ELORA
I blink and he nods. "Yes, that is what she thinks" he replies with no remorse.
I stare at him angrily but not for long.
Why would the girl he is talking about, think I am his girlfriend? I wonder.
"You do not mean what you said right?"
"Of course, I am"
I blink. "W-what do you mean by that? Why will you mean what you said? How am I your girlfriend" I ask.
He stares at me and sighs. "It's a long story and I do not have the time to explain". I stare at him and he groans. "I do not know where to start talking from". I flick my fingers across his face and he blinks. "What are you doing?"
I scoff. "You had better start explaining now"
"I just told you it's a long story"
"I do not care! I... do... not... care!. I do not care how long the story is. I do not care where you deem fit to start. Just start talking"
"Can you be more...". I glare at him and he sighs. "Fine, I will. I met her when I took a stroll down the street. She lives just a few blocks away from..."
I furrow my brows. "You now take a stroll?"
I had never thought that Orion would leave the house without Ariana. He never does. I sometimes describe him as a leech. He seems inseparable from Ariana.
He scoffs. "You do not expect me to?"
I sigh. Of course, I do not.
"Just go on" I mutter, gesturing to him.
"Like I said before, I met her..."
I wave my hand. "I heard that. You met her during one of your strolls and she stays a few blocks away from ours. I do not care about those details. I want to know how I became your girlfriend"
He sighs. "Well, she was flirting with me and I told her I have a girlfriend. A crazy one. Ari happens to hear about it and she asks Hannah to visit"
"Her name is Hannah?"
He nods. "Yes, it is"
I nod slightly. "So how did I come in?"
"Ari asked her to visit so she can meet with you, as my crazy girlfriend"
I frown. "You and Ariana think I am crazy?"
"Well, I can't say you are not"
I stare at him. "What did you just say?"
He shrugs. "Do we have a deal?"
"We do not have a deal until you explain how crazy I am"
"Elora, acting this way is already showing how crazy you are"
I scoff. "Y-you are the crazy one"
He nods. "I guess I am. Do we now have a deal?"
I move closer to him. "Look, tell your girlfriend not to come to this house or I will..."
"She is not my girlfriend"
"I don't care! I don't care who she is to you. If she comes to this house, I will make her life a living hell"
"And that will only prove how crazy you are. I already told her my girlfriend is crazy"
I scoff. "I am not your girlfriend"
"Well, you will be when she comes"
I point at him. "You're crazy. You are!"
"I told you I am. But you are not any better, you know"
"I am not crazy. You are the one who is". He ignores me and that gets me furious. "Hey! Look at me. I am talking to you. You should look at me when I am talking to you. Answer me! Do not ignore me! Hey! Hey!! Hey!!!"
"What? What do you want me to say?"
"Anything. You can't leave my words hanging"
"I do what I want not what you want"
I frown. What did he just say?
"Fine! If you will only do what you want and not what I want, I will also do what I want and not what you want either". He ignores me but I am not ready to keep quiet. "And so you know, If your girlfriend comes here, I will make sure she..."
"You will not dare"
"Do you want to make a deal and see if I will do that or not"
He scoffs. "I do not have time for that. Do you want to know what I will do to you?" he asks and I furrow my brows. "I will make sure to lock your crazy self upstairs"
"Did you just call me crazy?"
"I never did"
"Yes, you did"
"I did not"
"You did. You called me crazy. You said you are going to lock my crazy self upstairs"
"To stop you from acting stupid. I won't let you..."
"Why do I feel this is not about me? Do you like her? And you feel my presence will drive her away from you?"
He scoffs. "I do not like her"
"I think you do and you fear..."
"Elora, I do not know what you are thinking in that empty head of yours but I do not like Hannah"
"You called my head empty"
"Isn't it empty?"
"Orion, you do not have any right to talk to me like that"
"I have every right to talk the way I want"
"You..." I brush my hair backward. "I should not be having this conversation with you"
"Then you can make use of the door"
I sigh. I can't win against Orion. If I want him to go with me to the nightclub tomorrow, I have to ignore his crazy attitude and pretend to be okay with whatever he says.
After I come back from the club, I will know what to do
"The deal still stands. I don't care who Hannah is and why she needs to come here. Just make sure she doesn't cross my path. If she doesn't I won't mind her"
He nods. "I can assure you she won't. I hope you will keep your promise and not do anything stupid"
I glare at him and he smiles. "I guess we are done here. You can leave"
I walk to the door and turn. "My eyes are on you, Orion". I pointed at him. "It's not over yet," I say before slamming the door after I walked out. I hear him laugh so loudly and that gets me angry. "I will get you back, Orion. I will" I yell.
