FIVE: LIVE IT UP

SAPPHIRE

Days have passed and I continue acting the same towards them. I don't want to be reminded of what happened that night. I did my best to forget the last thing that I remembered that time.

I refused to answer every time they would ask about what happened and where did I go that night. I just told them to stop asking. I don't want anyone to know what happened that night, I have already made up my mind that no one will know.

I was adored by many, and I'm afraid that they might feel disgusted with me when they find out about what happened that night.

Dad, Hiro, and Evan were curious about what did happen that night, but as I said, I don't want to be reminded of anything that happened that night so as days passed they also start to just forget about that time.

"Sapphire, I want you to dress well later for dinner, I invited my business partner to come over and join us for dinner also for our partnership anniversary," Dad said while we were eating breakfast.

I nodded. "Okay, Dad" I simply said and continue eating.

"He will join us with his sons" He added smiling widely.

I just nodded while my eyes were still on my food. I was quick to finish my breakfast as I will come with Evan, he said he will take me to university as he will also fetch me later.

They always do this when a family dinner or visitor is coming because I always come home late when I have my car with me. They know that I will just go to the club and join my friends and have fun, so for them to make sure that I will make it right on time or earlier, they will take me to university and will also fetch me after.

I did my best to always act normal, I was bothered by what happened that night but I was doing my best to focus.

Everything went normal as I wanted it to be. Until lunch break came. I went to the cafeteria with Micca and Liam. Liam just take us to the cafeteria and also left as he said he have soccer practice, he can't skip as he was the captain of their team.

"So you don't have a plan to tell anyone where you went that night?" Micca suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" I asked and faced her, confused.

She shrugged and took a sip of her apple juice. "Don't act fool Saph, tell me. You know you can trust me right? You can tell me what happened that night" Micca said. "Why did you suddenly fade? Where did you go? What happened that night?" She asked curiously, I still can see the worry in her eyes.

I took a sigh, I think about it for minutes. But also end up telling her the truth, I told her everything that I remember that night and also what happened the next morning when I woke up.

She was shocked, she apologized for forcing me to confess to her as she said it was a heavy burden but I told her I'm fine with it as I also needed to tell it to someone I trust to lessen the burden and pain even a bit.

She listened to me and watched me cry, she became my shoulder to cry on while I was feeling so down. But she also immediately lifted the mood as she said she doesn't want to see me crying and suffering.

"But you said you fell asleep and you can't remember anything right after that, there might be a possibility that nothing happened. I guess" She said and shrugged.

"Well that's what I hope to, but my inner thigh was sore the morning I woke up, I was naked. What do you want me to think? That we just play naked and slept together and he just left the next morning? That he just ripped and ruined my tube and skirt for nothing?" I asked sarcastically, annoyance was visible in my voice.

I wasn't annoyed with her, what annoys me is going back to that moment, waking up in the morning without anyone in that empty room. Just full of bullshit!

"Fuck him!" I hissed.

Micca pursed her lips and slowly nodded as she got my point. I rolled my eyes in annoyance as my eyes landed on the other table two tables away from us.

There was a group of guys sitting there and one of them was watching us. Our eyes met and I was expecting him to look away but he didn't even move as he just fight a staring game with me.

I sighed and heaved a deep sigh, it was just making me feel angrier. I was the one who looked away. What am I expecting? That guy is the known womanizer in this whole university. It's obvious that he's trying to flirt with me but Nah, those won't work on me.

The great, Clyde Malcolm and his friends...

"Well yeah, you have a point. But can't you really remember the face of that guy? You were together for an hour, and if you two had intercourse. Then possibly you have seen his face" Micca said.

I looked at her. "I wish I do, I've tried already. I've tried remembering his face, but I just can't. My head aches every time I tried" I said and pulled my hair.

"Hey, hey! Don't hurt yourself. It's fine, just tell me the moment you remember his face again" She said.

I slowly looked at her. "Why?" I asked.

"Of course, I have to know! I'm telling you I'll be the first to break his eggs! How dare he!" She hissed. That made me laugh, at least I know there is one person I can rely upon on this.

I've been enduring it alone and now, knowing that I can talk with her about this matter, somehow lightens up the burden that I was feeling.
