The dream couple that was my parents always did this. They never cared if I'd get jealous or not—they acted all lovey-dovey in front of me.
And they had become even bolder after I moved out for my studies. They flaunted their love life at me, and whenever they called me, they appeared together. They were like two middle-aged lovebirds, and I was just the third wheel. The focus was on them, not their dearest daughter.
Colin finally came out from the shower. Noticing that I was lying on the bed with a sulk, he walked toward me, sat down, and dried his hair. Then, he asked what happened and why I had a long face.
Why else? My parents, of course. But I was too mad and embarrassed to tell him.
"Nothing. I'm going to take a shower now." I went to the bathroom glumly. Once I was done and dried my hair, Colin was already in bed. All lights in the bedroom had been switched off except for the mellow bed lamps. I hung the towel, climbed onto the bed, and tucked myself in.
"Tomorrow—" Colin wanted to tell me something, but his speech was interrupted by an untimely notification. It came from his phone. Colin frowned out of frustration. He glanced at his phone, which was next to me.
I was annoyed and vexed. Only one person would text Colin this late at night—Jasmine, who was royally ignored just now.
"What did she send me?" asked Colin.
I tossed and turned my back against him. "Read it yourself."
Urgh, Colin just kept charming people here and there. I couldn't even sleep properly. How irritating. As someone easygoing, I had never given him the cold shoulder or rejected him outright.
