Thirteen years later,
husband and wife
wi...
Standing and greeting guest here and there have been exhausting and it just been an hour.
"This sucks" I tell my parents beside me
"Oh, stop it Nikolai, get to know them" my mother says while smiling to the guest
"Why did you two even decided to live here?" I questioned them
Not believing the reason why we suddenly move in another country
"Well, change in atmosphere" my dad said while having a knowing look at my mom
What is that?
"Yeah, right. I don't believe you two. I know your up to something" I said
"I am really proud of you son, you really are something" my dad said while shaking his head
"I know and I'm off" walking to the bar to cool off.
"Hi" said one of the girls I have been introduce to earlier in a high-pitched tone (I gag), what was her name again? Thea? Ella?
I just cast her a glance and nodded in acknowledgement. Not wanting to be plain rude, I just want to be left alone and enjoy my fucking drink. Was that hard to understand?
"In case you forgot, I'm Stella" Right Stella
That made me look at her, she has blonde hair and green eyes. She looks decent but not my type

"Well hi" I say in annoyance
"No need to be rude, I know you want me" she said and i gagged
"What makes you think that?" i said to her
"Oh please, I can be anything you want" she purred to me
"Well, in that case I want you out of my sight" i said
"W-what?" she said dumbfounded
"Didn't you hear me?"
"Urgggh, fine. But let me tell you I always get what i want" she said while narrowing her eyes on me
"Yeah, right" What a brat.
Tonight, I've turn twenty, and two years from now I will soon manage our businesses. And that made me excited.
That was the only thing I care about and of course my family.
Looking at my parents, as usual enjoying each other's company. What a love-struck puppy my dad is. He has been whipped since he saw my mom during their university years. Sighing for the umpteenth time
I divert my eyes to no one in particular, immediately realizing that this party has turn into another business gathering my parents use to have.
Well, I'm used to it by now. Businessmen with their wives parading their wealth among themselves. and of course their children, being spoiled brats.
Well, I don't know anyone here, mentally groaning because my dad suddenly choose to live here in New York. Of all places? New York really?
I've not been social my entire life. Why do i have to? Being friend with someone is just a waste of time. Except my best friend, Chase.
We've known each other since childhood. He has black hair and brown eyes. And a killer personality that makes girls laugh at whatever he is saying. And he is currently busy in the crowd of women.
Seriously? can't he take a break?
What a loser!
"Bro!!" Chase shouted nearing me
"What now?" I snapped at his direction
"Woah! Chill bro, it's your party after all" he said mockingly
"yeah and i can see you are enjoying yourself well" i said annoyingly
"You got me, this party rocks" he said amusingly
"Yeah, why don't you go back to those awestruck girls you are talking to earlier"
"Gezzz, what got your panty in a twist bro?" he chuckled
"Fuck off Chase" I said leaving him
Sensing my mood, he just laughs and goes back to the girls he has been conversing earlier.
Going back to where my parents are, I regretted it right away.
My mom in her usual way of introducing me, it's her way of embarrassing me to people and that gets me every time.
"Oh, I can say whatever I want because I'm your mom" my mom said while ruffling my hair through
Whispering "childish as always" to my mom with scowl on my face.
"Oh, by the way, you remember Leo and Allie. Your father's friend here in New York" I nodded
"And this is their daughter Aliana" my mom introduces the girl beside the couple
As I look at her, I can't believe she's the same five-year-old girl i used to go on vacation with. She is wearing this dark blue dress that compliments her skin. She has brown hair has flows freely behind her. She has always been beautiful. But what gets me the most is her grey eyes, which held happiness. I was still looking at her not caring about the people around us. She has this pull which intrigues me.
"H-hi" was she nervous to me? I didn't know.
Usually girls would flaunt themselves around me in less the second they've known me
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Nikolai" I said in a confident matter and regained my composure. While still looking at a rare beauty in front of me
"It was nice meeting you again Nikolai" Leo said while shaking my dad
"pleasure is mine" I said snapping my eyes to look at him and his wife.
After that our parents are conversing into business and quickly flew away from their talk, because I know a lot about it. I don't need them educating me more.
So, came to search my so-called best friend among the crowd to find him impressing girls lining around him. Rolling my eyes at his action, what an ass
"Chase, having fun, are we?" I stare at the man in front of me getting tipsy due to the alcohol he has been drinking.
"Well bro, New York girls are fun" he said making me rolled my eyes at his antics
"I'm glad you find it that way" I said in a bored tone
"Loosen up a little, will you?" he said displeased at my action
"Well, I will enjoy myself when I'm far from you" I annoyingly said to him
