Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

420-The Cabin Where He Kissed Me.
"Maynard! Tell us what happened last night?" Lazio insisted to know as he kept watching Maynard's face. Maynard lifted his
head and made a deep eye contact with Christina, who was looking at him only and then he opened his mouth.
"What Christina is saying is the truth," he whispered under his breath, not turning over to look me in the eye as he lied bluntly.
"Why are you lying?" I whispered in shock, a piece of my heart was crushed after Maynard too did what I had never expected
from him.
Now that I think about it, it was my fault only. He had done it before; I was a fool to think he changed.
"You heard him!" Christina yelled, looking confident than before.
"Why?“ I asked them both, "Why did you guys play me?" I couldn't even react to this obnoxious lie.
"I should be the one asking you that question. Why did you play me? you had him in your heart the entire time," Lazio yelled,
avoiding the other two and approaching me. He grasped my arm and when I tried to free myself, he dragged me out of the living
room. Once we were in our bedroom, he locked the door and started pacing back and forth. I hadn't been able to shed a tear.
But now I felt guilty.
Guilty of believing Maynard and Christina and letting them fool me. I just couldn't get why they did that to me?
"Why?" Lazio muttered, "I understand you were angry at me but why him? why sleep with my friend?" he clenched his jaw, "You
did not only ruin our friendship but their relationship too,” he was grunting and panting, walking all around the room in panic.
"Why do you care anyway? You never loved me. You were long over me, Lazio!" I finally spoke up and he ceased upon his steps
to look at me.
"You are right," he admitted, making my heart shatter but a smile covering my lips, 'I was over you the day I found out you have
been sleeping with Maynard behind everyone's back this whole time," as he finished, a frown appeared on my forehead.
"That is your way to make yourself feel better for mistreating me?" I let out a laugh at him, shaking my head as I didn't buy his
excuse.

"Tell me what happened between you two in the cabin that night?" he asked and my heart made a flip inside my chest, "tell me
you two didn't kiss?" he yelled, grabbing his hair in a fist and biting his lips.
"What are you talking about?" I was a little stunned to hear about that distant memory. It seemed like a long time ago but why
was he bringing it up now?
"That night!" Lazio muttered as he pointed his hand towards nothing, "Zander recorded you two. Is that why you went on a date
with him so that you can hide the truth of your relationship with Maynard?" he asked and let out a grunt, his veins were becoming
visible as anger began to take over him.
"Wh—," I paused, "How do you know about that night?" I felt like my whole world came crumbling down in my feet. I must look
like a whore to him for cheating on him and hiding it.
But why didn't he ask me once to explain myself?
"I saw the video too. You thought Zander dying would be enough to hide your sins? Christina was helping us in every way
possible while you were sleeping with her boyfriend. I thought I could trust you but — I get it that back then you were allowed to
have fun with all your mates but at least have a curtesy to let me know and spare your friend's mate," he hissed at me, wrinkling
his nose at my actions.
"It is all a big misunderstanding. He was drugged that night so he kissed me thinking it was Christina," I said, shaking a little. I
don't know how many things he had kept in his heart and never told me.
Was he punishing me all this time?
"Really? Just like last night? What a sweet coincidence that you two are always ending up finding each other when you are
drunk. Oh! By the way, my office has a camera too," he scoffed, bringing up another topic.
"Then you must have seen that I pulled away from him." I said, but he laughed at me, clapping his hands hard to hurt my
feelings.
"Because you too knew about the camera," he commented.
"Is this what you think of me? Why did you never speak to me about it? why make me suffer every day for two years for
something I could have provided you a better explanation to?" I yelled as my face finally displayed emotions. Life has been
already so difficult for me after losing everything and the only support I had also betrayed me.

"Because I suffered too. It wasn't easy for me to think I finally got you just so that I can lose you. You were supposed to stay
faithful to me," he shouted, throwing his arms around and dropping the frames.
"If only you have asked me once, but you didn't," I uttered as there seemed to be no exit out of this mess now. Everybody was
having fucking delusions now.
"Ask you what? that the girl in the video is you or not?" he grunted, refusing to believe anything but his eyes.
I cannot blame him for not believing his eyes but at least he should have asked me instead of declaring punishment for me. Now
it all made sense. He was always so bitter to me, focusing on hurting me.
"So what now?" I asked as I couldn't get why we should stay together.
"Alright! I will I---,” before I could say another word, Christina barged in and glared at me once again.
"She needs to leave," she screamed at the top of her lungs, "she should not live here anymore," she added, crying hysterically.
