THE GUARDIANS

I guess the cat's out of the bag

CHAPTER 20

Staring at the pleading eyes of my best friend I caved "jess and David....." I stopped and they all seemed to be at the edge of their sits "have reconciled their differences and are friends again." They released their breathes and I stood up dumbing my unfinished food in the sink.

"Babe is that all. he said smiling brightly. Why didn't you want her to tell me?" Andrik said holding her hands.

"We wanted to tell you ourselves." She said and he hugged her before doing a bro hug with David.

Rolling my eyes I grabbed my phone from the table and walked out the back door going to the pool sitting on one of the lounge chairs has I plugged my ears listening to music, then closed my eyes.

My ear buds were ripped from my ear and I opened my eyes glaring at David has he stood in front of me looking mighty pissed. He pulled me up roughly and I gasped in shock has he dragged me into the house and upstairs ignoring my struggling and the looks my family were directing our way.

He pushed me into our private library quite forcefully and locked the door. I held my hand rubbing my throbbing wrist has I glared at him and he glared right back.

"What the hell David? What makes you think you have the right to manhandle me?"

"Maybe if you didn't play your stupid games on people like what you did in the kitchen, I wouldn't treat you this way." I scoffed resting my hands on my hips.

"Stupid games! I did no such thing, why?" I inquired tilting my head.

"Are you that scared? I only tried to simply bring out the truth, you should be thanking me for not revealing anything." I said walking closer to him and I felt the air change, charging with electricity has both our emotion continue to rise, spiraling out of control.

"Am not scared about that night coming out, but what of jess? You're best friend, didn't you think about her?" I wavered knowing what I did back at the kitchen was a bitchy thing to do, just because of my jealousy.

"Sure protect her, she is after all the ex-girlfriend you can't seem to get over. I always though you two behaved weird during the time I force you to spend together with me. I can't believe I missed the signs, or maybe I just chose to ignore it. I must have seemed like a fool to both of you has I tried to gain your attention like a lost puppy just waiting for any scraps thrown my way." I laughed sarcastically looking away from him but not before noticing the confused expression on his face.

"I didn't know you tried to gain my attention." He mumbled and I scoffed.

"Seriously, you want to tell me you didn't notice that I liked you, please pick a better excuse David, lest you can do after pathetically leading me on." I said rolling my eyes and he stared at me hurt.

"What the fuck did he have to feel hurt about?" I thought. Letting out a deep breath slowly, I turned facing him.

"to answer your former question, I did think about her and that's why I didn't say anything, she should be thankful I held my tongue but if I did say anything then I did nothing wrong." I said raising my chin to meet his not wavering.

"Seriously? he question shaking his head I never thought you could be this conniving twisted bitch." I tried unsuccessfully to swallow the lump in my throat has his words hit me, hard.

Noticing my hurt expression he stepped closer, regret in his eyes but I stepped back sniffing looking down before raising my head glaring at him steeping closer.

"Call me what you want David, I still stand by my words, even if she was my friend I did nothing wrong. The hurt and betrayal she would have felt compared to how much pain she caused me will never be enough." I hissed walking past him unlocking the library door.
