Chapter 66 Awkward introduction
Chapter 66 Awkward introduction
"I just wanted to Apologize for my behavior, it was uncalled for so...Yeah I'm sorry, " Maya
apologized, she sounded too broken and genuine for Rachel to think she was daydreaming leaving
both of them in shock.
"I know this is strange and you expected me to be at home fuming and sulking and throwing a fuss
later but I'm done with all that, I just want to have fun tonight with my best friend, that's all," Maya
begged.
Rachel looked at Yandel again and see could see convincion in his eyes, of course he was going
to be convinced, this was his childhood friend who he spent all his life with being friends. But she had
to admit, it all felt weird, some hours ago, she was spitting venom and slanders on tbeir faces and
kissing someone elses boyfriend and not she's suddenly sorry for being a class A asshole and wants to
enjoy her night with her best friend.
But then she never really got to know her as a person and she was intertwined with the person she
has been obsessed with since they were kids, giving her a benefit of doubt, she decided to give them
some space to talk to each other. She opened the door and was about to go out when Yandel held onto
her hands.
"Hey, Where are you going?...I thought we were going in together??," Yandel said, pouting his lips
at her.
"Stop it, I told you it's not cute," Rachel slapped his hands off her.
"Come on, wait for me" Yandel begged.
"I'm not going in now, just going to meet up with Amy and the others and besides, you guys need
some time to talk to each other, it's clear that there are some uncleared grounds between you both,"
Rachel said, she leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek while she kept eye contact with Maya, She
just smiled sweetly at her with a cunning look lingering in her eyes. She knew at that very moment she
had to be weary of Maya, the bitch was up to no good.
"Alright,"
"Wait for me...please" Yandel kissed her hands before letting her go. He watched her exit the door
and wave at both of them before blowing a kiss his way, he felt his heart pick up in beat, looking into his
rear mirror, he saw a sheepish smile on his face.
"What is this girl doing to me…" Yandel muttered to himself before coming down from his car and
locking it with the key remote in his hands.
"Uhm...Hi" Maya said, smiling nervously.
She really needed him to believe her.
"Hey…" Yandel replied, pulling her close and hugging her, he just wanted his strong and beautiful
childhood friend back, the one who defended him all the time and the one who took care of his kid
brother and sister when he was away.
"So wanna go inside, You know the paparazzi are going to be all over you this evening," Yandel
teased her as they held hands. Maya couldn't believe he just forgave her on the spot after all she had
done but then that was what was expected of him, he was always forgiving with people he loved and
cherished.
"Oh you are such a tease," Maya said leaning into him briefly before going back to her standing
position, she couldn't deny it felt really good, she was so pissed she couldn't have that forever.
"So why don't we go meet my friends," Yandel suggested, walking away from his car towards
where Araceli stood gorgeously beside Amy and Ricky, they seemed to be in a deep conversation that
they didn't even notice him coming their way, he turned back half way through realizing that Maya
wasn't following him, he walked back to her and saw that she was nervous staring at them from afar.
"Hey, It's okay, If you come to apologize, they would forgive you trust me," Yandel said, tugging her
hands towards their direction but she didn't borge, she remained where she was standing looking
reluctant.
"Come on Maya, I would be there with you, it would be better to clear any element of bad blood so
you don't have to worry about that, we are all friends here," Yandel convinced her but she didn't seem
convinced, staying adamantly where she was, making peace with Yandel and pretending to be at
peace with Araceli was her goal.
There was something the muslims used to say like "If Muhammad (SAW) doesn't go to the
mountain, the mountain was gonna come to him". Well her mountain was coming towards her in the
form of four people, even though it was evening, it was still bright a bit and she could totally make out
the hate on one of the two guys face which she guessed was the boyfriend of the guy she kissed out of
one of her manics.
"Great…" Maya muttered to herself as she emotionally prepared herself for their drama, she might
sound ridiculous saying she hated unnecessary drama but she was kidding, she hated the drama, the
unnecessary drama, the having to apologize to people she didn't give two shits about, so she got in
character, the sooner she became more visibly sorry, the faster she gets to get rid of them.
"Hey Araceli…" Maya greeted, she knows she had already seen through her act so there was no
use being nice with her. She really would love to break Araceli and make her regret eating from
exclusive plates.
"Hey Maya...Don't you think you owe some people an apology," Rachel gave a bored look without
hinting who it was, no one needed to point out Ricky fuming on the side with Ben putting his hands on
his shoulder.
"She thinks she's such a smart planet," Maya thought to herself as she was getting there.
She knew people like Araceli, they thought they were the hero of the day, always loved to prove
they were smart or could make people feel better interceding for people they knew nothing about other
than what they have been told. Her mom was a very good example of an Araceli, where the hell is she
now...In fucking jail!!!.
She went to jail for a man who didn't give two shits about her, yet she was rotting there for the next
twenty five years, she did visit her once after which she sent her away to never see her again. She
gave her one advice.
"Fuck up anyone who attempts to fuck you up," it was a statement that lived with her for all her life
till this very moment and it influenced her every action. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
"I'm so sorry for kissing you and I'm so sorry for kissing your man, I don't know what I was thinking
and I promise nothing is going to bring us to sure a situation ever again," Maya begged.
"Alright, We forgive…" Ben atarted before he got interrupted by a very impatient and angry Ricky.
"Bitch, do you really think I don't see through your pitiful act you fucking serpent low ass cun…"
Ricky exploded, throwing every single profanity in the books that he could grab, he always imagined
what it would be like when he finds out that Ben cheated on him, call him dramatic or over thinking but
he did his emotional preparation in any relationship of any kind he was in.
"Babe!!!...We are forgiving for peace to reign," Ben cut his ranting off because he said any more
profanity that people could handle.
"Alright...whatever whatever, can we just go for the event, it's getting late," Ricky said.
"Has Xander called you yet since you are his date?," Maya asked, holding onto Yandel's forearm
as they started walking towards the entrance. She just wanted to make Araceli lose her cool too and
make a mess up so Yandel could see she was not the perfect being that didn't make mistakes, that like
any other average human out there, she could make mistakes and go out of character or run outt of
composure.
"Oh yeah, he has dear, he is supposed to be up in front," Rachel said in a sweet voice that scarred
the permanent smile that she was sure was now hurting her cheeks.
"Oh there he is…" Rachel said forcing herself to look at him with a smile and kissed his cheek.
"Hey honey…" Rachel said, with faux excitement.
"Hey love, you….Uhm…. you ready?," Xander stammered, the fake love she was showing to him
took him by surprise, he was ready for her bitter conversation but seems like was over that faster than
he thought it would take her.
"Babe, I want to introduce you to my friends," Rachel said in a cherry tone.
"Babe...I don't really have that kind of time right now, I got guests and Red carpet pictures,"
Xander gave excuses so he could escape the awkward show down Araceli was trying to display.
"Oh come on babe, it's just a meet and greet, just my friends, they have heard alot about you."
Rachel said kissing his cheeks as a form of reassurance.
"Ok fine, let's be quick" Xander said, throwing head away and sighed, only God knows what she
wanted from him now.
"Ok ok, this is Maya Harvey, harvy yeah??...ok Maya Harvey, she is Yandel's date tonight for the
occasion," Rachel focused on the fact she was only his for the night which made her boil within but
couldn't really say it out.
"Next we have Amy, you can call her like a sister, but she's an asshole and she really good with
styling, she picked out my outfit too," Rachel said, hugging Araceli.
"Next we have Ricky, he's the quite one with dramatic tendencies," Rachel summerized it for him.
"Then this is Ben, Ben is Ricky's boyfriend, they have been together for months and young strong
every day," Rachel said, searching his face for a hint of disgust in his face.
"Omg...babe are you homophobic?!!"
"You looked a bit uncomfortable after I mentioned they eat each other's ass, I hope you are okay
with them because if not, we might have to just go," Rachel said, faking being hurt on their behalf.
None of them got what was going on right now, not even Amy, who was stalling.
"And finally, my baby, Yandel Anderson Baldwin, he's my business partner and close friend, we
hang out in cinemas just two of us alone in the evenings, really chilled while you are always very busy
with work to make a five minute journey," Rachel laughed, but she knew the havoc she had just
caused, she was well aware that Xander didn't like Yandel and it wasn't even because of her, she later
got to find out it was between their families. Yandel was choking on saliva in his own lungs, Maya
looked dumbfounded because she was still processing the fact that I told that Yandel was my baby.
Amy, Ricky and Ben were all looking for where their jaws dropped.
"What the hell do you mean by that?," Xander said, unlacing her arms away from his amd she felt
a heavy sigh of relief hit her chest first. Being close to him was starting to irritate her badly.
"Oh come on, Don't make it sound like a big deal, we just hanged out and talked about business a
few times and just had fun and got to know alot about each other by actually spending time with him,"
Rachel said it like she was just figuring it out.
"What were you guys doing…"
"Or should we have met in one of my hotels, maybe that would have been better for you, don't you
think?," Rachel interrupted him as she readjusted the fur on her shoulders.
"What…"
"We should head to the carpet now, let's make an appearance and make most lf the night honey,"
"Just make sure you are not to busy with work and incase you get too busy, please get some
candom to avoid silly mistakes like having a kid of your gene?," Rachel dropped on him making
everyone go silent. Satisfaction, that's what she felt right now, now that she has triggered the bastard,
it's time to watch him act in anger and become very predictable.
"Araceli what the fuck are you…." Xander was growling in a devastatingly low voice before the
Ride of Mr and Mrs Garcia stopped right in front of them, they were on the steps of the building that led
to the red carpet, so if he needed to say anything shitty to Araceli, he needed to bite his tongue and
hold it in because she knew riling him up in front of people was her strategy, she herself was becoming
quite predictable, he knew he had her mother's soft spot so that was going to and will always be his
exploitation point, but what happened next surprised him….
