Chapter 24 - Her First Pain (1/2)

”Hey what are you staring at?” Peggy frowned.

Nina just stood there frozen, staring intently. The girls turned their eyes from where she was looking and were also surprised.

Andrew and the woman didn't notice them at first but when she saw Nina, he was surprised. He didn't say a word and was just looking at her. He didn't even bother to move away from the woman beside him.

”Andrew, I like that dress. Buy it for me please.” The woman pleaded, pointing at the red dress on the poster of the store.

When she noticed that Andrew was staring at someone and wasn't listening to her, she looked at the girl who was wearing the dress she liked.

She noticed the other girls and knew who they were. She looked at Andrew again and thought of something naughty. She smirked and suddenly kissed Andrew on the cheek.

Andrew's eyes widened. He looked at the woman beside him and turned to Nina. He was checking her reaction and saw her clenched her jaw.

”Nina.” He called.

Nina felt like something pierced her heart. It was a different kind of pain when she saw Ella kissing Andrew. She could feel her chest tightened and no words came out from her mouth.

Then she felt a hand touch hers. When she looked at who it was, she saw Sophie, smiling at her gently. She turned to Alora, Peggy and Emily. They were also smiling, as if telling her they got her back. So she took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the two.

”Andrew, you're here. You didn't come home last night, I was surprised to see you here.” She said while looking directly into his eyes.

She was hiding her pain. She couldn't show Andrew that she was hurting inside. The first time she saw him with a woman, she knew she was hurt because of her pride. But now, she couldn't explain why.

”Ah, I-I stayed at-” He couldn't continue his words and turned to the woman beside him again.

His gestures were giving Nina's heart more pain. She bit her lips to stop her tears from falling and looked at the woman who was holding on to Andrew's arms.

”Hi! I'm Nina. Andrew's fiance.” She introduced herself first.

The woman smiled and didn't show that she was bothered by what she said.

”I'm Seira. Andrew slept in my house last night. He came drunk and couldn't drive anymore so I told him to stay. I didn't know he's getting married.” The woman said without any hesitation.

”I see. So he also decided to take you here after sleeping in your house.” She said while looking coldly at the woman.

”Yes. We haven't seen each other for six months. I missed him so if you don't mind, I'll borrow your fiance for a day.” Seira continued.

Nina couldn't answer for a moment. She was trying to compose herself so Andrew and Seira won't recognize that she's hurting. She was about to answer when someone called their attention.

”Andrew?” It was a woman's voice.

They looked at the woman who called him. She was wearing a black body hugging short dress, her long scarlet hair was tied up and was swaying while she walked towards them. Her face looked like she was a few years older than them, but she was pretty even though she only wore a little make up. A definition of a sophisticated woman, Nina thought to herself.

The woman kissed Andrew on the cheek as well when she got closer and wrapped her hand to his other arm. Nina frowned.
