Dangerously in love | MxM

Chapter 9 - Aristo

It's been two weeks and my mind still won't stop wandering to what Hugo said.

I don't believe in love.

He had some nerve messing around with me and thinking I would be casual about it. God, I wish I didn't have to marry him but the defeat I'll face when I turn thirty and my parents cross their arms and give me a look of pity. I would rather die.

I placed cellotape on the last box and gave my hands a dust-off. Chelsea decided she's going to move in with Seb since their relationship recently blossomed into sex. I did not need all the details about  that but I did decide to pack my things as  well since I'll most likely move out to be with Hugo.

Sulphur moved in with Chelsea since I don't think Hugo will be too fascinated by the idea of a pet. The thought of a cat shedding their fur and him loosing his shit was way too funny to imagine.

She already got dropped off at Sebastian's yesterday. "That's all, right?" Chelsea snapped me out of my thoughts and brought me back to Earth. "Yeah, I think so." I helped her remove the dust off her back, only God knows how it got there.

"This feels so weird, going to live with people we love." Her hair bounced and her smile screamed happiness. I wish I could do the same, but no, I have to think about what I have to say to Hugo when he tries talking to me. As if on cue, my phone pinged with a notification.

Seb: Are you guys done? I've sent the movers for C's things.

You: Yeah, just cleaning up.

It felt weird indeed. Hugo texted me three days ago. No pictures, no information, just an address and day.

"Ari, Are you sure this is what you want? You don't have to let your parents pressure you like this, You and Tsar barely speak..." Worry made her smile dim and her eyes darken. "I'm sure, and we text frequently, I'll survive, I know I will." All of those were lies. This was the worst decision I've ever made in my life.

The movers for Chelsea eventually arrived and took her things. We changed into more appropriate outfits and decided to go for a drink to celebrate our new move in. I didn't consider it as a celebration though but the drinks were amazing. From cocktails to ciders to whiskey to beers, I really did just want to enjoy tonight as it might be the only night I'll feel... free.

It was currently midnight and I could feel the drunkenness in my veins, the feeling made me ooze out confidence but not enough to make me dance on the table naked.

Chelsea was pretty drunk too and Sebastian was somewhat sober. He constantly asked me to drink water but I declined every time. "Aristo, drink water," He sounded angry, his eyebrows lowered as he spoke. His curly hair was being admired by Chelsea and his glasses were on her face.

"You don't have anyone to take you to Mr. Kaiser's house. Chelsea has me to take her." He shoved the glass of water towards me. I sighed and drank the water, the taste of something so plain made my mouth taste bitter. "I do have someone to take me home." I pulled out my phone and texted Hugo.

You: Hugo.

My phone pinged almost instantly.

Asshole: Where are you?

You: Why, it's not like you carw about mr

Asshole: Interesting spelling.

You: SHUF UP

I couldn't see my keyboard clearly nor think of I'm writing anything correctly. I was drunk, tired and stressed.
