His phone lit up and Bella’s call came in again. His hand left my shoulder as he immediately picked call and that was my cue to leave.

I stepped out of the car. Through the car’s winded down mirror, I saw him trap the phone between his ear and shoulder and simultaneously inserted the key in the ignition.

A few seconds later, he dropped his phone and faced me, his hands were already gripping the steering wheel, ready to zoom off to his lover.

“This Sunday is your father’s birthday party. Wait for me at home, we’ll leave together!” He finished. Then he wound up his mirror and sped off.

I watched in annoyance, irritation and disgust as his car swiftly disappeared into the dark of the night.

“Hmm…” I murmured.

Then she chirped, an hopeful rise to her tone, “But it doesn’t matter. I asked the bartender about him and he said the guy owns this bar so we’ll definitely see him if we frequent here.”
