The Only Reason (Ashton Irwin)

Chapter 12

Mariean's POV

.

I was waiting outside of the coffee shop for Alyssa to come out, she said that I should wait for her outside and she's just gonna take a pee. I don't know what made her to consume much time. I crossed my arms and impatiently tapped my fingers on my arms.

"Mariean!" I snapped my head to the direction where british guys shouted my name, their accent is british so I called them british guys. My eyes widen as I saw them. Alyssa is right, they're here.

I frowned and glared at them as these four lads come closer to me, "What are you evil people doing here?"

"Vanessa wants to see Michael so we decided to come as well to see you" Bradley spoke as he tried to remove the sand from his red plaid shirt and his short pants.

"Me?" I asked clueless.

"You came to see her?" Tristan wiggled his eyebrows and Connor whistled. I looked at the guy behind them namely James, he has his earphones in his ears and his phone on his hands. He is mouthing the words of the song he was listening to while busily typing on his phone, not bothering to greet or notice me.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Who are these guys talking about? Who is the her they are referring to? Is it me or.. some other girl?

I turned my gaze to Bradley, noticing that his cheeks are turning into a light shade of pink. Wait.. he is blushing? A flirt is blushing? What is happening to him right now is so odd.

"We came to see her" he emphasized the word we and glanced at me when he said her. He ruffled his curly hair and looked down at the sand.

"Why will you want to see me?" I asked again.

"He doesn't want to see you!" Connor blurted. I raised my eyebrow at him as he continued to speak, "I- I don't mean to hurt your feelings but I just want to tell you the truth that he wants to see A--"

"I am not oblivious Cal! I just.." Alyssa stopped talking and listened to the other line of the phone. Her voice became furious, "Why didn't you told me this awhile ago? Why did you informed me this when you already left?!"

"Um.. Alyssa?" Tristan coughed, which made Alyssa turned to look at us.

Her eyes widen when she realized that we we're close to her and we might hear what she is saying. She pressed her lips into a thin line and spoke lowly, "I'm going to deal with you later, Cal."

She removed her phone from her ears then looked at it and ended the call. After that, she came closer to me and grabbed my hand. She whispered, "Let's go."

"You won't bother to say hi to us?" Bradley pouted.

"Hi or hey?" Alyssa narrowed her eyes at them.

"Don't do that to Brad, he came here because of you" I noticed that Bradley sneakily nudged Connor with his elbow. Connor turned his gaze at Bradley, "What?"

"Look, I don't want to be a victim of your games so find someone who wants to play with all of you" Alyssa snapped.

My eyes widen, thinking that we might have a heated conversation here.

"We're just teasing you with Bradley" Tristan defended.

"Well why don't you tease Vanessa instead?" Alyssa rolled her eyes when she said the girl's name.

"I don't like her, she's awful and horrible" Bradley blurted.

"You mean, we?" Connor spoke.

"Then why are you friends with her?" I butted in.
