The Choise
Not Numbness

Amy with her arms folded over her chest with a flat face stood up as she looked at a woman who looked down in fear at her doorstep.

"Good night, Amy," she said clumsyly.

"Night too, Lucia!" reply Amy flat.

Damnit damnit!

If not for worrying about Eve's condition, he wouldn't have come here tonight. Given Eve's unkind home, Lucia fights back her fear of Amy to make sure her best friend gets home safely.

He felt guilty for letting Eve go home drunk.

Amy paves the way, letting Lucia in while looking down as she passes by.

"Lucia?"

"Good night, Lewis."

Why is he being like the villain here? Fortunately his gaze instantly caught the figure of Eve staring at him flat from the living room sofa.

"Eve! You didn't hit the sidewalk, did you?!" Just passed Lewis.

"You guys just talk. We went to the backyard with Daniela and Stefan" Lewis said.

"Let me see your body. Is safe?" Lucia flips through Eve's body, which only turns the eyeball.

"Stop, Lucia. You don't see the mood now?" Eve massaged her forehead which was still a little dizzy.

"Indeed why—" he stopped when he realized there was someone else there.

But that was not what surprised him, but rather the figure of a man he had seen. Tampa realizes Lucia hit Eve's arm without turning her gaze at the man.

"Your relationship turned out to be that far," he murmured. Eve looked at him in wonder.

"Tell me honestly. You're dating, right?" Lucia squinted her eyes at Eve suspiciously.

Niel smiled faintly hearing it. The two women whispered but still sounded clear.

"I've just broken up if you forget," Eve replied pushyly, unwilling to bother with Lucia's suspicions.

"I saw you come out of a special room at the club. You're with him, B*itch!" whispered Lucia.

Eve's lazy rampage had now stopped with a surprised look.

"You're kidding me!" hiss Eve gave a small glance at the grinning Niel.

"You don't remember, do you? Hmh! I'm guessing."

Eve glanced once more at Niel. He unconsciously touched his lips. Actually while cleaning up earlier, Eve had noticed her lips were slightly swollen and red and there was even a small bite wound.

It was impossible for him and Niel— Eve to shake their heads.

Lucia fixed her seat and faced Niel with a slight throb.

"I'm Lucia and you're Eve's new date."

"Niel," said flatly Niel.

"Well, Niel!"

"What are you talking about—" Eve was about to interrupt.

"Stt!" Lucia put her finger on Eve's lips.

"Eve just broke up with her boyfriend. So let me tell you— she's a little different from most women. If you're hoping for a romantic moment or a hot atmosphere, forget it!"

"She even treated her lover like a friend" Lucia whispered at the end.

"He has a tissue-thin patience. I've always worried he'll have a stroke because it's explosive."

Eve began to lose her patience. The girl looked at her best friend with a gaze as sharp as an eagle ready to tear apart its prey. Lucia shuddered in place.

"Just I said, he's been trying to tear me apart." After saying that, Lucia stood up to pick up her bag and ran as fast as she could from there.

"LUCIA!" exclaim Eve with clenched hands.

"IT'S NIGHT. I'M HOME, HONEY!" lucia shouted back from outside.

"Is that? You suck at relationships" chirped Niel, making the sharp gaze now turn to her.

"I don't need a man to spoil me!" ketus Eve's. The girl pa.s.sed towards her room, leaving a smiling Niel satisfied to see her.

"Andrea!"

The girl behind the wall froze with cold sweat that started to come out. The girl came out while holding her nape.

"I—iya?" nervous, like a girl caught stealing.

"Tell me all about your brother."

"What?"

"Eve is grumpy and don't try to test her patience, but she loves me." Andrea smiled as she explained about her sister as if she was in love.

No wonder to Niel. He had already seen for himself how much Eve was paying attention to Andrea.

"Niel?" Brian waved his hand in front of Niel's face. Niel's sharp gaze immediately highlighted him.

"Bored living?" niel asked raising his eyebrows.

"Calm down, Dude." Brian chuckled back to his seat.

"How was last night?"

"Like your expectations," replied Niel flatly. It's stupid what Brian thinks. Niel's answer invited laughter from Brian.

The man clapped his hands while laughing. "Congratulations, Niel. Has taken away your virginity."

Last night's girl must have been so great that she had Niel interested in touching her. Brian had even thought that the girl was lifeless today. Overused? Whatever.

"Don't forget your safety?" It can be troublesome if the girl comes to hold him accountable.

Niel smiles. He doesn't need that! Is it good that Eve is pregnant with her child?

"No need" he said as flat as possible.

Brian nodded helplessly. Niel is not afraid of anything.

"Yes, that girl can't mess around. He's got a lot of men, so can't sue you for one."

"What do you mean?" niel asked in a dislike tone.

"What's wrong with you?" Brian put on a confused look.

"What do you know about him?"

"I don't know, but she's a club girl. Come, Niel. This is not the first time a woman has approached you. Before going to your office I also accidentally saw her with a man."

Brian's last sentence certainly made Niel growl and clench his hand.

"Where is he?" dinginja.

"Who?"

"That girl! Where's she!"

The surprised Brian tried to calm down and say what he saw and where he saw. Without a second thought Niel immediately stepped out of the room with Brian with his increasingly confused face.

"He's not in love, is he?"

Oh God! There is no way that Niel would be that innocent until she falls in love with ***** first. Maybe Niel misinterpreted his opium as love.

"You don't feel anything, do you?" ask a man in front of Eve.

"What?" Eve raised her eyebrows.

"Related, upset or hurt?" ask the man again.

"Is that necessary?"

"See? You don't feel anything, do you. The truth is you never felt anything, Eve."

In this case, even though he cheated on her, he was also disappointed. Eve wouldn't waste her time thinking about her heartache on someone else, would she? Yes that's how Eve is.

"You don't understand me" said Eve flatly.

Lucio nodded, "Well you're right. I don't understand you even today. I should've heard you didn't fall in love, right?"

"I've warned you."

Lucia laughed a little. Eve actually had no feelings for him at all. It's his fault for falling in love with the wrong person.

"I'm glad to hear you went to the club and got drunk, and then swore at me over and over again. I think you've been feeling jealous and angry, apparently because you feel your pride is being played with" said Lucio.

Eve just watched.

The man with the bluish iris of the eye stood up from his seat.

"Nobody will survive if you continue like this, Eve," he said before leaving.

Eve ignores Lucia's departure without even looking. He took a glass of wine on the table and drank it.

"That's why I prefer to be alone" Eve murmured.

Not believing in love. In fact, until now he had never felt like that despite having dated Lucio for a year. Perhaps that was why Lucio was angry to the point of having another woman to make him jealous even in vain.

Eve herself had once wondered if one day there was someone who could make her have that taste. Someone who can be patient for him and accept it like this.

Lewis the father once told him, not numb but had not met the right person. When you find him, you'll naturally strive for him.
