E I G H T E E N: Dazed

Loud music echoes inside the room as colorful lights dance to the beat of the music. To avoid the prying stares of the crowd, I situate at a table which is on the farthest end of the bar, drinking a glass of white wine.

Adoringly, I watch Trixie and Ashton enjoying themselves on the dance floor. "Woman like me" by Little Mix featuring Nicki Minaj plays now. An amused laugh spills out of my mouth when I see them move seductively, Trixie placing her hands on Ashton's butt while his eyes are planted at her. Way to go, sis.

I've realized that I haven't informed Tony yet about this change of plan. I've decided to just text him since it'll be impossible to hear me through the booming music in the speakers.

Babe, we're here at the bar.
You won't believe it, Ashton
is here. To thank him for
saving us, I invited him for
dinner but he opted for
drinks instead. I hope
you don't mind. 😉

I don't, but please be
careful.

LOL. Be careful, love? Don't
worry, I'm fine. Ashton and Trixie are having a blast.
I'm like their chaperone
here. Missing you.

I can go there if you
miss me that much, love.

No, it's okay. We'll be out in
a bit. Trixie and I will go
to the spa for a massage.

I already regret allowing
you to go. I want to cuddle
so bad, it's killing me.
Hope morning comes soon.
See you tomorrow, love you.💓

A huge smile paints my face after I saw his heart emoji. Gosh. I can't believe it, I just received Tony's beating heart. Call me crazy, but I'm swooning with joy right now, just because of an emoji. Okay, I admit, I'm definitely a nutcase.

I was about to send a reply of, "Love you, too. 💋" When Trixie's blaring voice reaches my ears, "Hey Sis! Who's that?!"

Her voice is naturally big and loud but I still can't get used to it, she never fails to surprise me every time, "Whoa! Geez, you scared me." I reply to her. I didn't notice that she already pulled the chair next to my side and sat right next to me.

She grabs my phone and checks the message. My eyes widen. Haven't heard of the word 'privacy', sister?

As expected, her loud scream fills the bar, as if she's found a hidden treasure that everyone's been looking for, "Tony Green! OMG! He's so sweet. He says, 'love you', why don't you send a 'love you, too'?! You're so slow! Don't keep him waiting, you little turtle!" The music's already deafening, but Trixie's voice is much more ear-splitting than when she arrived.

I roll my eyes, "It would've been sent a few minutes ago until one person interrupted."

"And who's that?" She raises a brow.

I take a deep breath and point my hand at her face. "T-R-I-X-I-E. Do I really have to state the obvious here?"

"Okay, okay, sorry." She raises her both her arms in surrender, "Send a reply to your loverboy quickly. I'll be back in a jiffy, Ms. Oh-so-inspired-lovergirl."

"Where are you going?"

"Powder my nose a little bit, Ashton is too hot that I perspired a lot during our make-out sesh." She places an emphasis on the word 'so'. Seems like they really clicked.

I snicker at her, "All right, Ms. Perverted."

She turns, slaps her butt and struts like Victoria's Secret angel on the runway until she gets inside the ladies' room.
