74 Guys Night and a Conniving Girl (2/2)

”Ah is that so…”

”How come you're here. She could be gaping at you. We're only childhood friends. Don't get any misunderstandings.” Alex was beginning to get annoyed.

He got up and walked to the bar without waiting for Carson to speak any further. Hunter had been helping his bartender serve drinks because his other employee was running late.

”What's up bro you look mad angry.” Hunter chuckled.

”I'm gonna head out bro. Trying to avoid Talia. She's causing trouble for my wife. Don't want Zunnie to misunderstand things.”

”Alright bro, I got you. Drive safe mate.”

Alex was fond of Hunter because he did not ask any questions. He admits that Hunter can be an idiot like Juno, but he was more mature and knew when to draw the line.

He quickly left the bar after arriving an hour earlier to dodge any conversation that may occur with Talia.

Talia had been acting innocent when he was around but if Zunnie hadn't informed him about her. He would have defended her if someone said anything bad concerning her.

It was still early and going home to the empty condo haunted Alex. He walked back to his car thinking of seeing Zunnie.

He wondered if she would be mad if he unexpectedly showed up.

”Alex, are you leaving already?” A voice behind him disturbed his thoughts.

Alex creased his brow in annoyance then turned to face Talia.

”Yes… do you need something”

”Oh no. I'm only saying hello. Did you come alone?” She asked looking around him.

If Alex didn't know any better, he would have fallen for her lie, but he was starting to see how conniving she happened to be every time he laid eyes on her.

Therefore, he decided to play along because he was not up for entertaining her.

”Mhm…”

”Today is Tami's birthday so I came with my girlfriends to celebrate. I was on my way to the washroom when I noticed you walking out.”

”Okay, have fun,” Alex said and got into his car and left, ignoring Talia who stood in the same spot watching him drive away.
