I keep refreshing her story until I saw one post that she just uploaded. It's a bar called La Madre, a place where I always hang around with Ashton after work almost every day. Well, today is just another day, except I told Ashton that I will be meeting him straight from home. I was hoping that Nadia hadn't left the bar yet by the time I arrive, and true enough that's when she approach me.
"Damien? What are you doing here?" she asked me as if she's seen a ghost. Her face was so adorable that I wished this sight is only for me to see.
"Hi princess. Fancy seeing you here again. I frequent this bar, so I decided to come today. You alone?" I'm hoping she came with her friend, the one I've been looking for to confirm but I don't see anyone with her.
"Umm, no I came with my friend but she's in the ladies," Nadia said, still shocked that I am standing in front of her. She quietly sits on the stool next to me and that's when a random man came beside her.
"Hey gorgeous. Care for a dance?" he asked, eyeing Nadia hungrily like she's a snack. Well, she is a snack, just mine alone and no one else.
"Dude, back off. She's mine if you can't see," I said behind her angrily. I might have stunned her, but I know I meant every word I said. The guy just walked away after muttering 'sorry' and Nadia turned to look at me. After few seconds, I saw a girl walked up to us, and that's when Ashton also looked at her with awed.
"Nadia, I looked everywhere for you!" I suspected her name was Nemaly and begin eyeing her. She still hasn't acknowledged me yet because the bar is dimly lit. I could sense Nadia is trying to make her look at me and see if I am someone she knows, and true enough she did look at me.
"Ohh shit! Mr Owen! What… what… I mean good day sir," Nemaly was stuttering while looking at me with horror and tried to pull Nadia away from me. Well, that's not something that I want now, would I. I tried to hold Nadia with me and smiled at her. "Good day. I assume you're Nemaly?" I tried to thread in lightly, not to scare the new incomers away from me.
"Yes, I am Nemaly. Umm I guess you already know Nadia. We've been friends since young," she started to politely introduce the girl that I was here for.
"Yes, and I'm sure she did ask you about me that's why she knows who I am. Or was it you who told her about me?" at this point, I enjoy playing mind games with these two ladies. Ashton was still looking at Nemaly and that's when I saw her eyes that she was always looking behind me.
"Ahh, my apologies. Ladies, this is Ashton, my friend and assistant at work. Nemaly, have you guys met?" I tried to play with my words, and I remember correctly, her face was flush. Is she blushing looking at Ashton or something?
"Yes, I've seen Mr Reid in the office before. I truly apologise for being rude, but we really have to go. Nadia has assignment that she needs to urgently do, right?" I could sense that Nemaly was being really shy and trying to pull my princess away from me.
