I Married The Mafia Boss

Chapter 19 [Season II]: The Second Encounter

Luciella Tsukasa-Sky POV

As I entered the club room I was welcomed with the misty atmosphere of smoke, lasers dancing around the air and the smell of sweat from teenagers dancing all around the club.

Going back to Philippines brings a lot of memories. After a few years away, too many changes took place all thanks to Stephen La Pierre who are backing me up all throughout these years.

"Ella, here!" Vanellope waves on me.

Remember this sneaky lady fox? The girl became my best friend. We still kept in touch over the years while I was away studying overseas and talk a lot about everything under the sun except for one forbidden topic, Rohanne Sky.
Thankfully, as a best friend, she was sensitive as well on the topic, taking care not to scar my heart as it already is.

"It could be a sweet dream, or a beautiful nightmare, either way I dont wanna wake up from you.." She dances on her way to me while singing Beyonce's song that was now booming loud at the club room then hugged me tight. "I missed you sweetheart.." She giggled tapping my little nose then her eyes suddenly flew on the center of the dance floor, gesturing me to look at what she was looking right at that moment. "Well, I wasn't able to have a rain check, I'm sorry I got bad news for you little one, check the dance floor out there, there's a guy who's been the hots of all our little girls here."

I followed where Vanne's eyes glued and feeling ko naestatwa ako sa kinatatayuan ko, my hands trembling and my heart is now loudly bombarding my chest.
That jet black hair, those Dark brown eyes, that tall flawless frame. Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali. I partly gasp out of shock. Nahiling ko na lang na bumuka ang lupa at kainin na lang sana ako ngayon.

Please God don't let him look my way.

It's been 3 years..
It's been f*cking 3 years and yet..

Here I am thinking I wasn't going to feel the same way as I did way back then.
Thinking I was brave enough to face him all this time wherever we randomly meet somewhere, wherever.
I even swear to avenge my brother's death by preparing all this time.
Am I?
And yet my heart falters & was telling me otherwise upon just seeing this man's face. I started to doubt my self.
Am I?

I get a serving of Martini that was being carried all around by the waiter & drink.
Oh how I wished I brought Stephen La Pierre with me at a time like this.
"Sweetheart you okay?" Vanne snapped her fingers and I came back to reality.

Yes it was Rohanne Sky, and he's holding a very beautiful woman in his arms while trying to entertain more girls that was dying to be hold by him.
I sipped the liquor that was on Vanne's table & drink again in one go. The nerve of the guy!

"If you're not comfortable, we could always switch clubs if you want to?" pagaalalang sabi niya.
"Naah, it's okay but do you mind if I use the comform room?"
"Hmm." She examined me below her eyes thoroughly, making sure I was okay, I snatched and sipped the glass of martini in her hands and dismissively waived in the air. I hear her chuckle as I exited the scene, "Take your sweet time."

Ooookay, so there's this unconscious gay on the girl's comfort room. He creeps me out as the scenes from a zombie movie automatically played on my mind and gave me goosebumps. I was torn between ignoring the poor guy or call some club staff for assistance. I stare at him & looked how drunk & miserable he is unconsciously lying on the cold hard floor; carrying a make up pouch, wearing a woman's dress and a wig that looks very natural.
I stared at those for a moment and smiled as a brilliant idea popped in mind.

I can smell my brain cells burning.

I bathe my fake long lashes trying to feel my colored contacts in my eyes while sipping my nth glass of martini that was being served randomly. I flip my wig who looked so real and swing my hips to the new music that was now on the air, making my way going back to Vanne when I bumped into something hard and it shook my system since I dont know how many sheesh of glass I already took. Thank god the stranger grabbed my waist strongly against him.

"Speak to me,
You're walkin closer and it's hard to breathe,
I should be runnin' but the heart's naive,
And I expect too much.."

I wrinkled my nose as I heard the bitter lyrics of the beaty song that was starting.

"It wouldn't hurt to know your name right?" I jumped as a familiar voice disturbed my thoughts and the guy was staring intensely at me without breaking contact with our bodies. I can feel the flame in his eyes while his finger traced my lower lip down to my exposed cleavage. "I like how fine your dress is.. And by the way, you seem very familiar." he whispered as I feel his warm breath on my sensitive ears.

"I left a scar that no one else can see,
And now you're back here and reminding me
That I lost way too much.."

Since when did this Rohanne Sky becomes so damn bold? I want to curse the unconscious gay on the CR and his revealing dress! I consciously pull the dress up, covering my exposed cleavage.
But wait.. I composed my drunk self right away. He didn't recognized me right? I grabbed another martini to avoid a total eye contact with him or the guy will recognize my disguise. "You must be very drunk to be mistaken me with someone else Mister."

"Do you know that night I almost said I loved you?
And you almost said it back.."

Or maybe I am the drunk one to feel the heat running up on my system? I diverted my eyes away from him but he forcefully grabbed my chin for a kiss.

"Are we gonna be more than a memory?
No matter how lame my apology,
I let go of you,
You let go of me,
Are we gonna be more than a memory?

Are you gonna just stand in front of me?
Pretending I'm not your destiny?
I'm not over you,
Are you over me?
Are we gonna be more than a memory?"

Damn you Carly Mae Jepsen and your lyrics, whatever your song's intention it sinks up to me real good.

It's game over for you Luciella Tsukasa. All the courage, the anger and pent up frustrations melted on the thin air. Dissapointed? HELL NO!, It all crumbled when our lips touched and it's driving me crazy.

And I will let myself be honest, maybe just for tonight. Just for this moment,

"Stay with me,
I really need to hear you breathe,
If words can't speak,
Lay your body next to me."

I missed the guy..
