Promiscuous (Who's the slut?)

Chapter Twenty

If I could just scratch her eyes out at that minute I would have done it without hesitation.

I hate her kind. Oh... So, I should loathe myself, too.

"Ohh... Really?"

"Hasn't he informed you?"

"Only important things... why do you think he left that one out? Engagements are of significance, too." I said wickedly, sardonically. I wouldn't be good at being good. Haha.

I saw her face turned red in a controlled anger.

"You should respect your future sister-in-law."

"What are you..."

"Tracy?" They turned around to see the handsomest man on earth. Sarcastically speaking, he's not that hollywood star gorgeous. I was sourgraping, so what?

It was too late for me to avoid seeing the touching scene unfold before my very eyes.

Tracy lunged herself into Rave-y baby's arms. She kissed him.

I turned my back on the two of them. My eyes slitted in fury. Why should I? Maybe because I just don't like her. I went inside the room and locked the door. I punched the pillow to vent some of my irritation. I was breathing heavily when I'm through with it.

My phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I tried to hid the frustration in my voice.

"Hey, pumpkin... is there something wrong?" I calmed myself before answering, I didn't want to worry Riel. It was so petty of me to feel this way.

"Naaah, so..."

"I just wanted to remind you about the launching of my art exhibit tomorrow night. Be my date?"

"Oh... yeah, I haven't forgotten..." Goodness. It left off my mind.

"Yeah... You haven't remembered. I know you so well, pumpkin." He said teasingly.

"I... well, there's no sense in denying huh? I've just.. had so many things in my mind." My tone was apologetic. How could I forget that? Riel is a very good painter.

"Been too preoccupied, eh? Should I be... jealous?" There was a pause.

"Of course not! You're my one and only ... err," I was looking hard to find the word that fitted our relatioship. But found none.

I could sense him smiling. "You really know how to make me smile. I just wish it could be love the next time I hear that from you."

"I've heard the news about Laina's friend."

I sighed. "Caroline, oh... I haven't visited her yet. Maybe later."

I sighed. Somebody harrumphed behind me. I arched my brow just by seeing this guy leaning on the door casually. So where's the anaconda?

Our eyes met. I'd no idea how long it lingered.

"Pumpkin.. are you listening?"

"Huh?" I hadn't heard any word Riel was saying. Dammit.

I heard him sigh. "What if I say I love you? God, all the while I'm chattering here and you're mind is wandering off somewhere. Should I be insulted?"

A wicked idea crossed my mind. I looked at Rave.

"I love you, too Riel. You know that. Okay gotta go now. See you tomorrow." I just clicked my mobile phone. I was guilty for using Riel like that.

I saw the fleeting anger in Rave's expressionless face. It was masked, however was it just an illusion on my part? He straightened up and walked toward me slowly.
