Chapter 45
“Who are you?” I frowned when I didn’t recognize his voice. “This is Blake…’ “Blake?” I snapped my head towards Jake and he was stunned, his hands holding utensils hung up in the air. “The real Blake?” “Yes…” I was able to see him nodding from the other line. “I just want to inform you that Jenny… she was involved in an accident…” “What?” Out of disbelief and shock, I got up from my seat. “W-what happened?” And he explained to me what happened. “Okay, okay… I’ll get on the first available flight as soon as I can!” After I finished my call, I looked up to see that the couple for whom we had been waiting for nearly an hour had already arrived. “Jake, I’m sorry but I have to leave. My friend got into a car accident, and I had to go see her as soon as possible…” “But…” “My apologies…” I cut him off and gathered my bag before I left in a hurry, walking past Brylee and Sebastian, who were looking at perplexed. I couldn’t bare the thought of losing my one and only friend. Mom has already left me. I have no one else who believed in me but her. Only Jenny… 1 hurriedly went into my room and began to pack my belongings, excluding anything that was unimportant, in particular the items that Jake had purchased for me. After making sure that everything was in order, I quickly grabbed my backpack and dashed out of the room. I had just finished locking the door to my room and was on the verge of heading towards the elevator when I felt a hand grip my wrist. Assuming it was Jake, I forced a smile on my face and turned around, but as soon as my eyes met those cobalt blue eyes, it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. “S-sebastian…?” “Where are you going?” he asked, his eyes piercing right through me and I could sense longing in
them. I heaved a sigh as I worked my way gently away from his grasp on my arm. “I’m going back to New York… and when he opened his mouth, perhaps to inquire why, I stopped him by raising my palm and saying, It’s none of your business…” Was that the look of anguish that I saw in those blue orbs? “Goodbye, Sebastian…” my voice was small as I turned my back on him, leaving him completely bewildered. JEALOUS S POV “Why are you inviting her over late lunch, Sebastian?” There was a hint of jealousy and hatred in Brylee’s voice and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her. When she arrived with Jake riding that helicopter, I felt so disappointed. I wished they had never come to save us. I wanted to have more time with Celine. I wanted to get to know her better. When we got back to the hotel, everyone around us showed worry for me, but Jake was the only one who was concerned about Celine. He was the only one who cared about her. Somehow, I felt thankful that there was my cousin who was taking care of her, but I didn’t know why I felt something deep inside me. Like I was hurt… Like I was jealous of him. And Brylee… when she cried in my arms, she refused to even look at her sister. And as I gazed upon her flawless neck, I balled my hands into fists, increasing the level of rage I felt towards her. I have to know the truth as soon as possible. “We’re hungry and exhausted…” I answered as I let out a deep sigh. We had no access to food or water during the nearly six hours that we were stranded on the island. Do you not feel concerned about the well-being of your sister?” “What?” her eyes widened. “O-of course, I do… But, you don’t need to be concerned about her at all. She has her own boyfriend and he rests assured that he will take care of her…” “Can we just go now and eat with them? I’m starving…” I got out of my seat and exited the clinic,
making my way towards the elevator, but Brylee stopped me from walking further. “Would you mind waiting for me for a short while?” she had that annoying habit of biting her lip. “I’ll just go and change my clothes…” “Why? What could possibly be wrong with that?” I pointed to her clothing with my finger. “I’m not comfortable wearing this..” she said, batting her lashes at me. I averted my gaze from her and led the way to the elevator, allowing her to step inside first before I followed behind and hit the button corresponding to her floor. As soon as we walked inside her room, Brylee immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her lips against mine, which caused me to jolt in surprise at her abrupt movement. 1 didn’t want to kiss her back, but all I could see was Celine, and the want I had for her compelled me to respond to Brylee’s kiss. When I shut my eyes, I could still make out the image of Celine giving me a kiss. I could feel her smiling against my lips when I deepened the kiss and I pulled her closer, my hands touching her body. I hoisted her up and she wrapped her legs around my hips, maintaining the connectio between our lips. She let out a gasp when my hand travelled from her hips, up to the side of her breast, and I found that opportunity to thrust my tongue inside, sliding across the roof of her mouth. Although it’s a little. slower, the kiss we shared still seemed desperate and eager. I walked over to the bed and laid her down on it, and as I did so… she pulled me closer to her while my hands traveled over her body, moving down her arms, then her legs, and then back up, so I was gripping hold of her waist. I moved my lips away from her and grazed them along her jaw, down her neck and then along her collarbone, making her moan in pleasure. 2/4 “Seb…” She arched her back off the mattress at every kiss and mark I left on her skin, letting outNôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
small moans of appreciation. “Celine…” I whispered into the crook of her neck and I felt her freeze before she pushed me away from her. “Sebastian…!” she sobbed, and at that point I opened my eyes to look at her. “S hit!” I rubbed my hands over my face and got up from hovering over her when I realized that it was Brylee I was kissing, not Celine. “I’m sorry… I thought…” “You thought I was her?” she dramatically said, her voice trembled as she fluttered her eyelashes that were wet from her tears. “I’m sorry, okay….” I sighed. “You two look the same.” I tried to reason out, hoping she would buy it. “But why are you calling her name while you kiss me?” she slowly sat up and wiped her tears with her hands. “Did… did something happen. while you were trapped on the island?” “Nothing…” I shook my head. “I’m just… I’m thankful she saved from the snake. I mean… she sucked the poison out of the wound “Oh…” she mumbled, the expression on her face changing. “I really ought to thank her then. But the doctor assured me that the snake wasn’t dangerous…” “Because your sister already sucked the poison out, Brylee…” I groaned. “You should get ready now. They’re already waiting for us in the restaurant.” “Okay…” she said, smiling. As soon as her disposition shifted from being miserable to joyful, I let out a sigh of relief. I noticed that Jake was already eating as we entered the restaurant, while Celine was on the phone talking to someone. I frowned when she got up from her seat and said something to Jake before she walked out of the restaurant, walking past us. Because Brylee was engaged in smiling and waving her hand with the other guests, she didn’t notice her sister dash out of the room. I followed Celine with my gaze before I turned to Brylee and
cleared my throat. “I’ll just go to the restroom…” I said, unhooking her arm around mine. “But we’ve just arrived…” she said as she frowned and glanced up at me. “I’ll be quick. There’s Jake…” I pointed at the table where he was sitting. “Go and order something for us to eat…” “Okay, make it fast…” she said with a smile as she approached Jake, and I spun on my heel to follow Celine, who was hurrying as she entered the elevator.
