Met you in Chicago

Twelfth floor (2)

**Erez

"Yow man, why don't we hang out this tomorrow?" My friend suggested, "Hang out by yourself" I walked out of the room.

"Where you going Man?" A loud voice following behind.

"drink" I answered in a uninterested tone.

"At this hour? It's almost midnight dude"

Annoyed, "Then why don't you tuck yourself in your bed" I said loudly that made him jump. "If you're just going to annoy me Belle, go home"

This dude following me is my friend, Belle Katz Madden, he's annoying but trustworthy. I've known him since we were kids his attitude didn't change one bit.

"Atleast let me drink with you Erez"

And I'm Erez Keith Williams people describes me as cold, rich, and handsome, honestly that's how I would also describe myself but the opposite of cold but I gotta admit that i'm easily annoyed.

When I entered the bar I saw a familiar figure from afar, alone.

I sat on the table on the corner that lights don't reach well. The waiter came up to me to ask what would I like.

"One of my usual and one Mimosa for that lady over there" Pointing at the table near the window.

"What about yours Mr. Madden?"

"I'll take tequila", The waiter turned his back on us.

"Are you hitting on her? Is she your type?" Belle curiously asked, "No and no, I know her that's all" I faced the table and leaned forward, Belle just hummed and didn't ask further.

I noticed that she's talking to someone through her phone, she looked shock while staring at her lit up device but the phone call ended shortly.

The waiter came back serving our ordered drinks, "Here's your Whiskey Mr.Williams and tequila for you Mr.Madden, i'll be serving the mimosa to the lady in a minute Sir" I grabbed my wallet from my vest, pulling out my black card.

"Don't you have cash dude? It's only $128"

"I don't carry cash, why would I bother carrying cash if I have a card" He chuckled from my reply. The waiter came back from the counter and gave back my card, he made his way to the table by the window, I saw him pointing to where we are sitting.

He shook his head on the way back carrying the drink that I bought for her, indicating that she declined my offer. I was annoyed that she rejected my offer that made me confront her.

She was gazing at her phone when she noticed my shadow getting closer, this made her look up to me.

"Mr. Williams, what are you doing here?" She welcomed me with a question, looking at her deep brown eyes I saw that she was shocked. "I should be the one asking you that, you didn't even accepted the drink that I ordered for you" I unconsciously said due to my annoyed mood.

"I just want to relax, that's why I came here and I don't accept drinks that I can afford naman" She said.

I asked her wether I'm a stranger to her but she didn't answer, that made my blood boil. I grabbed her jaw making her face me, looking straight into her deep brown eyes.

"Am I a stranger to you Ms.Valladores?" I repeated my question with an angry tone that made people look at our direction.

"No, but can you please let go" She pushed away my hand so I decided to let her go.

"That's good Stephanny" I sat next to her Giving her the drink that I ordered, waiting wether she's gonna accept or not. I asked if she wanted another Margarita as I noticed the empty glass of Margarita on the table, she shook her head.

She took the drink from my hand and drank it in one gulp, she shocked me.

"You're better than I thought Stephanny" but she didn't reply. 'Did this girl really just a glass of Mimosa and slept' I thought to myself.

Belle came to the table where Stephanny occupied, "Dude I just went to the bathroom and you've already got a chick laying on your lap" causing me to let out a chuckle.

I finished my drink while talking to Belle as Stephanny slept deeply on my lap. I ordered Belle to ask the front desk what room Stephanny was staying at, when he got it I found the key card in Stephanny's right pocket.

"Why're you touching a sleep woman dude" Belle jokingly said, I gave him a serious stare causing him to shut his mouth.

I carried Stephanny in a bridal carry, 'You're sleeping so deeply, sweetie' I managed to put Stephanny in her bed successfully without waking her up.

"Sleep well Princess" I murmured kissing her forehead.

When I went her hotel room 'What did I just do' I dazed thinking that I made a mistake.
