Scene Eight
659 Words
Eros walked into Caleb's house feeling irritated by the loud music. He had always been one who preferred peace and quiet.
He walked over to a lemon green-colored couch in the far corner of the living room, ignoring all eyes on him.
What is he doing here?
Isn't that Eros?
Omg he's so hot
He doesn't look all that scary
Did he actually come?
Words went around as people found it surprising to have Eros there. He was one who never attended college parties even though he got invited to all.
He sat on the couch, typing on his phone as he ignored the little female crowd that had formed since his arrival.
"It's a surprise to see you here," Jessica said.
"Don't get used to it" Eros replied while staring at his phone.
"Why?" She asked. "Why are you here?" hands on her waist.
Eros looked up at Jessica.
"Don't get too happy, I'm not here for you".
"I do not care you are here" she gritted.
"Then leave," Eros said, with his head tilted up looking at Jessica.
Jessica ignoring Eros rolled her eyes and sat next to him on the couch.
"I said leave not sit"
"I do not follow orders, your orders" she clarified.
"Would you guys get on with your lives" she barked at the crowd in front of her.
Jessica being someone most girls found scary and intimidating because of her high status being a model and also being the richest girl in UDE succeeded in chasing the crowd away.
"I guess you heard the news already" she faced Eros.
Eros ignoring Jessica continued typing on his phone.
"Just so you know, I don't want it too" she continued
"Try convincing yourself then," Eros said.
"I am convinced" she gritted.
"Can't you call it off?" she asked Eros.
No answer.
"You can't" she concluded, slightly surprised at her conclusion.
"I wonder what he did to make you agree to this" she continued.
"Hi Eros," a brunette said, smiling.
"He's busy, now leave" Jessica barked making the brunette dash in fear.
"Careful there. You don't want me thinking you're jealous" Eros said smirking.
"I am not jealous" Jessica gritted.
Eros smirked
"You're so obnoxious"
"Good, now you know" his smirk not faltered.
"You're so frustrating"
"Tell me more," Eros said, finding her annoyance amusing.
"Look, I'm just here to make a deal with you"
Eros raised an eyebrow telling her to continue.
"We don't have to stop seeing other people, we'd just go on with our normal lives but in secrecy," Jessica said.
"Are you looking for a way to cheat on me?" Eros asked, amusement laced in his voice.
"Huh? Wha...what do you mean?
Eros chuckled.
"I'm just saying we both have people who were really wanna be with, so we can still see them after everything"
Eros nods in understanding.
"I guess I can bring someone else in"
"No you can't!" she exclaimed.
"I mean, whatever you do, it should be outside and away from the paps" she clarified.
"Will you perform your duties as my wife?" Eros asked smirking, giving her his full attention.
Jessica blushed at Eros's words and cleared her throat.
"No".
"Are you sure about that?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.
Long silence.
"That's what I thought" he chuckled.
"I'm not sleeping with you," Jessica said and left in annoyance hitting Ian who was in her way on his shoulder.
"What's with her?" Ian asked and sat next to Eros.
Eros shrugged.
"Are you done here?" Eros asked.
"No. I haven't seen Jason or Rikkard".
"And why do you need to see them?"
"It only makes sense to"
"Clearly what makes sense to you doesn't make any sense to me"
"I know you don't like them. But they are still my friends"
"Whatever" Eros deadpanned and left the living room for outside.
Ian sighed.
"Fine I'm leaving with you," Ian said as he left the living room.
