The following Saturday after Russell asked if we could move in together.
'Which I am, of course, excited for. I told him it was better if he stay at my place, which he agreed to. It was mostly because my place was bigger and I didn't want any unexpected visits from Jake or any of his other friends.'
I made sure that there was space for his stuff; I wanted him to be as comfortable as possible. To make sure he had everything he needed and more.
After I got done with cleaning, and putting things together. I got dressed in some black sneakers which I made sure to sand down the bottom so they made no prints.
I dug through my closet until I found a pair of black leggings and a black coat with a pullover to hide my face from anyone who might recognise me.
I took the path I knew all too well, jogging through the small forest that led to Russell's place. When I got there, his stupid friends were. Not helping him, but probably telling him to not move in with
When I got out of his car, I was met with Russell and Felix, who were a little away from each other.When Felix saw me, he rolled his eyes."Hey you two." I smiled."Please don't tell me you called me over here to help your man move into your place." Felix said, exaggerating on the 'your place.'Thank God the delivery truck with the things I ordered came by, so I didn't have to answer Felix.When we got inside, Russell pulled me to the side."So I have been thinking." He paused to pick a dried leaf from my hair."I don't want to move in fully right away, but still-""I totally understand." I cut him off.'I understand that Jake got into your head.'"Ok, it's just that I have got so attached to that place and all this will take some getting used to.""It's not a big deal. I was like that when I moved out of my father's house. It took me two months before I actually slept here.""Thanks for understandi
One would have thought that after Jake had the shit beating out of him, he would have been in hiding.But instead here he was today, following me around as I keep an eye on Isabella.I thought he would still be nursing his wounds, or trying to find a place to live. It's just two days after he almost lost his life. ‘Which he should have.’ But no, he made me his new tragic, maybe to prove to Russell that I am crazy.And the stalker is now being stalked.'Laughable.'I stopped at the usual food truck to get a hot dog and smoothie, the best in the city if you asked me.I sat on the bench that was not too far away after, only doing it to see what Jake would do.I turned slightly in his direction, acting as if I was looking at the big screen. I bit into the hot dog to not laugh as Jake pulled the rim of his hat down his face and ducked out of sight.Poor stupid Jake, he thought, that he was doing such a wonderful job at i
When I got home, Russell was there laying in my bed and scrolling through his phone, I leant on the door post watching him.His eyes met mine after sensing my presence, then he dropped his phone and smiled at me."Hey here." I smiled at him."How was your meeting?" He asked, pushing the covers off.I kicked my shoes off as I walked over, taking his invitation to kiss him."Better than I thought. Let's just say that they took the bait." I told him after pulling away from our brief kiss."Let's go celebrate." I said, taking my royal blue jacket off."What are we celebrating?""Do we need a reason to?""I guess not." Russell smiled, and in no time he made his way over to his closet.'Yes, he has a closet and a few draws for his things.''I want to make him a little space so he could watch his games in peace, but I didn't want him to take that as a cue to have his low life friends over.'"Let me take a s
"One dirty martini, please?" I said after the bartender came over to us."Just a beer." Russell told him.The bartender retreat, and while we waited, a man came up to squeeze between us."Can I get another dark fruit for the wife, please!" He yelled, clearly drunk.He looked at me, "Hello there, pretty lady." He ran his eyes up and down my body. "Chelsea Walker." He said after."Never dreamt of meeting you in person." He gave a little chuckle.Russell wasn't saying anything. In fact, he was staring straight ahead, finding interest in the bottles on the shelf.Seeing that I was looking at someone, the man looking in that direction and gave a laugh."Russell fucking Clinton." He voiced, then clapped him on the back. "Never thought I would ever see you again.""Eddy." Russell nodded at him. Clearly the two had history but Russell was trying to be discreet."Is this your date?" Eddy stepped back so that Russell could
The next morning, I had to make tea for a very hangover Russell, who was throwing up all over my bathroom floor as I speak."One spearmint, coming up." I said, entering my room to where Russell was laying in bed groaning."You are such a doll, babe."I smiled tightly, then placed the mug on the bedside table."Come here." Russell stretched his hands out for me. He held me around the waist then used his other hand to remove the silky lingerie coat I had on from my shoulders. I let it drop and pool to the floor."You are so damn sexy." Russell said, gripping me around the waist and pulling me closer to him.Russell kissed me hard, then twisted his hand in my hair and yank my head back forcefully."You are the best. Thanks for taking care of me. I don't know what came over me yesterday."''That's alright, Russell. You should drink your tea before it gets cold. I'm going out." I pulled away from him."No, where are you going
When I got to work the following Monday, and got to my office, all I could hear was Wendy talking about a date she have with some hot guy."Who is the lucky guy?"She winked at me.'This bitch.'"Even though you won't tell me, I hope you have a grand time." I told her, not really meaning it."Oh, I will. We hit it off the first day we met. He was so in to me, even had sex the first day too."I tried to hide the look on my face, but Wendy must have picked up on it because she gave me a look, then said."Don't go judging now. To me, it doesn't matter if you wait a day or months to have sex with someone. If you connect, you connect."'If you are a whore, just say so.'But instead I said, "I have nothing to say. Anyway, have those papers on my desk by noon.""Oh, I had to ask. Can I get a promotion?""To what?""Well-""Don't start, there it's a no. It's not even like there is any position opened
I didn't even make it to my office when Wendy stopped me to tell me about her date."I must thank you for your expertise in dressing me. He couldn't keep his eyes off me and I swear, we were basically fucking right there in the bar.""That's nice." I told her, then went to my office where I locked the door and got to work.I was never one to gossip or care about what happened in anyone's sexual life.Right now, all on my mind is to figure out what is happening at the plant, and how 50 million dollars was almost stolen from our business account.I feel as if this was sabotage, maybe a mole from the competition finding their way in our company.I checked all the accounts, and saw that all the monies were still there, but someone was trying to tamper with it.As if they don't know that we can see all that was happening, as if all transactions didn't have to go through us first.An email popped up from my father, saying meeting now
One month, three weeks. That's how long Russell had been staying at my place, and on the beginning of the second month, he began to act suspicious.Began to stay out late, picked arguments with me for no reason and said I was suffocating him.He would also ask me for money one too many times. The first time I had given him, he claimed it wasn't enough. And would get mad when I refuse to give him anymore.But I know what the problem is. It's Jake. Always was, always will be.For a while Jake have been missing, dealing with his divorce but now, he was back. And he was getting in your head again.Not only was he trying to keep you from me, he was also introducing you to various females. Many of which I had to warn off, mostly because Jake took it up on himself to make it seem as if my house belonged to him or you.I even heard him tell you to look over your shoulders wherever you go, because I was always following you around.As if you k
