"What do you think you are doing?"
George glared at his friend who was staring at the back of Mia who walked into the restroom with Bailey. Escort turned around and faced his friend who was glaring at him. "Helping the young beautiful woman who is in trouble"
He blurted out with a stone face. George gritted his teeth as he clenched fists in anger. "She is my wife, we were just talking. I wasn't making trouble" Escort chuckled in mocking way. "You are wrong, she is not your wife. It is ex-wife now" People listened and watched the drama.
Dean finally noticed the silent fight, he looked around to find Mia Grace but he could not find her. He helplessly walked into the silent fight of two men even though he did not want to, he still must stop them since it was his birthday party.
At the time, Bailey walked out of the toilet. She saw the two men bickering like immature old men. Bailey rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Mia is more important.." she walked away from the two quickly, not caring about those immature men, she needed to go get her blazer for Mia.
"Shut up, it is none of your business. I can do whatever I want" George's face was showing anger obviously. If glares were daggers, Escort would have died at the place. "Don't talk like you own her, George. She is a single woman now"
"Don't test my patience, Escort. Stop talking like she is your girlfriend" George furiously spoke, making the people stared at them in silence. "Weren't you the one who told me to take her? So why care now?" Escort words made people eyes widened in disbelief.
"Hey, Stop!"
Dean walked towards the two who were about to kill each other just because of a woman. "You two are ruining my birthday party. Go kill each other at somewhere!" Roman quickly ran to his brother who was scolding the two men furiously.
"You! Go away from Mia Grace. I know that you are just playing with her heart. Everyone knows the fact that you are a hoe" George sneered. He did not even care what Dean was talking while people stared in fear. The friendship between the two friends had broken into pieces because of a single woman.
"Yes! I admit that I am a hoe but you! You don't deserve Mia! Can't you see that you broke her heart once! And you are so full of yourself, huh? You should lower your pride first if you want Mia to beg your love again!" Escort shouted to make sure George heard his words clearly.
"You hoe!" George raised his right hand and punched his friend's face really hard without caring others anymore. Roman and Dean's eyes widened as they quickly held the two back from killing each other. "Stop you two! Don't ruin my brother's party!"
Roman shouted as he held back Escort who was throwing hands into the air. "You better stop right now, Mister George Seith!" Dean held back George's arms tightly. "Escort Greyson, you wait and watch me taking her back!" "Don't make me laugh! She would never accept you again!"
"Shut up! I will make sure to take her love back!" George shouted while he was ready to kill his own friend. "How can you tell that while you broke her heart and ignored her endlessly!! She will fall for me instead!" Escort sneered with a smirk. "You!!" Dean held back George with all of his strength but failed.
"Come! You deserve the punch for hurting Mia!" Escort shouted as he shoved away the Roman's tightened grip from his arms. The two friends successfully shoved away the grips. Roman and Dean's eyes widened at the sight of two friends punching each other on the floor.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
A young woman's voice finally stopped the two men who were punching at each other in front of many people. Everyone turned their heads at the young woman with blazer wrapped around her waist. Her unbothered, pure eyes were replaced with burning flames.
Two men stood up in hurry. Mia looked at Escort's face with glares but worries filled her eyes quickly when she noticed the blood at the corner of man's lips. "What the heck are you two doing?!" Mia ran towards Escort, not even sparing a glance at George who was waiting her to hug him in worries.
She stared at Escort's face with a frown then she looked up at Roman, asking what happened silently. "Mia Grace" George called his ex-wife. Mia sighed tiredly, she was so done with the main characters. "What?" she faced her ex-husband with a stone face.
Her face held no expression. "I will accept you as my wife if you want me to" he talked as his eyes held no emotions. "HAHAHAHA" suddenly Escort laughed out loud, knowing the fact that Mia would never go back to George Seith.
"Don't ever talk about that again, Mister George Seith. My feelings for you are dead" Mia grabbed Escort's arm, making Roman stepped back. "Let's go, Escort" Mia's words made Escort's lips curved into a sweet smile. "Thank you.." he whispered with a grin.
"I am sorry for the mess, Dean. I will meet you later. Happy Birthday by the way" Mia apologized and walked out of the party with Escort while she grabbed the man's arm tightly, not caring people's stares and judges. "I am sorry.." Escort lowered his head with a sad face.
"What are you apologizing for?" the woman frowned.
"For-"
"You should apologize to Dean actually"
Escort nodded in understatement. "Why did you two fight shamelessly?" Mia asked curiously. "Because I wanted to show him that he's a jerk" Escort answered seriously. Mia suddenly chuckled. "He deserves it. But still you got hurt because of me"
Mia spoke as they two stepped into the elevator."No! Don't ever say like that. Don't blame on yourself" "I am not though. I am just telling the truth and saying that aren't you afraid of people's judges" Escort chuckled at the attitude of young woman.
"Nah, Escort Greyson is not the type of caring others except you" Mia furrowed her brows at the sight of Escort smiling sweetly at her. "How can you be so flirty with your swollen face.." Mia rolled her eyes. "No matter if my face is swollen or not, I am still handsome enough to make your heart beat faster"
Escort winked at the young woman shamelessly. Mia rolled her eyes in annoyance, staring at their reflections in the elevator mirror with lazy eyes."Pff- what a nonsense" she murmured as glanced at the man beside her who was smiling sweetly at her.
"By the way, are you ok with that?"
The question made Escort furrowed his brows in confusion. "I don't understand, young lady. You should ask fully" Escort raised his eyebrow. "I broke the friendship between you and George Seith" Mia helplessly sighed. "Come on, stop spouting nonsense"
"I am serious, Escort" Mia's stone face made Escort gulped. Mia was afraid of darkened future. Now she changed the novel plot, she made two friends fought while they shouldn't. She ruined Dean Silas's birthday party, the main important part of novel.
She could not say what would happen in the future anymore. It finally became the darkness for her. She had to walk without knowing anything. What if death came to meet her? She was scared, afraid of dying again. "It is fine if you stay with me"
Mia rolled her eyes in annoyance. That flirty man would not give her a chance to worry about future, he just interrupted her thoughts with his flirty words. "So you are not ok if I leave you?" Mia raised her eyebrow, teasing the man. "Then are you going back to him? Is that what you meant?"
"Don't be foolish, Escort. Why would I go back to that jerk? I deserve better obviously" Mia confidently said. "I agree!" Escort whopped. "Are you ok by the way?" He asked with wrinkled eyebrows, showing worries. "What do you mean? I am ok! Very very fine"
They two stepped out of the elevator while walking side to side, not caring people stares on them. "Umm I mean... Your.... menstruation thing" Escort looked at the young woman. Mia's face reddened in embarrassment. "I want to know how you noticed it.. "
Mia asked under her breath.
"Umm I did not mean to look but you was covering that part so obviously" Escort fake coughed to make sure the young woman was not embarrassed about her period. "Well, I was really surprised when you took off your blazer and covered me even though you knew the fact that it will get dirty"
"Did your heart skip a beat?"
Mia side glared at the man with 'are you kidding me' face. She lied to to herself and Escort. She believed that her heart skipped a beat in embarrassment, not because Escort made her heart tickled. "That's sad. You are pretty tough.." Escort sighed tiredly.
"Mia!" Bailey ran towards her friend with sweats on her face. "What in the world happened?" She frowned at the sight of Mia grabbing Escort's arm tightly. "Oh!" Mia quickly took back her hand, she finally realized why people were staring at them before.
She squeezed her eyes in embarrassment. Escort's lips curved up into a smirk. Ofc, he already noticed that the young woman was holding his arm tightly with worries. He just did not remind her about that because he was enjoying it. "I got the blazer by the way" Bailey interrupted the two.
"You can just take this blazer" Escort smiled at the young woman. "No, it is fine. I want to give it back right now but it got dirtied with my blood so I will wash this by myself as an apology and give you back after" Mia apologized with a small smile. Bailey frowned at the sight of Escort's smirk.
"This man is weird.." she whispered to her friend. Mia nodded in agreement and held back her laugh. "Thank you for tonight, I will meet you later" Mia let out a small smile. "What about my wounds? I thought you were going to give treatment" Escort asked with innocent eyes.
Bailey's inner eyebrows lifted along with her upper lips in disgust. "What are you? A five years old kid? Treat those by yourself, you tricky man" Mia giggled at her friend's harsh words. Bailey's words made Escort jaw dropped and lost words. He did not know what to reply.
"You heard her, Escort. Later!"
Mia waved her hand at the man with a grin then she walked out of the hotel with her friend. Escort was smiling like a fool, he was happy to see the young woman who was distancing herself away from him, started to call him by his name like a friend, smiled at him warmly.
"This is a good start"
He cheered himself and left the hotel with a grin, completely forgot about the fight with George Seith for a moment. He believed that Mia started to fall for him and if he continued to pursue her, he was going to get a chance to see her begging for his love.
