SOULMATES

SNITCH!

15.
PERCY's POV.

I sat back on the chair and the girl turned to look at me

"What? " she asked.

"Nothing. Let's just....sit here for a while. It's still pretty early you know."

My watch read 11:17 then. She smiled happily and resumed her position next to me,oblivious to how abnormal my heart was beating and how I wish to be any where but there at that moment. She placed her hand on my thigh but i didn't move, I sat still. I knew how this looked like and it was really bad.

Fuck ! What was she even doing here? She could've left a message or called to let me know she was coming and this situation would've been avoided. Honestly I didn't think she would ever show up unannounced. She hated these parties and it took so much effort to get her to come . Why would I ever think that she would decide to show up, today of all days.

*Right. Today was a weekday and there isn't suppose to be a party. She probably thought so*

I chewed on the inside of my lips, a bad habit I slipped into when I was nervous. How long had she been standing there? What exactly did she see? I shut my eyes briefly as I recalled the events of the past minute or so. I had the girl on my lap, my hand around her waist , eyes shut as she grinded against me, we stood up to leave which meant going to continue what we started somewhere private and Phoebe may or may not have see all that. Fuck !! My hands were too shaky I had to drop the cup on the table.

"Bro what happened?"

Sam asked. I was sure he knew what. The smirk on his face proved it. I glared at him. I had my back to the crowd but he didn't and I'm sure he saw Phoebe come in. He could've said something but didn't. What the hell was his problem?

"I want out of this bet shit."

Those were the words that left my lips. My friends looked confused for a moment then they burst into laughter. My head snapped up. I didn't think I said anything funny.

"The girl too tough err."

Lucky said through his laughter. I shook my head. I wanted to lie. I wanted to say that the only problem i had is that I didn't find her attractive. She wasn't a bad girl and it was hard turning me on. But instead i said,

"I think this isn't necessary anymore. It doesn't feel right to treat her like that. She's actually a nice person if you get to know her. So I thought maybe we should let her be."

I blurted. Sam looked at me in amusement.

"Why, have you suddenly grown soft and kind? You were the very person who vowed to give the girl a treat for acting so insolent with you the other time. Then Luc here challenged you were never going to have your way with her so we made a bet. And you even got more furious when you found out Harold wanted her too so why the sudden change of mind"

I went cold at the mention of Harold and suddenly I remembered my reason for carrying out this mission. But still, should my anger towards Harold be carried out on Phoebe? i didn't even have anything against the guy except him flaunting around boasting of being the only guy Phoebe paid mind to was annoying. I didn't even care anymore because now I know the trust. Phoebe did care about him but what we had was unique, she loved me and it would be nice to flag it in his face. I didn't care about him so I decided,

"Let's just forget about all this. I want you people to know there's no bet now."

"You can't be serious. You know you can't back out now. You know the rules. Not when she slept in your room last night."

Vanessa!

She came telling she found Phoebe in my room. That slut!!! . I gritted my teeth. Sam leaned forward, voice dropping.
