up from his seat and going towards me. I was a sitting duck as there was complete confusion on my face.

"Hey Elsie. Did you get home safely?"

Home? Questions continued to pop up in my head as I try to remember where I have met or what I did with this man. He saw my confusion and chuckled.

"You don't remember right?"

I slowly nodded my head as I looked at him.

"Well, you were pretty drunk then. You bumped into me as you walked out of here. I caught you from falling and then you didn't let go and I had to take you home."

"Oh...i'm sorry."

"It's okay. You didn't let go even after I got you into your home and so I stayed on the couch with you until you fell asleep."

He laughed as he told me what had happened. I started to remember parts of the story. Then I thought of us kissing. I told my brain to get out of the gutter and tried to hide my blush. It was getting late so he asked if I had a ride. I looked at my messages and saw that the others had already gone home.

"Are you sure? What about your friends?"

"They can have fun with each other. I'm just here because of them."

He walked with me as we got to the entrance. I froze when I saw that dude.

"What's wrong?"

He whispered in my ear as he noticed my action. He looked towards the direction of where I was looking.

"That bastard! He's cheating on his current girlfriend too!"

"That's serious, what do you want to do?"

I thought for a bit and planned to tell his girlfriend. I took a photo with my phone and sent it to my connections to sent it to his current girlfriend. We then left and went home.

"Thank you…"

"Oops, I'm Sylas."

He said as I couldn't seem to remember his name from my drunken state, last time.

"Nice to meet you Sylas. So do you live close? Or far, cause I'll feel so horrible if you did."

"I'm a few floors above you. No worries."

He chuckled at my worrying state. He gave me his number and then left to his room. I really liked Sylas and I think I have a crush on him already. I showered and went to bed. This night, I had a dream.
