Chapter 42: Jealous Boyfriend
Chapter 42: Jealous Boyfriend
"Did you bring some snacks?" Lana asked and Clyde raised his paper bag. However, he was more excited to know the handsome man sitting on Lana's couch.
"Who is he?" Clyde asked with a meaningful look at Lana. It was the first time he had seen Lana with a man at her home except for Lana's friend Drey and himself, whom Lana was close and comfortable with and even occasionally went out with along with her closest to heart, girlfriends.
"Oh, yes. Meet my Boss. Liam Sy…" Lana introduced. Liam stood up from his seat.
Clyde gave Liam a warm smile and extended his hand, "Hmm, I'm Clyde. Lana's boyfriend."
'Boyfriend'? Liam felt something fell on him when he heard this word and then he remembered Lana kept a big distance with men, so he frowned and growled, "Boyfriend?"
Clyde nodded, but he raised his eyebrows as he explained, "Yeah, one of his boy friends so boyfriend. Lana only has two male friends. Me and Drey. Why?"
"Nothing. So I'm her boyfriend too. That makes it three now," Liam scorned. Clyde could feel the sarcasm in Liam's words. The man was handsome, but he did not like Liam's deadly aura.
Lana heard Liam and his words felt a little wrongly placed, 'Who is friends with this statue?'
She was reprimanding Liam in her heart when she heard Clyde's voice, he came a little closer to her and whispered into her ears, "Is he that same boss of yours who is yet hiding inside the cupboard."
Liam sat back on the couch and his brows snapped together, seeing that Clyde was too close with Lana while he whispered something. But he quickly shifted his gaze in another direction, seeing Lana turned towards him.
Lana sneakily looked at Liam and nodded, quietly chuckling at his way of asking.
Then she turned her head to Liam. "I will just prepare some snacks and drinks for us all and shall be just back. Feel free to talk to Clyde. I'll be back shortly." Lana said before leaving to go to her kitchen.
She was giggling at the thought of Liam and Clyde getting to know each other, but then a hint of confusion crossed her eyes. But Lana brushed it off quickly.
She hated men because according to her they were all the same, cheats and unfaithful. So she had decided to remain single all her life and let no man come close to her and be allowed to hurt her. She hated those men who wanted to trap her in their sweet words and take advantage of her.
She was friends with just a very few people and only two men were actually on the list of her friends' names. Liam was a recently added name in that list with whom she felt good because somehow she always had felt that she would be safe with him.
She had read in a few articles about how Liam hated to be attached with any woman and had never been linked up with any woman in a romantic way. Some even had stated his bent sexual preferences, though nothing had ever been proved about him.
She was still grinning, thinking how Clyde was going to pester Liam.
Meanwhile, Clyde comfortably sat on the couch right beside Liam with his charming smile plastered on his face. He couldn't believe that it would be his lucky day of meeting such a handsome man with the same sexual orientation as his.
"So Liam, how is it working with Lana?" Clyde asked and moved closer while Liam also moved a bit to keep the gap in between.
"It's good." he simply answered. He felt a little uncomfortable with the way Clyde was smiling at him and moving closer bit by bit.
'What's wrong with this guy?' Liam irritably mused.
Clyde felt something strange and stared at Liam.
"You're here to see Lana and it is simply about work right?" Clyde asked with a raised brow, but Liam only gave him a nod followed by a stern look.
'Hmm, this man doesn't look bent to me.' Clyde concluded seeing Liam didn't show even a single bit of interest in him but was looking a little irritated instead.
"Do you often visit here?" Clyde heard Liam ask.
"Yeah. I love coming here. I love seeing Lana often. Sometimes, I also have to cook for her whenever she asks, because Lana is a real lazy cat when it comes to those kinds of things. I also help her in cleaning her house now and then or …"
"Excuse me, but I'm not interested in knowing how you're invading Lana's privacy every now and often!" Liam cut off.
"I'm sorry, I have to go now. Please tell Lana that I will just call her later." Clyde heard next, and he gulped at how sharp Liam's gaze was at him, giving him goosebumps all over with fright.
Lana went back to the living room with a tray of snacks and juices.
"Where's Liam?" Lana asked with a creased forehead seeing Clyde sitting alone on the couch.
She put the tray on the table and looked around.
"He left. He said he will just call you later." Clyde said with pursed lips.
"What did you do to irritate him?" Lana asked in rounded eyes, thinking Clyde said something to offend Liam.
"What? Nothing! I even act so manly, you know. I'm not like others. You know how low profile I am with my identity." Clyde defended.
Clyde was a certified homo, but he looked like a perfect refined man and acted like a gentleman too. He was even very fit with a good muscular body and was naturally handsome because he regularly visited the gym to keep his body shaped and to serve his second purpose, to feast his eyes with lots of hot muscles, biceps and triceps and what not...
"Lana, are you sure about his sexual preferences? Because with his aura and his response towards me, he doesn't look like that at all to me. I in fact felt like he wanted to punch me in the face with that stern look he gave me before leaving. He even sounded like a jealous boyfriend when I told him about how I help you out sometimes!" Clyde grumbled before asking Lana more about Liam.
