Thompson
I walk back to our table with the Martinis for Madonna and I.
"Here you go." I smile at Madonna and she grins excitedly.
"Love... The hairstyle." Cole nods approvingly and I smile at his sweet remark.
"Seconding that." Brandon snaps a finger and I giggle.
"Thank you." I make a small curtsey and they both grin.
"Although I was against it at first. I must say you rock it." Madonna points out and I chuckle.
Nala continues to look around, totally disregarding my existence, as usual.
Adam though, he was still frowning at a distance, but a moment later, his expression changes.
His eyes froze at a distance ahead and when I scan the crowd I spot Cassey, walking towards us confidently.
"Hey Tess!" She grins and I almost choke on my drink.
I frown at her.
"Cute haircut..." She nods but then she scowls shaking her head.
"Anyway..." She flicks a curl.
"Adam." She turns to Adam with a wide smile and he gulps once.
Nala straightens in her seat.
"I've been texting you..." She frowns at him.
"I honestly don't know where my phone is." Adam pretends to be looking for his phone.
"Excuse me?" Nala scoffs and I hold in my chuckle.
Here we go...
"Doesn't matter now, want us to go somewhere we could talk in private?" Cassey ignores Nala's interruption and that gets both Nala and Adam on their feet.
"Oh no she didn't!"
Just before Nala steps in front of her, Brandon wraps his arm around Nala's waist.
"Let's go before it gets bloody..." Adam chuckles before he ushers Cassey away by her waist.
My heart beats hard.
What did Adam have to do with Cassey?
"Adam!"
"Don't you dare screw that bitch! Do you hear me?!"
"Let go Brandon!" She tugs at Brandon's arm but her efforts go to waste.
"Relax! Adam doesn't do that shit remember?" Brandon frowns at her and Cole scoffs.
All faces turn to him.
He lowers his beer and gulps.
"What?" He frowns.
Nala places her hands over her hips and looks him straight in the eye.
"Start speaking Cole..." She spoke very calmly. The moment before a volcano erupts.
"Alright, he has only been with her once-okay?!" He sighs.
My heart sinks.
Adam slept with Cassey Calhan...
When did that happen?
Nala bolts and Brandon instantly bolts behind her.
"Shit..." Cole breathes heavily.
"Do you do that shit?" Madonna asks Cole and when we both frown at her she gulps.
"I was just wondering..." Her voice fades and she avoids our gaze and sips on her margarita.
"I don't..." Cole answers with a smile that she reciprocates...
I smile at the both of them.
Cute...
Why was I feeling this unbearable pain in my chest, like I couldn't breath?
