CARINA'S P.O.V.

"Tin, are you sure about this? I feel like I am wearing nothing. It's too short" I complained as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.

"What? You're exaggerating. Look at you, you're so pretty and sexy".

I looked at the mirror again.

I am wearing a fuchsia crop top which barely covered my navel, a pants which was tattered on the knee area and stilettos. I just let my curly hair down. My dangling earrings were sparkling. Christine just lent me all these since I didn't have clothes for these kinds of thing.

"Let's go" she said excitedly. I grabbed the cardigan and put it on then we went out.

As we entered the club, I felt like my ears were going to explode because of the loud music.

"Hey Tin, why are we here?" I asked her, almost shouting so that she could hear me.

"To have fun of course" we went to a vacant table then Christine went to the bar and order. After a while she came back with our drinks.

"What's this?" I asked her. I know it's an alcoholic drink but I just want to know its name.

"It's what you call a godfather. Its part scotch and amaretto. "She explained to me and took a sip while watching the people dancing on the dance floor. Then I saw her scrunched her eye brows.

"Hey, what's that guy doing here?" she said, talking to herself. I followed her gaze and there I saw the handsomest man I have ever laid my eyes on. I touched her arm and asked

"Who is he?"

"Wait, I am going there. Just stay here." then she got up and went to the guy who was sitting at the table near the emergency exit. He was talking to a guy. I studied his looks. He really was handsome. He was sitting there but I could tell he was tall and has a muscular body. I saw Christine hugged the stranger and he hugged her back. He just smiled at her. They talked for a bit then I saw them approaching out table. Suddenly I felt uncomfortable. I was never been good talking to strangers. Don't tell me, he was her new boyfriend?

"hey Cari, this is my cousin Regan Novell. Reg, this is my bestfriend, Carina Westbay, Cari for short." She said introducing us to one another. He was more handsome up close. His blue eyes were so intimidating. He was staring at me without emotion in his eyes. Then I heard his voice.

"Nice to meet you Miss Westbay." As he extended his hand for a handshake. He didn't even smile.

As our hands clasped for a handshake, I felt a sudden tingle ran from my spine to the back of my neck. I suddenly felt uncomfortable around him. It's not like I was scared of him. It's just his aura. The way he stared intently into my eyes, like reading my soul. He was oozing of sex appeal even if he never smiled at me. He's so tall, maybe he stood at least 6 ft plus compared to my height of 5 ft 5 inches.

I've always been uncomfortable and awkward around guys. Maybe because of what happened to me.

"Cari! Are you with us?" Christine asked me. Her eyes were teasing me.

"S-sorry...hrmm.. Nice to meet you too Mr. Novell". Then I let go of his hand.

He just nodded formally and turned to Christine.

"Chris, just go home. This place is not good for ladies like you. Especially that you don't have any guy with you." he said with an authority in his voice.

"Come on Reg! We're just here to have fun. If you want you can join us" she offered with a sweet voice and hugged her cousin.

"Sorry but I can't. I am with Bryan and we're waiting for our dates"
