Tricia visibly enjoyed the man's touch and felt assured by his words.
"It's alright. We can wait until after graduation. With all the suffering she's causing us, she can at least help us with our research paper. Humph," Tricia said. "That four-eyed nerd believes everything we say anyway. She's indeed academically smart and has a high IQ, but she's an idiot in everything else."
"Ah, right. Hahaha," Tom chuckled.
They were so absorbed in each other that the two guests were beyond their notice.
Tom sat up to change positions, and Lillian and Denise then saw his face.
It was indeed Tom! There was no denying it anymore.
Everything Lillian was holding fell to the floor as she saw Tom's face, confirming that Tricia and Tom had indeed betrayed her! Someone who called herself her best friend and her boyfriend, who said he would only love her and only her, betrayed her!
Realization hit Lillian hard as it dawned on her that she was the shabby, boring, stoic, and doll-like nerd they were referring to. To them, she did not even have a name. She was simply the four-eyed nerd.
The world seemed to fall apart, and Lillian felt like she was suffocating as the tears she tried to hold back still fell. It was as if something inside her broke, never to be whole again.
How could people who laughed and smiled with her talk like this behind her back and betray her to this extent? Lillian did not understand how they could stomach doing this.
Lillian thought everything they had was true, but with this revelation, it seems all of it was fake.
Tricia's voice, when she referred to her as the shabby nerd or as a strong, independent girl, was dripping with venom. Especially when she said Lillian was a pain and the cause of their suffering. Tricia's voice was filled with hatred and contempt.
Meanwhile, Tom's voice was filled with ridicule and mockery as he said he only pitied her, which was why he dated her.
To the two, Lillian was even the cause of their suffering and pain, even when they were the ones cheating on her.
For them, she was the one in the way of their relationship, not the other way around, even when she was the true victim here.
And they had just agreed to use her to help them finish their research paper so they could graduate in a breeze. So this was what she was to them, just a four-eyed nerd who was easy to manipulate to their bidding?
Why? They were all nice and friendly in front of her. They were all getting along so well. What the hell is this? This must be a nightmare!
Lillian did not want to believe all of it.
"Kyah!!" Tricia screamed. She had turned around and saw them after hearing the thud of the gifts and bouquet hit the floor.
"What are you two doing here?!" Tom screamed wide-eyed, quickly pulling the sheets to cover his and Tricia's nakedness.
Their expressions were of those who were caught in the act because they were indeed!
"Hahaha!!!" Lillian laughed mirthlessly while tears streamed down her cheeks. The pain was too much that she felt like she had to laugh or she would explode into a million pieces from all the emotions welling up inside her. "More like, what are you doing here? Dear boyfriend, what are you doing on my best friend's bed? Why are you naked? Why were you inside her? Hm?"
"I..." Tom, looked away.
"What? Are you going to say you were just here to give her a gift? What kind of gift? That small eggplant hanging between your legs?" Denise pointed out how crazy this situation was. That they were already caught red-handed, so they should not try to make illogical and unbelievable reasons.
"You!" Tom was insulted by Denise's words.
"You think you have the right to get angry here? Slow much? You still don't understand what we are doing here? We are here to surprise our dear friend since it's her birthday. We were worried she might be lonely. But how could she be when my boyfriend is here, keeping her company and giving her pleasure? Hm?" Lillian could not help but speak sarcastically and mock them, too, hoping to at least return even a tiny bit of the suffocating pain she was feeling.
"Disgusting cheaters! How could you do this to Lillian?! We trusted both of you! Aren't we all friends?! How could you do something this vile?!" Denise screamed at the two.
"This is a mistake... We just got tempted because we felt lonely. You two were always so busy, I thought you completely forgot about my birthday. I just felt so lonely," Tricia cried as if she were the victim here. Her tears came so easily, as if she were so used to crying when she needed to.
"Wow. You felt lonely, so you f*ck my boyfriend? So every time you feel lonely, you are going to f*ck with him. Were all the times you did it because you felt lonely? You were wildly shaking your hips just now. You think we're idiots?" Lillian asked, her head and chest both throbbing in pain. She felt like she might pass out.
"This is the first time. We made a mistake," Tom quickly followed up with Tricia's words.
"You think we were born yesterday? We heard the two of you talking. This was not the first time. You have done this a lot of times, and you both enjoyed it the whole time! If every lonely girl f*cked her friend's boyfriend and every lonely boyfriend f*cks his girlfriend's friend, then this world better be ending soon," Denise said in fury at how shameless the two were being.
"I'm so sorry. I was so lonely that I must have lost my mind. Lillian, please, we are friends, right? Please forgive me. I didn't mean to do this," Tricia kept crying like she was the one who was pitiful and in the most pain here.
"If you were lonely, there were so many men out there if you wanted one to comfort you. Yet, you chose Tom to sleep with instead? Do you think this is the ancient times and this is Tom's harem where he can f*ck you while dating me and we'd still be friends?! And you were referring to me as the shabby nerd earlier. Now you dare call yourself my friend after everything you've said and done?" Lillian said in disbelief, her tears making her eyes blurry, her hands shaking.
How could someone be this shameless? This is the peak of shamelessness!
