Chapter 183 - Another Fight?

"What's happening here?"

The baritone voice of my brother caught everyone's attention, specially me and Jacob. He looked at us and nodded to Jacob.

He simply walked towards us and offered his hand to me. I wasn't sure if I should take or not, but in the end I accepted his hand.

"You okay?" He asked and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I was looking for you.." I pouted.

"Sorry, I sent mom and our brothers on my penthouse. I know they can't fit in your apartment so I decided to bring them there..."

"Are they okay?"

"Yeah. The twins were playing play station while mom was resting.. Don't worry okay?" He kissed my temples.

I was so happy that he didn't hate our mom. Right now, I'm still trying to accept the truth. I'm on the process of moving forward. I didn't also want to talk to my dad, because I know he'll only laugh at me and try to discourage me. I didn't want that though..

"What's with you and this dude?" He points at Jacob who's standing close to me. "Are you dating?"

Pierre's brows furrowed as he shifted his eyes from me and Jacob. The waiter gave us a few drinks but his strict gaze didn't leave Jacob. Pierre looked so intimidating.

"It seems like your brother's gonna bite me," I heard Jacob whispered.

I laughed. "He's nice don't worry. He's just a little bit cold.."

"Not cold but cool.." Pierre interjects, correcting me.

"Alright..alright.." I mocked.

His eyes turned to me, he gave me a dangerous so I just pouted. He's kind of strict, huh?

"What are you and my sister? Don't tell me you're going to kiss her earlier?" There's a danger in Pierre's tone.

I just hope that Jacob will answer him properly. I haven't seen my brother getting angry with a guy. I'm imagining him beating the shit out of someone and it's making me feel nervous for that.

Oh god. "We're friends.." Jacob casually answered. "Yeah, we're only friends.."

He looked at me and nodded. He turned his eyes on my brother again and smiles. What a crazy man.

"Are you sure?" My brother seemed not convinced. "Is he saying the truth?"

I was startled when Pierre suddenly turned his gaze on me. He gave me those detective eyes which really made me swallow hard.

But what else should I feel anxious, huh? We didn't really have a relationship. Me and Jacob were just freakin' friends!

"But if you want, I can be his boyfriend.." Jacob smirked.

My eyes automatically rolled when he said that. He just got himself into a trouble. My brother looked so pissed earlier when he saw our position. It's like something that he wants to strangle someone for that.

"It's been a while, Mr. Griffin.."

I stiffed on my position. I was about to say something but then I've heard a voice that gives a huge impact inside my body. Damn. How could his voice became so husky?

"Oh. Hello, Mr. Clark!" Pierre seemed glad. He even hugged Noah and greet him back.

What's with them? I remember how they're so intense with each other before that they might fight anytime but.. What happened now?

"I must say...back to my old shit life?" Noah chuckled. "I'm just enjoying what I'm doin'.. Kinda wait for the right time to wake up in this nightmare.."

I didn't get what he said but I can sense that there's a pain and bitterness in his tone. I wanted to ask him but I didn't want to be rude. My brother's talking to him and all I could right now is to wait for them to finish.

"You wanna eat?" Jacob asked.

"I'm not hungry.."

I still remained on my position while watching the two talking to each other. I must say, I'm still adjusting to the new Noah that I'm seeing right now. He's far from the person that I've known for years, he's no longer the person who would pout everytime and acts so stupid but at the same time sweet..

What I'm saying was..he's no longer the person who I loved the most..

He has changed a lot. Not only his appearance but also his attitude and behavior. I don't know if he's really like that now, you know he's cool with what's happening like it's not a big deal.. But I'm really wondering what makes him changed like that easily?

I think our closure turned out well before.. That we made sure that we can accept our fate when the right time comes. Without us being changed with our past in a bad way..

I'm not saying that he changed in a bad way..but..I'm not fine with the way he just treated me like we never become lovers before..

Is that the sign of maturity on him?

Then I'm the one who's immature him now?

"I didn't know what my sister's thinking that she can't take her eyes on you but, I apologize for her strange behavior.." Pierre patted my head.

I saw how Noah's brows furrowed but he immediately nodded after that.

Damn it.

My face heated once I saw how he pursed his lips when he looked away. Was he laughing at me? I took the wine glass on Jacob's hand and drink the remaining wine in it.

"R-raine.." Jacob seemed surprised. His eyes went bigger, still shocked with what I did.

"Don't worry. Waiter!" I called the waiter guy. "Give us some wine please.."

I looked around after that. I saw our friends laughing at me while point at the person behind me. They're teasing me, I know. Those rascals are just so annoying sometimes.

Jennie was sitting on the side of the pool, wearing her robe while Harry was holding a stick of barbeque walking towards her. I giggled when I saw how Jennie smacked his arm for surprising her.

They looked good together, though..

"And now, she can't hear a thing.. She's so weird sometimes.." My brother seems like he's getting on my bad side and tell it to Noah.

I felt betrayed, huh? And Noah was just laughing like it's not really funny. I didn't know but I suddenly felt annoyed for that. He seemed like he's mocking me and he's fooling my brother.

"Let's go and swim so you could stop furrowing your brows. I'm worried that you get old immediately," Jacob pulled my hand away from there.

It's too late when I think of saying it to Pierre because Jacob was already dragging me away. Damn it.

When we're on our way, I stopped when the waiter walked through us. I swallowed hard when I felt thirsty looking at the wine glass that's full of grape wine. The aroma was also my style, I like it!

I giggled before drinking the whole glass. But I didn't stop there, Jacob can't even stop me from drinking because I keep patting his hand away from me when he intends to take away the glass.

I was so happy while drinking it until I finished them all.

"You're going to get drunk, damn it! Your brother will kill me after this, Raine.." He looked like he's going to cry now.

I just laughed and drink the last glass. His shoulders fell while his eyes looked so hopeless. I bit my lower lip to stifle my laughs. He kinda looks cute right now and I can't help but to held both of his cheeks.

I am now experiencing a bit dizziness while standing. I shook my head when my vision becomes blurry too. Damn, I think I'm drunk now.

But even if it's blurry, I can still see his reaction. His face were blushing while his eyes were open wide while looking shocked with what I did. He stared at my face and didn't leave it.

I smirked and pinched it so hard which made him shouts so loud. I laughed again and leave him there. I bet he's rolling on the floor in so much pain now.

I felt so hot right now, I wanted to take off my clothes. Oh god. What happened to me? Is this the effect of the wine?

But that's only a wine!

"Hey guys, look! Raine's going to dive on the pool!"

I didn't know who shouted, it must be one of our guest from our school. I was really planning to drive on the pool. I can swim though.

And besides, Sam told me that this is a jacuzzi pool. I'll be comfortable here.

I giggled before taking off my dress and heels. Everyone seemed shocked when my bikini exposed on crowd.

I pouted before looking at my body. Is this the first time that they saw a girl wearing a bikini, huh? I'm not terrible looking right?

"Shit!"

And before I could dive, a thick robe wrapped around my body. I was also surprised when he carried me on his arms leaving the pool area. Damn this person, he didn't even let me feel the hot water at least!

"Ouch!" I groaned when he put me down harshly on the couch.

My buttocks hurts, huh!

I was about to glare at that person but then I saw Noah standing in front of me. His face was red while clenching his jaw, looking so furious right now.

What the fuck?!

"What are you doing here?!" My eyes widened.

I thought he doesn't care anymore? But why is he here?!

My eyes turned to his body. His clothes were a bit messy now! Don't tell me he's the one who brought me here?!

"Did you just--"

"Yes. I brought you here and you're not gonna leave this place until you get changed." His voice were calm but I feel the authority in there.

How can he just order me around, huh!

"What If I don't?" I arched a brow, testing his patience.

He looked at me first before glancing at my body. He smirked and crossed his arms before returning to face me again.

"Then, I don't have a choice but to put those clothes on you myself.."

To be continued..
