Chapter 3

After a while, Kelly asked me to bring her some pajamas.

I brought over a set. As I pushed the door open, Kelly quickly put her phone down. She smiled at me, her face wet. "Thank you."

The door was closed again with a swoosh.

I did not leave.

A few seconds later, I heard sounds from inside.

Hayden laughed loudly. "Why are you acting like we're having an affair?"

Kelly responded, her voice a little lazy, "Don't you know how your good buddy is? He's so petty."

Hayden snorted and answered lewdly, "Hurry up and show me your abs! I've never seen a girl with them before."

Kelly feigned anger. "You pervert!"

...

I did not finish listening to the rest.

Kelly returned an hour later.

Her face was flushed, and her eyes gleamed like burning flames. It was obvious she was aroused.

Before I could turn the lights off, Kelly lunged at me.

I reached out my hand to block her, my tone indifferent. "We don't have condoms."

Kelly paused and blurted instinctively, "Hayden said it's okay during safe period."

I looked at her sharply, disgust in my eyes. "You even told him about our sex life?"

"No." Kelly immediately denied it, running a hand through her hair.

However, seeing my gaze, she knew I was not convinced. Her voice sounded a little odd as she said, "He's not a random stranger."

My gaze slowly fell on her face. Her voice, expression, and actions all made it clear who she really had on her mind.

I felt like I was the stranger in this relationship.

At this point, I could not bear to even share a bed with her. "Go sleep in the guest room."

Kelly was startled, somewhat in disbelief. "Just because of this? I came all this way to see you, yet you want me to sleep in the guest room?"

"So you came all this way just to have sex with me?"

Kelly stared at me quietly, clearly angry.

I felt like this was a good time to break up, so I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything, she slammed the door and left.

I shut my mouth, turned off the light, and went to bed.

I slept soundly. Greg had already sent me the plane tickets when I woke up, groggy.

Greg: [Tomorrow at noon. Don't be late.]

I replied affirmatively and got up to freshen up, but I heard a gasp from the bathroom as I opened the door.

I was stunned for a moment and tried to close it, but someone behind me was faster, slamming it shut before I could.

"Why didn't you knock before going in?" Kelly's voice was harsh.

For a moment, I really felt like an outsider. "Why is Hayden here?"

Kelly replied casually, "He missed you."

In the two years I had rented this place, he had never once visited, but he seemed to miss me now that Kelly was here.

I said nothing. Hayden came out, briefly greeted me, and plopped down at the dining table.

Kelly served him a cooked egg.

Hayden took a bite, and his eyes lit up. "You really know me well! You made the eggs runny, just like how I like them.”

Kelly snorted, clearly in a good mood. Then, she pushed another plate toward me. "Don't say I'm biased. I made one for you too."

However, my hand holding the fork just would not move. I never ate runny eggs.

After six years together, she still did not remember.

"Kelly, I need you to carry me later! I want to rank up!" Hayden kicked her.

"You're too much of a noob. I'm not carrying you!"

"Are you even my friend? You won't even help with something like this?" Hayden grew increasingly agitated, plopping down next to Kelly.

Their thighs were pressed tightly together.

Hayden was shirtless, revealing his well-defined abs.

Seeing Kelly blush slightly, he suddenly laughed, grabbed her hand, and pressed it against his body. "Since you cooked for me, I’ll let you feast on something too.”

Kelly's face instantly turned red. She quickly glanced at me and subtly backed away.

Nausea surged to my throat, and I put down my fork with a clink. I turned and said right to Hayden’s lewd display, "Didn't I tell you we're not friends anymore?"
