Chapter 131 - Bachelor Party

Selene's and Renz's prenup photoshoot ended well. On the last day, they made sure to enjoy the beach together with Grandma Elysa and Eros.

Grandma Elysa was so happy that she got to bond with the young ones. She was now looking forward to their wedding.

Their wedding day was getting near. Both Renz and Selene were having mixed feelings about this.

After spending their three days in Oceaniz City, the four of them had returned to the City of Sierra.

Eros was now staying at the mansion, living together with Selene and Grandma Elysa. For the past few days, he could tell that Selene was avoiding being alone with Gabriel.

She was doing it to prevent Gabriel from stealing kisses from her.

However, Eros looked like he was really testing and tempting Selene. Selene had lost count of how many times she saw Gabriel walking around the house half-naked.

This often happened during his morning workout routine and whenever he was fresh from the shower.

His upper abdominal muscles and chiseled chest were exposed to Selene as if he was intentionally flexing his beautiful physique. 

He was tempting her or rather, seducing her with his masculine charm. It was effective since Selend was having a hard time forgetting his well-toned eye-catching and mouth-watering physique.

Selene would always flee and run away, locking herself in her room. Eros's seduction was working like magic. Selene would end up dreaming of him, touching his well-defined muscles as they kissed each other.

Selene was now sitting cross-legged on her bed while leaning her back on the headboard. She took an afternoon nap and drifted off to sleep for a few hours.

She had dreamed of Eros aka Gabriel. And now, she woke up with her blushing face. Selene's mind was being bothered by Gabriel and the memories of their kisses.

"Gosh, what is happening to me? I should stop thinking about Gabriel," Selene mumbled, tugging her hair tightly.

"Is letting him stay here a bad idea?" She continued her monologue as she spoke to herself.

It did not take long when she heard a knock on her door. Thinking that it might be Grandma Elysa, Selene got up from the bed and traced her steps toward the door.

Upon opening it, Eros's handsome face greeted her sight. Before she could say something, Eros entered her room even though she hadn't invited him in.

He walked inside, going to her bed. Selene followed him.

"Hey, Gab, what do you need? Why did you come here?"

Eros turned around, facing Selene. He had an unreadable expression on his face. She couldn't tell what was running on his mind right now.

His gaze was also pressuring Selene, making her conscious.

'Why is he looking at me like that as if I committed some crime?' Selene pondered to herself.

"Selene, are you avoiding me?" Eros asked her directly.

"Uhm, N-No," Selene lied.

A slight frown appeared on Eros's forehead. He continued asking her.

"Did you just wake up?"

"Yes, why?" Selene asked him back. She was confused why Gabriel was interrogating her right now.

His next question caught her off guard.

"Did you dream of me?"

"Cough! Cough!" Selene choked on her saliva when she heard his straightforward question.

'Eh, why is he asking me this? How did he know?'

Eros's blank expression a while ago was now replaced by a mischievous smile. His eyes were gleaming with humor.

"Of course, not! You wish!" Selene said, denying the truth.

Eros's grin widened. He could see through her lies. Besides, Eros also accidentally learned about it when he entered her room to check on her using his cupid form.

Selene was sleeptalking in her sleep. She called his name, Gabriel, several times so he just knew that Selene dreamed of him.

Unfortunately, he didn't know what kind of dream it was. But it looked like Selene would never admit it to him.

In the end, Eros just decided to tease her. He missed Selene. They were living at the same house right now but she was distancing herself from him… from Gabriel.

"Hmm, I thought you dreamed of me."

Selene raised her eyebrow and asked, "Why would I dream of you?"

"Hmm, just simple… you dreamed of me because you missed me. You missed me because you've been avoiding me for the past few days."

"Does it make sense to you now?" Eros said, grinning widely.

"No way! That's not going to happen."

"Hmm. It's possible." Eros insisted.

"No!" Selene responded.

"Yes!"

Selene and Eros started bickering again. After a while, Eros burst out laughing. He really missed talking with Selene like this.

"Why are you laughing?" Selene asked him with a frown on her face.

"Nothing. I'm just happy I got to talk to you again even if you are bullying me."

Selene hit Eros's chest.

"You are the bully one, not me!" Selene spat back at him.

"You are the bully because you are hurting my feelings by avoiding and ignoring me!"

Selene: "..."

Selene fell silent after seeing the serious expression of Eros. He looked really sad.

'I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. It's just that I am protecting my heart…' Selene frowned as she didn't dare to say the next words in her mind.

Her alter ego completed it for herself. 'Protecting your heart from falling for him.'

After that awkward silence, Eros had spoken again to change the topic.

"Samantha called while you were sleeping a while ago. I came to relay her message."

"Oh, what did she say?"

"She wanted to remind you about tomorrow's party. Have you forgotten that she organized a bachelor party for you while Renz's friend also prepared one for him?" Eros informed Selene.

Selene smacked her forehead as she almost forgot about it.

"Okay. Are you attending Renz's party too?" Selene asked him curiously.

"No! I prefer to attend your party." Eros promptly responded.

Selene shook her head helplessly. "Fool. It's exclusive for ladies. A guy is not allowed to attend my party. You can join Renz and his friends. A party exclusive for all boys!"

"I'm not interested. I will just watch over your Grandma."

Selene nodded her head. She didn't force Gabriel to mingle with Renz and his friends.

"How about you friend, Micaela? Is she attending your party?" Eros asked Selene as he remembered her bitch friend.

"Oh, I received a message from her. Unfortunately, she can't come tomorrow. She said she had a night-shift duty on the hotel where she was doing her On-The-Job training."

"Oh, that's great then," Eros said enthusiastically.

"Huh? Why great?" Selene asked him with intrigue. 

'Why do I feel like Gabriel doesn't like Micaela as well? He is showing the same expression as Eros whenever Micaela is being mentioned.'

Eros shrugged his shoulder and responded, "Hmm, nothing! Never mind."

*****

The next day, the Bachelor Parties for Renz and Selene were being held in different venues.

Their friends made an effort to surprise them and enjoy this night as a single person before getting married to each other.

Selene's female classmates attended her party. Only Micaela was not around. Samantha was the main host of the party.

Unknown to Selene, Samantha connived with someone to make this night exciting and enjoyable for Selene.

Killjoy was not allowed in this party. Everyone could get wild as they wanted including Selene, or rather, most especially Selene.

Meanwhile, the boys were also thinking the same thing as the girls. Arthur prepared a lot of surprises for Renz tonight.

Arthur personally invited Mr. M to attend the party. He was also there, joining Renz and his friends.

Arthur even asked help from Mr. M to prepare the big surprise for Renz. Mr. M gladly accepted his request.

He would not waste this opportunity to implement his plan. Getting closer to Arthur became one of his advantages.

Since, this was a boys' party, the liquor, beer, and other alcoholic drinks would never be missing.

But Renz tried his best to control his alcohol intake since he had low tolerance when it came to alcoholic drinks.

He didn't want to pass out in the middle of the party. They played drinking games until some of the boys became tipsy.

The venue was also filled with live music as if they were in a club.

"Sigh, the party is boring without women…" One of the boys complained to Arthur.

Arthur just smiled at him meaningfully. Then he glanced at Mr. M. He nodded at him as if giving him a go signal.

Arthur's lips curled into a mischievous smile before standing up to call someone. Renz and Mr. M were sitting on the soft couch when Arthur joined them after making that call.

It did not take long when the door of the venue opened and a group of ten ladies wearing sexy and hot costumes entered the room.

"Whoah?! Here are our angels!" One man gasped in excitement.

The slow sexy music started playing and the ladies started dancing in front of those men.

Mr. M's eyes lingered on a particular woman. It was Micaela.
