Meet

Dim lights with loud music greeted him as he entered. Xavier looked around for a familiar figure. Suddenly Noah approached and whispered something to him, Noah's hand reached out to point at the very corner of this bar room.

Xavier nodded, he walked through the sea of ​​people who were engrossed in dancing. Lots of wild stares from the comfort women, but Xavier ignored them.

One of the women suddenly blocked his way, posing seductively while stroking Xavier's sensual chest. "Sir, I can accompany you tonight."

But Xavier just chuckled, he grabbed the woman's hand and pushed her away. Xavier looked indifferent even though the woman was cursing at him.

"Are you having fun?" Xavier asked when he reached a table. There was a man in front of him who was holding a woman.

"Xavier," the man said cheerfully, he immediately stood up, letting the woman in his lap topple over.

Xavier smiled, he immediately hugged his best friend's body. "Why didn't you call me, Scoot?" Xavier asked.

"I was planning to come after I recharged. You know, if I need a woman every night." Scoot chuckled, he told Xavier to sit down. Don't forget to also greet Noah, Xavier's confidant.

Scoot's eyes glanced at the woman who had accompanied him earlier. Understanding the code, the woman stood up, waving at her friend who was not busy. A few moments later, several women came to their table. Immediately sat down next to Xavier and Noah.

But Xavier didn't seem to like it, he snorted at Scoot in annoyance. "You know that, don't you? I don't like the company of women."

Scoot just chuckled, he took a sip of the glass of Red Wine in front of him. "I think that has changed."

Seeing the uncomfortable Xavier, Noah took the initiative to shoo the woman away. He even dragged the woman himself from near Xavier. Causing the woman to be angry because of Noah's attitude. She even cursed at Noah before leaving.

"You haven't changed either, Noah. Always knew what Xavier wanted," said Scott.

"I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult," Noah replied, glancing at Scoot.

The three of them laughed together for a moment before the atmosphere became awkward. Scoot seemed to be leaning on the sofa, his right hand stroking the thigh of the woman beside him. But his gaze was directed towards Xavier. "I didn't expect James to leave so soon."

"It's all my fault, I took James to that damn place," said Xavier a little sorry for what had happened.

"You don't have to blame yourself like this, it will surely make James regret it. Better think of a way to get revenge," Scoot advised.

"You're right." Xavier lit the cigarette in his hand, inhaled it, and exhaled the smoke. His thoughts were now on the woman in his house. It was this woman who deserved to be responsible for James' death.

"How's Grace, why isn't she trailing behind you?" asked Scoot who seemed to be sarcastic about Xavier. For some reason, he didn't like Xavier's lover.

"I don't know, she said she had worked out of town. It's been almost a month but she hasn't come back yet," answered Xavier nonchalantly.

"Wow, how does she like being away from you?" Scoot raised an eyebrow at Xavier's words. He chuckled a little, Noah in front of him also laughed.

"She's like Xavier's dog," Noah chimed in.

"Are you done mocking me?" Xavier looked annoyed at his two friends. But they don't seem to care about Xavier.

Since Scoot had just returned from overseas, they celebrated their meeting by talking late into the night. Tomorrow, Scoot promised to come to Xavier's place after he visited James' grave and visited James' family.

Xavier comes home alone tonight, Noah decides to stay at the bar with the girls. Don't ask about Scoot, he's following in Noah's footsteps too.

The silence of the night made Xavier think of his lover. He reached for the phone beside him, looking at the screen for a moment to find his lover's name. After that, he moved to call his girlfriend.

But already twice called, his lover did not answer. For some reason, Xavier felt something was wrong. His girlfriend rarely contacted him after saying goodbye to him a month ago. He would order Noah to investigate tomorrow. Xavier's heartfelt uneasy.
