Playlist - De Una Vez by Selena Gomez
Luna
I'd reached a point in my life where it was necessary I maintained my sensible life strategies, yet somehow I always failed. This time I'd shoved all my restraint to a corner and accepted Gabriella's party invitation.
The knowledge that Ares Torrance will be there--the person I'd spent my days avoiding--played the part of convincing me to attend the party. His presence, his close proximity was unquestionably going to test me.
I had never trusted a man, confided in a man, and given myself to a man and yet that was exactly Ares was making me do, unbeknownst to me. It's astonishing how much master manipulator Ares was. He still is.
I don't know what I will achieve by showing myself at an unwanted place. Parties are not typically my scene. Last time I went to a party my fate collided with Ares. Since then, his forest eyes, overpowering presence remained a constant in my life.
A lot has happened since then. I don't want to recall everything, but the only good thing about it was, Ares.
I had stupidly fallen in love with him, I wholeheartedly wish I hadn't. I could have continued to be with him without letting emotions interfere with a great thing going on. Still, the Being frightened that he would eventually leave me with a scarred heart was like a nagging constant in the back of my mind.
It would be selfish of me to sacrifice my permanent happiness for his momentary bliss. Yet in the deep pit of my heart I wanted to be wrong about him, wished that he would do the unexpected and say those magical words to me.
The humiliation of being proved wrong is being drowned out by the hurt. I felt nothing but crippling hurt. It's been the longest three days without him. It also took a lot of restraint to block his calls and messages.
I didn't know what he needed from me. Maybe to rub the fact that I was missing out on a great thing by bringing girly feelings into it. Fuck him!
This was my chance at retribution. He broke my heart by discarding my feelings and now I will play with his strings by displaying even I can be indifferent to the act of intimacy.
I felt brash and brave, probably because of the glass of wine that I drank from my aunt's collection before leaving my place.
I was at the address that Gabriella gave me. I didn't ride my bicycle, obviously. Thanks to Uber, I was able to get to her home without any hurdle. Gabriella shared the same neighbourhood as Chase, Ares, it was ten times classier than the one I lived in.
Not that my neighbourhood was anything bad. There were beautiful houses, parks, greenery, children could freely ride their bicycle and play late in the evening. It was a jovial place. But nothing compared to theirs.
My uber car stood at the sixteen foot elegant metal gate, I entered the code and the gate hummed as it swung open, and my car slowly descended the street.
After a few houses, my uber car turned into Gabriella's driveway and curved around the loop in front of his door. Before hopping out, I checked my reflection in the mirror.
I combed my fingers through my hair allowing them to look stylishly messy, applying a little lip balm on my red coated lips, righting my silver turtle neck blouse and black faux leather mini skirt.
Calming my nerves, I managed to get out of the car. I clenched my hands, trying to get psyched up. I still wasn't sure what my plan here was, but as usual, I dove head first and acted like I knew what I was doing.
Get a grip, Luna.
A cool edm track greeted my ears as I strutted inside the house. There was a doorman who kept track of people entering, stopping people who appeared suspicious to him.
