Chapter 71 - 71: A Night of Passion (1/2)

”Elle wait!” Erick called her while running towards her.

Elle stopped and turned to look at him ”Why are you here? Are you done there? Are you done sorting your feelings there?” Elle said to him which sounded sarcastic.

Erick didn't know what to say.

”It is not what you think...” Erick would like to explain but Elle cut him off immediately.

”Coming here tonight was a big mistake. It's your fault. Why did you tell them that I am your girlfriend? I told them that we are just friend.” Elle blamed him and she really sounded annoyed.

”Why are you mad at me? I brought you here since I promised my mother that I will introduce you to my friends and colleagues. How would you expect me to just tell them that we are just friend? Besides it was you who started this.” Erick said this in impulse. He was upset when Elle sounded mad and she didn't like the idea that he introduced her as his girlfriend.

Elle was dumbfounded when she heard him say that.

Erick realized his mistake.

”Elle, I am sorry, I didn't mean...”

”Stop! You don't need to explain. Can we just go home now if you already done here?” Elle said to him with a stern voice.

Erick didn't speak anymore. They just went to the parking area.

When they were already inside the car. No one spoke again. Erick just focused on his driving. Elle closed her eyes during the entire duration of their travel.

When they arrived at the house, Elle continued ignoring him. Fortunately Erick's parents were already asleep. They didn't see the tension going on between Elle and Erick.

If they saw it, they would ask them about what happened during the birthday party. Of course, no one between them would like to talk about it right now.

Elle slumped her body on the bed after taking a quick shower. Everything happened tonight made her exhausted physically and emotionally.

She massaged her temples. ”Why you didn't control your self Elle? This is so unlike you!” She mumbled to herself as she thought about her argument with Erick before they left the restaurant.

Erick stayed on his study. He was so stressed right now. He was scolding himself. April's confession really shocked him. And now Elle was also mad at him and it was really affecting him right now.

His head seemed like it would gonna explode any minutes from thinking too much. Tonight would gonna be a sleepless night for him.

Meanwhile..... Bryan and April already arrived at her apartment. Bryan stared at April with a mixed emotions.

”Why him? Why it had to be him?” he softly mumbled.

He helped April and guided her going to her apartment. She couldn't walk straight because of drunkenness.

”April where is your key?” Bryan asked her. He put her down and let her lean on the wall for a while

”In my bag.” Bryan searched for it and after a while he found it. He opened the door and he helped April again to stand up.

”You stupid girl, how will you face Chief Lee tomorrow when you are sober?” Bryan scolded her while they were going towards April's bedroom. April just giggled.

”Hmm I don't think if you can still laugh tomorrow after what happened tonight.” Bryan shook his head.

”Hey April, can you behave? Stop moving so much. You are a little bit heavy.” Bryan complained.

April hitted his head. ”Ouch!” Bryan grunted.

”Don't ever tell a woman that she is heavy.” April said while giggling.
