Resemblance 4
The bar runs slower than it seems to be. The lights were going damped and dim and the music began to sound so sickly sweet. The air-conditioner feels so hot and it makes the man go wasted in every minute passed by. He swayed a little, from side to side while holding his glass. He's spacious and drunk, he didn't even know where to look at. His gaze turns around in front of the stock shelf and laughs in pity. He hiccuped and laughs again, letting his mouth open to taste the last drop in the glass. He licked his lips and turns around, bending over to release a forming pain in his body.
"Didn't know you're that drunk, sugar."
He looks from his left side and saw no one. He scratched his ear and heard someone sitting right next to him.
"Looks like you're all alone. Oh, silly. I am here also." She threaded her orange hair on her back of her hand and waved it. "Are you free tonight?" She puts her glass beside Sebastian's emptied drink. "I need someone to fill me." Sebastian looked at her, deeply. Sebastian hiccuped again and she chuckled.
"You look so...damn good." She intertwined her leg into Sebastian's legs and Sebastian felt more dizzier than ever. Sebastian swayed a little and his head bumps at her shoulder. He breathes heavily and his chest comes up and down in a rapid breathing. The woman didn't said anything and moves her hand downwards, reaching Sebastian's belt. Feeling the metal on it, she slowly holds it when a hand stopped her.
" This isnt a club, Mathilda. " Ciel gives a space by releasing Mathilda's hand. " And why are you still here, can I ask? " Ciel folds the last napkin to be place inside the cabinet. " It's already 3 in the morning. " He jumped and swung his body to the side and put the napkin in.
Mathilda laughs and slump her back on the counter. "Those two left me here. Grabbing some hotties with them. Is it fair to leave me... Unloved?" She waves her hand infront of her face and keeps on looking at the air conditioner at the same time.
Ciel nods slowly and looks at the man who was nearly into his deep slumber. Mathilda looks at Ciel's face and found him looking at the man beside her. She looks at Sebastian with lusted eyes. "This guy...sure got the looks." She started to comb the man's hair in slow motion.
"Yeah, but having this kind of sexual harassment here is not a good idea, dont you think. You're a lady yourself for crying out loud."
"He came here to have fun... Just like me." Mathilda protested and waves her dollars. " Here's the tip...Now, can I have this man now. " Ciel saw Mathilda's hand massaging the man's leg.
"Hands off. And thanks for this. Better run along, I've got some other errands to do. Like...finding this guy's address or so." Ciel kept the tip in his pocket and carried Mathilda out of the bar and sets her a cab.
Ciel returns inside the bar and saw the man laying on the floor. He found it embarrassing and stand the man up. "Hey, Mr. who. I need to know what's your address. You need to go home now."
The man raised his arms and swirled in the air while laughing. " I'm okay!~ I'm fine. I can goooo. Go home by myself. " Sebastian throws his chin on Ciel's head.
Ciel rubbed his eyebrow. " No, I mean, where do you live? Give me your address and the cab will do the honors." Ciel sat the man on the cement floor, outside the club.
" NO! I said I can do it myself. " Sebastian said while trying to get up. " Walking is a good idea. Saving money is a good thing... yes, a good thing." Sebastian finds the club's door and handled himself to get up which failed and Ciel helps him to get up.
"Hey, earlier you almost gave me all your money inside your expensive wallet and you expect me to let you off? Let you walk all over the city like that? You may do something stupid without someone looking out with you. I'll find the cab."
Ciel let Sebastian to lean on a nearest tree and tries to catch a cab.
" It...it doesnt matter... I'll call someone to fetch me up."
" Really? In a time like this? Are you even awake?" He bend his knee and looks at the weary, drunk man.
Sebastian looks at him in half-closed eyes and closed his eyes. " Please...don't look at me." Ciel waited at the taxi bay. Sebastian wanders his head and looked at the 19 year old boy, well he looked like a 19 year old to him. He remembered earlier how he held Ciel's face. How the smooth skin touched his hands. How his face looked like his fiance. How those eyes resembles his fiance's. How those lips look like...hers.
He punched his head thrice and steady his breathing. Drinking is a bad idea. He remembered something and grits his teeth in anger.
"...Betrayal."
"Did you say something?" Ciel said while opening an umbrella. " The cab is already there." Ciel pointed out the yellow taxi and smiled. Sebastian stands up but was caught by Ciel's arms.
"I can walk."
"I dont see it that way." Ciel taps his shoes and handled Sebastian into the taxi. It beats the hell out of Sebastian's pride.
"Where to?" The taxi driver said.
Ciel looks at Sebastian and noticed the rain is getting heavier than expected.
"Near...Uhh...You know...Atlanta Condos? Take me there."
The driver seemed confused on Sebastian's direction. Instead, Ciel hopped up. " Ill tell you the directions. "
Finally, Sebastian drifted into his sleep.
"Urgh! So heav-yyy" Ciel said while carrying Sebastian in a; mostly like a piggyback. He slide the keycard into the secured door and opened it. He dropped the keycard somewhere near the front door and sets himself into the bedroom. With the heavy varsity bag on his other arm, he dropped it as well.
"Argh! this is so frustrating! I even paid your night here. Tips are gone, too. Cant help opening someone's wallet..." Ciel said while opening the fridge. "It doesnt matter if he charge some of the foods here. I bought this room for him. Hospitality sucks." Ciel mumbled while opening an energy drink.
He saw his varsity bag, lazily and slumped back as he reached it to open. He took out his sketching pad and other materials. He opened the lamp on the desk and sits on the desk chair. It's already 4 in the morning and he really need the 'rest' he found on his dictionary when he's in grade 1. He laughed, nothing really matters when you need cash.
He afforded a luxury condo because of this man. This man who was lying moments ago on the bed. Helplessly. He shook his head, if Alois was here, he knows what will happen afterwards. He closed his eyes and focused his mind. He eased his mind from what happened earlier. He concentrate again and thinks about some designs for his uncle, whose a fashion designer. Ciel wants to be as well. He wants to own his uncle's little company.
That will save him.
He started to draw some ladies clothes, something that fits at the weather today, so jackets are number one for now.
The time passed by and he didnt even bother to look at the clock. The sun is giving him the clue. He didnt slept and the energy drink is pretty gone to his resistant. He didnt even know that he fell asleep.
Sebastian coughed and clears his throat. Never felt something burning in his throat. He sat up and rubbed his face a few times and stop for the mean time. He wobble a little and sat up straight again. Wasted.
He opened his eyes and took a look in this room. Colors are unorganized, doesnt fit right. He rejected this room and slips a pair of slippers and wonders around. He opened the bedroom door and headed to the kitchen. Opening the fridge and saw the list, sticking on the fridge's door.
'' Foods Inside ''
*3 ENERGY DRINK = 3$ each
*2 SLICED CAKE = 3.75 each
*1 LITER OF ICE CREAM = 10$
* 2 CREAM PUFFS = 10$ each
*Medicines = free.
' Please close the fridge immediately after choosing '
Sebastian decided to pick some cream puffs and saw the fridge...empty. He feels weird, there should be something in here. He looked around and saw the phone near the desk.
'Room service...Room service.' He was about to reach the phone when he saw someone, sleeping on the desk. At first he stepped away but he realized it's someone he knew last night. Sebastian shook him but it didnt move.
'Someone's dead...' He saw the drawings that fell on the floor. He picked it up and mesmerize the drawing. He looked again at the sleeping person beside him. He clears his throat and sat on the living room, While looking at the drawings.
Ciel woke up and looked at his phone. It's already 2 pm. He stands up and opens the bedroom door, he have to know where the drunk man went. He saw no one and scratched his head. 'Where the hell did he go?' He sighed, he can't do anything. He seemed acting so cold all of a sudden. 'What do I get with a drunk man? What am I expecting?' Ciel decided to go home. He remembered to pack his drawings when he found the drawings were not there anymore.
He panicked, he looked under the table, trash bins and somewhere else.
It's almost due time and he packed his belongings. He gave up.
'Well, I can still make those designs again... right?' Ciel sounded depress. Redoing again something you're done is exhausting. He went to the first floor and gave the lady the keycard to the room.
"Oh, Mr. Phantomhive. Mr... Michaelis left you something." She handed Ciel a flat envelope. Ciel twist and turn it while walking away.
He reached his apartment and opened the envelope, inside: a piece of paper, a calling card and a check. Ciel opened the letter first and read it.
'Hello, I dont know what to say but Thanks for the night. I appreciate your hospitality and I'm very happy about it.
This got to be awkward, but, I saw few of your designs and I planned on taking it with them.
And the check is the payment for the room and of course, the desserts and all the things you ate inside the fridge.
Maybe, that's the reward for giving me your honest hospitality? Anyway, I dont want this letter to be long.
I'll be waiting for your arrival at Rapsa Restau. 7pm. I've got something you possessed.
-S.M.
Ciel frowned. So that man have his drawings. He went hell to look for that. Nothing changes. Maybe, he'll pick it up later. Right now, he needs to call Alois for skipping again on his job. What a tiring day it is.
"I'd call you later. I just need to check this documents before I go... Okay. Bye." Claude snaps his phone while shuffling papers on his desk. He thought he could make that happen last night. He thought that Sebastian will, eventually, kill himself. Commit suicide, Hit and run or whatever. He taps his shoes while combing his hair, back and forth.
" I don't want to surprise you here, but this actually pisses me off." Hannah opened the door. Wearing a casual clothes. She closed the door and locked it. " Didn't I tell you? How idiot could you be? You're just wasting your time... OUR time to be exact." She sits on the desk and crosses her legs. Showing her skin to Claude's eyes.
He sighed in complete annoyance and held Hannah's left leg. " Yes, I am pretty stupid about it. I'm sorry. I'm kind of stupid and I admit it." He looked at Hannah who was glaring at him the whole time. "Do you have any plans? " Claude continued to massage Hannah's leg until her ankle.
Hannah pushed Claude's hand away from her. " Stop acting like an idiot. You should have made him kill himself. Do you know how that plan could work so well?"
"PLEASE. I'm just trying my best. I know, I know I'm dumb to think that way! But dont push that on my face that I made a dumb decision!-"
The door creaked open that stopped Claude from talking. Didn't Hannah locked the door? Sebastian looks at them as he fanned the papers on his face. "Didn't mean to bother you two. But, I've got something to discuss with Claude, Hannah. "
Hannah stands up as she dusted off her clothes. She combed her hair with her fingers and looked at Sebastian. "He's all yours. " Hannah glared as she walks away. Sebastian tic his tongue in annoyance. He looked at Claude who was scratching his forehead, he walks to him and handed the papers. " Look at this. " Claude looked at Sebastian and snatched the papers to look at them. It takes 5 minutes as he saw Claude's expression changes " Well, what do you think? " His eyebrow rose as he looked at Claude.
"The... The designs are unique. Where did you get this? From-"
"Someone I know last night. When you left... I met him."
"A guy?"
"Yeah... He have lots of them. I can guess he have lots of it, because of his skills that you can see in those drawings." He pointed the name below. " This person was named C.P or Ciel Phantomhive." He took the designs and mesmerized it again. " What can you say? "
"They...look so enchanting. The colors and patterns are perfect. Everything is lined up well. A magnificent masterpieces. " Claude said. Claude can never lie, the designs are really elegant and pleasing to the eyes. He haven't drawn that caught Sebastian's eyes, those eyes that never lies. He grit his teeth in silence as he thought about the drawing was from Sebastian's dead fiance. He noticed Sebastian nodded at his positive response.
"Well, I've gotta go. I made some meeting with someone. So, I can't be available tonight."
Claude was shocked. It seems that Sebastian moved on.
" You seem bright? "
Sebastian coughs and opens the door. " I thought you wouldn't say that. " Sebastian left the room.
Claude walks slowly to his desk as he sits on the chair. "Something's odd."
" Sorry, Mr. Lau. I can't really have the time to work here for tonight, Alois will be covering for me. " Ciel as he was standing beside the door of Lau's office.
"Oh my, It's okay. If it's something important for you then I dont mind." He waved his hand as he caress Ran Mao's hip. Ciel bows and called Alois outside. " He approved you stay. So, I better get going. " Alois gave Ciel his varsity bag and opens the back door.
"Your tips are mine!" Alois snickered and closed the back door. Ciel sighed and rushed to the taxi bay. He needs to go to the Rapsa Rastau. now.
He took the cab and told him the details.
" Here's your champagne, sir. El carter." The waiter opened the wine and poured it in. Sebastian smiled and took the drink and drank it. It's 7:20 pm and Ciel is behind schedule. Sebastian opened the brown envelope and looked at the designs. It stuns the being of him.
"Well! I was so surprised to meet you again, Mr. who. " Ciel said as he sat infront of Sebastian. "So," He put his elbows on the table and his hands were under his chin. "Where's my belongings? " Ciel hummed to his last sentence. Sebastian puts the envelope on his lap and leaned on the table. He was staring at Ciel the whole time. Ciel leaned back to his chair and scratch his head. "Listen, I even skipped my job to have the drawings. So, can I have it?" Ciel said in a considerate tone. He really need it back. The due date is tomorrow. He called his uncle that he needed it tomorrow or later. That kicks his soul.
" Yes, I know that. I do have something you belong. I wont hesitate to give it to you since it's yours. " Sebastian grabbed the wine and poured it in Ciel's wine glass. " It's El Carter 1989. Best wine that I can recommend."
" I'm not here to drink your champagne. I just want to have my drawings back. I need it." Ciel raised his hand and demanding to have the drawings now.
Sebastian nodded and grabbed the envelope on his lap and gave it to Ciel. Ciel opened it and tries to remember if it's complete or anything. He nodded, He thinks this is enough.
"Thanks, I'll be going now."
"No, wait-!" Sebastian stands up as he held Ciel's wrist. " I want to talk about something. It's urgent. " Ciel looks at Sebastian and sighs.
" Let me go first. " Sebastian released his grip and found him paralyzed for the moment. Sebastian stood there while Ciel sat on the chair. " Well, are you going to sit? " Sebastian dropped his body on the chair. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Remember last night when I'm totally drunk? I talked nonsense and told you something unimportant... like, about my," Sebastian stopped and scratched his nose. Ciel directly leaned into the table.
" Yeah... you called me your fiance. Are you gay? "
"NO! No... I'm not."
"Then... why did you called me as your fiance? A woman? "
" OF COURSE!," Sebastian stopped as he shout infront of Ciel " I'm sorry, I didnt mean to shout. I'm not a homo. And, you looked like my fiance. A woman to be exact." Ciel nodded.
" So, I looked like your fiance. Where is she? Did she dumped you? "
" She's dead. "
" I'm sorry... I,"
" She was killed. "
" By who? "
Sebastian stopped. 'Is this right? Why did I suddenly told him this? What happened to me?' Sebastian remained silent and he didnt move. He swallowed the saliva forming to his mouth. Why did he suddenly, BLUNTLY, told this guy his matters?
" I was kidding...No... I- "
"Look, It's okay if you don't want to tell me. This is getting annoying. I'll just-"
" Help me. "
Ciel looks at him as he attempted to stand up. Ciel sat again and looked curios. " Help you? Come on, I can't just stay here for the time being. Just tell me and I'll figure it out if I can."
"Help me... to get revenge. You'll be perfect." Sebastian shook his head and covered his face by the shadow.
'What? Are you kidding me? I'll play along for a bit.' Ciel thought as he drank the wine beside him. "Then, what do I get?"
Sebastian gave up. This is ridiculous. But, He cant give this company to his step-brother. He doesnt trust any people nor his relatives. They're all greedy, selfish and cruel. Nobody has the right to have it. His fiance should be named after him but, she died. She's the reason that he needs to do this. To get revenge for her death. A revenge for her death. The people who lies, betrayed him is non other than Claude Faustus and Hannah Annafelloz. Those two planned it. Two years ago... He sighed and looked at Ciel. It's best for this way. " You'll inherit my company. Everything I own will be yours if you helped me. " Yes, Sebastian is desperate to have this revenge.
"WHOA! I'm just asking a some cents here?! I didn't mean that kind of- Wait?...Why do you want to get revenge so badly?" Ciel dropped his glass on the table. " And... I'm not that helpful if you ask me."
"You draw magnificently and extraordinary designs. You have this originality in you, the way you ...this is first step to their destruction. You."
Ciel gape and looks at the other way. This is the first time someone called his creations; magnificent, extraordinary and originality gives him the happiness and completeness to himself. " Are you sure about lending me the company? "
"I'm not lending it to you, I'm giving it. IF you fulfill my request." Sebastian takes out a paper and a pen beside Ciel. " This is. This is the contract. This will be unbreakable. " Sebastian handed the pen and put it in Ciel's hand. " Sign this. Then in the future, you will have my company." Sebastian cleared his throat. He needed Ciel. He need this guy to complete his revenge.
Ciel took the pen and signed it. " Nothing's gonna happen something bad, right?"
Sebastian exhaled and felt relief on his body. " To us, NO. To them, certainly. "
Sebastian kept the paper inside his coat and stands up. " I'll be expecting you in my office tomorrow, 8am. " Ciel nodded slowly as Sebastian turns around to leaves the restaurant. He entered the car and gripped the steering wheel. The game begins tomorrow. Hannah Annafelloz is the prey for him.
THAT WAS SOOOO LONG. XD
Anyways, Hannah is the first person Sebastian wanted to take so let's see in the next chapter.
