FORTY
“When Kyla was in the US we became lovers, we live together to be exact, we’re happy not until Vince and Ashley came. The two are fubu that time if you know what I mean.”
“FUBU?” I saw him stare at me seriously and shook his head.
“Fuck Buddy,” he answered.
“What the fuck is that word?” I asked while laughing like a stupid. Because seriously, just now I heard that fucking word. “Anyway continue,” I commanded him to continue his fucking storytelling that sounds interested.
“But Vince met Agatha because she was visiting Ashley’s unit. They fell in love with each other and they were honestly happy, not until I caught Vince and Kyla. Out of anger, I told Agatha everything, sympathized with her, and brought her what I had discovered. In revenge, we did the same thing as they did.”
“You had sex?”
“Yeah!” I don’t know how to react. This is the first time that I heard that two people fuck without a relationship. Well, I know Kyla did the same way before, but—–come on, maybe because I wasn’t like them so I cannot understand them.
“Fuck, it’s that easy for you to have sex without love?”
“For me yes, that’s for fun, Ley. Besides, it happens everywhere so don’t act like your a virgin.” I beat him because of what he said.
“Hey! at least I am proud that my stupid ex was the only man fuck me.”
“Well, good for you. But until when?”
“What?” I asked while my forehead furrowed.
“Nothing,”
“So, Agatha agreed that means she doesn’t love Vince?”
“Agatha loves Vince, and that asshole was her first. But because she’s mad, she wants to get revenge.” So he tried to protect Agatha huh!
“So, Kyla and Agatha met before?”
“Nah! Kyla and I live somewhere else.”
“Did Vince love Agatha?” I ask.
“As far as I know, yes. But not as deep as for his first love.”
“Is it Kyla?”
“Nope, he didn’t tell me who, but that woman was the reason why he couldn’t take others seriously. Except for Agatha,” he explained.
“Does Ashley knows about Vince and Agatha? Because you said they were FUBU,”
“Yup and Ashley didn’t take it seriously. Because she is not serious to any guy, she doesn’t love Vince, she must be attracted, but not that deep.”
“Asher knows?”
“You’re deaf Hailey, arent you listening? That’s why he opened it earlier, isn’t it?”
“Ow! He’s mentioning you and his sister. Fuck, the mess of your sex life. It is like you are the remaining person in the World and you have to fuck each other to regain humanity”
“Ehem!” William’s attention was distracted.
“Are you a virgin, Will?”
“What?” he asks angrily.
“I asked if you are a virgin?”
“Coming from a mouth of a woman asking a man if he is a virgin? Have shame please.” Even though his voice is at ease, I feel he is annoyed.
“Whew! If you will start to fuck, you will be like your brother who had sex with everyone.
“That won’t happen,” Will replied in annoyance.
“He’s loyal to your sister,” Eugene said, teasing his brother.
“Eugene!” Will’s rebuke.
I laughed while hearing them teasing each other. They talked a lot but I didn’t listen to them. I want to sink in my mind everything Eugene had said. So, they all met in the US, how sweet, mess, pathetic, and excited their lives were. But I am not jealous.
They stop talking and when I look around I notice that we’re already home.
Eugene helps me to get down.
“Ley where have you been? You just said you will talk to your guests and you disappeared suddenly. And see yourself, you go out like that?” Hera scolded me.
“This is the new trend. By the way, can you talk to William for a moment? He said he wants to ask you something.” Will was obviously embarrassed as he bent down while holding his head.
“What do you need William?” Hera asked him angrily.
“Hey, is that how you talk to your guest?” I rebuked her. “Will, come down and talk to my sister.”
“Tss!” she just said then looked badly at Will while going out at the car.
“Anyway, I’ll go inside, you want to stay here?” I ask Eugene.
“Yeah, I will be here inside the car and wait, William,” he answers and we both look at the two who now seriously talking.
“Ok, bye,”
And I go straight inside the house.
I was surprised when I saw daddy talking to a visitor. The back of the person he was talking to was familiar but I ignored it. I was about to go straight up when he called me.
“Hailey,” he shouted so I stopped.
“Yes, dad?” TSS!
“Come,” I didn’t want to come because I still looked like I was from the evacuation center. But I have no choice and I don’t want to disobey him. I was surprised to see who his visitor was. It was Hunter he was talking to.
Hunter smiled at me which is I give a fake smile.
What is he doing here?
“Where did Eugene Taylor take you?” dad asks as I have swallowed my saliva.
Wow! He mentions Eugene’s name as if someone in front of him cares.
“In a secluded place, we hid in the grass.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Hailey!” dad scold me in a lower tone. Why? that is true, we hid in the grass to spy on Vince.
“Yeah dad, that’s where we came from. Eu just wants extreme adventure as he took me away without warning,” I said and look at Hunter, “Ow! hi Hunter, you here, how are you?”
“I’m good,” he replied simply.
“Good for you too,” I said but at the back of my mind, I want to laugh.
“Hunter and I are talking about the business. He planned to invest in Kyla’s dad’s pond. Maybe they can make up for the death of his shrimp and milkfish last month.”
“Ah, ok,” What if I will them that Eu and I poured poison into Ky’s Dad’s five fishponds. But of course, I won’t admit it. I also won’t admit that we started that gang war to burn down Kyla’s boutique.
“We put it under your name.”
“What?”
What did Daddy say? my name is on the investor’s list?
“Hailey,” Hunter called me so I looked at him. “Your dad and I decided to put it under your name as one of the investors. “You and me, to be exact.”
I raised my eyebrow at what Hunter said.
“What does this mean Hunter, we’re Annulled, right? So what’s the purpose that you’re going to invest under my name?” He looked at dad and then at me.
“Because you still have money for me, remember? I wanted to give it to you but daddy Zacharias refused and said that instead of giving it to you. I’ll just put it in an investment. Is there something wrong, Ley?”
‘Something wrong with your face, asshole. Eat that money or put it to Kyla’s pussy cause both of you are an asshole.’
“There is, first, you and I are already annulled. That means we are no longer family and we have no longer a legal connection. Second, I don’t want to involve in your life Hunter. If it wasn’t because of your sister I wouldn’t be talking to you anymore.”
“Ley,” I put my hands up to dad as a sign that I surrender. But that doesn’t mean I’ll stop talking.
“Dad, what I said was just to continue the transaction that the Lewis and Amaranth family started. But I didn’t say that you should unite for me. Please, don’t include me in your conversations or any plans because I don’t want to have any connection with Hunter—-” Then I look at Hunter, “Anymore, I’m done with you,”
At once I turned my back on them. I heard dad call me, but I didn’t listen.
No way, over my delicious body. I will no longer get involved with Hunter.
Not now,
Not ever,
And I meant it.
