CHAPTER ONE
Adrian POV
I looked at the message that was just emailed to me few seconds ago by my father
I'm going on an important trip to Russia, you can have whatever party of your choice, just round if off quickly and go back, they're important documents and other things... You need to see and go through.
Celebrate your birthday in peace, don't cause a scandal.
I scoffed closing the message and throwing the phone on the couch, I'm not surprised, it's not like I was expecting a heartfelt birthday message or anything, Dad will never offer anything of that nature, at least he did not forget it entirely this time around. I sighed Looking around the luxurious suit I was currently sitting on, the hotel belonged to my dad, but it's registered under my name which technically makes it mine.
Dad doesn't care much outside of his company and building his empire, so event like this no longer surprised me, ever since Mom died we never celebrated anything again as a family and I have to terms with it, one thing good about my dad is ...Money, he has plenty of it, and still goes to make more, I pretty much lived in luxury since I was born, anything material I wanted or ever desired, I got it without any kind of stress, and now I want an extravagant birthday party..
And I'm going to get it, after all he did say to have any party of my choice, since he has Soo much money, I might as well spend it lavishly.
I picked up the phone to call Mikeh, my friend and also kind of, our event planner
"Hey Mikeh, prepare for my birthday party this evening...do it on a yacht" I said
"Really Adrian, on a yacht??" Mikeh gruff voice resounded in my phone making me shift the phone from my ear in disgust
"What the hell Mikeh, why is your voice disgusting"
I shouted at him, Mikeh is just older than me with just 3 years but acts like a 40 year old man, he takes health supplements all the time and testing new drugs claiming his keeping his himself healthy, I'm sure his gruff voice is as a result of the side effects of testing new drugs.
"My voice is fine Adrian, I took medicine" Mikeh said coughing, as if that will clear it
"You should become a lab rat at this point, don't you think??" I said
"Shut up, and leave my voice alone and tell me why the hell you want to have a birthday party on a yatch"
"Why not, it's not like I can't afford it, " I said, listening to hear Mikeh sigh as he stood up shuffling around his house
"What happened to average parties Adrian??"
" Why should I do average parties, when I can spend extravagantly, I'm trying to put my father's money to use, do you have a problem with that Mikeh??" I asked him, he did not reply, seeming to be downing a cup of water.
"I don't have a problem with you spending, the money is yours, but it'll be much nicer if you put half the effort you put in partying into working in the company"
"Are you insinuating that I should earn my keep, huh??"
"That is not what I'm saying.." Mikeh started, but I cut him off
"I'm not nice, I'm not going to act nice, prepare everything I need and invite the company, it's weekend anyway"
Mikeh who already sound tired just said "Alright... No problem I will prepare everything, don't yell, I can't hear properly "
I scoffed, he can't hear because of his stupid supplements, not my yelling
"And I want you to be there, who knows the wine will loosen up your stuck up voice"
"Shut up Adrian" he said, I could hear the irritation in his voice, after some silence he muttered
"I will be there, as long as you behave" I just scoffed at his words, I'll do what I want to do
___________________________________________________
I smirked as I looked around my surrounding, loud music, drinks, wine , people dancing, grinding , making out, and most important of all women, now this is my kind of scene, though the party has not fully started as the man of the day is yet to arrive and that is me, Elijah's eyes landed on me and smiled, Elijah is my extremely noisy friend, he is british, blonde with creepy gold eyes, his eyes are beautiful but I'll never tell him that .
"Hey everyone , looks like the birthday boy has arrived, and party is just getting started!!"
Elijah yelled on top of his voice bringing all the attention to me, some of my friends that hasn't noticed my presence, shouting and standing up to meet me, girls swooning over my arrival, staring at me with an all too familiar look, I smirked, this is it, I liked the attention, it gave me a thrill I am always looking for, I bask in the praises, I live for it, my whole life has been made up of it anyway, I'm pretty much used to it, but I don't get sick of it especially when an extremely hot girl is looking at me over the corner giving me the green light...just like I thought..
"Woah, hold it there, I know where you are going, but I think you need to cut that giant cake over there, otherwise that guy over there will be very mad" Elijah who is already by my side with his hand slinged on my shoulder said pointing to Mikeh who is holding a large cake with an annoyed expression on his face, I smiled walking towards him " Hey Mikeh, you're here, you even made a cake for me, I'm so touched " I said coming over to where he is standing still glaring at me, his eyes squinting.
"here's your cake, is this the ideal party, you had in mind??" Mikeh asked pushing the cake to me , with my friends surrounding me looking the cake.
"It's not bad, I can't say it's good either, you could have brought the newest one," Mikeh scoffed
"The one that has not even been launched??"
"Yes, that one" I said to irritate him further , but he just breathed in, Mikeh knows how to keep his cool, I've never seen this guy get angry, maybe its because of those stupid supplements
" No can do, cut your cake before I drop it" Mikeh said keeping a straight face, before I could retort something witty, Elijah took the knife and handed it to men, urging me to cut the cake with him standing close to me, as well as my other friends, after the cake was cut Eli quickly grabbed it handing it to someone beside me before dragging me out of the crowd
"Wait Eli, I didn't even taste the cake , that's not how it's done" I said to Eli making him stop abruptly, suddenly realising
"Ooh, is that so? I totally forgot" He said scratching his head, before going back to grab the knife and cut a little part of the cake offering it to me immediately.
" Eli what's the hurry, do you have something important to show me" , I looked at him and he smirked
" Come on, what do you think it is??" He asked raising his brows
"I don't know "I said shrugging, not really curious, Eli never has something new
" Chelsea is here" he whispered to me but I just chuckled
"I already slept with her, don't bother" Eli looked at me his eyes wide with surprise
" Why, didn't you know, I thought I told you, I had fun with her last summer, I have other plans this time"
"Wow, I guess I underestimated you" Eli said, I dragged him close, bringing his attention to the hot brunette at the bar
"And that... Is my other plans, this time around" I said proudly, but Eli stopped to look at me then sniff me again
"Did you change your cologne, you smell different, or... better" Eli said and continued to sniff me
I sighed, did I mention that Eli has boundary issues
"Stop sniffing me you creep, I didn't change shit" Eli had a look that said he is still not convinced but decided to drop it, he probably has plans to bring it up later on, deciding to feed me the cake now, which I took smiling making him smile too, Elijah is pretty much my best friend, of all the friends I have he is the closest, which is very weird because I hate people who don't know when not to cross then line and I hate it when people touch my things, but apparently Eli ways does that without a care in the world but nevertheless he still knows and respect it when I draw the line, I watched him as he grabbed a handful of cake to stuff his mouth, using it immediately to kiss a random girl passing by , earning a loud cheer from our friends making him smirk and continue his way to get drinks, I had already gotten my own drink as I headed to the girl I had my eye on since I got here, she was already smiling in my direction looking at me, I'm not surprised tho, it happens all the time ... It's going to be a fun night.
