Not A Couple

21. Happy go lucky smile

"Ouch... aa...oii...aaai.. stop hitting me, Jane"
"You literally are the biggest idiot to have been born on this planet", she said and kept on punching my chest. Her hands look small and delicate but they are ...woaahhh mann that hurt kind.
"And why do you say so??", I asked already aware of the reason.
"You really have to ask that?? I just got off the phone. Do you know a girl called Irene Whittemore?? Dark hair? Attractive?? Ballet dancer?? Blu___"
"No need to think of more adjectives for her. Of course, I know who she is since she is my girlfriend"
"Ohh... so you do remember that she is your girlfriend. Now, how many girlfriends in this world propose to their boyfriends???"
"A lot??", I said meekly.
"A lot?? Ha!! Seriously, Bin!! Very few special girls choose to propose to their boyfriends and she did. May I know what you did when she asked you to marry him"
"I ran away", I said looking down at the floor. The anger in Jane's eyes is not something I would ever become habitual to. As I said earlier an angry beauty is as dangerous as a poisonous snake. I think I was wrong....snakes are less dangerous.
"You ran away. Great job, Bin!!! I am so damn proud of you", she said patting my back. Sarcasm!!
"She kissed someone else with her own will"
"She was drunk goddamn it. And you know how upset she gets when it comes to ballet. Have you lost your mind or something?? You are talking as if you don't know her."
"But she kiss___"
"Enough!!", she said showing me her palm.
"You are not all that innocent either, you know", she continued.
What the hell is she saying?? She smiled for the first time since I came back and it was not her normal happy go lucky smile. It was her- You -are-in-trouble-and-you-don't-know-it smile. Well, I do know I am in trouble. What is she trying to imply out here??
"You remember the time you read the first review of your debut book??"
"Ohh yeah!! That asshole said that a five-year-old could write better than me. I hope he received a slap in the face when that very book made me the best selling author. What is your point??", I asked.
"You were very upset that day. Just like Irene, you considered it your first big break but when you saw that review.... to say the least, you were shattered"
"Where are you going with this??", I asked.
"Let me finish and don't interrupt. You stole a bottle of beer I guess, I am not sure about the kind of alcohol but it was alcohol. You were young and obviously were not allowed to drink. You came to my house and we drank your worries away. How to say this??? Umm___"
"Ohh come on!! Just speak up."
"You tried kissing me Bin and you were in a relationship with her at that time!!"

Ohh my god!! One more revelation. What do you think of Bin now?? Vote if you like it and leave your comments behind. Thank you for reading.
