Chapter 85 - Eighty-Five : The Couples
Maya's POV
My eyes moved towards the direction of the door and rested on the figure strutting into the washroom and I rolled my eyes, here we go.
I turned on the faucet and began to wash my hands slowly, hoping and praying to God that she'll be done soon and leave me the hell alone this time.
Tina stood in front of the sink and began to check her appearance through the large rectangle wall mirror . She brought out a lipstick from her clutch purse and began to reapply it on her already red lips.
I sighed inwardly and tore a piece of tissue from the toilet paper dispenser and dried my hands before tossing it into the open bin.
I guess I can't hide away in the restroom anymore, it was time to return to the party - fat thanks to Tina for destroying my alone time with my thoughts.
I grumbled inwardly, just when I decide to take a mental break. With nothing else to do, I
turned to leave and just as expected, Tina began " Your dress looks nice "
With a bored expression, I turned back to face her "Thanks. Anything else? "
"Your dress is simple yet classic and eye-catching, Niklaus has always had an eye for fashion " She said all this while fixing the make-up on her face and staring at me through the mirror.
"But then " she went on " Niklaus prefers bold, wild and exploring styles " She said, washed her hand and walked towards me before reaching out and tearing off some pieces of tissue from the dispenser behind me.
"What's your point then? " I asked her with my arms folded across my chest while she dried her wet hands with this nonchalant expression on her face.
Tina lifted her head " The point is he prefers bad girls to sweet, innocent, and sly golddiggers who don't know where they belong " she emphasized , dumped the toilet paper on the ground instead of the bin and stepped on it with her heel.
I laughed, a long, hysterical that made her brows raise as she asked in bewilderment,
"What is so funny? "
I laughed " Since he loves girls who like to flash their private parts in public, don't you think it's a great change and a bad one for you since he suddenly switched to the sweet, good, innocent, type?"
Tina eyes flashed " I never exposed my private part in public! "
I snorted " Incase you did not read my lips well, but I never mentioned a name." I reminded her " So if you're feeling guilty ? not my cup of tea and I'll you reminded incase you've forgotten that private or intimate parts for females include the vulva, vagina, buttocks , anus, mons pubis and breasts "
I stepped closer and intentionally stared down at her breast which looked two times bigger than mine. Nah, I bet she had an implant, there is no way those boobs were natural and I'm not saying that because I'm jealous - note my word.
I went on " I'll have you know that the female breasts are considered as parts that should be covered in most contexts and intentional exposure of one's intimate parts is a form of exhibitionism"
I informed her while she had this shocked look of disbelief on her face and I summarized with a fake sweet smile " That would be all for now Miss Tina and I hope you learnt a lot from my lessons "
Flashing her a victorious smirk this time, I turned to leave when I felt someone tug my hair so tight it hurt.
"Ouch! " I exclaimed and grabbed her hand on my hair " What do you think you're doing?! "
"You think you're so smart, huh ? " She spat with hatred "But by the time I'm done with you, you will regret ever messing with me "
Tina made her intentions known and increased her grasp on my hair, so tight that a tears slipped down my face ; I was sure I've lost a few strands already.
Infuriated, I took both of my hands and grabbed Tina's hand clutching my hair, held it steady and somehow twisted my body to face her before bringing up my knees to her stomach.
Tina yelped in pain the moment I kneeled her, released her grasp on my hair and took a step back, almost stumbling in the process.
"I might not be a rich bitch like you with bodyguards at her beck and calls but I'm definitely a black belt holder "
"Y-you ! " She raged " I'll sue you for this! " she threatened me and I scoffed derisively.
I pursed my lips and shrugged my shoulders
"Sure go on but you have forgotten that your DNA is on my hair already, let's see who would win in the court of law" I countered her threat
"Speaking of which, I should be the one filing for assault, you attacked me first ! But then you can go ahead, I give you my permission and I'm not afraid cause I've got evidence already ; it's just an act of self-defense "
I flicked an invisible dust off my finger and continued, "Moreover, I've got Niklaus on my side already and you of all people should know how stubborn he is when he sets his mind on something " came my shameless boast which had Tina tongue-tied.
" Y-you " She choked while pointing at me and the other one clutching her stomach.
But Tina began to take backward steps when she saw me closing in on her menacingly. This predator and prey game continued until her back hit the wall.
Her lips were trembling and expression pale, it was obvious she was scared of me cause it seems our Ice queen Tina is scared of physical pain and probably thinks of me as a gangster already - how nice - but I love it.
I planted both hands down on the wall beside her, making sure to cut all forms of escape and felt her tremble , then I bent my head and whispered into her ears,
" The next time you come at it, do it face to face, don't launch an attack from the back like a coward - " A footstep interrupted me and I turned to look at the intruder.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you both. Just go back to what you were doing, I'll pretend like I didn't see anything " The lady apologised and hurried into one of the toilet cabinet.
I scoffed in disbelief but I didn't blame the woman anyway . With my body pressed against Tina's, our position was ambiguous and could - no scratch that - would sent wrong ideas.
"See " I told Tina and tucked back a stray curl of her blonde hair to the back of her ear while she stared at me wide-eyed shocked. " Nobody believes I bullied you, they think we're a couple "
Then I pulled away and strode out of the restroom with my racey heart, what in the name of Christ did I just do?
And for the record, I'm straight.
