I. Attraction
There is something about this man.
He keep looking at me, make me feel uncomfortable
His brown and curly hair, his deep blue eyes that saw me like I'm the only woman in this room.
I try to stare away, but I am captivated by his presence.
I don't know, what should I do? His wife is on his side, for fucks sake.
He sees me like he wants to eat me alive
I grab Edison's hand, interlocking our fingers and give him a light kiss on the lips.
Edison smiles for a moment and continue talking to his friends
But Edison doesn't know why I kissed him
I throw my eyes to that man again, giving him a confirmation that i have partner and I am pretty much happy about it.
He doesn't seem bothered at all.
In fact, that man whispers something to his wife and stare at us, his wife nods and they walk towards us.
"Hello Edison, it's been awhile" said that woman nicely to Edison
"Hello Mellie! I didn't know you are in this party, I haven't spotted you" Edison looked surprised and happy, they both hugged for awhile.
"Well I think you're too busy enjoying your time with your lovely wife" said that man with a grin in his face.
"Her name is Olivia by the way. Olivia, this is Mellie, my colleague and long time friend. And no, Me and Olivia aren't married, yet" Edison said while wrapping his hand around my waist
"It's very nice to meet you Mellie." We shake hands.
"It's very nice to meet you too Olivia."
"You're not going to introduce me?" That man said with a playful note.
"Of course I will" She said, grabbing his hand "This is Fitz, my husband"
"Nice to meet you" That man said to Edison while their hands shaking.
"Nice to meet you too" Edison said while smiling at him and Mellie
"Edison, there's so much I want to talk about to you, may I borrow Edison for a moment, Olivia?" Mellie asks gleefully.
Oh no, don't leave me with this man.
"Sure, I'm sure you two will have so much to catch up on" I said
"Fitz, may I?" She said, asking a permission to her husband.
That man nods and smiles, giving her his permission.
Mellie smiles and asks Edison to follow her to meet their other colleagues.
"Excuse me" I said to that man, leaving him while walking to the bar.
I need more drinks.
I take a glass of wine and walking to the garden. There's nobody so I can clear my minds
"You know, it's very rude to leave me alone like that"
That man shows up, his hands are on his pockets.
"I already excused myself" I said facing him, hoping that he would just go away
"My wife and your spouse are talking to their friends right now, so you and me left all alone" he said, walking closer towards me.
"What are you implying?"
"I just wanna know if you want to accompany me while my wife is away, we can talk... Or something" He already invade my space and look me straight in the eyes.
"Can I ask something?" I take a step backward so I can breathe.
"Sure"
"Why did you looking at me all night like some kind of pervert?"
He laughs lightly, then stare my eyes again.
"I don't know, why don't you tell me, Olivia? Why don't you tell me something about you that make me want to rip all your clothes and leave my mark all over your body?" He whispers in deep voice.
We're just an inch apart, I can hear his breathing, my heartbeat is so fast I can feel it my ears.
I should be offended, even angry, but I'm not.
He's already electrifying me with his voice.
I can feel butterflies on my stomach.
This is crazy.
This man is crazy.
I need to be as far away from him as possible.
