I returned home around 7 in the evening. I had lunch in Keventers and went for ice – creams too. I bought some furniture items and ordered some for my café. I am really excited for my passion this time. I went to my bedroom to grab my clothes when the same picture of Fritz and mine caught my eye again. It was infront of our Tokyo house with the cherry blossom tree behind it . I sighed deeply . I indeed miss Fritz. The coffee shop is just an excuse to keep myself busy so that I don't breakdown.

While returning from the malls , I noticed a new drinks shop opened there. It looked so cleaned and polished. I want to go there but going alone would be a little awkward so I have decided to call Aron, would that be awkward?

I texted him,

"Hey , Um...I am thinking of going to the new club that opened today in the downtown , will you have time to go there?"

His response came in a minute like somehow he was always waiting for a message of mine.

"Hey>> yeah sure , at 9 then".

I was excited and nervous at the same time. It's like I am hanging out for the first time with Aron . But it's not worth overthinking as I am going there to enjoy myself there.

I looked up for some new dresses that I purchased today and found one shining black dress that I had specially purchased for any occasion. I put some makeup on and it was after weeks that I felt pretty and decorated.

It was 8:55 when Aron arrived in his metallic black car and I hopped downstairs as I was excited for the club. He came out and looked at me. "You...uh...look good" his voice nervous. "Thanks" I just gave a quick smile and he opened the car door for me. I went inside and headed to our destination. In the car , he pulled up one of my favourite music 'Escapism' and I was humming with the music. He began the conversation as , "So , how did you decide on going to the club?". I didn't know myself but I began as , "I saw the outlet and it looked quite good and charming from the outside, the night lights might make it more beautiful , so ...uh...a little mind deflection" I stopped. He just nodded and not long we reached the club.

'NIGHT OUTS' , the words were shining with colourful Disco lights. It looked so fashionable and pretty . I got out from the car and Aron and I went inside. Songs were playing and people were dancing their heart out. The bottles were designed in those shelves neatly and waiters were moving here and there for their orders.

Aron's phone was ringing and he excused himself for a minute. I went to one of the seats and looked at the drinks list. A waiter came to take the order and when I looked at him , I was amazed , "Ethan!! What are you...like how?" . He recognised me and laughed. "Hi , Melissa right? this is my family's club and I work for the salon as my passion" He smiled. He is following his passion alongside his job and responsibility. That's great. I smiled back and ordered a bottle of champagne and two glasses. He looked a little confused as Aron was not beside me. "Um , my friend is outside for a call , he would be here any minute now." I said. "That's fine , Champagne coming up , ma'am" He laughed. I too giggled with him and waited for Aron. When Aron came after a minute , he looked a bit tensed. "What happened?" I asked. "Melissa , I am sorry , I have to go , there had been some faults in work , I have to check it out , I am sorry." "Bu..t..." Without listening to me , he rushed out. Everything is falling out of place and everyone is slowing going farther . I was just getting up when Ethan came, "hey , your order , where's your...umm...friend?". "He had some work , I am sorry, you can keep that back , and how much do I have to pay or something?" I asked unknowingly. "Nah, it's fine , you can sit down , we are going to have dance after this." His voice was friendly. I nodded and decided to take some mental notes on the decoration.

It was around 10 pm when the dance started. Everyone had their pairs and I just saw them dancing. Ethan came out of the blue and offered his hand for a dance. I shook my head but he insisted. I went along and danced with the flow. It was fun until the last beat had me and Ethan close enough. My breathe got lost as he gazed into my eyes. Those sparks were coming from his eyes and his face revealed like he's waiting for the next move. I was feeling that Fritz was touching me again. I gasped some air and got nervous, " S..Sorry...Sorry ....i ...uh..just..i am sorry" I rushed to the front door ran. I saw people looking at me but the only thing that came to my mind was-

I can't fall in love, because for me , being in love takes every inch of my heart , it breaks me , twists me and scatters me into pieces. Ethan's eyes had that charm but....i can't , I have to get bold this time and forever. My life can never be completed without Fritz.
