Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

When we arrived at the karaoke bar, the place was completely packed. Levy gave our names at the door, and a friendly staff member led us to a reserved table near the stage, promptly calling waiter over.

We sat down and ordered our drinks. There was a couple on stage singing Kid Abelha’s “Intimate Painting” completely off–key, but everyone in the bar was singing along and encouraging them to continue. It was a very laid–back atmosphere with incredible energy – everyone was laughing, singing, dancing, clapping, whistling, as if they were at the greatest show on earth. The place was beautiful, with dim lighting, and the band was truly sensational.

We had barely sat down when Virginia already signed up for a song and started forcing everyone at the table to do the same. When it was my turn, I stalled by saying I was undecided about which song to choose..

“Oh no, Catherine, don’t even start. You’re getting up on that stage tonight,” she demanded.

“Okay, Vi, but give me a minute to choose the song,” I replied.

The night was going well, super fun, and Levy was being incredibly attentive and flirtatious. All the girls had already gone up to sing, and so had the guys. Levy said he was waiting for me. Virginia had a beautiful voice and wasn’t the least bit inhibited on

stage.

I was having a great time until I heard someone start singing and the commotion of women shouting “handsome, hot stuff, come sing at my place,” creating quite an uproar. That voice, melodious, slightly husky, and perfectly in tune, was singing:

“No quiero separarme de ti / Ni siquiera un momento / No quiero perder el tiempo / Tu sabes que te quiero a morir/Que no soy de aspavientos / Y que me gusta lento”

When I turned to look at the stage, I saw Alexander there, singing. No way! What a coincidence! Had he seen us? My question was answered when he came down from the stage while singing, pulled me by the waist, and started dancing with me as he sang. People around us exploded in applause and shouts of “lucky girl,” “beautiful couple,” and so on.

Alexander led me in the dance, singing as if making a declaration. I was trapped in his arms and completely frozen. For a moment, my mind went blank – nothing else mattered except being in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and we danced, just like we did at the bar. My heart was racing, and I was breathless. He had a beautiful voice; it was delightful to hear

him sing.

I closed my eyes, and it felt like I was in a dream full of promises of a happy future. When the song ended, I thought I would wake up, but Alexander held me tighter and whispered in my ear:

“Let’s get out of here, come with me, my love.”

For a moment, I almost left with him to wherever he wanted to go, but in a split second, I remembered Levy and our friends – I couldn’t do this, Levy didn’t deserve that. I pulled away from Alexander’s arms and said:

“No! I can’t just leave.”

I returned to the table with my heart racing, not even noticing that Alexander was following me. When I reached the table, I saw Rick, Henry, Fred, and Patrick. What was this? How was it possible in such a big city to run into each other again at the same place? I never thought they’d be into karaoke. Levy stood up and pulled out the chair for me to sit.

“Miller. Are you following me?” Levy asked, seeming amused, but there was something behind that provo.on, perhaps the beginning of irritation.

“Get over yourself, Levy, you’re not my type. But you’re trying to get your hands on what’s mine,” Alexander responded, full of himself.

“I wouldn’t be so sure it’s yours,” Levy teased further.

“And can you ladies explain what you’re doing with these guys again?” Henry asked, crossing his arms and staring at Samantha.

“Darling, I don’t have to explain anything to you!” Samantha replied with a smile.

“But you have a lot of explaining to do, wifey,” Rick spoke angrily Tess.

Honey, I went out with friends to have fun. And I told you,” Tess responded with a mischievous smile at Rick.

“No, no, you said you were having dinner with your girlfriends – females, all women. Then I find you at a bar all smiles with Levy and his little group,” Rick wasn’t satisfied and didn’t hide it.

“Well, Melissa, you’re in the same situation as Tess. Care to expla?” Fred seized the opportunity.

“Oh Fernando, stop right there. I went out with friends to have fur There’s nothing wrong with that,” Melissa shut him down immediately. “But I really want to know how you gentlemen ended up here. Start explaining, because I’m sure none of you like karaoke.”

When Melissa demanded explanations, Fred deflated and stammered but couldn’t answer. We looked at Henry who remained silent, and Patrick was scratching his head as if thinking up an excuse.

“Ricardo, can you explain this? How did you guys get here? I hope there’s no skirt–chasing involved in this story, and don’t tell me it was a coincidence. Come on, spill it!” Tess demanded from her husband.

“Ah, Tess, you’re my wife. You don’t think you can just go out without me knowing where, right?!” Rick responded, clearly trying to avoid telling how they found us. Tess narrowed her eyes at him.

“Not going to talk?” Virginia asked, staring at Patrick. “Alright then girls, what do you think about going somewhere else? Maybe your apartment, Luke?”

“I think that’s a great idea, Sardines! We can finish the night there!” Luke agreed, kissing the back of Virginia’s hand.

“Oh come on, Red, stop it. It was Rick’s fault, he tracked Tess’s phone!” Patrick quickly confessed. My god, he was like a desperate puppy following Virginia, willing to do anything she wanted.

“Damn it, Patrick, you big mouth!” Rick spoke irritably.

“You tracked my phone, Ricardo? Seriously? Again? Even after everything you promised?” Tess was outraged.

“Tess, it was an extreme measure. You know I’m not the jealous type, but you five are giving these guys too much attention. I take care of what’s mine. And Alexander was going crazy because of Catherine, I felt bad for him,” Rick tried to explain.

“Oh really, and I was the only one going crazy? Each of us was more desperate than the other,” Alexander confirmed and crouched next to my chair. “Cat, I go crazy just thinking you won’t come back to me. Please, we need to talk.”

“You’re crossing the line, Alexander. You mess with us and then keep following us everywhere. I don’t like this! We have the right to go out, have fun, and have friends,” I replied irritably. 1
