Heartbeat

"I am sorry, I wouldn't like you to be in my company," I said trying my best to remain polite as much as I could.

I wanted to keep Nick by my side, not to make things worse for me. Besides, I don't know how temperamental Nick is, if he sees me with Samuel will he trouble my life out, or simply just behave as if he hasn't seen anything?

Many questions flooded my head and I don't seem to find the appropriate answers to these questions.

Samuel followed the direction of my eyes, and I could tell he saw Nick too, because then, his expression changed completely, he looked at me with understanding dawning in his mind.

Clearing his throat, he said in a mocking and annoying tone.
