CHAPTER 30: THE PAST CAME BACK TO HUNT ME


    LILY’S POV:


    “We are not done yet”, He said to me and I was shocked. Niki smirked at my reaction and walked to the door to open it.


    He opened the door and frowned at the people waiting.


    “Oh-wait! What are y-you doing in th-thedy’s room?!”, The firstdy asked Niki, she looked at him like he was some kind of pervert.


    I rushed to the door, I needed to clear up the air.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    “Oh no, he was–“.


    “Mydy needed help with her zippers, that’s why I’m in here”, Niki said before I couldplete my sentence.


    The twodies standing outside looked at Niki with shock and then at me, they blushed and I blushed too.


    ‘Oh Lord, they’re definitely thinking something’, I said in my head.


    “Hahahaha”, I startedughing awkwardly and theyughed too.


    “Let’s go babe”, Niki suddenly said to me with a endearing look in his eyes and a soft smile.


    “Huh?”, I uttered in surprise.


    “What? Do you need me to fix your bra straps too?”, Niki asked again and


    I gasped, thedies giggled.


    “Hahaha, let’s get going ‘babe’!”, I dragged Niki out of thedy’s room,ughing awkwardly.


    Once we were far from thosedies, I let go of Niki’s hand and turned to face him, looking at him for exnations.


    “What?”, He asked like he didn’t know what I’m talking about.


    “Why would you do that?”, I asked him, trying hard to lower my voice so I wouldn’t cause a scene.


    “The bra straps or… the kiss?”, He asked again and I wanted to cry. My cheeks are hurting from the every second blushes.


    “Shhh!”, I managed to say and walked fast, away from him.


    I heard him chuckle.


    We headed back to our VIP room and just when I was about to turn at a corner, I bumped into ady and her purse fell down.


    “Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry!”, I said and bent down to pick the items that scattered on the floor.


    “Hey! Are you blind?!”, She shouted at me. I paused from picking up the purse, not because of the insult but because her voice sounds so familiar. I finally brought my head up and I saw it was.


    “Olivia?…”.


    “Li–Lily?!”, She stuttered, shock written all over her face, I know I was thest person she would expect to see here, in this type of restaurant. I scoffed and licked the inside of my cheek.


    “What? Didn’t think you would see me here huh?”, I asked her and she took a step backwards.


    “Babe! do you still want the–“, The person stopped talking as soon as he saw me, his hand was already holding Olivia’s waist.


    It was Troy, my ex boyfriend.


    “Lily?”, He called in surprise, quickly removing his hand from Olivia’s waist.


    “Tro… Troy?”, I said his name and I could sense the tears at the back of my eyes.


    “Wha-what are you doing here?”, Olivia had the nerves to ask me.


    “Why? Am I not allowed to be here? Or alive?”, I asked her, she looked away, if I wasn’t aware of the type of person she was, I would have thought she felt guilty.


    “Are you two dating now?”, I asked, it was clear as day but I wanted to hear from them.


    Olivia looks all rich and fancy, I’m sure she was making use of the money she got from selling me. The more I thought about the past, the more those tears threatened toe out.


    “You have no shame Olivia, how dare you try to hurt again after what you did with my boyfriend?”, I shouted so the entire restaurant would hear us, I didn’t care about the scene I was causing.


    I noticed a hosting to my direction, probably to stop the disturbance. I could already hear some customers murmuring.


    I was still staring at the two shameless people in front of me when I felt a hand at my waist, gripping me tight, silently trying tofort me.


    I looked over to the person and it was Niki, I smiled.


    “Who is he?”, I heard Troy ask, his voice sounding like that of a jealous boyfriend.


    “And what is that to you?”, Olivia asked Troy, I could feel she was already getting angry at him.


    “Shall we go babe?”, Niki asked me out of the blue, he said loudly for Olivia and Troy to hear.


    “Yes, let’s leave”, I replied and he guided me out of there, then suddenly Troy grabbed my hand and I flinched.


    “Who the fuck is he?!”, He demanded.


    I stared at him and scoff, how shameless can he be?


    “And what makes you think you have the right to ask that? Do you know what your girlfriend here did to me huh? Do you remember what you two put me through? Now you think you can ask me about my private life? FUCK YOU!!”, I said yanking my hand back from his grip.


    He didn’t give up, he tried taking Niki’s hand away from my waist but Niki held his fingers and twisted them.


    “AAAHHHHHHH;!!”, Troy screamed like a girl. The entire restaurant has gone into chaos.


    The host who tried approaching the scene didn’t make any move when Niki stepped in.


    “Stop it please! OT HURTSS!!”, Troy cried the more.


    Niki smiled, drew him closer and held him by the cor of his shirt.


    “I’m just letting today go because of I am in a very good mood. Next time you and that ugly bitch approach my girl again, I will cut off your fingers and tongue and make both of you eat them. Got it”, Niki warned and Troy nodded vigorously.


    Niki then let go of Troy’s hand, he smiled at the dumbfounded me and we left the restaurant.


    The ride back home was awkward, maybe for me. I couldn’t stop thinking about the encounter with Troy and Olivia, the way Niki addressed me as his dy’ and the kiss… especially the kiss.


    ‘God! I think I’m going crazy’, I sighed.


    ***


    We got home and I hurriedly back inside, I needed to be alone to cry my eyes out.


    “Hiiiii, you guys are back–“, Galina tried saying and I totally ignored her.


    “What’s up with her?”.


    “Just leave her be. She needs some time alone”. I heard Galina and Niki say.


    I rushed upstairs as the tears was already on myshes.


    I entered my room and locked the door, jumped to the bed and let the tears pour out. I cried my hearts out


    ‘What did I do in my past life for this to happen to me?’, I wondered.


    I know I promised myself I wouldn’t cry again because of my ex boyfriend and ex best friend but I didn’t imagine I would see them there, together.


    ‘What were you thinking? Of course they would be dating openly now that you’re out of the picture’, My inner thoughts told me.


    Not anymore, this would be thest time they would have such effect on me.


    All this problem isn’t making me think about the kiss in thedy’s room with Niki, God it was so hot!


    “Fuck!”, I cussed and stood up, I checked the time and it was 2 in the afternoon.


    I needed to get out of this dress and take a warm shower. I did just that, dried my hair and went back to bed.


    I can’t go downstairs, Galina would surely bombard me with questions, I can’t face Niki now so I’m just gonna sleep till dinner time, maybe by then my head would be calm.
