Homepage/Are We Still Strangers, Darling?/
Chapter 20
Solstice's Pov
I went to the front gate, and I spotted my friends. I saw them inside the car and they all looked at me. They waved their hands at me.
“Girl, we thought you'd take so long to get here. By the way, nice outfit," Carl said as he unlocked the door on the back seat.
“So, Luan let you go?“ Lyra asked.
Ivy said, "shh, no one should mention the devil, I mean the Devlin."
I went in the car and smiled, “let's go. “
Hearing them call my husband like that kinda makes me feel not good. I understand that they're my friends and they want to protect me, but he's my husband.
We are now here in the house where I used to live. I walked in, remembering the days when I used to stay here, remembering all the memories we had made here.
I sat down on the couch, leaning my back against the couch. I deeply sighed and stared at them.
“So, what are we going to do?“ I asked them
”Of course, we're going to watch some movies, funny and horror movies,“ Carl said, walking towards the couch where he sat down. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.
“Wait, I'll prepare our food!“ Lyra excitedly yelled and ran to the kitchen to get some snacks while Ivy just sat down beside me, relaxing.
As we were watching a movie, I heard a ring from my phone. I looked at it and saw who was the caller. Smiling, I stood up from my seat and looked at my friends.
"I have to answer this important call. I'll be back,“ I said as I went to the kitchen, so they wouldn't hear me.
I swiped the screen, answering the call.
"Darling, are you okay there?“ Luan asked.
I just left the house an hour ago and he already called. I looked at the top part of my phone to look at the time and it's still 8 o'clock in the evening.
I'm fine. Why? Miss me, “I chuckled as I teased him.
“Mhm,“ he responded with a hum.
“What does mhm mean?“
“I miss you,“ he quickly said, and ended the call.
This call made me feel that a person could miss me too. It made me feel a warm feeling in my heart and it made me happy. That call made my lips curl into a smile. These things are new to me. Before, Luan usually called for business purposes only, but now he called me to check up on me and to say he missed me.
I went back to the living room where we were watching
“Oh, oh, ohh, what's with the smile?“ my blue-haired friend said, Carl.
“Nothing, just one of my designs got accepted,“ I said and chuckled.
“Something is suspicious,“ Carl said, as if he wanted me to say something to whatever I was hiding.
“Why? “ I asked him. Every time they're going to ask me something that I don't want to answer, I just reply with a question too.
“Oh my goodness!Don't tell me—”he gasped, placing a hand on his mouth to look shocked.
"Tell me what? Haha, “I chuckled nervously.I'm already sweating because of this nervousness. Maybe they suspect that me and Luan are already okay.
“Don't tell me you have already moved on! That's why you're not sad because of the devil, I mean, Devlin,“ Carl said.
“Wait! Have you already moved on? “ Ivy stood up from her seat and turned around, looking at me.
“Congratulations!“ Lyra yelled, congratulating me.
“Woahhh!“ Carl screamed.
“Wait, wait! I'm just happy because my work has always been accepted, okay? Don't misunderstand it, and I still love Luan, “I sighed and crossed my arms.
“Ohh...“ they simultaneously said.
“Let's go back to watching,“ I muttered, rubbing my temples. They always assume something.
We all went back to watching, and while I was watching, I felt my phone vibrate in my hands. Since I'm on the side of the couch, I turned to the side, facing Ivy, so they won't see the messages I'll open. As soon as I opened my messages, my cheeks turned red.
I saw a photo of Luan who has just finished bathing, with a towel on the lower part of his body and wet hair. It was a mirror shot.
Luan: I just finished bathing. How are you there?
Solstice: Still watching. I think I'll be home late. We watched a new movie, so maybe I'll be home at 11.
Luan: Mhm
Solstice: Are you upset?
Luan: Just enjoy and take care.
I think he's upset. I looked at the clock and it's already 9:30 pm. I don't want to upset him, and I understand that he only wants me to go home at 10, because at night it's always dangerous.
Solstice: I'll be home at 10, see you.
I chuckled as he liked my messages but didn't respond, so I liked his other messages.
“Guys, it's near 10 pm now. I need to go home.“ I looked at them.
“Aw, can't you just sleep here? Your room is still available, "Ivy said.
“I want to, but I need to go home. You know, Luan doesn't like waiting, he's the one who locks the house, so yeah, I need to go home early. “ I gave them a smile and scratched the back of my head.
“Alright, we'll drive you home," Carl said, getting out of the car.
“Okay, thank you,“ I said.
We stood up and cleaned our mess. We turned off the TV, cleaning the living room, the couch, and the dishes in the kitchen. After we cleaned, we went to the car.
“You know, girls, this is fun. We all got to spend time together having fun. I hope we can do this again, but next time, with our babies, “Carl said while he drove.
“You speak as if you can get pregnant, Carl,“ Ivy said.
"You're such a moron, there's a thing called adoption, duh," Carl chuckled as he rolled his eyes.
"Hahaha," Lyra suddenly laughed because of what she was watching.
We all laughed, not because of what Lyra was doing, but because of her laugh.
