Chapter 43 Later that night
Later that night "Why do you always prefer to keep things hidden?" Liam sounded angry.
''] was wondering why the little girl looked familiar! She is, I believe, Elias's cousin too? Jamie asked, a bit surprised. She was happy, in a way, and not angry like Liam.
She thought Amy looked familiar when she saw her back in Arty City, but she could not place the little girl.
"Back then, I should have known. But what's with you and Elias? Aren't you supposed to get along?" ''T have no idea what the issue is with him." Jeff frowned and explained how he met Elias at All-Star and how the
latter behaved.
"I had no idea Elias was that way. He was my senior in high school, and we attended the same one," Jamie remarked. "I've heard many rumors but I just didn't believe." "It is only you who does not realize how conceited and brash he is," Liam exhaled a breathless statement. "You just do not know that you are one of those fans who are obsessed." "Hey, look who is talking. When I was singing one of their songs, did not you join in?" Jamie retorted. "I will listen to his song if it is good, but even though I am a fan, I can not support his arrogance." "Whatever the case! It appears that Jeff is his new target. Liam chuckled. "Be prepared; he is going to bully you."
"I thought this was a fun place to be and not something to discuss," Jeff remarked absentmindedly. ~~ While Jeff was sipping his drink and watching Jamie and Liam dance wildly, the dimly lit bar was bustling with possible introductions and sideways glances.
Jeff sat by himself at one end, sipping his drink while he was engrossed in the cacophony of laughter and voices.
As the neon lights flickered, a girl with a mischievous smile approached Jeff.
Her hazel eyes held a glimmer of curiosity, and her presence energized the air around them. She leaned in closer and said, "Care to dance?" Jeff looked surprised, shocked at her audacity. He hesitated for a moment before flashing a charming smile. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"Sure, why not?" As they smoothly twirled and spun around the dance floor in unison, the contagious beat of the music coursed through their bodies.
"My name is Emily, Emily Swinton." With laughter filling the pauses between steps, the girl identified herself as Emily. "What is your name?" "yeff" Jeff replied shortly.
T've never seen you before, did you come here with someone?" Grinning as they danced, Emily questioned.
yes," Jeff replied, turning to face Jamie, who had stopped dancing. His gaze locked with Jamie's, causing a jolt to run down his spine. At that moment, he looked away.
Namie?" Emily had a surprised expression. She is a friend of mine. The person she claimed to be inviting must be you." "Then you must be the celebrant," Jeff said and smiled. "Happy birthday to you. Long life and prosperity." "Thank you." Natural flow ensued in their conversation. Maybe because Emily was so gregarious and Jeff was able to respond to all of her inquiries.
While dancing, they exchanged phone numbers and agreed to get back together later.
Jamie, on the other hand, watched the action from across the bar, feeling both jealous and depressed. Her heart sank, and a pang of jealousy coursed through
her veins, bitter and insidious.
Emily felt a dagger go through her heart to see him connect with her in such a way. She was surprised at herself for behaving this way.
Watching Jeff dance with Emily felt excruciating, even though it was justa dance and she had danced with many men tonight.
"What's wrong with you?" To herself, Jamie muttered.
Given Jeff's temperament, it was impossible for him to ask him to dance, so Emily must have asked.
Emily did not have many male friends, but she was generally cheerful and kind to everyone.
still, she must have been drawn to Jeff "by his coolness and attractiveness.
Jamie could take no more of the sight and drank glass after glass of whisky, finding solace in the numbing embrace of alcohol.
With a worried expression on his inebriated face, Liam approached Jamie after noticing her distress.
"Jamie, what's wrong? You need to stop drinking." With teary eyes, Jamie looked up, her voice a little slurred. "Liam, I can not help it. It hurts so much to see him with someone else. I thought maybe...
maybe he could be..." With a look of both surprise and frustration in his eyes, Liam sighed.
"Do you like Jeff?" He swigged from his drink as well.
"I don't know" Jamie slurred. "He's good-looking and likable, isn't
he?" "Why don't you tell him? He isn't dating anyone and he seems to care about you too" Liam answered. "It is unbelievable that I am telling you this.
I am this way because of hanging out with you. We need to resume, I've missed my friends." "Do you even care for your cousin?" Putting her hand to her chest, Jamie sobbed. My heart seems to be beating erratically.
Shaking his head, Liam remarked, "You are suffering from love sickness, cousin." Liam also overindulged in alcohol in the end.
During the course of the evening, Jeff happened to see Jamie and Liam
drinking with no care in the world.
Concern etched his face as he approached them, knowing he needed to be there for his friends.
"Hey, guys, are you okay?" With a hint of concern in his tone, Jeff spoke.
They were both drunk.
Jeff pulled Jamie and Liam in and steadied their wobbling bodies.
