"Is it just me or is it really awkward here?”
Dustin was the one who broke the silence. We were all sitting in the sofa after they chased each other like kids.
"It’s not awkwardness that you’re feeling. It’s the obvious fact that you’re not welcome here,” Silas said with irritation still laced in his voice.
I guess he’s truly pissed. It’s not my fault that we were interrupted!
"Ouch!" Dustin clutched his chest acting like he was really hurt by Silas’ words. “I come to your house without prior notice before. I’ve done that many times! Actually, I do that every time and now you’re mad at me for doing the exact same thing I’ve been doing for years?”
He was looking at Silas like he betrayed him. Silas looks unbothered by Dustin’s accusations. He’s still pretty mad and instead of fearing his angry face, I find it so cute.
"We were both single before, now I just want to kick your f*****g face out of my house.”
I wasn’t able to stop myself from laughing while listening to their funny conversation, or should I say argument. They’re both giants but they act like kids! Their argument and intense stare at each other were cut short when they heard me. they both look at me with creased foreheads.
"I'm sorry for earlier, I'm Dustin by the way, this i***t's best friend."
Dustin pointed at my boyfriend then extended his hand to shake mine. I smiled at him still suppressing a laugh and he smiled back.
"I'm Erina."
"I know," he answered which made me confuse.
We were both shocked when Silas suddenly hit his head. I immediately let go of Dustin’s hand because I’d never want to be hit too! And Silas is quite strong, I’d would surely hurt to be hit by him.
"Hey! The f**k dude, what’s your problem?"
"f**k you! Mind letting her hand go? Idiot."
"You fucker! You think I’d betray you like that? Hell no!"
"I know you won’t."
"Then why do you keep on hitting me?"
Silas swallowed hard. His ears are red, and he looks embarrassed for some reason.
"I.......I just don't want you touching her, fucker!"
He almost shouted then punched Dustin's arm. Because of what he said, we both evolved into a f*****g tomato. Dustin’s eyes were bulging and he’s looking at us like we committed a crime together then planned to cover it up. Maybe I’ll commit a crime. I’ll kill Silas because of the embarrassment he’s putting me through. Ugh! He should thank god that I love him.
"Bro, you’re all grown up now. Make me your best man in your wedding, I’m claiming it already!”
"Sure. In my wedding, you’ll be the head waiter."
"f**k you."
They continued bantering that I think my ears would start bleeding already that if it weren’t for Dustin’s phone which urged him to finally go home, I’ll probably kick them both out of the condo. Dustin actually came here to ask Silas to drink with him but since I'm here, they decided to postpone and do for another time.
I said that its fine if they’ll drink and have fun. I can stay in the room or I can even drink with them. But Silas opposed to the idea, so Dustin didn’t have a choice but to attend to his other commitments instead.
"Let’s go hon, I don’t want you to drive yourself home late after you drop me off GreyHouse," I told him while we're cuddling in the sofa.
"You don't want to sleep here?" He asked while playing with my hands.
He was drawing random shapes and letters and I don’t have a plan of stopping him despite the ticklish sensation I’m feeling.
"I want to hon, but I don’t have my clothes here, and also my essentials."
"You can borrow mine."
"Really?"
"What's mine is yours."
"Why are you so generous?"
"Erina," he faced me then held my cheeks. "I even gave you my heart, do you think I can’t give you my boxers?”
It was supposedly a sweet moment but we both burst into laughter.
"Whatever Silas Kim. But I really need to go home because I have an early appointment tomorrow,” I said while pouting.
I'd really love to stay and just cuddle with him, but I have scheduled photoshoots tomorrow. I’m not even sure if the first version of my first solo song will be approved, so I might need to record again. I really hope it’s already approved!
"Fine, I'll just see you tomorrow then?"
It's a good thing that tomorrow's Wednesday so he’s scheduled to train in the company studio. I could surely sneak out and meet with him.
"Of course, hon," I kissed him on the lips and finally decided to stand up.
We arrived at GreyHouse past 1 am already. All the lights are already turned off and I was supposed to walked straight to the bedroom when I heard a noise in the bathroom.
I was about to walk towards the bathroom when I saw Raqi who just came out of the bathroom. She was wiping her mouth with her hands and even with just the moonlight lighting the house, I can see how pale she is.
"Are you okay?"
Shock registered in her face when she saw me in front of her. It was obvious that she didn’t expect to see me standing before her. She looks like she will faint any second.
"I’m okay. I just ate something bad earlier and my stomach’s acting out," she smiled weakly before walking towards the bedroom door.
I was about to ask her more because I'm really worried, so I followed her, but she immediately lay down in her bed and covered her face with her quilt. I took a warm bath then decided to just sleep too.
The next day, all of us woke up pretty late so we didn’t have the time to eat breakfast. We quickly get in the car and just ate protein bars, so we won’t faint of hunger.
"Does your…. uhm…you know. Does it hurt?
Sassy leaned on me then whispered awkwardly while preventing the driver to hear anything. This scandalous witch! I immediately pinch her arm to stop her from asking ridiculous questions.
"Spill the tea sis," Kesha teased me while smiling widely like a f*****g devil.
"The f**k are you talking about? Do you really think I’ll have the energy and the time to go home if something really happens to us? What is that supposed to mean? f**k and run?"
I answered with a raised brow while hitting them one by one. They were just laughing at me like crazy people.
"I thought you came home because you did not enjoy the s*x,” Leina said while laughing hysterically.
The driver glance at us with a funny expression in his face. He might be thinking that five crazy bitches were inside the car he’s driving. And he probably just wants to crash this car!
"Stupid! Here I am thinking that Silas drive her home because she’s not that good in s*x!” Raqi exclaimed which made them all laugh again.
"Hey! Shut the f**k up already! All you’ve been talking about is s*x. Is this what happens when you’re single and has no one to mingle with?" I said before glaring at them. Bullies.
When we arrived in the company, I went straight to the recording studio while the girls walked to the dance studio.
One of the producers informed me that the first version that we produced was approved but we still need to record the extended one.
We recorded for almost three hours and I felt like I’m going to faint because of hunger. When they called for a break, I immediately went out of the studio to but food in the company cafeteria. I was checking my phone while walking and saw that Silas sent me a message.
From: Honey w/out a bee
Studio 403. Come when you're free.
I love you.
I did not have the time to reply because I sprint towards the elevator immediately. Studio 403 is located on the fourth floor, third door from the right. Its just how it works for the company. Weird but you have to go through a maze to get used of this numbers and floor thing.
I opened the door without knocking and there I saw my inhumanely handsome boyfriend fixing the plastic containers with delicious food in them. I can smell the food from the door!
"Did you just cook for me?"
"Nope. I cooked for the scary woman beside you," he said with a serious face.
Since I was gullible and sometimes utterly stupid, I looked in my side to check who he was referring to and saw no one. My forehead creased and I look at him with confusion in my eyes. He was biting his lower lip to stop himself from laughing. He’s so irritating sometimes!
"Ha-ha you think you’re funny?"
"Let's just eat," he pulled a chair for me then we started eating.
"We'll start shooting soon," he said while handing me his tumbler.
"We’ll be both busy for the next few weeks," I answered after drinking water.
"Yup, I'll be busy memorizing scripts, but I'll do my best to still take you out on dates don't worry."
"I'm not worried."
"Really?"
"Your girlfriend is so beautiful and gorgeous that I’m positive you can’t resist her. And that girlfriend is none other than me! Erina, duh!”
He did not respond, and he was just staring at me while smiling. I’m not really sure if he’s annoyed or if he’s laughing at me.
"Wow hon, you’re giving me the silent treatment now? I was just joking!”
He just smiled and still did not answer my question. He’s always like this. I talk a lot and then he would just be there acting like he’s deaf or something because he wouldn’t answer! Ugh! Can I hit him? Just once!
"Hey!" I waved my hand in front of him. "Did you just turn into a rock---”
"You're right."
