TREYI shift on the bed uncomfortably and scoff in irritation. I have lost count of how much turning I have done so far. I can’t sleep. I don’t remember the last time I slept well. Reason?Frankie Thomas. It’s a whole week since I heard from her. Since she left with Aiden David. The guy I hate so much took my woman. It’s my fault. I'm to blame for all this.My calls go unanswered. She doesn’t text me back no matter the countless texts I have sent her. She even changed her number but I managed to get it.I’m not giving up on her. Trey Jones doesn’t give up on something he wants and Frankie happens to be one of them. She brought the best in me. She made me happy. She made me change in some aspects and now I have lost her because of Greg. He just brought out the worst in me and as I said before, he is going to pay. Even if I do that with the last penny, he is worth it.I reach for my phone on the nightstand and dial Aiden’s number. This is business. I know he is interested in Greg to
FRANKIEI'm busy with some document when I catch a whiff of some expensive, familiar cologne. I look up to see Trey looking down at me and sigh heavily.“What are you doing here Trey?”“I wanted to know how you are doing. I miss you.”“Apart from the fact that the man I loved most in the world killed my baby, I’m okay.” I say with I glare. I don’t know what I feel. Some mixed feelings where I don’t know whether I hate him or love him. I’m angry. Furious with him for what he did but I still have strong feelings for him. There is that slight hope that all this is a nightmare and I will wake up from it. I don’t want to believe this is true. No. It’s a dream and will be over soon.“Baby I’m sorry. Give me another chance. I wanna make you happy. I wanna make you the envy of other women. Give you the life you deserve. One last chance, please.”“Unfortunately, you ran out of those chances. What makes you think I didn’t do the illegal business knowingly.”“I know you didn’t. I should have
It’s Friday. Stacy’s party at their place and I wonder how I’m going to survive that with Trey there. I don’t want to go but I promised Stacy that I would be there. What more? She is supposed to pick us up. By us, I mean Celine and I.I step out of the bathroom and widen my eyes at Aiden who is on my bed. I wrap the towel tightly around me and give him a smile.“Hey?” I greet and walk to the closet.“Hey Frankie. Going to Stacy’s party?”“Yap. She is picking us in a few.”“Do you think it’s advisable with Trey there? Remember what he did.”“Don’t worry about him. I'm going there for Stacy and I will avoid him as much as I can.”“Maybe you can skive and we hangout together. I miss hanging out with you.”“Maybe tomorrow.” “I will let you go. If you need me don’t hesitate to call me.”“I will. Thanks a lot.”He stands and walks towards me. He kisses my forehead and steps out after one glance. I let out a heavy sigh and take the dress that I’m supposed to be wearing tonight out of the cl
I walk down the hallway and into Stacy’s room. I look around the big room but she is not here. Maybe she is in the bathroom or the balcony.“Stacy!” I call walking towards the balcony door. She is not here so that gives me the last option. The bathroom.“Stacy!” I open the bathroom door but she is not in. Where is she?I step out and gasp when I see who is standing at the door. “What are you doing here and where is Stacy?” I ask walking towards him but he shuts the door and leans against it, with his foot propped on the door. “I want to leave.” I say firmly.He wraps his arms around his chest and looks at me. The intense and foggy look that melts my heart away. Even with all the anger I have towards him, he has a huge effect on me.“Stacy isn’t here. Wanted to talk to you. Away from that noise.”“So you used Stacy and Celine?”“Yeah. Why are you doing this to me? ” He walks towards me making me step back. “Why are you making me go through all this pain?” he asks still walking toward
He shifts us on the bed so that he is lying underneath me. He cups my face in his hands and continues kissing me. I fumble with his shirt buttons and manage to unbutton the whole shirt. He sits on the bed not breaking the kiss and shrugs it off. He stops and tugs on my lip sensually.“I want you so bad.” He whispers rubbing his forehead on mine.“I want you too.” I reach for his pants but he grips my hands and turns us again on the bed, so that I’m back beneath him.“You are driving me crazy. I miss this.” He whispers and pulls my dress higher than it was. He runs his hands on my bare legs giving me butterflies in my stomach. I shut my eyes as he takes his hand upper until he reaches my groin then stops.“Please.” I whisper not opening my eyes.“Please what?” I can feel him smirking.“Don’t stop. I want this.”“Open your eyes then. I wanna see how beautiful they are.” I do as told but attempt to look away when his pierce mine. He lets out his signature chuckle and cups my face in his
Stacy gives me a suspicious look making me roll my eyes at her; something I have been doing a lot since I started having the girlish look.“What? Why are you giving me that look?”“I’m waiting for the story. Apart from the fact that you two shagged on my bed. Eeew! I need to change everything.” She scrunches her nose making me laugh.“Come on. There are no genital fluids on your sheets.” I say jokingly.“I will have to change. How did you reconcile. Played a game on you and thought it wouldn’t work out.”“Thanks for doing that by the way.” I glare at her and end up laughing.“I wanted you to get back together.” She laughs giving me an adorable look. “Waiting.”“We shouted at each other. We were so mad and I told him I hated him.”“Really?” she laughs. “I know you don’t.”“I don’t. Wanted to let out all my anger. He said that was a lie and pushed me to the bed and here we are.” I say with a grin.“Yeah, here you are. With tattered knickers on the floor. My floor.” She grins. “You two a
She swirls the drink in her glass glaring at me. Am I going to fight with her over Trey? Nope. I don’t wanna do this.“Jenny, right?” My voice is laced with sarcasm. “What do you want?”“For you to stay away from Trey. You don’t belong to our class.”I can’t believe she has the audacity to tell me this. There has never been anything between her and Trey.“Oh! Really now?”“Yap. Stop throwing yourself at him. He doesn’t love you. That’s why he made you his help. Go back to Aiden. You are better off working as a help.”“I can see you know a lot about me.” I take a sip of my margarita and look at her, with amusement.“Leave this party. I will pay you. I will give you any amount you want to leave Trey alone. He belongs to people like us. People with class and you are not part of our word.”“I see.” I chuckle and take another sip of my drink.“How much do you need to disappear? Name your price.”“So you are serious about this?” I laugh and cross my legs.“Yap. I want Trey and you are in t
He cups my boobs and kisses my hair.“Waiting baby.”“Don’t do that. I won’t concentrate.” I say knowing well what he does to me.“Okay.” He chuckles and uncups my boobs wrapping his arms around me.“My real name is Isa.”“Isa? What about Frankie?”“Frankie is my street name. I changed the name when mum died and I had to go to the streets.”“I’m sorry baby.”“Don't be.” I rub his arms and take a deep breath. “I come from a poor background. I know what it means to go hungry. My dad was a drunkard who would come home drunk and beat mum up. My brother, Jim, couldn’t take it and ran away. I had no idea where he was until few months ago when he came to Lex looking all shaggy.”I pause to let it sink in.“One day, dad came home drunk. I heard a scream and went to protect mum but he hit me and left angry. He came back later and got into an argument with mum then stabbed her.” I swallow heavily. Trey rubs my arms and raises my right hand. He kisses the knuckles and takes a sharp breath.“He
