Chapter 17 Noelle

"Why even does it bother you?" I reply irritatedly as I roll my eyes.

"Nothing but it's a scenic pleasure seeing you lying down looking pissed" he chuckles.

"HA HA HA" I throw mockingly at his face.

"You are" he says while coming infront of me and sitting down on his knees, "Such a rascal!" he laughs into my face.

I turn my head away and he brushes my hair. I can't help but look up again at him.

"You have really sparkly eyes" he mumbles as he continues to brush my hair.

"Audum?" Zeroni comes screaming in and he rises up.

UGH this idiotic Zeroni! I really wanted Audum to continue talking to me like this and suddenly out of hell this lady appeared!

"He won't" follows Reece as he comes from her behind.

Audum stares at these two fellas and Reece breaks the conversation with

"Hi girly! You live here?"

"Hi" I speak awkwardly as the other two people make a stare at me as though I am a raccoon seated over here.

"Okay so I told her that you won't come along but she doesn't believe me" Reece continues his conversation with Audum.

"Why, sweetie? Why aren't you joining us?" asks Zeroni to Audum. I can't help but roll my eyes. Damn she's such a blabber!

"I don't wish to" replies Audum unrelinquishly.

"But sweetie, this party is organised for you and you're not showing up? That's not done, is it?" says Zeroni.

"That's the whole point!" throws Reece and he joins me on the sofa as Zeroni and Audum turn towards him.

"See, there was a race. You won. We have a party for you and you're unbothered about it. Why man?" Reece continues to say to his brother.

"Audum, you should really come. See you're even dressed in black. Aww, my heart" Zeroni hits out.

"Bro, she doesn't even give this hell of an importance to her boyfriend, I feel like you should really come, what say?" interrupts Reece.

Boyfriend? Where the hell is this conversation leading to? And then there's Audum who won't reply to these two studs here.

Speak up, dude! I look at him with such expressions.

"Really. Please come along!" Zeroni insists like a twelve year old.

Audum takes a few steps ahead and then turns back. "I'll pass" he says so effortlessly.

"NO!" Zeroni and Reece scream together.

Reece gets up and walks Zeroni along with him. "See I told you, he won't come" his words fade away as he leaves the door with Zeroni and I could sense the puffed up face she has right now. Haha, all for good!

"We're here then" smirks Audum as he closes the door.

"And why did you choose not to go there?" I ask.

"That's certainly my business and certainly others shouldn't be bothered about it" he replies and I roll my eyes.

"Do you have any indoor games here?" he asks.

"Yes!" I rise up and fetch him the chess board sitting on my study.

My mood all of a sudden is so refreshed and nicey nicey that I am just afloat on the ninth cloud!

"Do you even know how it is played?" Audum mocks at me.

"Try me!" I retaliate.

He chuckles and places it on the floor. I sit over too arranging the pieces for him and we start to play the game.
