Chapter 1 A Sea of Choices

BLYTHE

"I wish you could also arrange your life beautifully the way you make your flower arrangements. Don't you get tired? Well, I do. How many more times do I have to come here and remind you how toxic your relationship is with your boyfriend? Wake up, Blythe."

If there was one person who was never a fan of my current relationship, that would be her-Cleo, my best friend. This scene had happened so many times already, it was a good thing that everytime I would need her, she would always show up.

"Look, I asked you to come over so you can help me sort things out," I told her while I was working with a flower arrangement that would be picked up in thirty minutes.

"Oh yeah? Honestly, it didn't look like it!" The moment she reached where I was, she started scrutinizing each part of me as if she was looking for something.

"He didn't hit me, okay? If that's what you're thinking," I said to her, while she was pulling my sleeves up as if I was hiding something underneath them.

"Maybe not yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if he will resort to hurting you soon," she said with such a disapproving look.

Cleo had been very protective of me, she was a year older and she was more like a big sister to me. She hated Finnian, she thought that my boyfriend could do me no good at all.

"What do you want me to do now? Tell you that it's okay, that things will work out soon in your favor. Goddammit, Blythe, when will you ever realize that Finnian is nothing but an asshole?"

She was right, Finnian could never be the man that I wanted him to be. The only thing that he was good at was hurting me, and I wanted to get rid of him already. Although, honestly, I had no idea how to do it because I was really head over heels with him.

"Okay, I'm listening, tell me what happened?" She asked enthusiastically.

"I was going to surprise him last night, so I went to his apartment. It was locked when I got there, so I called him up. He told me he was just somewhere getting some stuff. I was about to leave the building when I decided to check his car in the parking area, and it was there. So, I went up to his unit again and decided to stay outside. After two hours of waiting, my heart raced when the door opened and a woman came out."

Cleo stared at me with her usual sarcastic expression, "and then? When he found out that you were outside waiting, he told you that the woman was his sister?"

"Will you let me finish?" I asked.

"Hey, do you think I'm interested to know what happens next? It's as if you don't know that he is cheating."

I knew Cleo was already fed up by all these cheating issues from my boyfriend, but she was more fed up with me still wanting to be with Finnian regardless of the number of times that I caught him.

I was about to say something when the door of my flower shop opened, it was my client picking up the arrangement that I did.

"Just like how I wanted, it's beautiful. Thank you, Blythe," my customer told me, looking very satisfied with my work.

"Thank you, Adam, I am sure your wife will love it," I replied.

The moment that my customer had gone out of the shop, Cleo called my assistant and instructed her to start with the closing chores. Even before I could say a thing, Cleo had already started fixing my table. She handed me my bag and she told me that we were going to a bar.

"What?" I asked her while she was pushing me towards the door.

"What do you expect? I will come over and listen to you the entire night? I heard that before, Blythe. Come on, let's just grab some drinks. Your dramas are already bored me, let's do something else!" Cleo signaled to my staff, Ellis, and the latter just nodded at her.

She didn't agree when I told her that I would just use my car, but instead, she pushed me inside hers. It didn't take us long to reach Neon Nights Night Club that was located not too far from where I live.

"Seriously?" I looked at her with disbelief.

"Seriously!" She replied. "Now change your boring lipstick into this!" She took out lipstick from her purse, and it revealed a dark cherry color after she took the lid off.

"I don't wear red lipstick, you know that."

She moved her face closer to mine and raised her left brow, "you will take this lipstick and you will like it."

When I was about to say no, she grabbed my nape and pulled my head closer to her.

"Okay! Okay! I'll do it." I took the lipstick and started gliding it on my lips. When I checked how I looked in the mirror, I was surprised to see that I could actually look good in it.

"Take that jacket off," she demanded.

"No, I'm only wearing a tank top," I said to her.

She didn't say a word but her glances were razor sharp as if she was about to slash my throat with her eyes.

It was Friday then, and there was no queue outside yet because it was only seven in the evening. Cleo told me that it could really get crowded by eleven, but I wasn't planning to stay there until that time.

I wasn't surprised when the staff there seemed to know Cleo. She liked going out on weekends, and I think this club was her go-to party place. She easily got us a table, and the next thing I knew I was already seated on one of the v.i.p couches.

"What do you want to drink?" She asked me, her mouth was almost pressed against my ear, but I could hardly hear her because the music was very loud.

"Just a bottle of corona or becks, whichever they have," I replied.

"Don't be ridiculous, get something else!"

I didn't want to argue with her anymore, that was why I told her to just get whatever she felt like getting.

"Vodka!" She screamed at the server who was standing in front of us.

I had never tried Vodka before; I had Tequila once, but I never tried it again after. I wasn't really into alcohol, I prefer coffee over it. I was not also into night clubs and loud music, I loved staying in a café where they played jazz and anything slow and instrumental.

I really wanted to vent about how I felt towards Finnian, but I thought that I called the wrong person-Cleo was more interested in me getting drunk, than listening to my rants. My first shot of vodka was so intense, it felt like it was burning my throat. I had to shake my head a couple of times, and Cleo laughed seeing me doing that.

"Can we mix something with it? It's too strong for me," I asked while still wincing.

She called up the waiter and asked for a can of lemon soda and some lemon wedges too. When the waiter returned, he started filling my glass with the soda, some vodka, and squeezed the lemon in it. It tasted better, but I could still trace the taste of vodka.

Cleo had gone a little wilder, she flirted with almost every man that would come near us. The crowd was a mixed up of young and old, and almost all of the tables were already occupied by 10PM. Cleo was all over the place, and watching her made me feel dizzy. I knew that the alcohol had taken its effect on me already. My head started to feel light, and I just found myself enjoying the beat and the loud bass.

"Behind you." I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, and when I turned to face him, I saw a very good looking man, probably just about my age.

I didn't realize that I had already gone near the bar where the man was seated. He smiled at me and raised his glass as if proposing a toast with me. I took some steps closer to him, and because I was already tipsy, I tripped and my head landed near his neck.

There was something in his scent that made me sniff his neck, and his chest felt so toned that I couldn't get my hand off of it.

"Watch it, sweety," he uttered, while he was trying to support my balance with his arms.

His lips were full, and his eyes were as if asking me to grab those lips. Instead of trying to regain my balance, I didn't budge and I stayed in my position. He was looking at me, with his face just a few inches away from me.

I grabbed his head and pulled him closer to me. I started kissing him, and I felt his hands starting to wrap around my waist.

"That felt so good, I want more," I asked him as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He pulled me closer, and I could feel his hands sliding from my waist down to my bottom.

"I know a better place, we can do more there," he whispered in my ears, while his hands started squeezing my behind.

"Take me anywhere," I replied, and I grabbed his lips again.
