My life's only Lover

My loneliness grips tighter, but anger boils deep in me as well. I chose behind the pillar next to the wall of the main entrance, carefully walking closely, trying to listen to what they're talking about. 


"...Are we going to do it tonight?..." 


Even though it was muffled, that lovely, soft murmuring voice is definitely Sarah's. 


"...If you're not busy, where is he anyway?..." 


"...Okay, I'll see you tonight then..." 


Hearing all of this made me absolutely feel upset and disgusted. I grip my fist in anger as I am in disbelief that this is happening again. I then heard footsteps, coming going to my direction. The same who talked to her walked pass me and saw me standing behind the pillar. With a shock look on his face, he froze on his feet and stared bewilderingly at me. 


(Tskk...caught on you on the act, did I?)
