.....‘’I can’t
believe you slapped me because of him?, you slapped me Lydia?’’ Harry screamed
with disbelief as he took a step backwards.
‘’yes
that’s for being disrespectful and insensitive. You had no reason to question Jeff
over anything’’ she shouted at him.
‘’you
don’t respect me Lydia. You never cared for my feelings. You are always right
in everything. You don’t make mistakes. You even came to my own birthday party
with your new boyfriend without any atom of respect for me. You are so
despicable’’ he screamed back at her while Lydia tried hitting him again but
was timely held back by the two ladies with her and of course they were having
a hard time holding her back.
‘’I don’t
owe you explanation for anything. You are not my boyfriend. Just go to hell’’
she screamed furiously.
‘’you see
that. I can’t believe you have the mind to say what you just said. What haven’t
I done for you?, Is there any sacrifice I haven’t made for you?. You are very
heartless, and you....
even called me insensitive’’ Harry fired back with a softer
tone. It was just as if he was about to cry.
‘’go to
hell Harry. Let’s get out of here Jeff’’ Lydia breathed furiously, broke away
from the girls holding her, and headed towards the hotel car park. Yes I won’t
lie that I wasn’t surprised over the way Lydia reacted. She really took things
too far but I wasn’t in any position to interfere. All I did was just to run
after her as she headed towards the car park.
‘’come on
Lydia, aren’t you over reacting?, don’t spoil your mood because of me. I’m very
fine. I’m used to taking insults from people’’ I nervously begged as I caught
up with her but unfortunately her mind was already made up. It was just as if
she got the perfect excuse to leave the party. Yes that could only be the
perfect explanation for her action.
‘’just
take me home Jeff, or I will have to trek home on my own’’ she threatened
seriously.
‘’oh fine,
let’s go’’ I breathed and quickly headed to the driver’s seat.
As we
silently headed home, I couldn’t help but play back the events of the evening
over and over in my head. Lydia surely over reacted and I couldn’t help but
wonder what was going through her head.
She said
nothing to me till we got back to the house.
‘’Jeff you
really think I over reacted?’’ she asked as soon as I killed the car engine. I
silently stared at her for some seconds, saying nothing.
‘’come on
Jeff answer me?’’ she pushed on.
‘’yes but
I believe you were only trying to protect me and I’m very grateful’’ I answered
guardedly. She kept quiet for few seconds.
‘’I don’t
know if I will be able to sleep tonight. I feel bad. I shouldn’t have slapped
him. I stepped out of the line. I feel bad’’ she confessed while I stared at
her, uncertain of what to say.
‘’let’s
have few drinks in my room. I think that will calm me’’ she proposed softy,
took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. I had no choice than to follow
her to the room.
On getting
to her bedroom, she asked me to feel comfortable on her bed as she brought over
a bottle of alcoholic drink. She sat beside me on the bed, smiling as she tried
hard to appear composed. We silently drank for few minutes.
