Hunter’s P. O. V

Today has been truly another frustrating day in my life and I am honestly having an internal brain drain between my stomach and my head.

Chance stopped by the office and I sincerely don’t know how, but he convinced me to a night out with him.

Now I’m at the bar in a club drowning my self in various types of liquor.

On a Monday night.

I have a feeling deep down, that I will regret this later.

” So what do you intend to do about Jules and Mason?”

Everyone keeps asking what I intend to do like I can do anything, they’re far too gone to bring back.

And he calls her Jules too? Wow.

” What do you think?” I gulped down another glass with it’s flavor stinging my throat as it went down.

I gestured to the bartender for another refill.

” Walk up to Mason? Try another end for this approach” he said suggestively and I couldn’t help but laugh.

” You’re saying I should try to control Mason’s heart after he’s in deep?, I couldn’t even stop Iris from falling for him and she was directly under my nose”

I saw this coming and I clearly told Iris to back off, but she didn’t.

” You are not just going to sit back and watch right?” Chance actually looks worried about the whole situation at hand, it’s a shame I can’t do a thing.

” Chance look, I’ve tried my very best. I did all I could but it got me nowhere. Right now, I resign. I have a lot more things to do with my life than terminate her relationship” as much as it pained me to say it, it is the truth.

” What? Dude you’ve worked far too long and hard just to give up now” our glasses were handed back to us, full once again.

” I’ve made my choice” I swallow down my drink and request for another.

” No you have not. Bro, I think it’s high time you spilled the juice to them, Tell ’em the major reason why they can’t work. At least for now” Chance kept up his argument.

I laughed again and a lot louder this time.

I think these drinks are beginning to get to me because I never would have reacted so loudly on a normal day.

” Hate to break it to you buddy, but they fucking know” I shugged another shot and signalled for more.

” Okay, I swear I didn’t tell anyone” he defended evoking another laughing response from me.

” I know you didn’t. Mason did”

” Mason?” He’s only more confused than ever.

” Mason knew all along. So if that couldn’t stop them what will?”

The music booming in the background fill my ears and I want nothing more than to forget everything just for tonight.

I should be on my tenth or eleventh shot and a drowsy feeling whirls in my head.

After a while, I had assumed Chance had dropped the topic but he speaks on it again.

” Are you sure this isn’t to spite you?”

” Huh?” Did I hear him say spite?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

” Really, look at it. Mason knows your intents with his sister but you’re clearly hiding it from his Dad for a business deal, then he goes after your secretary and making no effort to hide it despite the risks”

He had a point, a very big and useful point but it wasn’t true.

I’ve watched them from afar, it looks realistic so far as I could tell.

That’s why I’m angry with her.

Despite everything I did she still went ahead and ruined my plans.

Being full blown happy while I try to piece together my remains.

” As much as I want to believe you, it’s not true Chance. I’ve seen them together”

He only nodded in affirmation knowing there’s nothing else to say.

” Alright. So…” He swung an arm around my shoulder and directed my body to look over at a spot. ” That chic in a blue crop has been sending lingering gazes this way” and he wiggled his brows at me.

I chuckled, glad that he had changed the subject and threw his arm off me.

” Dude, I have eyes for only Michelle”

He laughed back as we began our night of fun.

While I wasted myself, he kept sober to flirt with anything in a skirt.

Iris’s P. O. V.

It was only a few minutes after midnight when my phone woke me up from my sleep.

The caller ID says Hunter, and I can’t understand why Hunter will be calling me at this hour from his bedroom.

Wait? Did he even come home last night?

” Hello?” Was the first thing I said after answering the call.

” Hello, Jules? Is that you? ”

This isn’t Hunter but the voice is awfully familiar.

” Err-Yes? Please who-” he didn’t let me complete before interrupting.

” Oh good. It’s Chance and I need your help”

Chance? With Hunter’s phone? Needing my help by twelve eleven am?

” How may I help you?”

” Jules, Hunter is currently too drunk to drive and I need you to come get him”

Drunk?

” He’s drunk?”

” Yes he is and can you come quick? Please?”

” Why call me? Hunter and I aren’t really in the best of terms at the moment”

He’s still with the attitude of last week by being unnecessarily angry with me.

” It’s not like you guys have good terms with each other” he mumbled.

” Fair point. So call someone else”

” No. You’re the only person who can come take him home right now”

” What about you?”

” I’m catching a cab home. We used his car”

” What of Michelle?”

” Based on the information you already know, calling Michelle out at this hour to come get Hunter is too suspicious”

He almost spat those words at me, so I believe Hunter let out a few things to him.

” What about Dylan?” I asked again.

” He’s not going to come” he replied bluntly like it’s plain obvious.

” How do you know? He’s here currently”

” Is the Dylan we are referring to the same as Hunter’s cousin?”

” Yes”

” Then he won’t turn up. Jules please”

” Whatever, where’s the place?”

” Thanks love. Gerrit street, Louiton avenue. Sal Paulo’s club”

” I’ll be there” It almost didn’t come out from my lip but it did.

” Hurry”

I groaned into the receiver before muttering a fine and closing up our call.

I needed Edward to drive me to the venue cause I needed an escort to such a place at this hour.

This is going to be a long night.
