We Found Love

ACT 20

ACT 20

Clad in a pair of plain blue jeans and a black shirt with a dragon printed at the front, Akali was comfortably settled on one side of Evelynn's bed. She scrubbed her damp hair with a towel, putting only a little effort in drying it while she waited for her girlfriend to finish her shower.

Akali smiled to herself, recalling what she and Evelynn had done earlier. It was her that led the entire thing. Yes, Evelynn guided her on some parts, but nonetheless it was her that inflicted pleasure. It was her that made Evelynn squirm and moan until the peak of release was achieved.

The freestyler felt awfully giddy, unable to keep herself still as she thought about each and every detail with a rather goofy smile. Her eyes occasionally flickered at the ajar door of the bathroom, her mischievous side silently attempting to convince her to sneak at least a little peek at the showering singer. Laughing quietly, Akali shook her head at the idea. What would Evelynn say if she were caught red-handed?

Before Akali could even think much about the possibilities of such, her eyes darted towards the diva's cellphone on the bedside table. The gadget lit up and began to vibrate, while the picture of the caller popped up on the screen.

Eyebrows furrowing, Akali tilted her head and squinted. She was trying to make out the name of the caller without scooting closer or leaning towards the table. It took two to three seconds before she managed to clearly read the name of the contact.

"FATE"

The man on the picture had an impressive and well-trimmed beard and a black hat with a red band. He seemed to be holding the front brim of the headwear, smirking at the camera while he had his other hand positioned the front of one of the buttons of the red blazer. His features were also fairly attractive in a somewhat rugged way and once Akali confirmed her judgment of the man's appearance, she was struck with curiosity.

Who was this guy?

Akali had yet to remove her gaze from the phone when the call abruptly ended. She hadn't even thought about calling for Evelynn when the call itself was dropped. Instead of another one coming in, a message popped up on the phone's screen. Unable to stop her curiosity from getting the best of her, Akali scooted to the side and inched closer to the piece of tech. By the time her eyes skimmed over the text that had been received, there was already a total of two text messages.

Fate: Dinner out tonight, Evie?
And dessert at my place? Or yours? ;)

"What the..." Akali's curiosity was burned away by the spark of jealousy that was suddenly inspired by the unexpected messages. More than half of herself was now urging her to take the phone and try to unlock it. She wanted to know what else did this mysterious man send Evelynn.

Had this been going on from the very beginning?

Was Evelynn actually in a secret relationship with someone that's not her?

It took all of her willpower, but Akali succeeded in pulling herself away from the phone. She moved back to her place on the side of the bed, forcing herself to think about something else other than the text messages that were clearly not friendly. Or probably too friendly for her own taste.

Deep concern welling inside of her, Akali turned her gaze towards the bathroom door, especially when she heard the shower stop and the low rustle of a towel probably being wrapped around a certain someone's body. Her hands had stopped drying her hair and was now just dangling between her legs, the small towel on her head idly draped over her hair.

'Eve would never do that to me.' Akali told herself in her thoughts. 'She... She cares about me. She's serious about me. What we have is real.'
