Insomniac Troublemaker

"Come out." Lay gestured the lady of his imaginations to step out of the car as they reached the hotel, where the party was organized.

She came out elegantly. "Lay..." Remi tugged on his sleeves. "Does it look like I cried?" She whispered.

"No..." He replied hesitatingly.

"Ok, you go first, then I'll come." She suggested.

"You go inside, I'll park the car in the parking lot."

"I'll wait..." She crossed her arms.

"Remi, go inside, if we have to go inside separately, why will you wa---"

"Don't question me on every single thing." She frowned in disgust.

7 MINUTES LATER,

Lay came back and Remi was waiting outside, more precisely talking to a guy. Lay rushed to the spot.

"I... I am waiting for a friend." Remi uttered to the guy.

"I am that friend." Lay came forward and shook hands with the guy.

The guy smirked at Remi. "So you chose him over all of us? What's your name man?" He smiled at Lay.

"Anonymous .... for you." Lay grinned simply and grabbed Remi's hand.

"Lay!" She whispered. She tried hard to leave his grip.

"Better stay away from her." Lay clutched the guy's shoulder firmly. He shoved Lay's hand away and tred inside the hall.

"What do you think you are doing?" Remi bulged out her eyes at him.

"What nobody did..." He replied, undressing her story with his words. "Protecting you." His eyes roamed nowhere but at her's, still slightly smudged. It was obvious she had rubbed her eyes and wept for sometime. "You look beautiful."

This was his 4th time, telling her the same thing. Unwilling to smile to this sentence, she finally rescued her hand from his hold. "Go..."

"We'll go inside together, either this way or the other. You are wise now." He smirked.

"You win." She raised her arms.

"Always."

Remi remained at his back, and he walked forward. As he entered, his only focus was the guys that begin gaping at the girl behind him. Remi who never bothered about her looks and dressing, was now looking like a princess, the most unavoidable beauty. Her aura was so attractive that it was quite really hard to avoid the addiction her presence caused. And now that her beauty was unleashed, he felt extremely insecure. Being in his his own world, he accidently bumped into a girl.

"I am extremely sorry..." He apologized right away.

"Remi..." The girl called out.

Remi faked a smile and waved from behind.

"You look different, who is this handsome guy?" The girl asked.

"I don't know... ask Kris." She shrugged her shoulders.

Lay turned back and gave her an exhausted look. Then he looked at the girl, now three girls appeared all of a sudden. "Hello, I am Kris's close friend, well, Remi's friend too."

"Haha... all the sexy boys are always her friends... you know, just friends!" She taunted and grinned at Remi.

"Thanks a lot Lay!" Remi grunted and left his eyes immediately.

"Don't bother her, she's always like this." The girl uttered.

She was always like this. "Then you must know nothing about her."

"Oh really, then you must not be just a friend."

Lay remained silent for a few seconds. Remi's collegues, were not friendly and understanding at all. The only companion was Soonmi, and Remi's bond with her seemed secure to Lay. Within the crowd,not being able to run into Remi, Lay found Kris, standing among some of his really wealthy looking friends, and some other businessmen. But the moment his eyes watched Lay, he excused the people and came to his dear friend. He gestured a waiter to attend Lay and present him a drink. Lay apologized and refused, confused.

"You... are you Lay? Yixing?" He laughed.

"What's so funny Kris?"

"You look handsome."

"Is it funny?"

"Did she come?"

So, Lay wasn't the only one searching for her desperately.

"Lay?" Kris called again.

"She did." He mumbled and watched the sparkle in Kris's eyes.

"Where is she then? You both sent back my driver so I thought you guys are not coming."

"Yeah..."

"Where is she?"

"I don't know."

"I so much want to see her, she must be looking really pleasing." His eyes were all revealing his anticipation.

"Why are you so excited?" Lay asked indifferently.

Kris chuckled. "Remi... you know..." Then he halted. "Nothing..."

"Tell me Kris, tell me what have you been avoiding all this time about her?"

He paused and then finally said. "She's has been my desire for quite long."

Silence kept up its speed among them, until Lay broke it. "The party's huge." Lay smirked at his friend, hiding his anxiety behind it.

Kris suppressed his smile. "Its for me, besides." Kris, the self-admirer bragged.

Lay's mind and eyes were somewhere else while his body managed to stand and not react on its own. He never saw Remi in a party dress and ofcourse this was his first time too, like all the other insignificant guys. While standing there with his friend, he finally found Remi with Kris's father, who was introducing her to some other businessmen he guessed. Her party manners, her light gestures and a constant smile plastered to her face was something he could only imagine but never see in actual life. She used to incite the tickling feelings deep inside his skin. But... But he had to stand and endure his friend's constant babbling. Remi's curled strands were a distraction.

"Hey, you even listening?" Kris yelled at him when he perceived that Lay's centre of attention was somewhere else.

"I am trying to... but I have to leave." That was enough self control. He wanted to have her right in front of him, right this moment when he'll manage to dominate and force his manhood over her. He tried to make a way straight to her but she vanished from his view again. His heart and mind slumped into the gravity of earth until a soft dab met his back and he turned around to encounter the lady in long twinkling strappy red dress.

The girl flashed a sexy smile directed at him that used to melt his heart. The girl dragged her fingers over his lips in a breath taking slow pace. He tried to capture her wrist but she slipped away and motioned him to follow. For the sake of being with her, he left the crowdy party people and followed her into a dark corridor with dull lights. He then saw a diamond bracelet thrown at the floor, the same barcelet this red dressed girl was wearing. He moved a little forward and saw a pair of red heels disorderly thrown at her floor. He then continued to follow the girl and could only see her vague image in her long dress. A few steps later, he saw the girl taking off her dress.

Only imaginary girls do that in corridors.

The lights were too dim, he could now only watch her perfect body line, that he had seen a few times before. He tramped hastily and picked up the dress to take in her scent. He rubbed the silk against his nose and breathed in. If only this could happen in reality, that would be the death of him. He felt his pants too tight. He had to do this tonight but not with the girl in his imaginations, he had to do this with the real deal, with real Remi.

But he was so lost in his own world. he couldn't differentiate between real Remi in black or imaginary one in red. He just rushed to her and saw her entering a room. He ran and she smiled at him before closing the door to his face.
