"Sorry, can you repeat that?"
Hearing her confused words, he could somewhat understand why she was like this.
But it shouldn't have been this surprising considering it's him.
"So as I said, can you please take your car over before I get killed."
"Luke? What the fuck did you do this time? And where are you even?"
Looking around, he found himself in a dark room with various women's clothes hanging around him.
"So I am stuck inside- more like hiding inside Elise's closet. So can you come to her house real quick with a car?"
Suddenly he heard a loud sigh from the speaker and realised she was pretty annoyed right now.
"Hey, I will also buy you some chocolate cakes so perfect for you right?"
But he heard nothing from her and started to get worried that she was ghosting him.
Especially because if she doesn't come sooner, then he might get killed by Elise soon.
"Before that, how did you even end up there? And why is Elise trying to kill you?"
"How did you know it was Elise going to kill me?"
He was pretty surprised by her guessing that correctly but that's to be expected from his best friend after all.
"Of course sooner or later, you were going to get killed by a girl. So pretty easy to predict."
"Not my fault for being such a handsome and popular man."
He couldn't help but say it with a proud expression on his face.
"Got your last joke before dying to her?"
But hearing her deadpan voice, he snapped back to reality and realised once again what kind of dangerous situation was in.
"Not yet, so can you come real quick now."
He urged her to come faster as he knew that Elise was going to find him soon, and with the state she was in and her text messages.
He was definitely either going to be killed or captured.
'Second one is not that bad though.'
"Sure sure, I am going there so survive till then."
He felt a bit of relief after hearing her response and the car engine noise in the background.
"But how did you even fucked her though? Didn't she have a boyfriend a week ago?"
Shaking his head, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed by his friend and her question.
"What kind of man do you think I am to fuck a girl just after knowing for a week?"
She went a bit silent for a bit, worried he was about to call her but she responded before that.
"Let's see, you are the worst womaniser I know who only interacts with women to fuck them while charming them with his face and words."
"Ugh! I am not that kind of guy, like look at you and me, we have such a great friendship too."
He muttered in a sad voice while trying to wipe his nonexistent tears.
"We had sex a week ago and also stop trying to act sad as you are fooling no one."
Getting caught, he coughed lightly and tried to move past this topic.
"Anyway come fast, also we shouldn't be talking as you are on the road."
He tried to hang up the call but was stopped by her usual deadpan voice from the other end.
"So did you fucked her or not?"
"Well you see, it turned out her boyfriend was cheating on her and we accidentally found out. Shit happened, with me consoling her and all."
"And it just ended with that?"
"Well one thing happened after another and we ended up having sex afterwards."
"This dude…"
He couldn't help but laugh awkwardly as he knew what he did was weird but something was expected from a guy like him.
"Luke? What did I say about her then?"
"What do you mean?"
He remembered three of them talking with each other on the college campus but he didn't know what she was referring to.
"It was the thing I said when we first met her and her boyfriend."
He tried to think about the event that happened then and finally remembered the words she said back then.
"Oh yeah, you said something about her seeming kind of crazy."
"Yup and what you don't do with crazy girls?"
"Uhh don't stick my dick in them but hey she is not that-"
But before he could say that, he remembered how she behaved earlier in the morning and then looked at the text messages from her.
Which were filled with, 'YOU ARE ONLY MINE', 'I LOVE YOU', 'DON'T LOOK AT OTHER GIRLS' multiple times.
He couldn't help but take back the words he was about to say.
"Well she might be a bit crazy but no worries as my best friend Lillia is going to save me for sure."
"Yeah, if only you survive her and she is the only one right now, right?"
"What kind of man- well maybe not, but don't worry about the other one."
"This guy…"
He once again heard her sigh from the speaker and it went silent once again.
"Hey, you shouldn't be sighing like that as it ruins your beautiful face."
"You can't be stopped even in a situation like this? Can you?"
"What do you mean?"
He couldn't understand what she meant by that as he was genuinely worried about her.
"Whatever, I am hanging up now and be sure to be alive somehow."
"Aye, and be safe on the road."
With that, the call was hung up and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief due to the fact that help was coming to him.
'Let's hide quietly till she comes here.'
Hoping for Lillia to arrive here quickly, he silently waited inside the closet when he heard the door opening sound.
At first, he thought Lillia finally arrived even though it was quicker than he expected but that hope was shattered when he heard the voice of who it was.
"Luke? Honey? Where are you? Come out as I just want to talk with you."
He heard a sweet voice calling out for him but he couldn't help but get terrified as he knew the intentions behind those words from Elise.
