12. Charming Brute?

'' May I have this dance? ''

He wore a deep dark brown suit and his black hair was nicely gelled back, His suit fitted him well and it showed off his muscular arms and his expensive watch that he wore on his wrist... Diamonds? It was until I saw that gold ring on his finger. This man dared to talk to me now after so many years! But his eyes still held that same gleam as they had before.

'' Anthony! Your little muffin! '' I got up and hugged him.

'' Jadey! I missed you so much! Oh my god, what are you doing here? '' Anthony asked me and I gave him a small smile.

He dragged me to the dance floor and I happily obliged, Our handheld together in a firm grasp and his other hand on my waist. We took our place on the dance floor which had nice marble titles.

'' So you're married? '' I asked him and he gave me a big smirk.

'' More like engaged! '' He replied and my eye's widened to saucers.

'' Oh wow, who's the lucky girl? '' I questioned and he shyly answered me.

'' It's a boy and his name is Noah. '' He answered me.

'' Oh woah, I mean shocking. I though--
'' Yeah I made everyone believe that I was interested in a girl, But I was attracted to guys ever since I was twenty, I was scared of coming out and since I owned a business of clothes and alcohol I was afraid that they would be tarnished by my sexuality. '' He told me as I felt a pang of hurt touch my heart.

It's so sad how these poor souls suffer so much, they struggle with their identity and voice. Even though the world has accepted them and their interest, there are still some cruel beasts who will do whatever is in their will to bring them down. The LGBTQ COMMUNITY NEEDS MORE LIGHT!

I have watched people fall in love and it's the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to a human. Love is such a powerful feeling, it can pick you up and bring you down! Being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and Queer is nothing to be ashamed of your voice is as powerful as your aura and you're soul!

It's a choice that you decide to choose who you love and who you want to be! It is none of our business to judge them on what they decide for themselves! We are no one to condemn them or mock them! Abusing them is a whole new story that we should not do!

'' Let me guess, he encouraged you and brought the light on your shoulder's. '' I told him and he smiled widely.

'' Yes! and it has affected my business even more! I have so many designers working under me who are a part of the LGBTQ community and they feel so accepted and loved. I have more talented recruits who were scared of opening up come and tell me about their experience and journey and it has opened my mind to so many areas that I never knew I could find out about. Like jade, you don't even understand! I'm no longer questioned why I want to work with people who are gay or trans! I strive with so many skilled girls and boys who have such a positive aura and attitude towards me and my sexuality. I feel so relieved that people accepted me. '' Anthony declared as I saw the happiness jumping in his eyes.

'' I think she belongs in my arms, Anthony. '' A abstruse voice spoke.

I didn't need to listen to it again, I recognised that voice. It was the likewise voice as the night near the strip club. The moment my head fastened up to its source I lost all means of voice. My pulse slowed down and I felt my insides turn up in a somersault.

He wore a dashing Black three-piece suit and his hair was held behind, He looked even more attractive than the last time that I met him. There was no fucking way that this bastard carried the same voice as the man in the alley and there was no way that he was the same man who sent me flowers!
