His lips were like Summer rain, pouring over me as if they had the power to take away and give back life. His kiss was the black hole pulling me in until all gravity was lost under his touch...
As we parted, he grabbed me by my hand and took me to a corner.
Carsten: I'm sorry. I was such stupid.
me: It's okay.
Carsten: No, it's not. I bullied you. I bullied the one I love.
me: But now you have realized your mistake. It's okay.
Carsten: I love you.
me: But I don't. ( I giggled)
Carsten: Huh, give me my kiss back. ( making a sad face)
me: I love you too, Mr Carsten. ( I laughed)
Carsten: I wanted to tell you something. This was all planned by Anna.
me: This?
Carsten: Yeah. Let me explain it to you. She had a private meeting with Jason and told him to drag his accidental kiss incident. She knew that you would lie to prevent losing me. So she said Jason to tell that it wasn't accidental instead an intended one. And Jason did the exact thing which resulted in a huge gap between us and all those problems.
me: Really? That bitch. But how did you know?
Carsten: You know Jason isn't all that bad. He regretted his actions and told me the truth. Anna and Jason had a deal.
me: A deal?
Carsten: Yeah, if he does that, then it will result in our break-up. Anna will console me and make me fall in love with her while Jason will do the same to you.
me: Such a bitch.
Carsten: Honestly, Jason is a nice guy with the worst friend circle and even Seb made me understand.
me: What did he tell now?
Carsten: Haha, he was a complete big brother at that moment. He was like " Carsten, this is bad. You know she is the only one for you. Why are you doing this to her? She doesn't deserve this. The only thing she deserves is you and your love."
me: I know. He is the best.
Carsten: What?
me: Brother... Why don't you let me finish my sentences? Stupid boy. (I chuckled)
Carsten: Smart. (he winked)
We were giggling and laughing when a sudden crashing sound took our attention. When we turned our heads to see who it is, we saw a weak figure of Reece leaning towards the pillar and clapping. And that crashing sound was from the beer bottle he held which he smashed. Probably to gain our attention.
me: W-what?
Reece: Well played Miss Asteria Brown. ( his words sounded slurry for he was drunk)
me: What did I do?
Reece: What did you do? Stop being silly, you stupid girl.
Carsten: Hey!! Watch your tongue, mister.
me: Calm down, Carsten. Let him speak. (I whispered but it was loud enough to be heard by Reece)
Reece: Yeah let me speak. When this guy bullied you, the one you are in love with, I was there to support you. You came closer to me. At that time, I thought it was natural but no. I was wrong. It was all well planned and intended. You wrecked me and now you are asking what did you do? All you wanted was attention. When he left you, you used me because you wanted to be loved but then when he came back you left me all alone in that huge crowd.
me ( with mixed emotions of anger and disappointment): First of all, I never said I loved you. I like you as a friend and always be grateful to you for being with me during my worst times. Second, I never asked you for your help. You yourself came forward to help me. So think before you speak. I can never hurt someone. I never expected this from you, Reece. Even now, I can't imagine I'm hearing these words from you. Probably, because you are drunk. Get some sleep and talk to me tomorrow. I still like you and want to be your friend forever.
Reece: I can't look up to you as a friend for I love you. And I will always be loving you. I don't care if you have a boyfriend or if you hate or like me ( rolling his eyes on Carsten). The only thing I care about is, I was, I am and I will be loving you for the rest of my life.
I needed time to process all these. Reece was indeed in love with me. Before leaving he just gave me tight hug, a friendly one. I smiled back.
Reece: And yeah, you look perfect tonight.
Carsten: Yeah whatever, she is mine. ( He tightened his grip on my waist)
Reece shook his head in annoyance and left the spot. And all I could do was laugh at Carsten's cuteness.
The rest of the night was just amazing. And I was happy, not just because Carsten was back but also for the reason that Sophia had a boyfriend now. Not gonna lie, like Sophia, he was cute and immature. Both of them really looked adorable. Even Jason was with a girl, probably his new girlfriend and she was gorgeous. All of us enjoyed the party a lot and we were gonna spend our night in Sophia's home because there was no one at her home. Her mom had left for her granny's place after dropping her at the parlour. Everything got even more exciting as we reached her place.
