UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 51 – 60
Brandon sits close to Piper and right now , they are all staring at me. Reminding about the incident with Jhene.
“Ariel , what’s going on ?” Alexa asks , not breaking the eye contact.
“I..”
“It’s gonna be nice if you quit lying. You’ve lied enough. You know Gray ? And I’m really sure that blonde haired lookalike of you was you. You were the girl right ?”
I sigh and rub my temple. Where am I supposed to start from ? I’m not stupid , because after this conversation they are going hate me. When did I start lying.
“Fine I’ve seen Gray.”
They raise their brows in shock but Alexa wasn’t really that shocked.
“That’s about two to three months ago.”
“Jesus Ariel. I thought you said you’ve never met him.”
“I have and I’m sorry for lying. He barged into my car and we sort of talked and that’s how it all started.”
“So you’re saying , you’re secretly dating Gray and you’ve been lying about it.”
“We’re not dating.”
“Then what are you ?” Brandon asks.
“I don’t know. That’s one of the reasons I didn’t tell you guys. I was scared. I don’t even know what we’re doing…” I sigh , highly frustrated.
“So you guys have been intimate ?” Alexa asks , still not reacting.
“We haven’t. I mean he hasn’t slept with me but, he kissed me.”
“Holy moly. You kissed Gray ? You exchange kisses with Gray ? Exchange spits and all that. Oh my fuck , why did I ever doubt you.” Piper mutters.
“You know the funny thing about this. We are all friends. And you’ve been secretly seeing someone and you decide not to tell us. You couldn’t even tell me , Ariel I’m your cousin. Three months.”
“I’m sorry guys.”
“It’s not about being sorry. Ariel you lied to us. It’s like you saw us as fools. You fooled us. Pretending you haven’t seen him and you’ve kissed him. Disguised as a blonde haired and went to a party with him. Just put yourself in our shoes.” Piper says. I bite my bottom lip and sigh.
” I’m just gonna leave.” Brandon stands up and head to the door.
“Guys I’m sorry. I’m willing to make it up to you guys. I didn’t know it was gonna be like this.”
“And we had to find out in such a stupid way. If Jhene didn’t talk shit about you , you won’t even tell us. We’re just mad because you lied and even pretend you’ve never been in contact with him. He was the one who gave you those hickeys right ?” Piper asks.
I shut my eyes and nod.
“We asked you. You said it was a random guy. I need a nap. Later guys.” Brandon opens the door and walk out.
“Bye Alexa. Talk later Ariel.” Piper says and walk out too.
Now I’m left with Alexa. She shake her head sideways and stand up too.
“Alexa , I’m sorry. It wasn’t intentional.”
She shrugs.” Yeah , I know.” She squat close to Blue who lay next to my feet.
“Come on Blue. Let’s go.” She rubs her furs and carry her off the floor.
“Later Ariel.” I sigh and watch her leave with Blue.
Now I feel abandoned. I pick up my phone and blocked Gray’s number. If we’re ever seeing each other , I’m telling him to leave me alone.
I slump on the couch and pull my knees to my chest. I hate being lied to and I just did same thing to people I called friends. That hurts a lot.
UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 51 – 60
It’s Monday again and I don’t feel like going to class. The thought of my friends not speaking to me hurts a lot. I lazily slide out of bed and go to the bathroom. I stand under the shower till I’m about to feel cold. I step out and quickly get dressed.
I walk into my first class and take a sit. Piper and Brandon sits at the front , two seats from me as they talked and laugh. Brandon chuckle and turn around. His eyes meet mine and I heard him sigh and then look back at Piper who didn’t bother to turn around.
“Ariel.” I turn to look beside me and it’s Ryan.
“Hey..” I give him a fake smile.
“You look pale. Are you okay ?”
“I’m fine , thanks. What are you doing here ? I never knew I share same class with you in econ.”
“Partially business major.” He chuckle.
“I was wondering if you’d like to hang out after class ? I’m playing basketball today , maybe we can hangout.”
I sigh. I’ve blocked Gray’s number and the guys aren’t talking to me. Same time I just wanna go back home.
“Thanks Ryan , I’d love to but can we do that later ? Please.” I bite my bottom lip and pout at him.
“Sure. If that’s fine by you.” I smile and nod.
“Thanks.”
