Chapter 15
In the middle of eating someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see Connor and Dustin standing behind us. Again, I was awestruck by their beauty. Connor threw his million dollar smile, "Hey Emily". I genuinely returned the smile, "Hey Connor".
" I wanted to show you something. Will you come with me?", he asked out of nowhere and I turned to Abby looking with a suspicious gaze. "Um, Okay", I said and got up.
"You too Abby", Dustin said extending his hands for Abby to get up. She walked past him with an attitude. My girl. I waved at Luke and mouthed him 'I will be back' and started walking behind Connor. Abby soon caught up with me and Dustin was following us.
We crossed the car and was going along a small trail along the forest. "You guys are not planning to kill us, are you?", Abby said taking the twigs from her hair. I elbowed her to be quiet. Dustin chuckled behind her.
"What? They are taking us into this scary forest and I can assure those cowards wouldn't come to find us in the dark". She had a point. "No, Abby we are not going to kill you", Dustin voiced.
"Even if so, I won't make it easy", she snorted rolling her eyes. "I know Abby. I know", Dustin shaking his head. Wait, was it adoration that I saw in his face? We walked until we were too close to the river and then a few minutes along the river we could see lights. "Holy shit, they have a barn house", Abby exclaimed.
The house was surrounded by a empty land and dock at the river straight outside. I was looking at the wooden building with wide eyes completely contrasting the nature outside. The inside of the house was engrossing even there wasn't any room. There was a TV and a kitchen. Beds were laid at the corner. The lights were decorated along the ceiling.
"Its beautiful", I muttered slowly exploring the scene in front of me. Connor took me to the kitchen. It was simple yet elegant. "This is amazing", I said and Connor blushed.
"Thanks. We built this when we first find this place. There was a abandoned house here", he said extending the water glass. I tightly held to the glass looking around sipping the water.
"I think they are crazy and rich", Abby whispered. I laughed at her comment. She was right at some point. We all sat in the couch in front of the TV.
"I don't get it why you brought us here. I mean no offense the place is beautiful and all". Just once, all once that I wished that Abby stop voicing her thoughts out loud.
"We brought you here because we are friends", Dustin said. "Well, that's news to me. Last time I checked you didn't want to know me", Abby accused Dustin glaring at him.
"What happened, Abby?", I asked turning her towards me. "Well, we hung out when some pretty chick came to him. Me being me, I asked him who that was. Maybe a little bit harsh since he didn't answer but the point is he did not answer. He insulted me in front of that chick telling me that I was being clingy when I was all but a time pass. Oh, he also told that he wasted his time with a girl like me in front of the chick", she breathed out.
"That was intense", she fanned herself once again glaring at Dustin. He was quiet.
"What the hell?!. Why didn't tell me early?", I asked her. "Well, I decided this guy isn't worth it. So, I didn't", she said pointing towards with Dustin who was scowling at her. "I am sorry for what I did. I acted on a whim. I wanted to make things right. I didn't mean it", he said reaching for her hand.
She shoved his hands and shot up, "You never should've done that. Too bad I am interested in other guy. I have to leave. Sorry Connor. See you later", she said and started walking towards the door.
"It's Okay", Connor said in a daze.
I got up, " See you later", I waved them and got out of the house. Ryder and Axel were at the door when I came out. They were giving me a perplexed look but I was concerned about Abby. I smiled a little and started running calling for Abby. We reached the tent and told the boys everything that happened.
"Just be careful", Matt before we laid down in our tent. "Who was the other guy anyway?", I propped up on my hands lying flat on my stomach. "No one. Just tried to give his medicine to him", she smirked.
"In case if it worked, he deserved it.", I said with a smile. She nodded her head with a grin. "I feel relieved", she rasped.
As night passed the cold creeped on us like a leech. I couldn't sleep as my body became sore. It was 5 when I came out. Thankfully the fire was still burning. I pulled my weight to the fire. That's when I noticed someone in there. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked.
Devil.
He was smoking. I sat close to fire enjoying the warmth. He looked at me and turned away. The thick jacket didn't help when a thick breeze flew across giving shiver. I snuggled closer to the fire.
"Want a smoke?", he extended his cigar. I shook my head, "I don't smoke". He shrugged and dragged his cigar and released the smoke slowly into the air. I sat on the chair a few afar from him. " So Connor huh?", he asked unanticipated.
"Excuse me?", I squinted my eyes. "Your target?", he said with a grim expression. "Target?", I recited baffled. "I have seen many girls like you. Acting coy to get boy's attention, make him believe you, enjoy all the beneficiaries that comes with him. Showing off your rich man", he said curtly and continued leaning forward with his hands on knees.
"You see money that's all it is. You think we don't know. At the end, you are the one being played", he said with lips set in a hard line.
I fisted my hands and gritted my teeth in anger. I walked in front of him menacingly. The dirty looks he was giving made me more furious. I yanked the cigar out of his. "Mister Dickhead, will you pull your head out of your ass and see that not everything is about money. You arrogant bastard. What the hell do you know about me? If your friend thinks the same, no all of you guys fuck yourselves. Fuck you. You think money makes you special, then you have to search for the non existent brain cells. I wasted five minutes getting angry at you. Have a very bad night", I stomped out of the place. Until then I didn't know I had in in me for a tirade.
