Chapter 16

Support from the Crazy Bunch

Everything that happened after that was a huge blur. Immediately after Drew kissed me in front of everybody, I suddenly felt being transported somewhere else. The volley of questions continued.

“When did you guys get together?”

“How did you meet?”

“What does Lady Catherine has to say about this?”

I faintly remember me, Chad, Rissa, Andie, Jam, and Drew being dragged out of the very crowded airport by men dressed up like the MIB. I was thrown inside a black SUV. Thankfully, Drew was there squeezing my hand, making sure I felt his presence.

Honestly, I remembered everything that happened, but it felt like it was someone else living it and not me.

“Well, that was interesting,” Chad said, looking at Drew and me.

“I’m baffled. How the hell did the press know about us being at the airport? I thought you guys covered it up when Drew decided to stay here for a while?” Rissa asked.

Andie and Jam also nodded, trying to come up with a possible reason as to how and why the press were at the same airport as us.

“Isn’t it obvious, Rissa babe?” Chad asked.

I was still in a total shock and couldn’t even answer that simple question even when the truth was right there in front of my face.

“Cath,” was all Drew said, seething with rage. He couldn’t take it anymore and got his phone and dialed someone’s number.

“What the hell happened? I asked you for one thing… one thing, and you people couldn’t even do something about it. No press, that was a simple request. No press!” Drew said in a cold voice. He wasn’t shouting, but if I were at the receiving end of this conversation, I would prefer he was.

Chad was shaking his head and casually draped his arms around Rissa like this situation was as normal as ice cream. Andie was staring at the window; again, like this was a simple situation that she normally had to deal with.

Wait, who was I kidding? This was a common situation for these people.

They were royalties. They’re used to the press and paparazzi following them. I wasn’t totally sure about Chad, though. He had been living here press-free for the past three years.

Drew finished his phone call and took a deep breath. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking because I was still in shock. Most people would normally be over it by now, but I was still frozen to my seat.

“Uhhh, Liz, are you ok? You have been pretty quiet for the past five minutes,” Jam asked. Everyone suddenly looked at me, expecting an answer.

I shook my head and looked at the ceiling of the car. Right then and there, I exploded.

“No, not really. Catherine is trying to steal my freaking boyfriend. So, no, I’m not ok. Far from it! I’m not sure which emotion to feel first, jealousy or shock. She freaking kissed my boyfriend in front of me!” I said, almost screaming.

Drew might have thought he was in trouble because all anger suddenly left him.
