The Bestfriend [R18+ on going]

Chapter 16

-INTOXICATED-

Raven's POV

It's my eight time turning and tossing on my own bed. The once neat and straight bed sheet is now crumpled by my body. My tired eyes are wide awake and my chest is rising up and down by the heavy breaths I'm making.

I can't sleep even tho I closed my eyes, I still can't. Her image is troubling me to the core. I followed her to her home and I didn't expected what I saw.

*Flashback*

Looking at her intently, enjoying the uneasiness in her face inside my car, I smirked. Karina is standing outside the hotel while clinging on her bag. She's looking at my way but too bad she can't see me.

Resting my chin on the steering wheel, I kept my intense gaze at her as she shifted uncomfortably on her feet but she never dared to broke away the staring contest. It seems like she knows someone is inside the car.

Then moments later, a cab pulled in front of her and she rushed to get in not knowing that I followed her.

Turning right, keeping my distance unnoticeable. The cab pulled over an small apartment then Karina went out but not before paying the cab as she started to get inside the house.

I felt like I'm a stalker but following her a bit won't cause trouble, right?
And why the fuck am I following her? Damn, nevermind. For the past years, I really never searched her. I tried but I can't find her despite the connections I have, so I just assumed that she's really far away and gone for good but here she is, in the place where my mom grew up. Who would have thought that all this time we're in the same city.

I drove a bit closer to her apartment but not enough for her to notice and my eyes widened as I saw her just outside the door, picking up some clothes while an older lady is looking down at her. I can't hear what she's saying but it seems like she's scolding Karina and I felt the sudden need to protect her but, why would I?

I clenched my fist on the steering wheel while glaring at their direction and my jaw clenched when the lady kicked the remaining clothes that's scattered on the floor away. Damn, who does she think she is to do something like that to her? And again, why am I feeling angry? Simple, because Karina is my fucking prey. Yes, that's the reason why I'm angry. No one have the right to make her suffer other than me.

I was about to open the car to give the lady a lesson when Karina stood back up, her clothes on her hands as she said something to the lady who's glaring at her and after a minute the lady let her in.

Come to think of it, I wonder where's Aunt Rina and Uncle Kaiser. They should be there.

Picking up my phone, I dialed Shawn's number and it didn't took too long for him to pick it up.

[Yes bro?] He questioned as I looked at the apartments direction and cleared my throat.

"Can you search some– nevermind." Shawn tried to say something but I already ended the call.

Maybe, she's just trying to be independent. Damn rich kiddo, she's too spoiled that she can't even take care of herself. Good thing, she still managed to survive on her own. Maybe she's just trying to prove that she can do things alone when the truth is she can't. My my Karina, what are you doing?

*End of flashback*

Heaving a deep sigh, I closed my eyes again trying to sleep as I lie on my bed without shirt on then moments later I fell on my deep slumber with Karina's crying face on my mind.
