Chapter 20
Fleur
e entrance and then
I packed the car after dropping Quinn off at the entrance then proceeded to scan the venue.
It was crowded and it made it more interesting. There was no need to go in search of Quinn, he’d call me when he needed me.
Besides, he was on a mission to find his ex that had never left his mind.
A lot of things are crazy but I think it’s crazy to mistreat an innocent person for no actual reason and then begin to develop feelings for her after sending her out of your life
Quinn had done a lot of crazy things since my years with him but this craziness was on another level.
My warnings back then fell on deaf ears but now, he wants to get close to her and act like nothing happened between them.
I stopped at one of the stores to get an ice cream, the sun was smiling brightly.
After the first round of ice cream. I decided to hop onto one of the games. I was still on duty so I didn’t want to get soaked with sweat from running around so I chose a reasonable game.
One that let me stand on a spot and throw little sharp arrow–like objects to a target on the wall and try to hit the center of the target.
It was fun and people cheered for me while I showed off my skills but after some minutes of throwing and throwing, my hands began to ache and I decided to keep myself busy with something else and that was when I saw the painting section where children went to get their face painted for free
I stood there admiring the perfect paintings of different animals and cartoon characters that the
e artists drew
A mother with two kids wanted to go to the other side of the park and they needed to pass before me and it made me step back a linde, stepping on the leg of the person behind me.
“Shit! I cursed inwardly before voicing a
“Oops, I’m sorry” I turned to meet the person who I had stepped on then I realized that it was Anastasia.
My heart almost jumped out of my chest but I fought hard to control myself.
“You’re here!” I managed to ask and she let out a smile.
Her smile was so innocent and beautiful that I got lost looking at her..
At her beautiful facial
ial features. She got me in a chokehold
“Fleur!” She called out
the tingles hearing the way she
pronusmred my name.
was so gentle and soothing
I had to say something, anything to keep the conversation going and not make her think that I was lost in her beauty.
it’s nice to i
nice to see you again. You look………..so beautiful. Wow”
“what was I saying for Pete’s sake!!
1 spewed rubbish from my mouth. There’s no way she’s not going to find out that I was lost by her beauty.
Thank you” She replied with a smile. Again with the smile.
It was hard to know if she caught onto something with her smal
ay I felt about her, it wasn’t right to feel this way about someone wlio’s affiliated with my best friend.
I thought that what I felt for her was out of pity when she was sull married to Quinn but seeing her after three years now, I know that it was no pity.
“You’re welcome! I replied and furrowed my brows slighaly.

Chapter 20
This mess would’ve been prevented if it wasn’t for that jerk who’s so full of himself.
If only he loved her and treated her right, I wouldn’t have looked twice at her or let any feelings spark within me..
Her expression changed and 1 knew that it was time to go before she asked me any question that would put me in a tight spot.
“Take Gire. . Ana” I rushed my words and walked away
I was sure I over stared at her, it was hard, almost impossible not to get smitten by her beauty.
I walked into the ice cream shop for another cup of ice cream with nuts and I ate it with anger.
friend.
These thoughts were hunting me but it wasn’t proper to think much about a lady who still occupied the heart of my frie
I couldn’t do that to my best friend even though he’s a jerk who had never valued what hehads. I couldn’t let my feelings destroy the trust he had
for me
I tossed the empty cup into the waste bin by the side of the shop, with my resolve clear in my mind, I was going to forget about the feelings I had for her and focus on my job as a friend and assistant to Quinn.
That was the least I could do to reciprocate his help and kindness towards me and my family.
1 slid my hand into my pocket and brought out my phone.
After a few taps on the device, I sent a call to Quinn
“Hello?” He picked up the call.
“Where are you?” I asked, skipping the greeting.
“At the multipurpose hall. Why?” He asked but I skipped the question
“Coming.” I replied and ended the call.
I met Quinn at the multipurpose hall listening to a speech by one of the female hosts of the event and I couldn’t help but nudge at him in disbelief. “What’s gotten into you man! You’re suddenly acting different since Ana came back man. I can’t believe you’re listening to an average woman speak at a charity event.”
“Her story is intriguing Quinn seemed unbothered by my rants.
“Conc
on, we need to leave,” I said, dragging Quinn out of the hall but he removed his hand from
my
y grip.
“I’ve not seen her yer His words enraged me the more.
“Look man, you messed up a long time ago and what you’re doing now is only going to make matters worse. Just come out and tell her you’re sorry and you want her back. Playing rat and cheese isn’t going to get her back, that I’m sure of.” I voiced in anger regardless of how it would make him
As if my words touched him, he walked out of the 1
hall and went to the car park, I opened the car and he slipped in without a word.
