Rissy's POV

"Go ahead. I'll be right behind you," sabi ko saka pinadaan ang palad ko sa aking damit, pilit kinakalma ang puso ko at ang paghinga ko.

Forcing to keep my poker face, I followed Laurent, trailing behind him as soon as my emotions are under control. He stops at one of the huge curvy booth, and I could hear voices from the booth, the music wasn't as blasting as the one in the main bar, and the golden light illuminating the whole wide room looks romantic rather sensual.

He smiled at me as soon as I reached him and he snakes his hand around the small of my back and introduce me to the group. I saw him at the corner of my eyes, he was staring hard at me, yet his eyes still as cold as the winter in Canada, stripped of any emotions. I held the urge to meet his eyes as and casually nods at his friends, with their partners, avoiding Maxwell's eyes.

"Welcome back," Laurent greeted Max and I found myself staring at him and said the same, my voice is as cold as his eyes, forcing a small smile then averted it promptly. I ignored the loud thumping of my heart. It felt like hornets were displaced in my belly.

Laurent helps me settled in between them and Wesley. A waitress came by and he ordered our drinks. I have no clue whatsoever about drinks, so I let him decide for me.

I could see the two women trying to get his attention and I felt my heart tightening but I shook it off right away.

I hate him, I kept reminding myself.

I didn't know, I was staring at him hard, my eyes held nothing. He still look as hot as the burning sun, yet his eyes, his aura is colder than the Antarctica. How could he looks so beautiful even if he doesn't smile, even if he scowls, he frowns, or he looks deadpan, he's still sexy as hell.

How could he pulled that off without even trying?

Then he stared at me, our eyes locked for a second that feels like hours, I quickly look away. I felt my cheeks burning and I almost smack myself. How stupid can I be?

I hope he didn't see any emotions in my eyes.

I tried to keep my eyes away from him. I smiled and tried to focus on whatever Laurent and his friends were talking. Maxwell was quiet all the time, but I could feel his eyes staring darkly at me, burning holes in my face.

"Are you alright?" Laurent whispered against my ears and I stared at his beautiful eyes as I nodded.

"Yes, I am!" I smiled. We all looked at Maxwell when he suddenly stood up.

"I remember I need to make a call. I'll be back," he said and left. I didn't dare followed his back. I can't.

As soon as he left, the group resumed their conversations. Kristoff and his girl were sharing saliva's most of the time. Laurent and Wesley were talking about business, and Vincent pitch in once in a while, then they cracks jokes.

As soon as I'm done with my second drinks, I felt my bladder about to explode. "Excuse," sabi ko kay Laurent. "Kailangan kong magCR," kako and he smiled at me saka ito tumayo para makalabas ako.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" tanong nito na ikinatawa ko.

"Wag na! Baka mamboso kapa," natatawang sabi ko na ikinatawa rin nito. Medyo tipsy na ito base sa mga mata nitong namumungay na. "Tama na siguro yang inumin mo, mukhang tinamaan kana. Magdrive kapa," paalala ko. Tumawa ito saka sumaludo pa.
