Chapter45

Evelyn

The day went in blur, freshing up I went downstairs and spent time with mom, watching our favorite shows, eating together and she went to her room and I went inside mine. I took a nap and woke up dressing into black jeans and a golden color top. Curling my hair leaving it flow onto my back.

Blake came and after our little kissing session we're off to ah... I don't know where he's taking me. I glanced up at him and he's staring at road "Umm... Where are we going?" 

"You'll see when we reach there" he replied giving me a side glance.

"Of course I'll get to see when we reach there... But I want you to tell me now"

"You'll have to wait cupcake!" he gave me his signature smirk and returned his gaze on road. While I huffed and stomped my feet glancing out from window.

I wonder where he's taking me, shrugging my shoulder I put on radio and jumped in excitement as I heard my favorite song.. I stared singing as I'm familiar with the lyrics rocking my head side to side earning chuckles from Blake. He looked at me amused and kept driving, after an half hour he parked his car and we got down.

Getting down he intertwined our fingers and held me close to him, we walked and as soon as we're inside I gasped in amazement as I saw a skating ring in front of me. My eyes twinkled and I stared it in awe... I used to go practice with my dad but after his death we moved and I forgot about it. Glancing at Blake he's staring at me with a big smile "Shall we?"  he asked nodding at the ring. I nodded at him giving a smile we put on skates and got inside the ring...

At first I thought I'd fall down so I clutched Blake's hand in death grip. He guided me and I slowly left his hand and I found myself moving forward... Enjoying I ignored Blake and took rounds on other side of the ring I kept my full concentration on practice. Blake watched me intensely while a smile playing on his lips....He stopped skating and leaned on the railing just staring at me. After a few minutes I started feeling cold here and hugged my figure by my arms I thought to go and join Blake but before I can turn large arms snaked around my waist pulling me to their hard body. I gasped at their touch and flinched a bit. Ready to pull away from them but stopped when I heard his voice.

"Relax, it's just me cupcake" Blake whispered into my ear.

I let out a breath which I'm holding and relaxed at his touch, closing my eyes feeling cold chills ran down spain at our contact. I could feel warm with the heat radiating from our bodies and it made butterflies erupted from my stomach. We stood in that position for a few minutes, then opening my eyes I looked up to him to see him staring at my blue eyes... I felt blood rush to my cheeks and my gaze fell on his lips. As if he sensed what I want he pressed them onto mine and turning around I brought my hands up locking my arms around his neck.

"I'm taking you to my grandparents house" he announced as soon as we pull apart.

"Why?" I asked looking at his beautiful face.

"It's nothing... They want to meet you. We can go may be next week" he said to which I nodded.

"Let's take a picture" I said fishing out my mobile. We clicked a few pics, with me and Blake smiling, While Blake kissing my cheek and me placing my fingers at back of his head.

"Come on its time to meet Duke" he said dragging me out of the ring. I groaned as I slipped my feet from skates and put on my sneakers.. "Blake I want ice cream"  I pointed at the parlour at the corner. Telling me to stay here he went to fetch us ice cream... I checked our pics and grinned like an idiot. But out of all our pics only one stood highlight which is clicked by Flora at basketball court. In that pic he's looking at me lovingly while I grinned at camera.

I love that pic! Checking texts from my friends I saw a text notification popped up, I opened it to see it's from unknown number. It read....

I see you're spending time with your lover boy! I didn't believe Jared when he told me about you but he's right. You're indeed a hot chick... That stupid boyfriend of yours doesn't deserve you! Spend as much time with him as you can because your happiness is short lived!

X0X0

I stared at my phone for a few minutes reading the text again and again... My mind swirled with emotions confusion, disbelief, rage.

Who could it be? 

I checked my phone log and saw that the missed calls I got yesterday were from this number.. What do they want from me?  I rang to the same number but it went to voice-mail.

I shoved it into my pocket and glanced around to see someone /something odd but the whole place was filled with crowd and noises. It's impossible to spot an exact person... I saw Blake coming with our ice creams, he handed it to me and I completed it giving a kiss to his cheek we walked out.

I kept thinking about the text, I decided to talk about it with Blake. But not now, I'll tell him tomorrow... It must be someone who knew Blake well and also this Jared... There's something off about this guy. What exactly happened between them... I found myself asking Blake "Who's Jared?"  his jaw clenched as soon as I blurted the question. He tightened his grip on steering, his knuckles went white... Definitely it must be sick topic to him,I should've asked another time but thanks to my curiosity.

"Why are you asking this now?" came his reply.

"You said you'll tell me some other time on that day... Why not now?" I spoke looking at his face.

"Not now Evelyn!" he stated coldly.

"But..... " he cut me off

"I told you not now, you should stop asking...!"  he yelled and kept taking turns. I huffed loudly and sat there shutting my mouth.

This is the first time he yelled at me! Is it that bad to talk about this topic with him.... And also he called me Evelyn! I snorted and gazed onto the roads and buildings, I can feel his eyes on me checking if I'm okay but I showed zero emotions on my face and kept staring at windshield...

Soon we reached the nightclub, I thought they'll stop us as we're underage but Blake somehow managed and now we're walking inside glancing around to spot Duke. I found teenagers, some are drunk and some were dancing, rocking on floor... My nose scrunched up because of this alcohol scent... I gagged internally and looking around I found Duke talking with one of our school guy.

I walked towards the bar where he's sitting, I ignored Blake as I'm sure he'd follow me so I stalked towards my best friend.

"Hi" I greeted sitting on one of the stools beside him.

"Are you okay?" he asked looking behind me and at me.

"Yeah... Can you get me 2 shots please" I spoke to bartender giving him a smile before he can go "No!"  I heard my best friend and boyfriend yelling at same time.

Rolling my eyes I gave a look to the boy in front, he scurried away to get my drinks "What's wrong with you?"  Duke asked knitting his brows. I see his friend already left and the place was occupied by Blake.

"I'm fine" I replied glancing around to spot someone to ditch these boys. But no luck, from the corner of my eye I saw both of them exchanging glances and talking in hushed tone. Soon two shots were placed in front of me I gulped them down and felt my throat burning, shrugging I ordered two more.... I let my ears work as I tried to listen to their conversation.

"So, if you stop drinking.. I'd like to talk with you guys" Duke spoke darting his eyes from Blake to me. I smiled lazily and propping my head on elbow on bar counter. I stared at both of them....

"I'll get to point... I don't like you and you know that already.... " he spoke to Blake, who's nodding at his statement.

"You can say the feeling is mutual Duke.... But you know after dealing with her these days I got to know you better and I'm starting to like you"  Blake spoke nodding his head in my direction. Duke nodded and studied me and Blake for sometime, I gulped two more shots. Glancing up I saw Blake and Duke giving me a warning look challenging me to take some more drinks..

"As to speak honestly, I don't hate you too because you like her and if I do anything to you, she'd kill me for sure.... "

" You're a good guy Duke" Blake patted his back...

"You too... I can say, you're not a bad guy" Duke said patting his back.... My eyebrows knitted watching their exchanging words....

"Duke are you a gay?"  I asked scrunching my nose. He looked at me in horror "What makes you think like that Eve?"  he asked and Blake's giving me a bewildered look.

"You guys are talking like a love sick couple....' I don't like you but now I like you.. I can't live without you' so tell me if you two are gays?" I chuckled at their expression, after sometime they ignored me and went talking.

"If you ever make her cry I'll shoot you, remember that!" I heard duke giving him warning. Blake raising his hands in surrender and shook his head.

"Two more please...... " I yelled feeling my head spinning...

"No no... You're not getting anymore drinks. We're going home!"  I heard Blake saying, he turned me to face him by grabbing my shoulder. I jerked his hands away... And stood up deciding to go onto dance floor.. But he wrapped his arms around me trapping me from reaching the floor.

"Arrr..... Leave me!" I yelled trying to swat his hands away.

"Can you handle her dude?" I heard Duke asking him. They exchanged words and I zoned out. My vision is blurry and I saw people jumping on dance floor.

I too wanna dance...

"Leave me you sexy beast.... " I yelled but no luck. The next minute I found my body was being shoved on his shoulder like a potato sack and we're walking out of the club.

" I'm flying to my home I don't want to come in your car.. " I slurred while he tried to get me inside the car. He fastened seat belt on me and started ignition, before I can slip into darkness I felt a pair of lips caressing my forehead.
