Jay-Jay's Pov
He only smirked, brushing the back of his neck like the whole thing was some sort of inside joke. The nerve of him—standing there, so casual, when I was one second away from exploding.
I folded my arms across my chest, settling into the silence as I waited for his answer. I came to understand that he would never grant me an answer.
"I'll give you a k-," just as I was about to complete my sentence, my phone began to ring. Random number..?? I decided to answer anyway.
[Hoyy Jay, its me!]
Who? Batman? Superman? Spiderman? Ironman? Ice cream man?
"Who?," I asked the man on the other end of the line.
[Clyde, wait Keifer haven't introduced me to you?]
Clyde-man?
I laughed awkwardly, " No, who are you again?,"
[I'm Clyde, Keifer's cousin]
I decided to distance myself from the flirty freak, making my way toward the living room.
"And what exactly is the purpose of this call?" I asked the man on the line—Clyde.
[There are countless things I need to share with you—especially about Keifer.]
"Don't worry, I already know everything about him, now bye,"
[Even the engagement?] he asked just as I was about the cut the call.
"W-what engagement?,"
[See, you don't know everything. I'll sent you a location, meet me there at tomorrow evening.] he said before ending the call. I saved his contact.
My phone vibrated.
📩From Clyde-man
[There you go, meet me there at the park tomorrow]
I sighed, I felt someone's presence behind me, I turned back kicking and punching the air. Better not be another ghost.
"Hoyy, chill," The flirty-demonic-freaky king said.
I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch. My phone rang again, WHAT NOW!? Wait.. Denzel? I answered it anyway.
[What's up Jay!]
"H-hey, why did you call?," I asked.
[Ahh... I have a happy news.]
"Nice, keep that happy news to yourself, I'm hanging up,"
[Hoy! I getting married!]
"WHAT!?" I shouted.
[Jay, chill.]
"Y-you're what!?"
[Getting married].
"W-when?"
[After we graduate].
"Nice.."
[Now pass this information to Keifer, I know I mean everyone knows that you're with him.]
I laughed awkwardly, "Haha, yeah sure, bye take care," I said before hanging up.
"Who was that?," Keifer asked me.
"Denzel," I replied with no emotion. Of course I'm mad, he has soo much to explain to me.
He nodded, "And.. why did you shout?,"
"Denzel is getting married to Grace," I replied.
"Nice- WAIT WHAT?!,"
"Yeah.. everything happened too fast," I said.
I went back to the kitchen to drink water, should I ask him about the engagement thing? Was he engaged or something else?!.. Let's just ask right now.
"Keifer,"
"Mhm?,"
"Were you ever bound by an engagement?" I asked.
He looked away, "Was it Clyde?," he asked.
"What?,"
"Was it Clyde who gave you that information?" he asked, looking at me.
I simply nodded.
"Yes, I was engaged to someone while I was in London," he said.
"Then why didn't you tell me?," I asked.
"I'm sorry," he apologized. "But, it was forced." He continued, "I'm sorry for not letting you know, I had already called it off."
Tears weld up in my eyes, he was engaged?...
