63 THATs HOW YOU KNEW ME? (2/2)

Silence.

”Uh, Cassidy okay we'll just leave him here. We'll just notify the bartender that if anything happens, they'll just call you.”

”Okay whatever. But honestly, where are you both going at this hour?”

”Hahahaha. Bye Cassidy.”

And he hang up. What the... I honestly don't understand those two. I always think they're involved in dangerous business because of all of that secrecy. Even lying about a Charity Ball for f*ck's sake. But whatever, they're adults, they know what they're doing.

So I returned sleeping, only to be disturbed by another phone call. Aaaaarrghhh my beauty sleep!

I answered it and said, ”I don't want to go so stop persuading me. Just leave him there.”

Silence, and then ”Uh, may I know who I'm speaking to?”

”What? You were the one who called, so you should know who you're calling.”

”I'm sorry Ma'am. But this is not my phone. I just called you because you were the latest in this phone's call logs. The name here is 'Fluffiest Pig'.”

Ah shit, Ethan. I checked the ID, and yeah Ethan. ”I'm Cassidy Johnson. I'm sorry for shouting at you earlier, I just woke up.”

”Oh thank god. Miss Cassidy, a man is here looking for you.”

”Who? The owner of this phone?”

”Yes. We are about to close, and he wouldn't go home until he sees you.”

”Me? Why?”

”He just kept on calling your name Ma'am. I really don't know.”

Oh no. Such a headache. ”Can I talk to him?”

”Uh sure. I'll give him the phone. Please wait a moment.”

Ethan what is happening to you?! This isn't you.

”Cassidy.” A magnetic voice sounded from the other line.

”Ethan.”

”Cassidy.”

”Okay, I'll end it right there. So, what's gotten into you? Why won't you go home?”

”I'll be all alone there.”

”Ethan, you know I can't stay with you. My boyfriend would not allow it.”

”I hate him. Who is he to dictate your every decision?”

”I think he's right to dictate that part of my life because clearly you are my ex. He's got all the right to be mad that you're still with me.”

”Well am I Cassidy? Am I still with you? Because as soon as you had that piece of shit, you forgot about me. You seldomly answer my calls and my messages. What happened to us?”

”Us? There is no us Minho. We're only friends now, so I don't have to answer your every call or message because I have a life too!”

”Aren't you concerned of my well-being?”

”I am. But I always know you can easily move on, that you could continue living on without a care in the world. I knew you as a strong person Ethan!”

”That's how you know me?” His voice grew fainter. ” I guess when you left, I was not so strong anymore.”
