"Who are you talking to?" He spoke with a smirk on his lips.
All this time, I had no one to talk to because there was no one in the room? And looked at this jerk, standing in front of me wearing his innocent look.
"It was you, jerk!" I bravely said to him. The weeping of his mouth did not escape me.
"Wooh!" his bandmates exclaimed to what I said except for Jeff and Rexon.
I raised an eyebrow at him and waited for him to say something, but Skye intervened with us.
"Easy, guys!" he said.
"We're actually planning a movie marathon tonight, wanna join us?" Jeff asked me. He stepped closer to me and barely touch my shoulder.
"N-no, I need to go home." I looked straight into Rexon's eyes that suddenly lost the smirk on his lips.
"We brought pizza and snacks. We also delivered dinner, why don't you eat first?" Jeff's hands reached my shoulder and slowly caressed my bare skin.
"Dude, get off your hands of her." Rexon thundered voice filled in the house.
A heavy silence settled over them. No one spoke. I felt Jeff's grip on my shoulder loosen, so I bowed slightly.
"She's my P.A, remember the rules?" he said emphatically.
That's when my gaze rose to him. His cold dark eyes threatened Jeff.
"What's wrong with you?" Skye punched him on the shoulder.
"I just don't want us to have a problem, you know what I mean," Rexon said to Jeff, then measured his gaze before raising an eyebrow slightly.
"I know. We all know the rules. Thanks for reminding me," Jeff replied immediately. Then he laughed next to me as if nothing happened.
It was good that the food they ordered arrived early. Even though I didn't want to, I stayed for a while.
I tried to avoid his gaze. I also ignored what he was doing. I was sitting uncomfortably in my chair, trying to swallow the food in my mouth.
I just kept quiet while each of them had a story to tell. Some of the women that accompanied them-whose names I don't recall-were now sitting close to Jeff and Skye. Even Rexon was seated close to a woman who was also eating pizza. I felt painfully out of place, like a pepperoni that had mistakenly made its way onto a vegetarian pizza.
"Rex, are we invited to your graduation party?" My attention was drawn to the woman who spoke.
"Of course, Bonnie." Rexon laughed, a deep chuckle that lifting the spirit of the room. So Bonnie is her name?
"Great, you're so sweet," she seductively said. She even slightly tapped Rexon's shoulder, which only responded with a smile.
"Dude, how about Dawzon? Can't you get in touch? How many weeks has he been gone?" Skye asked him while eating his pizza.
"He texted me," he replied sparingly. He looked down for a moment, pouring himself a drink and bringing the alcohol to his lips.
I silently watched what he was doing while not knowing that my heart was beating so fast.
"What did he say? Where is he? How about Lara? Is she okay?" Skye asked so many questions.
He smiled cruelly and drank up the glass of wine before he speaks.
"He just said hello, he didn't say where he was." Then he dropped the glass of wine on the table.
"Dude, I thought they loved each other? Why did he left his wife?" Jeff replied with anger.
"If you are the first to admit, Lara and you would end up together. It's obvious that you loved each other very much back then," said Zach.
"He's right, dude! I know her well. She was madly in love with you. I don't know why she agreed to marry Dawzon." I glanced at Clara.
I looked at him from the corner of my eyes. His eyes were narrowed and cold; behind them was something more intense than usual.
"Guys, there's no reason to bring back the past. The woman is already married, we can't do anything about it," Skye muttered.
"Annulment is a trend now," Jeff stated and nodded.
"Shut up, dude!" Rexon stopped him. He clenched his two-day-stubble jaw and threw him a devil looked.
"Cool down, babe. I have a better idea so you won't be sad." A woman named Bonnie stroked his cheek after he kissed him and then whispered in his ear.
"You're a bad idea, but I like bad ideas," he answered back. I couldn't help but gasp at the next scene.
They kissed each other passionately. I swallowed the dirty scene, but my eyes keep on watching.
I feel like I was slowly drowning in my seat, and my stomach aches big time.
I bowed down my head and crossed my two legs under the table. Damn! Why do I need to witness this hurtful movie?
"Let me taste you. We can fuck later," Rexon whispered and turned his head to me. There, I bit my lips hard. I didn't think I would be affected by what he said to Bonnie.
"Ah, excuse me. I'll just call my dad." I quickly got up and went to the veranda to breathe. I even heard Bonnie's soft laugh from the inside.
I held on tightly to the railings and drew strength from there. I looked up at the sky. The moon already took place. I like the night and the moon. It can easily hide in a dark dish. But why can't I hide this pain? Why was it growing and running faster to my nerves?
I shook my head. "Damn that bastard!" I said before snatching the cellphone from my pocket and called Dad.
"Dad, maybe I'll be late home tonight. I'm sorry," I said softly.
"It's okay. Your Aunt Melva and Andrew are here. It's good that they visited me." He was obviously happy.
"Great, Dad. Please don't forget to take your medicine before you go to bed," I ordered.
"E, don't worry about me, you're the one I'm worried about. Be careful when you get home."
"Yes, Dad." Then I said goodbye to him and went back to leaning against the wall. I was there for a few more minutes and forced myself to calm down, but I straightened up when I felt the sliding door opened.
