MORTAL ENEMY

How to describe this? Your ex-boyfriend is sitting elegantly in front of you. Although he aged too much, his looks still remains. And you, is facing him, secretly shaking, and clenching your fists.

Daveryl sip on his orange juice. He is thinking. 'How the hell, it turned out like this?' It feels like it happened just yesterday. When he and Cedric was talking inside his library, making love while drunk.

He saw the man placed down his drinks and fixes his necktie after. "So, What do you have to tell me?" He needs to finish this conversation quickly.

"Then, I will be frank with you Mr. Ortega. Please, stop pestering my son anymore. As a father, I hate seeing him being distressed because of you."

Would you look at him, Cedric looks so unapproachable and overpowering while talking. If he just didn't know him, he maybe runaway already.

"Please don't be scared of me, I'm just worried about my son.. I know you like hi-"

"Mr. Lopez, I think you're mistaken." Daveryl cut off his sentence out of irritation.

Cedric look at him confused. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Your son, is the one who is pestering me now. He even visited me at the hospital just after you left. As far as I remember, you said, you grounded him, right?" Daveryl drink his orange juice again before continuing. "In fact, he also blocked my way to classroom this morning, and we even fought."

Cedric frown. "Fought?"

Is he thinking if they fought physically? What an overprotective father. Will he also be like this if he is the one who became his Omega? Impossible, of course.

"Oh! Don't misunderstood, we fought through quiz. Well, unfortunately for him, he lost." He smile proudly in front of Cedric. Simply telling him that, I decided to takes what's originally mine.

He saw Cedric raised his brows. And little by little, he smile and laugh afterwards. "I'm sorry, I can't control myself from laughing." He said, while covering his mouth. "You said he lost? With you?" Cedric is peeking at him with his fingers trying to block his sight.

"Unbelievable isn't it? He got 3 mistakes, while I dont." Daveryl shrugged. Showing his confidence to the man. He look at his watch and tapped it three times. He then look at Cedric who is now looking at his finger.

What's wrong? Why does he staring at my finger intently? He asked on his mind.

"Well, I'm sorry to say this but, I should go now Mr. Lopez, my schoolmates are waiting for me to come back to our school. We still have classes." He stood up to say goodbye but the man is still in daze.

He doesn't know why, but he assumed, maybe Cedric is feeling disappointed to his son. When he noticed that Cedric has no sign of talking, he turned around to leave. But when he was about to go, his arm is being held by him.

Surprised and anxious, he look at Cedric with frown. "Excuse me?" He said.

He felt Cedric hands trembles but it's not what piqued his attention the most. What's more is that, Cedric looks pale. Is he sick?

"Excuse me, sir. Are you alright? You look sick. Should we call an ambulance?" While talking, he glance at his new friends who also approached them.

"What's wrong? Is he alright?" Lander is the one who talks.

"Dunno, he just grabbed my arm." He answered.

On the other hand, Cedric is feeling nauseous. There's something on his mind that keeps replaying. That tapping on watch while looking at the time, that is the habit of Ricky. He recognized it because he always sees him doing that. Is it possible? That two persons have the same habit?!

He loosened his grip, he then stood up and lower his head to apologize. "I'm sorry, I startled you, I was feeling dizzy a while ago, but I'm fine now. Thank you." He said.

His crazy by thinking that maybe Ricky is still alive. It's impossible that he is the father of Daveryl because, he saw Daveryl's father. But, why does he feels restless?

"Oh! Okay.. Then, goodbye." He heard the young man said.

He just nodded his head and let him go. Yeah, it's impossible that Ricky is still alive. Because if he does, he knew, he will not be quiet and just watch him enjoying his wealth which he stole from him. It'll be great if that man is already ruining his life, they are mortal enemies, right?

Time passed too fast, it's already afternoon.

Daveryl entered the huge house of his guardian. He feels tired, Jobel didn't stop following him all day! Luckily, his new friends is helping him to push him away. And also, he can't concentrate to his classes because of the meeting with Cedric. He seat on the sofa in front of him.

He then look up and close his eyes to let out a deep sigh. Thinking if how will he start ruining Cedric after he ruined his son?

"That's quite deep, your sigh I mean."

He startled. He straightened his back when he heard Jaime talking to him. He arrived? Or he just arrived?

".... Did that bother you?" He asked.

"Quite a bit. You didn't go directly to your room but rest here first. Is my living room suits your needs?" Jaime takes the seat in front of him and look at him.

Daveryl just noticed, this man is wearing grey colored v-neck long sleeves. And his adams apple looks so... yummy. Ehem, erase that. Jaime is a perfect description of the perfect made of handsomeness. From his eyes that when looking at you, it feels like undressing you. Ehem, erase that again. His thick brows matches his deep black eyes. The perfect shaped nose that perfectly matched with his heart shaped lips.

"If you wanted to tell me something, say it. Stop staring at me like that."

It surprised him. He's staring at him too much? Well, why not? The man in front of him is so handsome. "Can't help it, you're too perfect to look at." He secretly bit his tongue for saying that.

Jaime raised his brows and he smirked. "I know." He said.

What the fuck? Where is the humbleness?! Daveryl wanted to yell at Jaime's face but he chose to shut his eyes closed. He then shook his head while smiling. It's impossible to beat a man who see himself perfect! Yup! Literally no one can beat that!

"It's unprofessional and it's not ethical." He said while controlling himself to laugh.

Especially when he saw the man pause and stare at him with furrows brows. He look so clueless that he even gulped.

"Nyeahh.." Jaime said while nodding.

"Pfft!"

"Why are you laughing?"

"Opps! Sorry. My bad." He said.

The man didn't answer and just continue to look at him. Then to his surprise, Jaime suddenly leaned closer.

"W-What?" He asked.

"Who did you meet?"

"Huh?"

Why he asked that suddenly? Daveryl tilted his head and answered. "I am with my classmates this whole day."

"Are they alphas?" Jaime is asking as if he did wrong?

"The two of them are alphas and the other one is Omega. Why?"

He paused. "Then, who did you meet outside the campus?" Jaime continue to asked.

Now it came to his mind. He met Cedric and talked to him for long. Wait, did he emit his pheromones to him?

"No one.. Do i.. Smell alpha's pheromones?" He needs to lie, he can't tell him about Cedric meeting him.

Why? Because he knows for sure, Jaime will think that Cedric is harrasing him to stay away from his son. If that happened, there's no way he can do his revenge.

He saw him staring at him intently. But after a while, the man crossed his legs and gave him a business look.

"Daveryl, you're a Beta. You knew that once an Alpha marked a Beta, that Beta will turned into Omega, right?"

Oh! So it's a reminder from a guardian.

"I know. No need to remind me." He answered.

"Great.. By the way, how's your school?"

Changing the topic after getting an answer. How professional indeed. Well, it's great that he didn't ask more. He actually have no idea how to support his lie any longer.

"Perfect. And I guess, it'll be more interesting in the next incoming days." He said meaningfully.

He knows for sure, Jobel will always follow him inside the campus. It's not even surprising if the man also started stalking him from today's onwards. It's just that, he feels empty.

"May I ask you something?" He asked Jaime who is now flipping the book he grabbed from he doesn't know where.

"En."

"Is Mr. Cedric Lopez has a daughter?"

There's a reason why he asked that, but the man in front of him seems to noticed his plans?

"Why are you so interested to the family of your crush? I thought you don't like him anymore?"

Daveryl slowly stood up before answering. "I don't, but I didn't say that I'm not interested in him anymore?" He said before turning away.

The man on the living room left speechless.
