He closed his eyes, leaning in to kiss her.

She placed a finger on his lips and chuckled, " Well, aren't we naughty?" she cocked her head to the side, chuckling softly.

Which he found too cute. He looked away, embarrassed. He just attempted to kiss a stranger. What on earth was wrong with him this evening? 

She wanted him to live. His heart fluttered at the thought that there was someone out there who wanted him to live.

What should he say? He tried to think? After his mother died, he entered a stage of depression in which he lost all his confidence.

The lady seemed to notice a change in his demeanor. "I'll take my leave now, have a goodnight," she greeted politely, walking towards the doors.

He sat in silence, thinking of how to speak. He had an internal battle with himself.

Taking a deep breath, he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Excuse me, what is your name?" his heart raced in his chest, slamming against his rib cage as he ran after her.

She waved him goodbye, a wide grin on her face as he got into the cab. She didn't hear him. He sulked. 

He was too scared to walk home, so he stopped by a taxi.

The night sky was so dark and lovely, the New York city lights never failed to amaze anyone.

Who was she?, was she married?, did he even have a chance with someone so gorgeous? 

The cab stopped at the penthouse, his family lived at top floor.

Sports cars filled the parking lot. He walked into the building self conscious as always.

Getting into the elevator, a very drunk girl stumbled into the elevator too. 

Her was wearing a little black dress. She had on Versace heels with a channel purse in her hand.

Her perfume filled the elevator as the guy Aries assumed was her boyfriend joined them in them.

She lit a cigar with an expensive gold lighter.

That would probably cost as much as Aries's monthly salary. She puffed smoke in the air.

Leaning into her boyfriend; she looked at Aries with very dark eyes.

Was she stoned, Aries wondered, minding his business?

She held eye contact with Aries, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Reaching for the neck of her boyfriend, she rocked him slowly back and forth, her eyes seduced him.

Aries swallowed, trying to avoid eye contact. She kissed her boyfriend, still holding eye contact with him.

Aries felt hot in the elevator as her eyes raked all over him.

He subconsciously felt naked and harassed. He looked at the elevator buttons they were still on the fifteenth floor.

Her boyfriend picked her up in his arms, his hands on her tight. She was panting.

Dear lord he had to get out of here. He begged the elevator to move faster in his head.

 Her boyfriend stopped suddenly. His eyes hid a storm as he asked," you wanna watch?" and Aries shook his head vigorously. "What huh, you think she's hot?" he asked again, cupping her boobs in his hand.

Aries instinctively looked away gratefully as the elevator door opened. He ran out gasping for air, sweating profusely. He felt suffocated.

Viana's voice echoed as he walked into the house, tiptoeing so she wouldn't notice.

He fetched himself a glass of water, watching her with the boyfriend.

They sat in the dining room, a cute candle light dinner in between them.

Viana was streaming live on her YouTube channel as her boyfriend brought out a box. She squealed, taking the box with excitement.

She opened it, picking a pink Birkin bag out of the big box. She hugged and kissed her boyfriend. "OMG baby, it's so pretty, thank you."

Her eyes gleamed " Isn't he the sweetest boyfriend ever?" she squealed, waving her fans good bye.

Aries watched with extreme caution, waiting for an opportunity to escape. Viana picks up a glass of wine.

Taking a sip, she threw the glass to the ground, watching it break to piece with a loud crash.

She screamed with frustration, "Hey, do you want me to break up with your stupid ass? Huh, I said I wanted the latest Birkin bag, not this trash."

"Are you trying to make me lose fans?" she growled through clenched teeth.

Her boyfriend shrugged on, bothered by her screaming. He stood up from his sit grabbing her by the hair. "Just who the fuck do you think you are to yell at me?" he asked her, cold as ice.

Aries took the opportunity sneaking away up the stairs, he got to his room peeping through the door. He watched the guy gently slap her face.

"You can do that with your little servant boy, not with me. When you speak to me, never yell okay?" he demanded in a deadly calm voice, twisting her hair.

She nodded, wincing in pain. He threw her off and left the house.

Aries quickly closed his room door when she yelled his name. "Aries, get down here this instant!". Aries sat down putting on his headphones.

He opened a book, pretending to read. His room door flung open. Her eyes were a dark storm as she violently took his headphones off his ears and threw them at the wall.

It crashed with a loud thud. She grabbed his ear, twisting it. "when I'm talking to you, open your ears you freaking bastard. Do you hear me?" she twisted his ear so painfully he yelped.

She pulled him by the ear. Aries was very close to beating the shit out of this bitch. He couldn't help but imagine it.

As he pulled her by the hair, slapping her until he threw her to the ground then he kicked her, the thoughts pleased him as she threw him on the kitchen floor.

She walked to the wine cellar collection, picking out one of her father's expensive wines.

She poured herself some sitting on the stool; she stared at Aries who was on all fours. She arched a brow. "Clean that shit up. " 

Aries turned to look at the mess she made, his mother's fine china on the floor in pieces.

He stood to get a broom, but she clicked her tongue. "Do it with your hands" she uttered relishing her anger on him, "use your shirt" Aries took deep breaths.

If he actually hit Viana this Evening not only will his dad disown him, but he could use it as a reason to kick him out or worse get him arrested. He took off his shirt, cleaning up the wine on the floor.

She walked up to him as a glass cut his hand, his blood dripped down his finger.

Viana stooped beside him, taking his injured hand. She held eye contact, a wicked smile on her face as she poured the glass of wine on his bleeding hand.

Aries screamed in pain and she laughed.

"Awww, does it hurt, big brother?".
