Chapter Fourteen

May’s POV

Nicholas was looking at me while locking lips with the girl that he was with. I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior. I still don’t get why he had to come to the party, maybe he wants me to realize that when he asked to go with me, he didn’t necessarily mean to go with me to the party.

But still, I didn’t care about whatever he meant.

To hell with him by the way.

Declan came closer to me, holding his face with his hand and when I turned to look at him, I quickly forget all about the person I was glaring at and started laughing all over again.

“It isn’t funny, May”

“Of course, it is, DL” I replied and start to laugh all over again.

“I hate you sometimes”

“Well, the feeling is mutual. You should’ve known that not all girls are the same. You shouldn’t have tried that, Pervert” I cautioned him “I know! But I wasn’t trying to feel her up. All I wanted to know was cover up her shame”

“By pressing her ass, right?” I snickered “No, May. Trust me. The back of her dress was torn a bit, right below her zipper and I saw a guy staring. All I wanted to do was to just cover it up and then tell her, so she’ll go to the bathroom and sort it out. But she got the wrong reason”

I smiled bitterly at him. I’ve been getting Declan wrong since I met him and I think as a friend, I should do better.

“You cheeky baby. Sorry, I got you wrong” I said, cupping his cheeks in my hand and that got him to smile.

“I don’t want you to see me as a bad person May”

I was about to reply when the girl who slapped him walked past us but not without glaring at Declan and with her back turned to us later, I saw the torn part that Declan had mentioned. So, to save the face of my dear friend and to make her feel sorry for slapping him, I walked towards her.

She was surrounded by her little group of friends, so I tapped her on the shoulder.

“Excuse me, little miss petty” I heard some hailing in my head immediately after I said that.

“Who are you? Oh, are you the pervert’s friend or maybe his cousin?” She said, earning her friend’s laughter.

“Is that supposed to be funny? Cos I’m not laughing, not particularly when you sound as if you have a pipe down your throat” I said, watching the smile replaced with a frown.

“What the fuck is your problem?” She asked, her voice louder than before.

“I should be asking you the same thing. You slapped a guy without actually knowing the reason why he did what he did, and you still feel so good about embarrassing him” I called her out.

“He was about to press my ass, Miss. I don’t know if you know are in this thing together but get your fucking ugly face away from this place before I scratch it off”

What!

“Oh my god! I’m so scared”

Acting like I was really frightened by her threats before I started laughing was the best thing I’d done the whole week.

“Let me give you a little demo with my fucking ugly face. Why don’t you try and get one of your, fucking beautiful friends to check out the torn back of your dress that my friend was trying to help your pathetic ass cover up to make you slap him so hard before I fucking tear the whole dress up myself” I folded my hands against my chest ready to unleash the bitchy part of me.

One of her friends walked around her and gasped once she saw it. She quickly covered the girl with her body. But, not taking any of that nonsense anymore, I pushed the other girl away, placed my hands on both sides of the dress, making the girl wonder about what was going on as I pulled ready to tear the dress off.

I knew I wasn’t going to tear the dress like I wished to, but I needed the girl to feel the pressure, if not she wouldn’t have regretted what she did.

“What the hell are you doing, May?” Declan asked.

“Back off, DL. You just don’t want to question me too much. It might get more serious and I might hurt her” I threatened in a really loud voice. Declan a little bit surprised at my attitude, gently walked away, leaving a little distance between us.

“What are you doing to me?” The girl asked “What does it look like? Tearing the dress off for you to know what you did was bad”

The whole crowd at the party were all looking at the scene that I’d put up. Declan looked amused and a smile was plastered on his lips as he looked on, proud of his baby girl.

The girl started screaming, getting really scared and uncomfortable about the disgrace that she would be facing anything soon. At that point, I got satisfied with my actions, I dropped her dress, adjusted it properly for her, and smiled before walking away.

“Remind me not to offend you, May,” Declan said behind me.

“I wouldn’t do that to you, DL. You’re special” I picked up my clutch bag from one of the tables and decided it was time to leave.

Declan walked after me after he confessed that he was tired of the party as well and needed to leave.

I was about to open the door when a hand suddenly stopped me. I turned to see Nicholas staring at me, his hand tightly holding mine, stopping me from opening the door.

“Long time no see, Baby doll”

My lips quivered at his words. I knew the little show I’d put up at the party was one of the many things that we’d done back then.

Maybe it surged his memory or maybe it was as a result of the alcohol he had because I could perceive it from him. He didn’t look straight, and he staggered a little bit every second.

In one sentence, he was drunk off his ass.

“What’s going on, Aslam?” I asked “I missed you” He confessed.

I knew he wouldn’t remember what had happened the next day, so I decided to go on with the flow.

“I missed you too, even though I hate you so much for everything you did”

His lips close to mine, he repeated, “I missed you too”

His lips landed on mine, making butterflies dance in my belly. As I closed my eyes, I saw fireworks. The last time I felt that way was with him as well and that was seven years ago.

His hands moved into my hair, pressing my lips more into his own. His tongue met with mine and I had to control my breathing.

I needed him like air but no I wouldn’t do that.

He removed his lips at the same time I was ready to let go.

“I’ll see you at home,” he said, and I nodded.

“Call a cab. Don’t drive yourself like this”

“I already did”

He kissed my forehead and walked away.

“Whew! That was live porn right in front of me” Declan declared.
