George's POV
"What do you mean? You're home."
"I know. But this isn't the kind of home I wanted to go home to. I wanted to go back to my place before Yul claimed me back as his wife."
"Stace..."
"That's right, Kate, call me Stacey. That's my name, I wouldn't be able to feel the pain— I mean, it would lessen the pain if I knew that I'm a whore before."
Harry pulled my arm and wrapped it around his waist.
He's now resting his chin on my shoulder, finally conquering my entire body as if I'm some kind of a ball.
"What's this commotion?"
It was Yul.
Damn.
I clenched my fist.
How dare he show his face...
"Why are you guys gathering here?" he asked.
It seems like he's a little bit dizzy because he's slipping into being unable to walk properly.
He just went home.
"Ha... I've been a little upset at work today. I don't know what happened, I just woke up feeling dizzy with all the paperwork on my face. I believe I finished them all last night. I don't know what happened before that?" said Yul, attempting to lie down on the couch.
Harry, Cygnus, Kate, and I looked at each other.
I rolled my eyes.
Is he trying to make his way out? No way, he's not gonna make it.
I won't believe any of his foolish lies to me anymore!
I went outside, leaving them all inside, only to release a stressful long deep sigh.
A couple of minutes after, they followed me.
"He's drunk, obviously," I said.
"He's not drunk. He knew what he was doing," said Cygnus.
"After all, if he really knows that, then what should I do, then? Should I let him make me feel as though I'm just a toy that he'll be able to come back with when he feels?" I said.
Harry was silent, observing what just happened. He wasn't assured if it was right to just assume things, or if they were just overthinking.
But all of these conversations were cut short when someone called my phone.
Who is it this time?
It wasn't registered. No name in my phone, so who just called?
"Hmm, answer it so you would know who's behind that call," said Harry.
Kate yawned.
"You sleepy?" asked Cygnus.
Kate nodded.
Ohh... is she pregnant?!
I can't ask, maybe it was just simple to me but might be the bigger issue for her and Cygnus' relationship.
"Do you want to go home?" asked Cygnus.
"Well, if that would be okay for Stace? I mean, I don't really want to go home because I can manage to stay here. but my body can't help yawning," Kate defended.
I replied because I can't take this anymore. "I mean I can do it, I can manage myself. Don't think about me, you guys. I know you have your own agenda in your lives and I have my own too. so you can leave if you want."
Harry interrupted. He said, "Besides, I'm here if you need someone to talk to."
Cygnus and Kate looked at each other as if they were talking through their eyes without a voice. As if they already know what they're talking about without sign language or verbal words.
"All right then answer your phone, it's been ringing for decades!" said Kate.
Then they both went away. Psh, for I know they just wanted to go home to do 'that.'
Why don't they just tell me without being so secretive? I'm not here to judge. As if I don't know what that is.
We waved at each other while I was answering the call.
"Hello?" I asked as soon as I picked up the call. "Who's this?"
I heard a long yelp! And a "what?!" and finally a long wow.
"It was you, ate Stacey?"
Stuttering, I replied, "Y-Yes. And who are you?'' I asked.
"Oh my gosh! It was you, I miss you, Ate Stace! When will I see you again? Since you've given birth to your twins I have never met you again."
I can feel the giggling in her voice and the tone she's carrying is really exciting. I smiled as I heard her.
"Uhmm.. is this Maecey?" I ask.
"Yes! Oh my gosh, you can still remember my voice even after so many years?! I really missed you!"
Now I can't help chortling.
"Stop!!" I said in a cute voice, giggling. It was a slang kind of tone as if I was a teenager who doesn't have twin children the way I talk. "It's not like a decade has passed for me not to remember you."
"Who's that?" I heard someone asking from the background.
There were two voices, one from a man and one from a woman.
It looks like they are fighting now over a phone call just to talk to me.
"You're always so selfish!"
"But I just want to talk to her! Am I entitled to be called selfish because of that?"
"Just give it to me!"
"No, give me the phone, give it to me now!"
"Stop!"
And suddenly, there was a rattle and I don't know anymore. Their lines are cut off by something I can't comprehend.
I just hang up instead since I can't hear them anymore.
Harry and I look at each other for a few seconds and then we crack up!!
"That was hilarious," I said.
"Yes, I can see it! It's actually written all over your face."
"I know right!"
Our little chit-chats had been interrupted when I was pulled by the man who cost me to cry a while ago.
It was Yul Matthew Servano.
"Why are you laughing with him? It's insulting to me," he said.
Nonchalantly, I look at him and roll my eyes. "Really?" I ask.
"Really?" he mimicked. "Your husband was alone inside your very house when you were outside early in the morning? Together with a man you almost had an affair with?!"
I rolled my eyes and now I can't help this anymore.
"If you're not comfortable then don't look at us."
"What the freak are you talking about?!" he asked. "If I'm not comfortable you are supposed to distance yourself from those I'm not comfortable with. But here you are, spending time with him as if you're not married."
"Go ahead and accuse me. I don't care."
