Chapter 6

• Ava p.o.v
• Waking up at 6am on a Saturday morning, with Tricia swearing and ranting on the phone, is not how I've planned my morning. I whine from every cursed word she utters, if she wasn't scary when angered, I would have hung up on her, but I don't want to get myself strangled to death at my early age.
• I don't know how I landed myself with such a talkative friend, I don't like loud people and I most definitely do not like noise. But at some point in life, I need to interact with all characteristics of people. Although I appreciate having her as a friend, she stood up for me many times but let's face it, she could talk a dead person to life.
• “Are you even listening.” Tricia grunted from the other side of the phone.
• I've blocked her out since she wasn't saying anything I would understand.
• “No.” I answered meekly, there's no need to lie. What if she asked me to repeat what she had said, then I wouldn't know how to answer to that. I hear her growl and I bet she's glaring at the phone since I'm not there, I roll my eyes.
• I won't blame me for blocking her out, She wasn't making any sense. But one thing is certain, she is stressed.
• “Bitch.” She murmured under her breath, not meaning for me to hear but I heard, I wanted to give a comeback but resisted not wanting to start our usual bickering.
• “Fucking bastard, he dragged me here and Lock me in his room, refusing to talk to me, it's driving me insane. Every time I tried starting a conversation, he would just glare at me then storm off to God knows where. I so fucking want to smack him upside down, He's hell-bent on driving me insane, I'm going fucking crazy.” She grits out yelling the last part.
• I can already picture her pulling her hair out, I rolled my eyes at her. You're already crazy, my dear friend, I thought to myself, you wouldn't say that out loud if you were me.
• “So you called me at six in the morning for this?” I should be having my beauty sleep, dreaming about my handsome prince charming and how he will sweep me off my feet, she already had her own.
• What? A girl can dream too, okay.
• “Focus Ava, I'm serious.” A scowl must be on her pretty face now, I don't have to see her to know that. “And you are supposed to be on my side, we should be mad at Dario together” Tricia yelled, I whined at her loud voice, taking the phone away from my ears.
• Why do we need to be angry at him, I didn't even know what happened?
• “For starters, I don't know what he did wrong” I defend myself. “So do you mind telling me everything from the start?”
• Silence followed, I can already feel her glaring daggers at me, but it's not my fault I don't know what happened.
• She inhaled deeply and released the air.
• “Okay.” Her voice was quiet, not like that of a few moments ago when she was screaming her lungs out, that's when I knew she was in the wrong.
• “Remember I told you I've talked about working with Dario, and he agreed?” She paused, to let me reply first.
• Yeah, of course, I remember vividly, she was thrilled that day, but I don't get what that got to do with this situation or else. I gasped when it finally clicked in my thick skull.
• “Don't tell me you lied.” I accused, she whines at my accusing tone but didn't comment on it.
• “Yeah.” She admitted, I blinked several times in shock, what the hell got into her. Why the hell did she go behind his back to work when she's quite aware he will be mad.
• No, I will say it again. I do not support relationships where the male is overly dominating, nor do I have anything against it either, but right now, she should have been the rational one and made them talk things out maturely.
• “It's not entirely my fault.” She defends, are you kidding that is what you have to say, I wanted to ask her but decided against it.
• “Whose fault it is.” I ask in a flat tone.
• “Dario.” I palmed the face myself, I should have known she would play the blame card on Dario.
• “He is being so stubborn, adamant, and arrogant. He won't even listen every time I mention it, so I have not a choice.” She rushed out defensively, I sighed defeated. I don't blame her, I would do the same if I were in her place, but still that didn't justify her actions.
• She should have known Dario well enough to know how to persuade him, besides going behind his back.
• “Ava are you still there.” Her worried voice called.
• “Yes.” I replied.
• “What do I do, he doesn't even want to talk to me.” She almost sobs, wow, this is the first time I'm seeing Tricia so weak and vulnerable.
• What do I say to her now, I'm no expert when it comes to relationships due to my lack of experience? Well, that's because I lack interest in having a boyfriend, which by the way is not an achievement, and most of them have no future whatsoever, so why waste my time in a relationship that is going nowhere.
• “I don't know, maybe you should sweet talk him.” It's lame, I know, but what do you expect from someone who still hasn't got her first kiss.
• She scoffed, well, thanks for making it obvious.
• “It won't work, he is giving me the silent treatment, remember?” Tricia groaned frustrated, I can feel your distress sister. I console inwardly, I would felt worse if I were in her place.
• I gasped as an idea struck me.
• “ What?” Tricia asked eagerly.
• “The art of seduction.”
• “What do you mean.” Tricia asked clearly confused, she can be dumb at the times when you need her to be smart.
• “Seduce him, you are skilled in that aspect, why not seduce your way out of the situation”
• “You think it will work.” She chirps, the grin could be heard in her voice, making a smile spread across my face.
• “I know so.”
• “Oh my gosh, you are a lifesaver. Why didn't I think of that, I love you from the depths of my heart, well, not as much as I love Dario though.” she laughs?
• Bitch, so much for killing the mood, without waiting for my reply she hanged up on me.
• I shook my head, typical Tricia.
