I BLINKED and quickly wiped the falling tears from my eyes.
“Dude? What the—” Jeff barely finished what he was supposed to say when he turned to look at me.
I glanced at Hannah who was right next to him. She looks surprise too, she also looks back and forth between me and Rexon.
“Cherry!” Jeff finally came inside, so I cleared my throat and tried to paint a smile.
“We’ve been looking for you for a while, Hannah was allegedly followed you down.” Jeff hit the elevator up to the 50th floor.
It’s too late to protest because the lift is going up again.
“How are you? Why are you here?” Jeff kept looking at me.
I glanced at Rexon for a moment who was now talking to Hannah on the left side of the elevator.
I chose not to answer Jeff’s question so that the conversation would not continue. Infact is not healthy to talk about the issue here.
The elevator was too small for me to hear what Rexon and Hannah were talking about right behind us.
“I’ve been looking for you for a while. Peter is on their way together with Briggette.”
I didn’t hear Rexon answer so I just let out a heavy sigh. When the elevator opened they came out one by one while I stayed inside.
“Oh, aren’t you coming with us?” Jeff asks.
I glanced at Rexon again. His eyes were so dark. If before there were glitters there now I see nothing.
“Ah, not anymore. My flight is early tomorrow.” I was about to hit the elevator when Hannah spoke.
“Come join us, It’s my birthday today. I would also like to know you more.” She’s smiling at me softy.
I turned my gaze to Rexon one last time but Jeff immediately pulled my wrist. Without hesitation he drove me as I crossed the hallway toward Rexon’s unit.
The sounds was quite loud when we entered his suit. Jeff left me for a moment to head to the dining table where Skye and Zach were drinking. I remained standing looking around the living room.
I notice a big change in the house. The former white and gray paint has been replaced with black but only minimal.
The other part is still smeared with white paint. There are also some portraits of him on the wall and the only thing left is his portrait with his half naked.
I looked straight into his closed room where I first saw him enter. I bit my lower lip, has anything changed in there? What did he change after we broke up?
“Hannah, this is for you and to a lovely woman beside you.” Jeff even winked at me before handing over the cocktail juice he was holding.
“Thanks, Jeff!” Hannah, muttered.
He turned to me and smiled slightly. I raised the cocktail glass I was holding before drinking.
“You can’t just stand there, come on!” I was so shocked when he grabbed my wrist to pull inside the dining are where Skye and Zach was there.
“Wooah! The sexiest model and the sweet and charming doctor in town is in the house!” Skye muttered.
He kissed my cheek, just like Zach did to me afterwards.
“I can’t believe I’ll see you here together?” There was a lace of sarcasm that Zach said before shaking his head.
Jeff punched him on the shoulder before turning to me, “Don’t pay attention to him he’s just drunk.”
“Of course, there’s nothing wrong with what he said.” Hannah grabbed what I had to say.
I glanced at her right in front of me. Her smile grew ever more pronounced. Again he lifted the cocktail glass he was holding at me.
“Hey, where’s your girlfriend? You didn’t include her in?” Jeff, who seemed to want to deprive Zach.
“They had a girls night out last night together with Larabelle.” Zach shake his head.
“Why don’t you invite them in?” Hannah suggest.
Zach quickly snatched the cellphone out of his pocket and stood up. Later, he’s now talking to Clara on the phone. When the call was dropped, his smile was within reach.
“Don’t you say Jaffs and Terry are included?”
“They’re on their way, too.” he answered.
I glanced at Hannah again while talking to Skye who was next to her.
I admit she more beautiful than close up. Her long chocolate hair is cascaded down her shoulder. Wearing a white long sleeve polo V-neck style the contour on the chest gives it a unique aura. Her lips are also very red not because of the lipstick but because of the very natural color. Her pointed nose and red cheeks give her a satisfying look of an angel.
I blinked when I heard the buzzer ring. I looked down at the cocktail I was holding as Hannah stood up to open the door.
“Peter, Briggette!” I heard her greetings to newcomers.
If I’m not mistaken he’s the singer who always sang together with Rexon at the Resto-bar. Her aura is very different now because of she is wearing a floral dress and simple make-up.
“Hi, Cherry!” She waved at me after they were sitting on the sofa there.
Hannah served them a food and drinks before she headed back to our table.
“Where’s Rex?” Peter asked.
“Looks like he’s fall asleep in the bedroom. Go Hannah, wake him up!” Skye’s pointed the close door.
The pile of nuts flew quickly over Skye’s head when Jeff threw him at my side.
“You idiot! She might not get out of there,” said Jeff who laughed with Skye and Zach.
I lowered my head down and smiled a bit. Damn why does that joke bring me so much pain? Of course, Cher. You’re his ex. Why you still have a face to come here after all?
“What it Cherry could?” Zach’s comment.
I quickly raised my head to them. The smile slowly faded from Skye’s lips before shrugging.
“She now Nicholas girl, don’t force her to do that!” Zach glanced at me meaningfully.
I swallowed hard. Great! The news about Nicholas is made a huge impact to Zach and Skye. I want to get up and just go.
“Past is past, let Cherry enjoy the night, cheers!” Jeff sat down to finish the conversation.
“All right, Hannah, you come in! Maybe he’s already asleep.” Skye again.
Hannah suddenly stood up and sipped the glass first.
Skye and Zach even shouted to cheer her up while Jeff was just shaking beside me.
“Higher the volume, please!” Hannah laughed at Zach’s command, who immediately obeyed to amplify the sound of their sound trip.
I was so bitten on the lip as she walked towards Rexon’s closed door. He didn’t knock anymore and went straight into his room.
It was there that I withdrew my gaze to the closed door. I ignored the cocktail that was in my glass. Instead because I pulled out Jeff glass of vodka and consume it till the last drop.
“Woooah! I like the spirit!” Skye re -translated the empty glass.
With my eyes closed. I again stared at the contents of the glass that had drawn in my throat. Damn! Don’t be jealous, Cher!
Jeff stayed silent at my side. Nor did not attempt to stop my third glass.
“Looks like you already have a lot of that, right?” Peter took Hannah’s place and pulled out another chair for Brigette.
“We’ve just started,” Jeff replied.
“Is Dawson not going?”
“Maybe not, but Lara belle is on the way here with Clara, ” Zach answered.
He just nodded at before turning his attention to me.
“Hi! You must be Cherry? I’m, Peter and I heard a lot about you.” He held out his hand to me which I immediately reached out.
“Nice to meet you, Peter!” I awkwardly said. I glanced at Brigette who was also smiling at me.
“What took them so long, huh?” Asked Skye curiously but with lace of devilish smile.
“That bastard. Don’t he even try to touch Hannah!” There seemed to be a joking tone but I knew Peter was serious in what he said.
“Just relax. That’s why I higher the volume of the sound?” Skye laughed as he was really hit by alcohol.
“Stupid, slow it down!” Peter’s elbow him.
He obeyed Peter’s command and they listened quietly, but we never heard anything.
“What are you waiting for?” The voice of Rexon appears.
They quickly raised their heads to Rexon, followed by Hannah with a wide smile.
