Chapter 46 - 45
"What the hell is this?"
I looked up to see who it was and saw that it was Justin.
"Are you filming a drama or what? You're so good at acting like you're the victim, Andre," he said as he walked closer towards us.
He was holding two bottles of water. Earlier, he left to get us some water because I said I was thirsty and he just came back now.
I'm kind of getting nervous now that he's here. Is he mad?
"Daryl, let go of that scumbag," he commanded with authority in his voice. I just stared at him, refusing to let go of Andre.
"What are you doing? I said let go," he said as his forehead creased.
He's angry.
I can tell from his pheromones. No, even without his pheromones, I can tell that he's definitely angry.
But...
"No," I said firmly as I glared at him. His facial expression became more distorted. "Daryl," he called my name with a warning tone.
"I don't want to," I said, still not wanting to let go of him.
I... I still love Andre and he has no right to separate us. I understand that he's just concerned for me, but what can I do? My heart is screaming his name. I love him with every fiber in my body.
He marched towards us and pulled Andre's collar, choking him a bit on the process.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled as I went between them.
Andre coughed as he sat on the floor. His face also looked red because of what Justin did.
I gritted my teeth.
"This is going too far, Justin. Even though you're my best friend, you have no right to do that to him," I hissed.
It was true. He had crossed the line by hurting him.
"Daryl, are you really gonna defend that man?" He said as he looked at me with trembling eyes. He looked like he was about to cry anytime now but I couldn't care less.
"Yes," I said firmly and helped Andre up. "Are you okay?" I asked him as I cupped his cheek. His face was still flushed from crying and his eyes looked swollen.
He must have cried a lot.
"Fine. Do whatever you want. Stay with that cheater if he makes you that happy," Justin said and walked out on me.
I clenched my jaw and took a few deep breaths to calm myself.
He's in no place to tell me what to do. I can do whatever I want and I am capable of making decisions on my own. I don't need him.
"What happened?" My sister suddenly arrived with a worried expression on her face. "I saw Justin just now. Did you guys fight?" She asked.
I didn't bother answering her and held Andre's hand. "We're leaving," I said as I dragged Andre out of that place.
As we walked, that was when I finally realized that a lot of people were watching us. We were causing a scene so it's not entirely shocking to know that they were watching us yell at each other.
We headed to my car and went inside right away. As I drove him back to his place, we were both silent.
Awkward silence filled the car and it felt even more awkward when I suddenly remembered what I said earlier.
Ah... This is so embarrassing.
"Thank you."
I glanced at him and faced straight again. "What for?" I asked. "For defending me and for choosing me over Justin," he replied.
I scoffed.
"Don't get me wrong. I did not choose you over him. I just didn't like how he treated you," I said while still facing straight.
Thank goodness, we're not talking to each other face to face. If we did, I probably won't be able to talk straight while facing him.
"Still, thank you," he thanked me once again. I didn't open my mouth after that and we were both silent again.
When we arrived in front of his house, I stopped the car and waited for him to get off. I was still facing straight, still feeling awkward about facing him.
...
...
Is he still not gonna get off?
I turned my head to look at him, and as soon as I did, he cupped my cheeks, pulled my face closer to his, and started kissing me.
My eyes widened with shock.
Suddenly, Justin's angry face popped into my head. His words started playing on my mind, making me realize something.
'Fine. Do whatever you want. Stay with that cheater if he makes you that happy.'
Cheater.
Yeah, cheater. The man kissing me right now is a cheater who cheated on me just recently.
I shouldn't have gotten mad at Justin. I should have realized that he got mad for my sake. I should have realized that even if I come back into Andre's arms again, I still can't erase the possibility of him cheating on me again. I should have realized that Justin got mad because he thought so, too.
I pushed him away and wiped my lips with the back of my hand.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled. He flinched with a shock expression on his face. "H-Huh? I thought we're together again...?" He looks so flustered and embarrassed because of what I did to him.
"Get off your high horse, Andre. I just did that because I felt bad for you. Nothing more, nothing less. And what? We're together again? Since when? Did I say something like that? Did you think that we're already okay—that we're already back together just because I helped you out a bit? Do you think you're still special to me after what you did?" I said continuously without even pausing to breathe.
I might have sounded too harsh, but if this is what it takes for him to finally leave me alone, then I wouldn't hesitate to say those words to him.
"Let's be strangers again, hmm?" I said and tilted my head a bit.
I saw his adam's apple moving up and down as he swallowed hard. His jaw clenched and I can see his face turning redder and redder.
"Yeah, I'm sorry," he said as he breathed heavily.
What? Is he gonna punch me?
"But..."
My eyes widened after what he did next. He suddenly pulled my shirt and started kissing me roughly. His lips were pushing too much that I can feel his teeth grinding on my lips.
I tried pushing him, but because he was a lot stronger than me.
I couldn't do anything against him.
"Mmff! L-Let g... Hmmff!!" His lips were still against mine as he slowly put his hand inside my pants and kept rubbing my hole with his fingers. I pushed him again but he wouldn't budge.
If that's the case, then...
I bit his lip so hard until I started tasting iron. His lips started bleeding because of me so he had no choice but to let go.
I wiped my lips with the back of my hand again and saw that his blood was on my lips too. I wiped it again and again as I watched him slowly getting furious.
"Why are you wiping your lips as if I'm dirty?!" He yelled. A smile suddenly curved on my lips. "What do you mean? You 'are' dirty," I said, emphasizing the word 'are'.
"From the moment you cheated on me, you became dirty," I glared at him. "Get the fuck out of my car or else I'll report you for harassing me. This is the least I can do for you," I said still not taking my eyes off him.
He cussed multiple times before opening the car door.
"Fuck you," he said as he raised his middle finger at me and closed the door with a loud bang, making me flinch a bit.
Hah... Haha... I dated a man like him? That's so disgusting.
I started driving away from that place and headed back home.
I can't believe I dated him for seven years. I shudder to think about how he might have treated me if we were to get married.
I suddenly remembered how my father protested about me wanting to marry him. I knew that he had already ran a background check on him ever since we started dating. Yes, I know that doing something like that isn't right at all because it invades a person's privacy, but that's just how my father does things.
Come to think of it, he started forcing me to break up with Andre a year ago. Is it possible that Andre has been cheating on me since that time?
A lot of questions ran through my head and the only way they can be answered is to ask my father.
I took a U-turn to head to the main house where my father is.
If I wanna know the answers to my questions, then I have to ask him myself. I'm not sure if he's home right now, but I will still wait for him even if he isn't.
I... I don't want to be a fool anymore. It was stupid of me to even feel sorry for someone like Andre.
