Chapter 124: She hates me
Caleb's POV
"Oh man, you look like you'd die soon!" Kian's voice screeches as I kept gulping my alcohol down.
Surprisedly, he was the only one I suddenly found solace in, despite our indifferent relationship.
I didn't even know how I got here. I knew when he saw me, he must be thinking I was over there to start a fight.
However, I just requested if he had alcohols. He was stunned but he offered me a space to crash in.
"She hates me" I cried, my face red as I inhaled softly while feeling nausea.
"You've been lacking sleep and thinner than expected, your company is at the loose end too, do you think amaris wants this?"
"Yes, she'd want me to die for what I did" I responded broken and thudding my fist on the table while exhaling again and again.
He was right beside me, eating chicken and fries and frustrated by me. It's a week since I've been with him.
I never thought my rival would become a friend out of the blue.
"Well, she deserves an award though for having to cope with a lunatic like you" he furthered, his mouth crunching bone and rubbed my forehead.
At this point, no insult hurts me again as only amaris filled me up. I shouldn't have suspected her when I'm a cheat myself.
I tried to grab a bottle of whiskey but Kian moved it away from me and shook his head.
"You haven't eaten, and you keep drinking on empty stomach!" Kian mused and my face grew ashen as I placed a doleful gaze at him.
He eyed me, cursing and then stood up to prepare some hangover soup for me. Now I see why amaris liked him.
He was a gentleman, and doesn't pick offense, he didn't even chase me away or acted like I've dealt with him horribly.
I rubbed my eyes, people were different and amaris isn't like other women in my past.
I was feeling drowsy as I placed my hand on the table to support my face.
"What are you even doing to make her realize you're different?" Kian's voice came in.
I jerked up, scrolling around and realized I was still at the dinning table, looking miserable.
That question was difficult to answer.
"I don't even know" I wailed almost shedding tears as finding her was harder than expected.
The thought of her always makes my heart bleed.
"I can't believe a woman made you like this Caleb, the usual you would have moved on but I see you like her" he confessed. The words seems to rumble in his throat as I sniffed.
Soon, he was out with a bowl of soup and he beckoned on me to eat up. However, i lost my appetite.
I flail my hands in the air, jittery and hiccups. I was unstable like I'd fall anytime soon from the chair I sat on.
"Why can't she just stick to me!" I lamented demonstrating and fight hard to keep awake.
A hiss escaped kian's lips as he scoffed and raked his left brow.
"This is reality Caleb, not like a romance book where the abused girl still stays with the villian" he mocked suddenly chuckling as he hits my head with the spoon in his hand.
I glared at him and snatched the spoon while staring at the spoon.
"You're bad at cooking Kian, my amaris is better!" I cried still forcing myself to take it.
He smirked at me and dragged the bowl of soup from me but I pulled it back.
"You gave it to me, it's not good to reject a gift, the worst is you the giver taking it back" I brawl and he heaved a sigh.
"I never knew i'd babysit an adult and your rent in my house has hiked up" he pointed out and I swallowed.
Of course, everyday, I'm paying him for the room I stay in. Wow, he is just unbelievable.
I thought he cares.
"You're robbing me Kian, I'm your boss"
"Ex-boss" he corrected and I sniffed, feeling better a bit as I drank the soup and cursed at him.
"I hope you find her Caleb, seeing like this gives me goosebumps" Kian added and I felt emotional yet again.
I now someone else who wishes me good luck too. Even if I don't treat them rightly, they still want the best for me.
"Can I hug you?" I said in a low tone and crying, I wasn't even embarrassed again, besides, amaris had seen me weep before.
That was when I lost my nanny who was like a mother to me. She comforted me, stayed beside me, encouraged me and tried to cheer me up.
"Jesus! No Caleb, just stick to where you are!" He screamed like that was the most abominable thing I just requested for.
"Fuck man, it's not like I said I want to kiss you" I mused wiping my tears and looking at the bowl of soup which was inviting me to drink more.
"Even if I was a gay, you'd be the last man on earth, you're not my type and we'd never cross path"
My jaw dropped as I felt insulted by that. Maybe that's how amaris feels about me.
I cried the more, and Kian was more frustrated as he closed his arms.
"Seriously, stop you're a grown man"
"I can't help it kiannnn, she should have been mine, why is she hurting me" I said hitting my chest to breath because i couldn't.
My phone rang and I shifted my eyes to the location. It was on the table, vibrating. Nervously, I stretched my hand and saw an unknown number.
Kian gestured to me to pick up and place on a loud speaker. I did just that and the voice I heard made my heart stop beating. My breath ceased and my diluted eyes suck in.
It was amaris! I'd never forget her serene and enchanting voice. She was calling me. I couldn't even speak or think.
Everything about me froze and the sleep threatening to consume me faded away.
