Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee
Chapter 273
273-The Red In His Eyes
Enya’s POV:
“Hello?” Maynard answered my call, and all eyes turned to me.
“Umm! Hey there. Where did you go? We thought you were in the bathroom.” I was trying to sound normal while Christina was staring at me with big tears in her eyes.
“Oh! I was not in the bathroom. Thiago and I left earlier to go to a bar. We have been stressed out so much that we decided to take some time off for ourselves.” Maynard sounded normal, way too normal.
“Christina has been calling you.” I felt awkward talking about her when she was right there.
“I am so sorry; I might not have seen her call. Okay, let her know I am fine and I will catch up with her in a few hours, okay?” Maynard seemed to be in a hurry. What‘s weird is that there was no noise behind him. In fact, I heard birds chirping as if they were in the open air.

“But why is the window broken? You heard someone inside, so who was in here if none of us were in here?” Lazlo was the only one who decided to skip the drama around and think more properly.
“You guys are going to act like everything is fine? You can play the detective game, I am done here,” Christina finally spoke up after remaining silent for a few minutes.
“Christina!” I ran after her to make her understand there was nothing going on between Maynard and me.
