Adreano's POV :

I smashed a car! Wow! What more bad is to come! I threw my fist on the steering. My head was aching. I prayed in my mind no one to be hurt. I came out of the car.

It was dark. But faraway the tinkling street lights helped me a bit only to see a woman coming out of the car.

She was looking like a three dimensional shadow stomping furiously back and forth of the car. I approached her.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked.

She was looking for the damage I made to her car. I couldn't see her as I was facing her back.

"I'll be okay only when the cops will take you away." She said. I could hear her growling in anger.

"No use of calling the cops. They are not going to arrest me." I grinned.

"Huh, I bet your ass will be red in the cell with tattoos of sticks." She turned to me and came closer to me. I was now able to see her.

She was tall. Matching my height only because of those high heels. Long hairs falling down to her breasts. No doubt she was attractive as hell.

"I will pay for the damage." I threw my hands towards the BMW. The headlights were popping out and the front was filled with big and small dents.

She didn't responded. She didn't even looked at the car. She was starting at me in confusion.

"What? Say something lady I don't have time to let you looking at me the whole night." I said in disgust.

"Ad...Adreano Stryker." She said while slowly pointing her long index finger at me.

"Yes."

"Oh My God! I just can't believe it. You idiot. You changed so much!" She started shouting in excitement.

"Did the accident affected you brain? Don't you dare to call me like this. Vomit the numbers and I will pay you right now." I went back and took out the cheque from the car.

"I will pay extra so that you can check yourself to a doctor." I took out the pen. "Your name?" I asked in disgust.

"Shutup Popcorn!" She started laughing.

"Now you are crossing your limits lady. Get the hell out of here." I lost my temper and fled towards my car. I opened the door but then I stopped. I turned to her.

"What did you just called me? Popcorn?"

"Yes, remember me now? She was happy as I could see her thirty two teeths.

"No, but I remember someone used to call me by that...uh..S..Selene?" My weary eyes widened to it's whole extent.

"Yes, Selene. Your best friend from school!" She nodded her head happily.

"Well, I kind of doubt. Because the Selene I knew, was not exactly a girl. I mean she was a girl but with a tough skin, hairs all over her hands and some grew on her face too."

"Shut up or I will kick your ass you mean brat. I am changed now. I am now a beautiful woman. You see." She raised her chin proudly and shrugged her shoulders.

I hugged her. It felt so good. "Wasn't it painful waxing those bear haired hands?" I burst out laughing.

"Fuck you!" She punched on my face.

"Owww! I lost my teeth!" I placed my hands on cheeks.

"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't knew I was that strong." She said nervously. Checking out my face.

"Gotcha!" I laughed again.

"Stop it Ady!" She punched again but this time on my stomach and it caused a slight pain.

"Okay sorry. Cool down." I hugged her again.

"Ady I have to go. It's too late now."

"I will drop you."

"No, I will manage. Thank you."

"Are you sure? If you don't mind I can drop you."

"I'll go by my car." She smiled.

I glanced over the dented car, almost broken from front, from which smoke was coming out, "I don't think you will be able to even start up the car."

"Of course I am not going to go by this. Thank goodness I was already out of this car before you smashed it, it was not working and stopped in mid of this fucking forest. I was out to make a call to my assistant. He will be here with the driver anytime." She smiled.

She has changed so much. I couldn't help to get my eyes off her. My best friend from school was standing right in front of me. Not fat but lean. No jersey but a short little dress. No sneakers but a stiletto. I just hoped she's not changed from inside. If yes, then I don't think we will be best friends anymore.

After few moments I saw another BMW shining in the moonlight, smoothly making it's way towards us. I was a bit shocked. Two BMWs, assistant and a brand-new Selene. She was not the one who would even go in a taxi to home. I am happy she grew in her life. Maybe I'll get the whole story after I meet her.

"Can we meet tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yes. In the evening."

She smiled. We hugged each other and she left.

What a relief. Selene, my friend is back. My depressed mind instantly charged up. My driver arrived with another car. I told him to take the car to the mechanic and I drew back home making sure to make no more accident.

I stepped in my room. Mom and Grandma was already present.

"Do I have to put a sign? You can't enter my room without my permission." I took out my shirt and threw on the bed.

"What happened to you? What's that on your forehead." Mom said coming to me but she stopped mid way as I gestured my hand to stop. "Out of my room please." She was looking at me shocked. "Adreano...listen.." she pursed her lips and tears ran down her cheeks. "Please." I said again. She left but before going out she looked at me with pleading eyes. I moved my face to the other side and she left.

"Oh God.." I muttered as I sat on the bed. The headache started again.

Grandma walked outside my room and I heard the door close. There was a knock on the door. "Whose it now?" I shouted. My eyes on the door. It opened, "Can I come in Mr. Adreano." Grandma's head popped in from the door space. I couldn't help but chuckled. "You don't need permission Grandma, it was for her." My smile faded.

Grandma sat besides me. She was holding a first aid kit. Well, not a kit but a big white box with a red cross on it. She opened the box and started cleaning the bruise on my forehead with a cotton and betadine solution. It was burning but I remained quiet as if I not affected my the pain.

"You shouldn't have talked to her like that child. She is your mom after all."

"You are my mom. She just acts."

"She was not acting. The tears in her eyes were real, the pain in her heart after seeing the bruise on your forehead was real. She is you mother. You will not talk to her again like this promise me."

I looked at her. "Promise?" She whispered. I smiled. "Yes. Promise." I hugged her.

"You disappointed me today." She said.

"Why?" I asked in confusion.

"Well, when your mother rushed in my room and said that you came back home in another car, I was happy. We didn't knew you met an accident. I thought you are back with girls, drunk and ready for rocking this bed." I looked at her, my eyebrows raised. She was saying to so seriously, she continued, "But...look at this bed," she patted her hands on the sheets, "The bed is clean, everything in order. The bedsheets are proper, no sign of a women's clothes anywhere on the corner." She then turned my chin to the mirror in front of us, "Look, a bachelor, handsome billionaire, with a muscular body is sitting on bed with his Grandmother who is dressing his forehead. Life is so hard on us." She sighed nodded her head in disappointment.

I couldn't control anymore and I burst out laughing. She laughed as well. I stood up and walked across the room, my hands on my stomach. I laughed so hard, it caused pain in my stomach. I managed to to stop for a while and hugged her once again.

"I love you so much." I squeezed her a bit.

"I love you to son." She replied.

"Now I am feeling really sleepy and I don't want to sleep on your clean bed. Good Night son. Sleep well."

"Good Night Grandma." She went.

I took a bath. Wore boxers and curved the sheets on my body. I closed my eyes. The day went smoothly but the night was terrible. Well, not terrible. It was terrific!
