"Is that her?"

"Yes girl, her outfit really suits her slutty personality."

I turned my head to them and gave away a sweet smile. But in return, they just glare at me, ohh, insecure bitches eh?

Yes, I am currently wearing a bloody red tank top and black mini skirt that matches my curly brown hair and porcelain skin, plus a pair of killer boots as well as smokey eyes and maroon lips to give a punch on my ever-gorgeous-angelic face.

I just love hearing those side comments from them. I mean really? C'mon, am I that famous? Oh well, that's life. I am used to it. Everywhere I go there will always be 'bees that are buzzing around'. I went to the table next to the bar counter.

"Hey Ella, stunning as always?" Cassie, my bestfriend said to me. Sitting next to her is Robi, her boyfriend for the past 5 years. Honestly, I'm quite jealous because they make a great couple. I am also looking forward for a guy just like Rob, but unfortunately I ended up with a douchebag who left me hanging in the air.

"What's new?" I just gave her a smirk. I sit down, then grab the whiskey that is on the table.

"Wow, are you that thirsty?"

"Isn't it obvious? By the way, where is Ana? I thought she will be here to celebrate her birthday with us?"

"Hold you horses, El. She called a couple of minutes ago, and said that she will be late due to 'unwanted' visitor'." Rob said before standing up and excusing himself 'cause he's going to pee.

"Unwanted visitor?" I asked Cassie but I got nothing from her. She just frowned at me. What the hell is going on?

I was about to ask her again but I saw Ana waving at us, next to her is a familiar silhouette.

So, that's the reason why the both of them were acting weird a while ago. They didn't tell me that the 'unwanted visitor' was none other than my EX. How wonderful isn't it?

"Hey girls!" She greeted and tap my right shoulder with her eyes saying 'act-naturally'. Silence covered the atmosphere when suddenly Cassie broke the ice, thank God. "Oh, look who's here. The bitch has finally arrived, fresh from NYC. It's so nice of you to celebrate your birthday here in Manila."

Ana giggled a bit, "Hush dear, of course I would want to celebrate here. And besides being in New York for 3 years is already a total meltdown. All I did was to shop, eat and sleep, over and over again."

Both of them are really enjoying each other's company, I, on the other hand is still in shock of what am I seeing at the back of Ana. Since when did he came back? Am I that worthless for him not to tell me some of his plans? He doesn't even care about my presence. It's like I am not here. He's really a douchebag.

After a while Rob arrived, "Hey dude." Looking at 'him'

I am not loving the ambiance in here so I decided to leave.

"Where are you off to Ella?" Ana asked. All eyes are pinned on me.

"Oh, finally! You have noticed that I am still in here." My voice is full of sarcasm and I gave a fake laugh.

"Quit acting like a child El." I was shocked. Not only me, but all of them as well.

"You talk? I thought you were just a piece of junk standing." I roll my eyes heavenwards.

Another complete silence filled in.

"Guys, come on. Can we just enjoy the night?"

"Well, apparently Cass, my night was just ruined when 'someone' popped up out of nowhere." Then, I look at Ana.

"Happy Birthday! Sorry if I kinda have PMS tonight." I hugged her lightly, trying not to ruin my curly hair.

"I understand. Maybe soon we'll go shopping together?"

She hugged me back, "Sure, I love that idea."

After that I walked away. I'm mad to that two love partners. They didn't even tell me that I will be seeing 'him' and obviously they both did that on purpose because they knew that I would not be attending tonight's get together if they will inform me that.

3 years had passed but my feelings for him didn't change. I missed him so much. Things got a lot messier when I met him, especially when he left me.
