Ace Fernando is everything Emilia strives to avoid.
He's arrogant, a total f*ckboy - he has a new girl on his arm every week - and not to mention, he's devilishly and dangerously handsome.
Emilia won't succumb to his ways, and she certainly isn't ab...
Dedication: to my friend, Jana. She wrote majority of the first three sentences, I added a couple of things but the genius in the first paragraph is all her. I love her dearly and she inspires me to be a better writer everyday. Love you, girl. 💘

The waitress guided us to our table which was situated in the middle of the room. I glanced at Ace momentarily, who's eyes were constantly on me, despite the Redhead whom clutched onto his suit jacket. Laurent must've noticed, because he squeezed my hand and offered me a reassuring smile, which I attempted to return.
Laurent's dark coat billowed out about him when a gust of wind blew. Laurent looked quite dapper in his white dress shirt and slacks, his hair slightly mussed, but I liked it.
'Here's your table for four.' The waitress announced, gesturing to the lavish table in front of us.
'Thanks.' I piped up, as we all slid into our seats, she laid out a menu in front of each of us, before walking away to give us time to decide what we want.
I leaned into Laurent, so I could whisper in his ear, 'Thank you so much for coming.' I whispered softly. 'I owe you.' I added.
Laurent wore a smug smile, to make it seem like I whispered something promiscuous; a teasing glint in his eyes.

'Anything for you, babe.' He replied, gazing into my eyes lovingly, before leaning in to peck my lips.
I could practically feel the tension radiating from Ace. His brow was furrowed, his lip caught between his teeth, and one of his hands was balled into a fist, the knuckles turned white.

When he noticed that I could see his frustration, he quickly covered up, turning his face into an emotionless mask. He slung an arm around Redhead.
'So. How did the two of you meet?' Ace asked with a cocky smirk, Redhead placed a quick kiss on his neck, causing Ace to briefly shut his eyes.
