Chapter 23
HALI’S HUMAN FRIENDS
HALI’S POV
“She just saw the painting with a wolf and a burning house on the back. She became uncomfortable.” Khal’s story told what had happened at the exhibit. We just rested at the near hotel at the Light House.
“Isn’t she acting to get the attention of all?” Kastrid rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms. She was sitting at the bed next to Zarya’s bed. The girl’s room had four beds and the boy’s room had four, too.
“Stop talking irrelevantly.” I galred at Kastrid, which was why she stopped. She was annoyed since we settled Zarya in the room.
“Should we call a doctor?” Alisha was located beside Zarya, sitting and looking at her.
“No need. She just needs rest. She has on her period now. Maybe it affects her.” I went to grab the remote and opened the flat-screen TV. There was no TV at the Elemental Kingdom. I missed watching some random shits in it.
“Since when did you care for a woman? Mr. Hali Aiker?” Froy teased me as he was rolling on the bed with Tan Tan.
“Since when I f*ck you!” I showed him my middle finger. He just laughed at me. He moved in his side while rolling and hugged Tan Tan. They hugged each other like cuddling babies. That was their enjoyment when we were together.
They knew my name because they were my friends since I was young. I used to escape from the Elemental Kingdom and that was when I met them. When I was in the Human World, I was living with Froy’s condo or sometimes at Tan Tan’s. I did not want at Khal’s mansion. The paparazzi were everywhere. His life was full messy due to his TV shows shits.
“Everyone’s sure, Zarya’s fine?” Rozella marched towards the mirror. She opened her small bag and got her make-up kits. She loved make ups a lot, which was why she was always in front of the mirror.
“She is. Perhaps… her lower stomach is aching. She’s touching it.” Alisha pointed at her hands intertwining on that portion of her body. “Gonna get a hot bag and medicine.” She stood up.
“Can I come?” Tan Tan immediately went closer to her.
“Let’s go.”
“Hali?” Kastrid hugged my back which I removed immediately.
“We’re not at the kingdom.”
“Sorry. Can I go for a walk?”
“Go.” I went to the bed next to Zarya. Why I was here beside her when I could go out and leave her? When in the world came this feeling of resting next to her?
Froy walked in front of me. He stopped and winked before he followed Kastrid. He would not f*ck Kastrid, right? And so, if they did?
My wonderful tantalizing eyes went to Khal. He was on the veranda, watching the waves of the ocean. I tilted my head to observe his features.
“Oh! Great.” I thought her girlfriend was dumping him again. I settled up, came closer to him. “Anything wrong, Buddy?”
“No, nothing. Really.”
“I told you to get another pussy, Buddy. Don’t stick with a stinky little shit of cunt.”
“Hali! You know it’s not easy.”
“Not easy? Because it’s ten years? You’re afraid of losing her and just left with the memories? Buddy, it’s just a memory. You can build that for another woman you like! For f*ck sake. Everyone’s eyes were on you.” I grabbed his glass of wine and drank it.
“You don’t know the feeling.” He placed his feet on the railings of the veranda.
“I know everything, which was why I didn’t grab a lover again.” I gulped the half content of the wine glass. “She cheated on you plenty of times. You saw it with your own freaking eyes. That bitch should put in the trash.”
“I love her!” He emphasized those words as if that would be the only thing that would make him alive.
“Just give her up and I’ll find someone who’ll be worth loving for.”
“Fine! Fine!” He grabbed his phone. My buddy had a profile of his girl. What a lover boy. “What should I say?”
“Tell her, you already found another woman. Tight than her pussy.”
“I’m serious, Buddy!”
I shook my head as I was smirking. “Just tell her, you don’t love her anymore.”
“Then, where in the world I’ll find a woman?”
“‘There’s so many.”
“Can I date… Zarya?” He looked at her, sleeping on the bed.
“What?” I gazed at her, too. She was deep asleep. I did not want to interrupt her.
“I want to date her.” He dialed her girlfriend’s number. I heard it ringing.
Date Zarya? Does he like her? Exactly, he is. He would not ask me if he did not.
“Shae?”
I settled my eyes at Khal. He was so perfect for any woman. He should suit them. Kind, heartrob, good looking and stick to one lover.
“I don’t love you anymore. I’m sorry. Let’s break up.” He shut the phone call. “Done.” He showed me how happy he was, but his eyes were telling me he was not. “You deal with me with Zarya.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
I smirked. “If she agrees… Her life doesn’t depend on me. We’re just… friends.” Or should I say we are bedmates? That was more accurate than friends.
“Let us see.” Khal tapped my shoulder.
I gazed at his back for so long. I felt my crotch was itching again, wanting to f*ck somebody. Somebody who had a hole.
“Are you going out?” I went inside. Khal was now sitting on the couch, watching TV. “Nope.”
“Look for Zarya. I’m going out.”
He just nodded. I gazed at Zarya. Her chest was moving up and down, meaning she was in the deep of her sleep. I did not know why it was hard for me to go out form this room. Hard to leave her, but I needed dome fresh air. I was not the kind of man who would be on the gurl’s side for so long.
“Come on, Girl! Just for fun!”
“Don’t you dare touch me!”
My attention was grabbed by the woman who was shouting to the men. That was the voice of Kastrid. I thought she went out with Froy? Where is he?
“Hey, Fuckers!” My middle finger saluted them. It was three men who were harassing Kastrid.
“Who are you!”
“You’ll die if you know.” In just a snap of a hand, my feet flew on their faces. I uppercut the other one. Hit on the chin using my closed fist and kicked on the cheek. I made sure their faces would be ruined to the point that no women would look after them. Actually, they were good-looking men who I guess, came from a wealthy family. In my world. It could be a high-born people.
I dd the hit on the waist; ribs cracked. I punched them on the chest; bones were broken. I was about to twist his neck when I realized they should not be killed. Everyone was looking at me with fear in their eyes.
“Hali!” Froy rushed towards me. He held my arm took Kastrid and ran away. He brought us away from the scene.
“Are you out of your mind! They’re a child of politicians, rich Payoneer, and a high-class assassin! You will be killed!” Froy was screaming at me when we went back to the room where we were staying in.
“What’s going on?” Zarya and Khal’s conversation was interrupted.
“I’m no interest!” I dropped my butt on the bed. “They’re harassing Kastrid. You should be there with her. Why did you leave her?”
“Motherfucker, Hali! It’s a matter of death and life! If they find out you beat their children. One day, I’ll see your body floating in the rivers, chopped and skinned!”
I shook my head as Froy’s mouth was being a pain in my ear. I now understand what was the feeling of being screamed at by someone.
“No worries about Hali. He can handle himself.” Zarya butted in the conversation.
“What do you know about him? Skills are not enough to fight battalions, heartless people!” Froy was being frustrated. He went to Khal and sat beside him.
“Who said Hali will fight them?” Zarya’s pale lips were visible. “Just enjoy the Light House. If something bad happens, the water is in our back.” She walked towards the closet, grabbed her swimwear and robe. “Do you believe in werewolves?”
“Zarya!” Kastrid shouted at her to stop her. Maybe it was the right time for my friends t know who I was? Or maybe in another day? No courage at all.
“I believed.” I was shocked when I heard Khal’s talk. He gazed at me as if he knew something. “I saw someone at the backyard’s shifting…”
Fucker, I have no escape. He got me.
But why did he not tell our friends?
