Chapter 185 - Down the drain

Matt kept on staring at Ella's picture for a really long time.

He knew that Ella had cheated on her but somewhere in his heart he still believed that Ella genuinely loved and cared for him. He had seen genuine love in Ella's eyes for him. May be the strong faith that Matt had for Ella's love stopped him from leaving her side and moving on his life.

The first year after Ella death was terrible. Matt felt miserable and shattered because he had no one to rely on but things changed after Bella marched into his life.

At first, he thought of her as a stubborn heiress who insisted on getting what she wanted. Matt thought that she would walk out on her own but Bella never left. 

Matt purposely overloaded her with excess work, pressured her to complete assignments for him before the deadline but she quietly did everything that he wanted without complaining. 

Slowly Bella started becoming a very important part of his life. She started taking care of all his needs and work without complaining.

Matt knew about her feelings since the very beginning but he never took them seriously but now that she was gone, Matt understood how important Bella was to him. 

It had just been two days but Matt was already feeling empty and lonely. He was missing her but he did not have the guts to confront her. 

Just then he received a call from Chris," Dude where are you?"

" Out, what is it?" Matt asked.

" We are crashing into Kevin's apartment and we have planned to party there all night." Chris said.

" Oh so does Kevin know that we are partying all night at his place?" Matt asked.

" No." Chris said.

Matt grinned and said," Cool, I am coming." before hanging up the call.

…..

Outside Kevin and Silvia's apartment.

With Silvia in his arms, Kevin rushed out of that elevator.

Hooking her arms around his neck, Silvia chuckled and asked," Why are you being so impatient?"

Increasing his pace, Kevin said," No time."

" You-" Silvia stopped talking when she saw their friends standing in front of their apartment.

" Dude where were you?" Matt asked.

" Yes, we have been since a really long time." Chris said.

" Ahh did we interrupt something?" Martha asked.

Kevin frowned and asked," What the hell are you all doing here?" 

" We are here to partaaayy." Rocky said.

" What party? Get the hell out of here." Kevin said.

" Kevin, don't be rude." Silvia murmured.

" But-"

" Let me down first." Silvia said.

Kevin shook his head and said," No."

" Let me down otherwise you are sleeping in the living room today." Silvia said.

Kevin frowned deeper and quickly let her down.

" We did not know that you all were coming so- anyway let's go inside." Silvia said before looking at her husband who had the world's most gloomiest expression on.

Passing the bags to Chris and Matt, Kevin said," You guys are gonna pay for this." Before unlocking the door.

….

Inside the apartment.

" Why are you all here?" Kevin asked.

" We were getting bored so we decided why don't we spend the evening together." Chris said.

" That is a great idea. Now why don't you all sit down and I'll get some snacks for you." Silvia said.

" Ohh do you people have some wine?" Rocky asked.

" I'll get it." Kevin said.

" Sil, I'll help you." Janet said before following Silvia to the kitchen.

" I'll go too." Martha said.

…

Inside the kitchen.

" So?" Janet asked before nudging Silvia's arm.

Silvia chuckled and asked," So what?"

" What were you guys up to?" Martha asked.

" Well, we had plans but it's alright." Silvia said.

" Bedroom plans?" Janet asked.

Silvia nodded her head and said," May be."

" So if we weren't here, you and Kevin would be naked by now right?" Martha asked.

" Will you guys stop?" Silvia said.

" Okay okay sorry." Martha said.

" So Martha how is married life?" Janet asked.

Giving her a thumbs up, Martha said," Awesome."

" Why? You wanna get married too?" Silvia asked.

Janet shook her head and said," Not yet, we still have time."

" Where is Ron?" Martha asked.

" What you people did not invite him?" Silvia asked.

" He is lost again." Janet said.

Silvia raised her eyebrows and asked," What do you mean by lost? 

" You know he just vanishes sometimes and then shows up after a few days." Janet said.

" Don't you find him a bit mysterious?" Martha asked.

Silvia nodded her head and said," I do."

" Me too but I guess we are used to his mysterious behaviour now." Janet said.

Just then Kevin entered the kitchen and said," I have already ordered snacks and dinner for everyone so let's go out." 

" Cool." Janet said before walking out along with Martha.

" Let's have dinner and kick them out of here." Kevin said.

Smacking his arm, Silvia said," Don't behave like that. They are our friends and this is our house okay? So be a good host."

" Yeah a good host who wasn't even informed about this sudden so called party." Kevin said grumpily.

Hooking his arms around his neck, Silvia tiptoed and said," Mr Austin, the night is still young." Before giving him a peck on his lips. 

" Let go outside." Silvia said before dragging her grumpy husband out.

….

Living room.

" So Silvia and I bumped into BELLA at the shopping mall." Kevin said.

Matt raised his head and kept on staring at Kevin.

Taking a sip of his wine, he said," She was there with her would be husband."

" Ahh, I see so what was she doing there?" Chris asked.

" Wedding shopping." Kevin said.

Matt tightened his grip around the glass and gulped down the whole content.

" Bullshit." Silvia cursed before throwing a cushion at Matt.

" You are a very stupid and a dumb man. My impression of you has gone down the drain." Silvia said. 

Matt widened his eyes in shock and asked," Hey, what did I do?" 

Silvia frowned and said," What did you do? Like seriously." 

Turning towards Kevin, Silvia asked," Why are you friends with someone so stupid?"
