Do Us Part

35. "Just like old times"

Chapter 35

Sam

"How are you so calm?" Amanda half whispers to me.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you serious?"

"What is it?"

"The hacking, Samuel." That's what. " She shouted.

"Keep your voice down." I gritted my teeth and faked a smile at a man who was waving at me. I wasn't sure who he was, but I waved back anyway. 

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"Errmm... I don't know." Maybe tell me what we are going to find that bastard? "

I smiled to myself. "It's going to be fine, Amanda."

"You seriously are scaring me now." How can you be so relaxed? This is not you. " She says, and I scoff. "The only explanation as to why you'd be like this is that you may have a plan in mind already." She adds.

"Bingo!"

"Really?" She smiled and moved closer to me. "What's your plan?"

Let's talk later. We are at a party. "

"Sam, I—"

"Look, it's your ex-boyfriend." I said, staring at Brad, who was walking towards us. She turned to stare at him and made an irritating sound that only I could hear when she held eyes with him.

"Have fun."

"What? You can't leave me with him. "

"You make it sound like you are not seriously looking forward to it."

"I am, most certainly not. So, don't leave me with him. "

"Oh please," I replied, and just then, Brad stood in front of me. "Sam."

"Brad." "

I equally responded and walked away."

Natalie

"It was a surprise to see Jack."

"Hmm."

"I heard he moved."

"He did, but Jane and he got back last week."

"Ooh. OK, That's nice. "

"Yes."

Things were a little weird back then, don't you think?"

I mean, can you blame him? "You broke his best friend's heart."

Wow.

"I..."

I'm just kidding. We have all moved on, so as Jack. " He laughed out loud.

"Of course, it's been over a decade." I faked a laugh.

"Exactly." He agrees and drinks from his wine glass.

Oh... I hate this. This awkward tingling feeling gives me goosebumps now.

"Where did Henry go?" He asks

"Err..he had a thing?"

"A thing, huh?"

"Yea." I smiled.

"So Amanda and you... what's going on?"

"What do you mean?"
