Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

Stefan drove to the apartment parking lot. He was hoping she was here. Somebody opened the door and he followed then he went up to her apartment and was pressing the bell. But nobody answered. So he was sitting on the floor in front of her room.

Stefan called James to asked if she came back home yet but the answer was no. He kept calling her and left messages. Time had passed slowly than ever for Stefan. He called Sam and Sophia in case she decided to join them but they did not know and now they were worried, too.

Stefan believed she would be here so he was sitting leaning against her room\'s wall. He was awake until three o\'clock then he fell asleep. Stefan woke up about five. He rang the bell in case she came and sneaked in while he was sleeping but no response. Stefan went down and asked the security there. The guy said he had not seen her come.

"Where are you, Wine?"

Stefan was so worried and stressed. The weather was very cold and she had not taken her medication and supplements with her.

Where did she go? All night and she had not been back here. Where could it be? He knew she was not kidnaped and it was because of Pichani. But if he could not find her today he would go to the police for sure.

Stefan decided to drive to her mother\'s house. He could just call and asked Wilaiwan. But he felt he needed her wise words to make him feel better. 

  "Oh, what happened? No, I haven\'t heard from Wine. Oh, God."

She said with a concerned expression on her face.

"I\'m sorry for causing your daughter to be suffering like this."

Stefan sat on the sofa on the porch of the front of the house. Wilaiwan looked at his unhappy anxious face and sighed.

"Probably because of the hormones. A woman when she is pregnant, her mood and emotions might not quite stable as it\'s used to be. Wirata probably is a little sensitive at this time."

Wilaiwan said with her gentle voice. She felt sorry for Stefan and worried about her daughter. From what Stefan said, she believed Wirata was upset because her daughter loved Stefan so much and the memory of the past was not a simple one but it was quite a bad and unimpressive memory for a young lady at her sixteen.

No matter how much the man had been greatly improved but the old pictures would never go away. Just like everything, once had been stamped in the subconsciousness, it would always be there. You could forget about it but the deep imprints had installed and one day when you were weak or when there was something came to stumble on it. It would float up to the surface and would bite your feelings or made you itch more or less.

  "As you might know, my past with women was so messy and not very impressive to Wirata. If she chooses to look back at that point and cannot move forward and sees the other points, she will suffer and upset every time. And I can not do anything about it. I cannot go back to fix my bad past."

He said. His voice was full of sorrow. He understood the word \'Karma\' more and more now. The action he did in the past. The playboy lifestyle that he never cared for and never thought it would matter. He did whatever that pleased him. Now Karma was teaching him a good lesson again that he had to pay back in some way for his careless actions and behaviors that might have hurt a lot of women who came into his life in the past.

"Give her some time. I think when she feels better, she will come home by herself. "

Wilaiwan said to make Stefan feel better.

"I am very worried about her and the baby and Summer, too. She needs to take her vitamins and stuff on time and it\'s all here with me."

The man said with his sad solemn face. Wilaiwan could not help to smile even she was so worried. He loved her daughter very much, no doubt about that. Stefan Mackenzie was adorable with the medications in his pocket so she patted his back gently.

"She wouldn\'t do anything silly. Stefan. She will take good care of herself. But she might just want to be alone for one night."

"I probably am the annoying person to her too. Sometimes I think I don\'t deserve her at all. she is too great for a bad person like me."

He spoke with a shaking voice from his inner emotions.

"In life, a lot of us have done something that we might not be so proud of. Or might have created consequences in negative ways and caused other people\'s problems. But it had been done and gone and finished. As you said, you cannot do anything about it. So what you can do is to create a better present and future.  And you have already proven that you can change. You are a good person now. Don\'t blame yourself too much. Wirata wouldn\'t have fallen for you if she did not see the good sides of you. " Wilaiwan said.

Stefan sighed heavily. He nodded lightly. Wilaiwan patted on his shoulder. 

  "Stop thinking bad about yourself. It only makes you feel depressed and sad. And it doesn\'t help you at all. Now you are on the right track. So, keep going. Go home and have some sleep. I will let you know immediately if I hear from Wine."

  Wilaiwan told him. His condition was not looking good. His hair was very messy. There were shadows under his eyes and rough jaws with the growing beard.

"Thanks very much. Please let me know."

He said to her and then left.

The situation was everybody was trying to find Wirata from all what they could do.

Stefan went back to the penthouse, took a shower. He could not eat. He did not feel hungry. He ordered his men to look around. He could not report the police for her missing before 72 hours.

He went out again and stayed around her apartment until about 7 p.m. when Stefan came back home. He took a shower and sat down on the bed. His face was unshaved.

Stefan walked out of the bedroom. He could smell some food.

"You should eat something, boss. You haven\'t eaten at all and it isn\'t good."

James said. He ordered food for the boss as he had not had anything apart from coffee.

"I don\'t feel hungry. Have you tried again?"

Stefan asked with his solemn face.

"Yes. Her phone is still off but I am sure she will turn it on soon."

James said to make the boss feel better. But he sighed.

The James phone\'s ringing. He hurried to pick it up. It was from Evelyne, Summer\'s doctor.

"Hello. Evelyne\'s speaking."

She said.

"Hi. What can I do for you?"

James responded with an excited voice because this was the first time she called him. He gave Evelyne his personal phone number so that she could contact him about Summer\'s appointment as now the boss and his lady seemed to be a little busy so James took it as his responsibility.

  "I am calling to ask if you forget about Summer\'s appointment. He\'s scheduled for a haircut at um, now. You usually came before time but today I haven\'t seen you in the waiting room. So I called to make sure."

"Um ... Summer isn\'t here."

  "Oh ... where is he? What do you mean?"

"Um ... We just have a bit of a problem here. We are looking for Miss Wirata and Summer."

James told Evelyne for what had happened. Evelyne felt wanted to punch the Bitch\'s face. She knew that  love was so complicated and brought a headache and heartache to people who were in love hole. Better to keep out as she always did. Being with animals are better and safer than being with a man for sure!

"I guess she just wanted to be alone. Oh, I know! James! I know how to find her! Summer has a new GPS tracker on him. And we have talked about this last time, don\'t you remember? The app is on your phone. You just turn it on and you will see the location where he is!"

"Oh, yes! Thanks so much. You are an angel, Evelyne. I\'ll let Stefan know. Oh, and please change the appointment date for me, I mean for Summer. I\'ll let you know when we find them. Thanks! Bye!"

James finished talking to Evelyne and then looked up at his boss and Ben who were listening and waiting.

"I know how to find them now, boss!"

James shouted with excitement!

  ***

Wirata went out to eat with Amiya. After having a good talk until 7.30 p.m. Amiya had to go out to see her spy friend somewhere just for an hour. So Wirata came back to her room. Summer was playing but he seemed a little sad somehow. She thought he might miss home and his daddy.

Wirata felt a little bit better when she got up this morning. But still felt hurt as it was still new. She knew well it was nothing he could do. She was Pichani\'s prey this time, to let the garbage the woman threw at her get into her heart. It was not Stefan\'s fault at all. But she wanted to be alone for a little more longer. Perhaps tomorrow she would call him.

She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. Then suddenly, the image of him standing big and tall in front of Pichani\'s room came kicking on her face again.  After thinking the tears flowed down on her face like every time. She was sick of herself. Her brain knew well but her stupid heart did not stop being dramatic about it.

\'The next time my boyfriend comes, make sure you don\'t come back early as he doesn\'t like to see you here. Stay at the library or what so ever, don\'t get me in trouble.\'

Pichani\'s words were still loud and clear in her head. 

  At 8 o\'clock there was a knock on the door. Wirata hurried to wipe her tears. She thought it was Amiya as it was only the new friend who knew she was here.

Wirata opened the door and she was stunned and shocked to see the tall body of Stefan standing there.

"Stefan."

  Stefan looked at her and felt pain mixed with the relief, wanting to pull her to hug. Her face said that she had been crying a lot. Stefan felt as if somebody was squeezing his heart so hard to see her hurt like this.

He made her cry again. He broke his promise. The promise he gave her not long ago, not to make her shed tears again. If she would cry, it would be only the tears of joy. But now, she was crying not because of joy but with upsetting and sad feelings.

"Wine..."

He called her with his shaky voice. They stood still and staring at each other like that for a moment. Then the tears just flew out of Wirata\'s eyes and Stefan pulled her into his arms.

"Oh, God. Wine. I am so sorry, darling."

  He let a tear came out silently. Wirata could feel it. She  couldn\'t bear to see his tears. She looked up and touched his face.

"I am sorry, too. Please don\'t cry."

She said back to him. They hugged one another so tightly. Both were shaking with all the emotions that were flowing through their minds. Love and pain, sorry and happy, all mixed up and made them cried in silent and in each other\'s arms.

  For one moment, Stefan pushed her shoulders out gently. He reached to wipe the tears from her face. 

  Wirata also reached to touch his face and did the same for him. Then he pulled her to hug again.

"I am so glad I\'ve found you. Oh, Wine, please don\'t do this to me again. Just shoot me next time. Promise me. Please."

He muttered and kissed her hair and put his face on her shoulder. His strong arms cuddled her so tightly as though he was afraid she would disappear from his life again!
