Rosaline saw William squinting at her as she made her way back from the restroom. She merely glanced at him, furrowed her beautiful brows, and ignored him.
Somehow, this made William smile. He walked up to her and tried to start a conversation.
“Hey, got a minute?”
“And may I ask why you would need it?”
William felt rather awkward at the distance and indifference in her cold voice. He tried hard to understand why he is so bothered about the probability of her being underage.
“Well, I just want to say sorry and thank you.” He replied confidently without any awkwardness.
“It does not matter,” Rosaline said with a sigh.
“Can I ask you something rather inappropriate?” William decided to bite the bullet.
“Why would you ask it, if you already know it’s inappropriate?” Rosaline retorted with raised eyebrows.
“Maybe I’m just selfish”
“…” Rosaline was speechless and that made William smile.
“How old are you?” Rosaline could see the nervousness and expectation in his black eye under the dim light.
“Excuse me?” Rosaline frowned.
Before she could retort, she saw a pair of grey eyes staring daggers at her from behind William.
Rosaline leaned towards William which surprised him a lot, but he was soon intoxicated by the faint scent of lemon coming off her. While he was still in a daze, he heard Rosaline ask something which brought him back to earth.
Rosaline saw the grey eyes turn murderous when she leaned towards William, she questioned him with a smile that looked flirtatious from afar.
“Is that your ex behind you staring daggers at me? Big eyes, tall most likely 5’’4’, fair round face, sharp nose, plump lips, big breasts most likely c-cup, lean legs.”
She glanced at him and smiled. The faint smell of musk coming off him made her gulp, but she ignored it and focused on the troubles piling one after the other.
From afar, it looked like they are hugging and kissing when she turned her face at him.
William came back to his senses and said, “Not sure about the breasts and legs, but that’s most likely Supriya.”
William smiled, and held her waist, and turned her over leaning towards her, their faces barely a few inches apart, which made their act rather real. Rosaline was flabbergasted.
‘What’s up with this group of people? How the hell did I offend them’, Rosaline cursed them in her mind, but she continued the act.
William was greatly amused by her suppressed rage and fake smile. Having glanced at the girl while turning her over, he had confirmed her identity, so he continued before she lost her temper.
“Also, I don’t have any girlfriend or an ex. And yeah, she is Supriya.” William sighed, “I think you might be in trouble. I’m really sorry.”
“Damn! Should have checked my horoscope before leaving the house”, Rosaline cursed, still maintaining her smile and ruse.
“Aren’t you going to let me go?” Rosaline asked as she realized she was still in his arms.
“Tell me your age?” William asked again. ‘Why the hell does it bother me so much? And why on earth do I want to continue holding her? William frowned internally but did not let her go.
“I don’t think that’s necessary. We might never see each other again.” Rosaline retorted.
“How about we make a deal? If we meet again, tell me your age.”, William bargained.
“Fine!” Rosaline said as she just wanted to cut the conversation short and leave.
William inched closer to her and tilted his head sideways, covering Supriya’s view so it looked like they were kissing.
Rosaline wanted to bite him thinking she was being used. William’s smile became wider looking at her exasperated face.
Rosaline stepped on his feet heavily before she left without a backward glance after William lets her go.
William, from the corner of his eyes, looked at Supriya’s face which was burning red from rage, and had a bad feeling about it.
He knew she may cause trouble for the underage girl. But this time he vowed to settle all old and new accounts with her.
