At eight o'clock in the evening, Club Miracle was alive with the sound of music and colorful lights. Cheyenne and Kate made quite an entrance, stunning everyone in the room. Especially Cheyenne, with her fair skin, alluring eyes, and curvaceous figure accentuated by a black backless dress that made her look like a seductive fox spirit.
The dance floor was packed with leggy beauties dressed for summer while groups of men and women chatted over drinks. As they made their way through the crowd to their private room where Kate's friends were waiting for them, Cheyenne spotted Kate's target for the night - Graeme Mathews.
He was a young man in his early twenties wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt paired with a matching jacket and black sweatpants. He had delicate features framed by black-rimmed glasses that gave him an intellectual air.
Cheyenne knew that approaching someone like him would not be easy since he seemed more interested in studying than partying. But as soon as she walked into the room, all eyes were on her as people clamored to drink and play games with her.
Kate had designed this game of Truth or Dare specifically to win over Graeme's heart. As a good wingwoman should do, Cheyenne drank several beers until she became slightly tipsy before passing an empty bottle to Kate.
"Okay then," said Kate shyly while looking at Graeme before choosing Dare instead of Truth.
"I dare you to kiss the first guy on your left," Cheyenne said resolutely.
The group cheered loudly after hearing this challenge but Graeme looked embarrassed as he tightly clenched his hands hidden inside his sleeves without saying anything yet.
However, one girl sitting next to him refused outrightly, "No way! Graeme doesn't even like you."
Cheyenne raised an eyebrow curiously at this unknown girl and asked, "Who are you?"
"That's Peyton Stout," whispered Kate sadly into Cheyenne's ear. "Graeme's childhood friend whom he grew up together."
Cheyenne hated those words - childhood friend - because it reminded her of Abbie who wormed her way into the life between herself and Kevlin...
"Childhood friends don't necessarily mean lovers," retorted Cheyenne fiercely while staring directly at Graeme who still remained silent...
Graeme may have felt embarrassed, as he clenched his fists and stood up, his sharp gaze fixed on Kate. "Don't bully Peyton, she's my friend."
Bully?
Kate felt wronged. She liked him so much, but he scolded her because of Peyton. The lively atmosphere in the private room began to turn cold when suddenly the door was twisted open from outside.
A clear and pleasant voice sounded in everyone's ears as a person wearing a white suit walked in with a toy teddy bear in hand, looking elegant like an aristocrat. Upon closer inspection of his handsome features and slender figure, one could tell it was none other than the famous star - Reece.
"Sorry I'm late." Reece finished taking the last photo shoot and drove through three red lights before finally arriving.
Who knew that upon entering the room he would see Cheyenne pouting like a little frog while the birthday girl herself was crying?
Without thinking twice about it, he sat down at the first seat on the left side near to door where there happened to be an empty seat next to Graeme which Kate had previously occupied.
Reece seemed out of place as he touched his head,"What's going on? Why are you crying? Stop crying now! Look what I brought for you?" That blue teddy bear smiled innocently; it was Disney's limited edition Winnie-the-Pooh that Reece had spent one month searching for.
It was Kate's first time seeing such a gentle-hearted side of Reece; they always clashed whenever they met each other before this moment.
He actually put so much thought into preparing her favorite gift!
