As expected he was in the balcony.

Dark enough to give privacy but lit enough to see what was going on.

God forbid if he could not see how I crumbled under his ministrations.

He got off on my misery, no... not misery, nothing brought me the ecstasy like his touches.

But he was looking at something else for he did not bat an eye when I reached him. His eyes were murderous. I was worried if he was really plotting someone's murder.

I followed his line of sight.

Jason!

Jesus! I knew Robbie was not happy with our companionship.

This? This was ridiculous and dangerous.

"Robert!"

His eyes darkened more when they met mine and I shivered.

"Oh, I am 'Robert' now! What? Best friend does not like your calling me 'Robbie'?"

His smile was more of a grimace.

"What? Cat got your tongue? Or was that 'your best friend'?" Then he went back watching him.

"He does not get my tongue because he is truly my best friend." I was scared of the way Robbie was looking at him.

Robbie chuckled humourlessly. "Right, cos it is natural and normal for a best friend to bring flowers and hug and kiss and look at you like you handed him the world. WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT?"

I jumped.

"At first I thought you were in that along with him. But my Pretty Little Angel is actually so clueless, so naïve... It is him, isn't it?" His voice dropped a few octaves.

"Robbie, you are wrong. He does not..."

"I DON'T CARE. HE TOUCHED YOU."

I looked around. Thankful everyone was busy with the auction to hear his outburst.

"Lower your voice, please. Stop making a scene."

"Stop making a..." he chuckled... "a scene, you say. Oh, then, you two kissing and hugging in front of a million-dollar enterprise was not making a scene, right?"

"Robbie, please, he is innocent. It was a kiss on a cheek."

"What? Kissing on cheeks is not called kissing?"

"Rob..."

"It is okay, Angel. I got this. You want a best friend? I will be your best friend. I will be anything you want me to be. I got this."

"You can't hurt him." I was panicking. This was ridiculous.

"Watch me. He has nobody. No one will know..."

"HE HAS ME!!! I will know." I was losing it. How dare he!!! If anyone was innocent in this fucked up drama, it was Jason.

I thought I had seen Robbie angry... Oh I never did before!

He was right on my face, his hands gently wrapped around my neck. So soft and careful. He whispered to my ears. "Say that again, Angel."

"I mean it Robbie. He is my best friend, my brother. I will not let you hurt him. I will know if anything happens to him. I will know if he gets a fever. And I will be there to look after him. I will be there to protect him."
