Chapter 23 - Jealous

"Oh my my, I had no idea Lucian's cutie was a party goer."

"This is a club Alex."

"Anyway you put it love."

Hermia catches up to them

"Could you two reduce your intimacy, and help find our seats."

"Look, there's an empty seat over there."

"You are fully aware that Cherry's got us a seat we just have to follow the directions." she stops to look in her right direction, in case she might catch a glimpse of Cherry.

"Why exactly do we need to find her, we could just sit somewhere else, somewhere close to the dance floor. What do you think Andrew?"

Alex held Andrew's left arm intimately.

"She has her reason."

"Oh, thanks for having my back."

"But what's the reason."

"I have to protect her."

"From who?"

"Mind your business." she retorted angrily. Hearing his voice was a pain to her, cause Alex never bothered to hide his feminine voice.

"Ain't that her over there."

Andrew and Hermia look in the direction Alex was pointing at, sitting on a comfy sofa was Cherry and a female. They seemed busy chatting.

"Where are the rest?" Cherry asked as soon as the trio settled.

"Lucian's not coming, the two are waiting for the other two." Andrew replied.

"Other two? Whoa! The number is not even, seven males, three females." said the girl sitting beside Cherry.

"Lucian is not coming." Alex said while picking up a glass to give to Andrew.

"Oh, that would be six males, three females, still not even."

Hermia scoffs as she picks up a glass of red wine.

"Count this two out, can't you see they are gay."

"Oh my bad." the girl smiles" I'm Stella by the way."

They all exchange names and from them, they discussed with each other.

" Are you really not gonna come. "

" Hmm. "

" You should be aware Lucian is not a party lover. "said Romeo, while putting off the cigarette in his hand.

" I would rather say he's jealous. "Michael whispered to Oliver.

" Jealous! "Oliver screamed out of shock.

" Mind repeating what you just said. "

If only stare could kill people, then Michael and Oliver should be dead.

" Michael said it, I was just repeating. "

" Whoa! Really, Oliver, I could have said something else but you decided to say jealous, I never said that. "

" Yes, you are right, you could have said something else, but you decided to say jealous, cause you meant it. "

The three of them turned to look at those who just entered. Walking in were Austin and Romeo.

Michael was about to deny what Romeo said, but seems like Lucian was no longer interested in that.

" Now that you two are here, let's get going."

"Get going?" asked Oliver "I thought you said you aren't coming along. Did you change your mind?"

Lucian smiled as he opened the door.

"Why would I say no to spending some time with my friends. Let's get going before they get wasted."

The four of them exchange glances before chuckling.

"Told you he was jealous."

"Thought you denied that earlier."

"Enough with that, may I know who the unlucky fella is?" asked Austin with a grin on his face.

"Why don't you wait and see for yourself."
