Differences

Chapter 16

~Sid~

"So I'm engaged. Isn't it good?" Emily said in her nasal, whiny voice and showed me her left hand where a ruby stone sat on a platinum band. She was one of my exes. Well actually she was the only ex. But we ended on good terms.

"Yeah it's great. So who is the lucky person?" I asked hesitantly.

"Oh it's Michelle over there in that black dress." She said, pointing to a blonde witch. I knew she was a witch because her eyes were lilac and also because she had unnaturally bright skin. But my eyes searched for Ashley in the crowd, but she was nowhere to be found.

I turned to Emily. "I'm happy for you. I really am. But I gotta run now. Ok? Bye."

"Ok bye." She gave me quick hug and sprinted over to her fiancée. They both made out and I think they literally pushed their tongues into each other's throats. Okay gross.

Then I noticed Ashley's drink was left unattended on the table. I knew it was hers because her favourite and only drink was whiskey on the rocks. I ordered a neat scotch on the rocks and carried both of them, looking for Ashley. Old memories of this place were starting to resurface. I had a fight here back in '14. I chuckled at thought and also when I saw a black mark on the wall. It was long back but it was still there.

I decided that the next moment I saw her I would be honest to her about my feelings and ask her out. I smiled at the thought of me and Ashley being together and continued my search for Ashley.

Ashley~

"Wanna go somewhere else?" He whispered huskily in my ear. I looked at Sid one last time and turned to him to give him a nod. He smiled seductively and took my hand, leading me to towards the back of the club. He led me through a dimly lit corridor where couples were all up in each other's pants. They were literally humping and sticking their throats into each other's throat. I saw a man kissing, just kissing a woman passionately. I wondered how Sid's lips felt like when I was kissing him. His blue eyes, dark hair, perfect muscles and chiselled jaw. That wasn't even the best part. He had a soft and kind heart and also he was innocent. That way I could tease him and claim him.

I was jerked away from my thoughts when Jagdish pinned me against the wall. I was about to tell him off, when I suddenly realised I couldn't move my hands and my feet. I tried to move but couldn't. I looked at him angrily but he just smirked and crashed his lips onto mine. I didn't want to kiss him but I couldn't pull away. He had this over me.

Sid~

I turned around the corner to see her kissing some random guy from the club just when I was about to tell her about my feelings. I looked away and took a deep breath. My heart wrenched at the sight of her kissing another guy. My feelings for her were real. I would do anything to make her happy. I looked at them kissing again. She seemed pretty happy. Maybe the best way to make her happy was to let her go and hide my feelings. There only feelings. I mean I could get over them. Right?

I must've made a sound or something because they pulled apart and looked at my direction. I quickly hid behind the wall. I had no idea how I was going to face Ashley. I quickly walked towards the bar, placed the drinks on the table and some cash and made my way towards the exit. I pushed open the doors forcefully and stormed out on to the road. I could walk home. I didn't need her.

I heard Ashley calling out my name but I only hastened my pace. But due to her vampire speed she caught up with me effortlessly and stood in front of me, blocking my path. I tried to walk around her but she blocked my path again. I blew out a breath and crossed my arms at her. "What do you want?" I spat coldly at her.

"I can explain Sid." She said cautiously.

"No you don't. You like that guy and not me. End of story. I just need to be alone right now." I said angrily and tried to walk around her but she gripped my wrist firmly to stop me. I turned in my heels and glared at her. I raised an eyebrow. I turned my wrist in her grip and pulled it away, finally being free. I started to walk away from her when she called out,

"See that's where you're wrong Sid. I don't like him. I like you. Only you." I froze and turned to look at her.
