"It scares me that you're the only person here who makes me feel like she can outsmart me."

*****

Our conversations have become too many, our encounters have become more friendly, and our relationship have grown. All suddenly and for no apparent reason. However, I was too damn surprised to care or object, if that's how it's gonna be I'm gonna live with it this way.

"Why does every sentence you say sound like it came out of a drama movie?" I asked sarcastically ignoring what he said.

"Why do you investigate everything around you like Sherlock Holmes is your father?" He asked back with the same tone. The breath of air around us got a bit stronger and the night cold started to kick in so I sneezed as I felt the chills down my spine.

"Are you cold?" He asked.

"If you take your jacket off and put it on my shoulders I will literally push you off this ledge." I said sarcastically shaking my head.

"What is this? A seventies movie?" He agreed. "I was just going to do this." He murmured putting his arm around my back gently pulling me towards him.

The feeling of his fingers on my bare back sent chills down my spine, the air got warmer and filled with his perfume. His body was so still and fixed in one position. I wanted to break free from him but didn't have the guts to.

I thought of the last time I've been in such situation, and remembered how blessed I used to feel to have someone hold me with so much love. So many Edward flashbacks hit me, which is ironic. It's offensive for a man when his lady thinks of another man in his presence. But the the truth is, I wasn't his lady, neither was he my man. The reason I remembered Edward is that with him everything was clear and well reasoned; however, with Arsen uncertainty was our motto.

"Captain." A voice said from behind us. Arsen removed his arm and turned around slowly like he was doing nothing suspicious. It was Lesandra, she had one eyebrow raised with a huge angry look on her face.

"Yes, Lesandra?" Arsen asked quietly.

"Daddy wants everyone inside now." She declared stepping aside to give Kayl space to step inside but I didnt follow him, neither did she. What did she want? She was clenching her jaws and I knew she had a dirty plan for me.

"Listen up, cap." She sassed in a bitchy attitude. "I don't know what you've got planned regarding Kayl, but it won't happen." My mind wandered in many places within few seconds, but soon enough I remembered! Just like her father seems to be my boss, It's actually Kayl. So she and her daddy can kiss my ass.

"Listen Lessy." I sassed back. "I have nothing planned, I'm just doing my job. I don't know what you think I'm trying to do, but I certainly wont try to steal your man,, if he actually is your man."

Her eyes were shooting bullets on my face and she had her mouth slightly opened fishing for words to say but she seemed to find none. And I was too annoyed to fear her, she was being a bitch to me and I was sick of sucking up with her shit. I left her mourning and got back in to the party to see what eveyone is up for.

Everyone was gathered around Mr. Luiz who had Kayl and his wife Marian standing next to him and he was obviously about to say a speech. I tried my best to act cool and not seem affected by that conversation with Lesandra. I took time to observe my surroundings: Justin and Nicole trying to kiss some millionaire's ass, Lesandra pushing through the crowds to get closer to the elite circle, and cameron flirting with some waitress, and Kayl standing there holding his glass of champagne giving out looks filled with irony while Mr. Luiz bragged about his endless property.
