"He works at our suspects place? God, stay away from him." Louis shook his head while I smacked his head with the newspaper of today which was kept next to the tissue paper box a few seconds ago.
Him and I were finally meeting again and getting to know about each other's life over a cup of black coffee.
I had already told him about Patrick and his indirect proposal and how he copies me everywhere and I have noticed that he had a huge crush on me but now I was telling him that he had some unknown connections with our suspect.
"He is the CEO of the company, dude. He is not a worker over there and what do your think? I am going to date him even after I found out that he had connections with a criminal. Just think, what if he don't know that he is a criminal. I was not going to date him anyways. Whether he had connections with the criminal world or not" I explained by theory to him.
"Wow! Wow! Calm down there" he waved his hands in the air.
"Anyways, how's your life? Everything with family? Parents? Tom? " I teased him. I knew that he never liked conversation about the people he had any type of relation with.
"Shh! Shh! Not here" he looked around suspiciously, taking care that whether someone heard him or not. I knew that no one did.
I laughed after seeing his reaction. That's what I always do, that's what makes me happy. I am really, I mean really comfortable with Louis. After all, he is my partner in crime even though I work against crime.
Don't ask, we once blew our collage's science lab together and still no one knows anything about it.
I was a mess from laughter and as you know that laughter is contagious, it caught him also. We started laughing together and started unwantedly attracting attention towards us from the people around us in the café. I hit his arm playfully and let it linger while we died of laughter.
Patrick
I promised one of my friend to meet him in the nearby café. He was late, as always. So, I entered the Café to atleast just sit and have a cup of coffee before he arrive because I knew it was definitely going to take a year fro him to arrive.
But Destiny had other plans as it ruined my happy and cheerful mood. Hell, because my eyes landed on Y/n. Oh, come on, seeing Y/n always makes me happier than ever but seeing him with somone else annoys me alot as I can't talk to her even when she is right in front of me which had never happened expect if today which was a good thing and a bad thing too because she was not alone but with a boy.
I don't recognise the boy but who cares. The thing that mattered was, she was with a boy. So, I just left. Without meeting my friend, I just messaged him that I had an emergency with the work and flew away after reaching there as fast as possible. Fuck, understand, I am pissed. Very badly pissed off.
Y/N
I was waiting.... And waiting.... And waiting.... and waiting....since an hour but there was no call. No call from Patrick. I myself don't know why I was waiting that much for Patrick's call and attention but I-I was just waiting.
I didn't knew when and how but I just fell asleep during that waiting time but I was pretty sure that no call came. Of course, I knew because when I woke up the next day, my telephone was kept on my top so that means if there was any call, I body must have vibrated but the thing to thing about was why didn't he called when he calls every night?

"But I don't get why do I have to come with you both when I can just here, all cozy and comfy with A.C. and Netflix and can watch the devil wears prada"
"We have already talked about it, young lady. We are going!!" My father grumbled while stuffing some of my mom's stuff in her white purse.
"Are you ordering me?" I crossed my arms over my chest.
"No! Of course not. You know, we always go on dinners once a month and last time also you refused" my mom jumped in the middle of our conversation.
"Just come!" Dad sighed.
"Fine! Fine!" I jumped on my dad's back for a millisecond before I let go while he was walking away from the living room. "Only if you buy me a PS5" I folded my hands behind my hips.
"Anything you like" My dad smiled while looking at me.
"Got it! Be right back"
~~~
We were at our regular restaurant. I was wearing a peach gown with a bun while loss strands of my brunette hair falled at the front.
After having dinner, we stood up to leave when my eyes lingered on Patrick. He was with his friends, Paul included. How come I didn't noticed him? He had been there a time amd it looked like they were also about to leave after seeing the waiter giving them a white parchment ehich definitely carried a bill.
"Be right back!" I whispered in my dad's ear who was talking to my mom. He nodded his head as I walked up to the table.
"What a coincidence, Paul. Caught you" I smiled at Paul. Patrick, who wad lost in his own thoughts as he stared at the napkin kept in his empty plate looked up at me.
"Jacqueline? What a pleasant surprise. Didn't expected to see you here. Come on, come on, sit!" Paul greeted me with a quick kiss on my both cheeks as an old british greeting way.
"Yeah! Me too. Actually, I was just leaving the restaurant and saw you so I can to greet you. " I grumbled on as I kept on of my hand on the other as I leaned back before I laid my eyes on Patrick "Patrick? Hey" I pulled out my hand. He first seemed to hesitate but than slowly took it and gladly shook it. Well, I would liketo remove the glaldy part because I could feel that from inside he was happy to touch my hand and feel the warmth spread through his veins but he didn't showed it. From the front, he made a face which made him look like a child who just started talking to his mother once gaian after a huge fight and crying and all that baby drama over a toy which was refused to be brought by his mother. He never hesitate to touch me (respectly) or talk to me but today he seemed disturbed. He also didn't called me yesterday, something was definitely wrong. At least, he shook my arrogantly but happily.
"Guess, I should get going! " Patrick exclaimed after I let go of his hand.
"Alright than. See you tomorrow bye" Paul hugged him before he went out.
"I guess, I should also get going than. Bye" I quickly hugged him and ran out of the restaurant as I followed my parents. I cannot let him found out about my parents. Otherwise, he will get to know that Iwad lying about my identity.
When I followed my parents outside, my eyes landed on Patrick who was furiously walking towards his car. I followed and caught up with his steps.
"Patrick Bateman? The nose poker? Is ignoring me? Glad to listen" I teased him as I bit my lips, trying my best not to smile.
"Who said I am ignoring you? " Hr finally answered but still in a way that doesn't satisfied me. His eyes were fixed at the front.
"Patrick Bateman's big ego himself. " but I kept trying. When he didn't replied, I left the part of trying to be polite s fury started to enter me
"What is wrong with you Patrick Bateman? Why are you ignoring because I know that you are ignoring me . You better talk to me before I call cops on you for leading me on. You didn't called me yesterday also. It's been quite annoying. What have I done? You are the one who is pain in the ass but still always blames me. The fault is yours not mine." I stopped in my tracks but still he didn't and kept walking. I rambled on and on and also by mistakly touched the matter about the call thing but right now I didn't care. The thing I cared about was-why was he ignoring me?
He stopped walking and turned to look at me. As he walked backwards to face me. "Me? I am the one in fault? Y/n, you are the one in fault. Ever since I met you, I had been after you. I brought you literally everything until I got to know your choices. I send you flowers everyday. You will call cops on me for leading you on? I led you on? I confessed me real feelings for you because I didn't wanted to lead you on. Still, I led you on? You led me on? I know, Y/n, I cannot control who you like that's your choice and your personal matter but if you knew that you liked me, you could have told me that you like someone else and want me stop? I could have stopped. If I couldn't have stopped at least I could have tried. Still, I led you on? I shared my problems with you and cared for you. You called me different names still I worried for you. Remember the time when you told me that you want me to stop poking your nose in my personal business, I know I didn't but when you told me to at least stop poking my nose in your job matter. I stopped because I knew that, that made you angry, made you upset. You know what? Let me be honest, I know that you are a spy.....Yes, I know that you are a secret agent. I knew it since a very long time but didn't touched the matter because I knew that made you angry. Still, I led you on? It's clear Y/n that you were the one who LED ME ON.... Not me! " He took a deep breath and huffed.
I was too speechless to form any words. My throat was aching from shouting as I couldn't form any words.
"Fuck! I knew that your knew" I let my hands flew in air as I looked at my side until all of a sudden, I took a hold of Patrick's wrist and turned him around so that his wrist was behind hai back.
"Mr. Nose Poker definitely knows things. That's the reason he had been copying me around, Right?" I mocked him pitily until I leaned forward to whisper in his ear. "Let anybody found out that I am a spy including my and your loved ones, you are going to pay along with them " I let him go and walked up to the car where my parents were waiting for me.
I don't know why he didn't even tried to get himself out of my lock when I hold him. If it was for the touch which I knew it wasn't as the way he hesitated to shake my hand inside a few minutes ago.
But the thing that kept me awake the whole night was-What he meant by me leading him on? What was he talking about, me not telling that I liked someone else? Did I liked someone else? Hell, according to me.... No! At least, not right!
