Let's Just Pretend Tonight (Scene 2)

Nevada POV's...

... The overhead lamps were dim, as it shone on the trail leading to the entrance. The Flores on all sides had creamy white petals. Although it was not my favourite colour, I found them lovely. ''This is snowdrops.'' I realized, as I took a closer look. The discovery brought a big smile to my lips, I've always being so obsessed to its fragrance. If not for its poisonous nature, I would have been soaking in its petals for the rest of my life.

The door frame could be seen from a far. I have walked like 10 m long, and still haven't closed the damn distance. The cold air wasn't exactly fair to me, either. My nipples felt like they would freeze.

Finally, I was a few steps away. Oddly, the entry was decorated with flowers, that were in strong contrast with the rest. I doubt they were natural, probably some artificial flowers solely for designs, nevertheless their colours were fascinating. A combination of blue and black, maybe a specie like that exist. Botany was my worst enemy in school. ''Why on earth will plants be divided in so many branches and diversities?...and why should anyone study them at all?.'' I seriously don't know how Ashley always score note eins in all her courses. I mused.

I stared at the door in irritation, It was large, and extravagantly made of woods and glasses, but with no handle nor bells. ''who does that?.'' I asked no one in particular. It was my first time in this location. Neither Orion nor Ashley has ever brought me here, we normally hang out in clubs or restaurant or anyway fun, but this place is strangely quiet and isolated, and doesn't really add up to Orion's personality. Unless he has changed. But what could be the possibility for that to happen in a short period of months?. I jolted, as the door buzzed and slid open, reviling an empty doorway. A soft music could be heard, as I made my way to an open, spacious room. A plus size lady in a super thin pink lacy lingeries, welcomed me with a charming smile. I couldn't make out her face, as she was wearing a white, lacy mask. Despite her ample size, she looked like a bad bitch Barbie doll. YES, I'm among those that links pink to Barbie, like who doesn't?. I gave her a half smile and progressed forward. The entire place was naturally lit by numerous candles in every hiding conner, as possible. The atmosphere was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, alcohol, herbs, citrus and many other scents I couldn't differ. People were seated on their various tables, nursing their drinks or making out with a lot of hot Barbies at their expense. I swept my gaze across the room in search of a dark blond wavy shag haircut and most likely in a vibrant clothing, as The sound of cocktails being shaken caught my attention, so I strode towards the bartender for a drink. I orderded Baileys Martini. I surveyed the crowd, the light was dim so I couldn't make out much details, but was seized by a shameless dou, who looked liked they could fuck right there. My order was up, so I took a sip, as I enjoyed the show. My expression darkened, as I realized that it was Orion. He can't even wait to get through the night, and he is already egar to get laid. Like I he didn't miss me even a pintch, despit all we have been through together. at I chuckled dryly to myself. I really don't care at all. It's not like we are in any relationship and God knows I don't even want to at all. I muttered under my breath. I left my drink made my way towards them. Seems like they have come down from whatever fever they had. The fear was no longer present, and I very well plan to be bitchy tonight.

''And here you are!.....Lover boy.'' I commented as I appyzroach them. He turned to me with a smile on his lips, that would make you to overlook his mistakes. He stood up, apparently about to embrace me. I was lost in that icy light blue eyes of his, his grey shirt helped to intensify his eyes. His ginger scent emveloprd me in his warm embrace. He suddenly stepped back with a questioning look. OopsI've failed woefully in my plan to keep him 3 feets away from me. I was really not interested in any lecture from him. ''What?'' I snapped. In short I didn't want to here whatsup. ''I don't want to hear any of it.'' My hands on my hips ready in defence. '' I have told you plenty of times to stop calling me that'' He replied dismissibly. It took me while ro get what he was referring to.I was a bit disappointed, although I have no intension of discussing that now.

''I will stop when You stop behaving like one.'' I snapped. I eyed the lady,who had been starring at us the whole time. She wasn't dress like a Barbie though. She wore a red strappless dress and her hair was black. Damn! I feel so out of place, my outfit was too plain. Her black hair was rolled in curls. I wonder when his taste changed. He took his seat and said something to her. I watched in disgust as she seductively said something. I rolled my eyes, echt? I was not here to be fed dog food. I watched in, as she looked at me in hatred before storming out, I had my sly smile on. duh!

''Are satisfeid now?'' he asked. What kind of question is that?, I can never be satisfeid with any of his deeds,I glared at his dumb questions. I needed to know why he came back just a week before my carefully nurtureed fruit is riped for harvest. Cause I was sure he doesn't give a damn about me, ...well not anymore or he wouldn't have left. ''Why Are You Back?'' I blurted. ''Weren't you tired of my bullshit?''

'' There was a problem I needed to.....''. He started. ''Save it! I'm sick of these excuses. Just tell me why you came back, you were obviously having a good time, so what is the reason for this so called, meet up.'' I don't know why I feel so worked up.

Sadly, I was right. I don't mean much to him, or he wouldn't be searching for an answer. I wonder what lie he was making up. My nipples hardened, when they noticed, that he was looking. ''I will take that as a compliment.'' what I said seemed to have snapped him out of his thoughts. He shamelessly didn't deny it, and I feel like ripping that smile off his face.

It was hard not to love this place, though but the whole episode and his attitude, really got me itchy. In fact, I hate it here!. ''I will neglect, that you ignored my text, but won't overlook, that you chose a place like this. It simply lacks vibe.'' Yah! Yah! I'm that petty. I regretted it immediately when I realized that my comment hurt his feelings, but I continued. '' You have a bad taste.'' Actually, that was a lie, Orion had better taste than anyone I knew. His favourites are all bright colours, which I found crazy. His reply made me chuckled. I really can't stay angry at him for long, but my stubborn nature won't bulge. I taunted him and his damn reasonable logics a lot. I'm seemly childish this night for no reason. Being myself, I threatened to report him to his sister, when he made fun of my accent. I't felt like old times, those feelings that I had suppressed, were resurfacing. He was being too charming and carefree, even though he was hurting. So I kissed him lightly out of impulse and not pity, I couldn't stop myself and his lost expression was tempting, but that would be unfair. I don't want to give him any false hope. Suddenly in need of another vodka shots. I pasted a smile on and off again to the bantender, I gathered myself before going back.

I passed him his favourite cocktails. I nursed my drink quietly. I've always been an irrational person, or my life wouldn't be this messy. Family drama, even relationships, well it's not like I'm in any right now, that's why I don't want to mess things up again. The only best thing in my life is my daily blogs and my obsession and him. So I contemplated on how he wants the night to go. Honestly, every fibre in my body wants to jump on the offer. But I shouldn't at any cost, not this time!. And I swore to myself to be independent in getting what I want and to use him.

I know this is different, it's about us and not him in the picture, but I don't trust myself not to screw up. But we both know a relationship can't work out between us. So what's there to lose?. Yes, our friendship might be a stake again. His intense blue eyes on me, made me weak.

Jezzzzz! I need to stop thinking, or I woud go crazy. ''You know what Ori?.. Screw Logics, I'm tired of these psychological tortures, and Yes I missed you.'' I held his hands, as I continued. '' And…and I missed him too!'' I mumured. He looked away, as his hold tightened.

'' LOOk at me!.. I don't need you to protect me, and I promise to not ask any favour concerning him from you again. Be honest with me, he sent you to stop me. Richtig?''. He fucking didn't reply, and was avoiding eye contact.

''Ori? Are you toying with me now?. Do I look like a fool?. I f**king knew all along, that it wasn't a coincidence that you would show up just a week before the end of the contest. But I was hoping that you cared a bit.'' I was sad, angry, confused. I could feel that disastrous feeling to ruin every good thing I have, and I can't repress it. ''I f**king hate you!.. I hate him! You both go screw yourselves.''. I felt better, I don't care if his hurt. He scowled at me. I wasn't expecting that, he was always gentle.

'' This is the reason I was reluctant to come back. You are screwed up!.'' He confessed nonchalantly. I was too stunned to speak. Did he just call me crazy?. I'm aware that I'm fucked up, but I don't need it to come from (him or him) none of them. My blood boiled at the fact that he blamed me.... How could he?.....''SMACK! '' I couldn't stop myself from slapping him. It felt weird, as I have never imagined a day like this will ever come, but of course he had never been cold to me. My hands were shaking, the expression on his face was blank. Orion has always been lenient to me, but he was also an unpredictable being. I don't know why, but it sent chills down my spine. I'm really not familiar with this version of him. He was releasing the same aura as... ''Gelid.''

I took my bag, and stood up, urgently in need to get away, which I have never done before. He had always been my sense of safety, but right now I have no idea what he might do.

I made my way through the dancing Volks, hastily in search of exist. I finally found it at the coner. I paid no attention to the sexy Barbie lady, that I met earlier.

I wondered around the long empty passage and was relieved, when I found my escape. Unfortunately, there was was no knob. It was obvious, that it's operated automatically.

I cursed, as I couldn't open the door. I had no other option than to bang on it like a mad woman. I winced, as a Hand tightly grabbed me by the arm.

''Where do you think you are going?'' He sneered. The smile on his lips looked harmless, but I knew better. Fear washed all over me!!.
