Redon

Chapter 4

Sayra

I sat at the barstool as I roam my eyes everywhere. This place is full of young people, actually in my case I'm still young but the world had opened my eyes and forced me to mature quickly than these people who are just partying and having fun every single night. Yes I am bitter, I hate how unfair the world is towards us. Why do we need to suffer while other people are just living life this easy? I will never understand why and will never accept this kind of situation.

I licked my lips as I stare at their shining jewelry and accessories. It is unfair that they waste their money buying them just to show off when the equivalent prices of those materials are enough to feed a whole family for a day.

I stared intently at the girl who's sitting on the barstool beside me, she's wearing a tight red dress that's paired with high heels. Even though it's dark, I can still notice the smoothness of her skin. Her face is covered with thick makeup that enhances her beautiful features. Her face is almost perfect but I know that she did a lot of surgeries for her to achieve that look.

I rolled my eyes in jealousy, not because of how pretty she is but because just sitting beside her forcefully made me realized how bad is my situation compared to her.

" What are you looking at?" She hissed at me raising her eyebrow making me grin tauntingly.

" You look good " I answered truthfully making her gape at me for a few seconds. After a while, she suddenly chuckled and looked at me from head to toe before giving me a mocking stare.

" Thanks " she said and then looked at the glass in front of her . I grimaced at how she responded to me . Ugh, she's a brat like how I expected.

" How much did you pay for your face?" I spoke and then stand up to go near her. Now she's sitting while I'm standing in front of her giving me more superiority.

" What did you say? " she said with her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. I'm pretty sure she heard me clearly but I'm not here to get into fights.

" I mean , you look so nice that I almost thought that you've undergone plastic surgeries, it's a compliment dear " I said and faked a chuckle which made her look at me weirdly.

She shook her head and then faced her glass which made me realized that she's not up to any fight. Well, I am too, I have a different thing to do .

I wonder how's Kyla right now. I hope she's treated well there. I looked around and stare at the crowd , trying to choose my first victim for today. I need to look for someone who's already drunk but I guess it's still too early . I need to steal at least jewelry or valuable accessories tonight because I need to hide from Lupo. I need to have at least a few cash before I run away.

" Hey Vienna , you got a friend here?" I heard a random guy talk to the girl earlier and found them staring at me. I smiled back and walk towards them. I guess I found the first victim.

" What do you mean , she's not a friend " Vienna, the girl earlier spoke rolling her eyes at me. I chuckled and lightly pat her shoulder making her glare at me sharply.

" Yeah we're acquaintances," I said and looked intently at the guy . He's tall and a bit chubby, he's not my type but not the worst either. He has a beard that's neatly trimmed and his eyes are black I guess, I can't tell 'cause it's dark here.

" Oh hi Miss " he politely said and offered his hands making me look at him curiously. Hmm, this guy is gay , I thought and smiled at him nicely. I can't possibly seduce a gay person.

It'll be good if I can get near the girls because they wear nice jewelry but that'll be impossible so I need to choose a guy. I sighed disappointedly and was about to turn my back when a male voice caught my attention.

" Yeah, lucky you that today is your birthday or else you won't see me here" his voice is not that deep but it somehow soothes me . It's calming and he sounds like he's not even trying to make his voice deeper as other guys do. That voice is somewhat attractive.

I looked at my right side and saw him walking past me while talking to a guy. I just saw a glimpse of his face , especially his nicely shaped nose and thick eyelashes. I unconsciously inhaled the air when I smelled his perfume that lingers in my nose. He smells good.

" Oh my god Vienna, I told you he'll be coming here today " the gay suddenly said pulling me back to reality.

The guy is already gone but I'm still in awe because of that moment. Wow, I haven't even seen his face.

" Yes I know, should we go up now? " Vienna said excitedly making me bit my lower lip. Are they talking about that guy?

" Oh do you want to come with us? There's a party on the second floor, it's my cousin's birthday " the gay suddenly asked me making me confused.

Why are they asking me all of the sudden? They don't know me?

" Why are you asking her- "

" Sure uh what is your name?" I cut Vienna off and then smiled sweetly at the gay guy. Looks like luck's on my side .

" Andy, I'm Andy , so let's go now " he answered and then hold me in my hand just like what he did to Vienna and pulled us towards the stairs.

I feel like the second floor is full of rich people, I thought and then grinned secretly. I hope to see the guy too, it's very unusual for me to get interested in a guy so I wanna see how he looks at least but of course I still need to steal.

The aura of the second floor is so different from downstairs. It's not that crowded and honestly, I think there are only about 10 to 20 people here. I licked my lips as I realized that it'll be harder to steal if there are few people. I'll get caught easily.

" Is this a private party?" I asked Andy and he just nodded at me making me cringe. Oh damn, need to go back down. I slowly removed his hands from holding mine.

If the second floor is for a private party then that means Kyla's in one of the private rooms below.

I slowly stepped back because I can't stay here. I won't be able to steal anything with a few people around me, I plan to use the crowd to my advantage but the whole floor for 20 people? Nah ah, this will be impossible.

I continued stepping backward but I gasped when my back hit a hard wall. I quickly turned around only to be frozen on the spot as I realized that it is not a wall but a tall good looking guy.

I gulped and panicked as I smell that familiar perfume from him. Oh s**t, I cursed inside my head and quickly looked down refusing to look directly at his face.

Come on, why do I have to bump on him? What should I do? Why am I even panicking? Get yourself together , Sayra!

My eyes widened as I notice a shiny ring in his right hand. I licked my lips when it turned dry at the sight of the jewelry. I'm sure that , that ring will cost a lot. My eyes wandered on his lower body and I felt my mouth watering as I look at his branded shoes and wristwatch. Damn, all I can see is money.

" Hey you okay? Dude?" He said poking my head with his fingers as if he's too scared to touch me. I felt my body heating up with the way he's acting towards me.

Ugh, why am I acting like a child now. I need to seduce guys not to be intimidated by someone just cause they smell nice or I like their voice!

I gulped, inhaled deeply, and then looked up while biting my lower lip to try and flirt but my mouth hang open when his emerald eyes stared directly at me melting all of my inhibitions.

Green, I thought as I stare intensely at his beautiful eyes. I gasped when he suddenly chuckled at my reaction making me blush in embarrassment.

I looked away and bit my lower lip when I realized what I did. What's happening to me, this is embarrassing.

" Are you drunk Miss? You should sit here first" he said while shaking laughing and bend his head to look at my face.

I can feel my cheeks turning red because of how close he is . This guy is a f*****g expert! I shouted inside my head when I realized what he is doing.

" Aww cute " he added while I can feel his warm breath against my face. I gulped hardly while I can feel my eyes tearing up in frustration and embarrassment.

For god's sake, I just want to steal.
