Saturday came , and lately i have been in the best of mood since my plans for the auction went well , i felt accepted into the high society and everyone was looking forward to working with the Hugo Holdings .
We arrived at star crest fifteen minutes earlier, Kir sure did pick a fine place it was the right place for both casual and business meeting, ours wasn't business at all but we made it so ,
I wanted to meet Lia and she wouldn't have come alone , so more like a double date .
Sitted there in our booth and I began thinking what i would tell Lia.
"Hey man did something happen with this Lia girl".
Asked Kir his body turned halfway towards me ,
"Guilt", i replied plainly and adjusted my tie, then explained about that night.
" Is this why you didn't tell me? __listen man i am your best friend I'll always be on your side ... except when you still my chic" . He slightly smiled at me and patted my shoulder .
" i was just waiting for the news to state i raped an epileptic girl."
" that wasn't rape , you didn't know if she is traumatized__ and one should thank you for saving her life."
" i just want her to tell me what she really wants."
I replied staring at the dinning table.
" money?".
I turned to Kir.
"That's the thing__i just feel money isn't "
I noticed from the day i met her, she seems to come from a prestigious family i never knew which though, but i was sure using money for her silence wasn't the best option to use.
The door to the booth opened and we stood as Emma stepped in my eyes remained fixed at the door to see who will step in next .
Lia stepped in, Kir was already catching up with Emma , Lia still nervous as always except when drunk.
" Lia".i called clearing my throat for her to notice my direction , she turned , and our eyes locked she gave me a weakly smile which was obviously fake her lips had a deep red lipstick she had fair or no makeup her short hair neatly brushed still porcelain. She looked beautiful but I wasn't going to complement .
"Have a seat " ushered Kir.
We ordered our dinner Lia went for sea food , i only paid attention to her, didn't bother about Kir or Emma's choice. I like this place because of it's side dishes our table was flooding with food, and eating is just my favorite part of the day apart from late night sex .
Kir began complementing Lia's paintings of how overwhelming they were, they just stirred a certain feeling in a person, and she kept smiling back at him, I stole glance but mainly consumed my food quietly.
Am that kind of person who talks when i feel like it , I don't do it to please someone, and Kir knows that better that's why he keeps the conversation going.
For sometime now it was silent, I noticed kir and Emma were missing , they might have excused us , 'this trick' I thought . When i looked at Lia her head was hanging low looking at the now empty table.
"Th_they went to get desserts", she replied and stole a glance .
It was quiet again .
" about that night__".
" i am so so sorry if I caused you any trouble ... I rarely remember what i do when i get an episode... am really sorry, the auction I didn't know how to face you ."
She blurted out a revelation I wasn't expecting .
'She doesn't remember'. I looked at her her eyes still fixed on me waiting for my answer.
" well you weren't trouble at all__" i took out a medicine bottle from my pocket , "my friend is a doctor, he checked you that night, he gave me your prescription " .
" thankyou...how did you know__ like what to do ".
She asked as she kept the medication in her purse,
I wasn't going to tell her that I freaked out and called my womanizing friend.
" i gave you two pills __"
"Ooh!__ wait a minute i was drunk and you gave me medicine ".
"Yea". I replied sternly
" I could have fuckin died". She shouted ,
Never thought it's this easy to bring out her claws, 'did she just curse' .
" but you didn't ". I replied deep and fixed my gaze on her.
I could hear her murmuring insults as she looked down ,
Kir and Emma came back in they were talking about something , I didn't hear what but it sounded funny since they had beaming faces.
" Jeen i wanna go home" Lia stood picking her purse.
"Jeen?" Asked Kir.
" ooh"Emma signed relived by Kir's question trying to change Lia's burst out.
" it's just a nickname _got it back in high school ".
Replied Emma
I went for Lia's hand " so you guys have been friends since high school " .
I asked in the friendliest way possible directing the question to Lia as I gesture her to sit down .
She rolled her eyes and sat like a bag , she was making it obvious that she was bored .
" yes!"
Said Emma with giggles as she took her seat .
"We've been friends ever since , right!"
"Why are you even answering him " . Scorned Lia ,
" if you are so bored I could drive you home Ms.Lia"
"Noo!" She shouted at me then cupped her mouth .
" never knew i'll be condemned to give you a ride " i smirked at her teasingly.
