Lily clearly had no intention of backing down.
She was trying to force me out,but I wasn’t about to let her win.
After she pulled an all-nighter at work and was sleeping in the next day, I took a day off and invited some friends over for a party.
Our group of people cooked,watched TV,and played mahjong at home,making a lot of noise too.
That’s what you call fighting fire with fire.
She wouldn't let me have a good time,so I wouldn't let her have a good time either.
Seeing Lily's irritated expression,coming out to use the toilet and pour water from time to time. Her a face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and honestly, I felt a little smug.
This was what it felt like to not be able to sleep well.
I also wanted her to experience it.
My best friend,Emma,pulled me aside,“Amy,fighting with her like this will only result in a lose-lose situation.It would be better to move out earlier.”
I knew that Emma was doing it for my own good.
But I just wasn't willing to give in.
I didn't do anything wrong.Why should I move out?
“No. If anyone should be moving out, it’s going to be her.”
I admit it — I’ve got a flaw: I'm stubborn.
“But I'm worried about you being alone. What if I move in and stay with you?”Emma suggested.
I didn't want to trouble her.If she moved in with me,it would be too far from where she worked.
“No it’s okay. I can handle it.”
But the reality was that I overestimated myself.
I thought it was just a petty fight with Lily—annoying, sure, but never dangerous. But then I realized that Tom had been watching me.
Whether I was showering, changing, or even using the bathroom, I could feel eyes on me.
Sometimes, when Lily wasn't at home, Tom would openly stare at me—and even smile.
His smile made me feel goosebumps all over my body.
It was the weekend again.I slept until late in the morning.Just after I finished washing up,Tom came in and blocked my way.
“What are you doing?”I glared at him.
“What am I doing?Shouldn't I be asking you that? Always strutting around in front of me, all day giving me those flirtatious looks…You're clearly trying to seduce me, right? Well, guess what—you've succeeded,”Tom said.
Tom reached out his hand to touch me,but I dodged it.
I give him a look like I was pitying a lunatic and asked calmly,“Are you insane?”
“I...”
Tom was about to say something when Lily suddenly appeared in the living room.He didn't dare to make any more moves.
And I quickly took the opportunity to slip away.
This guy was really crazy.He had delusions!
Lily wasn’t any better. She even sent me a WeChat message, warning me to stay away from her boyfriend — or else I’d pay the price.
I really couldn't believe it!
A narcissistic man and a girl with a love-brain,what a perfect combination!
Monday came. I was at work when a random chat window suddenly popped up.
Curious, I clicked it open —only to find a bunch of shirtless selfies of some guy. He was clearly trying hard to pose, but his muscle definition was basically nonexistent. It was honestly hilarious.
I kept wondering who this was. When did I even added him? Why couldn't I remember?
Then he sent a voice message.
I hit play — and the voice sounded like he had a slipper stuck in his throat.“Why aren't you talking, Amy? Are you drooling over my pics?”
Ugh~ I actually gagged.
I was careless.
I didn't expect it at all — it was that narcissist, Tom.
I didn't reply because I hadn't recovered yet.Then he typed and sent another message,“I know you like me. This is my secret account. Lily won't find out.”
Not only was he narcissistic,but he was also a playboy!
My apologies!My apologies!
