Chapter 16
“Are you two just arrived?” Joshua asked when Yuan and I entered my condo. I nodded and they both started talking.
They have been busy with Julia, she is modeling this summer. While Khyla worked a part time job. Kathrene manages their restaurant.
“Twiiiinnnn!” I was surprised when Herleen suddenly entered my room. We call each other twins because of the closeness, but we are not siblings. We’re just friends. We are really close and she likes to call me twins..
“Welcome back!” she said happily. I nodded. And I noticed she was carrying a Cake.
“Let’s go. Let’s eat the Red Ribbon that I bought. It’s just right and you just arrive at home…” she agreed, I smiled and said I’ll just change my clothes before going out.
She went out first and went to the kitchen.
When I came out, Joshua and Yuan were already in the dining area. Yuan has changed clothes.
Yuan and I have already moved in. He also has a condo but he doesn’t use it. He prefers to be with me.
“Let’s go to school. I thought it was one more year. You’d think we’re in our fourth year and the second sem will be soon..” I said while we ate the cake..
“That’s right. Time flies. What do you plan to do after you graduate?” Joshua’s question made me think.
“Hmm. Will probably work…” I said here. He just nodded and ate.
They only stayed at Hershey’s Condo because they missed their friend. They just talked about their experiences when they went to China. Then they had a movie marathon after dark. There the two slept in the guest room. While Hershey and Yuan were side by side in their room.
Miles Point Of View
“Miles..” Miles turned to the one who called him. It’s Raz. Since going on vacation, she spends more time with Raz than her boyfriend. Joshua is very busy. I can’t blame him and he is the successor of their company.
Everyone here at the mall turned around when Raz called me. This one is also very handsome. His charisma is very strong. He is a certified playboy and a womanizer. He is famous for that.
“Oh? What are you doing here?” I asked. Because Joshua often entrusts me to Raz.
“No. I was just wandering around. I just saw you.. Are you going somewhere?” he asked. I shook my head.
I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me so that I could hug him. I almost got hit by the crew who was carrying a lot of luggage, the crew couldn’t see the road because of what he was carrying..
“Fvck. Why didn’t he bring a lot of things and not return the others? He will have an accident if he brings everything.” he said. Her piercings light up in my eyes. As I watched him I felt something strange. Gosh! I’m already crushing on Raz!
My cheeks warmed when he looked at me seriously. He just let go of me noticing the awkward atmosphere.
“I want to go to a bar. Are you with me?” he asked so I nodded. We both left the mall and went to the Bar.
At the bar owned by Joshua’s family.
There are too many people there. Because it’s Saturday. Maybe that’s why the people who go to the bar to hang out want to have fun and just chill.
This is a high exclusive bar so the security stopped us. Raz showed ID. That is also what I did. And we were immediately admitted. Only the rich can set foot in this bar. In my case, we can only afford it. That’s why I just came here.
We met some girls who were all winking and cute at Raz while Raz was walking coolly holding my hand.
We entered an exclusive room. We saw almost all of our high school and college classmates there. This is the second floor. And there are still many people. The bouncer assisted us to a seat. Raz sat there on the sofa with both feet resting on the table. He let go of me and ordered a Jack Daniels and a Martini. I ordered a Tequilla and a Margarita. We drank together.
At first it was fine. Until we both got hit.
“Do I look attractive to you?” he whispered. I was almost tickled by that.
“Of course..” I answered, I was tipsy but I still understood what he was saying. He is now on my side. We enjoy each other’s company. We can agree on many things because we can talk. Just like about our dream and something else.
“If I came before Joshua, would you love me?” he asked, so I was silent. But I also answered.
“Yeah.. It’s not impossible to fall in love with you, Raz..” I admitted to him. So he looked me in the eye. Later. Suddenly someone grabbed him and punched him in the face.
My spirit almost woke up because of that. I can see the anger in Joshua’s eyes. E
He gritted his teeth angrily. I could feel his anger. A punch landed on Raz one blow after another before I could recover.
“STOP! Joshua!” I shouted. At first he was going to punch him again but he couldn’t continue..
Raz couldn’t help but smile. What the?
“Tol, I’ll explain…” Raz said hoarsely.
“You fool! Look! I let you watch my gf. Because I have a lot of trust in you because we’re a team! We’re childhood friends! We’ve been together a lot, I didn’t think you could do this to me! I knew you were a jerk. You’ve been a fuckboy for a long time. But we’re friends! You got me. You didn’t let my girlfriend go! Fuck it!” he angrily shouted. His vein almost came out of its neck and senses, Zel and Rj got in between. Rj looked at me disappointed while I saw anger in Zel’s eyes.
I feel small. It’s like a cold water is poured on me. I tried to approach Joshua but he just pushed me away and then he walked out.
Zel followed him. Before Rj followed, he threatened Raz.
“Tol, fix this mess you made. We’ve been together. We’re like brothers. Then it’s just because of the woman. We’ll be separated. Think about it.” the man said before Rj left, he sighed. It’s like being thrown into a pit by the pain of my feelings. Am I wrong?
Why did I immediately like Raz when I loved Joshua?
Everything was quiet inside. I could almost see the mocking eyes of the people and their destructive whispers about me.
“You can see that she’s a slut..” I heard someone say.
“You’re right.. Poor papa Joshua. He loved a bitch..” the other person added so that I almost cried because of what they were saying about me.
Even if I wanted to treat Raz, I couldn’t. Joshua is still mad at me. It hurts so much it’s like I’ve been doused with cold water.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I don’t know what to do. So I just left the place because I was too embarrassed. What happened was embarrassing. Why am I so close to Raz? I let him hold my arm and hold my hand. Sh*t!
