Chapter 353 - Revenge 354: An Actual Human Girlfriend?

"Josh, are you not gonna say anything?"

Josh turned his around and faces Anna and Zen who's waiting for him to respond. Seeing that they are eagerly waiting for his response, Josh sighed and spoke.

"There is nothing I can do for them." Josh shrugged. "Besides, even if we do something for them, they won't notice what each other's feeling because they are dense when it comes to that."

To Josh, it will be just a waste of energy if he tries to help Nathalia and Aaron. Truthfully, he would rather have them both figure out their feelings on their own.

"Zen, why did we even bother asking this guy? He's just like my brother, he has no interest in girls." Josh is a smart guy, but clearly, he has no idea how to pursue a girl. Anna thinks that she just wasted her time expecting Josh to answer her serious question.

"I'll have you know that I'm dating someone and I know how to please my girl," Josh said proudly as he smirks at Anna and Zen.

They both think that he has no clue about pursuing girls? Well, they got it all wrong. Without them knowing there's a girl that he has been pursuing and now they are dating for quite some time now.

Anna and Zen look at Josh, then they laughed out loud. They could not take Josh's words so seriously. They both think that Josh is only making a joke.

Josh looks at them without saying a word. He's waiting for them to stop laughing and realize that he is not joking with them.

After a minute of laughing, Anna and Zen finally stopped and stared at Josh. Seeing the expression Josh have on his face, Anna gasp and shook Zen's body aggressively.

"You're not joking? You're being serious? Oh. My. Goodness." Anna felt her whole world just stop when she realizes that Josh is not joking. She thought that she knew what is currently going with Josh, but she thought wrong.

Thinking about it, she never did notice that Josh is currently dating someone. But then again, Josh is always on his phone. 'Wait. It's not a game character, right?'

Noticing that Anna is in deep thoughts, Josh already has an idea what Anna is thinking and that clearly did not put a smile on his face. "It's not a game character, Anna. My girlfriend is an actual person."

"How did you know what was I thinking? Are you a mind reader now?" Anna is shocked and somehow felt sorry that Anna doubted Josh. But, he shouldn't blame her for thinking like that, right?

"No. I'm not a mind reader. I know what you were thinking because it's written all over your face." Josh somehow felt offended that Anna doubted him. Just because he's always on his phone that doesn't mean he's playing a game and more or less falling in love with a fictional character.

'I can't believe she actually thought that I'm some kind of a geek.' Josh inwardly said.

"Wait! Wait!" Zen spoke as he stood up and faces Josh with a serious expression plastered on his face. "You have a girlfriend? An actually human girlfriend? I mean, what? When? HOW?"

If someone were to ask him what he is feeling now, he would say that he felt like his best friend had betrayed him. He has no idea that Josh is actually dating someone. Zen actually thought that Josh would at least tell him about that. 

They were together since little, and yet, Josh did not say a word to him. 'Does Nathalia know about this?'

"I did tell you about it." It was not too long ago that Josh told Zen about hin dating someone, and at that time, Zen was playing his video game. He guesses that Zen was too focus on his game and most likely Zen did not pay attention to what he said.

Knowing that Josh repeated it again and Zen replied with a hum. With that, Josh didn't bother himself repeating it again. All he knows is that he did Zen and he didn't hide anything from him. If he didn't remember a word he said that day, then it's not his fault. It's his.

"Told me about it?" Zen scoffed. He has no slightest intention of believing what Josh just said. "When?" He added.

"Not too long ago. You were playing your video game at that time." As soon as Zen asked that question that is when Josh confirmed that Zen was listening to him. 'Oh, well. It's his loss, not mine.' Josh inwardly commented.

After hearing that Zen fell into deep thoughts. He remembers the time when Josh came to visit his home and he was playing his game. He also remembers that Josh did say something twice, but couldn't remember a word he said.

Automatically, Zen believes Josh is saying the truth. Josh is not the type of person who would lie unless it is necessary. Josh heartlessly honest about most of the time and because of that a lot of people, mostly girls, cry.

"Can't speak?" Josh revealed a smile, but it's not really a heartfelt smile. It's more like I-want-to-kill-you smile. Zen can only nod because he is too afraid to speak a word. "Don't blame me for not saying anything because I did say something. And hopefully, next time, you'll listen when people are talking to you."

"B-but you know that I don't pay attention to anything if I'm too focus on my game," Zen replied in his defense. He knows that he is at fault for not listening, but Josh should know that he doesn't really attention when he's focused on other kinds of stuff.

"Do you want to make this conversation into an argument, Zen?" Josh asked. If Zen wants to prove something by saying that, then Josh can argue back to Zen. And he is sure that none of them are gonna back down.

As Josh and Zen are having their moment, two figures are getting close to them. Anna looks at those two and a smile appeared on her face. "Hey, you two. Good timing."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's just that your dear childhood friend over here is currently dating someone and he kept it as a secret for quite some time." The two people Anna is facing right now is Nathalia and Leon. "Did you know about that?"

Nathalia paused for a minute and said, "No. I have no idea."  Nathalia is so speechless to the point she can only stare at Josh blankly.

Just like Zen, she also felt betrayed by him. He did not say a word to her. She also felt that she and Josh have become distant from each other. The thought of that is making her cry.

"H-hey. Why are you crying? Are you that happy that your best friend already found himself a girl?" Normally, Leon would tease Nathalia for not knowing about that. But seeing her cry discouraged him to do that. He even has no clue if Nathalia is crying out of happiness or sadness.

"Nathalia, why are you crying?" Josh asked worriedly. He has no idea what made Nathalia cry because of his focus on Zen, but whatever it is, he wants to know the reason. So that he knows that to do.

"It's your fault." Anna and Zen both said at the same time. The moment they saw Nathalia's tears, they knew right away that she had no idea that Josh is dating someone.

"My fault? How?" Joh asked with a frown on his face. Making Nathali cry is definitely one of the things he wants to avoid. Nathalia is like his precious little sister and it's making him sad to see her cry.

"You didn't tell her that bit of information," Zen said with a blank face. Unlike him, whatever Nathalia is doing, she always takes time to listen to whatever a person will have to say to her.

It Josh is going to say that he did say something and Nathalia didn't listen, then Zen will have to say something about it. He will defend Nathalia.

"Well, I am planning to tell her about it. And I plan to do it with Leah with me." Unlike what he did to Zen, Josh plan to introduce his girlfriend to Nathalia.

He wants to do it soon, but Leah, his girlfriend, is quite busy for the moment and couldn't find the time to come and meet Nathalia.

"Hey, Anna," Leon called out Anna's name. "While those three are busy talking, I have to tell you about what I found out about that girl you told me to find." The moment Anna asked him to do her a favor, Leon got the feeling that she's in a hurry to find the person.

That is why he is here, reporting right away as soon as he found something.

"What did you found out?"
