Chapter 2_ Worst than a friend

As Patrick went inside to get them some drinks, Patrick went to his bedroom first, to wear a singlet top and to cover up his bare chest, as he assumed probably that was why Tina didn't want to stare at him or speak to him either.

Patrick wore his singlet top first, then stepped out of his bedroom and went to his kitchen fridge to get them some drinks. As he returned to his parlor, he served them the drinks, but he noticed that Tina was no longer there. Instead, only Prisca sat on his parlor's blue couch, stretching her long, slender legs seductively as she stared at him as he approached.

Patrick frowned as he approached Prisca, who was staring at him seductively. She smiled and dropped her legs from the couch. She stood up and walked up to him to collect the two cans of drinks from his hand, and Patrick immediately asked Prisca, "Where's your friend Tina? Has she gone home?"

"No.. I don't think so. Prisca replied, "Tina went outside to wait for me because she didn't feel comfortable sitting here with me." She then took the two cold can drinks from Patrick's hands and said to him, "I have told you, Patrick, to forget about my friend Tina." Tina dislikes socializing with men, yet you continue to show interest in her instead of me. Despite having expressed my deepest affection for you, you continue to prioritize Tina over me. What does Tina have that I do not also have? Check me out now; I'm cute."

Prisca, a brown-skinned lady, swirled around for Patrick to properly examine her bodily shape and beauty. Patrick sighed and said to her, "Look, Prisca, I do not love you, and that's the truth." I love Tina, and I have always been looking for a way to meet with her. Remember, I also asked you to try bringing Tina here, as I truly value our friendship. I'm aware that you've been dating several of my friends without my knowledge, but I remained silent about it because my main goal was to meet Tina. Please try and understand me."

Prisca frowned, and she said, "Tina won't accept you, Patrick, and that's not why I asked her to follow me here. "I truly love you, Patrick. Please."

Prisca attempted to persuade Patrick once more and attempted to touch him by the hand, oblivious to Tina's presence. However, Patrick declined and responded, "Fine. I will think about it later, but not now. "Let me first know what Tina is doing outside before she gets lost, disappears, or strolls off the street, as she won't know her way back home to your village."

Prisca sighed and finally moved away to allow Patrick to pass. As she walked back to sit on the couch, she was still holding the two cans of drinks that she had collected from him.

Prisca popped opened one of the two can drinks, and she drank from it, while waiting for Sharon to arrived, as they had something important to discussed about, and just as Patrick approached his parlour exit door to pulled it opened and to stepped out, just then, Sharon arrived from her variants outing, with her two best friends, and she smiled to Patrick sweetly as she stepped into the living room with two of her friends, and as Sharon wanted to greeted Patrick, Patrick immediately dashed out from the house and went out searching for Tina, and leaving Sharon and her two best friends speechless, as he went outside, and he finally saw Tina, where she stood beside his house exit gate, and she was speaking to his security gate guard that was standing there.

Patrick calmly approached Tina, who was standing beside the gate, and asked her, "Why are you standing out here all alone?"

Tina gazed back at Patrick, ignoring his response as she wrapped her arms around her chest. Without uttering a word, she directed her gaze towards the slightly opened exit gate, where Sharon and her two closest friends had already arrived.

Tina's attitudes clearly irritated Patrick, but he calmed down and walked closer to meet her, touching her folded arms around her chest. This startled Tina, who stared at him in shock and glared at him for touching her arms.

Tina let go of her folded arms and gazed at the slightly ajar gate. She wanted to run out, but Patrick immediately caught her, and he pulled her back to his masculine body. As he saw Tina stare at the gate, he quickly knew that her intention was to run out.

"Let go of me!" Tina let out a scream, clearly irritated by the way Patrick was touching her. As he pulled her closer to his masculine body, it sent shivers down her spine, a sensation she had never experienced with a guy before.

Patrick saw that Tina was indeed cute and beautiful, but she was also stubborn, as she struggled to get her release from his tightly gripped hand.

Tina screamed out, "Prisca!!" But Prisca was still inside the house, and she couldn't hear Tina screaming.

When Patrick's gate guard saw them, he didn't interfere and quickly returned to his gate house after locking the gate. Patrick was still holding Tina as he inhaled her sweet blossom scent, and he felt compelled to kiss her on her natural pink lips, as he hadn't yet released her.

Tina calmed as she felt her heart beating erratically in her chest from the way Patrick held her by her arms, her body touching his chest. Patrick was still wearing his yellow singlet top and blue shorts, while Tina was dressed in a brown short gown.

Patrick said to Tina, "I know that you're not happy about visiting here with your friend, but that's not why you should be behaving rudely and not respecting your seniors, just because I admire you."

Tina gulped as Patrick spoke to her left ear, and his hot breath fanned the crook of her neck, making her have more goosebumps. Tina said, "Let me go."

Patrick lost all sanity as he inhaled Tina's sweet blossom scent, and he felt the urge to kiss her deeply. However, he controlled his arousal as he could feel a bulge forming in his shorts. He replied to her, "Fine, I will let you go, but that's if you calm down at least and give me a little audience." Why are you acting so immature? Ain't you a big girl? Or is this how you truly behave? Honestly, I really do like you, and I want us to be friends."

"Friends?" Tina asked him as she stared up at Patrick's face and met his dark, handsome gaze on her. She saw that Patrick was truly handsome as she gulped. She looked away shyly before responding, "Well, I'm sorry, but I cannot be your friend." Aside from that, aren't you and Prisca friends? Just leave me alone and let go of myself."

Tina became increasingly agitated, cursing the reason she had followed Prisca to his house in the first place. Recognizing Prisca's friendliness, Patrick finally released her arms and apologized to her.

"Sorry for what?" Tina asked Patrick as she stared at him again, but he responded with a smile, moving away from her. "Fine, but why not wait inside for Prisca to be through since Sharon has already arrived and the sun is too hot now for you to be standing out here alone?" he said.

Patrick turned to walk back into his house, and Tina contemplated his response to her. Finally, she followed him into the house from behind, admiring his masculine physique.

At that moment, the sun began to set and the clouds started to gather, resembling the imminent arrival of heavy rainfall, while a strong wind whipped a chilling breeze through the air. Tina got worried about the sudden change of weather, and she immediately said to Prisca, as she stepped into the parlor, "Prisca, let us start going home."

Prisca, evidently jealous of Patrick's pursuit of Tina, chose not to respond to Tina. Patrick had already returned to the kitchen, while Sharon and her two best friends were engaged in a discussion.

Tina became enraged, aware that her mother would soon return home and that her two brothers might also be searching for her. She yelled at Prisca, "What's wrong with you, Prisca? Come on, let's head home immediately!

Prisca sighed, and she finally stood up from the blue couch. She replied to Tina, "I'm not yet going home."

"Why?" Tina asked Prisca, surprised, but Prisca didn't reply as she adjusted her black gown. Tina said, "Okay, if you're not going home yet, at least you can help me with the transport fare, or you can tell me the directions for me to start going back to my house."

Prisca hissed and walked away from Tina, not responding as she approached the corridor to use the restroom. Tina immediately pulled Prisca back by her arm and asked, "What's wrong with you, Prisca?" "You brought me here, and now you're not saying anything about how we should be going back home?"

Prisca yelled at her, "Just stop it, Tina! Stop it immediately! Yes! I brought you here as a friend, not for you to act out or try to break my friendship with Sharon and her brother. If you wish to leave, please do so! "Don't talk to me again."

Tina's jaw dropped as Prisca, instead of pushing her aside, walked away to use the restroom, leaving Tina speechless and standing just beside the corridor.
