I could hear it through the way she talked and the way she smelled. It was a mixture of strawberry and whiskey. For some reasons it was a major turn on.
"What is a pretty girl like you doing here outside, alone and drunk?" I retorted.
She threw her head back and laughed. "I'm here to forget everything for a while." she mumbled after she was done laughing.
"And what do you want to forget?" I asked her in a whisper.
"Everything." She looked at me with her big mischievous blue-green eyes. Her eyes screamed trouble, but I know that she was a good girl. "And you can help me with that."
Before I could ask her how, she grabbed me by my tie and kissed me fully on my lips. Her lips tasted like strawberries and whiskey.
Delicious.

"What are you thinking about?!" A voice woke me up from my thoughts. I looked around and saw Rodrigo leaning on the doorframe, smirking at me. "Is it her?"
"Oh shut up, what are you doing here?"
Rodrigo looked confused at me. "Weren't you the one that called me and asked if we could go clubbing tonight?"
"Isn't it too--" I looked at my watch and my eyes widened. "Never mind, let's go."
It was already nine at night. I didn't know it was this late. I looked at the work I had finished and it wasn't a lot. I grabbed my car keys and walked towards Rodrigo.
"Let's go." I huffed. "And stop smirking, I know you caught me thinking--"
"Drooling." he corrected. "Drooling at the thought of her."
I glared at him. "I wasn't drooling."
He laughed loudly. "Of course you will deny that...I know you better than today Marcoie boy, it's time you tell her."
..........
"What!" Rodrigo screamed making everyone in the vip section stare at us.
"Shut the hell up!" I hissed glancing around the room. "I mean don't shut up, but don't be so fucking loud."
"I can't help and bytheway, redhead's name is not Pamela, It's Poppy."
"Poppy?" I asked dumbfounded.
Rodrigo nodded. "Yes it's Poppy; you're talking about the girlfriend of Jay Williams’s right?"
"Yes, but. But...I'm pretty sure she told me her name was Pamela."
"Oh, then I guess you had sex with her aunt. Her aunt's name is Pamela and they look awfully alike."
"What?!" This time I was the one that screamed. I told Rodrigo about everything that happened at Victoria's Secret. And now he's telling me that the redhead I had a one night stand with was not Poppy who I actually thought it was, but it was Pamela her aunt? I need to stop calling girls sweetheart to avoid these types of situations, dammit!
"Man you're screwed...I mean Poppy and Pamela look alike, because Pamela is nothing but a plastic. She wants to look like her niece so bad"
Fuck.Fuck.Fuck.
I took the whole Martini bottle and gulp it down my throat.
"Hey!" Rodrigo yelled trying to take the Martini bottle out of my hand. "Are you out of your mind? Tomorrow you need to go to office."
"Fuck that!" I growled. "I had a fucking one night stand with Poppy's aunt!"
"It's not the end of the world." Rodrigo snatched the martini bottle out of my hand and hid it under the table. "Your mind is messing with you since you saw her."
"Can I help it?" I groaned. I'm so screwed. How could I not see the difference between Poppy and Pamela. That's right there's no difference, except for the fact that Pamela is horrible in bed.
"I said it so many times and I will say it again...Tell her."
I stared at Rodrigo. "Do you think she will believe me?" I said. "Just like, oh hey I was the guy you had a one night stand with six years ago and I can't get you out of my mind. Do you know how weird that sound?"
"Not if you take her to dinner?"
"Dinner?" I simpered. "Do you know how hard it was to get her in that coffee shop to talk? She despises me."
Rodrigo shook his head as he laughed quietly. "That's why you should stop being a womanizer. Have you ever thought about why she despises you? Yes, because you're a fucking manwhore."
"I really need to clear up my mind." I took out my phone and Rodrigo looked at me wide eyed. "You're not doing what I think you're going to do."
"It's her last day here in New York before she will go back to her new lover in Russia. I might as well enjoy while she's still here."

I did the final touches on my makeup before I walked out of my room to have breakfast. I smelled the pancakes before my other senses registered their presence. I walked into the kitchen to see Reina frying pancakes in her underwear as she was humming an unfamiliar tune.
I snuck up behind her and snagged a piece of Pancake out of the huge stack. I grabbed a plate and retreated with my golden brown pancake towards the syrup. I always wondered how she could make pancakes so perfectly.
After slathering the still steaming pancake with liquid sugar, I gingerly cut off a bite and lifted it towards my mouth.
Pure bliss.
"You look cute today." Reina said as she glanced over at me.
"Thanks, I'm going to a meeting today with Ximena and Claire." I scooped up another bite to replace the one which was quickly dissolving in my mouth.
"Delicious pancakes."
"Thanks." She replied smiling.
After I finished eating my pancakes I grabbed my bag from the counter and walked towards the main door.
"I will see you tonight." I yelled out at Reina who was still in the kitchen.
"Uhm actually I will have dinner with Luca tonight." she said biting her lower lip.
"Well have fun." I said wiggling my eyebrows and giving her a wink.
"Oh, it's not like that!" she yelled before I closed the door behind me.
