Chapter 44: Chapter 44

That was fast Jeff. Barbara said as she pulled him into a hug.

Let's just say, it's on my way, let's go home. Kathleen is shock, Jeff is trying to drag Barbara out.

Stop it Jeff, I don't want to go home, I don't want to see mother and that annoying sister of mine.

I never did mention them, I will feel saver, if I am aware of the place you are.

Now you know, he is not a bad person and the place is save.

I don't think so, I wouldn't want anyone taking advantage of you.

Jeff, stop been an overprotective brother, I am fine, here have this to drink.

Jeff grab in anger, Barbara could still feel his rage that he is bottling, she sit on his leg, Kathleen turned her face, Barbara is playing with fire, if she knows how much Jeffery want to grab her and kiss her, she will not do that.

Why are you getting mad at your princess?

I am not.

You are, you are supposed to console me not beat me more. Barbara fake tears.

You this brat, I wonder who bully who?

Jeff!

Sorry, I was just thinking the words you would had said to Claudia and her mother.

Come on Jeff! Kathleen, I am not a war freak am I?

You should answer that yourself. Kathleen added, the three burst in laughter.

You two are very naughty, I will stop making friends with you two.

You only want to die, you can't survive without us. Kathleen is crazy.

Hm! I love you two. She peck Jeff that she is sitting on his leg. You should come here as well. She stretch her hand forward for Kathleen.

Ding ding! Kathleen look at Barbara, she wasn't expecting anyone.

You are expecting someone else?

Nope!

Then who is at the door? Kathleen asked.

Kathleen, you should check, I am sure is the steward, go let her in, I told her, I could do my stuff but she still insist.

Okay!

Ding ding!

Hold on, I am coming. Kathleen pulled the door, to behold, it's someone that they were not expecting, Kathleen standing with eyes wide open in front of him.

Hey young lady, step outside. She move away from the door, walking slowly behind the hunk in front of her, Barbara is in shock to see Dante back at the condominium, he told her, he will not return and he is back.

Dante clenched his fist, he frowned, seeing Barbara on Jeffrey's leg, Barbara stand fast from Jeff's leg. He left for some miserable hours and now she is entertaining a male visitor, she is shamelessly sitting on his leg right in his condominium.

Li Jun, I thought you are...

Who is he? He interrupt Barbara, he is at his limit, yet trying to act cool, he remembers Barbara saying she had two friends, a male and female, never had it occurred to him, that she could be this overly friendly with the male, that she had to sit on his leg right on his couch.

Oh, Li Jun meet Jeff my best friend and Jeff meet Li Jun. Jeff move his gaze to Li Jun, he fucking have an idea of Dante, the only confusion now, is that, a man of caliber like Dante will never fit into that description. After much scrutiny, he extend his hand to him, he takes Li Jun hand.

So why did you...

I forgot something. He stop her, he is mad already, Barbara is playing blind to it.

Okay! Dante dart into the room, Barbara went back to Jeffery's leg, Kathleen shake her head. So Jeff, you...

Barbara!

That was Dante voice, he didn't return because he forget something, he came back because he kind of miss her, spending a few more times with her before going home to his dinner but here the woman is acting all dumb. That exclamation is enough to show that, he is mad, Barbara stand from Jeffrey, Kathleen and Jeffrey also stand.

I want him out. Dante voice echoed, it's dry but full of authority.

What?

Yes! This minutes.

He is not leaving.

Then I will throw him out myself.

He is my friend.

And I am your boyfriend.

My fake boyfriend, you are nothing but a total stranger to me.

Li Jun! Barbara call snap him from his thoughts, That was Dante imagination, he closed his eyes to pushed the thought away. Are you alright? Barbara asked innocently.

Yes, I am fine. He pulled her to the couch, as he take his seat. Jeffrey and Kathleen also take their seat.

I thought, you are in a hurry?

Don't worry, I still have time. He move his gaze to Jeffrey, that Barbara had practically move to his side. So you are the fake boyfriend that Barbara rented? Jeffrey is annoying, but he is not going to fall for this, Jeffrey had expected him to flame up with the act, he saw twice in less than two minutes. Jeffery is a man, he too is notching feelings for Barbara, it's easy for him to detect another in his shoe, when he sees one

Is that what she told you? Dante answer his questions with another.

Yes and it's the truth right? No answer, Kathleen, could see Dante clenched his fist then release it. He nodded to him.

And you said you are her best friend?

Of cause, I and Kathleen are friends like ages, we attend same college, I pick her course for her, I do everything for her, she can't make decisions without seeking my opinion. We are inseparable.

Kathleen roll her eyes, fine, Barbara always seek his opinion but he is going overboard, who is he trying to impress, Dante is getting tired of the idiot in front of him.

Really?

Of cause! He move his hand to Barbara cheeks, then caress it a bit. Right baby? Barbara nodded to him. Dante act like he had cough.

Hey wait up, I will get you water. Barbara hurry into the kitchen to get a glass, so he had to get water from the fridge.

Did you also pick that jerk for her? Jeffrey look at Dante, is he trying to make jest of him, he part his lips to speak. Then your choices must be very poor. He added that part more of a whispered, but audible for him, his face darken, the two are in a cold war.

Barbara return with the water, he grabbed from her.

Ahem! Jeff clear his throat. I will also want to thank you for the accommodation but I am afraid we have to leave with her.

Dante spit the water from his mouth in shock. Sorry, you should be more careful. Barbara said, Dante nodded, his aura became more deadly, he could consume Jeffrey, the man is daring.

She is not leaving. Dante dry coarse voice came up, Kathleen look at him, now she see one of the trace of the man, they talk about in news, authoritative. he stand from the couch. Barbara, see me off to the door.

Okay! She walked behind him, taking just two step, he turned, she almost hit him, Dante support her with his strong arm.

The proximity was close, he move his eyes from her eyes down to her lips, the only thing on his head, was to lock lips with her, but then she might punch him.

Don't go anywhere. That was the word, it's just three but Barbara knows better than to disobey then free her, he move his gaze back to Jeffrey, that sharp gaze gave him Goosebumps.

Dante is terror on his own and now, he is likely to get into his bad book because of Barbara.

But who fucking care. Barbara is his woman not that arrogant fool, that think so high of himself.
