Malachi

I've been on this table for the past thirty minutes and I can't say I've heard a word they've been saying. The girl, Vicky that Gabe has been going off about is currently sitting beside me. She tried to talk to me a few times, I did not respond so now she's chatting away with someone else.

I could not focus on a single thing but Malachi and his date, sitting four tables to my right. I keep turning to see them and my stomach drops each time. What the hell is wrong with me anyway. Its not like were dating or something. He's just a friend. A bloody friend.

"Tobs, are you sure you're good?" Gabe asks for the millionth time since I came.

"yeah bro, I am fine." I snap.

"wow. Okay dude. I'll let you be."

I scowl at him and turn to look and Malachi and his date again. The girl seems to be giggling at everything he says, pushing her big boobs up, rubbing Malachi's fingers on the table. Just doing too much. He move his finger to wipe something off the corner of her lips.

No. I can't bare this anymore. Malachi is mine. To look, to touch, to laugh with and everything. I can't bare to see him intimate with someone else. So I get up like the fool I am, ignoring the Gabe and his friends calling out to me and walk over to his table.

The closer I get, the more I lose my courage. I get there and I just stand behind him unable to say a word. What if he gets angry at my interruption. He is definitely going to think I'm a freak now.

The girl sees me standing there facing her and tells Malachi.

"babe, there's some creep standing behind you"

Babe? What the fuck? Anger helps me build back my courage. "hi Mal." I sneered. So he has a girlfriend? And I've been crushing on him this whole time? Why did he fucking lie to me.

He turns to look at me and I tell you, if I wasn't watching his expression closely I wouldn't have seen the slight shock on his face because its so minute.

He schooled his expression back to blank. "hi Tobi. Fancy meeting you here." fancy? Who the fuck says that anymore.

"yeah yeah. Is this your girlfriend?"

He looks taken aback by my question.

"oh yes I am. My name is Ada. Nice meeting you." The girl says with her hands outstretched. I eye the hand like its infested with something and turn my attention back to Mal.

"I didn't know you have a girlfriend." I say with a fake smile plastered on my face.

"because I don't." he says plainly which confuses me.

"but she just admitted that she is your girlfriend."

He turns to the girl. "why did you say you're my girlfriend. You're not. We're just fucking."

She gasps. "what the hell Mal."

"don't call me that."

"but he just did." She shouts. Heads turn to our table and I glare at them. I see Gabe trying to come over and I wave him off and mouthed to him to go back.

I turn back to Mal and I see that he's pulling his wallet out and removing his card.

He calls the waiter and before turning to Ada. "I don't know what the hell got into you tonight, and I don't care to know. This arrangement is over." He tells her and pays up when the waiter comes.

"common Mal… Malachi. I'm sorry okay. I was just kidding." He ignores her, stands up, grabs my forearm and pulls me out the door of the bar.

I hear someone calling my name and I turn to see Gabe following us.

"hey, I got this, I'll be with you guys shortly." I tell him and hopes he stays back. He looks at me for a second before shrugging and heading back inside.

Malachi stops us at the front of his car.

"what was that in there?" he asks looking pissed. Oh shit.

"what?" I feign ignorance. Fuck he looks really good. His pink luscious lips looks really inviting. What will it taste like.

"stop pretending you don't know what I'm talking about and quit looking at me like that." He snaps.

"huh, like what?" I ask distractedly as I take him in. he always look so good. The silver chain catches my eyes again tonight.

"like you want me to bend you over and fuck consciousness out of you." He sneers as he moves closer so I back up.

My mouth drops open and I feel chill crawl up my spine. "wh..what?"

"you heard me. You've ruined my night and a possibly good fuck because you couldn't put a check on your emotions." He ran his eyes all over me. "and now you're here with your fuck me eyes even when you know you're not down for it."

"I don't have f-"

"quit the bullshit. I've been seeing through you this entire time."

"it's not what-"

"I'm over this already, I'm going home." He says and gets into his car without allowing me to say a word.

He drives off and I'm still standing there wondering what just happened. Is it really because I cock blocked him that's why he went off on me like that? I didn't even know he could be that aggressive.

Shit. Now I finally pissed him off. This wasn't my plan at all.

"are you okay bro, you've been lost in thought there for a second." Its Gabe. I turn to him and sigh. I thought I told him to stay back. What if he heard about the fucking me part.

"yeah I'm good. Just thinking."

"who's that guy? Is he giving you problems?" Gabe asks looking worried.

"no he's not. He's a friend."

"oh wow, you made a new friend." He laughs "never thought I'd see the day someone else decides to ignore your craziness."

I laugh. "well yeah. You can go in, I'll you soon. I just need to clear my thoughts."

He nods leaves.

"he'll only fuck and leave you just like he does anyone. You're not special." Some woman say behind me and I turn to see that it's Mal's date.

I sigh. "thanks for the update. I guess you're the best person to share the news since he has also abandoned you."

She huffs and rolls her eyes. "don't say I did not warn you."

I glare at her. "what makes you think we will be fucking? You don't even know if I'm gay."

She cackles. "your attraction to him is written all over your damn face dude."

She turns to go but then stop to say over her shoulder. "if you don't want anyone to know, you better work on your expression then, because if I can see it, so does everyone."

I groan. Why is my life so fucking difficult.
