His Lethal Love

Chapter - 7

Past

Camille

"Maura needs only to ask him. He can do anything for her." My jaw flexed at the words Rika said. Seeing Scott and Maura happy made me jealous. I fixed my eyes on those two lovey-dovey people who were having lunch together in a cheap restaurant as we sat in the car together.

Angry, I chewed inside my cheeks and whispered, "I want them to break up. He's mine."

"He doesn't even know that," Rika laughed, and I cocked my head in her direction. "He's not yours, Camille."

"Rika, what should I do to make him mine?"

A shrug accompanied her response. "I don't know." She pulled lipstick from her purse and applied it to her lips. "I'd like to date you." She winked with a smile, and I rolled my eyes.

"It's not funny."

"I think we'd make a great couple, right Cam?"

"You're my bestie, nothing more."

"The entire school thinks you are gay."

"Because of Maura." She had spread the rumor that I was gay. I glanced at the restaurant. "I'm not bothered by what she says; the only thing that matters to me is that Scott thinks I'm gay."

"Why don't you just tell him you love him?"

Biting my nails, I stared at them. "I'm afraid I'll be rejected. It has never happened to me before that I have fallen in love, with Rika. I am unsure whether I actually love him or not."

"He is so charming, funny, and gentle that any girl would fall in love with him. Just look at how happy Muara is with him."

I noticed one thing Maura never stopped laughing, smiling, and blushing ever since they were in the restaurant. "I want this happiness."

"Why don't we get inside?" Rika suggested.

"I don't think so..."

"Get out of here, Cami." She unfastened my seatbelt, opened the door, and shoved me outside.

After stumbling out, I adjusted my glasses. "I'm not going in." I protested.

"Are you saying you don't want to disturb them?" Rika grinned and pulled me into the restaurant with her.

"I just hate cheap restaurants!" I reasoned, but it didn't stop her to drag me inside.

"Shut up and get inside."

Fresh chocolates and chips filled the air as we stepped inside. Even though the outside area of the restaurant looked like trash, the inside looked so cozy and inviting. We took the table across from Scott's. It felt like my heart skipped a beat when his eyes fell on me, and I saw his smile vanish the next moment.

"What would you like to order, ma'am?" The server asked politely as soon as we sat in chairs.

"Two chocolate drinks, thanks," Rika replied in my place as she squeezed my hand affectionately.

Scott reached out to kiss Maura's hand, ignoring us. My dream was to date Scott Martinez, even though he was my servant's son but sadly, I never had the chance to pursue him.

"You need to look away from him," Rika muttered under her breath and squeezed my hand in warning. "I have no problem with madness, but such madness will be harmful to you, Cam."

"I don't know, I can't stop my eyes..." I looked away.

"As well as your feelings," she giggled as she scanned a teen girl standing next to us. Rika was gay, so she probably made the entire school think that I was dating her. She was sexy, sweet, and talkative. She liked to tease people and make them laugh whereas I liked to bully those who bully others. I never trouble innocents, that's what Scott thought of me. He thought badly of me. Maura filled all this shit.
