Chapter 16: Birthday Present

Unknown Person’s P.O.V.

She wasn’t any of my friends’ girlfriend. She was sleeping peacefully on the sofa, and her face was so angelic that you could not even perceive a hint of worry. Her lips were as red as cherries that seemed to be inviting even without a lip tint.

Baffled about how they were able to get this woman, I was sure that she was not a prostitute. She was unquestionably exquisite, and I felt like she was a magnet drawing me near as I stared at her. I couldn’t look away as if my eyes got stuck at her and my friends were no longer here in my condo.

My previous girlfriends were beautiful too, but I must admit that none of them could beat or even match the appearance of the unknown woman who was currently sleeping on the settee. Apart from her porcelain-like complexion, her beauty was indeed fascinating. I couldn’t find the right words to describe it. She had captivated me to the point that I would wish to have finally met her way long before, starting from my teenage years.

Her nose was not that pointed, but it suited her heart-shaped face. Her eyelashes were long, and her cheeks were naturally pinkish even without the slightest touch of makeup.

I did not know how I would react to what my eyes were seeing right now. My mouth slightly parted, but no words came out. She was attracting me towards her until I couldn’t stop myself from running my fingers on her jawline area. I wanted to ask my friends who she was and where they caught her, but I wasn’t able to speak out.

“What now, bro? Did you like our birthday present to you?” Steve asked. “We’re truly sorry that we were not able to put too much effort tonight. We could have at least place her inside a red box for you to unwrap it, but there was no time.”

I swallowed one after the other because it felt like lumps would not stop from forming in my throat. Something strange moved inside my stomach too. I was literally stunned by her beauty that I didn’t know where to find my own tongue. Man! I looked like a teenager who saw his crush due to the overheating of my cheeks now.

“I knew it, dude!” Rico snapped at Steve. “Just as I thought. No doubt, he already liked this girl. Look at how he touched her face—it was full of lust! I was indeed good at choosing, didn’t I? Here, bro, you have to drink first.” He turned to me while handing me a large glass of red wine.

“Am I going to consume all of this? It’s a lot!” I complained.

Because I was not used to drinking too much, I didn’t know if I would consume all of it. I could drink in a shot glass, but what they were giving me right now was a huge beer glass, and the wine content already reached more than its half.

“Of course, bro! Well, it should be bottom’s up and no excuse at all. It is your birthday today, and you will suit yourself with just a shot glass? Hell, there’s no fucking way! You have to drink hard. We will surely get drunk here later, so we will not allow you to end up sober! But anyway, this is just a glass of red wine. You will not get sloshed here,” Gabriel intruded. Jude and Daniel laughed as well.

“Alright! I’m going to drink this, okay? But you, guys, have to promise me first that you will take this beautiful woman to her home safe and sound or take her back from where you took her. Tsk, I know you. Don’t you ever lay a finger towards her!” I ordered them before I blinked and drank all the contents of the glass. The heat of the liquid ran through my tongue, down to my throat, until it fumed my stomach.

“Well, we’re not the ones here who would ravage her body later, bro! It’s you. She’s our gift to you, remember? We want you to enjoy her and feel what it’s like to have your first libido!” I heard Daniel retorted.

“Fool! Just go home and fix yourselves!” I cheekily barked at them.

“Daniel was kidding! Don’t you trust us enough? Don’t worry, we will take her home safely.” Jude promised with a tap on my shoulder.

While it was still early, I had to restrain myself. I was just a man, and with my situation now, I could be tempted easily. Who wouldn’t get enticed by the angelic face in front of me now? Other women who Steve locked me up with were nothing compared to her. She looked like a goddess—so lovely, yet so delicate.
