***Shawn's POV***

"Hey, guys long time no see," I said giving Malcin a Bro hug.

"Shawn, what a surprise. Since you became the so-called priest we no longer hear from you." Avi who was obviously wasted shouted over the noise of the renowned nightclub.

"Yeah been kind of busy, sorry guys."

"Hey handsome, it's been how many months? Like six months without you in me. Care to satisfy me now?" Cynthia who was my friend with benefits for two years whispered into my ears. For some strange reasons, an offer that always sounded amusing and alluring to me now sounds weird to me. What is wrong with me?

"I'm sorry Citty, I can't now. My life is now devoted to God."

"Fuck, who are you trying to fool? Me?" She asked, her horny self irritated with me.

"You know you can't resist me. Your body responds to me. It's very sensitive to my touch."

She said pushing herself into me.

"Enough! Cynthia what part of I don't want to fuck you don't you understand!" I whisper yelled, careful not to disgrace her in front of our friends.

"Citty it's okay, let's go of him." Julie, her best friend, helped out pulling her from me.

"No I want you Shawn and I will have you!" She shouted as she was being pulled away

What is it with this girl? What has happened to her? Is she on Tramadol? I looked forward to seeing her every night in the past but after this moment her very presence seems disgusting to me.

"Come here bro, don't mind that crazy girl. She has had too much to drink."

I shook off the thought of her, ready to enjoy this night and I intend to get drunk to get the image of my little temptress out of my mind. I have been unable to get rid of her image ever since I met her yesterday. That was one reason why I accepted Malcin's offer to drink away my night in the club. I made my way to where the others were.

I felt a lot of horny eyes on me but I cared less. They can watch but can't have me. The only one that can have me is my red-haired temptress.

"So how has life been man?" James, my long time American-Korean friend questioned.

"Well you know, the normal 'pray for us' prayers and listening to horrible and boring confessions all day. Gosh, the work sucks."

"I can understand you bro. At least it's not as horrible as me firing any PA I hire because they do nothing but to flirt with me. Charles here is facing pressure from his Stepmother to fuck her."

Malcin chipped in handing me two shots of Smirnoff vodka.

"Really Charles? Since when?"

"I'm tired of that old witch. She never ceases to harass me. She came to me confiding in me about how dad treats her like shit. She told me dad has been cheating on her and doesn't satisfy her in bed. I thought she knew what she was getting herself into before marrying that old rag."

"If she wants the thing, why don't you give it to her hard to end this once and for all. After all you are a manwhore." James mocked

"That will be over my dead body. No matter how much I love creatures with skirts I will never pound her. Never! That woman is a witch. She destroyed my family by snatching dad from my mum."

"It's okay friend. Let's drink, to us. Forgetting all our life calamities." I said raising my second vodka shot for a toast.

"To us"

"To us".

All four guys repeated, throwing the powerful drink into our mouth. Burning our throats on it's way to our esophagus.

"Who is driving us tonight?" I asked remembering our old-time custom. Whenever we visit the club, we appoint one person to drive us all home. That person never gets wasted.

"Don't worry guys, I will drive today."

Julie, Cynthia's best friend who doubles as Malcin's girlfriend volunteered. Well, there seems to be something wrong. Julie never refuses to drink. If anything she is the alcoholic among us. All gazes went to Malcin with the same question.

"What the hell?" Charles broke the silence

"Mal out with it. Why is she behaving weirdly?"

"Mmm well, Julie is, Julie is a baby."

"What do you mean?" James asked

"So-rry w-wh-at I mean is that Julie is, is pregnant."

"What!"

We all yelled shocked to the bone. Julie was well known for her dislike for kids.

"She is pregnant, with a child, expecting, bun in the oven, carrying a baby, will soon be breastfeeding, knocked up."

He clarified looking at our shocked state.

"Congrats to you guys but please excuse me, will be right back."

I said, confused than ever. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it myself. Who would have thought that Jules will be carrying a child? Once she had wanted to take out her womb so what changed now? Well, wonders will never end. I took a quick trip to the washroom on my way to the bar. After easing myself I made my way to the bar. A beep of my phone caught my attention. I removed my phone checking the message bearing my sister's name.

Marina: where are you, silly boy?

Me: first of all I'm not a boy, come on I'm thirty a few years younger than you. Secondly, I don't have to te...

I was seriously engulfed in the message that I mistakenly bump into a body. The softest I have ever felt. The impact of the collision caused my phone to hit the hard tiled floor. I picked it up hurriedly not bothering to adhere to the apologies of the person I bumped into.

There was a huge crack on my phone's screen which didn't bother me one bit.

"I'm so sorry Sir, didn't watch where I was going."

"It's ok..."

Shit! I came face to face with the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. I knew I was caught checking her out so I tried to cover it.

"No, it's not okay. You should have watched where you were going to bitch. Look, I got this phone on Monday now it's broken because of your stupid carelessness."

"I said I'm sorry mister."

"Sorry? Can sorry repair my phone?"

"Like seriously it's no big deal. Kindly let me replace it for you."

"Replace what? Can your midget salary purchase a customized iPhone? Can it?"

I walked past her, pushing her out of my way.  I was mastering all my strength not to bend her on one of these tables and bang her. I have to think straight. What is it with me and red-haired women? First I couldn't stop thinking about my temptress and now this one?

"Give me three shots of tequila. And two of the vodka. Can I also have your sex in beach?"

My drinks were served and I took them one after the other, the liquid burning my throat intensely.

I ordered another set of the same drinks and as the first set went so did the second set. After all these shots, I still couldn't forget the girl. She was clearly in my mind. I ordered a third set throwing them straight into my mouth within seconds.

"Let go off me, you bastard."

"Shut up slut. Why are you lying to yourself? you want me and I know that or maybe because we were at work you were denying me. Listen baby I want you and that too now. Let's go."

I watched as a familiar guy was dragging a lady forcibly. I don't care about women but I hate it when they are maltreated so I stood up striding to them.

"Leave me alone, devil. Let me go. Please don't do this to me."

"You got the wrong guy Emily and you gonna pay now."

"If she got the wrong guy, then the right guy is here, jerk."

I said pulling him away from her.

"Shawn?"

"Don't Shawn me. You are not worthy of mentioning my name fool."

"Stay out of this Cousin. This is between me and this bitch."

"Really?, I quite heard her say you should leave her alone. Aunt didn't teach you to be a bully, did she? She will be crying in her grave by now."

"Don't you ever bring my mum into this."

"Oh, so you cared about your mum? I didn't know that, since you killed her with your evil deeds. You sent her straight into her grave."

"I hate you, Shawn. He said matching towards me. I missed his first blow but returned one, punching him in the cheeks."

"Stop you guys please stop."

I was by now on top of him on the floor punching him mercilessly.

"Please stop, you are going to kill him."

She pleaded amidst tears. Seeing her tears made me forget my rage. I left the bloody fool, walking towards her. I took her hands in mine taking her out of this sexually suffocated place.

"Let go of me." She pulled her hand from my grip, her teeth clenched and face red with anger.

"You are no different from him. You are a monster."

"Listen here woman I just saved your ass from him, so I will appreciate it if you thank me."

"You don't deserve my thanks and besides I didn't ask you to bring your huge nose into my business."

What is it with this woman?

She took a handkerchief from her purse and got closer to me.

"Get away from me you ungrateful bitch!"

"Will you just shut up, fool." She said cleaning the red liquid I didn't even know was on my face. I flinched, the pain getting to me.

"That's a huge cut, let's go, it needs to be treated."

"No! Never mind I have someone who will do it for me," I said slightly true.

"OK, as you wish." She said walking away from me towards the car park.

I checked the time. It read 3:00 am.

"Wait! I think I will take your offer. My sister will murder me if she sees me like this."

She chuckled at me and believe me, it was the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

She led me to her car and opened the passenger's door allowing me to settle in the seat. She then took the seat by me which was the driver's seat and navigated the car towards her home.
