Clementine:
"And exactly when were you going to tell me about it?" I confronted Haiden, tapping my foot on the ground while my hands rested on my waist. My eyes judged him hard, which was why he couldn’t make eye contact with me.
"Come on, I just found out myself. It’s not like I knew days ago," he complained, trying to defend himself.
I had come back to the room, unable to enjoy lunch anymore.
"Messi? Seriously, Haiden? Messi? Do you not know what that guy is like?" I hissed, jumping from one issue to the other. First, I was annoyed he hadn’t told me right away. Second, it was Messi.
I didn’t care how stupid, stern, or rude Mariana was, she still didn’t deserve someone like Messi. He was the worst of the worst.
"You’re talking like I’m the one who fixed their marriage. I only found out after they had everything planned, so let’s just stop it. And why do we care if they get married? I don’t fucking care," he snapped, his tone much harsher.
"I mean, do you even realize what kind of trouble everyone is thrusting Mariana into? Do you know what kind of a guy he is?" I pressed, tilting my head.
"I don’t know. Maybe he’s a bad guy? A playboy? A fuckboy? I don’t care," he replied with a shrug. "These women and their father already made my life hell. I don’t fucking care. I’m not gonna play hero in their eyes," he grunted, making his point clear.
"Fine, then I won’t tell you what he’s capable of." As soon as I said that, he shrugged again.
"Yeah, I don’t really care. I don’t wanna listen to it either," he retorted, leaving me stunned.
I kept staring at his face until he noticed. At some point, he turned to me and sighed, his hands dropping to his sides.
"What is it?" he finally asked, probably getting curious. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Once again, I prepared myself to tell him when the door opened and Fauna barged in. She had no sense of knocking or basic manners. I had never seen anyone so arrogantly stupid and ill-mannered before.
"Seriously, Fauna?" Haiden turned to her, yelling. At this point, I knew Haiden was doing his best to tell her to fuck off. He was rude, inconsistent, and completely ignorant of her feelings. But she didn’t care. She just kept coming back to him, like a magnet.
"They are here. Father wants you to come and welcome them. Come on now," she replied, completely ignoring the fact that he had just yelled at her.
If it were me, I would have yelled back at him for mistreating me or raising his voice. But she deserved it. Because once someone tells you no, it’s a no. And he had said it way too many times already. But she still didn’t care.
He kept staring at her face.
"Come on," she insisted.
"Let’s go," I told him, and I noticed the way he turned and relaxed his muscles.
