Chapter 30 What's going on?

Chapter thirty
After the movies, we came to the beach and here we are.
"How was the movie?"
"Not bad but I don't love it," I say as I tie the bandana over my head. I've already changed into black shorts and a chiffon shirt while Michael is in grey shorts and a white t-shirt.
"Why?"
"Because the plot isn't real. It's not possible to love two people at the same time. One would go for one. If you realized you started loving a second person, then you must have fallen out of love for the second one", I say with a smile," I want to ride a horse, "I say pointing at a horse afar from us.
"Right, I will be back," he says and walks away. I heave a deep sigh. I feel so good, seriously.
That reminds me of Dave and I can't doubt the fact that he made me feel so good yesterday night too. And I feel so bad letting him down like that. I even have the opportunity to tell him I wouldn't be able to make it. Where the fuck did I keep my phone anyway?
"Hey!" Someone snap in front of me. I blink once, then jerk out of my thoughts. I look up at the lady from the other time, Michael's ex-girlfriend. What's she doing here? "You must be Jones".
How did she know my name?
" Who are you?" I tried to sound tough but the voice came out more shaky than I thought. I don't think she notices anyways. She might that I'm a stammerer.
"I'm Betty and I'm Michael's girlfriend", my heart hammers wildly at the confession. I couldn't say a word, I just stare," And I'm using this opportunity to tell you to stay away from my man. He loves me ok? I was the one that broke his heart and I'm here to mend it. So, count yourself as the third party and do what you are supposed to do", she stare at me again, as if she was checking me out before walking away.
I release the breath I didn't even know I was holding. Wait for a second, Michael told me he loved me, why then would he love Betty too? Well, I did saw him kiss her which explains something.
I sigh and look up at the sky. I won't cry, it's not worth it. I should have known Michael isn't in my league. Why do I even think I can compare myself with his model-like girlfriend? I am going to fail woefully.
"Hey, Bae!" Michael interrupts with a wide smile on his face. I try to smile too but fail, "Your horse is on the way! Do you need a knight?" he jokes
I smile faintly, "Thanks"
Michael moves nearer, with a straight face, "Are you ok?"
I nod once, "Yea, Im just tired. Perhaps I can ride the horse later," sincerely speaking, I don't know why I feel so tired. Should I tell Michael I just spoke with Betty? Well, it won't make any difference. I just don't know what to think about right now. I need some time to think.
Michael places his palm over my forehead, "You aren't burning. Well, let go back to the hotel then," he says and I smile at him. Should I believe his words or should I believe Betty's words?
I couldn't stop thinking about the words Betty said to me. She called me a third party. Maybe I should have given her the piece of my mind too. But how can I just go ahead spouting nonsense as she did? But gosh, I used to be so brave, I use to hold my dignity up so high in the sky until Dave came and stamped on it, ruining every bit of it that I don't think I have none left.
I watch the houses on our way back to the hotel. I just stare anyways because my mind is very much far away from it. Maybe I'm not meant to stay happy.
I get down from the car and walk inside quickly so I wouldn't have to walk with Michael. But he meets up with me when I was almost about to enter my room. He holds my hand and whirls me around to look at him. He uses his hands to feel my cheek and that was when I realize I've been crying.
"Why are you crying?"
I shake my head negatively," I wasn't crying, "I say but my voice sounds like a croaked whisper.
" Did something happened when I was away to get a horse?" I didn't say anything, I just stare at him. I don't even know where to start talking. God, I don't want to lose Michael. I love him so much. My heart aches so much to find out that a piece of him is still out there. Maybe I'm the Macho in Michael's life. Or maybe I'm the Ryan. God, why can't this be so simple for me?" Jones, I want you to trust me. I_" he stops suddenly, looking up ahead of me. His hands-on me falter and I whirl around to look at what he's looking at.
What! Dave!
Dave moves closer, stopping before me. He gives Michael a dirty glare before looking my way. I shiver at the unusual stare he's giving me.
"Jones, I need to speak with you", his voice softens and the guilt I've been feeling about not calling him earlier to inform him about the change of plans suddenly vanish.
"She's not seeing you," Michael cut in before I could speak. I sigh, frustrated.
Why are these two at hedgehog?
"Was I referring to you?" Dave looks at him now.
"You are speaking with her boss. So, I have every right to answer that for her"
Dave chuckled," Are you saying you go ahead monitoring your employees' personal life because you employed them?"
" That's none of your business!"Michael yells behind me. I look back at him and my eyes went wider and black. I have never seen Michael behave like this.
"Michael!" I call but he wouldn't even look my way.
"Leave now while I'm still asking you!" Michael's deep voice sends chills down my spine.
" Or what!"Dave's thick voice also rings aloud.
Before I could blink, Michael hit Dave across the face sending him reeling back. I run to Dave in fear, then look back at Michael still fuming behind me.
What is this!
