"I particularly asked you guys not to get caught until you were ready to reveal the truth to her. You guys are the ones who got caught so I don't think there is anything we need to talk about," Amos expressed as he returned his attention to the bottle of whiskey in front of him.
"Of course, you did mention that. But don't you think you are the one to be blamed for why she doesn't want to give me the chance to explain myself?" Audrey asked, her head held high.
"How can you blame me for...,"
"I am really desperate right now and as such I will not hesitate to cause a scene so if you don't want me to do that just please do as I say," Audrey decided to use the soft approach instead when her first option didn't work.
"Anna being upset with me is something I can't stand. You love her a lot too so I am sure you understand me better than anyone else. Let's help each other out hmm?" She added. Her once fierce expression turned gentle at that instance.
"You shouldn't have upset her in the first place if you hated seeing her...,"
"But you are the first one who made her upset so why on Earth are you lecturing me...,"
"Audrey!" Kyle tried to call her to order but the furious Audrey brushed his hand off her body.
"Don't think I will be scared of you because of your identity because that is a big day lie. If I could go against you even when you weren't who you are now that means I wouldn't hesitate to do that again if you dare as much as to hurt her," Audrey said while looking into Amos' eyes; something only a few people in the Kingdom have the guts to do.
"You should be aware that I never liked you for her in the past but I only let things slide after what you did because she is madly in love with you. But believe me, I will haunt you down irrespective of her who you are if you dare to hurt my best friend's feelings in any way...,"
"Between the two of us, who do you think cares more about her feelings and well-being?" Amos questioned, his fierce gaze settling on Audrey's face.
"You don't need me to spell out the answers to you right?" Amos added as he stood up from the couch with his hands stuck in his trouser's pockets.
"For someone who has been avoiding her, don't you think you have no right to say that to me huh?" Audrey refused to back down despite Kyle's attempt to make sure she didn't cross the line.
"If you know what your action has done to her then you wouldn't stand here and accuse me of the very thing you are doing to that poor girl," Audrey said a bit calmer.
There was momentary silence after her last sentence.
"If you guys have a misunderstanding then the right thing is to talk and sort things out. My mum always told me that there is no misunderstanding that can't get resolved as long as you talk things out with the other partner so...," Audrey let her words linger.
The once worried Kyle who was caught in between their argument was so relieved to see that their conversation had taken a different dimension.
"Instead of ignoring her and hurting her feelings in the process you should talk to her...,"
"This is between her and me. I will suggest that you mind your business. It's not like you always listened to me anytime you guys have a misunderstanding," Amos interrupted rudely.
"W-what... what did you just say?" Audrey was too surprised and mad to construct a sentence without stuttering.
"You heard me right," Amos replied, his expression stern.
He strolled out of there before Audrey could do anything.
"Hey, do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you in the face because of your identity?" Audrey yelled, her murderous glares shot at his moving back.
"Then I will prove to you today that you are wrong about that," Audrey stomped towards Amos who was pretending not to hear her.
Kyle stood up and grabbed her hand just in time, "He already had a lot on his plate so that is enough already...,"
"Let go of me," Audrey hissed. She tried to push his hand away but he refused to let go.
"And are you trying to say my best friend's feelings aren't important...,"
"I never said that...,"
"Then what were your words implying huh?" Audrey demanded. She was so ready to transfer her aggression to him if he dared to give a wrong reply.
"Let him leave the premises first and I will tell you why he is that way," Kyle suggested, his attention concentrated on the bubbling ground floor beneath them.
Audrey turned and shot him a suspicious look. She stared at him for close to two minutes without uttering a word.
"You better keep your word because I swear I won't let you off the hook if you go back on your words," Audrey gave in to what he wanted when his eyes didn't waver as she expected them to.
"I promise I won't brush it off this time by saying it's confidential," Kyle said seriously.
He held her hand and led the reluctant lady back to his table.
Audrey and Kyle sat there for five minutes without one talking to the other. The air surrounding them was tense and suffocating but Kyle tried his best to endure it.
"He is far gone so can we talk now?" Audrey finally broke off the awkward silence.
"Let's go," Kyle stood up and held her hand. He tried to pull her up but she didn't budge.
"Why?" She quizzed. "Is this perhaps another of your tactics not to tell me anything...,"
"Of course not. Since I have given you my word I won't go back on it. I am a man of my word," Kyle cut in softly.
