A Victim Of The Impervious
S
he prepared the mobile phone and started recording, facing the camera towards where she would be sitting most of the evening. As a precautionary measure, she had arranged to perform surveillance if anything more were to happen to her from Andrei. It would be recorded without him knowing because she hid the camera well, it was at a distance, and no one could see it.

Most of the evening, everyone kept going in-and-out of the living room. Louise had spent most of her time sitting on the sofa in the middle of the camera's view. They both had forgotten at some point that the phone was there on record. They had just carried on with the evening to try to enjoy them.

Andrei did not touch her anymore for some time after they started the recording. There were many jokes about Andrei and Emil; they spent a lot of the night talking to each other outside the living room. Emil was Hungarian, but he could speak good English and a little Russian. Andrei was Russian, and he could be fluent in English. Still, he was mixing both Russian and English together sometimes when he was laughing about Emil. Louise could not quite understand exactly what they were joking about. It was awkward for her, but the fact that her boyfriend knew the language comforted her. Lucian would stop his friends if they were winding her up. She trusted her partner. However, the East Europeans would still have a conversation with her in English so she could understand and laugh about it. They did not want her to think anything was out of place in their jokes.

Together, they all played a game of pool a couple of times, then later they played Shot Roulette. Some drinks were spilt over on the floor, one by Andrei and another time by Mo. Lucian cleaned up the mess that Andrei had just spilt over while playing shot roulette. Louise saw from a distance that Andrei had taken his turn with the shot roulette to spin, and she noticed Andrei's right arm swung out too far aside him and hit the glass over.

It was turning out to be weird!

At one point, Louise went to the kitchen. Mo followed her to the kitchen; she had traced his footsteps to be following her. Louise tried to act normal and continued to walk towards the fridge. As she opened the refrigerator door, she started to feel a little uncomfortable because Mo got a little too close than usual. Since Louise trusted him as a good friend, she did not think much more of it.

Later in the evening, Andrei walked towards Louise as she was sitting on the sofa, kneeling down; he changed over the current music playing on her phone again. He then started rubbing his elbow against her leg and tapped his backhand on the same leg as she moved away. At this time, Louise had it in her mind about the phone she had hidden and knew what Andrei has just done, is now recorded. She knew it could be used as concrete evidence. Louise was able to show Lucian what his best friend really is like!

A few minutes later, Louise was in the kitchen, refilling some drinks for the guests. Afterwards, she walked back towards the front room, down the hallway. As she was entering the front area, she saw the boys walk in from the garden to notice Andrei had his trousers undone. He was just pulling them up, fixing his belt together. Louise asked him what he was doing, and he replied that he had peed in the garden. She believed him and continued the rest of the evening, as usual. The poor girl was enjoying the music, singing, dancing, and joining the Shot Roulette, without realising what was going on.

Not a care in the world.
