Torn Between Emotions💘🔥[2020]

Chapter three✨

       •••••The unknown traitor•••••
     
      Mel felt a sharp pain in her head and decided to excuse herself but Gwen held her hand.

"Where are you going?!"

    She felt the sharp pain again. "You carry on Gwen. Nature's calling." Mel found her way to the restroom to freshen up and get herself a little and on coming out, she jumped on seeing a shadow but sighed in relief when she found out it was a man standing against the wall.

"Your friend is beautiful." His male voice stopped her when she has almost passed him halfway and she turned to him in confusion. "I like her. Can you help me out?" He said again, coming out to the light.

"I don't understand you."

"My name's Marco Gerald. What's hers?"

     Mel widened her eyes periodically at the mention of his name and swallowed the lump in her throat, composing herself. He is really more handsome than she'd seen on TV- how could she have not noticed it was him? "I'm so sorry." She apologized, trying to act normal.

"It's okay. I just want to know details about your friend."

"My friend?" Mel was confused all over again.

This was not working. Marco could tell. In that case, he had no choice left but to pretend to be what everyone thought he was. He sucked in an impatient breath. "What important thing of yours do I have to mess with before you stop playing dumb?"

Mel staggered a bit at his threat. "I just want to save you the embarrassment from my friend. She's not as friendly as she appears. At least not to men."

     Marco smirked. "Interesting... So what's her name?" He asked again.

"G-Gwen." Mel replied.

"Gwen," Marco echoed and tilted his head cockily. "I hope we meet again...." He scanned her from head to toe and turned to leave with his hands in his trouser pocket.

"Mine's Mel by the way!" Mel said after him but he did not look back. "Did I just talk to the Marco Gerald?" She clutched her nape and felt her pulse to be sure she was still conscious, breathing frantically. Then Gwen crossed her mind and she sighed, "Gwen will kill me."

     Mel was about to go back in after some minutes when someone bumped into her and to her surprise it was Gwen, and it was looking like she cried?

"Gwen are you OK?" She asked in concern.

"Let's leave this place first. I want to go home."

"At least tell me what's wrong with you."

"I met a jerk worse than Handsome." A tear threatened to fall but Gwen blinked it back.

"That arrogant Marco Gerald! Did he hurt you?" Mel fumed, looking back inside.

    Gwen scoffed at her in disbelief. "It was you?"

     Mel suddenly turned dumbstruck and did not know how to explain to her friend that she was threatened.

"Why did you do that Mel?!"

"I'm sorry. He made threats," Mel explained but Gwen looked so disappointed. "I'm sorry Gwen..." She apologized again.

"Just take me home." Gwen insisted and Mel nodded obediently.

      Marco who was seated beside Khalil could not stop replaying the scene of his embarrassment, with anger clearly visible on his face while he changed his shirt. Khalil on the other hand would not stop laughing at him causing Marco to transfer his aggression at him. "Really man, stop laughing."
