Money

Yes, I should help Michael, even though he’s always so bitter when it comes to this kind of things. Mallory looks like a good girl too, just a bit clueless, I guess.
Ding!
Okay, wait for us there.
Michael texted me back. I showed the text to Mallory then we sat inside the open cafe beside the spa.
I ordered drinks for me and Mallory, searching for Mallory made me thirsty. I bet it’s the same for those two so it’s a good idea to stop by a cafe.
While waiting for our order a hooded man approached us, “Oh? So you found your girlfriend,” he’s wearing a face mask, but his unique color of eyes tells me exactly who he is.
“Aiden,” I said.
“What a joy! You call my name like I’m your friend.” he putted his mask down, and sat on the chair next to Mallory.
“What do you want?” I glared at him.
“Ah, I just gave your girlfriend an errand in the middle of your date.” he said putting his arm around Mallory’s shoulder, “I should pay, her shouldn’t I?”
Mallory stared at Aiden’s face whilst they are this close to each other, Aiden turned to look at her and smirked, he then pulled out a couple of bucks from his wallet and tossed it on the table. After that, he stood up and left.
“What did he make you do?” I typed on my phone the question that I wanted to ask and showed it to her.
Follow girl. Carry things.
She typed her answer. So she really was running an errand, but what turn of events is this that the two of them are suddenly acting like they already forgot the past? As I remember, Aiden had poured a bucket of water over Mallory once, Michael told us that Aiden threw Mallory to an edge of a table which made her scream in pain before and the next day he let Mallory trip and get left amidst the rain which led to Mallory getting hit by thunder.
“Are you not angry?” I asked Mallory through the phone.
Hungry
That... I checked if I made a typo, but I didn’t. I guess she is more often hungry than angry, haha.
Our drinks came and she chugged hers like water. Seriously, watching her eat anything is way to astonishing. Mallory might be too forgiving for her own sake. Her face seems as if it does not know the feeling of anger nor does she seem so interested in money either, because she haven’t even spared a glance on the money that Aiden left, although she stares at the drink that she has, admiring its toppings, might be imagining things as well. It’s funny that she looks like she’s trying to formulate the composition of the drink though.
“Aren’t you gonna accept the money?” I asked her through the phone again.
She looked at the money and pointed at herself as if asking me if it was hers. I nodded. She took the money was handing it to me when Michael and Raphael came at the same time.
“What’s that?” Michael asked.
“It seems, she ran an errand from Aiden.” I told him.
“Aiden?” he asked. It is clear how unhappy he is to hear Aiden’s name.
“Yeah..”
He looked at Mallory with “Just throw it.” written all over his face.
“I don’t know why but she’s giving it to me.” I said.
Mallory grabbed my phone and typed;
More food.
Ahahaha, both Raphael and I bursted into laughter.
“Just let her use it then.” Raphael said as he sat down beside me.
Mallory sure is amusing.

After finding Mallory, we went back to the dorm. It seems Michael didn’t plan a dinner date, but a special ‘spending time together at home’ thing. I was trying to leave them together for dinner when we were at the mall, saying that I have to go home already and dragged Raphael along with me, but Michael said they were going home as well.
Not so much of a shame, I only meant to watch over the sidelines while there was only the two of them, but I guess Michael thought ahead of me and was already planning to stay at the dorm so no one is watching.

Michael’s POV
Good, I have bought my needs. I bought a new phone together with Mallory. Although she wouldn’t hear it ring, it vibrates so we should be able to call each other in case of emergency. I have to reinput all of my contacts since even the sim card is lost now. I didn’t really have much, to begin with.
