The day went by like a blur. My mind was filled with Lucas since he was so annoying. I can't believe how he's even in my mind now that he's not here. What the heck is wrong with me?
"Did you sleep with him?"
Sarah eyed me as we were now eating lunch. For some odd reason, I wonder why she said that. Wait, does it look like we slept together? Well, I mean. We did sleep in the same bed, but it's not like anything happened, right? I told Sarah that I didn't, but she doesn't seem to believe me.
"You haven't told me yet how you knew him. You're not even in the same department."
Sarah asked with her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and that got me wondering. If it wasn't for me eavesdropping on Simon and Thomas's conversation, I wouldn't have known him. Still, how am I supposed to tell her that when I promised them that I wouldn't speak about that to anyone, but since they're in the same club maybe Sarah knows about this too?
"Hey, I was just wondering, but is there anyone at your club that is in a relationship?"
I don't really know how to ask her that, since what if she doesn't know? It would be bad if I accidentally told her what happened. Sarah just sighs in annoyance when I decided to change the topic since she was too curious about how Lucas and I became so close that we're living together.
"You're interested in someone from my club? That's new. But no. Not that I know of. And you still haven't answered me."
Sarah glared as I sighed in relief. I'm glad that I didn't blurt out the fact that Simon and Thomas are in a relationship.
"Well, it was just an accident. He helped me one time, and we ended up being close."
I shrugged, but Sarah still didn't believe me. Well, what can I say? I wouldn't believe me either if I were her. It's just weird how you think about it. I mean, the combination of Lucas and me? is just rare and not something that I would be proud of since he is so annoying. He was lucky that he's attractive.
"I still can't believe that you ended up following him.. and he didn't do anything to you.. I mean, that's really not him since just last week he was going around with Alex, the girl from my club. You know, the frizzy hair? They have this kind of relationship where.. they fuck and go?"
Sarah said as I finally understood why the girl, Alex, looked at me like that. No wonder she was acting so cold to me after Lucas said that we were in a relationship. Well, we're not. But I don't know what the others believe. And what exactly is fuck and go? Did they sleep together and just leave, or something? That is really weird. Well, not that I care since I don't really want to be entangled with Lucas anymore. I must admit that his charms are really working on me, but I will not swoon for him after knowing the fact that he's in a fuck and go relationship... which will never work for me since I want someone who's going to love me only. I don't like sharing.
"We're just roommates, nothing more than that."
I assured Sarah as she told me to be careful around Lucas since he really is a player. Sarah told me to not fall for a guy like him since I would only hurt myself if I did. I'm really thankful for that since I almost got caught up in his game last night... Ugh. I could die. It was so embarrassing.
"I don't know how many times I have asked you this, but are you not going to join our club?"
Sarah stared at me with her puppy eyes. I can't believe how hard she's trying to make me join, despite knowing that I don't have that much time on my hand to be hanging around people doing God knows what.
"You will have to pay me to join your whatever club it is."
I joked, not really meaning it, since why would she even pay me to join their club? That was an absurd idea.
"Really? How much do you want?"
A voice approached Sarah and me as I was shocked to see who it was. It was the guy from Sarah's club. I don't really know his name, so when he said that, I was truly dumfounded. It was weird since he was sitting with us. Sarah and him exchanged their greetings while I was still surprised by what he said.
"This is our club president. Ezekiel. Say hello to each other. Your remember Mia right?"
Sarah introduces us to Ezekiel, who smiles at me in return. He held out his hand for me to take. Okay, what is with this weird situation?
"So, Mia. How much do I have to pay you to join us?"
Ezekiel gave me a sweet smile as I couldn't help but notice how cute his dimples were. Woah. That was my first time seeing a guy like that. I was starstruck indeed. Sarah kept telling me how Ezekiel is loaded and I should just name my price, but I was too shocked to even say anything.
"Wait, no. I was only joking."
I blurted out, and that made Ezekiel laugh. Oh wow, he's cute. Shit, why am I feeling so giddy right now? And the thing about his stares making me uncomfortable that I said before has totally vanished from my mind since I could TOTALLY melt into his arms when he's looking at me with those eyes. Oh my goodness. I told him that I didn't have any free time since I was busy working.
"You should join us really. We're going on a trip next week for three days, so I really hope you will join us, yeah?"
Ezekiel again smiled at me with his eyes shining with hope. Why is he so cute?! I don't know why seeing him smiling at me makes me feel so excited. For some reason, I wanted to do everything that he told me to. I noticed Sarah was smirking at me as she was just too quick to realise things, which is so weird. Her teasing gaze is making me feel even more nervous. Oh my god. Ezekiel kept telling me about their club and how they usually went on trips and spent time with each other. Like, wow? They're really close to each other and seem to be spending a lot of time with one another.
"You should come by this afternoon. 'See you there? Please?"
Ezekiel pleaded with his eyes, looking so cute I just wanted to squish his cheeks. I don't know why I just couldn't say no to him? Oh my goodness. When he leaves, Sarah tells me that I should just seduce him since he seems interested in me. That was embarrassing. And cute. He was so cute.
"I'm only telling you this since you're my friend, so listen carefully. Ezekiel is fucking loaded. He's a gentleman and he's a nice guy. You should totally date him. Your life will be so much easier if you're with him."
When Sarah says that, I can't help but feel somewhat apologetic since she literally just told me to my face that I'm poor and that I should seduce him just because he's rich. Strangely, I don't feel so good after hearing that. Although I do think that Ezekiel is cute. It just feels wrong since it might feel like I'm using him...
"Why didn't you seduce him?"
A thought just crossed my mind as Sarah just laughed at my silly question. Or to her, it is silly.
"Cute guys are so not my type."
Sarah gave me a wink as I couldn't help but feel how nice it would be if I were here. Life must be nice if I'm not so poor.
