A/N I'd love to dedicate this chapter to the person who created the most amazing cover! Thank you and do request covers from this awesome designer  @CallMeDevil-

Also, I apologized for the delay in uploading chapters to this story for a quite some time. Been super busy with the final year of my course, therefore, I have too many assignments that need to be done on time. But do not worry because I constantly write new chapters offline as it makes my job easier to just upload the chapters when I have a proper internet connection! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I wrote it. Remember to vote, comment and share the story with anyone you know. It would mean so much to me!

Chapter 3 – Mystery Man

Woof! Woof! Woof!

I groaned and shift myself to the other side of the bed while pulling the blanket and cover my face. A few minutes later, I feel that my hand got so wet and it irritated me. I pull the covers away from my face and notice that it was my dog sitting on the bed licking my hands. I chuckled at her.

"Good morning to you too, chicka." I ruffled her furs and grabbed her then placed her on the bed. She jumps up and down while wiggling her tail.

"Are you hungry, chicka?" she replied me by barking adorably. I giggled at the sight.

I got up from the bed and make my way downstairs to the kitchen while carrying my chicka in my arms. She couldn't stop licking my cheeks. I made that disgusted look at her and she growled at me. Damn man. I mean she knows how to control me.

I, then put her down and she quickly rushed towards her bowls that were placed right next to the kitchen back door. I went to the cupboard below the sink to get her favorite biscuits and poured some into her bowl. She eats her food happily. In the meantime, I refill her bowl with water. She loves to drink, I mean it's good. At least I don't have to worry about her health.

Two hours later

[Author's note: You may listen to the song on Spotify or you can find it yourself or for those who are lazy enough to find it yourself, I shall attach the mv. It's called Slow Hands by Niall Horan]

After finishing my exercises, I head to the bathroom to take a nice cool shower. Grabbed my towel by the rack and took off all my sweaty clothing and placed it in the laundry basket. I take out my phone from my back pocket and connect my phone to the speakers. Browsing through my Spotify playlist and press the play button. Soon, the music started blasting through the speakers.

I got into the shower and rinse my body with cold water. Man. That feels so refreshing. As I was washing my body; I hummed and sing along to the song playing through the speakers on the wall inside the bathroom.

"we should take this back to our place..." sing along to the song while rinsing my head with the cold running water.

"I've been thinking about it the whole day. And I hope you feel the same way" I got out from the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist.

I make my way to the closet. Stand there for a moment while browsing through the outfits that I have. Hmm, I think I should go with this black t-shirt and pair it with some jeans. I thought to myself.

Just as I was about to grabbed the clothing from the hanger; my music stopped playing for a second then continue on. That is when I know that my phone received a message. I quickly walk back into the shower and pick up my phone.

Unlocked my phone and open the message. It is from my best bud, Edward. It says:

Hey man! It's been awhile.

The boys are throwing some black light party tonight!

Wanna tag along?

-ed

I quickly reply his text saying that I will be joining the fun, tonight! This is going to be fun. It has been ages since I have a good fuck with some random chicks. I need to release my monsters tonight. If you know what I mean. Soon enough, Ed replied me with a winky emoji. I chuckled and resume back to dressing up before heading downstairs.

Grab my keys on the counter in the kitchen along with my phone. Pick up my chicka and gave her a kiss before head out to meet up with the boys at their apartment that it looks like a warehouse for some reason. Good thing that their house is only like one hour by car but with my black baby probably around thirty minutes ride from here. Make my way to my bike and start up the engine with a roaring noise. I love my black baby right here. It's the Kawasaki Ninja H2R bike. Slick and the fastest baby.

(put BLACK Kawasaki Ninja H2R bike picture in the story later)

Thirty Minutes Later

Turned off my bike and got off. At the same time, I watch Ed coming out from his house aka warehouse; making his way towards me.

"Hey man!" Ed greeted me and gave me a bro hug.

"Hey yourself there man." I chuckled and walked with Ed going into his house.

Ed grabs the door handle and slides the door open. There I was standing frozen at sight. These boys got some seriously mad skills in decorating and throwing the best party in town. I cursed at sight and greet the boys in the house.

"Dude! This place is lit! Wow!" I walk around the house and admiring all the decoration details.

"Well, thank you, milord. Glad we impressed you once more" the twins chuckled and fist bump with each other.

"Who did you guys invite for the black light party tonight?" making my way to the Dj stage and play around with the devices.

"Let's just say we invited lots of people." Ed winked at me and laugh while setting up the paint booth right by the door.

"I called my neighbors. You know the hot neighbor?" Tyler said.

"You mean that blonde model lookalike?" I asked Tyler. He nodded.

"She said one of her best friends went into a bad breakup. Something about this Friday that they are going to get married but the guy was caught cheating on her best friend with her own bestie?" Tyler said with his face looking so unsure.

I nodded and said, "Well then we should give them a good revival party tonight."

The boys chuckled and continued on doing all their stuff. In the meantime, I don't have anything to do much so I decided to remix up some songs for tonight's playlist. I pull out my phone from my back pocket and pluck into laptop and speakers. Browsing through my phone playlist and randomly select the music. Soon the music is playing and the boys and I are nodding our heads to the song while doing out stuff.

"Max! We invited a special Dj to play some of his sick music. " Ed came over to me.

"Really? That's even better! I wonder who is that Dj though." I asked Ed. Ed put up his finger to his lips telling me it's a secret. I nodded.

Before leaving this warehouse, I grab my stuff and told the boys that I was leaving for a bit to go grab some drinks, food, and changeup for the party tonight. The boys gave me a thumbs up and we exchanged we see ya 's.

Got to my bike and start it up. Quickly sped back home and make reservations for caterer, bartender, and pizzas.

"Alright, sure. Everything must be up and ready at the Warehouse before 9 p.m. tonight." I remind the pizzeria shop, bartender, and the caterers.

"Of course, Mr. Max. We won't let you down. Thank you for ordering!" I hummed in to respond and hung up the call.

Woof, woof, woof! I smiled and made my way to the living room. Chicka was calling for me and wiggling her tail telling me that she is very delighted to see me back home. I gave her a belly rub and wrestle with her for a bit then fill up her bowl with her favorite biscuits and water bowl before I head up to take a shower.

The usual shower routine for me is to pluck in my phone to the speaker and randomly select the song before step into the shower. Nodding my head to beat of the song while lather in some shampoo to my hair then moving onto washing my body. Did some shaving and let me tell you. I do look good after that. Stepped out from the shower, wrap a towel around my waist and head to my closet.

Took me a few minutes to get ready. My usual outfit is a black t-shirt, ripped skinny jeans, my favorite gold watch and cologne. Did my hair the usual style. Stood in front of the mirror; admiring my tattoos and thinking maybe I should get some more design. I check myself out one last time before grabbing my necessities and head downstairs and make my way to the party.

Once I'm downstairs; make my way to the fridge and grab a can of beer then chuck it down like a pro. I smiled at myself and dispose the can in the bin under the sink. Suddenly my phone rings. I rush towards my phone and pick them up call without checking who was calling.

"Hello?" I say and sounded like I was out of breath.

"Max. I've done something terribly wrong." Said the guy. I frowned and take a look at the caller.

"Wait. How did you get my number?" I said while making my way to the couch.

"I got it from Ed. And it's Shawn here." I nodded.

"What have you done wrong this time? If this is about you needing me to clea-" Shawn cut me off.

"I cheated on my fiancé with her best friend last night." Wait the minute. Did he say, fiancé? Since when this dude wants to get serious about marriage? I thought to myself.

"I can't help you with your shit man. That's your own doing." I said and almost hang up on him.

"No, you need to listen. Max, I love her so much but I also like her best friend." I chuckled.

I shake my head and said "I warned you far too many time man. Don't let the girls fall for you. Things will get ugly when you decided to cheat."

Shawn sighed on the other side of the line. "I'm a mess and I want to get out and have fun tonight. How about you join me, max?"

I swear this man is too much. All the boys included warned him not to play around with girls' feelings because there are times a girl would truly fall for a guy that happens to be a bad boy or playboy. I thought to myself while shaking my head.

"Maybe you could join the boys and I tonight. Twins are throwing a black light party." I said.

"Cool then. Maybe I can chill out because this bestie I hooked up with is very annoying." I chuckled.

"Not my fault. It's your choice for putting two fishing rods in the same pond." We said goodbyes' and hung up.

Before heading out to the party. I messaged the twins about Shawn are joining the party. Soon enough I heard a ping and the twin sent two thumbs up emoji.

One hour later

I make my way to the door; knocking before entering. At the very moment, the house was already filled with so many people. Music is blasting through all the speakers. Lights are on. Food is on the table on the other side of the room along with the bartender bar. The best part? Everyone was covered in fluorescents paints. Now, this is how a party should look like.

I went to the paint booth that was set up right beside the door. I smiled at Clarissa. She returned me with her smile and back away from me. Because she knows what I'm doing. I tore up my shirt. Start to cover my body with the paint.

Soon enough, I walk around the people on the dance floor trying to find the boys. I found them standing near the door that leads to the roof.

"Hey boys!" I greeted them and bro hugs.

"Yo max! Looking smoking hot!" Jason commented on my paint. I smiled.

"I swear if I'm a girl, I am so crushing on you right now, max!" we laughed at Tyler's remarks.

"Did you guys see Shawn around here?" Twins nod their head signaling me that Shawn was on the dance floor. Grinding on a girl.

"Where're your hot neighbors and their best friends?" I asked Tyler.

Tyler quickly grabbed his phone and unlocking it before typing on it. Minutes later there is a ping noise. "The girls are on their way! About 1, 2, 3!"

I feel as if the world just froze in time.
