When it was my turn, I belatedly found out that I was missing my id. I keep searching my bag but it's gone. How? My eyes kept looking down just in case I dropped it but I was met with a pair of shoes. Looking up, the security was watching me intently.
"I-I.."
I wanted to make up an excuse but I was already kicked out of the line. I tried bribing one but he wouldn't even turn my way. While I was doing so, one guy was also showing his phone to the other security claiming that he was a celebrity and his profile was on the internet, needless to say, we both failed.
We looked at each other's face, finding comfort with each other's eyes as we felt like we were 'comrades'. It was pretty dramatic but it was how I exactly felt after going through the last few days. I think I'd be friends with anyone other than those I've already encountered.
I saw the guy going up to me but as he was coming near, I saw him hesitate then suddenly turning back. After taking a few steps, he turned his head to look at me and smiled but then turned his back again and continued his way. There was even a melancholic song playing in the background adding another layer to our drama.
'Comrade where are you going? Shouldn't we have a drink and console ourselves? I'm pretty sure you also have suffered for these past few days else the desperate excuse in the club.'
My eyes lingering on his back as I stand on the same spot. Just why did he turn his back on me when he was already coming my way?
The question I had in mind was answered when my i.d magically floats few inches away from my face. No, it wasn't floating but a hand was holding it close to me. So close that my eyes have turned inwards.
In my anger I suddenly grabbed that hand with force and faced him. "You!—"
I thought it was loner so I was going to say "you b*sta**!" but the words were stuck on my throat as I'm faced with Aster.
"Ah, ah, my hand. Sis!" He complained.
Instinctively I let go of him after getting back my senses. "Why'd you have my i.d?" I questioned. I was sure I had it in me when I was around the circle but then it just disappeared when I was a few steps away from the entrance of the club. That was my ticket to pleasure!
"I picked it up in there." He said pointing to where I was standing in line before the doors have opened and the line started to move.
"That's weird." I mumbled.
"My good sister, are you accusing me of theft? Do you think I stole it?" He asked upon hearing me.
Instead of responding, I stared at the place I was before trying to remember how I lost it. I was silently standing in line as people kept queuing behind me. Then there were movements inside and one guy came in front whispering something then the security nodded in assent and opened the doors. One guy wearing a black hat with ear piercing peeked from the inside and the females in line cried in excitement. That was when their feelings of enthusiasm and eagerness gave them the strength to rush forward, pushing us in front. It just so happened that I was holding my i.d ready to be checked by the security. Then the opening hours began and they started accepting customers.
"Sorry for that, I must have lost it. No, not my mind. I'm talking about that i.d" I told him and gave an apologetic smile. Yes, why did I forget that I was holding it before when they pushed me? I even mistook him as someone and hurt his hand. I can only say sorry.
"Are you okay now?" He asked after a few moments of silence.
Is he asking me that because of how I acted or is he asking because he remembered the thing with Lily?
Seeing me confused he told me, "I was asking if you're okay with the overall situation."
"Yes, I'm okay now." I assured him. 'Any way it won't be long before I leave this place' I thought to myself.
"That's good then. Sis was worried about you but she too have some troubles so she can't spare you some time other than sending a few comforting messages." I heard him say. "How about we exchange numbers? That way I can be someone you could turn to when my sister's busy?" He suggested as he took out his phone from his pocket.
I can't turn down a good kid so I nodded and exchanged numbers with him. My thoughts are pure.
"By the way, do you know that guy? He'd been looking this way." He suddenly asked after saving my number. I thought he was talking about my 'comrade' so even without looking the way he pointed, I told him our fateful story.
"No, not him. I was a few people away from you when it happened so I know his face. I'm asking about that guy in the corner."
Turning my head, I looked at the corner and met the guy's gaze. He immediately turned away then coincidentally got a call and then he was out of my sight. It was Loner the stalker. I don't know what his deal was but he was acting creepy. Did Liam ask him to spy on me?
"Call on the police for me; I think he's my stalker." I motioned.
Aster was surprised as his voice sounded higher, "For real?!"
I turned to looked at his face and saw that he thought I was serious, my lips curved, "No, pay him no mind, he's a guard sent by my parents." I told Aster. "By the way, you said that you were only a few feet away from me that time so why haven't you gone and gave me my i.d that very moment?" I eyed him suspiciously. If he gave me my i.d then would I have to humiliate myself like that? No. I would've entered the door smoothly and is having a blast now.
He averted his eyes as he kept touching his nose. "Sorry, you and the other guy were entertaining to watch that I forgot I have yours with me."
I had the urge to smack him that very moment those words escaped from his mouth,. I quickly reined in my emotions so I could not accidentally hit him. He needs to live and blossom into a fine young man.
"Did you have your fill then? Am I entertaining enough?" I asked.
"Not the same as that guy, he's a real celebrity, though he's mostly a minor character so not a lot of people knew him" He explained.
"Yet you knew?"
"Of course! He is relatives with Mimosa, a rising star. I'll show you the picture. Wait." He said as he browsed his phone. He showed a picture of a young female with skin as white as snow, her cherry lips curved in an alluring smile as she look at the camera. She is so pretty, I was reminded of Lily.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
