Unending Desire

Underground bar

Frieah is soaking with her sweat looking at the limited edition phone scattered on the floor with its screen visibility broken.

She can only count with her fingers the person who joined the bidding that time it was officially out for auction. So only a few people in Z city owned it. Not even Nicolo, although he wanted it so much. Frieah’s sobs can be heard while thinking of how she is going to pay for it. Because even if she sells her soul and virginity to the lawn sharks, it will still not be enough.

Slowly, Frieah lifted her gaze, ready to plead with whoever she bumped into. But the moment their eyes met, Freiah almost got burned with the man’s stare. Feeling agitated and terrified, she gathered all her strength to stand up and move as fast as she could. Freiah even forgot about her aching butt for a moment to get away from the man with her wobbly legs.

“Why him, of all the people in Z city, why him?” Frieah questioned with her shaking voice. She was afraid of what might happen to her next. People in Z city had this saying of ‘Mess up with the whole world! But not with the man who is known for his heartless reputation.’ For the man is a human devil living in this world.

“Augh! You are so clumsy, Frieah,” She frustratedly scolded herself.

Frieah’s face only lit up seeing the door of Nicolo’s condo. When she rubbed her aching butt, Frieah noticed a rectangular-shaped hard thing stuck on her back jeans pocket. And then Frieah remembered the card key that she purposely put in her pocket when she got out of the car.

“s**t! A granny’s memory on the body of a twenty-three years old woman . . .” She mumbled, feeling disappointed.

Thinking about the phone and her zero-balance bank account gives Frieah a great headache. She had made a promise to herself before that when she graduated and got a job, she would no longer ask for financial help from her big sister again. She doesn’t want to drag Nicolo into the mess that she made either. So, in other words, the situation leaves her no choice.

Looking at her behind, Frieah heaves a deep sigh thinking she was not being followed. Feeling paranoid that someone might suddenly assassinate her, she got the card key and quickly got in.

When she’s finally inside, Frieah’s smiles when she sees Nicolo’s painted picture hanging on the wall. She was mesmerized by the dazzling perfect smile of the man she loves.

“Sweety . . .” In an instant, all her worries were gone, and her mood became peaceful and loved.

“Tonight . . . I will fulfill my promise to you, sweety.” Freiah giggled softly. She slowly walked towards the common bathroom, trying not to make any sound. Then she took the sexy metallic white fitted dress out from the paper bag. “This is it,” she said, trying to cheer herself up and push her nervousness away. Thinking about the promise that she said to Nicolo, they could only level up their intimacy when she graduated from college. Frieah believed that her boyfriend respected her so much that Nicolo never forced her to do anything and only gave her a forehead kiss every time he missed her. It’s like a dream come true for Freiah that an almost God-like man would wait for a woman like her, not so special but trying.

Before leaving the bathroom, Frieah looked at herself in the full body-size mirror again. Thinking that even though she is not as beautiful and flawless as her sister, no one can deny how perfect her body shape is. Her skin complexion is not white but pale. Then she realized that she looks like a sexy white lady in her dress.

“My gosh, I hope Nicolo would like this,” She said with her palm starting to get sweaty again.

Then Freiah took the pair of red heels in the paper bag. She couldn’t help but chuckle. Freiah felt like a cheap girl with her get-up.

When she was about to open the door of Nicolo’s room, she suddenly heard strange noises. But no matter how hard she thinks that it is only a strange noise, Frieah couldn’t change the fact that it sounds exactly like moaning. Freiah quickly leaned on the door.

“Yes baby, ah . . . just like that!”

“Ohhh f****, baby . . . you’re so f*****g tight.”

Frieah’s body froze because she knew those voices badly. With her shaking hand, Frieah opens the door. She can see what’s exactly happening, but her mind and heart don’t want to process everything. She only stood there, and It seems like watching a live f**k performance while her tears constantly flowing.

“Damn, baby! I’m cumming . . .”

“Ohhh yeah! God! Me too . . .”

Frieah didn’t know how to react. The pain of seeing her beloved sister on top of her beloved boyfriend makes her feel like she’s gonna lose herself anytime.

“That was great lovemaking, baby,” Nicolo said. That made Frieah feel even more miserable.

“I love you, Nicolo.”

“I love you more, my queen.” Frieah almost loses her consciousness hearing Nicolo’s words. Every word that came out of Nicolo’s mouth feels like a sharp dagger directly piercing Frieah’s heart.

Brieanna and Nicolo’s attention got caught when they heard Frieah’s loud applause.

She was mad, she wanted to punish them and yell at them, but she just stood there helpless and broken.

Brieanna stood while slowly wrapped her body with a white robe and looked at Frieah with her signature poker face.

“What are you doing here?”

Frieah wanted to laugh hearing these words. Why does she feel like she was the outsider here? She felt like she’s the one who stole Nicolo from her sister?

“I-I, I’m just here to wish my beloved Nicolo a happy birthday! Haha, a-and I guess he’s having a perfect time and a happy day. I’m so happy for both of you,” She’s feeling numb. Frieah laughs like a lunatic while looking at them. She hoped for Nicolo to explain everything, but he was just there, staring at her like he was enjoying the show.

“Did you ever love me, Nicolo?” Frieah smiled bitterly, seeing Nicolo’s eyes unbothered while she’s hurting.

Without waiting for a word, Frieah ran as fast as she could. She could no longer hold back her tears. She cried herself out while running away. Inside the elevator, everyone was looking at her. But she doesn’t care about any of it. When it reached the first floor, Frieah quickly got away from everyone.

“Ah!” She screamed, feeling the pain from her heart more than her aching leg when she fell and broke her heels.

“Ma’am, are you okay?” The two guards came rushing to help Frieah up.

While looking at them, She wanted to shout and ask the two if she looked okay. But she didn’t; instead, she showed them her sweet smile like she always does.

“Ye-yes, I’m okay. Thank you for helping me. But, Sir, can I ask where to find the underground bar here?” Frieah asks, trying to hold back her tears.

“We can bring you there, ma’am. But you know the rules. Only the VIPs are allowed inside.”

“I know, Sir. But it’s Mr.Hidalgo’s request. She wanted me to meet someone there and get his stuff from that person.”

“Then, we can’t do anything about that, ma’am, such VIPs.” Frieah smile hearing the man’s words.

When the three of them finally reached the entrance. The two guards who helped Frieah earlier talked to the bouncers for a moment then gave her a thumbs up. Seeing this, Frieah waves them goodbye and hurriedly enters the underground bar.
