Chapter Six

LIAM BENJAMIN

Wendy noticed that the tension between Martin and me was building again, so she changed the subject. "Ahm Aerielle, I want to show you something," she said as she sits right next to Erie.

Erie smiled and it seems she's excited at what Wendy will show to her. What thing will she show Erie? She didn't say anything about it while we were on the bus a while ago.

"Really? What's that? Is that food?"

"Food really, love? Are you hungry again? You're just going to eat, hm? My love is really a greedy baby," Martin said to Erie as he pinched her cheeks and... he brings his face closer to Erie and gives her a nose kiss.

In just a snap, all the blood rushed to my head at what Martin had done. This idiot really pisses me off. There was no time he wasn't able to infuriate me, and he always wins on his agenda.

Is this his malevolent plan to make me bitter today? Well, if it is yes? Yes! I'm envious! I'm so freaking jealous! I'm always jealous every time I see them together, I supposed to be the one with Erie now and not him!

Wendy just looked at them with disgust on her face, she turned her gaze on me. Yeah, I fucking know Wendy, it's too cringe and fuck! It's sickening!

Before I could get angry, I looked at Wendy and whispered, "what's up ?!" She was still searching for something in her bag, but she didn't take out anything.

"Wait!" She whispered back to me. "Um yes, excuse me?" she interrupts the two from what they're doing, "guys, maybe you forgot Liam and I are still here? You know, you can continue that smooching when we leave?"

Erie removed Martin's hand that was holding her cheek and adjusted her seat. She looked embarrassed by Martin's actions because she lowered her head and I could see the redness on her cheek.

Did she shudder at what Martin did so her cheeks turned like a cherry? She shouldn't be in love with that man! She should be thrilled only for me!

Martin just laugh at Wendy's interruption and he put his arm around Erie's shoulder, "you always see us flirting, aren't you used to it?"

And did he even really get to hug my Erie?

I feel like my face switched into red with so much annoyance because of what this most destructive douchebag doing.

I really wanted to hit his face, but I had to hold back, I didn't want Erie to see me fighting. She wanted to avoid seeing a scar on my face, but that was then. When she hadn't forgotten me yet. Maybe if Martin and I fight in front of her today, she won't approach me or even look at me. Definitely Martin is the first one she will approach because who am I in her eyes now?

I'm just a friend she doesn't remember. A friend she only knew who now existed in her life...

To the extreme annoyance, I felt I could no longer restrain myself from engaging in their conversation. "Yeah, we're used to seeing that you two are always flirting. But you know what's privacy means?" I said full of irritation, but I don't let Martin sees that I'm affected with his act. I don't want him to see me that I'm annoyed by his mischievousness. I know he'll be delighted if he sees me that I'm pissed. But this asshole just laughed annoyingly and moved even closer to Erie.

"Of course you're really used to see us like this, and yes, I know what privacy means. We're here inside this room. No one else can see what we are doing, so we can do whatever we want to."

This fucktard is getting into my nerves! "Yes, you can do whatever you want, but please? Be sensitive on your actions and have some shame on people around you."

He just grinned more foolishly and hugged Erie so tight, he almost rubbed his face on Erie's neck. He was really exhausting my patience. Just a bit more and I'll be hit hard of this shit again!

"Be sensitive to our actions? Why? It's normal for a couple to flirt even if there are other people around them, and have shame on people around us? You and Wendy are the only ones here, so why should we be ashamed? Unless... you're jealous of us? Your girlfriend is there, why don't you woo her too? We will not look at you. Right, love?"

I'm really annoyed with Martin's answer, I want to kick his face. I was about to step closer to him, but I was startled by Wendy's sudden scream.

"Oh no! No, no no no no!"

"Why? What is it?" Erie looks worried.

Wendy's look at Erie full of dismay. She wrapped her both arms around on Erie's arm, reason for Martin to unwrapped his fucking and filthy arms on her.

Okay? Wendy seems helping me to divert Erie's attention. That's great, Wendy. It's good and you've caused something helpful now, and you're not just pissing the hell out of my life like Martin.

"Aerielle, sorry. I forgot where I put that thing. It's not here in my bag," Wendy whined.

"Which one? The thing you will show me?" She just nodded exaggeratedly, as if she's going to cry. Erie laughed at her gesture and patted his arm, "it's alright. You can show me that next time."

But Wendy is really in verge of crying and any moment she will have hysterical. "No! It's not fine! I want it to show you that so bad!"

"You can show me that, maybe tomorrow, then..."

"But I want to show you it, like now! I think I was left that in my room."

"You're acting childish again, Wendy. She said it's fine, stop your drama now," Martin said, irritation is obvious in his voice. Wendy just rolled her eyes and tantrums again, but she was stunned for a moment and suddenly, her eyes lit up looking at Martin.

"Hey Martin, you have a car, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, why?" Martin replied with his bored look.

"Great! Let's get what I'm going to show Aerielle."

Martin just gazed at her with his bored face. "You can show that stupid thing to her next time. Just come back tomorrow if you're too excited to show it to her."

Wendy is still insisting what she wants. "I really want to show her that! Please come with me," she pouts, but it doesn't seem like her cuteness working to Martin because it makes him look irritated even more.

"Can't you wait for tomorrow?"

"Of course not, it's my birthday gift to Aerielle, beanpole," she replied calmly.

Birthday gift? Erie's birthday is one week from now. She wasn't obviously excited about my baby's birthday and bought a gift right away.

"Her birthday is still long. Just show that nonsense thing to her some other time."

"Really? Your gift for me?" Erie's eyes glimmered at what she heard. She doesn't like material gifts, but maybe she was just happy with Wendy's surprise.

"Umm hmm! Do you want to see it? Of course, I'm so sure you want to see it so bad, right?" Wendy replied as her eyebrows wiggled.

"Ahm--"

"Let's go, Martin! Don't you hear Aerielle? She wants to hold it! Can't you see her bum adorable face, hm?" She cupped Erie's face and turned it to Martin, "see? Don't you feel sorry? You don't really go with me, and you choose to make her sad for the whole day?!"

Erie had no idea what Wendy was doing, so she just smiled awkwardly at Martin. But annoyance was obvious in the fiber of his face, maybe he could feel Wendy's wicked plan.

"Can you-" he couldn't finish what he was going to say because Wendy got up and approached him to pull him upright.

"Come on! Don't keep Aerille waiting."

"Hold on! I did not agree--"

"Aerielle, you want to see it, don't you?" she asked Erie again.

Even though she looked confused by what was happening, she still replied, "ahm... Y-yes?"

Wendy's face lit up even more. "See? She wants to see it. Come on!" she forcefully pulled Martin out of the room.

"What the fuck are you doing? Let go of my arm! I'm not--"

"Stop whining! Let's goooooooo." But before they leave, Wendy smiled secretly and winked at me.

Uh... So, this is the help she's talking about? I didn't see this coming. Wendy did that to Martin, knowing how much she was afraid of that man?
