Just Lust novel Chapter 13

What the fuck?

My lips trembled and my hand seemed to lose strength as I let go of the cellphone.

But it's my birthday today!

I sighed heavily and tried to test papa. I called it and it answered immediately.

"Dad-".

"I'm in the middle of the meeting daughter." He immediately cut me off.

My tears rolled down my cheeks. Didn't even greet? That immediately?

"Dad, I-I need" my heart ached like it was being squeezed. It hurts.

"You need money ?okay, I'll send six digits to your account and happy birhday . "my heart jumped at the last thing he said. Even though the tears were dripping, there was still a smile.

"Thanks dad. I love you."

"I love you too take care please." he said to me.

"I will dad."

All night I could only think of Clinton so I called him. I plan to include him later in the concert.

A few rings before he answered.

"Yes, baby?"

I don't know what to feel. Doesn't he really know it's my birthday?

"Hmm, where are you?"

"I just woke up. I'm sorry. "It was obvious in his voice that it was hoarse.

"Can we go out tonight?"

"Sure! Wait, did you eat?"

"Nope, just coffee."

He groaned. "Fix yourself, let's eat somewhere."

I smiled widely with excitement.

"Really ?!"

"Ofcourse, faster please. I'll wait for you downstairs?"

"Okay."

He's so sweet! Hos voice is serious but what is being said is sweet! Besides, even though he's cold with me, he behaves differently! That seems simple caring!

After all I was getting ready. I am wearing a simple white shirt and a faded short. I paired that with white sneakers. Put powder on face. And liptint on the lips.

Maybe my birthday will be happy somehow. As I went down, my chest throbbed harder. I was so excited that I didn't know. After descending, I came out of the building and was greeted by the heat of the sun.

And then there I saw a black Honda Civic parked on the side . The frontseat door opened then.

While in the jewelries section we met Berna.

My forehead creased. I've noticed for months that Clinton no longer pays attention to Berna.

It was then that I sometimes saw them and I was even jealous. That's why I bullied her. I noticed because she just pretends to be poor and nerd but inside she's an insecure bitch.

When we met, my eyes were already focused on Berna. I saw her shocked when Clinton saw us. She even stopped walking.

I rolled my eyes. She's too obvious. She's wearing a dress and a sandals. She doesn't have eyesglasses anymore. Now her hair is loose. Why the sudden change huh?

Clinton saw her but it seems nothing to him. Dire it just straight and holding my waist with one hand. When we got close she suddenly tripped. And even grabbed Clinton's arm.

My forehead furrowed. Clinton held her arm.

"Hey, are you okay?" he question to Berna.

"Ugh! I think my ankle is sprained!"

But I don't believe it.

"Can you just walk right?" I said.

She shooked her head. "No .. it hurts."

I rolled my eyes. Clinton turned to me.

"Baby I'll just take her outside."

"What ?!" I hissed annoyingly.
