British Bad Boy

Chapter 6: [He is the villain he is the hero. So he is a schmuck.]

Nicolai's POV: (Yay? Or Nay?)

What the fuck just happened?

Oh yeah, I made the girl leave. Better go and celebrate, yeah?

But I look at James and his eyes are filled with pain and sorrow. And I'm the one who has caused it.

Hell no, I'm not celebrating. I even feel a bit guilty.

Okay the guilt is killing me!

And the girl wouldn't just leave if she really was what I thought her to be, would she? I mean, she'd go straight to James, cry her eyes out and tell on me.

But she didn't do that. She left...Saying her grandma's ill. She is apparently shit at lying.

My thoughts are interrupted when I hear James sigh loudly and slump on the sofa.

And I know just what to do. Let's hope I'm not late. Not too late.

-"Excuse me please, excuse me... just get the fuck away!" These people have no ears at all. Being a gentleman is the last thing I care about right now.

I'm frantically searching for this 'Lucy' girl and I know I'll have a bit of a problem because I don't even know her real name! Except that it starts from an 'A'.

10:35. I reach the Cathay Pacific counter in the JFK airport because I couldn't find the flight gate no. on the screens.

"Excuse me Miss, has the flight to Kathmandu boarded already and may I know which gate no. it is?", I tried my best to be calm and poised. But if this Lucy girl is already in the sky (Lucy in the sky- The Beatles, give it a listen!) then I'm done for. James might never ever talk to me.

"Sorry sir, you may have been mistaken but we don't have a flight to Kathmandu for tonight. Actually we have flights for Kathmandu arranged only for afternoons and it's only a day after tomorrow." The girl told me with a flirty smile.

"Are you.. somehow.. Nico-", the girl continued.

"Oh, no no. Thank you very much!", and with that I ran off.

Where could she be? She was lying then about flying off tonight. She did a pretty good job lying about that then.

Where is she in the middle of the night then???

I'm not the one to easily give up, 'Lucy' girl. I'm coming to find you...

After three hours....

God!!!!!

I've never been so frustrated in my whole life!!! Way to go Lucy girl. Either you're lost or you're fucking out of your mind! Because I've practically searched every street, shop, restaurant and 7/11s.

-"Hey mum!" sniff... " Yeah, everything's alright. I know it's past 12 here but I just missed you....." sniff sniff "no no! everything's fine. They're great.... James is nothing but incredible you already know that. And his mum, Elizabeth, she's just like you, treats me like family..." sniff "I told you nothings wrong, I just missed you because I'm like continents away from you mother dear.."

I turned right to find out where the voice was coming from. Lucy girl was talking on the phone, dragging her huge suitcase along with her in a dark alley. She had her back to me so she couldn't see me. I walked up close to her and I stood behind her like a creep in the dark alley. She really had no idea. I just listened to her talk..

"Grandma's fine?... good! And you and Zenab? Good good.... Oh, the cousin? His name is Nicolai." I stiffened.

"He's... really sweet. Loves James and Elizabeth like anything. Nice fellow, he is. Yes! Of course he's good to me. Obviously! He's James' cousin." No one's made me feel this guilty, ever! Hang up Lucy girl!
