An Other Tone For An Other Life

Chapter 5

As soon as I stood up, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the house. His touch was tingling on my skin... But I ignored that. I followed him since I had no choice.

He pulled me through the crowd inside the house and up the stairs. There were still some people in the stairs but nobody upstairs.

We walked through the hallway and I got my wrist out of his grip. He looked at me but didn't say anything.

He then pushed a door that led to a bedroom. We entered and he closed the door behind us. I stood in the middle of the big room and he turned to face me. "Stay here, I'll be right back" he said before walking toward an other door.

I looked around me while waiting for him to come back and saw some stuffs on the bed and things like that. I assumed it was his bedroom when I saw a little pushin sitting on his bed.

So cute. I smiled to myself when I saw that and he then came back from his bathroom. He saw me staring at his pushin and especially, smiling.

"You like my pushin?" he asked and I chuckled. "He is cute" I simply answered, getting my eyes away from what seemed to be a cat.

"Here" he said, handing me two towels. A bigger and a smaller. I guess for hair and body. "If you wanna change your clothes, I can give you something" he said but I shook my head.

"No need" I responded, taking the smaller towel from his hands. He layed the other on his bed and sat there. "So. What happened?" he asked.

"Did you know she was here?" I asked, ignoring his question. "I asked you a question..." he said

"I did too"

"But I did first"

"She pushed me into the pool"

"She forced me to invite her" my eyebrow raised at this "I think you're big enough to tell her no" I said "And I thought you were mature enough to not upset her" he responded and I gasped.

"So you're defending her? What a funny fact! I still wonder why you guys aren't a couple yet! You two look so similar" I said, sarcastically and he rolled his eyes.

"I'm not defending her" he answered and I chuckled "I'm just saying that she wouldn't have pushed you into the pool if you wouldn't have said anything to her" he explained and I sighed "Maybe but I wasn't going to let her talk to me like she was. What happened to her? She really is acting like a bitch"

"Because she is a bitch!" he said and my eye opened wider. I was surprised "So, the second before you defend her and now you're insulting her?" he sighed "I. Wasn't. Defending. Her. I hate her"

Hold on

"You hate her?" I asked "Then what is she doing here?" he sighed again "She has something on me and anytime she wants anything, she threatens me to get it" he began "She wanted to come to the party so I invited her"

Oh. "So, she's blackmailing you?" I said and he nodded.

"I'm gonna dare asking... What does she have on you?" he looked into my eyes with guilty eyes and a look that was telling me I already knew.

No...

"Have you cheated on your girlfriend again?!" I sounded so angrier than I should be. "No! I haven't done it but we've seen each other once and NOTHING happened but she's saying that if I ever tell her no to something she asks me, she is going to lie and say we both slept together and" he began "And bring back up the story with you. The cheating part" he said.

God. "She deserves to go to hell" I said and he looked down.

A little silence took place.

"Romina" he began, slowly, soflty. "Will you ever forgive me?" he asked, looking up into my eyes. I could see how broken he was.
