Loneliness

His dream ended abruptly and he was shaken back into reality. His eyes opened, his eyelashes faintly batting against his eye lids when he blinked. He laid on the couch lazily, debating whether or not he would get up. His muscles felt weak. Letting out an exasperated sigh, he groaning as he rolled off of the sepia-colored sofa he had been occupying.

'What time was it? '

'How long have I been asleep? '

'Where is Alex? Isn't the food ready yet?'

All of these questions shot through his mind as he let out a loud yawn and dragged his limbs towards the dining room, ready to continue whatever was left of his day. A white pot with a transparent lid laid at the centre of the table. On it was a sticky note to Xander. Discarding the note he opened it and devoured his meal wholeheartedly.

**********************************************************************

In the night club the good vibes spread like a virus, but the good kind. It was rainbow lights and the sort of beats that revved up the soul. Alex weaved through the guys and girls like a pro, her smile wider than the golden gates. She makes a beeline for the bar, one whiskey later she is ready to move with the music, hands in the air, body moving like an uncoiling rope, eyes on fire. The joy is like a shot of adrenaline to the heart and all at once she moved one with the music, one with every crazy person dancing in this place.

In her previous life she had always being alone. She grew up hidden from the world, knowing nothing outside the gates of their mansion. Alex remembered those lonely day when she would watch her peers through the window, laughing, giggling seeming to have the best time of their lives and she would often ask her mother why she couldn't go and play with them or why she couldn't bring them over.

"It's for your safety" her mother would reply monotonously.

A tear slipped unceremoniously down her blue orbs. She wiped it clean with her hands and kept dancing to the music as she drifted into her past.

A day came and she finally succeeded in convincing her mom. She was allowed to resume school like a regular kid for summer schooling until the end of the common entrance examination. However she was like a magnet for trouble, the unsuspecting prey brought home the predator. Like that her fantasy was shattered.

Her whole family had to move somewhere even more desolate. Their estate stood like an haunted house at the end of the market. When everything looked like it was on track the enemy struck again. Her earlier childishness led to the death of her mother. She realized she would bring trouble to anyone within her radii so she retreated into the darkness. Accepting it's cold wretched embrace.

'I will never go back' she swore deep in her heart but her loneliness led her by the nose and every night she ended up in the world once more.

Her legs felt tired and sore, nevertheless, she drove her tired body towards her private VVIP room.

The door creaked open, her creamy legs appeared making the beauties choke on their breath. Every one knew her, she is an epitome of beauty, enchanting. She transparent yet mysterious. She worms her way into your heart and becomes your fondest dream or your worst nightmare. She looks sweet and submissive yet her aura oppresses the powerful. She is the infamous manizer of cityA.

"You and you, with me on the bed." She slurred pointing at two of the men.

"The rest of the beauties can stay..." she hiccuped "stay on the couch"

Everyone took their places as they watched her move around the room like a dancing swam. Her black heels went first before the zip of her royal blue dress went down. Immediately they averted their eyes not daring to look. She promises safety in her arms but her eyes scream danger. One look, one taste, one sigh and you are hard as rock or wetter than a water-slide.

People imagine all sorts of sexual things the Lin empress does with men in her room, what they would never have imagine is the scene playing out right now.

"Jun'er did you change your shampoo, you smell yummy" she sniffed burying herself in his warm embrace.

This weird girl pays them thousands to cuddle her to sleep every night.

She was nothing but a lonely girl who's scared waking up alone on that cold bed.
