Chapter 18

After that night when Pia told James about Paul and her, James took off to a nearest bar he could find.

Pia sighed as James closed the mansion's door hard.

"I know he's not happy," Pia whispered.

When Paul heard it from the other side of his door, he went out to comfort Pia.

Pia looked up to see who it was and when she saw that it was Paul, she bursted out crying as she ran up to his arms.

"He's not happy," Pia whispered.

"No, you heard him. He's proving that he's happy by letting you go," Paul replied.

"No, I don't believe him. I know he's not happy. How can he be happy? I just hurt his feelings," Pia said sobbing.

"No, no," Paul replied as he rub Pia's back.

Soon; Haley, Naima and Lauren came back from roaming around the city.

Haley saw Pia and Paul hugging and she heard Pia sobbed.

"Oh my gosh, Naima. I think something's wrong up there," Haley told Naima as she points at Paul and Pia.

"Yeah, C'mon, let's find out," Naima said as they ascend the stairs.

As Pia saw Lauren, Naima and Haley, Pia went straight to Naima.

"Pia Ann Rose Toscano, what's wrong?" Naima asked using her full name.

"I think James is mad at me," Pia said.

"Again?" Naima asked surprisingly.

"Yeah, I told him that it isn't him who I like then he said he was happy but I can see it in his eyes that he's not," Pia explained.

"I'll talk to him, don't worry. By the way, where is he?" Naima asked as she looked around.

"I don't know. He went somewhere," Pia replied.

James was wandering around the city, crying when he saw a good looking bar.

"I might want to try this one," James whispered.

And so, he went inside.

Inside, their was a big disco ball hanging in the middle of the room. Liquor, tequilas, beers, cocktails, wines; all are lined up in a bar behind the bartender.

There were numerous booths but all are already filled out. A cigarette room by the corner, a loud pop rock music banging from the speakers, gangster DJ's and a lot of dancing people around.

James went straight to the beverages area and sat there.

A pretty waitress came up to James and asked him what he wants.

"I'll have a beer, please," James said without looking up.

"Coming right up, sir," the pretty waitress said.

After a couple of seconds, there was already a bottle of beer served in front of James.

James looked up a little but didn't bother to look at the waitress' face. All he saw was her name tag pinned in her left chest.

"Thanks, Heidi," James said.

"You're welcome, sir," Heidi replied with a smile.

Heidi went into the back of the bar and saw a friend of her, Mia, smiling at her.

"Who is that?" Mia asked pointing at James.

"Hmm..I know what you're thinking. I am not interested," Heidi replied shaking her head.
