THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 25's. Flower Bouquets 3's
"She left me for heaven."
"I'm sorry to remind you."
"Hmm.it's over. No need to apologize." I cast off Mark's shadow. There's nothing I can do about it. "Tell me. Where we've met."
"It's been a long time, actually, it's worth you not remembering. I didn't say my name at the time either. I won't tell you the details. The details when you just received my lunch invitation." He returned with his lunch invitation.
"I just can't remember it, I think you're lying we've met." I still feel like he's lying of course.
"I'm not lying, I can swear by anything, I really appreciate our meeting, otherwise why would I try to apologize to you like this."
I wonder where we met. But my need to accept his apology is still too great. I just kept quiet about what he said when a woman joined us.
"Mr Alexsey, apparently you know Miss Dugard."
"Ahh Carrie, yes I know her. How are you doing?" He knows this beautiful Carrie, the son of a retired prime minister.
"Good as you can see. Ohh yeah I'm here to invite you to our show the day after tomorrow, the party's youth show, Monica you want to come? Andrew will come along too." Andrew was the son of Uncle Davis, our family was close, including Andrew, and I liked Andrew, but it seems that Andrew was fascinated with my brother. I can see it, but now Brother is with Gilbert. And they love each other, Andrew won't have a chance.
"Andrew's coming? Hmm. Okay, I'm coming, I guess."
"Alex, you're coming, aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm coming." He looked at me and said his consent.
"Perfect, good to see you all coming. We meet at Diamond Star at 9 o'clock." Carrie told us the venue and she left because she had to invite some others.
"You want to get picked up?" She thought it was some kind of dance party so I wanted to be picked up, even if she was definitely not my dance partner.
"No." I gave him those two letters.
"I'm just trying, I know the answer is no." He laughed as if my answer was what he expected. He looked at me, I was used to admiring gazes but somehow this time he made me nervous.
"Why are you looking at me that way."
"You really need to stop talking." I find his words funny now.
"Alright, at least forgive me and be my friend."
"Friends, what kind of trap is that?" I grimaced, still think it only makes me a candidate for his hunt, after he was bored maybe he would turn to other prospective hunters. It's as simple as that for an Alexsey Mashkov.
"Those friends just trust each other. I won't try to seduce you. The flowers I sent were to apologize to you, was there a single word on the card that was a sentence of seduction for you."
"I obviously don't believe you."
"Yes I know." He doesn't seem to care if I trust him or not what matters is that he keeps trying.
You know Andrew Davies well? Did you agree to come because there was Andrew?
"He's a family friend. We've known each other for a long time."
"I also know Andrew, he's a friendly man. Besides the Mr. Bassette I first met. He was also the first to be introduced later."
"He and Uncle Bassette co-workers of course. You're a young boy who joins in, it's easier to talk for a lifetime."
I feel like I've talked to him enough. Otherwise he'll feel big head I'd love to talk to him.
"Then I have to see the other friends."
"I can accompany you around."
"Not to." I cut him off quickly.
"Yes okay. See you the day after that." He knows he is not forcing.
"All right, see you the day after tomorrow."
I seem to be seeing it a lot now.
