But before getting tickets,he anxiously said he suddenly had to work overtime,and he couldn't join me.
Bullshit.
His department was the cushiest,rarely needing overtime.
Otherwise,how'd he have time for all those gaming and meetups?
But I didn't call him out.
The stage was set—why ruin the performance?
I let him go,being the considerate girlfriend.
I bet he went to apologize.
Maybe with a bouquet,all thoughtful?
Thinking of the so called"team token"couple's ring and her auto-connected Bluetooth,I shuddered.
Playing ambiguous games under the guise of friendship—how disgusting.
Earlier,adjusting the seat,I'd slipped a recording device under his passenger side.
If lucky,it might get me something.
The device was connected to my phone.After 20 quiet minutes,I heard him call Lila.
"I'm downstairs.Come out."
Soon,the car door opened.
"Why're you here?Your girlfriend didn't humiliate me enough,so you're here for round two?"Lila was probably pouting.
Her voice was soft and coy,unlike her brash tone at the meetup.
"Sorry,I'm apologizing."
"I don't want your apology—no sincerity in there!"Her tone was fierce but clearly flirtatious.
Jake laughed."You're actually mad?Aren't you the chill,big-hearted girl,not some petty chick?"
"Look at how your girlfriend treated me!She sees me as a rival,like we've got something going on between us."
"If we did,I'd accept it.But if she continue doing that,I’ll..."She trailed off,testing Jake.
Silence hung in the car.
"What?"Jake's low voice finally broke,slow.
Adults all know what that response means.
Sure enough,Lila's voice turned even more affected."I'd make it real,mm..."
A muffled moan,the sound of lips pressing together,the rustle of gripping the seat—I could hear all of them clear.
"You dare?"Lila quavered."Not afraid your girlfriend finds out and tears you apart?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?You're throwing yourself at me.If I don't bite,am I a man?"Jake chuckled,wicked.
I couldn't believe it.In front of me,he was shy,reserved—yet here,so disgusting.
Good thing I caught it early.
"She was right to curse you.You're a slut,throwing yourself at any guy!"
The words dripped with shame.
I thought Lila would snap,but she took it as flirting,gleeful."I'll steal her man,since she insulted me!"
"Not just steal—I'll ...him."She lowered her voice,that word was inaudible,but anyone could guess what she said based on the context.
I felt sick.
Fearing they'd go further in the car,I wanted to turn it off, but at the same time I didn't want to miss crucial evidence.
Then,two car door slams.
They'd left together.
Scumbag and slut.
