FVCK UP LOVE
CHAPTER FOUR
Emery Austin's POV
I went home after my first encounter with Robi and his girlfriend. It's now five o'clock in the afternoon, so I'll have to wait several hours before I can resume my normal nightlife routine.I am fond of barhopping and meeting different guys. It has been my routine since I started living independently.
I sat on the couch to take some rest. I was about to grab my phone when the doorbell rang. I didn’t order any food, so who is this anyway?
I walked towards the door to open it, but I immediately closed it upon seeing who was outside my room. What is he doing here? As far as I am concerned, I don’t have any unfinished business with that delicate guy. We settled it yesterday, right? The consequences of the golden rule were already settled.
He pressed the bell again. I rolled my eyes. If he will be caught on the building’s camera, maybe they will presume that there is something wrong again and I can’t manage to face any hindrances for my scheduled bar hopping tonight. And so I opened the door again.
"What?" I asked.
"Will you let me in?" he answered me with another question. I rolled my eyes for the nth time. He looks like garbage. So irritating.
"Come inside." I said.
Why did I let him in?
"What do you need?"
"I am just checking on you."
"Checking, because?" I am just wondering where he is getting his confidence. It seems like he has a lot of stored confidence because he is not ashamed of showing his face to me over and over again.
"Alright, I will be straight to the point, Emery. I want to see you."
I raised my brow.
"See me, because?"
"Why do you have a lot of questions? I told you yesterday that I have a crush on you, right?"
"Crush on you, my feet. You may now leave."
"But Emery..."
"Do I have to drag you outside?"
"Golden rule, Emery."
"Arghhhh! Fine! You can stay here, but just until eight in the evening!"
"Why?"
"Just be thankful because I let you stay here."
Then I leave him in the living area. I went to the kitchen to get some water. That delicate guy is really getting into my nerves!
I threw a deadly stare at the wall clock. Time must pass quickly.
I went back to the living area. The delicate guy is busy scanning my stuff. I just didn’t say even a single word because I don’t want to talk to him.
I forced myself to take a nap, just like what I did the moment we were locked in a room last night.
I woke up around eight thirty in the evening. I roamed around. Good thing he had already left.
I just ate some dinner, took a quick shower, and prepared myself.
After some time, I head straight to my first destination: the xxxx bar.
There are a lot more people that are present here tonight than usual. I went to the counter to order my favorite drink. I occupied the vacant stool at the center.
"Someone was looking for you last night, Emery." the bartender said.
Just like at school, I am also popular at this place. Who would have not known me when everything I do is beyond what is right, right?
"Who?" I asked the bartender.
"Jae."
And speaking of Jae, he is here. Beside me. Oh well, I did not see him coming.
"Hi, I missed you." he said while smiling.
I smiled back. Did he miss me or miss what happened the last time we shared ourselves together?
"Can I join you?" he asked.
"Of course," I said, then he occupied the seat beside me.
We were in the middle of our naughty conversation when I noticed a familiar face sitting not so far away from us. I paused for a while then narrowed my eyes.
"Delicate guy?" I said, loud enough to attract the attention of the guy sitting in a distance.
He looked towards different directions, trying to avoid me, trying to avoid us.
I grabbed Jae’s hand.
"Let’s drink somewhere else." I said while leading him outside the bar.
We used his car. We have decided to go to another bar nearby. But along the way, we suddenly stopped when we noticed someone was following us.
I went to the car to check who the hell he or she was.
I was shocked in a way to see that delicate guy. He is the one who is driving the car that’s following us. What does he think he is doing?
"Explain," I commanded.
But he is just staring at me. Jae moved closer to him.
"Who are you?"
"Cliff Piers Sandoval," he casually answered.
So his name is Cliff. This is the first time I have known his name. All this time I’ve been calling him "delicate guy."
"What do you need,Cliff?" Jae continued asking.
"I need Emery."
I closed my eyes. Such a shame we are having a conversation with this Cliff freak.
I held Jae’s hand, but before we finally left, I warned Cliff not to follow us again or else I would punch his face.
It was a good thing he didn’t follow us. Such a creepy guy. So right from the condominium unit, he followed me up to the bar? Unbelievable!
We decided to go to Jae’s place. I am not in the mood to continue my barhopping. That freaky guy ruined it.
"Do you know him, Emery?" Jae asked while driving.
"A freak neighbor."
He just nodded.
When we got into his place, he immediately prepared something to eat and of course, we continued to drink.
We have talked about a lot of things. From the non-sense one up to the serious one.
It was nearly two in the morning when we realized that we had drunk too much.
I closed my eyes. Oh look, I still have a class tomorrow and I may end up going to school again with a hangover.
I occupied the couch in the living room. It felt like the world was literally spinning, an indication that I had to stop and sleep.
Being hindered from a deep sleep, I felt someone was breathing next to my neck. A familiar gesture pulled me into a lustful trap.
I saw Jae as I slightly opened my eyes. He is now undressing me.
This is exactly what happened to us the last time we met.
He carried me all the way to his bed. My head still hurts, but my body is enjoying what is going on between me and this handsome guy.
He planted kisses on my body. Kisses are supposedly the sweetest, but it seems like something is missing.
I was comforted by his tight embrace, but it seems like it lacks the warmth I have been longing for.
Skin to skin, might be the closest, but nevertheless, I am still far from what my being is asking for.
We both stopped upon reaching the peak. We were both chasing our breath and in his arms, I fell asleep.
A light that is waking me up... my eyes slowly opened as I realized that the sun is finally up.
I looked at the clock. Oh shoot! I am running late again.
I immediately gathered all my clothes. My head is still hurting, but I have to attend my class. It’s for my favorite professor anyway.
"Good morning..." Jae greeted me.
"Good morning," I said back. I am not used to this. Maybe I am just allergic to any form of attachment. I should have not slept here after all.
