Queenie saw that I was irritated, so she sat up and asked me what happened. Before I could begin my rant, the door to the apartment flung wide open once more. Colin walked in with an air of nonchalance. The jealousy and grumpiness from before were all gone.

What? So he acted like a child before me, and when there were others around, he would act like a gentleman. How cunning! I was even more annoyed now.

Andrew went to the kitchen to prepare our food. Colin said no need for the hassle since he had already eaten. Then, he sat next to me like nothing had happened. Didn't he just give me the cold shoulder on our way back? It made me look like I was angry for no reason at all.

Oh, boy. Look at him. He really knew how to act like the victim. He should be an actor instead. I knew how to act mean too.

So, I approached Andrew and asked if it was okay that he didn't go to the office. He said that he took leave. Plus, he was a contracted worker. Since the school would reopen soon and he had assignments to do, he wondered if he should resign.

As he spoke, he gazed at Queenie as if he was trying to get a reaction from her. Queenie, however, sat quietly without showing any interest. She watched TV and did not react at all. Ignored, Andrew sighed in disappointment.

One was doing his hardest to impress the other while the other was pretending that she did not notice his feelings. There was a gap between them still, and they had a long way to go for their perfect love story. As the spectator, I was getting impatient for them.

We talked and watched TV until Queenie felt sleepy. She yawned as she went back to her room. I took out my phone and watched videos. I didn't want to return to my bedroom or look at the grouchy Colin. When I couldn't stay up anymore, I went to my room, showered, and went to bed. It was already 11:00 pm. Normally, I would've been asleep by this time. I came home an hour later than usual, so I felt very sleepy. I was still mad, so I ignored Colin, ducked under the sheet, and slept.

I didn't know how long I was asleep. Maybe not that long at all. I felt someone crawling into bed next to me. Then, a taut yet warm body touched my back, and a long arm reached under the blanket to hug my waist. I was wedged between two arms.

Even though I was half asleep, I still remembered that I was supposed to be pissed. I didn't want Colin's touch, so I thrashed to break free. He tightened his arms and rested his head on my shoulder. Then, he blew on my ears and cooed, "I'm jealous, okay? Don't hang out with Winston. I don't like it."

I was very sleepy. I heard him, but I was too tired to talk to him. Within a second, I fell back asleep.

I slept soundly. At 6:00 am, I opened my eyes. A handsome, smiling face with two burning eyes greeted me with an intense gaze.

"Are you still mad at me? Come on. Don't be petty. My girlfriend wanted to have dinner with another man, and I threw a tantrum out of jealousy. Shouldn't you say something to console me? Why are you angrier than me? That's not fair."

"Me? Petty? Who are you calling petty now?"

And not fair too? How could he say that?

I was so angry that I wanted to slap him. But he seized my hand and placed it against his abs. Then, he pulled it downward.
