Chapter 17

We were in the car , as Brian drove past the bustling streets of Lyon. He looked as if he knew the way around here. I do know for a matter of fact that Brian grew up in Lyon , but it still stuns me. I have been curious of how he , Spencer and Cynthia were friends ? So not being able to hold my cats in , I asked him.

"How did you meet Spencer and Cynthia?"

" Oh. Spencer was our playdate, you.... I mean he was my playdate when I was a kid . As for Cynthia she was my high school mate. " I nod in response .

" It's hard to approach Spencer with his intimidating aura. "

" You won't be believing me , but when I moved back to Lyon after dad's death for a change of environment for mom, he ended up chasing me here. I asked him why and he was like -' It's pretty boring without you , so here I am . ' . The ridiculous part was we were just in primary . " He chuckles reminiscing the incident.

"That's really hard to imagine . " I laugh as that sounded quite gay. No offence .

"But ,I was relieved when he came. I felt lonely and out of place with the new environment . And had hard time adjusting.  But when he came things became better . " He continued.

The car was filled with a comforting silence as we drive to the place we were supposed to meet. He slows down as we get near average sized restaurant. It wasn't the high end ,classy restaurant you would've imagined, but , a rather normal cozy restaurant. We get off the car and Brian makes his way to my side. His hand stretched out for me to hold them. And with delight I interlink our hands and walk into the restaurant.

A confused looking Cara signals us to the table. We walk towards them. Each one of then adorned a different expression. Spencer was poker faced as usual. Trent had a annoyed face. Cara was looking confused . Cynthia looked quite taken back at the same time not taken back. This women sure does stun me with her visuals. While Kelly was giving us a warm smile as we walked to the table. We settle down with Brian on left and Trent on my right. Cara was sitting opposite to me and had Cynthia to her left and Kelly to her right. And as expected of Spencer he was beside Trent.

Everyone was placing orders and I left the job of deciding my food to Brian. He knows my likes and dislikes since he cooks me meals everyday, a pleasure that only I can enjoy. I feel my phone vibrate and find a text from Cara . Feeling confused , I look at her. She just signals me to check my message.

Cara: what's your husband's ex doing here?

Me : Ex??

Cara : don't tell me you never knew Cynthia was his ex !!!

Me : Uh...No.

Cara and I excahnge few quick glances . Taken back by the newly acquired news , I glance at Brian and find him smiling when our eyes met . I smile back . Wait . He didn't say me that when I asked how he became friends with her nor did her correct me saying they weren't frindds in the past. Makes sense why she had a sad smile when we met today morning. Does she still like him ? Does he also like her back ? Ugh!!! I can't with this . If he still does, I'm definitely gonna have a major heartbreak cause I don't think I can compete with that beauty .

" Is that a photo card of Shinee ?" Cynthia asks pointing at my phonecase.

"Yes, it is . You know Shinee ? " I ask no longer engrossed about the issue I was thinking of.

Kpop is a stress reliever you see . Not that I'm no longer concerned about their past, but it's rude not to answer . And it's rude to be rude when you have no idea about a person. So , I'm just gonna get along with her, just like I do with everyone else .
