I was…perfect?
"I wouldn't say that," I said.
"Well, I did mean just body wise not in other areas," she explained.
For some reason, that hurt me. I didn't want to understand how it affected me when she didn't make the statement with any form of malice.
"How have you been?" I asked.
The moment I asked the question, her shoulders dropped, and her eyes seemed to have lost some color. Something terrible had happened to her.
"Parents?" I asked.
She looked surprised, "You could tell?"
"I remember that face when you first told me about them," I replied. "Did they send you on exile again to another remote location?"
"I wish that was the case, but, it's far worse this time," she uttered softly.
"What?"
"I…"
"There she is!" a voice that had successfully annoyed me on several occasions announced.
I turned to find Lawrence making his way to us. He seemed like he was on top of the world. Maybe it was the way I saw him, but he seemed more spoiled now. Like a child that hadn't been good all year but managed to get the gift he's always wanted.
He paused as he noticed me. With the confusion in his eyes, I could tell he didn't know which of the twins I was.
"I don't believe we've met," I said as I extended my hand to him. "I'm Dr. Ethan Sullivan."
"Oh, thank goodness. I thought your brother was here to give me my usual examinations a bit too early," he mocked with a relieved look as he shook my hand.
Something told me the relief he felt didn't stem from the fact that he was meant to go for another checkup.
"You know Dr. James?" I asked. "The last time I heard about her, she was working for my younger brother."
"Well, Dr. James and I are childhood friends," he explained as he walked toward her. He held her hips possessively from the side and pulled her to him.
Natasha didn't resist, nor did she look at me. She looked away at other guests, with a smile that I could easily tell was forced.
"That's very nice," was all I could say, hoping that my anger and displeasure weren't written on my face.
"That's not all," he continued. I noticed the dissatisfaction on her face, "She and I are a couple now. I wish your brother was here. I have him to thank for helping my beauty keep up with her status of a goddess."
I looked at her and back to him.
A couple? Thanks to me?
Judging by the smirk on his face, he might have had an idea of what had happened between Natasha and Ian. He was hinting at that. So, thanks to me, Natasha was stuck with this idiot?
"I'll let him know," I said.
It was no use. There was nothing I could do, but I needed to leave there immediately.
"It was nice meeting you again, Nathasha," I said with a pained smile.
"Nice meeting you again, Ethan," she affirmed. "Extend my greetings to Ian."
