Maihua Lee Fanfic - Till Death Do Us Part [Completed]

C h a p t e r S e v e n

I eventually build up the courage to knock on the door. It opens to reveal a man who isn't my dad. Just a stranger I don't know, I look back at Gaonha's car and she's gone. My heart starts to pick up pace and I look back at the man as he just says "You're y/n aren't you?" But then my dad appears from behind him and apologised as he introduced me to him as his mate from work. "I did tell you on the phone I that I had a friend over."
"Oh, uh- I forgot. Sorry."
"It's fine. I also, incase I did ever find you, have a bedroom upstairs for you if you do ever want to stay over."
"Oh I'm um-"
"You don't have to, I don't mean to pressure you but I'm just putting it out there. Do you want to see it anyway?"
"Yeah!" I say while he leads me upstairs.
"It's this one," he says while holding the door open for me, letting me walk right in so I do. I look at the bedroom and it wasn't was I was expecting. I thought it would be girly and pink but it's not that at all. It's got light grey walls and the bedding was a darker grey and with lovely, white, modern wardrobes. It also had a long mirror leaning against a wall and a small, fluffy rug under it. And my favourite was the fairy lights which loosely hung on two of the walls. It also had a few shelves here and there with some books and plant pots on it. "I love it" I simply said.

I lay on the bed as my phone starts vibrating. I pick it up and look at who is calling me ~Maihua 🥺🦋✨♥️~ I smile at he name but then think about what I'll say to her and if I should confront her about the TikTok she posted. I ignore it and let it ring. And ring. And ring. I start to think about it again. I had such a lovely time at our date and what happened later was something else. I feel like such a fool, thinking she was actually interested in me, into me, what was I thinking? I'm not enough for her, she deserves far better than me. Maybe I'll just break up with her and live with my dad. But then again, I promised I wouldn't leave her. God what am I thinking, we both had a drink we didn't actually mean it, well, I did. But I'm not right for her. She deserves someone prettier. I felt my eyes watering so I went to wipe them to find my cheeks completely wet from tears. I had been crying. I then I started to actually cry. I got louder so I grabbed a pillow and buried my face in it, hoping that the short screams in my cry wouldn't catch anyone's attention in the house. After a while, my crying had calmed down a bit and I took my face out of the pillow, looking into the mirror. My mascara had smudged a bit so I got up to go to the bathroom to clean myself. I had found some wipes to take my mascara smudges off. I turn the tap on and place my hands beneath where the cold water was running and then splash a small amount on my face to feel a bit refreshed. As I walk out the bathroom I decide to go downstairs to get a drink. I couldn't see my dad anywhere so I call for him "Dad?" I say as it echoes through the house. "I'm just in my office, I'll be out in five minutes. Do you need something?"
"No, I'll be fine." I reply. I open his fridge to see if he has any orange juice but I find something better; Vodka. I've been meaning to get in touch with my Russian side. Before I get a chance to find a glass and taste it, the doorbell rings. I open the front door, not expecting who was there. "Maihua!"
"At your service."
"What are you doing here?"
"Well you said you were coming to your fathers and you just left so sudden without saying goodbye, I mean. If I'm being honest, I was looking forward to waking up to see you. But you were gone." She said. I mean, she had no idea that I've even seen the TikTok never mind actually knowing I'm upset with it. So I guess she hasn't done anything wrong with coming over, I honestly don't blame her. "Right, yes. You're right and I'm sorry. Do you want to come in?"
"Absolutely" She says, smiling, having no idea how upset I am with her. She walks in, hanging her jacket up on a coat rack "Vodka?" She says confused, pointing at the bottle on the kitchen counter. "Oh, my dad, he- um, I well- It wasn't for me if that's what you were wondering."
"Sure."
"Anyways, do you want to come up to my room?" I ask her as a smile forms on her face
"Lead the way" She says bright eyed as I head for the stairs. Once we get into my room she takes a minute to admire it and then walks over to me, sending butterflies to my stomach. She places both her hands on my waist and leans in to kiss me but I pull back. I had automatically done it without thinking, I just couldn't kiss her after I saw her post this morning. Especially since I feel like I'm being used for her social platform and for attention and clout.
"Hey, hey." She took a step back, acknowledging that I was uncomfortable. She lifts her hand to my face and gently strokes my cheek with the back of her hand. "Are you okay?" She asks as I really didn't know how to tell her I wasn't, so I didn't "I'm fine" I say but she could see through it. "No you're not. It's okay, you can tell me."
"No, really. It's nothing, just forget about it." I say, unsure of how to manage the situation. There's a short moment of silence before she breaks it "What have I done?"
"W-what do you mean..." I say "...it's nothing to do with you." I carry on, trying to sound convincing. "Yes it is, it's something I've done. First of all, it's the first time you've opened the door to me and haven't blushed, not only that but you didn't even look happy to see me" she was saying as I was fiddling with my hands that were starting to sweat. "There was then the bottle of Vodka on the kitchen counter and when I asked about it you got nervous and last of all, I'm not blind, I can see mascara smudges on your pillow and you haven't done a good job at getting it off your eyes either." She said, as I knew I couldn't really hide from it anymore so I just plonked myself on the mattress. She sat down too, beside me. "Look, you can tell me what it is, I only want to make you happy and seeing you sad hurts me. Especially knowing that I'm the one making you feel like this just makes me feel like fucking shit. So please, tell me." She says. And I don't know how to tell her exactly so I just pull my phone out and go on the tiktok she posted of me and her and just show her but before I got the chance to say anything, she does first. "Where did you get that!?!" She immediately says as she's trying to act innocent "You posted it, on tiktok, remember? You recorded yourself teasing me and posted it without asking for my permission or anything!!" I say, angrily.
"What!" She says in shock, trying to hide the fact she already knew "What do you mean what!? I'm not stupid, you're just using me for clout and atte-"
"No y/n, I'm not! Please! Listen to me! I have nothing to do with this! Yes, my phone was recording when you walked in but- I- I didn't post it!" She says, almost rushing through her words, I almost believed her. But then again, she's a good fucking actress. "No you're lying! Why! Why are you lying to me!? You know what you did! You're not getting out of this! I'm not going to let you use me and make me look like a fool!"
"Y/N! I would never do that!! You know that!! I've told you about other girls cheating on me and using me!! What, in hell, would make you think I'd do that huh!! Y- you think I'm a fucking player?! Is that it!! Or- Or that I'd use you for attention huh!? Tell me! Tell me!" She was saying, almost shouting but not in a trying to make me upset or threaten me kind of way. Just one to make me understand her point of view. She carried on "Why would I ever do that to you?" She says, really emphasising the 'ever'. I didn't know how to react, she seemed like she was saying the truth and to be honest, I knew she was. I know that she would never use anybody or lie to someone she's with. But I still had doubts. "Who posted it then?" I said to her, trying to hold back my anger and tears in my eyes. "If you didn't post it then who did? Am I supposed to believe it's some ghost?"
"I don't know! I don't-, I don't know." She says, looking down at the floor slightly confused. She was very believable. I found it hard to think she was lying. "You know what? Let's get back to the condo, and ask everyone there. Now, I know my sister, Niki and James wouldn't have posted it but maybe they saw something, I dunno. Maybe- uh, maybe the Beemo walked on my phone and it accidentally got posted. I- I really don't know." She says, again in confusion. But I actually thought about that. If it was actually the cat "And if that was the case. The cat walked on it. How can it fucking spell huh? 'She's just a friend'. I wonder if the cat typed it?" I then said to her. "I'm- I'm- I- I dunno. But please y/n, please believe me. I had nothing to do with it. I just saved it as a draft for us to look back on an- and I didn't even type a caption in. Please, please believe me. I would never do this to you. Never" she then says, causing me to just give up "Okay, I believe you. Let's just get home." I say, my voice almost strained. I was just tired. The day wasn't over yet though, it was only 4:55pm yet it felt as though it was time to go to bed. We called an Uber to come pick us up and we both just jumped in the back of it, tired. I rested my head on her shoulder and fell asleep for the rest of the short ride.
