Chapter 36: Chapter 36

"Nye nye!" She exclaimed as she turned away from me. She was about to take a step away when I stepped in front of her, causing her to fall.

"You're so clumsy!" I yelled as I helped her stand up.

"Don't touch me; I'm strong enough to stand on my own."

What's with that attitude?! Damn, why is she acting in that way to me?

"Xenon is a gentleman, he better than you!" I offer to assist her in getting up, but she refuses, and now she will tell me I'm not a gentleman.

I screamed out, "Hey, woman!" But she didn't even turn around.

We've already begun eating, and she's been ignoring me for quite some time.

Is there anything I've done wrong?! Why is she so enraged with me, huh?

I called her name, "Alyana," but she didn't respond.

I groaned and walked over to her, holding her hand, and noticing she had stopped swallowing her food.

"What is the issue?" I inquired quietly, but she remained silent. I pressed my fingers across each of its cheeks, forcing them to turn towards me. I giggled gently since her lips were hidden and her brows were still pressed together.

When she rubbed her lips after I kissed her, it irritated me.

"You're disgusting! Don't ever kiss me again because you kissed Stefanie!"

She sounds irritated.

I made a funny face. With a smile, I inquired, "Are you jealous?"

"Why should I be jealous?" She says suddenly, finally speaking to me.

"I'm sorry, okay," I said, taking her hand in mine and looking her in the eyes. I would have kissed her again if she hadn't slammed his palm into my face.

"You kissed me after touching your lip to Stefanie, huh?" I was annoyed, so I got up and went to the bathroom. I went back to where she was after brushing my teeth.

"I brushed my teeth, I even washed them with soap, I brushed them properly; what? Is that okay?"

"Still you did kiss her--"

"Damn, she kissed me first!" She exclaims.

"And you kissed her back! Bastard!"

She's now looking at me badly.

I notice how her attitude change these past few days when she's with me but when it comes to her family she doesn't dare to raise her voice to them, she's like a puppy in front of them!

I drew her hand closer to me as she rose and began to walk away. She snatched it from my chest and stared me down. She attempted to push me away, but I grasped her waist and drew her in closer.

"D-Don't look at me!"

"What? You're the one staring at me?"

I said. She can't even look me directly in the eye.

I said, "Do you miss me?"

"Excuse me, I'm going to wash those plates--"

"I'll wash that for you," I replied as I kissed her, and she gave me a hateful look.

I split her hair on her forehead and pinned it to her ear, telling her, "Don't be jealous anymore."

"Who said I'm jealous?" It's too obvious and she's still denying it.

"OK, so you're not jealous... so why are you acting so strangely? Why do you seem so angry at me?"

"B-Because... because--"

"What?" I ask.

"Ahm, because you punched the man I kissed!" I let go of her hand and closed my eyes hard before looking her in the eyes sincerely.

"F**k! Do you like that man Alyana?" I said straight-forwardly while still sober.

"H-Huh? Uhm," she scratch her shoulder as if I couldn't think of anything further to say.

"What?! Is he a better kisser than I am?"

"I didn't say anything like that..." she said, biting her lower lip.

"Tell me! Tsk, you're still blushing!" This woman irritates me!

I simply lowered my fist and moved away from her, and I came to a halt when I felt someone grasping the hem of my dress.

As I gently turned around, I noticed Alyana frowning and clutching the hem of my gown.

When she looked me in the eyes and said... it was as if my irritation vanished. "Sorry,"

"Sorry? For what?" I ask in a serious tone.

"All in all," I groaned as I drew her into a hug.

"I believe your two babies are now full; what did they eat?"

"Go to Stephanie, her boobs are bigger than mine!" she yelled angrily as she walked away from me. Wait, I was the one who's supposed to be upset with her before, and now she's upset with me... again?!

Damn, I don't understand. I can't understand why she's acting like that. Is she jealous? For real?

I'm joking! Besides, it's a long-distance away, so why did Stefanie suddenly jump back into the conversation!?

I carefully rinsed the plate before picking up my phone and dialing John's number.

[How are you doing, bro? Why? Is there anything you need?]

"It's because..."

[What??]

"Alyana is upset with me," I responded, overhearing him laughing on the other end of the telephone.

[Then? What do I have to do with it? ]

Why the hell is he laughing? I'm freaking serious right now! I had no idea what to say or do to Alyana!

Then it's lovely to put it in the sack; it's really fantastic, and I still feel a little sympathy for her.

[She's jealous of you and Stefanie.] He added.

I raised my eyebrow and hold my jaw.

She is really jealous? I'm right! Anyway, why would she be jealous? She's not my girl, I am not her boyfriend so why? She doesn't have any rights to be jealous.

"Do you think she's jealous huh, John?" I ask.

[Yeah, I'm sure!] In his tone I know he's not lying or making fun of me.

[Why have you just returned home?!]

[I'm late because I just took some fresh air outside bro.] That's John's younger sister's voice.

[You seem not in the mood right now, is there something wrong? Who makes your day ruined huh?"

[You're correct, there is, brother. My wonderful boyfriend, no, my ex-boyfriend had a relationship with one of my classmates!] I can hear the two of their voices as if they were chatting and their mouths were on the phone since the volume of their voices was that loud.

[What!? What a jerk! You should punch that punk!"

[I only punch him five times before nearly balding the woman.] She appeared to be giggling.

[Great! Fight for your rights, don't let anyone do that, and treat you like that! And I told you not to have a boyfriend until you graduate but since you were so stubborn, you still did do that boyfriend stuff! Okay, get dressed in your room now because we're gonna eat after.] John has two sisters, one of whom is named Gween and the other is named Ellie.

[Hello, bro, my apologies—]

"Did Gween and her boyfriend break up?" I ask.

[You did hear that conversation, right?...]

[What makes you think you're interested, huh? I'm sorry bro but I can't let you! I'd prefer for my sister to grow old alone than for you to be with her—]

"Are you crazy? Do you think your sister is my type? She's kind of a bad girl bro! Lastly, I'm not going to hit the younger sister of my f**king friend. I don't flirt with much younger than me."

[Tsk! What do you call Alyana if he doesn't seem to hit the younger one with him?]

"That's a different thing; after all, we're just a few years apart!"

[By the way, when you were Stefanie, what were you doing? Is it delectable—]

"Don't even mention that woman's name!" I couldn't wait for her to utter it because I was lowering the line swiftly.

(Flashback)

"Stephen where's Alyana and Stefanie?

"Yeah, what happened to those two?" John and Flyn wondered. I didn't respond; instead, I got up and went to the restroom.

I walked in without notice and discovered Stefanie standing in front of the mirror, staring at herself. When she noticed me, she raised the corner of her mouth.
