Brad was trying desperately to break away from the persuasive girl who reeked of some sort of expensive perfume. When she forced him to dance with her, he was hesitant “I can’t dance.” He assured her.
She shrugged it off “I’ll lead then.” She took his hand and placed the other one on his shoulder as they began to waltz. Within five seconds he stepped on her high heel shoes, his mind was somewhere else and his eyes were definitely on someone else. “Ow!!” she shrieked.
He only muttered a short “Sorry.”
Mia and Darren on the other hand was keeping a close watch of Michael and Erin. She was definitely not comfortable since he was pushing her body against himself “Do you have to hold me so tight?” Erin couldn’t help her irritation.
Michael pulled her even closer as he laughed “Some girls like it.”
“Well good for you, I don’t.” Erin pushed herself off of him as they were the only couple not dancing on the floor “Excuse me.”
Suddenly he pulled her back by the arm “No one….no one, walks away from Michael Wu.” He said darkly.
“Erin, just hang in there.” Mia coaxed when she saw Michael pull by the arm.
Erin convinced herself to calm down as she smiled sweetly and took her free hand to place it over Michael’s “You sure can’t take a joke.” She giggled when his smile began to reappear.
“A girl with a sense of humor…I like that.” He took her hand in his own and wrapped his arm around her again. This time it wasn’t as tight “So, where are you from?”
“You need to ask? Don’t you have background checks on everyone?” she asked with a sense of sarcasm “Besides, I believe Reina has told you all about us.”
Michael smiled with satisfaction “Smart and beautiful, a definite dangerous combination. Did you like that gift I gave the agency?”
Erin frowned, not sure what he was talking about “If your talking about the coward break in…then no, sorry to disappoint you but we did not enjoy the gift too much.”
He laughed with his head thrown back “I like you…as a matter of fact, I’m this close of letting you become my concubine after I marry…oh…what’s her name?” he said without much feeling.
“Sorry, I don’t take second place.” Erin snapped as she pulled back “Now if you will excuse me, I have to throw up after hearing your offer.”
“You go girl!!” Darren complimented.
Mia shook her head at her boyfriend “You are so gay.”
He laughed while he pulled her in closer “I can prove you wrong.” He whispered.
Erin was walking away while she cringed at the thought “Oh guys…get a room…or at least turn off your headset.”
Doug’s laughter was the loudest as he approached Erin “Charming, dangerous, handsome and a sweettalker, what more can you ask for in a man?”
She rolled her eyes as she turned to see Michael walking over to Christina and Brad to break up their dance “He’s different alright.”
Brad was glad to be free as he nodded hastily to rejoin Erin and Doug “God, I thought she would be glued to me.”
Doug covered his nose as he waved a hand in front of Brad “Damn! You reek...”
“Cheap perfume on a cheap woman.” Erin snickered.
Brad smiled victoriously “Jealous?”
“Never.” Erin turned away.
Doug stood in the middle as he began backing away “Uh…maybe you two should work things out.”
“So much for that.” Mia muttered “Target approaching…Brad and Erin”
Brad and Erin looked up and found Michael along with his fiancé nodding at them “Could I have a word with you, Miss?” he asked Erin.
“I have nothing to say to you.” Erin turned away with annoyance. But Brad quickly gave her a shake of the head and she sighed while turning back “What is it?”
Michael smiled with amusement “My fiancé wanted to know if we can have a threesome.”
Erin’s face turned a red color “You’re joking right?”
“Of course!” Christina blurted out “I don’t like to share.” She said darkly.
Michael smiled grimly as his eyes turned down to hers “Yes…unfortunately, she doesn’t. But I would still like to have a word with Miss Yeung … outside.”
“Sure.” Erin decided.
“Erin, no! Joe said not leave with anyone.” Mia cautioned.
Darren shook his head “That’s not a good sign.”
Michael took her hand as he linked it through his own and led her out to the backyard where there were less people “Brad, follow her.” Joe commanded.
Mia snapped her head back “Wooh, where’d he come from?”
“Like a thief in the night.” Darren laughed at Mia’s shocked look.
By the time the two were outside, Michael turned to Erin “I have a business proposition for you.”
“Whatever it is, I’m not interested.” Erin replied too quickly.
He shook his head with interest “Reina was right, you sure are quick to judge.”
“Reina is a lying traitor.” Erin smiled sarcastically.
“Actually, she is quite loyal to me.” He smiled knowingly. He loved the way she looked when she was upset, yet he wondered what it would look like if she smiled at him genuinely “God, you’re beautiful!”
She turned her back with her arms crossed “And I’m sure every girl has heard that line before they stepped into bed with you.”
Michael laughed “You can say that. But this time, I’m being honest.”
“Really?” She spun herself back, making her dress fly in the air with a wave “I find that hard to believe.”
“Let me prove it to you….What do you like? Stuff animals? Flowers? Romantic dinner? Cars? Homes?” he asked eager to impress her.
She began to sense his personality coming out, he was a guy that couldn’t take a 'no' answer. If she was going to give in, he would definitely not want to bother with her. Erin smiled flirtatiously “I like for you….” She whispered as she leaned in closer to him, her fingers crawling up his biceps and she could feel them flexing before she reached around his shoulder to his neck. Her fingers rolled over his chin giving him chills as she pulled her face closer to his lips. They were centimeters away until she whispered “to go to hell.” Her smile faded as she pulled away and began walking away.
Michael felt his blood boiling as he pulled her roughly by the arm. Erin could see Brad’s concerned face as he took a step forward ready to come to her rescue “You have no idea how lucky you are!!” he growled not caring if anyone could hear.
Erin only found it more amusing now that she found his buttons “Let go.” She muttered. Michael refused as he tightened his arm around her wrist “You’ll be sorry.”
“Erin, don’t hit him!” Mia cried. She stared at Darren “Do something.” She pushed at him as the two raced out to the back yard.
“What’s wrong? Can’t take a little pain?” Michael asked when she cringed the minute he tightened his grip.
Brad was about to walk up before Erin could do anything drastic but Darren beat him to it as he came rushing out to intervene “Michael!” he announced his presence “I see you’ve met my friend, Erin.”
Michael’s face softened as he let go of her wrist, he turned to Darren “Your friend….” He nodded “Not for long.”
“What’s that suppose to mean?” Erin asked while she rubbed her wrist with her other unharmed hand.
“Oh no…I wouldn’t spoil the fun of you guessing.” He reached out to touch her chin when she snapped her head back and Darren took a step closer to Michael.
Darren shook his head “The lady doesn’t want to be touched.”
Michael smiled his crooked smile with a nod “Soon…” his eyes widened evilly “Soon…” he backed away and walked back into the ball with a colder aura.
Mia quickly rushed over to Erin while Brad stepped closer “You okay?” she asked Erin.
Erin shook her head “No, I really wanted to beat him up.”
“I could tell.” Darren muttered “I don’t know if I was saving him or you.”
Brad stood from behind “Let me see your wrist.” He brought out his hand and Erin placed her wrist on it, he could see the red finger mark still on it “He’s got no freaking manners!” it made him boil inside to see it happening yet he was ordered not to make a move.
Darren and Mia exchanged glances “Uh…we’re gonna join the party now.” Mia said with a knowing grin while Darren crossed his arms and looked at the two with interest “Come on!” she hissed at him but he still didn’t budge so she did what she knew would make him move. She poked him on the side of his ribs, a very sensitive ticklish spot for Darren. He began cackling like a rooster and chased after her inside.
Erin shook her head with a smile, she often envied the two with such a careless free nature. Their love was so pure and innocent “They’re cute together aren’t they?”
Brad turned his head to see Darren quickly stopping the minute he entered the mansion with all eyes on him. His arms placed behind him in a decent pose while he followed Mia into the living room. Brad nodded with a smile as he turned back “I wish we were like that.”
She looked up strangely “What?”
He held onto her hand as he reached down with the other hand and held onto it “Before I continue.” He smiled and touched his ear and reached over to touch her ear to turn off the device “I thought about what you said last night.”
Erin smiled coyly “What did I say?”
Brad shook his head with a grin “You’re not going to make it easy huh?” Erin shook her head “Fine…let me put the words in my own terms.” He sighed “You were right…I have been a coward and I’m sorry for putting you through this emotional rollercoaster. I guess I was so afraid of losing this friendship that I didn’t want to give us a try.”
“Brad…” she smiled more to herself “You are my only friend…for years you were the only person I could count on. There is no way of losing this friendship because if I did, I would be stuck with Mia…and Darren. And you know how well that’s gonna turn out.” The two laughed together at the thought of her being a third wheel “Whatever feelings I had for you…they were not there for no reason. I…I…”
“I like you too.” He finished her sentence. She let out a sigh and he laughed “Is that hard to say? I can say it again you know, I like you…I like you, Erin... Erin, I like you. Erin Yeung I really like you….” He continued while she blushed away “It’s easier once you get use to it….I LIKE YOU!!!” he yelled into the sky making her laugh.
Erin looked around and covered his mouth when he wouldn’t stop screaming “Shh!!..People are looking.” She whispered.
Brad pulled her hand off his mouth “Good…let them look. I’m done with being afraid.”
She grinned happily and then suddenly her face turned to worried “Crap! We forgot about the rest. Come on. We have to get back to them.” She touched her ear and so did Brad. The two exchanged glances when they heard a horrible painful moaning sound “Who is this?” she asked.
“Save me…someone.” Doug whispered. He was stuck dancing with Christina and she wasn’t about to let him go.
Christina was leaning on his shoulder when she looked up “What did you say?”
He shook his head “Nothing…just mumbling to myself.” He threw her a fake smile.
Erin and Brad shook their heads with a smile as they returned to the party. They found Christina using her full body to lean on Doug who was fighting the urge not to breathe “Oh God, what is she doing to him?” Erin wrinkled her brows.
They could hear Mia giggling like a hyena “Serves you right!!” she scolded.
From a distance, they could see Doug looking at them with wide, pleading eyes “Oh gosh, Mia…do something…” Erin groaned “I can’t take that puppy face.”
Mia let out a sigh as she left Darren’s side “Fine…Mia to the rescue…again.” She walked over to Christina and tapped her on the shoulder “Ahem!!” she cleared her throat which startled the comfortable girl “You’re on my boyfriend, bitch.” Her neck snapping back and forth.
Christina dropped her jaw in shock at the language “Excuse you! If you don’t mind, he’d rather dance with me.”
Mia shook her head with a sarcastic smirk “Girl, you wanna take this outside? Cause I haven’t gotten my fingers dirty all day and it’s itching to slap the bitch out of someone!”
Erin laughed “You tell her!!” Brad widened his eyes at her in shock making Erin blush “Girls get a bit violent.” She whispered.
“Look, you don’t have to act like a peasant…if you want him back, you can have him. He wasn’t much of a dancer anyways.” Christina brushed it off.
Mia stepped closer to the girls as she pushed her using her chest “What did you just say?”
The girl was appalled by her behavior as she stepped back “Look, I don’t want trouble…stupid Michael, I told him these guys are too low class to appreciate a beautiful woman.”
Erin and Brad exchanged glances “He was using her as a distraction?”
Brad nodded in agreement “Guys, be careful.” He warned.
The minute Christina was walking away, the entire mansion was blacked out with no electricity. Immediately the placed turned to chaos with everyone crying out for help. Erin and Brad immediately held hands afraid to lose each other “Mia, Doug…are you two still together?”
“Yeah…” Mia stood close to Doug who touched her shoulder to tell her he was there “Darren, where are you?”
“I don’t know…” he replied while being pushed back and forth. Suddenly an ear piercing scream was heard before a gunshot rang through the mansion like an echo.
