25 Fatigued females (2/2)

”I just met him a week ago, and coincidentally today. Any more inquiries???”, Seb said boldly. With that, she put an terminator to Erica's complain. She had turned the tables in such a way, that blame swapped itself and started hovering on Erica. She started feeling guilty to have doubting on Seb without a chance to explain.

”uh....I....well...seb...I was so...”, Erica tried to find words for her conduct.

”You don't have to be sorry”, it was Iven this time.

He was trying his best to act modest in front of another girl which is also Seb's friend.

”Mistakes happen”, he said as art of seduction showered from his voice,”I'm glad you understand”.

He sure knows how to dazzle women, Seb thought, it comes out so naturally from within him.

Iven did nothing extra. Even his normal words would attract a girl pretty strongly. It's his unnatural prince looks, charismatic charms, deep voice and sharp attitude that did the magic.

Both Seb and Iven noticed a thing. Erica was blushing enormously.

But they had different thoughts regarding that.

It's going in the right track, Iven thought who had no idea about women's nature.

Not good, not good, absolutely not cool!!, thought Seb.

She elbowed him once, Iven replied with a wink.

He stretched his hand out to prolong the conversation. He was trying his best to impress Seb, but she didn't expect nor want these all.

”I'm Iven”, he said in his usual accent.

But Erica's heart skipped 2 beats at once. She hesitantly took his hand and shook it.

”and you are...”, Iven spoke the first line for him.

”Erica!!!”, Seb replied for her as she was too nervous. Erica just nodded once.

”Pleased to meet you”, Iven said,”You're a remarkable lady”.

BANG!!!

2 inaudible gunshots took place at once.

Once pierced through Erica, making her face cherry red.

Another stung through Seb, drawing blood from her face.

What the hell is he up to!!! Seb was screaming in her head. She had to interrupt,” What are you doing here anyway Eric?”

”Oh!”, Erica returned back from the fantasy world,”I came to check on you. You were going to return late so Mum prepared some curry for you. I brought so that you don't have to cook”, saying Erica lifted a foiled packet of box.

”Ah, your friend is very caring”, Iven said. Erica smiled at the compliment.

Seb stamped on Iven's feet and threw him a negative glance which said, enough already!!!

She shrugged her shoulders and her eyebrows went up to a frown.

Iven stopped and was taken aback. He didn't understand his mistake at all. He thought that things were going perfectly this whole time and didn't get any of Seb's gestures. So why was she complaining? This move backfired and Seb seemed pissed!

”Ah.....What would I do without you”, Seb said to cover the moment,”I was indeed starving”.

”Yup!!! Why don't I make some main course to go with it?”, Erica suggested.

”That would do good, let's go”, saying Seb walked over and took the bike from Iven.

”What am I supposed to do?”, Iven pointed at himself innocently.

Erica was waiting to ask him,”Why don't you join us? I've plenty for 2”.

But Seb gave a death stare and said,”Scram!!!”.

Both Iven and Erica looked at Seb with confusion.

Seb gave a nervous smile and realized that her expression was too obvious,”Iven has to go and take care of something”.

Erica looked at Iven,”Do you?”.

Iven looked at Seb,”Do I?”.

”You do, don't you?”, Seb spoke through her teeth. Iven received his signal. But he was still bewildered when he went with her plan,” Oh yeah!!! I have to go. I have some work to do, sorry”.

”Oh!”, was the only thing erica managed to say,”Alright next time”, she forced a smile.

Iven nodded politely and exchanged a smirk with Seb before walking away and disappearing int he darkness within no time. When he was sure that he was out of sight, he led out a huge sigh,I'm sure that she was checking me out!”, he exclaimed,” Didn't Belle notice that?”

He recalled and judged Erica's behavior from earlier. Than he realized that why Seb was acting so weird. He chuckled to himself as he remembered Seb's act, he found them too cute.

Need to avoid this friend of Belle, he thought, i can sense what will happen if I let this continue. Handling one women is enough in my life already.

When he was engrossed in thoughts, his phone rang.

-Hello?

-Yuka here, I've got news.

-What is it?

-I thnk he's back in town, that's why Heeld and the others sprang into action.

-Did you cross check it?

-Mak and Juan did. They were sure about it.

-What gives?

-The photographs, I've seen them too.

-It's not good, be alert.

-We've got our guard up.

Yuka hung up.

In a second, Iven switched back to his other half.

This is not cool at all, he thought, why the hell did he have to return now??? And when things were getting slightly better in his life????

This time, it'll be his last time, it'll be the last fight!!!

Iven was sure that he'll make it the last fight. But he wasn't aware that a terrific situation awaited him!!!

A single wrong move, and he'll put all of them in danger!

All of them he had sworn to protect up untill now.

Whom he had cared for,.....and whom...he had started caring for!
