When the moon met the sun (ENGLISH VERSION)

-8- MYSTERIOUS STRANGER

-BLAIRE'S POV-

Georg kept shouting in the dining room.

Georg
- The problem is that all of you have a girl and I'm still single!

I frown. Bill bursts out laughing, banging on the table.
Tom looks at him wide-eyed.
- So you're screaming in agony because you can't find a chick?

Georg
- Yes!

I giggle as Bill tries to collect himself. He almost falls to the floor because he can't take it seriously.
- Oh Georg...
he chuckles.

Georg
- Fuck you all!

I laugh softly. At the same moment, Tom's phone starts ringing. He reaches into his pocket for it. He stares at the screen for a few seconds, looking disturbed.
- I'll be back in a moment.
he says more coldly as he leaves the room.

I frown, watching him walk away. After a few seconds of soul-searching, I start to follow him.

Tom
- No, you didn't. I told you it only happened once and I won't do it again.

I'm wide-eyed.

Tom
- Now stop calling me John.

John.
That name is imprinted in my memory.

I feel as if I've heard this mysterious stranger's name before.

He hangs up with a sigh, trying to remain calm.
- Bastard.
he says in a whisper.

Blaire
- Tom?

He gasps, turning to face me.

Tom
- Blaire? How are you?

I look at him, frowning.
- Who was that on the phone?

Tom
- It was nobody.
he says quickly in a tone that makes my blood run cold.

Blaire
- are you lying to me by any chance?

Tom sighs
- There's nothing going on, Blaire, okay?

Bill moves towards us before I can get a word in edgewise. He looks at us for a moment before nodding to Tom.
- I'd like to talk to you.

I look at them both without saying anything.

Tom
- Can you give us two minutes, Blaire? Please ?

I sigh and nod, leaving the corridor.

- TOM'S POV -

Bill
- he called you too?

Tom
- Yeah, he did. He dared to call me.

Bill sighs
- and what are you going to do about it?

Tom
- I'm not gonna do anything. I'm never going back to that kind of shit. I told him once, not twice.

Bill
- You know he can go to the police and report you for what you've done?

I glare at him.
- are you kidding me?

Bill
- No, Tom. He has proof of what you did. If you don't do what he says...I'm afraid he'll turn you in.

Tom
- Are you trying to throw me into his arms?

Bill
- No, Tom. I'm just worried about what might happen.

Tom
- He's also got proof that you were into in, right?
