CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: LACEY FEAR 1
Lacey walk down the stairs after receiving a call from Linda, ” are you okay?” I asked, looking at her the moment I step into the living room, I look sideway and notice monica standing right there ” Monica ”
” Lacey ”
Tears swell in our eyes before we hug each other, laughing and crying at the same time, I have really missed her, so much ” how have you been?” She asked after we sit down and miss Linda drop a glass of wine on the table for us.
” Am fine ” I mumble ” you?”
” Yes ” silence engulf us, it was evident, they are things we aren’t telling ourselves ” am so sorry for making you worried ”
” It’s fine ”
” The truth is ” I mumble ” my father sold me to Arthur ”
” What ”
” It’s my fault, I didn’t read the document before signing”
” But he is your father ” she look so furious now ” how can he do such a thing to you? That’s unacceptable ”
” Monica” she look at it ” will it be weird for me to say I like Arthur? I know he is arrogant, rude, selfish, horrible but same time he is sweet ”
” Lacey ”
” I think I like him ” sipping from the glass, I shake my head ” I might love him ” she hold my hand and smile
” I understand lacey, I understand”
” Thank you ” clearing my throat, I watch her look at her phone buzzing, a smile taint her lips but she didn’t pick up ” are you dating someone?”
” No?”
” I know you ” leaning close, I look at her and how she heat up ” oh my god, you’re sleeping with someone”
” Is it that obvious?” She gasp ” is it written on my forehead” i couldn’t help but to chuckle
” Who is it ”
” George”
” You mean Arthur assistant?” She nod and I smile ” he seem nice, am sure he is a good guy ”
” Good guy?” Monica gulp down her entire glass ” he is far from good, you know the saying of wolf in sheep clothing, that was made just for him ” watching how worked up she got, I had to ask.
” Do you perhaps, like him?”
” No ” her hands move to her hair ” I just met him three days back, I just like seeing his face, hearing him talk and how dominant he is on bed ” even my own face heat up from that, when we look at each other, we both burst out laughing.
” Oh my god ” I clear my throat ” you’re unbelievable”
” How about you ” she lean close ” have you finally done it?” Bitting my lower lip, I look at her and nod my head ” oh my god ” she gasp.
” What??” That voice startled the both of us, looking back we both stare at Edwin standing right there, why is he here? Is they something he wish to say to me ” lacey ” his feet approach faster than I expected ” you allowed that bastard to touch you ”
” What are you doing here?” Monica yell but that only made him shoot glares her way
” Am not speaking to you ” grabbing my hands, I pull back.
” What do you think you’re doing?” he literally grab me once more and then drag me up stairs, into Arthur room…am sure he doesn’t know, just enter any room of his choice ” lacey ”
Pulling my hand from his, I look at him ” why are you here ”
” To take you away ”
” What are you saying?” Frown creep into my face ” am not going anywhere with you ”
” Don’t tell me you like here, what’s wrong with you?” He move closer ” how can your love for me change so easily? You love me first!!!! Me, lacey….it was me ” I just realized that both Edwin and Arthur has blue eyes, Arthur hair black while Edwin’s blond ” you can’t choose him”
” Am not going anywhere with you ” folding my hands, I move closer ” I don’t care about you anymore and I want you stop with this silly game ”
” Game?” Laughter escape his lips ” you think am in this for your money? Yes, that was the first plan but not anymore, I simply hate the thought of making Arthur happy” he lean close ” Arthur is forever meant to be lonely, he doesn’t need women on his side ”
” What are you saying? Do you like Arthur? Is that why …..”
” Are you calling me gay?” That Must have made him very angry ” don’t be stupid lacey, I simply hate him, I want no one beside him, I don’t want him ever to experience love….do I need to be gay for that?”
” But why?”
” You’re coming with me ” he grab my right hand why I use my left to hold the bed stand, at the edge, with all my life ” lacey ” I bend down, pull my hands out of his, sit on the floor, holding the bedstand.
” Am not going anywhere”
” Let go of that ” he frown, lean close to drag me hand out of it but stop when our face is an inch apart, he look at my eyes, my lips and back to my eyes, I could literally feel his breath on my skin, how long have I been daydreaming this? It’s been so long that I can’t even remember and now that it’s happening….Edwin is trying to take me back, am refusing?
Back then, I won’t care about his goals, all I wanted was for him to embrace me, kiss me and hold me but now, I don’t want this anymore, still yet my heart won’t stop beating….what’s wrong with me?” Why him? Why not me?” For a second he look sad.
Placing my hand on his chest, I wanted pushing him back but couldn’t, why am I hesitating? ” What are you doing?” I gasp
” Come with me lacey, I might be a jerk but far better than Arthur ” images of Arthur flash before my eyes, why are we in this position and that too in Arthur room, shaking my head, I decided to push him away but he kissed me, right at that moment, on my lips.
I didn’t reciprocate, I just remain still, shocked and confused….I don’t like this feeling, is not like when Arthur kiss me, No …it’s different, pushing him back, I part my lips to talk and he kiss me once more, his tongue meeting mine in the process, I just couldn’t believe this.
No matter how hard I try pushing him away, he won’t bulging just kept kissing, I have known Edwin for years, he always told me how he despise kissing and now this?
Successfully pulling back, for a slight second I notice a shadow disappear from the door, was someone watching? My gaze move back to Edwin, he look so confused, hands on his lips while he stare at me ” lacey ” he step back and hold his chest ” excuse me ”
Watching him leave, I remain on the floor, confused. What scares me the most was the fact that someone might have seen what happened, but who? Using my hand to cover my nouth, a huge guilt fall on my shoulders.
If Arthur ever hear of this, what will happen?
Two day has passed, two days of not seeing lacey ” Arthur ” George mumble when we walk out of the meeting hall, my gaze lower to my phone, still no reply from her, is she busy ” would you like a drink ”
” Hmmm” dipping the phone in my pocket, I drag a pack of cigarette out, pull one out, light it and place in my mouth ” drinking is not my thing ” walking out of the company, I look around…..Los Angeles, nothing is even spectacular about this place ” I still have no idea why you fancy it ”
” Smoking is no good either “he replied and I chuckle.
” You have low tolerance for it ” getting into the car, we both sit at the back while the driver take us back to the hotel, drinking has always put me in bad situation, I mean look at how I handled lacey, I wasn’t in my right mind.
” Arthur?”
” Hmmm” my phone buzz, I pull it out and smile at lacey message, already missing me huh.
” Is love at first sight possible?” Hearing those words from his mouth made me drop my phone and look at him, he furrow his brows ” don’t give me that look ”
” George, you are finally in love?” I lean close ” with who ”
” Get off me ” he push me off and I chuckle ” it’s just a harmless question, has nothing to do if am in love or not ”
” You’re hiding it ”
” Am not ” he growl and get off the car the moment we arrived, trying to catch up with him, I followed him into the hotel bar, both sit down in vip section, ten bottle of wine on the table.
” Don’t you think you might drink your life away?” I look at him, his dark eyes always have something in them, I always have issues with what this bastard is thinking.
” You might smoke your life away too ” he frown and I lean back ” I like Monica ” those voice came casually to him ” to be sincere, I have been doing it with her ” and that made me lift my head up and look at him, George has always been like a little brother or a son to me, I could tell something is bothering him ” I know that she enjoys the sex on bed but I think she hates me ”
” George”
” And then, they is that bastard Angelo ” he suddenly look like that little boy from years back again, grab the bottle and gulp it down ” what does that bastard have that I don’t? I even say I will date her ”
” What did you do first ” grabbing my bottle, I took a sip ” did you try talking to her or you decided to use your ultimate move, sex?” He give me a sad look and I exhale ” how many times do I have to tell you, girls always think differently if you two have sex immediately, their thoughts will be if you’re just interested in their body.”
” What’s the difference between a day and a month, the sex will still be same ” he growl ” what if she is with him, having sex with him ”
” George” grab the bottle from his hand, place it on the table and make him look at me, my hands on his shoulder ” am sure she likes you, I mean …..you’re George, good looks, tall ….rich ”
” What about you ” he lean close ” does lacey like you? Even after waiting this long for sex, am sure you haven’t done it yet ”
” Hmmm”
” I knew it !!!” Letting go of him, I watch how he continues to drink his sorrow away, lighting another cigarette, I lean back on the chair, breath in the burn and try to think of something other than woman, I definitely don’t want George to know I have made love to her yet ” I should call her ” opening my eyes, I grab his phone and get up.
” You’re drunk ”
” Give it back ”
” You will say what you will regret” I growl ” trust me, am speaking from experience” that didn’t stop him, I had to run round the room while he was chasing me, when last did we get together and have fun like this? I can’t remember.
” I need to talk to her ” he gasp, trying to catch his breath ” I miss her ”
” You haven’t even known her for a week ”
” I still miss her, hand it over ” I watch him make the call, my gaze lower to lacey message, I haven’t even replied her yet…..love, I know that feeling once, I have loved before, no matter how bizarre it seem. I have felt that before.
Where I can’t stay without hearing her voice, I want to see her everyday, touch her, make her happy, make her laugh…buy her everything she needs, I have felt that before and almost died because of it.
” Love huh ” mumbling, I close my eyes ” can I bring myself to love again?”
” Arthur ” George sit next to me and rest his head on my shoulder ” you’re warm ”
” What are you? ” I yell, feeling surprised” have you turned gay?”
” Let me touch you, just once ” he lean closer ” Monica” oh my god he is confusing me to be her, he might try to kiss……when he drew his face closer I had to punch him.
” help…. someone help” George ended up screaming. Withdrawing I chuckle then pick up my phone, new message? Clicking on it, I step back …..hands clench and mouth dry.
What is this? It has to be fake, lacey won’t do that to me….not after what we did, no she won’t embrace another man….must be fake.
Same number text again, this time it was a video, I stare at it, watch to the very end and my phone fall from my hand, leaving the screen damaged ” Arthur ” George worried voice call out to me but I couldn’t respond.
This has to be fake right?
George pick up my phone and stare at the pictures, ignoring him I grabbed my phone, call lacey number but no respond, she isn’t picking ” I need to go back ”
” Arthur ”
” Schedule a flight to leave tomorrow morning” looking at George, I growl ” I have to get her back ” this time he punch me, spitting blood out I look at him, he stagger backwards.
” Calm down ” George voice high and fill with anger ” have you ever considered the fact that this was how it will end, just maybe, maybe she was never yours to begin with? You have tried for weeks, to go slow on her and now she decides to leave, let her be ”
” I can’t ” sitting down, I run my hands through my hair ” I can’t let her be, lacey, lacey is mine ” clenching my hands I look at George ” I will kill Edwin to prove that, I will kill any bastard that comes between us.”
