38. Mistaking his goddess
Lucas knew Marina to be a wild girl, do seeing her in a KTV singing wasn’t close to his explanation..
Although he wanted to go to her, he controlled himself. She was having fun with her friends and he wasn’t going to distract that.
The girls sung to their satsifaction.
” The night has been interesting. Now Marina, you can’t claim you are the best in vocals. You are Louisa’s score was the same.” Terry said grinning. The two girls were strangely being identical. From their manners, their dressing code. Now, even their singing capabilities matched.
” Yes, I have to give it to her. She’s excellent.” Marina praised. Her vocals was something she prided herself with since nobody ever beat to it but today, someone had the perfect score like her. That was amazingly commendable.
” I think we should get going now, it’s pretty late.” Terry said and she picked her purse preparing to leave. The other two girls agreed and they proceeded to leave the private room chatting.
The guys in the next room were also preparing to leave since it was pretty late. As obvious, Ronald was trying to get them to stay alittle More but Lucas objected to the Idea. They were walking to the door when three beautiful ladies walked over from the other room.
Lucas had His poker face when his eyes connected with Marina’s making her roll her eyes at him before looking away. She couldn’t be bothered by his ever expressionless face. She had finally concluded that he was suffering from facial paralysis.
Dimitri on the other hand felt his heart race after seeing the woman he had been looking for and yearning to see for days. When he least expected it, she stood in front of him. She was dazzling as he remembered but still something felt different. The Aura sorrounding her was not mysterious, rather it was playful.
Despite that, he couldn’t control his legs as they marched to her side. He was about to touch her when out of nowhere his extended arm was tightly clutched and before he knew it, he was flipped to the ground. His back hurt from the impact making him to let out a groan of pain.
The girls giggled making him embarrassed while his friends stifled a laughter. Even the ever expressionless Lucas had a smirk on his lips.
Helping himself up while dusting his suit, he shot a glare at Martina.
” What the hell is your problem?” He roared but the woman before him remained unfazed. His growl didn’t seem to scare her, surprising him.
His friends watched him in amusement.
” Goddess.” He ignored that hateful woman and looked at Marina affectionately making Marina cringe and a subtle change of expression to appear in Lucas face.
” I have been looking for you all over.” He said as he grinned at Marina.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
” Excuse me, do I know you?” Marina thought that the guy was trying to approach her. But if he was, he should atleast tried using a different pick up line. That one was outdated.
Martina on the other hand understood well what the guy was talking about and she decided to watch alittle show. He was definitely mistaking Marina for her. Thinking about how he ruthless manhandled her at the Mall, she rejoiced inwardly thanking karma for knocking on his doors too soon.
” You forgot about me already?” Dimitri was obviously saddened hearing that she didn’t have a recollection about their meeting while he had stayed awake at night for days thinking about her.
” Am sorry I didn’t introduce myself the last time, I am Dimitri.” He said extending his arm which Marina ofcourse didn’t intend to take. She thought the guy was creepy. Seeing that his goddess had no intention of taking his hand, he retracted it, awkwardly.
He wondered why she was treating him like he was a piece of trash. Sure, he could tell that she had a Cold personality after that encounter but atleast at that time, she was cordial with him.
” Can we exchange numbers, I would like us to know each other more.” Dimitri offered. He was a prideful Man but was willing to lower himself and ask for her number despite the cold treatment she gave him.
” Am sorry I don’t know you and definitely won’t be sharing my number with a stranger.” Marina replied and walked past the trio with Terry following behind her.
Martina was the last to walk away but not before looking at him mockingly. She knew that it was her he was looking for, too bad he Crossed paths with her twin sister Who was Savage.
Seeing the woman mocking him, Dimitri felt the urge to straggle her, there and then but stopped himself.
She was his goddess’s friend and he didn’t want to appear as a violent Man infront of her. He might have tried and failed today but he wouldn’t give up. Since he finally saw her again, he would actively pursue her in hopes that someday she’ll see his sincerity.
He watched as the three women dissapeared Ina daze, still thinking about the familiar yet not familiar face of his goddess.
” What was that Man?” Ronald asked although already having an idea of what was going on.
” My goddess. That’s her. I wonder why she pretended not to know me though.” He couldn’t come up with the answer to that question no matter how long he pondered over it.
” She’s one feisty woman.” Ronald commented, “but the other girl is more intriguing.” He added.
Out of the three Ladies, one had caught his attention. Her eyes were filled with mischief, just like a little fox.
” You are not helping here!” Dimitri grumbled. He was frustrated with the cold treatment he got from his goddess.
” Are you Sure that’s the woman you met at the airport?” Lucas confirmed. An uncomfortable feeling started to grow in his heart and spread to his whole body when he heard his best friend call Marina, goddess.
She was the woman he had undoubtfully started falling in love with though in denial. He didn’t Know how to break the news to his friend that she was the woman he intended to Marry and that their engagement had been determined by both families.
” I am Sure that she’s the one. She might have felt a little different but those facial features, she’s my goddess.” Dimitri answered, unaware of the turmoil in his friend’s heart
