Chapter 10
I usually play billiards, but will still try to play from my side. Even I play billiards and snookers, but this game is very tiring says Simon massaging his hand. I like chess but whenever I am out, I love to play badminton, basketball, kickboxing and tennis. Logan plays his shot. You seem to be a sports person. Someday, I will try kickboxing with you and I smile at him. Yaa, sure. It’s very late Logan and tomorrow you have an art gallery show says Simon and asks him to go. He stops and wishes me ‘goodnight’ holding Simon’s hand. Goodnight, Evan, Simon says you should also sleep now. I wish them and see them leaving the lawn. You will have superb night Simon ‘bastard’. I don’t know why I say this, is it out of excitement or jealousy? I question myself. I don’t want Logan to go with him and share bed with him.
Sarah, Carol and Weston drinking coffee at her place. It’s late dear, we need to go Carol puts her cup down and suddenly her phone rings and she leaves us to attend the phone call. Well, Sarah, I hope you don’t mind that I broke my promise. No, not at all even I am not in a mood to celebrate my birthday and you know the reason. In fact, I had a feeling that carol was not happy at that time when you asked her to arrange my birthday party without asking her. Sarah says on Weston face as she wants to read his expression. It is not like that she is always happy to do such things to make someone happy but for now she is busy with her new event and she is feeling really bad about it. Weston hesitates to speak because he knows that he is lying and lying to Sarah who is his childhood friend. Weston, you know her better, I really don’t mind and no hard feelings, Sarah understands that Weston is lying. Man! she is so adorable that she never does anything to make her friends feel offended says Weston to himself. You know that Carol is handling Peter’s project that ‘Peter Garfield’. Our school batchmate Weston tries to read Sara’s mind. Great! it’s being a long time that we haven’t seen our schoolmates. Sarah seems cheerful. I want to invite him for your birthday Weston says calmly. No need, we will meet him some other time. Come on! Sarah, it’s your birthday, Evan, Peter, Julie, John, you and I. Do you remember him? Of course, We didn’t talk much to Peter because he was good in mathematics, and we only used him to solve our problems and she laughs. Don’t be a spoil spot my friend now time has changed and we all have become sensible. Weston also laughs.
Oh, my sensible friend, why are you insisting to invite him? Just to make you happy. Weston smiles. My happiness is with Evan, aunt Victoria, uncle Ben and you. By the way When will Evan be back? In two or three days he will finalise everything and soon he will join us. Weston replies. Georgia is beautiful, even I want to go there. She smiles again. It is a beautiful place, join our office as PR and maybe then you get an opportunity to go there. Weston seems cunning. Don’t worry! Evan will take me on a holiday to Georgia. I need not to get employed in your company for that. She laughs. Of course, if his supercool girlfriend allows him then I can say he will take you. They both laugh. You are a pig! Sarah laughs loud. But still, I feel Sarah you need someone to treat you like you are a world to him. Weston says looking into Sarah’s eyes. So, what do you think? Weston asks. I don’t understand, Sarah questions. I know dear you had a crush on him. Weston reveals that he knows the truth, What? Who told you that? That thin, tall, plain face Peter never fascinated me. Sarah shocked. Who is the one then? Weston questions.
If your Chitchat is over then shall we leave. Carol asks. I need to sleep because tomorrow morning I have to do some important work. She stares Weston. Bye! Sarah, thanks for the coffee! Carol says. My pleasure, please visit some other time, Sarah tries to look normal. I know Weston will find a way to visit you again, so don’t worry, we will meet soon. Carol taunts. Weston gives an ugly look to Sarah. And they leave. Weston keeps thinking, Is there someone else in Sarah’s life? But who?
