Chapter 4 Drama

I only remember, always remembered that day behind that tall tree behind my house on my twelfth birthday when he'd kissed me. He was just fourteen. And I blamed myself, I was never taking that chance again. Nah

" No, don't try to change the topic Elle "

" I'm not " I said, walking past him back into the living room " I'm being serious "

" Well, I'm sorry to announce to you that whatever you're thinking about Lauren and I can never happen. Heavens she's just my assistant "

" Awwww, too bad. I have a lot of ideas "

I said casually, not betraying anything

" Look " he said grabbing me by the shoulders once more " Don't you ever go fuck unprotected okay? it does not make any sense. What were you even thinking? "

A new wave of light entered my eyes out if nowhere and I lifted my hand up to shield it

" Hey hey "

I shrugged him off me and hugged Aria. We don't usually hug. Aria's typically a goat, though I loved her even though she was many a times inconsiderate

" Ah, you stink "

" Thanks. " I said with a smug smile in my face.

" Where were you last night?! I called your phone but someone - some guy picked it and told me you were sleeping. I was like what?! So you have a boyfriend now and I don't even know about it? "

I rolled my eyes but before I could open my mouth to talk, Remi spoke up for me. I didn't ask him to but he always had a knack for subject like that, one that involved me

" She had a one night stand "

As soon as he said that, it seemed to me that Aria's ear was growing wide as a grin appeared on her face and her eyes beamed. she rushed at me to give me a big fat hug. I rolled my eyes.

I was still a virgin. Aria knew how obsessed I was with Remi. Not the right word, but she knew I was in love with him and had always been telling me to get over him since he wasn't interested in me. She thinks I have overgrown that feeling.

" Yay. I'm so happy for you! My last born is finally a woman. That's great, so tell me everything about it "

She emphasized on the word ' everything ' still grinning from ear to ear as she pulled me towards the living room

" There's nothing much really, she just got drunk and fucked some with some dude she met at the bar. Without protection "

I would have but him in the face but u didn't. Instead I casted him a glance from which he looked away from

" What? "

" Water. And Remi I think it's high time j warn you to shut the fuck up and mind your business. My sex life is none of your damned business okay. So you have no damn right to start chirping to everybody about it. "

I said. It took a lot of courage to get that out but my running mouth also helped. " Keep your mouth and ears from whatever concerns me "

Aria got in-between us. No I wasn't ready for a verbal fight. I had no idea where that courage came from. I had just wanted to casually tell him to shut up and mind his business. But I guess it had come out more harshly than I originally intended it to be.

Maybe it was the frustration that he could have been the guy from last night.

" Guys stop. "

I watched as his grey eyes turned flinty, hard and narrowed into thin slits. My thundering heart did not stop but instead increased in intensity. I knew he wasn't going to hit me.

But I didn't want to trust him anymore. I wanted to hate him for good. He opened his mouth to talk but shut it immediately. I noticed how much energy it took for him to do so, from his hardened jaw to his fisted hands.

He just silently left, banging the door close in his way out. My dad was going to be vexed if he was there or he learnt that the door had spoilt. I wanted to yell and tell him that I guess he wasn't expecting me to talk that way. I knew I was too harsh but damn him

" Elle, what has come over you? "

" Nothing. He can go and die for all I care. "

I said. It was a lie I'd never be able to see through another day if he did diem My stupid heart even though I was forcing it not to care, cared greatly

" stop, look, I understand your frustration and all. " Yes, she did " But haven't you learnt nothing? The act he displayed there moments ago was that of jealousy. He was fucking jealous "

* I don't care. "

" Well, you have to go apologize. but I can identify jealously when I see it. "

" I'm not a kid okay? I owe Remi no apology whatsoever. let me tell you who he is, an asshole okay and I don't care whatever attitude he's displaying

That was another lie. Ten hours later and I was standing in the elevator, my hands fidgety. We've been childhood sweet hearts. I still do love him but he's too blind to realise it and bent on keeping the best friend - friend thing. As per to his secretary

Heavens knew how much we kissed as kids. I had every damn photo my parents could capture. We stopped everything that night. He stopped every thing that night when he'd kissed me on my twelfth birthday. I never asked but I was hurt. It was then he started having girls around him. Yes, hell he was handsome, very so girls loved him.

And when he was sixteen he started fucking with them even all those seniors when they heard about his notorious dick. The thing was even at sixteen he looked more like eighteen or nineteen even

He didn't even seem to even care about how broken hearted I was and would even chase guys off me. Pretending that we were even in a relationship, only then would he kiss me on the check. I only used to end up crying myself to sleep. But now, I had reached the stage where I didn't want to care

But then, I was going to beg. I rolled my eyes, putting my palm against the scanner to identify me. Even the so called just secretary was registered to have access to his house. Wow, what a surprise
