The aftermath of the alcohol intake from yesterday night club was still showing effect in my body. The slight headache and the constant nausea feeling that kept crawling up my throat. I feel like I could use a smoke but I don't wanna ruin the meeting.

The rushing air that blew across my face as i leaned back into the seat and i started inhaling deeply to settle my system. Rodrigo kept glancing everytime through the rear mirror at me.

He packed in front of the building shortly after. He looked in the mirror again to look at me before turning his head to check my status.

"Should I just postpone it or you are sure you can go ahead with it?"

There he goes again with the unnecessary concern.

I shot him a shut up glare before muttering it's okay and i step out of the car. Marcello's car turn up just in time. I leaned against the car and I pulled out a pack and took out a cigarette, lighting it just in time. I took a deep inhale feeling my body getting back to normal position.

I watch them alighted in hurry, unprepared and even surprised that i arrived early than them. You know, i took the highest shot last night and i still was supposed to still be dead on bed right now, i, surely was surprised at myself. i nearly rolled my eyes.

You are not the only one that is fucking late. Just get it over with.

Two of the bouncers alighted walking over to me and while Marcello and Celine trail behind. I almost took my eyes away from them before i shot my eyes back to Celine and the fucking nonsense that she wore. I trail eyes over her with disgust as she reach my side to tuck her hand under my arm.

"Will you take that disgusting hand off me or should I fucking help you?" I glare hard at her. She look angry and disappointed and she went to stand beside Marcello. It doesn't bother me though.
"Lead the way. We are late already."

I took the private elevator while they all took another one. I was beyond pissed and uncomfortable. If I had known today's meeting would be very early, i wouldn't have spent half the night at the club. I took out another cigarette and light it, inhaling like a man dying of thirst.

I found them waiting at the entrance as i left the elevator_with some of Luca's workers beaming and prying their unsettling eyes on me. It just added to the irritation that has already build in my veins. I forced out a smile hard as i could.

They directed us through the passage leading to the conference room. I couldn't just for this to be over yet.

The bouncers entered first to examine the room, Celine followed while while i trail behind. Marcello told me he forgot something and he hurried back to the parking lot. I entered and i was welcomed with few people standing in waiting and-

And-

What a. . . Beauty! 

The hazel orb eyes staring deeply at me like a fucking scared deer. The hair too, so much matched the eyes. So intimidating and. . . And cute.

Or maybe am seeing things now? Maybe the effect haven't washed off my body yet.

I wasn't seeing things anymore when I saw her bit her lower lip as she lower her eyes to her restless finger. It look so cute as hell. Cute as ever. If not for the fear of looking crazy to others, i would have want nothing than to take her into my arms right now.
