A NIGHT WITH MY ENEMY

CHAPTER 4

"Fuck", he cussed under his breath.

"You could play a game on my phone to pass time", I suggested

"Look girl we're not friends, stop offering me stuff", he said.

I could hear anger and irritation in his voice.

Fuck it! I was pushing too hard to make sure we have a nice time stuck in here, if he wasn't going to warm up to me then fine, he should go fuck himself.

Silence began to brew in again. The only noise that was heard was from the settling of pipes.
I sighed.

I decided to steal a glance but locked eyes with him.
I threw my eyes to the door quickly.

Why was he staring at me like that?
"You haven't still told me why you're here", I said.

"What the fuck do you want to do with that?", he asked.

"You don't have to act like I'm asking for the pin to your credit card, it's just a harmless question", I said, reciprocating his sassy energy.

"Except you're hiding something", I added, trying to increase his irritation.

He scoffed.
"You're just a little bitch and I swear I'm not even going to waste a second talking to a thirsty slut like you", he said.

Ouch, that hurt but I wasn't going to let him see the weaker side of me.

"Thirsty? You are a dehydrated asshole who has been seeking for my attention", I retorted.

He laughed out.
"Wh-what? Seeking for your attention? Who in this world lied to you that you are worth shit?", he asked with a grin.

"But you're still seeking for my attention, asshole", I said.

I was getting angry already.
This guy who is so full of himself thinks he could say all sort of things to me in here? He has the wrong side of me today.

"I'm not a pussy like your dad who can't stay with one woman, I've got a girlfriend and I'm seeking for nothing from you other than silence so shut up", he shouted.

I looked at him with my mouth opened. I didn't expect him to say that, this was just a banter between us. Why would he bring up my family issue? I made a mistake telling him.

My eyes got wet with tears.
I've tried my best to forget that my parents were getting divorced but nothing I do seem to work.

I was fighting depression and here this guy was, bringing up my family issue just because I asked him a simple harmless question.

I would have just minded my business like he said.

I didn't respond to him, I just sat, staring at my finger and enjoying the silence. For the first time since we got stuck here, I was enjoying silence.

Silence......

"Ariel", his deep voice echoed in my ears.

I looked at him to make sure the call came from him and not my imagination. Then I realized I had no idea what his name was.

"Enemy", I blurted out.

He frowned.
"Enemy? Ouch, I deserve that", he said but I ignored him.
He requested for silence so I'm giving him silence.

I looked at the time, it was 10:56pm.
Time was really moving slowly and I needed to get out to be away from this annoying guy.

"I'm sorry", he said

"You did nothing"

"I know I shouldn't have said anything concerning your dad"

He noticed my quietness and pulled closer to me. I shifted away from him.

"I'm really sorry Ariel", he apologized again.

I thought it was nothing to worry about when I felt strange the first time he called out my name but now that he has mentioned my name again, I still feel the same way.
Like I was ignited with flames of pleasure.

I gulped.

"I'm sorry Ariel", he said again, taking my hand in his.

What the fuck? Why is my enemy touching me? And why the fuck do I still feel this way?
It wasn't.... hatred.
