"Yo! I was wondering who are engaging in a public display of affection here. Edward and Daisy aren't here yet; isn't it too early to steal the spotlight?" Rain casually approached Duke and Belinda and teased them with his eyebrows raised. He was wearing a gray suit, exquisitely tailored.
Rain had been calling Annie ever since she disappeared after that night. He felt distressed when her family told him that she wanted to be left alone for a while. He finally stopped trying to track her down. He believed that Annie would come back to him if she really loved him! And he would wait patiently until she did. The earth is round. Even though they parted here and headed different ways, they would eventually meet again someday somewhere if they were meant to be together. If Annie didn't love him, there would be no point in finding her. We can't force people to love us. And there would only be endless sorrow and pain for people who were thrown together in a loveless relationship.
"What? Are you jealous?" Duke retorted sourly, rolling his eyes. 'What's wrong with him? Can't he see that I'm in the middle of a conversation with my wife? What's he doing here?' Duke was annoyed.
"Yes! I'm jealous to death! Okay, I'll leave you two alone and spread my charm over there. Go back to whatever you were doing." Rain put on a devil-may-care smile in front of everyone, but he was breaking down inside. It seemed every one of his friends had someone to love, someone who loved them, except for him!
"Fuck off! No wonder Annie left you! Look at yourself, fluttering around like a butterfly!" Duke was pissed. He was in the middle of something really romantic and intimate with Belinda. And Rain had ruined everything! How could they continue after being interrupted?
"Don't you know? I'm helping them out! Look at all those pretty girls. They'll wither without my love!" Rain folded his arms in front of his chest and leaned against the pillar. He wore his signature smirk; his amethyst ear studs flickered as he turned his head toward a gaggle of girls standing nearby. With the complete package, he looked dangerously irresistible. Almost every girl around forgot to breathe and could only stare blankly into his charming face.
"That's bullshit! You'll only hurt them in the end. Stop bragging, you jerk!" Belinda had realized that she and Duke drew too much attention; now that Rain joined the party and made things even worse! This man didn't know how to spell the word 'low-key' -- he only knew how to call attention to himself! Almost every woman's gaze was riveted where they stood.
"Belinda! You wound me! Hurt them? Nonsense! You should worry more about me. I'm the one who has to attend to the needs of all these lovely women!" Rain pretentiously brushed his hair with his fingers and winked at Belinda, who shuddered all over and wanted to throw up all of a sudden. No wonder they said Rain never played by the rules! They were arguing and he was suddenly being flirtatious? Belinda was in shock.
