Married To Mr. Devil

CHAPTER 17

James pov:

As soon as I dropped sara in her place I picked my mobile and called my friend. After two rings he attends the call.

"Hello" he said.

"Meet me at our usual bar in 10 minutes" I said.

"Why? What happ" before he ask something I cut the call and tossed away my phone in the next seat.

I started the engine and drove towards the bar.

I was sitting in one of the bar stool and drinking. Liam didn't arrive yet. I finished my glass and about to order another one when the chair next to mine occupied and I turned to face my best friend.

"Whoa buddy, calm down." He said and dropped his hand on my shoulder.

"What happened?" he asked.

I didn't answer him. I just kept looking at the empty glass I was holding. After a moment of silence I decided to talk.

"I took Sara out on a date today" I said flatly.

My friend's eyes widened and looked at me disbelief.

"Dude, Really? When that happened? How did you manage to make her say yes?" he asked me but I just shrugged.

"Ok wait, if you were on a date why you are here then?" he asked with confusion in his eyes.

"I dropped her in her place after we ate dinner and I left." I confessed.

"What? Why? Ohh, please don't tell she didn't want to go all the way with you and that's why you left. Because I am not going to believe that." He said smiling and punched me on the shoulder playfully but I kept silent.

He looked at me and stopped smiling.

"James what happened?" he asked.

"Sara wants to have a dinner at the new restaurant which opened few weeks ago. So, we decided to go there and that's when I saw him." I said.

"Who?" Liam asked carefully.

"Nick" I said and nearly flinched. I can't even say his name with the amount of guilty I am feeling right now.

"Ohh, did he saw you there with Sara? Wait, what he is doing there anyway? Please don't tell me he is also come with one of his date." Liam said but I shook my head.

"He's is working there as a waiter" I said and I can see the shock in my friend's face.

"What? But, you said... you said he was..." he trailed off not knowing what to say.

"Yeah, but as usual I am wrong. He is working there as a waiter and that's why he's coming home late. I called my mom and asked her if she know about his Job and she said yes. That's he have been working there since the day after our marriage even though my mom said 'No'. He told her that he doesn't want any of her money and he has nothing to do with it."

"What about college?" Liam asked.

"He's doing it as a part time job. In the evening, after the classes only he's working."

"Ohh" he said and again a silence fell.

"Did he yell at you or something? When he sees you with Sara?" he asked and I shook my head.

"That's the thing. He didn't say anything nor did he act any different. He completely hides the fact that we were married and acted like we didn't even know each other."

"Maybe he didn't care?" Liam said more like asked.

I shook my head but kept silent.

I don't think so. I can still remember the hurt and betrayal in his eyes when he saws me with Sara. I know we are not in a good terms but I can tell it hurts him but the fact is it's hurts me more to know that I am the one who hurts him. When I looked into his eyes at the moment something in me changed but I don't know what it is.
