A Sweet Transaction

Chapter 10: Relationship

Nia POV

Compared to normal clubs that are rowdy, loud and noisy, this place was a bit tamer than that. There were still people in the dancefloor, but there were much more by the bars.

I don't know how to explain it... the ambience, decoration and how the whole place was set up was just so elegant.

I remained poker-faced as Ate Bree let out her wild self and got lost dancing in the dancefloor, already surrounded by several boys.

I admit that I am a party pooper. I don't really like dancing. The reason I went here in the first place is just to look pretty, feel pretty and catch up with a friend.

After a while, I gave up trying to keep a watch on Ate Bree and decided to walk out of the dancefloor so I could have some peace drowning myself in alcohol by the bar.

However, just while I was about to walk out, a pair of strong arms pulled me and forced me to face them.

"Hey... going already?" the man murmured.

I immediately furrowed my brows and moved away my arm from his hold. Looking at the guy, he was not that bad. He was a Caucasian man who looked like he was at least 6 ft tall. He had dark blue eyes and brown hair, making him look more enticing.

"Yeah. I can't dance." I said in a nonchalant voice.

The man continued his smirk and laughed at my carefree attitude.

"Is that so? Then you wanna go to the bar?"

"Yeah."

"I'm Daniel, by the way." he said, looking at me intently as he laid out his hand.

"Hey. I'm Nia-" I replied as I smiled at him.

However, while I was about to accept his handshake, someone took my hand away and came in between me and Daniel.

I looked at that person and it was none other than Raffaello! What the hell! What is he even doing here!?

Raffaello wasn't even looking at me. He looked so pissed while looking at the man I was just talking to.

"Mate, this is my girl you're trying to hit on." Raffaello said sternly.

Daniel, the guy I briefly talked to, showed a confused expression at first but it quickly transitioned into a relaxed one. He forced a smile at Raffaello.

"Oh, is that so? No worries mate, cheers. Sorry for the trouble." he said, walking away.

I watched Daniel as he walked away. Somehow, I feel pissed at what Raffaello did. And declaring that I'm "his girl"? He must be insane! We are just fuck buddies and nothing more than that.

"Tss." Raffaello murmured as he saw where my eyes were directed to.

I rolled my eyes at him and walked away, comforting myself by sitting in one of the lounges.

I wasn't even surprised when damned Raffaello followed me and took a sit right next to me.

"Do you like attention that much?"

I glared at Raffaello as he remarked that rude question.

"What the heck?"

Raffaello's eyes were furious as he stared at me. I could tell that he was probably trying to control his anger as well.

"Did you even notice that the guy earlier was trying to dry hump you? You are so careless! If you're trying to meet other guys, at least not that one. Everyone who knows him here knows he's a trash and spreads chlamydia like a rabbit!"
