They formed the words in a gorgeous cursive
font:
[Tiffany, I Love You.]
A few seconds later, there were thousands of
fireworks.
It was gorgeous.
People were saying, “Wow, who’s that rich
guy making the grand gesture?”
“Ah, yet another day being just an NPC in
someone else’s story.”
I torturously went to my social media feed.
く
I saw Tiffany’s post.
“True love is, whenever I say I want him, he’ll
put on a grand display of love.”
And the photo was of the drone message.

When you hit rock bottom, you’re not that
different from a crazy person.
I bought a lot of alcohol.
There were too many people at the harbor. Ethan and Tiffany were surrounded by oblivious onlookers, they didn’t even notice
- me.
I watched them for a long time.

Then I realized the number of empty bottles
by my side, that I couldn’t see straight.
I knew I had to leave.
I stumbled out of the harbor, trying to walk
down the street, when I bumped into a man.
“Watch out” he said grabbing my arm to
steady me.
I looked up and saw him.
Chad. Chad Stevenson. Tech CEO, heir to the
Stevenson Corp.
We had a few business dealings.
A lot of my success was because of his
く
He was the opposite of Ethan. There were
never any women around him.
People whispered about him being gay.
He never denied it.
“Summer?”
He held me up, frowning. “What’s with all the
drinking?”
He smelled good, clean.
Unlike Ethan, who was always covered in
Tiffany’s perfume.
“Chad, people say you’re into guys, is it
true?”
く
I don’t know why I said it.
My tongue felt numb, the alcohol probably.
Chad froze. Then, with a sigh, he helped me
into his Rolls Royce.
Maybe it was that he looked good.
Maybe it was the alcohol clouding my
judgement.
Or maybe, I was just trying to get back at
Ethan.
I scooted closer to Chad and kissed him on
the cheek.
He stared at me, his eyes wide.
く
His pale skin suddenly turned a faint red.
I did something crazy and straddled him.
“Chad, you want to give this a try with me?”
I was way too close to him, my lips almost
brushing his ear.
He was so soft.
I kissed him on the ear.
His ear was warm.
A hoarse voice came from above my head. “Summer, get a hold of yourself.”
I laughed, “I am in control. I know that you guys just want someone young and hot, one
く
I was feeling hot and wanted to go
somewhere cool.
He tensed, his eyes dark.
I grabbed his face and kissed him.
He didn’t pull away this time.
His lips were cool, with a hint of mint.
He smelled so good.
I was starting to feel dizzy, like I couldn’t
breathe.
He held the back of my head with one hand,
and wrapped his arm around my waist.
Forcing me to kiss him.
“Mmm…”
A panel rose between the seats, blocking us
off.
He finally broke away, his voice hoarse.
“Summer, I’m not into men. I also don’t want
anyone young.
Huh? He was being slow.
We were making out, why was he talking
about this.
The alcohol was messing with my head.
Before I could process that, he started the
car.
く
Soon, we got to his place.
Chad picked me up and carried me through
the foyer, up the stairs and into a bedroom,
before placing me on the bed.
He stood there, looking down at me.
I stared at his lips.
The ones I had just kissed, wet and swollen.
And then I looked at his chest. A few buttons
of his shirt were undone.
His collarbone was so alluring. He looked like
a male temptress.
He smirked and pulled my hand under his
shirt. “Summer, you want this?”

“Yes… I want…“.
When he got his answer, Chad came down on
me, kissing me deeply.
It was not like the other kisses, they were
more intense.
As if he was trying to claim me.
His hot kisses moved all over my body.
“Summer, do you like this?”
My face was on fire, I wrapped my arms.
around Chad, tightly.
