Chapter 202 - Best Friend Didn't Sleep Together

The moment Lisa opens her house door, her body was pounced with a sturdy and familiar figure. He hugs her like she was a missing teddy bear.

"B! Where have you been going these past two days?" Harry pulled away from the hug and scanned on her body before his eyes fixed on her neck.

"Hickeys? Who did this?" He scrunched his eyebrow, and Lisa immediately hides it with her hand.

"B, tell me, who's this guy you meet without telling me?" He grabs her hand. Clearly, there's a bit of sadness in his tone, but she was hallucinating it, right? No way, Harry will be sad. He just gets back together with Sophie, so there's no way he'd be upset now.

"No one important, why are you here?" She yanked her hand and went to her bedroom, with Harry still following her from behind.

"I was worried sick about you. You didn't pick up your call, and it keeps getting into voicemail. Where have you been?" He still pestering her about where did she go these past days.

"I had things to do. Why you bother anyway?" She rolled her eyes and take off her corporate shirt and leave her with only a tank top.

The moment Harry saw it, he gasps and pulls her down to sit on the bed. "Are you having sex with that guy??" He stares at her, which then Lisa couldn't lie to him. Do whatever to her, but she really weak against Harry.

Sighing, she nods. "So what if I have sex with that guy?"

Fuming, Harry scoffed. "So what, you say? Is he a vampire or what? Making my B's body like this! Who is this guy? Tell me, and I'll beat him to death!" He clenched his fist.

Hearing his word, Lisa chuckles and shakes her head. So he does care about her body, huh? He does care to whom she had sex with, and if only he cared about her feelings too.

"Nobody. It just one night stand, and I really need to let off some steam." She gives a reason and pushes his hand from searching any hickey's mark on her body. She also a bit irks to why Brian put so much hickey on her body like this.

"Let off some steam? Why didn't you tell me? I could-"

"You could what? Having sex with me?" Lisa cut his word, and Harry dumbstruck with her question. "B, you're my best friend.."

"Yeah..and best friend didn't sleep together, you know." Lisa state the fact, and Harry turned silent. He looks a bit sad. "Did I make you hard for sleeping with me? Is it because of me you find a guy to have sex with you?"

Again, Lisa's sighing. She can't see his face like this. It's piercing her heart, which already shattered by him. She slowly cups her hand on both of his cheeks and bumps her forehead with him.

"I'm sorry..let's drop this subject and can you….give me some space? I need to be alone for now."

Harry frowned and said, "No, B..tell me if there's something that bothering you? I can't just leave you like this. Not until I know the reason."

Lisa squeeze her eyes shut. She places a kiss on his cheek before she says. "Please, D…I need to be alone." her voice was deep and soft. With that being said, Harry couldn't force her anymore.

He places a kiss on her forehead and both of her cheek. "Call me whenever you need me." He said and left her alone in her apartment. He doesn't know what to do.

Seeing her body like that and how devastated she looks, he couldn't guess what happened to her. He even isn't able to track her down like her presence has been hide by someone. But who? Who dares to touch his person?

Ever since they were still kids, he has been chasing all the men who want to get close to her as he pretty much doesn't want his precious girl got hurt by a useless man.

When he knows someone took her virginity, he rages like a murderer and even went to the length of broke that man's leg and hands. He also ends up in jail for one and a half-day before his mother come and bail him out. Lisa never lies to him, and she always sticks to him, and whatever happens, he still wants to be her knight.

He'll find out sooner or later whose this guy who dares to smeared his B's body like that. He nurtures her and treats her like a princess, and here's come a stupid vampire ruin it and make her sad. He was flared up inside and only calmed down when seeing Henry at the front of his penthouse.

"What're you doing here with your daughter?" He asked, and Henry passes his daughter to him. Harry doesn't mind as he loves his niece.

"What else? I'm gonna stay here for a few days until Jessica reflects on her action." he monotonously said, and Harry sighs.

"You shouldn't do that. Yes, Jess did drug me and make me have sex with Sophie, but maybe she only does it because she loves you too much." Harry opens his door and lets them in.

"That's not a way to show me her love, and you know that too. I don't know, sometimes I feel like giving up. What else should I do to make her understand that I had no feeling for Lisa even though we're pretty much close." He runs his finger through his hair. Harry still carrying his niece on his arm and play with her little finger.

"Should I marry Lisa then?" Harry blurted out, and Henry snapped his head to his twin brother. "What?" his eyes sparkle before Harry laugh and says,

"I'm joking, don't take it seriously."

Henry grunts. Sometimes he feels like he wants to smack his twin brother's head so that he would know his real feeling toward that girl. There's no way that 'they're just a friend.'

He saw how much Lisa meant to him and how possessive he is toward her. He never shows that side of him to any girls before besides her. He acts like a knight in shiny armor, but sometimes he wonders why he doesn't want to be the prince instead of a knight?

"Haa…I don't understand women." Henry sighs and Harry also nods his head. "Me too."

...

"Ah~ finally, my creation is done." Lisa look at the three tubes with a blue liquid inside it. She rubs her hands together before her lab's door suddenly opened by someone.

"B, what's this?!" Harry storm in and throw her resignation letter on the table which then Lisa scrunch her eyebrow a bit. Yeah, she did leave her resignation letter on his desk when he was out for a meeting this morning.

She thought this would save her from hearing a nagging and his big begging 'cat-eyes.' But, she was wrong when the man itself came roaring in her lab and caught a few other researcher's attention.

"D..you're scaring me. Geez.." She said and changed her position so that she would not see his face. She still wouldn't able to face him properly. The imagination in her mind will turn wild and hurt her again.

"Sorry," He said and held both of her shoulders before he hugs her from behind. "But why did you give me this letter? Something's up that I didn't know? Tell me, B.."

Sighing, she squeezes her hand on her chest. "I'm…I'm sorry, D..I've got accepted at NASA headquarters, and you know that I've long wanted to be one of them, aren't you?"

"But, this is so sudden B. You know I can't stay away from you, how did you planning on leaving me and leave me all alone here? I refuse to accept this. You did not consult me first regarding this." He still reluctant to let her go.

"D..this is my dream. Let me once in my life chasing my dream. You've been controlling my life ever since we've known each other, for the first time..I'm asking you.." She inhales profoundly and turns her body around. She is looking at the man's eyes. "Let me chase my dream. For the first time in my life…I beg of you to let me go!" She gasps once she realizes that she raises her voice at him.

Harry dumbstruck by her word. Did he ever control her life? A bit pang hit his heart. "Yeah..I'm not going to control your life again. It's your decision, after all. I had no important voice in this matter of your life."

He took the resignation letter on the table and left the lab. All of the workers who still at the lab section immediately lowered their heads when Harry walk out of the lab room with a bit angry. They then look at the girl who already tears up a bit inside the glass room.

She takes all of the glass tubes and places them inside a special box before she went back to her office room. They never fight like this before. It's hurting her, and she felt guilty for said something like that to Harry.

Just when she wants to make a call to Harry, someone's calling her phone, and she scrunches her eyebrow a bit.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Lisa..want to have lunch with me? I'm at the front of your office right now."
