Chapter 18
Anya immediately hurriedly arranged the papers she had searched for earlier. She checked the time again and it has been thirty minutes since Carla called. She was already in a hurry to finish her errands quickly.
“What are you doing? Why in such a hurry, baby?”Andrius asked. Anya did not realize that he was so close to her. She looked up to see him carefully. He squeaked but obviously suppressed his hidden grin.
“Can I undertime? There’s an emergency that happened. Can I just finish it all tomorrow?”she said hesitantly while looking at the piles of papers on the table.
Andrius nodded at Anya. Anya thought he would leave but he remained standing in front of her desk. Anya did not ask and continued working on the rest of the files.
“Your cleavage is showing, baby.”
“What?!”
Anya was shocked and blushed after, while Andrius chuckled sexilly. He just loved Anya everytime he teased her.
“They are all mine, baby. Next time, wear your old clothes. They were better,”he said while winking at her.
“You’re really rude!”Anya shuddered at the same time she slapped Andrius’arm. She was disgusted. She wasted her time to make herself beautiful but Andrius prefered her old fashion.
She sighed and stood up. She was about to walk away when he turned her forward.
Andrius grinned as he bit his lip then said,”Can I have my goodbye, kiss? I’m tired baby, I need an energizer.”
Instead of being annoyed with him, Anya could not help but laugh softly. Andrius looked so cute in his pouty lips. Her anxiety suddenly disappeared because of him. She smiled with a mischievous thought. She approached him slightly and embraced him tight. She made sure that his chest was attached to her body. Andrius sighed and blushed at what Anya had done. He looked up to see her and saw her grinning.
“I have a law. If you want us to stay longer, don’t lap my lips,”she said, teasing. She stretched out just to reach his ear and whispered,”You’re a tease, Mr. Monterio.”
Anya immediately walked away from Andrius and walked quickly, carrying her handbag. When she was sure that her distance from him was a bit far, she turned around with a flying kiss.
“Such a naughty girl. You’re gonna pay for it, baby,”Anya heard him say before the elevator opened and she went inside. She gasped. She was in deep trouble, she knew.
In a few moments she was making her way to Carla’s condo. She sighed again. She could not count how many were there that day. As far as she knew, this day was not for her. She immediately went to Carla’s suite and rang the doorbell. While waiting, she was nervous. Carla has a suicidal tendency, which was why her parents pampered her well.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Anya kept ringing the doorbell until the door opened. She breathed a sigh of relief because of that but also frowned at the sight of her friend.”What happened to you? You look like a wreck, Carla!”she said and entered the unit. She was the one who voluntarily invited herself because Carla might even shut her down.
Carla just smiled at her and staggered towards the living area ofthe unit. She sat on the carpeted floor and picked up the beer in a can, then spilled it. When she was satisfied, she addressed her and answered.”All men are idiots! You gave your all for them but still lacking!”Carla sobbed.
Anya just watched her friend in everything she does. It was as if her heart was pounding at what she saw. Carla was a happy go lucky type, but now;she was a wreck. She was pitiful to look at. The hair was blown and does not seem to have been washed yet because she still has some make-up on the face. She bowed her head and was obviously drunk.
“What are you? They were just men. I’m sure you can find someone else. You’re beautiful, Carla. So cheer up!”Anya said to Carla. She even raised her voice so that her friend’s sadness would disappear.
She approached Carla and she sat down next to her. She grabbed her head and leaned it on her shoulder. She also patted Carla’s arm to alleviate the sadness she felt.
“I love her, Anya. We’ve been together for two years,”Carla said as she tried to adjust her head to stare at Anya.”Am I so insignificant because even for that long time he did not even love me?”
Carla’s eyes were in pain. It was reflected in her orbs. It swells and darkens at the bottom due to crying. She seemed to be attached to the relationship. And, Anya was also hurting for her. She felt it because she had already gone through what her friend was going through.
‘That man is very stupid.’she told to herself.
Anya shook her head as she stared at Carla. She did not know what she should say to her. She also did not know the man she was referring to. Carla was very secretive to that man.”Maybe he’s not for you, Carla. You can find others too.”
She was still comforting her best friend when handed her a beer. She would not have accepted it but her friend might get upset so she took it. She saw Carla smiled at what she did so it was probably okay for her to get drunk with her.
“Let’s get wasted tonight, Anya. Only you can understand me. You’re like a sister to me. Please, join me now,”Carla said to her and cried again.
Anya was shaken. She wondered if it was right to condemn her for drunkenness, but she knew Carlas was stubborn so she would just let it go. Maybe she needed this for herself.
