Chapter 11 HIS LIPS

"What happened? Talk fast so that I will know immediately!" Alem was very excited, she was shouting so loud. My poor ear, it hurts.

I told her what had happened. Nothing much happened because I was the only one doing the moves. It was like Laurent pretty much hates girls, especially like me. Until when does he avoid girls?

"I hope he likes you too! That's a dream come true!" Alem was thrilled. She could possibly die in happiness. She wanted me to have a lover.

"Look who's here! The slut!" We turned our attention to the speaker, Gela again and her two shrimps. She was crossing her arms and raising her right eyebrow to us. Their faces were usually clowned-like. Do they not have a mirror to see how ugly they are?

"You are flirting with Laurent! You are a piece of trash!" Her arms were still folded and her eyebrows were raised.

"You want to taste my forceful lap?" Alem said calmly and positioned himself as far as Gela's face could be.

"Hey! Do not talk to the queen like that!" Said the other shrimp. I do not know her name and I do not want to know.

"You are ugly especially your character. Therefore, you are still ugly." Alem insults them so much. Nothing came out in his mouth except the world ugly. I grabbed his arm to restrain her.

"How dare you!" Suddenly there was a commotion. They were fighting, pulling their hair and shouting so loud. We were in trouble. Gela pulled my hair, it hurts so much. I did not fight back because I knew in myself that I did not do anything. I do not fight, I do not want this. I have no idea how to hurt people. I have never hurt anyone. That is the lesson of my parents, I will never break the rules even though they are not here to guide me.

"That is enough, Gela," I begged her but he only tightened his grip on me which made me suffer. She is ruthless.

I saw the two of them tweaking Alem but she would never let them win, she fought back to the point that they were crying in pain. She scratched them, the reason for their bruises. The two lost to her because of Alem's courage. They will never let her down.

Gela is still pulling my hair. Does she never stop?

"Hey!" That voice of Ardent's echoed. He approached and pushed Gela away. He gently pulled me back and placed me behind him.

"You! If you were not just a girl I would have punched you! Stop messing with my friends. I might not be able to be patient next time!" He shouted angrily at them. His palm was clenched and he seemed very mad. It was like anytime, he could hurt those three girls.

"Wow! The prince charming," Gela said angrily, she has a smirk on her lips.

I stopped the two girls who were tweaking Alem. It is hard for me to stop them. Alem was still chasing them to pull their hair. She was so mad as if she would bury them alive in soil.

Ardent approached me.

"Are you okay?"

"We are not yet done, Trash!" The three marched away from us.

"I am fine." I smiled at Ardent.

Ardent grabbed my hair and gently touched it, massaging.

"You are so sweet," Alem said to Ardent with a smile. She approached and pointed to her hair as well.

"It hurts too but I think it hurts more when I tweak them." She showed us the hair she got from the two girls, so Ardent and I laughed.

"You are serious," Ardent said laughing. He touched the hair of Alem, too.

"Does it hurt? It is like you two are kids, still fighting. ” Ardent shook his head in disbelief.

I was just surprised when someone suddenly pulled me away from Ardent. When I looked back it was Laurent.

"Laurent!" I said with a smile. He was looking at Ardent, so bad, so sharp. Is he annoyed with him? "Do not touch her again." He insisted to Ardent.

"Who are you for me to follow?" aArdent voice was brave and anytime he could fight. He took my hand closer to him.

"Do you want to try what I can do?" Laurent said calmly but in tone with pride and threat. He pushed my waist away from Ardent.

I have already intervened with them.

"Chill guys. What are you arguing about?"

"You," they said together.

I was devastated by what they said. Me? Why was I the reason?

"Why are you with that person, Anmela? You do not even know him very well," Ardent said irritably. His look was still on Laurent.

I was stunned by what he said. Of course I do not know him very well but like what I always said, it is okay because I love him.

"You should not know me, you will suffer." Laurent's face was calm but angry.

"Why don't you tell him? Who are you?" I saw Ardent's palm clench.

I rubbed my forehead. Why do they fight? I was so frustrated. I have no idea what to do with these two men.

"Come on, Anm." Ardent pulled me away, but Laurent immediately grabbed me and pulled me back from him. I was so dizzy because of them, pulling me left and right. I could not understand what they were arguing about.

"You should be thankful because you are her friend because if you are not…You will be erased in this world.” Laurent still had a sharp look and then pulled me away. I whispered 'I'm sorry' to Ardent before we finally walked away.

I just followed him. He took me to the clinic in his office. I watched him lock the door.

"Why did you lock it?" I stared at his eyes.

"I hate the noise coming from the outside."

He sat down in front of the table. "Do not go with the other guy, Anmela Eris."

"Huh? But he is my friend."

He stood up and approached me. I was stepping backward and backward until I felt the wall on my back.

"You are dating me, aren't you? How come you are going with another man?" His face is too close to mine. He even put his hand on my side so I was trapped.

"I thought you did not like me?" I was nervous. My body was shaking, swallowing my saliva because his gaze landed on my lips. I could not help, but to look at his lips, too.
