Fond of Erato Chapter 20

But now that that has happened, it seems like I just want to hide it in the trunk and open it only when Erato is there.

If this night could get any worse, I just don't know. I was not mistaken.

Jax came late and the party started as what it should be. It was the usual party you will see and I did enjoy it but not that much since this is not one of my requests.

I'm still thankful for the few people who attended it genuinely, and celebrated my special day. I still like to think that not everyone is having this, so it's embarrassing that I'm here sulking for a fucking one guy, while the others tonight are empty stomachs.

There are many guests that I don't know, daddy's fellow politicians and other people in the books.

Well, Erato is not in the book.

Damn him. Damn you, Erato.

I uttered inside my head while scanning the whole event place of the hotel. I didn't saw neither his shadow, a ghost with a hint overcame him.

I also regularly check my phone even in the middle of 18 candles while my so called friends are in tears.

Is it hard to type hbd? He can't have no load, an Asterial will lose a load? Damn his ass! He really meant it all.

"Where's Erato?"

I asked my brother Jax after the formal event, the people had already scattered and the group was his because of the catering.

Jax is talking with this college friend of his, he excused his self. I frowned as I wore this second gown of mine. Velvet red off shoulder gown with deep v cut showing my pale chest.

There is also a long slit on the left side of the dress showing my long legs.

"Baby girl, it's your night! Why is your face on Good Friday?"

I blinked and smirked.

"Just answer me brother. And cut that baby shit, it’s my debut and you still think of me as a baby?"

He laughed and I got more irritated.

"Family problem? I don't know."

Shrugging his shoulders and back to chatting with his group mates. I struggled even more as he stared at the woman in front of him. What kind of best friend is this?

Anyway, I don't even know where is Olivia. It's quiet tiring dealing with the guests the whole night. I'm trying to save my energy because there's still an after party in the mansion.

After the party, I came back in the suit to change into something more comfortable before going home.

There's a huge mirror on the wall and so I took the chance to pose and capture something so I can upload it on my account.

I took a mirror shot before changing my gown. I uploaded it right away with a caption.

Make it a good one.

That's what's inside of me. Praying and hoping that whoever gods can hear me they should at least make this night a good one before it ends.

When I was in the mansion and my request for celebration began, I felt better.

Because maybe most of here are my friends and I don’t have to have calculated moves. The party started wild.

Dad wasn't there because he decided to stay in the hotel because he knew the house would be a mess. He already gave me this day, though, the body guards are still somewhere.

More people are inside than outside. Most are in the pool area and in the vast free space in front of the mansion.

The adrenaline within my veins started to wake up slowly as the night deepens. I remember when I first brought friends here - I brought a whole section, now it’s not just the equivalent of one section.

I was so happy and care free at the moment. While madly playing beer pong in the pool area I thought the deity heard my prayer. I was so sure that this night will end as I expected it to be.

Not a bad one after all.

Wearing this red fit dress, I danced my ass off until my feet gave up. We girls make a lot of noise because of the men who are fooling around.

Some are having a dip in the pool playing wrestling game. I sat down with a group of my guy friends.

Olivia is already drunk and is messing with the ball on the pool table and dancing there. I'm almost tearing up laughing at her, alas and I can't hold my cellphone because that black mail would have been nice to her.

"Jade, smoke?"

I gasped a little when I felt one of the groups I belong to whisper to me now. I smirked feeling a bit tipsy. But I feel like I'm just tired.

I finished my shot of tequila and shook my head to the guy. I forgot his name. He's smoking and offering me one. I rolled my eyes at the smoke and coughed a little.

I looked around to see if my older brother was there.

"Jax will scold me."

"Damn Jade, you're legal now." He teased me.

I bit my lip and suddenly feeling a bit provoked. I looked around again and took the cigarette from his lips.

I've tried this before and it tastes like shit. One hit of it and I coughed so bad and they all laugh at me. I drank a shot again to relieve the painful feeling in my throat.

They all cheered at me drinking the shots without stopping. I went around the mansion, I made sure that I will not miss any group.

Jax kept on telling me to go to my room and rest because I’m too hyped up. I'm getting too loud, clingy and hyper.

Aiden never left me anywhere I went when I could no longer be restrained.

Well, I still know what I'm doing. It's just that I don't know the word 'holding back' anymore.
