Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Really Caring About Him 

We had barely stepped out of the room when he came to a halt. I gave him a confused look, thinking he had left something behind. “Forget something?” I asked. 

He took a moment, then said, “Just wait here. I have to use the restroom.” And with that, he headed off in totally the wrong direction. 

A few steps later, it hit me–he was probably plastered, because the restroom was nowhere near where he was heading. I sprinted after him to set him straight. 

I grabbed his arm, and he looked down at me, his face kind of blank. “What’s up?” 

“You’re going the wrong way,” I told him. “The restroom’s definitely not over there.” 

He seemed to snap back to reality, gave a slight nod, and muttered an ‘okay‘, before heading off again—still in the wrong direction. I was sure of it now. The guy was wasted! 

I steered him towards the restroom, and when we got to the door, I pointed to the men’s side, signaling for him to go ahead. 

He stood still, his gaze fixed on me. “Aren’t you coming with me?” 

I hesitated. 

After a brief silence, I shook my head. “I don’t want to go. You go ahead.” 

His handsome eyebrows creased just a bit. “Then I won’t go either.” 

I was taken aback. 

Trying to keep my cool, I reminded him, “Didn’t you want to use the bathroom?” 

He cast his eyes downward, as if debating with himself. After a long pause, he finally said in his usual tone, “Okay, then wait here for me. Don’t go anywhere.” 

I nodded and watched him walk away, wondering to myself if he was actually drunk or not. 

Standing outside the restroom, I drew curious looks from the passing crowd. To avoid the stares, I moved to wait in a nearby corridor. 

Lost in thought, staring at my shoes, I suddenly noticed two figures in front of me. Looking up, I saw Inch and Charlie. 

Inch broke the silence. “What are you doing here? Waiting for someone?” 

guys…

I nodded, my eyes shifting from him to Charlie, who sat in his wheelchair. “You 

“Just needed some air,” Charlie said, his voice muffled by the mask he wore along with a duckbill cap. I tried not to stare, but our eyes met briefly, and there was something captivating about his gaze, almost familiar, but I could not quite place it. 

I smiled and gestured toward the restroom. “I’m waiting for someone.” 

Inch smiled faintly. “Waiting by the restroom door? Is your friend drunk?” 

I hesitated for a moment before admitting, “Sort of.” 

As we made small talk, I began to worry. Idris had been in the restroom for quite some time. I

found myself glancing back at the door more often than not, but there was no sign of him. 

Noticing my concern, Charlie offered, “Do you need help?” 

I felt a little embarrassed but grateful. “Would you mind?” 

Charlie shot a quick glance at Inch, who turned to me and said, “You and Charlie stay here. I’ll check things out.” With that, he ducked into the restroom. 

Standing in the hallway, Charlie and I were practically strangers, and the silence between us was getting kind of awkward. I decided to break the ice, “Inch said you were in a car crash before. Was it bad?” 

I immediately realized how dumb the question sounded. The guy was in a wheelchair, so obviously it was bad. I was not exactly smooth with words, so I just blurted out what was on my mind. 

He did not seem upset, though. He just flashed a small, charming smile that made his eyes light up. “Could’ve been worse. I’m still here, aren’t I?”
