Addicted to you

Chapter eighteen

~MYRA.

It had been two days since Rhys asked me to be his girlfriend, and I could honestly say it was one of the best things that had ever happened to me. Being with him had been wonderful so far, and I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this happy.

I accepted, of course, because it was what I had been waiting for my whole life, and now, it had finally happened. I lay there, staring at the ceiling with a wide smile spread across my face, still finding it hard to believe that Rhys was finally mine.

My phone beeped, drawing my attention away from my thoughts. I picked it up and saw that Emily had already replied to my message. She was supposed to be home by the time I got back, but she was nowhere to be found.

Me : yoooo where are you

Em : I will be home soon

Me : where have you been since yesterday

Em : I promise I will explain to you,I will grab breakfast on my way.

Me : okay.

I stood up and made my way to the living room, settling onto the couch as I waited for Rhys to text me. He had promised to message me after I left his house, but I hadn't heard from him since I got back.

Should I be worried

Nope I need to calm down calm down.

He told me he felt the same,I don't have anything to worry about.

But he didn't say it directly to me

Gosh I am freaking out.

I heard the familiar sound of our car pulling up outside. A moment later, Emily walked through the door, looking gloomy and completely washed up.

Where did she spend the night?

"I'm back," she muttered, dropping onto the couch beside me. She placed our breakfast on the table, quickly picked up her food, and started eating without saying another word.

I could tell she was angry.

"What happened, Em?" I asked.

She immediately put down her spoon and turned to face me.

"I kissed Mr. Superior, and I liked it," she confessed.

I gasped, staring at her in disbelief. I couldn't believe that had actually happened.

"Tell me everything. Don't leave out a single detail," I demanded, grabbing my food as I settled in, ready for some premium gist.

She told me everything, but as she spoke, I noticed the sadness in her expression. Whatever had happened between them, it was clearly bothering her more than she wanted to admit.

"How could he say it was a mistake? Why should I even blame him? He's my professor's son, and I keep forgetting that," she said before gulping down a glass of water.

"Em, don't be sad." I patted her back gently.

"I mean, there's nothing wrong with liking your professor's son. He's not the professor himself, after all."

"Right," she said quietly.

"He'll come around if he feels something for you," I assured her.

A small smile appeared on her face.

"Hmm, I didn't know our chubby could talk like this," she teased.

I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't help smiling too.

"By the way, who did you spend the party with?"

"Uhm... Rhys."

"Tell me more."

I smiled shyly before telling her everything.

She was so happy that she jumped up and started dancing around the living room.

She said she had always known Rhys liked me and was only hiding his feelings.

"But he said he'd text me, and he hasn't yet," I said, pouting.

"Maybe he has something to do right now. Don't worry; he'll text you soon," she assured me.

I sighed and nodded, stuffing my face with chips.

"By the way," she added, giving me a teasing look, "how was your first time huh?"

"It was nice," I said shyly.

"Our chubby is no longer a virgin"she said and I bit my lips "finally after waiting for her prince charming" she added and smiled at me. "I am happy that you had your first with your Rhys".

"Me too"I said and we giggled together.

My phone beeped and I checked immediately with em peeping to see my messages.

Rhys😍 : baby girl,sorry I didn't text you early,I promise to make it up to you. Have you arrived?

Me : okay, yes I am already at home.

"Hmm... baby girl," Em teased.

I glared at her, but she burst out laughing before repeating herself.

"Baby girl."

"Seriously?"

"I'm going to go and keep Riley updated, baby girl. You can stay here and enjoy your time with your boyfriend," she said, laughing.

I bit my lip, trying not to smile, before grabbing my Dunlop slippers and throwing one at her. She squealed and quickly ran into her room before it could hit her.

I sighed, shaking my head as I picked up my phone and continued texting my boyfriend.

God, I'm so happy.

I gulped down my drink, careful not to have too much because I still had to study. Frustrated, I ran a hand through my hair, trying my best not to think about the mess that was my life.

"Hey, is everything okay?"

I heard a voice beside me. I rolled my eyes before turning to see a guy in a suit standing nearby.

"Yes, everything is fine. You can go sit somewhere else now," I replied curtly.

I turned back to my drink, not caring that I had sounded rude.

Instead of leaving, he pulled out the chair opposite me and sat down, silently staring in my direction.

I rolled my eyes again and continued drinking.

"You better have something to say if you're going to sit there," I said.

He immediately raised his hands in surrender.

I looked away from him and pulled my jotting book toward me. I started going through my notes again. We were going to be interviewed tomorrow, and I really didn't want to think about it just yet.

After a while, I noticed him glance at my book before turning his attention back to his meal.

He better focus on himself before I show him how to mind his own business.

I spent another forty-five minutes going through my notes before finally closing the book. I gathered my things, slipped them into my bag, and stood up.

"Hope to see you soon," he said as I walked away.

I didn't bother replying.

I hope not.

What I didn't notice was the Denton Firm employee ID card clipped to his suit.
