I sat a bit tipsy but still gulping down wine as Hoshi spoke of his travels. He was apparently a huge fan of going to new places and trying new foods. I know for a fact if I were sober this stories would be interesting or slightly amusing to me.
Taking another huge gulp of the wine I smirking as Nick's eye's land on me. I was already staring at my husband who was too busy laughing with his ex to notice. I lift my glass in his direction still smirking at him, Nick on the other hand grins at me doing the same with his glass.
"Wow! You are really not paying attention are you?" Hoshi pretends to be offended placing a hand on his heart.
I turn to Hoshi. "I'm sorry…gosh I'm a little drunk to be honest." I can't help but laugh at the silly condition I'm in.
"I'm sorry Hoshi. Your Thailand trip sounds amazing."
He shakes his head with a huge smile on his face. "It was great but you probably don't want to hear about that right now."
"…You're kinda right."
"I think you need a glass of water. Stay here okay?" said Hoshi as he got up.
"Yes please. Water!" I clap happily.
"I'll be back."
"Cool!" I said watching him walk away.
His trip to Thailand sounded great. He said he met this gorgeous woman who made him think love at first sight was real. Hoshi also told me he wanted to elope with her. Honestly I'm proud of myself for remembering all that.
"Hi."
I look up to see who that deep voice belonged to. The man was muscular, dressed in all black with a lip piercing. He had a full sleeve of tattoos which honestly looked cool.
"I think that's cool." I point at his arm causing him to smile.
"May I sit here?" He asked pointing at the empty spot beside me. I smile nodding. There's no reason he can't, isn't this a party after all?
He sits surprisingly leaving no space between us. I smile although I felt a bit uncomfortable at the closeness.
"I'm Aaron Lim from Chicago." He said breaking the silence.
"Oh…I…I'm…wait." What the hell is my name again?
"Don't tell me you actually forgot your own name." He starts laughing uncontrollably.
"Aaron…I think I did!" I giggle at the thought. I hit him playfully. "It's not funny!"
"No…I can't stop laughing."
I roll my eyes scoffing. "Whatever."
He stops laughing suddenly moving closer as if that's even possible and whispers. "I don't need to know your name to know I'm taking you home."
His facial expression turns from friendly to a creepy smirk that he probably thinks looks attractive.
This guy seemed nice. What the fuck is that?!
"I think you should go." I tell him annoyed.
"Are you upset baby?"
"Who the hell are you calling baby. Dude go."
He suddenly touches my exposed thigh making me cringe in disgust. He begins rubbing my thigh trying to kiss me too.
"Bab-"
Aaron is unable to complete his sentence when he is yanked from his seat by the collar.
"Why the fuck were you touching her Aaron?!" Nick looks pissed as he glares at the other man.
"Dude she said I could sit beside her!"
"Did she say you could touch her?"
Nick kick his ass for me. It seemed like he was about to do just that when Hoshi came running to stop whatever was about to happen.
"Guys? What is going on?"
Aaron choses to answer first. "I was flirting with this chick and Nick is acting fucking crazy"
Nick punches him shocking everyone. I smile relieved that he did what I was planning on doing myself.
"Nick!"
"Aaron apologize to my wife right now!" He kicks the guy but is stopped.
"Nick no!"
Sana rushes to Nick who tries to beat Aaron more. She pulls him away from Aaron who had a busted lip.
"Let's not take this further." She pleads looking at him.
"He has to apologize to my wife first." Nick sternly said.
Hoshi runs to my side as others help the fool Aaron.
"What did Aaron do?"
"He touched me inappropriately and tried to kiss me."
Hoshi looks pissed almost immediately. "Fuck. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone drunk for so long."
I pat his head turning my gaze to Nick. "He is the one who was supposed to be by my side. Not you. You're not at fault in anyway."
Nick hears this I could tell by the way his eyes fill with guilt. I know what I said was cruel but Nick really did abandon me since we came here. And when I say here I'm not sure if I'm talking about this party or Japan.
"Here. The water drink this." Hoshi quickly hands me the glass. "I ran into a few old friends in the kitchen so I took long. Sorry."
"No worries." I gulp down the water. Sana goes to talk to Aaron who leaves as soon as she is finished.
"Hoshi. May I have a word with my wife?"
"Sure. Go upstairs to talk…my room is sound proof after all." He jokes laughing.
"Sammy?"
"Fine."
I go upstairs first luckily knowing where the room is. Hoshi had showed me his gorgeous bedroom during the house tour.
I enter the all white bedroom choosing to stand so that nothing gets messed up in such a gorgeous space.
I hear the door close as I faced the huge window that showed the gorgeous view of the night lights.
"I'm sorry Sam."
"Nick don't apologize especially when both of us know our situation."
"I know our situation Sammy…that's why I think it's best we remain…the way we agreed to be."
"I accept your apology. Now can this conversation end?" I didn't dare face him as tears welled up.
I hear him taking steps towards me. "Stop!" He immediately stops.
"Don't get closer."
"I…I think you should go back home."
"Drive me back then…you can come back afterwards."
"No. I mean. To New York."
I didn't want to let him see me but those words shock me so much I had to see his face to see if this man was serious or joking.
"What?"
"I think…we both can't handle this."
"Nick what the hell is wrong with you?!"
He doesn't respond pissing me off more. "Nick I am here because of you! You told me to come here!"
"I know! Now I want you gone!"
"Nick I'm not your fucking pet!" "You can't use me like this-"
"I just want you out of my life!" Nick shouted coldly.
"…Nick."
He sighs heavily running a hand through his hair in frustration. "You just don't understand."
"No. I really do!"
"No. Sammy-"
Running past him I run to the door leaving without a second thought. If Nick wants me gone then so be it!
