What are you doing here?” I asked Veronica, the moment we entered the car.
“I came to keep you company of course. She replied with a smile that only made me want to leave her sight.

“How did you know I was here? So you now follow me around?” The anger in my voice could be heard and she coiled at it.
“Toverheard you talking about a party with Fleur and 1 figured your’d be lonely so I decided to come keep you company. She replied, her voice and explanation didn’t help with the anger I felt.
“I thought you said we were cool! Why do you look so pissed about my coming? Did you have something else in mind? Besides, I should be the one pissed not you. You didn’t tell me you were going to see that bitch and you went all alone. What was your intention” She asked with suspicion
written all over her face.
Veronica was right, if I felt the same way about her, she was right. I shouldn’t have gone for the party all alone but things were not the same any longer and I can’t tell her that yet
I can’t
it go through another round of nagging tonight, I’ve had enough already.
“I didn’t tell you because I know how agitated she makes you and I only went because her grandmother invited me. I wanted to honour it. Nothing more. I explained rather quickly.
“And you’ve got to stop following me to places where you’re not invited. What if they had thrown you out at the party? It would have been a big shame” I said with concern on my face but she smiled sheepishly.
“Have you forgotten who you are? The biggest Business Mogul in the city, everyone knows I am your girlfriend so the moment I told them I was with you, they recognised me immediately and open the gate with a bow.”
She seemed to be enjoying this
ds but the
that was none of my business
“Just don’t do this next time, I don’t want you walking around late at night. It doesn’t speak well.” I replied, short of words to say,
I caught Fleur staring occasionally at me through the rear view mirror but I was too pissed to act okay and pretend like I always have.
I needed to vent to him this one time but Veronica chose this time to be with me like this night hasn’t gotten worse enough.
But Veronica wasn’t done yet
“I saw the way you looked at her, are you catching feelings or something?” She continued her endless questions.
I was already having a headache, the events of the night were too much already. I shut my eyes and rubbed my forehead, I ignored her but she continued
“Oh I see, were you looking at her because of her shape? Or because she has because more beautiful? Is she more beautiful than me? Is she now looking more attractive than me? She questioned in one breath.
I was losing it, but I kept my calm.
Yes she’s more beautiful and attractive than you could ever be, I thought.
Want, what!! Did 1 just think that? I was supposed to be madly in love with Veronica, but here I am thinking about my ex wife.
“Answer mell” She scre
The headache was increasing with each passing
“Dove faster HeurTM I muttered. Heard Fleur sigh as he increased the specil.
Soon we weer luomar, I came out of the car
ciu straight to my room. I made sure to triple lock the door, to avoid Veronica’s whims

I sighed as I thought of tonight. My blood loded as I remembered seeing her and Terry together. My long tim sen eye to eye. The thought him touching her toessed with my head.
1 angrily pune lard wall and my but bird, but I didn’t care. I thought about the blue eyed kid, her son. If I didn’t always make sure that she avoided getting pregnant. I would have thought the child was mine.

I could see a resemblance to me, but I could also see a resemblance to Terry. His up were shaped like Terry’s. Any time we had s*x. I would always made sure she takes contraceptive pills to avoid any chances of her getting pregnant, so the child couldn’t be mine.
She didn’t even look like one who had given birth, she had become more curvier and looked even younger and dazzling. I had looked at her finger and hadn’t seen any ring to show that she was married. All these confused me the more..
Who would have thought that I will be so affected like this by her. I tried to get her off my head but it wasn’t working. I heard a knock on my door. but I ignored it. The knock persisted, but I didn’t move an inch from where 1 was.
It was probably Fleur, because if it was Veronica, she would have made her presence known by her yelling
“You messed things up yourself, Quinn.” I heard him say
“I’m telling you this not as your personal assistant but your friend, you hurt her bad. You might not love her as at then, but you should have treated her better. Anybody in her shoes would have probably reacted worse. I’m off.” He said.
He left, and everywhere was silent. I sat in the dark, not bothering to switch on the lights. His words rang in my head “You should have treated her
better
I walked towards the mini bar and grabbed two bottles of Glenfiddich alcohol 1 gulped one, despite knowing how powerful the alcohol was. My alcohol tolerance was quite high, it would take 3 to 4 bottles Glenfiddich before I could get drunk.
I finished the two and went to get
more. I drank in all, glass by glass hoping to clear my head of the thought of her. I laid on the bed, wasted.
