It has been three days since I last saw Maria. I wonder if she'll be back here at Night Out. Just thinking about her makes me feel aroused. Her beauty is exquisite and knows no bound.

If only that plain, old maid looking fiancée of mine looks at least half as good as Maria, I wouldn't mind marrying her. I just can't understand my parents. I mean aren't I old enough to find my own bride?

Although, I am not planning on settling down for now. Heck, I am not even thinking of settling down. It's not like I want to. I want to enjoy life. Tasting different women is far too precious to give up just to settle on one for the rest of my life.

Now, I have no choice but to marry this hideous looking brat. I don't even know if this girl can speak the word s€x without blushing. My life is in grave danger if I go through this wedding.

Although, maybe I can do something to make her want to quit. I can turn her life a living hell. Now, I just have to come up with a brilliant plan that will blow her mind up.

"Hey, man!" Daniel, one of my friends arrived.

I got tired of hanging here in the bar waiting for Maria to show up, so I decided to call my friends. Night Out is where we always hang. Besides, why would I hang out on somebody else's bar when I own one? At least most of it anyway.

I come here almost every night just to check. My partner, Mr. Alejandro Perez, is the one who makes sure that the goods we serve are the best quality. I remember meeting him in one of the local bars. He was complaining about his drink not tasting the way it should be.

I couldn't blame him, the drinks in that bar are the worst. I don't know why it was well known. When I heard him complaining, I joined him for a drink. A simple conversation about the drinks turned into a business talk. Since that night, we decided to open a bar exclusively for people like us. Although I am as old as his son, as he said, we both have equal minds when it comes to clubs and drinks.

"Hey, where are the others?" I asked Daniel.

"They'll be here in a while. So, what's with the sudden call?" he sat on the couch opposite to mine. He called the waiter and ordered his usual drink.

"I'm getting married." I said simply after taking a sip of my gin and tonic.

I have pictured my friends' reaction when I tell the news and the outcome was right on target. He laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He was slamming his right hand on the table between us. Looks like he can't control his amusement.

"Dude, that was the sickest joke you ever cracked!" he said between his laughter.

I know they wouldn't believe me. I mean I didn't even believe it until that dinner a few days ago. I just gave him a stern glare implying that I am not joking. As he saw the seriousness on my face, his jaw suddenly opened.

"You're not serious, right?" he clarified.

"I am dead serious, man." I answered calmly.

"Serious about what?" Brian, my other friend asked as he's near us.

"Our mighty d¡ck-heαd friend here says he's getting married." Daniel answered him.

Brian stared at me with that stone face of his. He just stood there frozen. A staring contest was going on between us. As expected, he was laughing his αss out not believing every word.

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh all you want." I tried ignoring their reaction.

Brian, sat next to Daniel and ordered his drink. We are waiting for one more person to arrive but that doesn't stop these two idiots from questioning me.
