Confusing Women

Sean POV
At Michelle's request, I stopped my car exactly where she wanted it. Michelle got out of my car and walked over to someone. Somehow I feel relieved when I know the friend referred to Michelle is a woman. Michelle led the woman in my vehicle.
"This is my best friend Brenda" Michelle introduced her friend to me. I returned to do silly things in my mind. I judge Michelle's body much more beautiful than the body of her friend. Although Brenda looks sweet when smiling because of her dimples.
"Hai, I'm Sean" I smiled at Brenda. She glanced back at my greeting and grabbed something from his small bag. She took out a cigarette and started burning it.
"Do you want a cigarette?" offer me. I shook my head and brought my car back.
"I told you, stop smoking. Are you unable to listen to me? "Michelle snatched the burned cigarette from Brenda's mouth, then threw it as far as possible out the window.
"Damn!!Michelle. What are you doing? That was my first cigarette today." Brenda protested Michelle, who then forcibly took a packet of cigarettes out of Brenda's bag, and threw it out the window again.
"Okay, you know who I think. I don't care all this time you smoke as much. But this time onwards, I will watch over you "Michelle turned around to make it easier to talk with Brenda.
"Breaking the habit is uneasy. You have to understand that. After all, nothing will happen if I smoke one stick only. "Brenda returned to show her not wanting to budge.
"No, you have to keep your baby healthy, understand?" Michelle pointed towards Brenda's belly. Suddenly I coughed to hear that Brenda turned out to be pregnant and why she still smoked her cigarette.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." I'm uncomfortable now because they look at me with surprised eyes.
"No problem, I know you're surprised. It's up to you to judge what kind of "Brenda crossed her arms on her chest and sat down with her head leaning against the chair "you don't have a plan yet, where are we going?. How about we go to the mall. I want to find clothes for my baby".
A glance at my glazed towards Michelle, unfortunately, he did not return my gaze after releasing a nodded smile for Brenda's request. I wanted just to go and let these two women do whatever they want.
*********
I try to be patient, even though now I was standing behind two girls who seemed to ignore me and were busy talking about choosing baby clothes. Sometimes a little difference occurred between them, sometimes they laughed, but I did not understand the thing that made them laugh.
Occasionally a store employee who certainly knows me well hides his smile looking at me. I know very well he must have mocked me, remembering how I'm the CEO of this mall is accompanying two women shopping for baby clothes. I don't know what rumors the employee will spread later. I had complained in my heart, of all the malls that are here, why should the mall where I work?
They ran into various shops, and I was like a duckling following where its mother went. Every time they enter any shop, the salesclerk there always salute me. Strangely, these two women don't care at all. They should greet me to see me respected by many people. But as if this was normal for them, "Hey Michelle and Brenda, I'm real, can't you guys see me?" I thought in my heart.
I heaved a sigh of relief as Michelle and Brenda headed to the cafe, we took a seat at the end facing the window. They sat side by side while I sat alone right in front of them. Can you imagine how bad I feel?
A female waitress came bringing the food menu. The waitress seemed awkward to see me. At a glance, she saluted and returned to being professional in serving Michelle and Brenda, who have now read their menus. I waited for the two girls to order food first after the waiter noted their order now the waiter turned to look at me still reluctantly.
I had no appetite and decided to only order drinks. The waitress's face was astonished at my order, but because of her reluctance, she preferred to be quiet and leave after recording our food orders.
"Are you sure you only drink? Can't you order food too? Are you sure you're unhungry?" Brenda chased me with her question. My heart fluttered why it wasn't Michelle who asked that. Doesn't she care about me a little?
"No need, I'm fine," I simply replied, removing the cell phone from my pocket. Michelle and Brenda do the same thing. We looked at each other's cell phone screens while waiting for food to arrive.
The next minute, a waiter came with a drink, "Sir?" said a little screaming. I was amazed at him, a look of wonder, yes yes yes, I know, I never even tasted to eat late at this cafe. Of course, they didn't score, right, not to mention the waiter who was interested in a different drink than the waiter who had delivered the menu earlier.
"Don't say hello to me like that. Just put the drink, "I gave the code with my eyes so that the waiter immediately put the juice and left quickly. I thought I could handle the situation, but the thought was immediately lost when the waiter who was panicking mixed awkwardly accidentally spilled a drink about Michelle's blue trousers.
The waiter took off the tray she was holding and put on a gaping face to glance at Michelle. "I'm sorry, madam," she said, reflexively cleaning Michelle's pants. That made Michelle stand up and ask the waiter to stop cleaning the pants. "No problem, I'll clean it," Michelle said, walking towards the toilet.
I asked the waiter to clean up the spilled drinks on the table and floor, then replace the spilled drinks with new beverages. Honestly, in my heart, I laugh with delight to see Michelle hit by such bad luck.
"So? Are you my best friend's husband?" Brenda invited me to talk in the middle of the maid, still cleaning the floor. Again the servant's face tightened at the words of Brenda. This woman managed to get everyone who knew me at this mall to talk about gossip about me.
"You never asked me to talk, and now you are asking me something unimportant?" I raised an eyebrow at Michelle's words
"Well, there's no harm in getting to know my future husband from my best friend. Do you know?. If Michelle will cry because of you. I am the first person to kill you. "Brenda opened the gum she had just taken from her bag and then ate it.
"You talk as if my marriage and Michelle will happen. Not necessarily Michelle and I married. She will hurt her lover if she marries me" I remembered the figure of a drunk man who was carried by Michelle at that time.
"Lover? Hahahahahah, what did you say just now? Michelle doesn't have time for silly things like that." Brenda laughed mockingly at my achievements. Her reaction made me confused.
"Hey? Are you sure you're Michelle's best friend? You don't even know she has a boyfriend. I saw her carrying her drunk lover "I began to seriously look at Brenda, who managed to seize my attention due to his words.
"Sean, I'm Brenda, the only friend who knows everything about Michelle's life. Michelle is a girl who lives just for one goal. There is no treasure, no longing, and no love. Michelle has more complicated than you think. Please don't hurt her." Brenda glanced at Michelle, who had returned from the toilet, making me unable to continue this hanging conversation.
"The servant cleared up the mess?" Michelle asked who Brenda nodded. While me? In the middle of drifting my mind about a short conversation, a thousand meanings that just Brenda and I spoke. For the umpteenth time, what's up with Michelle??
