My Bad Guy

18. Tequila and Cocktail.

Sophia's POV

I was thinking about all the words which Cindy said. 

'What if he is only playing with me? What if Cindy gets his attention back? What will I do if everything goes the same way as Cindy said? No, I will talk to him about it. About us.

I was lost in my deep thought when I realized that Eve and Emara were staring at me. I looked up to them and asked,

"What?"

"Are you done daydreaming? And please tell us about 'HIM'. Who is that 'Him' and what that Cindy was talking about 'Having him back'?"

Eve questioned me which made me extremely nervous in front of her. I had no idea that how she would react? 

And moreover, there was no clarity between me and Rick. Whenever we met, we just went out of our control. Our hormones played very bad near each other and neither he nor I could control ourselves. 

"Agghhh! how could you forget that Eve? I told you that 'HIM' is none other than Rick Scott. Mr. Genius of the college, right Sophia?"

Before I could answer Emara, Eve asked her, "How are you so sure that the person about whom that b***h was talking about is Rick Scott. He can be anyone else."

"No, 'HIM' and Rick are the same person because before meeting Sophia, 'HIM' a.k.a Rick Scott was with Cindy. So that's obvious, that 'HIM' is Rick Scott."

Eve looked at me with wide eyes and then stood up suddenly. Before I could understand, she said, "What are you doing with that asshole?"

"Asshole? Who is the asshole?" Emara asked being stupid and curious at the same time.

"Rick is the asshole."

"How can you say that Eve. He is very smart you know."

"Yeah, a smart guy who dated a dumb b***h. This proves that he has no I.Q."

Eve answered Emara's arguments with a smirk on her face.

"Actually wait...he has I.Q and that is in negative."

And I knew that this discussion on Rick's I.Q was never gonna end. I had to do something. I stood up from my chair and signaled them.

"Alright, you two, discussion over. Now, let's go."

Both looked at me and asked in unison, "Where?"

I pretended to think for a while and then said, "Somewhere, where we can get Cough Syrups."

Listening to me, Eve had a bright smile on her face. She immediately picked up her bag and walked towards me. 

"Hey wait! why we need cough syrups? We don't have cough right? Or does anyone of you has a cough?"

Emara asked both of us, trying to figure out what we said.  I moved to her and said, "That Cough Syrup is very different and I promise you will really enjoy it."

I dragged Emara out with me. But she suddenly stopped and asked, "Wait! are we going to bunk the rest of the classes?"

That was very sweet and stupid of her at the same time. Before I could answer her, Eve did.

"Are you high already or just acting stupid? Of course, we are going to bunk. Now, come on."

We three moved towards the parking area of the college where I saw him standing and chattering with some of his guys' friends. 

His back was facing me and I could tell that he was totally busy with the conversation. I wanted to go to him and ask him if he could join us?

But, the next moment, I felt like a volcano blasted inside me when I saw Cindy walking close to him in seductive style. I continued to look at her and all I wanted was to punch Cindy again and again till her nose breaks.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Cindy reached the place where Rick was standing with all his friends and immediately hugged him. 

I was shocked to see that Rick didn't complain or pushed her away. Instead, he hugged her back. Not very tightly, but he hugged her back. 

My heart just sank inside my chest. I felt like someone punched it. An hour ago, we were kissing and then I had a fight with Cindy for him, just to see Cindy and him together?

I noticed that Eve walked by my side. She looked at both of them, then pulled me with her. She made me sit in the car. I was not saying anything but was only sitting, silently.

Eve started the engine and drove away. Emara shook me a little and asked, "Sophia, you OK?"

Before, I could answer, Eve said, "Of course, she is. There is nothing wrong. It's NOT like they are in a relationship."

I got a feeling of hope with Eve's statement. I looked at her with a slight smile on my face. She understands my mood so well.

Emara tapped my shoulder and said, "Yeah, Eve is right Sophia. They are not couples.."

And before I could react to Emara, Eve said, "I wasn't talking about Cindy and Rick, I was talking about Sophia and Rick. THEY ARE NOT COUPLES."

And now, I was on the verge of crying. Being my best friend, she was supposed to make me feel better, not worse.

I looked at Eve and she said, "I am going to pay for all your drinks bills. Drink as much as you can."

.............................................................................................................................................................................

"Ok now, stop it. Stop it, Sophia."

You heard that. That's Eve, who said that she was going to pay for all my drinks and I could drink as much as I want, now she was telling me to stop. Hell no!

"Yo--uu, sayyy ppaayy mee-myyy billlsss."

I didn't know if the sound was mine or of a cat. All I knew was that I had been drinking non-stop and now, was on verge of passing out.

"Sophia, you are too drunk. I am taking you home." I could hear the concern in Eve's voice.

"NO, I am not going anywhere. You said that I and Ri--ick are not a couple. How can you say so?"

"So, you love him?"

Eve's question had me stunned. I didn't know what to answer. 

Do I love him? 

I was very confused when Eve and Emara started to walk out of the bar where we were drinking. And yeah, they are dragging me with them. 

"Never knew, Sophee could get this heavy."

Emara's complaint woke me up properly.. I nudged my elbow in her and said, "I--I mm nawt fat-tt."

"Yeah right. Eve, what did she drank again?"

"She drank two cocktails and more than seven Tequila shots. Why are you asking?"

"Because she smells bad. How are we gonna take her inside her house?"

"Let's see."

I kept swinging in the air, whereas my friends kept trying to control my swinging ass. I was upset, very upset.

How could he allowed that b***h to hug him? He was supposed to push her away, not pull her closer. I will take my revenge on him.

Constant thoughts were running inside my head and I didn't realize when I reached my home.  Eve started to pull me out of the car, while saying, "Come out. Come out, Sophie. We are home."

"I--I want to drink moreeee." I said that by throwing my hands in the air. 

"Yes, you will get more drinks inside.." Emara ensured me and then they both started to drag me out.

I didn't realize when I was out, on my feet and when I saw my surrounding, I was already in my room.

"When did I came here?" I asked both of them and saw Eve walking towards me.

She patted my head and made me lied on the bed. She put the comforter on me and said, "Sleep now. We will meet tomorrow."

I unknowingly nodded at her. I saw Eve and Emara going out of the room. I quickly got up and made myself stand properly. 

"Because of you Rick Scott, I am hurt and I drank. So, now it's your turn to get hurt and drank. I am coming."

After saying that, I walked out.
