CHAPTER SIXTY SIX

　　“Wait” Lucian called after. I ignored his call as I hastened my steps but who was I kidding. I knew how fast he was. He grabbed my arm making me stop.

　　“Hey, hey. Hey. Didn’t you hear me call you?” He asked with a frown.

　　“Ahem_ sorry about that. I honestly did not hear you” I lied.

　　“OK” he replied.

　　Breaking the silence I asked “So why did you come after me?”

　　“Yeah about that, I wanted to know why you decided to leave the table early”

　　“Oh I’m sorry. I’m I supposed to leave last as part of my duty?” Mind you I was being very sarcastic. Why else did he want from me. Everything was already beginning to tire me.

　　“No, no. not that Raina. I just thought you were upset” Now he sounded upset.

　　“No I’m not. Why would you think that?” I asked.

　　“Nothing” I gave me a ‘really’ look. Did I really think that I was going to fall for that?

　　“Ok, fine. You leave the gathering whenever you get upset and sometimes you do not even say anything at all.” He defended.
