Blue Life

TWENTY EIGHT

He wished she could just turn back and say something at least but she didn't. He watched her say something to the cab driver and the man nodded then she got into the cab and it drove off in his face.

She didn't even look at him through the window or anything. She just left and he's very sure that she completely hates him now.

Jane's heart was burning that she felt like throwing it away somewhere. Her tears was so hot that it was burning her cheek.

She remembered that she told the cab driver to take her to her house but the keys to her house were in Mirai's. She remembered to carry Ryan's spare keys. That's so wise of her.

She cleaned her tears with the back of her palms. Too much disaster in one night. She got her phone out and dialled Jeremy and he picked. He was her only option now.
"Jane..... Why are you calling this late? "

She sniffed. "Uhmm Jeremy, I was thinking..... " She sniffed again and sniffed again "If.... If I could spend a night... In your place... "

"Jane... Is everything alright? " Worry fully expressed in his voice.

The tears came out hot again which choked her to the extent that she coughed hard.

"Jane where are you? I'll come pick you. "
She caught her breath. "In a cab. "
"Where's the cab? "

She cleaned her tears and sniffed again. Her eyes were clouded so she couldn't say. "I... I don't... I don't know. "

"Give the phone to the driver. "She handed it to the driver and there were a few conversations and the cab driver parked while Jeremy explained everything to her after collecting her phone back.

"I told the cab driver to leave you at Winters where you are presently and I collected his account number so I'll pay. Wait for me there... I'll be there soon. "

She then said. "Will Cheng be comfortable with me sleeping over? "

"We're in her family house right now so you'll just sleep over there with us. I'll be there soon. "

"Okay. " she nodded and came out of the cab. She cleaned her tears and sat down on a seat waiting for Jeremy alone.

It was morning and she woke up yawning, she turned and saw him sleeping by her side. She smiled and pecked his lips then he held her back. "What? I thought you were asleep.... "

He kissed her full on the lips and she giggled. "Good morning. " He said and pecked her nose. "Babe... Why were you pretending?"

"How was I pretending? " he asked with a smirk and she laughed. "I've got to prepare for work. Don't have time for your dirty games. " He chuckled and she smiled.

"Jane. "
"Yeah. "
"Can I say I love you? "
She laughed hard. "Don't try it. "
"Okay, I love you. "
"Damn... I said don't try it. " she chuckled and he rolled his eyes.
"You're late. " She got confused "late? "
He pointed to the wall clock and she screamed. "Oh my goodness. "

---
She came back to her senses and looked away. Then went back.

----
Lots of emotions exchanged. He moved her to the wall and hit her back against the wall. She didn't even feel anything and he didn't even notice at all. He kissed her hard against the wall. Their tongues doing the job perfectly. He removed her shirt and enjoyed the sight of her breast in that sexy black bra. He kissed her neck and she moaned. "Ryan. " He carried her up and her legs wrapped around his waist like she had rehearsed it. His face buried in her chest and she brushed her fingers down through his hair and he paused. "shit! " She did it on purpose and she giggled. He chuckled and said. "Jane....how do you get to do that? "
She smirked. "You've got any condom? " He smiled. "Your cat is watching. "
"It should have fun and learn. " They both chuckled and he got out the condom from his back pocket.
---
She came back to her senses again and rolled her eyes. She stared into the air.

---
"Ryan "
"Yeah. "
"Are you seeing that star?" She pointed to the sky and he nodded.

"That one that looks like your nose? "
"Hey! "she smiled and he chuckled. They were sitting on her roof and he said.
"My mom used to lie to me back then that they were wishing stars or whatever bullshit. "

She chuckled. "I believe in them though. "
"Oh. "
"Yeah. "
"Then make a wish. "

She cleared her throat. "I wish that Ryan will stop being a douche bag. " He rose an eyebrow and she laughed. "Okay.... Your wish is granted. "

"Yeah!! "she laughed and he joined pecking her hair.

"No wishes for Ryan?"
"Me? "
"Yeah.... What's your wish? "

He looked away. "Okay... I wish that my parents will love themselves just as we love each other and they'd never think of a divorce again. " she smiled. "Awwwn. You're so for real. "

"I'm always for real babe. "
She nodded. "That's true. "

---

She started laughing hard. "For real my ass!" She looked away as people stared at her. For real? When he can't even be honest? He told her that he doesn't take drugs. Is there anything wrong with taking drugs? Almost all her friends are junkies! Why will he lie? It was so dumb and senseless.

Worse was that he lied to her face twice! Hell twice! They had an argument about it and he confirmed to her that he doesn't take drugs. Why can't he just be honest? She felt bad and guilty for being real that day but she didn't know that he had always been a pretender!

"Lord! " She shouted again and people turned to look at her. She rolled her eyes and looked away. They don't understand what she's going through. First, her best friend said some trash now, her best human in the world confirmed that he was a liar and a pretender! When he's friends are junkies why won't he be one?

"Damn! I wasn't thinking straight! " She shouted and people looked again. She was blinded by his good looks and all. That confirmed that she was mad. A man walked up to her.
"Excuse me, are you okay? " She was about to say something then a voice answered for her. "Yeah, she's perfectly alright. "

She rolled her eyes as she saw the person.

"Great! how much drama am I experiencing this night? "

The man nodded and walked away and she looked at the person that answered for her.

"What are you doing Walsh? " She looked at him sternly. "I'm supposed to be the one asking. Why are you crying by the road side and shouting like someone who's gone psycho? "

"Fuck off Walsh! "He heaved. "You're still using all those words. "

"That's why I hate you.... You judge me a lot. Just go away. " She turned her face and he rolled his eyes.

"Let me take you home. "
"Jeremy's taking me home. " She said without looking at him and he got out his phone placing it on his ears.

"Yeah, Jeremy............ forget about picking Miss Claire,uhm I'll be taking care of that already.... "
She looked at him surprised. "What the hell? "

"......Yeah..... I'll take her home so don't bother...... Okay have a good night rest... You too. "He cut the call and she frowned. "Why did you do that? "

"You're not okay.... So I have to take care of you myself. "
"Bullshit! Call Jeremy and tell him to pick me or I'll just do it myself. " She got out her phone and he held her hand.
"Please Jane.... Please let me take you home.... I need to. "

She looked him in the eye. "Your hands off! " She looked at his hand on hers and he removed it.

"Please, let me take you home. "
"Now, you're the one that's crazy. "
"Jane! Stop being so difficult! " He shouted and she shook her head.
"You're still the same. "

He looked away. "I'm sorry.... Let me take you home. "
"Funny thing is that I don't have my keys with me... I was meant to sleep at Jeremy's or Cheng's family house... Whatever. "

He heaved. "You know that you can stay at my place. " She looked at him and laughed. "You're crazy... Trust me. "
