“Are we good?” Theo asked me after slowly pulling away, setting his eyes on mine.
“I get you can’t keep it in your pants, bro! But you guys are gonna miss out on the party!” Mike’s teasing comment made me blush. I turned my gaze back to Theo, who rolled his eyes with annoyance.
I smiled and grabbed his hand. “We’re good.” And I led him back inside.
ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I was on my third drink and I felt dizzy. Usually, I avoided alcohol, so I didn’t need much for it to kick in. The party was in full swing, and I was chatting with Scarlett and Teresa, a friend with whom I had legal analysis workshops. I searched across the room for Theo but couldn’t spot him. I wanted to ask him to drop me home. I knew his driver was waiting for him because we’d always been doing that. I’d dismiss Gregory, and Theo’s driver would stick around.
“Have you seen Theo?” I asked the girls.
Teresa quickly checked out the room before replying, “Nope.”
“Maybe he went somewhere with Mike? I can’t see him either,” Scarlett added.
“Yeah, I’ll check outside. Maybe they went for a smoke.”
“Yeah, probably.” Scarlett smiled. “Want me to go with you?”
“Nah, I’m fine. I need to use the toilet on my way there.” I gave the girls a reassuring look and set aside the drink before following toward the restroom.
The toilet on the ground floor was occupied, so I decided to go upstairs. I knew Mike’s place because he used to throw parties nearly every Friday. Besides, he was my boyfriend’s best friend, and sometimes we hit his place. With each step up the stairs, the loud music playing downstairs seemed to fade away. I could finally hear my own thoughts. I was about to get inside the washroom, but something stopped me. I heard moaning coming from one of the rooms. It wasn’t something unusual. People hooked up at parties, but this time was different. I felt a cold shiver sweeping down my spine, realizing it was Audrey’s voice whining my boyfriend’s name.
My heart started racing like crazy as I walked over to the door leading to Mike’s bedroom. The closer I’d get, the louder I’d hear the moans. I grabbed the doorknob and slightly opened the door. My hands were shaking. I was not ready for what I was about to see. My eyes grew wide, and I gasped in shock. I saw Theo and my narrow-waisted friend making out. Both half-naked.
“Shit! Melanie?!” Theo’s face fell as soon as he spotted me, gawking at them with my jaw dropped. “It’s not what you think!” He tried to devise some ridiculous excuse while hurriedly buttoning his fly, but before he managed to put himself together, I stormed out of there faster than a speeding bullet.
TEARS WERE RUNNING down my face as I was running down the street. I didn’t know where or for how long. I kept running, holding my expensive Louis Vuitton high heels in my hands, and my perfectly done makeup was likely ruined. The picture of my boyfriend’s hand sliding down Audrey’s tanned belly, disappearing underneath the silk fabric of her panties, her shiny, chocolate-brown hair falling at her arched back as she sighed in pleasure while running her fingers through Theo’s golden hair while he planted hungry kisses down her neck, kept haunting me all the way here, whenever I was. With each passing second, the excruciating pain tearing my heart apart intensified. I’d never felt so broken before, and believe me, my life had been fucked up just enough to make me experience all kinds of shitty feelings. I could barely see through my watery eyes, and I hadn’t noticed the car approaching me from across the street. Then just when I thought it would hit me, I heard a loud screech of brakes as the driver managed to stop an inch before me.
“Are you fucking crazy?!” he shouted at me before he even managed to step out of the car. I couldn’t guess if he was more shaken because he almost hit me with his speeding car or more furious that I ran right in front of it, risking destroying his brand-new, shiny black Bugatti. But, as soon as our eyes met, he kind of… froze.
And that’s when I met him. The most handsome man I’d ever laid my eyes on with the kind of piercing blue eyes that told me I should run the other way.
