0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart

14 Feb 2017

......................

Valentine's Day it was today and I must admit it was a roller coaster ride .

People like Andro have many friends..

Be it relatives, associates, childhood friends or even ex girlfriends.

He was invited to a ballroom party tonight

But he was not going alone.

The card demanded a date and he found me to be the best candidate.

First I was anxious of being surrounded by so many rich and powerful people but slowly I started to relax myself.

He couldn't stay by my side all throughout so I forced him to leave and talk to others.

After multiple assurances that I will be fine he finally left.

I sat alone taking in my surroundings.

Everything screamed money

Lots and lots of money.

The diamond sets the divas wore to the expensive bottles that decorated the bar wall.

All were the latest.

I was interrupted when two beautiful ladies decided to sit at my table next to me.

They were engrossed in their gossips ranging from

"Oh you know she wore the same dress last time.....eww her stellitoes are so outdated......that bit** on Mr z's arm looks like a slut...."

I ignored their talks but when I found myself to be their test subject all my gathered confidence shattered into pieces.

Their words were so harsh that my eyes were ready to sting with tears..

'She is the one that came with Alessandro right.....since when did his taste in women came down to this..."

Her glare on my body made me shift uncomfortably

"I agree ...she looks like a roadside sl** that warms beds...I am surprised he brought her to a party like this...."

"That is Alessandro Romano to you....he is a gentleman for sure so he must be doing charity on her I guess..."

They both laughed and I got up from the table not able to listen any longer.

My eyes landed on Andro

He was busy talking to some men

A blonde was standing next to him trying to seduce him but he looked least interested.

While talking his eyes met mine and for a second he stopped speaking.

I was fine and turned around to go
