Falter

Chapter 13 - bumpy start

ELIZA

So we sat there awkwardly, it's rather me that's awkward, while Mavis, Evee to her friends, talked about the places she's been to. She mentioned her name is Mavis Everly and she hated it because Hunter always mocked her for it. Especially the Everly one. Hunter had a second name too. Beau.

Hunter Beau Thompson

Sounds cute and sexy at the same time. Or is this because I just had sex with him? The public restroom of all places.

I mentally facepalm. It happened so fast but the sensation and the mind-blowing orgasm I had still lingers on my lower abdomen. I have never felt so good, not even when Jared had his rushed orgasm in his stinky room a week before prom. An orgasm my body didn't have any part of since he was so turned on of the though of fucking me but so angry at me for not giving him what he wants. I lay there beside him, crying like a fool, while he took care of himself beside me. I felt so out of place and annoyed at myself for even being pressured of having sex. With Jared, it's nothing that I imagined. It was worse than anything I imagined really.

But with Hunter, it's never what I expected. It's beyond what my mind can comprehend. On the first day we met, I could already feel the electricity pulsating between us the first time we held hands. I have never felt anything so powerful like this. I thought the way Bella felt when she saw Edward was an understatement. I thought everything was just written in books for exaggeration but it happens.

"Would you shut up about it? Or else I'll call you by your real name for the rest of your life." Hunter said, his thick brows meeting at the center.

"Oh golly! Such a crybaby!" Evee exclaimed and rolled her eyes.

I just laughed. Evee is someone I can get along with very well. She's not a slave of social media where she feels she needs to post every activity she does for the day. I realized when I looked at her, she had the same features her brother has but different at the same time. I really couldn't put my finger on it.

I admit that I felt hurt when I heard that they had a dog, thinking they're living together or something. I was naïve. I have never met anyone like Hunter. His aura occupies the space he's in. His charisma is spilling everywhere, more so when he's smiling. He's really a different version from whom I crushed on when I was eleven years old. His looks have definitely turned into a head turner or panty dropper, I suppose.

"So Eliza tell me about you? I've blabbering my whole life here." Evee asked.

"Well, what do you want to know about?" I asked, sipping on my orange juice. I swore no alcohol for tonight. Something might come up tomorrow.

"You were talking about this Jared when we're in Australia. I haven't listened much, I was such a mess that day." Evee swirled the olives on her martini, looking sad. I looked at Hunter and he's looking down at his food. I don't know if he's angry or what because he's just staring at nowhere.

"What were you doing in Australia?" I heard him ask. I looked up at them and Hunter looked confused. Didn't he know about the break up?

"Uhm..." Evee was lost for words. This is the first time I see her, I don't know, scared?

"Do tell, Everly." Hunter's jaw clenched.

"Ryan and I broke up." she eventually spilled. The last time I saw her, there were tears in her eyes but this time, she just looked so lost. "Mum and Dad gave that trip to us as a present but he, uhm, he broke up with me in Australia."

I'm waiting for Hunter to say anything but he's fuming, I can almost see smoke coming out of his nose and ears, if I'm Evee's brother I would feel the same way.
