Stop!!

"A gentleman in room 2401?"

All of them suddenly turn their head towards my direction before asking "who?" With a mischievous smile on their face. I didn't want to reply their questions so I started to drink the vodka that the gentleman (that handsome stranger that she met before) gives before compliment the taste. After a while, they suddenly could no longer hold back the curiosity and pounce me into spilling out the juiciest gossip (well, not really). So I just told them that it was just a guy I bump into before I came here and there is nothing more. I just shrugged it off when I suddenly recall that handsome guy face (she just live to appreciate a nice face cause why not). I could see that they are not convinced with what I told them but they didn't push it since I chose not to tell them anything other than that. I believe that I would not be in much of a contact with that guy anyway so I just completely toss the thought of that guy in the back of my head.

We continue to drink, have merry, gossip about our everyday life, work, relationship and every little thing that we could talk about (although the last time we met is this morning right after our plane lands). Jay and the girls wanted to dance so they stepped out from the room to go to the dance floor. I wanted to join but I need to sober up a little so I can take care the girls. But I still sit at the couch while watching them from upstairs (the private room has a two way mirror so I could see them from our private room). It is nice that Jay is there with the others or judging with the way they are acting, some random guy might just take them to the nearest hotel for a one night stand (I cannot let that happen since they had a job tomorrow morning). After sobering up a little, I went downstairs to join them and have fun. We were dancing and laughing without much care for the night just to forget all those upsetting stuff.

But what she didn't know is that there is a pair of eyes that were watching her from one of the private room.

In room 2401...

"Alex, What are looking at?" One of his friend ask while looking through the two sided mirror. He started to look around until his gaze landed at my group of friends. "Is it them? Or is it not? Tell us, quick!" Then he begin to shake the people next to him out of frustration. "Stop acting like you're 10 years old kid for pete's sake! Aren't you feel ashamed? We're almost 30 in the couple of year, you know. Start behaving like a responsible adult and stop clinging at Alex all the time!"

I just look at them fighting for a while before I darted back to the dance floor when I see her. I have seen her before, it was on the airport when I just finished my outstation and on the way to go back. I didn't know her then but my eyes are still following after her. I can't say that it was a love at the first sight but I definitely attracted to her. The way she smile is like a thousand lightbulb lit up at the same time, so blinding, so radiant that I can't stop watching her. I want to know her better. No! I need to know her better.

I can see that she looked down before (when he met her in front of his private room) but her mood seem to be lifted compared to earlier. Well, I am sure that I would know about it once I asked my secretary to investigate her.

At the dance floor... (Aurelia's pov)

"Hey guys, should we stop for tonight? We have work tomorrow morning and I need to be there early. Didn't both Yves and you need to go to the shooting scene?" I asked since Yves told me that in the private room when we told each other about our schedule for tomorrow. We always do that so we could make sure that we could have a lunch or dinner together unless one of them are like super busy to come. Then we decided to dance a little before heading back to our respective houses.

....................

I woke up, workout, washed, dressed, eat my breakfast then I went to work. I work for myself as a fashion designer and I own this studio even before I graduate from my university. I always love fashion since I was young so when I save up enough money, I bought this studio so I can have a nice working place. I learn how to sew clothes from a teacher that I ask my mom to hire after a couple of days of persuading and sulking (childish... I know... I was 13 at that time) but I think that my decision at that time are smart as I now own my own store. I graduate in fashion but I already design and sell my clothes before that (I was experimenting whether or not my clothes would sell... But it did... So.... Yeah). My parents are supporting my decision but my ex-fiancee (Calvin) didn't. He told me that it would be better if I work under my father because he told me that would be easier. When I was caught thinking back in the past, my phone rang.

"Hello" I answered without looking at the phone screen but the moment I heard Calvin's voice I really wanted to hang up but I know that we need to talk to each other so I agree to meet him after work. I close my studio at 6pm and I go to the restaurant that we frequently went together. I walked towards our usual spot and sit across him. I didn't look or even talk to him before I order a watermelon juice. I know that he was looking but I pretend that I could not see it. After a couple of minute of awkward silence, he finally called my name.

"Lea..."

"Stop!!! Let me talk first" I said while looking at his face. "I'll tell my mom and dad that we decided to call off this engagement. Don't worry". I said that before taking a sip of my watermelon juice.

"You still haven't tell uncle and aunt? I thought you did" then he went silent

"Lea... I..."
