chapter 17 ♣ A cold consolation

"haha you're funny you know that?"

"tell me something i don't know. " i say smirking playfully

"okay, you're amazing"

"i know that" i reply still smirking

"uh......you're beautiful"

"obviously not more than Evelyn" i sneered. wow. were did that come from?

"eve? eve my sister?"

"oh so she's your sister? i'm sorry. i didn't know she was your sister, i wouldn't have spoken about her that way" i say terribly blushing and really ashamed of myself

"no,no its okay. I'm used to girls insulting her and getting jealous of her. I think you're more beautiful than her though."

He probably thinks so because she's his sister, he's seen her everyday and gotten used to her, he probably doesn't see how beautiful she is and at that moment, I felt like shit. He said he used to girls getting jealous of her and I was one of them. I was supposed to be better than that. My mom taught me better than that. I'm supposed to be better than those girls that were jealous of her

"You probably think that way because she's your sister. You probably don't know how beautiful she is"

"Probably. I know she's beautiful but you're beautiful also so deal with it. A beautiful girl like you shouldn't have low esteem."

"Whatever you say dad" I mocked playfully and started laughing.

He joined me to laugh and when I turned my head to look at my fellow dancers, my eyes immediately caught sight of Wayne dancing with Evelyn. Figures. Though I wasn't Jealous this time. I told myself that I was better than that. They actually seemed to tolerate each other. They smiled at each other.

"Phillip, what's the deal between Wayne and Evelyn? Why does it feel like everyone hates Evelyn?"

"Well, Evelyn is Wayne's ex-girlfriend"

"Really?"

"Yea"

"So what happened? What broke them up?"

"Your husband should be telling you that not me"

"Phillip please?"

"Sorry cutie bear. I really can't"

*sigh* " its okay. At least you've told me something other than her name"

"Glad I could help" he says teasing

The party was still on but it was officially time for Wayne and I to retire to our bedroom as newly wedded couples. We were supposed to retire earlier than others because people knew this was our wedding night so we probably wanted to indulge in hot, steamy passionate sex but none of those were going to be happening though.

We were going to totally ignore each other since I was still angry with him. Infact, I was going to sleep as soon as we got to our room.

When we got to the room, both not speaking to each other on the way, I quietly went into my closet and changed into a night gown and I came out. By the time I came out, I heard the shower running. Wayne was probably taking a shower and I decided it was long I'd heard from home so I texted my closest sister Vivienne.

Hey viv. What's up?

Hey sis! How was the wedding? Sorry we couldn't be there. Kinda busy with some issues at home. Besides daddy said it was best if we didn't come, that you may still be angry.
