82 Drift

With a smile on my lips, I sped off like a lunatic who have just been let out of her cage. It has been a long time since the last time I got the chance to hold a steering wheel and drive at my own free will.

One of my father's friend is a well known racer. When he came to visit and stay in X country for a while, my father invited him to live in our house. Vincent is really enthusiastic when it comes to cars and motorcycles, that is why when he learned about my father's friend he boldly asked for him to teach him how to drive a car. I got dragged in and eventually I ended up liking it too.

"If you continue driving like that, the traffic enforcers will no doubt chase us." I heard Neo said with an indifferent tone of voice. I rolled my eyes as I continued my speed. I know a couple of shortcuts that is why I am not having a hard time maneuvering this awesome baby and not before long we are already near my house.

"Why? You scared?" I teasingly said to him.

"I just don't want to explain to them how my girlfriend transforms into another person every time she holds the steering wheel." Neo said casually as if it's the normal response to such a question.

My grip on the steering wheel tightened and without any warning, I drifted into a sudden stop. If my mother saw what I just did, she would have sent me into the nunnery on the spot to make sure I never do such a dangerous thing ever again.

Good thing we are now near my house and this is an exclusive road for property owners only so a few number of cars pass by this road.

"Drop the act Mr. Yuan. I might have agreed to play along tonight but I still did not forget that you actually teared down our deal! What have you been doing for the last 2 weeks is nowhere near the secret admirer that I asked of you." I said this with indignation in my voice. I glared at him while he looked at me unconcerned with my sudden uproar.

After a second of silence, he moved his gaze away from me and fixedly stared at the road in front. "Now I know what is wrong with this scene. In movies, isn't it common knowledge that the cool guy should be the one who rescues the pretty lady from embarrassment by picking her up with his expensive car and his good looks?" he said this in a manner like he is only talking to himself. "I think we just did that scene from the movies but the other way around." after saying this, he again directed his eyes to my direction. His eyes staring at mine like he is searching for something. Something that I have no idea of. His eyes is like a black hole sucking me in.

I resisted the urge to slap him back to reality. How can he joke at a time like this? I am serious here! And so what if we did the scene the other way around? Doesn't it look more interesting since a badass girl came running to the rescue?!

"That is out of the topic--" I initially said to discuss the topic again but my voice trailed off when I saw a small tear drop down his pale white left cheek. Wai..wait.. wait... stop!! What is wrong with this guy now?

Isn't he supposed to be nonchalant, cold and domineering??!! Then what is this drama??! Are there cameras set up in this car?! Why would the demon king suddenly cry?! This is outrageous!

I stayed frozen as I watch another fat tear drop flow down from his other eye. He didn't even hide or acted embarrassed as I stared at him frozen in my seat. He then laughed out loud like a psycho as he brush the tears off of his face.

I have a confused expression on my face as I watched him slump back to his seat eyes focused in front of the car. After a few seconds, his laugh became a chuckle and after a while his lips formed into a tight line. I can sense the mockery in his voice as he laughed out loud earlier and that chuckle sounded like helplessness to my ear.

I don't know why this ice berg suddenly acted this way. Don't tell me he's on drugs?! No! That can't be it. He was fine earlier. The same old poker face guy. So what happened then?

Wait is he drunk? He did enjoy his wine earlier right?! But that couldn't be it. He only have a faint smell of alcohol, how can a young master of a prestigious family get drunk that easily?! They are literally trained to hold their liquor.

But I asked him anyway. "Are you drunk?"

He faintly chuckled when he heard me say that. "They were together." he said with a low cold voice that I am very familiar with. But, what is this about?! I am really confused with this conversation right now.

"Who?" I patiently asked.

"Ash and J." Neo said. His voice becoming colder than ever. His tone of voice was of someone who is ready to kill at any moment now. The atmosphere inside the vehicle suddenly felt unearthly.

"Are you drunk?" I absent mindedly blurted out. What?! He can't be sane at the moment right?!

A/N:

Hey hey hey... So yeah.. That just happened... uhuh... hmmm.. yeah...

Anyway I scrolled and read the comments from chapter one up to the latest chapter. I guess some of the readers who commented on the first few chapters already gave up and dropped this out of their libraries because i have not been able to update regularly and its getting boring... But I still thank you guys for taking a bit of your time and effort in reading ABBD.

For those who patiently stayed comment 'I'm still here' and I will mention your username on my next update tomorrow.

love lots ^_^
