Loving the Enemy

Chapter 16

"Megan Fox is so hot." I nod in agreement.

We are in the living room watching 'Jennifer's Body' while the boys are in the kitchen, cooking like we dealt it.

We wanted to take a peek into the kitchen and what they were cooking but they behaved kind of sus, telling us to keep out and that it is going to be a surprise.

"Who is Megan Fox?" Sky cutely questions.

"Sweety she's a famous actor" Fernanda informs her, her eyes not leaving the TV.

"Okay ladies. The food is ready and the table is set." Alex beams coming into the room from the dining room.

(The dining room and the kitchen botch lead to the living room. But the kitchen also connects to the dining room(Just so there won't be any confusion))

He lifts Sky into his arms and walks out.

"Aww. The movie was just getting to the best part." Vanessa whines as we stand up and follow Alex.

Everyone sat in their chair. I was at the head of the table and across from me sits Ace. To my left is Seb, Fernanda and Lorenzo a seat further, beside Ace. To my right is Vanessa, Sky and Alex.

There is a plate of Lasagna and it looks delicious.

"Enjoy the food" Sebastian says as he picks up a fork and starts eating. I follow suit as my eyes don't leave Aces'.

Fernanda hums, "It's actually really good."

"Thank you" Alex replies as he looks at Seb suspiciously.

Sebastian looks around nervously.

"You bought it, didn't you?" I look at Sebastian with a look that he won't resist.

"Fuck. Don't do that to me"

I roll my eyes. "Fucking knew it. At least it's good."

"Told you they won't believe it" Lorenzo mutters.

Fernanda glares at Alex and he shrinks away a bit.

I shake my head and let out a small chuckle as I take another bite. "Chill. It's not the end of the world. Just let the cooking to us."

"You know we can actually cook but we just weren't in the mood and Lasagna would take way longer to make anyway. The only one who can't cook in this room is Sebastian." Alex defends.

Sebastian silently gasps. "That's not true."

Vanessa gives him a 'Really?' expression. He rolls his eyes in response and goes back to eating his Lasagna in silence, keeping his glare on Vanessa.

"If you can really cook then make us breakfast for the rest of the week, till the mission" Fernanda orders.

His mouth falls open as he is ready to protest but shuts it immediately.

I love how they try to defend themselves.

We eat and keep on talking. Lorenzo joins the conversations from time to time as we joke around. Ace doesn't. He is more of a person that observes. That's his way to figure out people.

I love to talk but I know when to stop. Back then I talked and never stopped. That only lead me to getting hurt. People use that weakness of yours. You telling them all they need to know about you. And then they will use it against you. They will crush you. But what is there to crush if your pieces are already lost somewhere and nowhere to be found.

Many will say that your so called 'soulmate' is supposed to fill you up again with the little pieces that landed stranded by his feet.

But that's bullshit. I once believed in that. I even once thought I found my person who will slowly glue me together again. But in the end he just took what was left in me and crushed it before throwing it in the ocean. And see what it has made me into. A cold empty soul. Nothingness.
