Sweet Divorce

Outside W. University, a limousine slowly parked.

Liam glanced over the gate, his fingers tapping on the chair in a lazy way. His anger was mitigated on the way and his sanity was regained.

He didn’t get off the car, which bewildered Jacob.

Through the rear mirror, Jacob peeked at Liam only to find him looking at the entrance evenly.

His hand lay on the handle a few times, but he withdrew it each time.

Liam was hesitating?

For all the years Jacob had known Liam, this was the first time he had seen him acted in impulse.

And he did this for a girl!

He didn't even do this for Joey before.

Liam’s crazy in love with Rita, Jacob thought.

So crazy that he loses himself in it.

Liam reached out his phone and dialed Rita’s number while Jacob was drifting away.

“Where are you?

“School. What?” Rita asked, puzzled.

Liam said plainly. “With whom?”

“…classmates.” She answered curtly, glancing over the people surrounding her.

Meanwhile, Oliver’s eyes glittered when he overheard their conversation. Intentionally, he stepped up and said teasingly.

“Who are you calling, sweetie?”

Liam face was dreadfully dark when he heard Oliver’s voice.

The photo was true, they were together.

And he called her sweetie.

It’s like oil on a dying fire. For an instant, the fury flared and blazed.

Oliver’s intervention shocked her in a way.

She gazed at him and whirled to the balcony where was quieter. She cleared her throat and said.

“Well, you…”

“I’m right outside your school.”Liam cut her off, his voice low and cold. “Meet me, now!”

Then all she could hear was the beeping of the phone.

Helplessly, she pinched the bridge of her nose.

Reluctant as she was to see Liam, she still had to due to their collaboration.
