Chapter 1

"Drizo, you know, you really have some good looks, but your eyebrows always look like angry birds! You look like the male version of Miss Minchin!"

Drizo's fellow rappers looked at each other and I heard them laugh. "Drizo, admit it to me... hmmm.. am I your type? You're obvious, aren't you?" I said and almost fell from leaning on Drizo's shoulder and almost hit my face on the floor but Drizo immediately adjusted his support for me.

He slowly brought his face closer to mine while I just stared at him in wonder, then... suddenly he brought his lips close to my right ear and whispered something.

My god! I'm so idiot I'm going to lose my job! What am i doing?!

I hurriedly grabbed my cellphone and dialed my boss's number. It was a hit!

"Drizo, b-because uhmm.. I really don't remember what happened last night. I'm sorry if I did anything wrong last night, sorry! I really don't remember anything" I said with my eyes closed after he answered the call while biting my bottom lip.

"Why did you call?! Our event is coming up! You know what you're to do"

"Am I fired?" I asked in shock.

"I don't want a fool. What are you?!" he asked and hung up the call.

Damn! Drizo's mouth is so trashy. Who do he think he is! Sigh at least I still have a job, phew!

I wore a croptop dress and after getting ready, I went down to the second floor. Of course, I still had to look fresh haha!

"GO Drizo!!! Whoo!!!" I shouted along with so many people shouting that you would think I was just one of Drizo's fans. I was surprised when he suddenly looked at me and winked. I just laughed.

I looked at Boss's colleagues who are also rappers.

Rey Desear. This guy's body is big. Papi! His eyebrows are thick, his nose is so pointed, and his lips are red like he has American ancestry!

Louise Colil. This one has a sense of humor. He can make almost every woman laugh. Anyone would smile when they saw his smile. He is also friendly. He is brown-skinned, has a medium-sized nose, and has a beautiful face shape!

Cris Montuya. Mestizo and Cris is the most playboy of them all. Half Spanish and this is the one who often fights with Drizo. His eyelashes are so beautiful and long that sometimes you think he's asleep haha! This one's lips are so red too.

Andrilo Bonsato (Drizo). My boss of three, tsk. Very serious and very workaholic but from what I noticed when it comes to his family, especially his parents, he is a sweet person. He is a bit of a slob but he is great when it comes to giving bonuses. He is a bad person to look at. He is the tallest among his colleagues. Mestizo and very rich. Have new haircut and I was the one who insisted that he get a haircut so that his hair would be not as long as before especially since he is a music artist! Just as a friend, just a meddlesome thing haha! His nose is pointed and his lips are heart-shaped. Many girls chase him.

And last is Justine Sayde. The youngest in the group. Her colleagues are almost thirty but sir Justine is the same age as me. This is another one serious one. Moreno and a real idol in rapping! The nose is pointed and he also has a sense of humor but he's a playboy.

Out of the five of them? Rey is the one I like, he knows how to get along with, unlike that one who is so stubborn!

The crowd was going crazy. I saw a woman trying to pull Cris off the stage, hoping to just shake the woman's hand. Cris almost tripped and fell, but a guard immediately pushed the woman away. Cris started rapping again, and after her line, Justine followed.

"WATER!" I heard the boss shout. We were all in the dressing room and Drizo was the only one with me and his fellow rappers.

"Boss, here it is!" I frowned and handed it to him.

"You look wonderful in your dress, Denise" Cris suddenly said with a smile, then it seemed like he was closing his eyes again because of his narrowed eyes.

"Thanks! You guys were so handsome earlier, and then there were so many fans that I almost fell face down on the floor earlier!" I said, making them all laugh except Drizo.

"Uhmm... Louise, can I have an autograph? Someone just asked." I laughed softly and handed her a piece of paper and a pen.

Because May's idol is Louise -the maid I hired.

"Autograph? Hmm? Please tell her, maybe she'd like a free meet," Louise said, his face still serious.

"Okay, just meet? Meet the parents," I said, which made us laugh.

"Your parents, Denise?" Louise asked jokingly, which made me laugh.

He signed the paper and handed it to me while Drizo was quietly in a corner, as if in his own world, focused on his cellphone while his companions were making noise.

"What? Are we going to that place?" Rey suddenly asked, making them look at each other.

"Yes! Are you coming, Denise?" Justine asked, still very fresh.

I shook my head. It was embarrassing. "No way haha!"

THAT'S what I said but later I found myself sitting in front of a table full of delicious and expensive food with the music artists and Drizo.

Rey kept forcing me and of course, would I refuse the delicious and expensive food?

Cris and Justine kept putting food in front of me as if they knew my favorite foods. I've been Drizo's personal assistant for a long time and they're also close to me. Well, Drizo and I have known each other since he was just starting out as a music artist.

"I think I'm really full!" I said, rubbing my stomach as if I had a baby in my womb.

"How many months has it been, Denise?" Cris asked, making me frown.

"It's been 4 months. You're responsible for this, right?" I said, making them laugh.

"THE things, hurry!" I heard Drizo say. We were on our way back to the car and there were body guards with us. He had me carry all the bags.

Louise and Cris simply took the bags from me.

I was surprised when suddenly someone pulled my long, loose hair while getting into the car with the group.

I almost got pulled over earlier, gosh! I didn't perform at their event earlier! I gasped.

I looked at the palm that appeared in front of me. Drizo handed me some water then he started driving.

We immediately went home because it was already dark and it was almost just us. "Did you see the issue with Cris? He got someone pregnant and then abandoned that woman?" Rey laughed, making the others laugh too because we knew that was just one of the fake news being spread about them.

Knowing Cris...

I was surprised when the car suddenly stopped and we almost fell off the cliff because we were on a very dangerous part of the road and it was very dark

the car's headlights were the only light. I was closing my eyes and Louise suddenly hugged me to protect me.

I thought that was my end but luckily Drizo immediately braked the car and we all breathed a sigh of relief. Louise and I stared at each other but we both immediately looked away.

"If you're going to drink! Don't involved anyone else! My girlfriend will get hurt!" Jay shouted at the bus driver. He was drunk and we almost hit someone. He hugged me tightly and protected my head while holding the handle so that we wouldn't both be out of balance. He almost broke the bus window earlier.

"Why do you care?" I was surprised when the driver suddenly approached us and even pushed the conductor hard, hoping he would pull away.

He came closer and looked at us both evilly as if possessed and slowly walked towards me.

Everyone was surprised when he suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small knife.

The drunk driver was about to stab me when I saw my boyfriend's vision go dark and he immediately grabbed the knife from the driver and immediately punched him in the throat, which immediately knocked him down. He was about to stab him and approach the driver but I immediately stopped him and pulled him away. I saw that he had stab wounds on his neck and arms. "Love, you've been stabbed—" I couldn't finish what I was saying when he looked at me to see if I was okay.

He hugged me and held my hand and we got off that bus together. It was also our anniversary.

"Are you okay, Denise?"

"I-I'm okay..." I told Louise who looked worried now and I looked away.

"Dude, are you crazy? I'll drive!" Cris shouted and was about to go to the driver's seat from the back seat but Rey who was in the passenger seat immediately stopped him.

"Bro, shut up! We almost got caught because because you were speeding!" Drizo shouted back while the car we were riding in was still stopped and he hadn't started it yet and we were still here in the middle of a dark and no houses road where many accidents have happened.

"Guys, calm down! I'll just drive to finish!" I said, standing up, surprising them.

"Maybe it'll happen— uhm, didn't Louise and Cris almost throw up when we had Denise drive us? Just fix your driving, besides, it's already dark on the road, so let's go as fast as we can," Rey said, adjusting his seat.

"No way! They didn't eat anything back then, but they immediately drank beer!" I replied, looking straight at the road and seeing Cris looking at the boss with a wicked look.

Boss started the car while we were already breathing a sigh of relief after what happened earlier.

I'm so sleepy! I have a lot to take care of later and will read and then go on a f-food trip! My food orders just arrived, which were all spicy. I'm also craving those graham balls, so I'll have some too.

Later on, I saw Justine with his eyes closed and looking like he was fast asleep with his head leaning against the window and Cris was the same, still snoring loudly. I was shocked when Louise suddenly leaned his head against my shoulder and I saw him with his eyes closed and looking like he was asleep too.

I slowly closed my eyes and was about to fall off my seat because of sleepiness when Rey suddenly screamed. "Ahhhh! W-What was that?!" he said in fear.

"We must have crashed into something" I just shook my head at him. Gosh, whatever!

"It's just a hump. Calm down!"

Boss kicked his leg that was close to the steering wheel.

"More Coffee!" I said laughing and my sleepiness disappeared because of Rey. He started to calmly lean back in his seat again.

"Dude, do you remember the girl I was telling you about before? She's a huge model now and has been in almost every magazine!" Rey's smile was genuine as he said those words while his gaze was fixed on the middle of the road.

"The one you're teasing and snubbing you about?" the boss asked, which only made Rey laugh.

"She became my girlfriend! We're not together anymore. She took us together with one of my male fans." Rey looked sad while saying those words because it was obvious on his face. I didn't know that a Rey Desear was also unlucky. I looked out the window even though all I could see were big trees and a river so they wouldn't notice me gossiping haha!

"That girl is a 2-timer? She's like a woman there too." he said and after looking in the rearview mirror, the boss looked at me and looked back at the road.

I'm the only girl here?! Did he say that so I could hear? Those two flirted with me who were both not my type, how could i be 2-timers??

Well...

Suitor no. (1):

Kevin. 27 years old, dark-skinned, 5'8 tall and has good looks but is very arrogant! He's vicious and always hangs out on the corner with his friends. This one is also very immature!

Suitor no. (2)!

Kai, 23, this one is skinny and mixed race and not very handsome but he really likes me! He buys me all kinds of food and things that I like and things that if he wants that thing he will buy it right away and give it to me! His friend took pity on me and showed me a video of Kai drunk and drinking with his friends while he didn't notice that his friend were videotaping him. "You know, I would just leave Denise alone if she was in bed with me. It's annoying, even if she's a little bit shy, she still doesn't want to agree." he said in the video then laughed while looking sleepy. He even embarrassed me in front of a lot of people after I found out about all that and said I was flirting and that I was the one who really wanted it. I spread the video and threw water on him then left him looking like he was soaked on the road and walked away from there.
