Chapter 249 - The Past (4) (1/2)

Both of them reached the place before the rest of the family but Rachel was way too flushed to speak anything and Robert was quite satisfied by that, it was exactly what he wanted. As she wore a sweatshirt, she had an advantage of pulling it up and hiding most part of her hickey, soon her family arrived and the first thing they noticed was the thing she was trying to hide which made her body tense up but Robert stood there so innocently as if he didn't do anything.

Rachel gritted her teeth at him as everyone passed a smile to her, Charles face had formed a frown but he didn't say anything to Robert because he knew his presence near her daughter was really important for her safety. They ordered their favorite ice creams and began to munch, Rachel tried to stay far away from Robert so she was standing next to Jessica while Daisy had occupied Robert. She was excited about him, he could make the girl, who could kill him, come out like this. He was talking to Daisy with the same enthusiasm as he was in a really good mood on the other hand Rachel had a strange feeling in her heart, she was feeling butterflies in her stomach.

Jessica was talking to her but she was lost in her thoughts, she had never felt this way even Kevin was not able to make her feel like that. It felt so good that she didn't want to rush it and ruin everything, thinking about him a smile formed on her lips.

she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice a man come and stand next to her and said her name as is confirming it was her ”Rachel”

Rachel snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him in total confusion as she didn't recognize him at all ”Yes and you are”

He smiled and spoke excitedly next ”Oh my God, it's really you and as expected you have turned out to be a real beauty. I am Alex.”

She looked at him and finally recognized him, Alex was her close friend and he had gone abroad because of his father's job and they had lost touch, she was so excited to see him that she hugged him tightly ”Oh my God, how are you.”

He hugged her back even more tightly when Rachel suddenly felt the atmosphere around her turn cold and she didn't even have to look to know that Robert was getting jealous but she liked it this time so she hugged him a little longer.

Soon they began to chat about everything they had missed about each other and Alex would casually touch her arm while talking. Rachel had introduced her to Jessica too and the three of them were chatting, this took Rachel's mind off Robert too but then she realized that the cold atmosphere kept increasing, she didn't dare to turn around and look at Robert.

When Robert saw Alex constantly touching her girlfriend, his eyes began to change color, which Rachel felt drawn closer to her back. It was confirmed that he had stepped closer when he placed his hand on her waist and standing so close to her that it marked a clear picture that she was his, she knew what he was doing so not to make the situation awkward, she introduced them to each other ”Robert, this is Alex my best friend who went abroad and then we lost touch and now I finally get to see him again.” then she turned to Alex ”Alex, this is Robert my boyfriend.” she said holding his arm and whispering in his ear ”You are getting angry again, he is just a friend.”

Robert tried to stay calm ”I am not”

Rachel tugged at his arm ”Don't lie to me, your eyes are telling a different story.”
