Kapitel 10: Chapter 10
He moves his lips away from my ear and smirks at me.
"Is that why you wanted to run me over?" I frown at him.
"Yes. In fact, I should have hit you with my car." He says with a straight face that makes me think he's serious or is he?
"Why are you here?" He asks.
"To buy gas obviously." I say still frowning at him.
"Then why were you standing here waiting for me to come and hit you with my car? Do you think this is Kdrama and that I would rush over to you because we hooked up once?"
Okay. He's an ass. There's no use talking to an asshole. I turn around to walk away; I don't even feel like buying anything again, he has ruined my mood. Just as I start walking away, someone brushes my shoulder and I stagger a little. I turn to see who it is and my already ruined mood becomes worse. Why do I have to meet her here and now of all times?!
"Hi Camille." She smiles at me. Really? She's smiling at me? Does this girl even have any shame?
I don't say anything to her and just before I can continue walking away, she pulls me back.
I turn around and my eyes travel down to her hands holding my wrist. My jaw tightens and she quickly lets go of my hand.
"What do you want?" I ask her.
She moves her hair to her back sassily and smiles at me.
"I didn't expect to see you here. How are you?"
"Really Ava?" I arch a brow at her. Is she being serious right now? She sabotaged our long time friendship and betrayed me and this is what she says?
"Are you still angry about what happened? I thought you would be passed it already and just wish Max and me, a happy marriage? You have always been the nice girl, right?" She grins at me.
Don't cry Camille, don't cry don't cry. I blink hard trying to prevent the tears which are gathering in my eyes from streaming down my cheeks.
She moves closer to me and places her hand over my shoulder. "I know it's not easy to get over something like that so quickly. I hope you heal very soon and move on, okay?"
I look away from her to hide my face because tears are already streaming down my cheeks.
"I won't even be expecting you to be at the reunion so you don't have to force yourself and come, okay?"
How can someone who was my best friend, someone who I shared a lot of happy memories with, say such things to me? I swallow hard and start walking away but then, a hand pulls me back again. Please don't tell me it's her, I really don't have the energy for this right now.
I turn around and see Niklaus staring at me with his ever charming siren eyes. Oh please, scrap that. An asshole like him doesn't deserve such qualities. My eyes travel to his hand holding mine and I blink in confusion.
"You just left like that, babe. Where are you going?" He wraps his hands around my waist pulling me close to his chest. What is he doing? I can see Ava staring at us with confusion in her eyes.
"Huh… huh?"
He pulls my cheeks. "I can't have my girlfriend leaving my sight like that." He smiles at me. Girlfriend? What is he doing? He turns to Ava. "Who is she babe?" He asks before looking at me.
"Um…" I swallow hard. "She's um…"
"Hi…" Ava stretches out her hand to him. "I am Ava." She smiles at him, just the same way she smiled at Max when I first introduced them to each other. She hasn't changed a bit.
"I'm Niklaus, her boyfriend." Niklaus smiles at her. When did he become my boyfriend?
She stares at us in disbelief, "Her boyfriend? You guys are dating?"
That's a question even I don't have the answer to.
"Yes and just to make it clear, she doesn't need to keep mopping over some loser when she has me." Niklaus says with a smile on his face. He… He heard us? Why is he helping me?
"I… I didn't know you already have a boyfriend, Camille." Ava says with her eyes scanning Niklaus. Her eyes fall on his shoes and I see them grow wide and she opens her mouth as if she wants to say something but she doesn't.
"Um, do I have to use a microphone to announce it to the world?" I say gaining a frown from her.
She looks away from me and turns to Niklaus. "So, would you be coming with her to the reunion?" She grins.
Oh no.
Niklaus turns to me with a confused expression and I shake my head abruptly so he will understand that I don't want to go they will make a fool out of me there, so I don't see why I should go.
"Yes, of course. I'll be there with my girlfriend." Niklaus says to her with a smile on his face and I turn to him with wide eyes.
"Oh you will?" Ava asks as if in disbelief and when I turn to her, I see a confused and surprised look on her face. "Alright then I will be expecting you guys." She turns around and quickly walks away.
As soon as she's out of sight, I turn to Niklaus and fold my hands across my chest.
"What do you think you're doing?"
He makes a confused face, "What does it seem like I'm doing? Was it not obvious that I was helping you?"
"I don't remember asking for your help?"
"You didn't refuse either." He points out.
Oh well, he's got a point there.
I heave a sigh, "Then why did you agree to a reunion you know nothing about?"
"I don't like helping half way." He leans closer and whispers into my ear. "If I am playing as your boyfriend, I should play it to the end, don't you think?"
"And when did I tell you that I needed a boyfriend? That's not even on my list."
He scoffs, "There's a clear difference between playing and being real. I'm only playing as your boyfriend, it's not real. You are not even my type; you have zero qualifications to be my girlfriend."
He's got to be kidding me.
"I have zero qualifications? What makes you think you have the qualifications to be my boyfriend?"
He scoffs and laughs lightly, "Qualifications to be your boyfriend? I am too qualified to be any woman's boyfriend just so you know. I am rich and my wealth can sustain your entire generation to come. I am incredibly handsome…" He emphasizes on the 'incredibly'. "And my looks cannot be compared to any."
Oh my goodness, he's so full of himself!
"You think that makes you a qualified boyfriend? You…"
"There you are! I have been waiting for you and your return was taking forever!" I turn to Alice who has cut me off.
"I am so sorry, Alice. I was um…"
"Wait…" She cut me off again. "Who is he?"
I turn to Niklaus and sighs. "It's um, it's him."
She turns to me and it takes her a moment to realize he's my one night stand guy from the club. "Oh, so this is why you were taking so long to come back!"
Oh goodness, Alice! Why is she getting excited?!
She stretches out her hand to him. "Hello, my name is Alice, Alice Bennett."
Niklaus grins and shakes her hand. "I'm Niklaus McDonalds. You look sexy." His eyes rake her over.
Alice grins, "I know that. So Niklaus…" And then she pauses with wide eyes without finishing what it is that's she wants to say.
I and Niklaus stare at her, waiting for what she wants to say but she keeps staring at Niklaus with wide eyes.
"Alice?"
She shakes her head back to reality. "Wait, um… I want to check something." She takes out her phone and starts going through it.
Niklaus turns to me, "Well…let me have your contact Camille."
"Why?" I arch my brow at him.
He sighs, "It won't hurt to give me your contact, Camille."
And just before I can say anything, Alice gasps loudly and the two of us turn to her. She moves her eyes to Niklaus and fixes them on him. "You… You are…" She shakes her head abruptly and my confusion grows.
"What is it, Alice?" I ask her.
She turns to me, "Um, give him your contact Camille, quickly." She says giving me a look that says I'm dead if I don't give him.
I heave a sigh and stretches out my hand to him and he places his phone on my palm. I added myself as his friend on meetgram before returning his phone to him.
"Here, text me."
He stares at his phone for a moment before dipping it into his pocket. "See you soon." He says smiling at me before walking away.
As soon as he leaves, Alice turns to me abruptly. "Cam! Do you know who that was?!"
