Chapter 11: Hang out

Chapter 11

Hang out

Patrick Levi POV

I received a call from the guys inviting me to hang out. It’s been a month since I had fun with them. Well it’s not my fault if I’m having more fun being with Monica. 

“Dude, Come on let’s go out. You never had fun lately. The girls are also looking for you.” Matt kept convincing me in the other line. 

“I don’t think I can go there. It’s just that -” I stopped when I felt a hand tapped on my shoulder. “Hold on a second.” I said in the end of the line. I covered the bottom part of phone and looked at her with a sweet face “what?” 

“You should go.” Those words came for her makes my heart aches. F*** Matt if you just didn’t call.

“Are you kicking me out?” She just laughed and shook her head. 

“Your friends are waiting for you. They also need you. Maybe for an extra clown, I guess.” she laughed again. I gave her a look Shut-up-it’s-not-funny. But it just brought her more reasons to laugh. I give up, I know she just wants me to be happy. But to be honest being with her is my new happiness. 

I retrieved my conversation with Matt. “Okay dude, I’ll be there. Just give me a hour to prepare.”

“Dude, are you a girl? Who’s the F****** man needs an hour to prepare? Or are you with someone right now? Is she hot?” Matt excitedly asked.

“Shut up dude, and yes. I’m with someone right now and she’s totally hot.” I looked at Monica playing with Milky at my side.

“Woah! Dude, bring her in, and introduce me.” What does he said? Bring her? No way, why would I? 

“Sorry dude, she’s OFF LIMITS.” I said emphasizing the words.

“Really Patrick? OFF LIMITS? Wow the playboy changed a lot.” He sarcastically commented.

“Give up dude. Whatever sarcastic thing you’ll say I won’t bring her with me. I’ll be there in a hour.” I hang up not wanting to hear his reply.

I leaned my head to the sofa and closed my eyes. She rubbed my armed with her soft hand I smiled, “You should also has fun with them. They’re gonna miss you.” I exhaled. It’s not true, the fact is they won’t miss me much as much as they missed the girls. 

“Well I guess I should go now, So they won’t miss me a lot.” I narcissistically said. She just smiled and walked me to the front door.

“You take good care while driving and have fun with the guys.” she sweetly said. Oh, missing me already?”

“I would, and go inside now before I kiss you again.” she blushed and rushed to the door to hide herself. Her action brought a smile on my face. 

“I’ll be going, good night in advance Monica.” 

“You too Pat, say good bye to your papa Milky.” she said as she bended to get our little buddy. I smile genuinely. I love the way she said “PAPA”. 

As I drove away from Monica’s house I looked at the rear-mirror to see her again. She’s smiling, still standing at the front door holding Milky and helping him to give some goodbye waves. I felt a smile forming in my face. Being with her or seeing her like that makes me feel like I have a family on my own. And this feels strangely great.

“Dude!” I saw Matt raised his hand to attract my attention. I walked to the table we’re the guys sat.“Patrick! Where have you been? Coz I never see you around? Are you hiding from me yeah? Somewhere in the crowd.” Matt teased. He looked stupid while singing and dancing. Everyone laughed at him. I sat at the table beside Steve.

“Hey.” he raised his glass to greet me. I nodded at him. “How are you and your mysterious girl? Having a great time with her?” He asked.

“Were both doing fine. She always keeps me busy and happy.” I smirked while sipped on my scotch.

“You really didn’t bring her? Dude, you’re being selfish.” Matt instantly appeared in our back. Call me selfish as much as you want. I won’t let Monica be anywhere near you.

“Why don’t you go there? Those girls keeps on checking on you.” I pointed him to a bunch of girls at the dance floor who keeps on whispering, batting their eyes and almost throwing their selves on us. He took look on where I pointed my head and saw those girls. He smirked “Excuse me guys, I think I need to attend the needs of those hot chicks. I’ll be back, if I can.” He walked away from us and started to throw his hands on those slutty girls. 

“Hi guys.” I heard a very familiar voice who greeted us. We both looked at her, Steve greeted her back. She looked at me like she’s waiting to receive my greetings to her. But I can’t bring myself to look at her and act like I don’t care or nothing happened between the two of us. I felt guilty. I really do. I’m Sorry Chelsea.....
