Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 104 - Support My Friend

"Could you tell us where she went? We could catch up to her," Stephen pleased.

Angelina sighed. "I don't know and I wouldn't tell you even if I did. You messed with my friend, you ain't going to ruin the one chance she has for a rebound."

"So you don't know," Stephen said smugly. The other gazed at Stephen and said nothing.

"Unfortunately, we had a falling out. I don't think she would tell me anything after what I told her." She winced.

Cage imagined a scenario where Katherine went home with the guy she was out with and he felt his heart shatter. He couldn't just stand around waiting while it happened. It would be better if he just went back home. He couldn't stand seeing her with someone else.

"Wait!" Angelina called from behind them. They turned to look at her. "I'm sure she won't be long. Why don't you come inside and wait for a bit?" Stephen shrugged and followed the woman in without looking for Cage's opinion.

At this point, the man was frustrated by how he was being treated by his secretary.

Cage followed behind, huffing as he closed the door after him. They were led to a living room where there was a huge television and a wall full of photographs of three girls.

Cage quickly noticed the brunette who looked beyond happy in the pictures, smiling at her friends or at the camera. He found himself smiling with her and was almost nostalgic when he realized that he might not be able to see her smile like this ever.

She was beautiful. Beyond beautiful. Her doe-like eyes and full cherry lips made her look like an angel and the curve of her body was just perfect. There was nothing boyish about her, nor was she like those models who people seemed to like. She was glorious and unappreciated. He could see that when he saw her picture with her two friends. He could see the insecurity in her eyes when she was around them and he didn't like it one bit.

"This you?" Stephen pointed at a picture of Angelina.

"Yeah," she said when she looked at what he was pointing at.

"Damn," she heard Stephen say and rolled her eyes. She was used to these compliments, but now was not the time she wanted to be called hot. It was the furthest thing from her mind.

"And this must be your friend Lily."

"She's not home either. They went out together but I don't know when she will be back."

"We don't really care for the other girl. Only Katherine. I guess you realize that Cage has been involved with Katherine for some time now?" Angelina scoffed. She was staring at Cage with a strange expression on her face.

"It sure didn't sound like you were bothered when you had a woman over after you ditched my friend."

"She was just a friend!" Cage defended.

"Yeah, and you didn't tell her anything about it. She doesn't even know who you are. All these secrets. Are you sure you like her?" she accused. She seemed to be boring into his skull.

"Maybe she does know who I am and is pretending not to." He knew that was not true, but he felt the need to defend herself in front of this aggressive woman.

"You know well that is not true. And I didn't even know she was talking to someone until a couple of days ago! Do you know how fucking insane she would have to be to keep the fact that she was talking to you a secret when she knew I thought I was talking to you?" she screamed.

'This girl has a shrill voice.' He cringed.

"I'm sorry." But then he noticed the look she was giving him and he shifted uncomfortably.

"Calm down, superstar. I am not in a mood to jump you. You are my friend's property." He was almost offended, but an insane part of him enjoyed being called Katherine's. "I've got my own problems. I don't need the two of you to judge me," she grumbled.

"And what is your problem?" Stephen asked.

"My problem? My Cage turned out to be a thirteen-year-old kid while my friend found the real one and didn't even realize it." She pointed at Cage. "And she didn't tell me a single word of her association with someone. I am pissed."

Cage winced, wanting to defend himself, but Stephen beat him to it. "So you are jealous?" he asked. Cage could see how his friend was pouting.

"You're insane!" she screamed.

"She's so hot," he whispered to Cage. They were lucky Angelina didn't hear them or else she would have gone into attack mode.

They saw her take a deep breath and then she began speaking again. "It's difficult to see the man of my dreams waiting for someone else, okay? I am stuck with a kid." Her eyes watered.

"Mind telling me what you searched for?" Stephen asked, amused.

"Kevin Heart," she muttered and his friend burst out laughing. Cage shifted from one foot to the other in discomfort at the conversation.

"In hindsight. It was stupid of me to assume that I would get it. Really, why in the hell did I use a character name? How lame and unoriginal would it be if Cage put that as his username."

"Thirteen is not all that small. I was doing lecherous things when I was that age." The girl looked at Stephen in disgust.

'Is he stupid or what?' she thought as she looked away.

"The kid lied to me, you know? He said he was you…" She sounded sad. It was pitiful that both the friends were in such similar situations but didn't realize it. Even Cage felt bad for the girl.

"Any guy would be silly to say what you didn't want to hear. Maybe he really liked you and didn't want you to go away."

"You're annoying." 'Amen, Angelina. You are right. This manager of mine is a pain in the ass.' "Don't you have another place you can be?"

"I am here to support my friend."
