Chapter 38 - entertain his nonsense? (1/2)
...”Keep quiet”
She turned to see a kid staring at her like she was crazy and she really was.
She wasn't the bad guy here, she had done nothing wrong, only trusted an idiot. So she stood up.
She was smoothening her hair when he saw her.
He immediately turned her direction.
”Tale? It is you. Wow you look so good.”
This was Chris alright. He paid more compliments than necessary that it became annoying, it had been to cover up his cheating ways and lies.
”Hi Chris.”
”Hey asshole,” Precious had never been one to spare him any good word.
”Precious, I see you haven't changed a bit.” he turned to her.
He looked better or maybe he was just working out more and it did him good, if he couldn't bring anything to the table at least he looked good. His voice still sounded same, his smile still held a little charm.
”How have you been?” she said in a small voice.
”Can't complain. I called and texted you a few, guess you were avoiding me.”
”You bet she was.” Precious cut in.
At this point she wasn't mad at Precious, Chris had done her wrong, period.
”I have been busy and forgot.” she did forget and was glad that she did.
”We should hang out sometime, catch up on things. I've missed you.” he checked her out.
”Fortunately the feeling isn't mutual.” Precious butted in again.
Tale still didn't mind. ”Thank you for the invite but I'm really busy.”
”I understand but anytime you can spare will be great. I just need to talk to you, it's important. I missed out on the good thing we had, I know that but...”
”We really have to go now.” Precious cut him as she had heard enough.
Guys like him never changed.
”Yes she's right, we have to get going.” she didn't want to hear anymore of what he had to say. Especially not now.
”I'd call you again. Please pick up. I promise it would be worth it.”
”We highly doubt it!” Precious countered as she was ready to drag her friend away.
”It was nice seeing you again Chris, we have to go.”
...
”Why. did you even entertain his nonsense?” Precious asked the minute they got to the door.
”For the sake of the friendship we had. Why were you mean to him?”
”He doesn't deserve nice. He doesn't.”
”He cheated and lied. It could be worse.”
