SIXTY SIX“Wait” Lucian called after. I ignored his call as I hastened my steps but who was I kidding. I knew how fast he was. He grabbed my arm making me stop.“Hey, hey. Hey. Didn’t you hear me call you?” He asked with a frown.“Ahem_ sorry about that. I honestly did not hear you” I lied.“OK” he replied.Breaking the silence I asked “So why did you come after me?”“Yeah about that, I wanted to know why you decided to leave the table early”“Oh I’m sorry. I’m I supposed to leave last as part of my duty?” Mind you I was being very sarcastic. Why else did he want from me. Everything was already beginning to tire me.“No, no. not that Raina. I just thought you were upset” Now he sounded upset.“No I’m not. Why would you think that?” I asked.“Nothing” I gave me a ‘really’ look. Did I really think that I was going to fall for that?“Ok, fine. You leave the gathering whenever you get upset and sometimes you do not even say anything at all.” He defended.“True but I’m good” I lied again.
