Chapter 14- Suspicion

I need to love you differently
because if I don't,
I will lose you,
in the same way I lost them.

The party ended with me just sitting in the corner and thinking that I'd be drunk if I ever drink four bottles of this alcoholic substance they offer. I did not. I'm still sober and I remember every single detail of the party last night.

This is the day that we're leaving again and after this day, we'll all go back to our normal life, well I think not for me because my life has never been normal.

I've been texting Carl since this morning but she didn't answer any of my calls, I can clearly remember him getting drunk after loosing a useless dare.

That idiot.

I dialled him again but he didn't answer. Come on pick up. But again nothing came.

I decided to check him in his suite, for I am but ready to go home but as I entered the suite, I saw a worker already fixing the suite and the is no sign of Carl anywhere.

"Where is Mr. Levin?"

"He went home early today ma'am, some girl, I think his girlfriend fetched him."

I face palmed, oh god, he just left me.

"Thanks."

Then I left, I carried my luggage with me and waited for a ride, but this, again is a private island and I really need to know someone before I arrive here and I only knew Carl.

"You're already here."

"Yeah, what do you mean already?"

"Carl just asked me to take you home, he forgot to say it."

"Oh, but you could just send someone to take me home instead of bothering yourself.".

"No, it's fine and Carl is overprotective about you."

"What if Karen gets angry."

"What? Why would she get angry? She even told me to go. Did something happen between you two?"

"Nothing."

Okay then let's go. He took my things and placed it in the yatch.

"So, how long have you known Carl?"

"About two years."

"And you've been best friends, ever since?"

"Yes, he's been my best friend."

Then the whole journey was silent until we finally transferred to the car.

Again, silence took over until he turned the car to a different direction.

"Uhm. Mikhail, this isn't the right way."

I felt kinda worried.

"I'll just take you to lunch, I really need to talk to you about something."

That's when my heart started pounding hard in my chest and the nervousness started to build up inside of me.

"We're here" we stopped in an Italian restaurant.
