The Runaway Lover by Kyzyl Mhy (rocket ebook reader TXT) 📖

“Again, he isn’t perfect, but he is the best brother to me.” I let out a small chuckle when I saw how Jasper looked away to stop his tears from falling. “I love you brother. Always remember that I’ll always be here for you.” I said before shifting my attention to Heart who was also getting a little teary eyed. 

“... and for you heart, I hope you love him with all your heart and have the patience to understand him.” I smiled at her then she smiled back.  “Welcome to the family! I wish the both of you a happy marriage.” 

I ended the speech by raising my glass to initiate a toast for the newlywed before I returned to my seat.  

“Your speech almost brought me to tears!” said Kassie. 

“After being a bridesmaid to a dozen of weddings, I just got used to it.” I replied then both of us chuckled. 

The whole celebration finished at around 10 PM. After saying my goodbyes to my friends and the newlywed I went ahead. I still was not in the mood to go home, and I did not have to go to work since I filed a three-day leave so I decided to go to some place where I can grab something to drink. 

- 

Tina parked her sedan on an empty parking space beside a black ranger raptor, then she turned the engine off and got out of her car and walked her way inside the bar while wearing the same dress that she wore at the ceremony a while ago – a beige-colored backless halter dress. It wasn’t too flashy so she pretty much blended in with the crowd. 

“What can I offer to a lovely lady like you?” the bartender swiftly greeted with a wink the moment she sat on the stool. 

“I’ll have gin and tonic, please,” Tina smiled. 

“One gin and tonic for the lovely lady it is!” The bartender replied before he started preparing her drink. 

There were a lot of people – most were men, in the bar. Tina sighed and smiled. 

There are many men, but why does it seem like there is none meant for me? 

A few moments later, the bartender came back with her drink. Tina thanked him before she started drinking from her glass. She is not really used to alcohol – she has low alcohol tolerance, but she would drink occasionally to relieve her stress from work. 

Then a handsome man approached the bar and then sat on the last remaining vacant stool which was beside Tina. This man’s presence somehow changed the whole mood of the place. There was something intriguing about him so Tina could not stop herself from glancing at him. 

The luxurious scent of his manly perfume diffused in the air. 

Hmm... he sure smells great. 

Tina’s eyes shifted to the man’s side profile and she was instantly amazed by how good-looking he was. He had a perfectly defined and chiseled jawline, an aristocratic nose, thin reddish lips, and thick brows. His light brown hair was a little messy but it fit him perfectly and help him achieve the whole vibe of a cold-hearted heartbreaker. 

Tina could not help but bite her lower lip as she watched how his Adam's apple moved each time he spoke or drank from his glass. 

This man would pass as the epitome of a gorgeous man. 

“Staring is rude.” The man spoke with his baritone voice as he turned to face her. 

Tina’s cheeks blush and she immediately looked away. 

Gosh Tina! How could you stare at him like that?! He probably won’t believe if you tell him that he has some kind of dirt in his face! She scolded herself. 

“Sorry...” She apologized. “I just could not resist... it’s my first time seeing such a gorgeous man.” She admitted. 

Her eyes widened in shock when she realized what she blurted out. She then immediately covered her mouth and the man let out a chuckle. 

Gosh! Even his chuckles sound so perfect! 

Tina wanted to slap herself and runaway to save herself from humiliation, but she could not because she was already feeling tipsy after having drinking three glasses of hard liquor. 

“Gosh sorry... it must be the alcohol.” she said and looked away.  

“You’re a first...” the man replied with a smile on his face.  

“I have never met a woman like you yet,” he chuckled. 

He must probably be thinking that I’m some crazy admirer. 

To be Continued...

Hi everyone!

Here's an update for you!
I hope you like it!

Tina's story takes place in the same time frame as when Kassie was pregnant with her second child, so that means Kassie's second child is a few months older than Tina's son.

See you on the next chapter!
Oh! By the way, there will be no updates on Sunday. So the next update would be on Monday. See you!
Lavlots!
