Chapter 33: Brian's birthday (part 3)

Roger noticed Jilliane's sudden silence and he looked at John and Veronica who were greeting Brian and giving  their birthday gift.

"You're ok?" He whispered to her.

"...yes... Don't mind me..." She also whispered. "I'll just... Want to go outside to get some air..." She said and walked outside.

"Where she's going?" Freddie asked.

"Well... She said she will go outside to have some air". Roger replied.

"Why?.. is there any suffocating smell here?" Freddie asked laughing.

" Well i think she is not used to be on this kind of gathering... I think she was not a party goer!" Roger said.

"Way too bad for her! From now on she must train herself on this! Mostly because her husband is on music industry, and there are more plenty of events like this..." Freddie said.

" Don't worry Fred! She will do become used to this... But for now let us leave her alone!" Roger said.

" Is there something wrong with Jilliane?" Deaky asked.

"No... None.. don't worry about her". Roger said

" We better celebrate Brian's birthday!". Freddie said.

All the people who are invited celebrate Brian's birthday party. They all have their own groupies. Roger became quite busy with the groupies,even the other band members too. Jilliane was outside,and do not want to go inside for she do not know the people invited. She only knows were the band and their partners. She feels like she was out of place there and she wants to go home. And aside from that she will only get hurt seeing John and Veronica together. She got her biggest sigh and looked at the stars.

"What's the sigh is for?" A sudden voice at her back suddenly heard which turned her head to the person who said it. It's Roger.

" Oh! It's you..." She replied then again looked at the stars.

" Would you mind if I'll join you?" Roger asked smiling to her. He is a bit drunk.

" But your groupies are waiting for you inside ..." She said.

" Don't mind them... I am done talking with them... I just want now to be alone... With "my wife" ...and have a little chit chat!" he said.

Jilliane did not said anything. She just looked at Roger.

" Why don't you want to get inside?..."

" I do not know the people invited, it's just you, the band and their partners were only the persons i know there... I feel I'm out of place. And aside from that..." She cannot continue.

" You're jealous... Right?" Roger asked but not looking at her.

" Huh?!" She was shocked to hear it from him. For he figure it out.

" Right from the moment John and Veronica came in together with Freddie and Mary.. i noticed you became silent and looking at the two..." Roger said to her.

Jilliane remained silent and afterwards spoke.

" I do not know why i felt it?... Somehow i am unfair to John for acting that way... I must not feel this... For we are not lovers from the start. I was only infatuated to him." She said.

" So you are admitting, you are infatuated to Deaky, right?" Roger said to her.

" ...yes..." She replied while looking on the ground.

"I'm not wondering why.." he said.  "Hey! Would you mind if i ask what makes you liked him?" Roger teased her.

" Why all of a sudden you're asking me that question? You're like a teenage girl asking.." she said.

"Well let's just say...I'm curious...come on! Tell me... Don't worry i will not tell him..." Roger smiled to her.

"How true?" She is in hesitation.

"As i told you before... I am a man of my word..."

"Well... Let's just say... He is your exact reciprocal!"

"What?!" Roger yelled.

"..just what I've thought! You'll yelled at it!" Jilliane giggled. "... He is.... Gentleman, he's quiet, talented, thoughtful, and as i saw him to his wife... He is... A kind of person whom you will be easily fall in love with... And a real husband material". She smiled but not looking at Roger.

"So that's what you think he really is?" Roger asked.

"...yes...because that is what i see..." Jilliane replied.

"...how about me?...who and what do you think I am?" Roger seriously asked her looking at her.

Jilliane looked at her. They stare at each other for a brief moment.

"Well...as for you..." Jilliane do not know what to say.

"I am just wondering...if it came to your mind liking me too!" Roger said to her. Jilliane was shocked.

"What are you saying? Did you eat something spoiled? You are not even drunk so much yet?!" She replied.

"...well .. you know... Everybody..
Or I'd rather say...every girls find me more attractive... And they even say they cannot resist my whole hotness!" Roger said with such a pride.

"Your whole hotness?!" Jilliane asked.

"Yeah! Hotness!" Roger teasingly said to her.

"Oh yes! You're definitely Hot! ... Hot as a hot blooded bull! You Are so obnoxious! A temperamental blonde who was always having tantrums!" She remarked.

"Hey! What are you talking about?! It's not that kind of hotness i was refering to!" Roger yelled and felt annoyed now.

"...and do you think I am also giving the same remark just like those dumb girls who were head over heels on you? If they only knew who you really are 24/7!" Jilliane said.

" You know what?..." He gave her a dumb ass smile. "... Many girls felt so envy of you... To think that you are with me 24/7, many girls wants to be at your shoe..." Roger said.

"And that is if they only knew who you are... Do you think they will want to be with you?!" Jilliane said to him

"Yeah!...and i am confident on it! They are drooling for me...and will do everything just to be with me!" Roger said to him.

"How arrogant you really are! ... You're such a whole slab of arrogance!" Jilliane said. "I do not even know if you are still hearing what you're saying..."

"Of course i am..." Roger proudly said.

"..just as expected from a Leo... " She said.

"Well... Deaky was a Leo too!" Roger said.

"But he's far different from you!" Jilliane said. And afterwards they both became silent.

"Do you want to be in a place where no one is around?" Roger asked her.

"...and in what place?" She asked.

"...come... We'll go!" Roger said.

"But we need to bid goodbye to Brian!" Jilliane said.

"...no need for that!  And i fuckin' hate that! French exit is better!" Roger grabbed her hand and they went to their car  and went away without anyone noticing them.
