Chapter 24 (Ignore)
Sebe and I had a fight that didn't stop me from going to Jen's birthday.
It was Jen's birthday, so there were no cakes or anything ready. Pure drink and honey were what she wanted. We are here now in Alcobar. Because I was so mad at him, I didn't say goodbye.
There are only three of us here at the table. Clinton just left, bringing Kylie here.
I chose the mild drink on the table.
"Sad?" Kylie commented to me.
I immediately nodded. I'm not in the mood.
"Come on! It's my birthday! Why is your face like that?" She and her boyfriend broke up again.
"It's your birthday, not mine." Lifeless, I said, and I gulped down a bottle of Smirnoff.
The bitter taste immediately spread through my throat.
"You fought?" Kylie asked.
I nodded.
"Oh! Was he jealous?"
"How did you know?"
"Clinton told me that Sebe's furious. You know you need to adjust, Nat. Maybe he's tired, so he needs tenderness."
Good. I hope she can apply this advice to her own love life!
I discarded the snout of the bottle.
"Sure. It's my fault too. He's damn possessive."
"Clinton also. It's in their bloodline that that's how it is!" She chuckled.
She's right.
"Let's dance," Kylie invited me.
I nodded immediately, and Jenn pulled them over. I am wearing an old, above-the-knee dress. The long hair is still tangled.
Jenn immediately raised her hand, still holding the drink bottle, and danced.
"Whoo!" Jenn screamed.
I think I'm exhausted from Jen's energy. I traced my curves from my legs up to my shoulder. I do it repeatedly; suddenly, the hem of my dress was unintentionally pulled up.
So, it went up a bit, and the other part of my thigh came out. I didn't mean that. After a while, someone pulled me away. My chest immediately throbbed.
"You're done for tonight," he whispered sharply in my ear, and I just nodded at Kylie and Jenn.
I bit my lip so hard right away that it pulled me out.
The dancers were relieved to see Sebastian and me passing by. It looked like a king and was given way in the middle because they stepped aside one after another.
He brought me to her cousins' table. I heard Radleigh whistle.
"Damn your eyes, Radleigh." Comment by Sebe.
"What?" Rad chuckled.
Sebe is very jealous now. Sebe just glanced at him with a serious look.
Radleigh raised his hand as if giving up. Rad is naughty. Is he not used to it yet? Sebe took his key fob from the table.
"We get going," Sebe said goodbye in a baritone voice.
I don't know how he knew I was here. Based on his face, he just woke up. He looked so exhausted, wearing a plain white t-shirt and sweat shorts. Effortless elegance, even simple, is distracting.
He took my hand and ushered me into his car. He even glanced at my dress before closing it.
I immediately pulled my dress down to cover the other skin, even though I knew it was impossible to hide.
I don't want to seduce him inside his frigging car!
"You drink?"
I sighed.
"Yeah." I played with my finger and couldn't look at him. I walked as my heart softened toward him. I really can't stand being mad at him.
He made his way back to our house. I don't know why I seem to object to that. It seems like I want something different. but I can't tell.
Until his car finally stopped in front of our gate.
I sighed and languidly unclasped the seatbelt.
I bit my lip after that. I looked at him.
He's not looking at me.
"I'm sorry." My voice trailed off.
He still doesn't look at me. My tears well up.
"You still mad?" I asked in a low tone.
"Yeah," he answered lazily. I grabbed his arm.
When he didn't look up, I squatted down to shake his head and kissed him on the lips.
His jaw tightened immediately. I was about to let go of the kiss and sit down again when he pulled my nape back and kissed me deeply.
Although I was shocked, I still responded to his kiss, especially when he grabbed me and sat me on his lap.
He's cupping my face. He's thirsty, and his stressed kisses make me moan. He gasped as his forehead rested on my forehead.
He licked his lips.
"Why are you there?" he huskily asked.
I immediately wrapped my hand around his neck. "Jen's birthday."
"You drink," he stated. "How many?"
"Just two bottles."
"And you dance, huh?" he mocked.
I groaned and kissed him. "I said I'm sorry." He didn't kiss me back.
"Uh-uh." He sighed.
"Please don't be mad."
He immediately buried his face in my neck. There are no people on the street here with us. The only light was coming from the pole.
"You know my weakness, Natalia. Even though I'm angry, I still love you."
"I love you too."
"I'm fucking jealous. I'm sorry." He spoke.
I immediately smiled. "We're okay, now?"
He shook his head. "No."
"What?" But he turned me back and hugged me.
He started his car.
"Where are we?" I will ask.
"You want us to be okay, right?" he asked.
I buried my face in his neck. One of his hands hugged me while the other drove.
"In my condo. I want to cuddle," he said seriously, kissing my shoulder.
It's annoying to have a fiancé, but thrilling.
As time went on, Sebe became even busier. Even though he was busy, they continued to look for Mike. Even though I don't know anything about it, I can see that it works.
He doesn't tell me because he doesn't want me to think about such things.
I sleep all day. I feel tired! I picked up the cellphone immediately under the bed and dialed Sebe's number.
Yesterday, we did not meet. They have a meeting.
"Sebe." I just rubbed my forehead because I felt like I had a fever.
"Yeah," he replied tiredly. He's cold. Is there something wrong with us?
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah." His answer was short.
"Is there a problem?"
I feel different. There seems to be something wrong.
"No, I am just tired."
Okay, I will understand him. It's normal for him to get tired.
"Are you still in the office? Do you want me to bring you some food? I'll cook pasta."
"Don't worry. I'm going home."
I immediately fell silent. It's normal because he's tired.
I closed my eyes and turned off the call. I just ignored our conversation.
