    “The club?” I blurted out as I eyed him. That was thest thing I expected him to say, and as he hummed in response, his fingers slid against the base of my spine and I felt a shudder slither up my spine, making a breath hitch in my thrust<b>. </b>


    “Yeah, why not?” He asked but it was hard for me toe up with a response right now since I couldn’t fully think with his fingers distracting me like this.


    “I- I just think that’s not necessary?” I breathed out while he rolled his eyes.


    “We have just one more night to spend here anyway, I say we visit the club. You’re clearly heartbroken. We can let loose in the club, and drink till we get drunk.” He responded and I chewed on my bottom lip, turning what he just said around in my mind. Going to the club does sound nice, however I was unsure of if I wanna do that right now, cause it didn’t seem like I was up for


    something like that. But he was right about me feeling heartbroken, so I guess a club might be able to help take my mind off things for a while at least.


    “What do you say, bunny?” He asked and I felt my here flutter a little before I red at him.


    “Stop with that nickname.”


    “But I’m already used to it…” he breathed out on a softugh which had my stupid heartbeat fluttering again.


    “Try harder…”


    “I don’t want to. It’s just one more night before we part ways, so suck it up.” He rolled his eyes as he responded while I kept ring at him. He smoothly slid off the cough and I squeaked, clutching his shoulders while he chuckled.


    “You should be assured that I’d never drop you at this point.” He drawled as he set me down, and I felt embarrassed that I had just been sitting on him, when we had no reason to be doing that tight now<i>. </i>He nodded at the outfit I had on tight now.


    “Go change into something sexy. We’re going clubbing.”


    “So, are you gonna have a one night stand tonight?” Zane asked and I almost choked on my drink. Shortly after we arrived at the club, Zane booked a vip corner for us and ordered a bunch <i>of </i>drinks


    for us.


    “W- why?” I finally managed, my grip tightening on my ss.


    “To signify that you’re ready to move on from Marco, obviously.” He pointed out and <b>I </b><b>sipped </b><b>on </b>my drink once I stopped coughing<b>, </b>then I rolled my eyes.

    “One night stands never appealed to me anyway. I’ve always wanted something more emotional than sexual my whole life.” I mumbled and Zane leaned back in his seat, regarding me closely with those intense eyes which made me squirm.


    “So… you’re gonna still keep pining over my brother?” He asked bluntly and I huffed even as my cheeks turned a deep shade of red.


    “Of course not.” I shook my head as <b>I </b>responded. “And, I think I forgot to tell you this, but it seems like most of the help you gave to me, to help me appeal to Marco and finally get noticed by him ended up working, cause he confessed to me this morning.” I revealed and Zane appeared shocked, blinking slowly as he leaned forward.


    “Confessed? About what?”


    “Well, he told me he was also in love with me.” I revealed and Zane blinked slowly as he leaned forward even more.


    “He really did that?”


    I nodded while biting at the inside of my cheeks.


    “Then… why were you sad if he did?” He asked and I sighed, feeling sadness settle within my chest.


    “Cause he basically implied that he’d have me on the side as a side chick and I didn’t want that. I might love him but that doesn’t mean that I’d settle for that kind of less. And since he didn’t call off his wedding despite iming to love me, it meant he didn’t love me enough. So, it hurts that now that he told me those words that I desperately wanted to hear, we still didn’t end up together.”


    Zane had an awed look on as he finally leaned bsck in his seat. “I’m actually genuinely surprised that you told him that, that you refused to settle on just crumbs. I’m very proud of you.”


    Those words made my heart flutter while my cheeks grew hot, and I sipped on my drink to hide that.


    “So… this means you’ll actually try to move on once you return back to the states, right?” He asked and I nodded fast.


    “Yes, I’ll really try to,”


    He shook his head. “You don’t sound convinced enough. I want you to really put your mind to it. You deserve someone better, someone who’ll be very crazy over you, someone who would defend you without questions outside instead of embarrassing you in public countless times. You deserve someone that actually cares about you. Promise me that you won’t just ‘try‘ to move on, you’ll <b>actually </b>fully move on.”


    As his words washed over me, I swallowed emptily before nodding slowly. A thin feeling of determination settled within me. He was right. I really do deserve better.

    He nodded. “Good girl.”


    The shiver that rolled down my spine at that momentpletely caught me off guard like those words had, and as I felt my face grow flushed, I tried to quickly talk about something else to distract myself.


    “So… did you end up seeding in whatever it was that you nned to use our fake rtionship to achieve?” I asked and he blinked, clearly surprised by my question, then he arched a brow.


    “So you still believed I had an ulterior motive?”


    I rolled my eyes at that question. “Of course I do. I’m not stupid. However, I refrained from asking you about it cause I wanted to be selfish. And I knew that if I pester you and you end up telling me the truth, I might not like it and start feeling guilty. So, I figured I was just better off not knowing. But at least now it’s all over so you can tell me the truth now.”


    His thumb rubbed over the rim of his ss as he kept regarding me, then he fondly shook his head. “I think it’s better if you just remain clueless, but to answer your question, I didn’t end up achieving all that I hoped to achieve.”


    “Because the wedding wasn’t called off?
