I sat on the bed after taking a shower, mad at myself for acting so miserable. The worst part wasn’t even me being jealous of thinking he will be out with Willow, God knows doing what, but that I was well aware of why he was acting up. He just wanted to get back at Scarlet, I was only a tool being used in his game of vengeance, and yet I was falling.
I recalled how cute his smirk was when he was listening to the girls today and pretended to be unaware of the surrounding, but now Willow will get to see his smile and even trap him. Wait! Why am I being jealous? Shouldn't Scarlet be fueling up, he belongs to her and not to me.
I was over here burning my own self and Willow over there was getting ready like it was her date. She must be planning something. As for Ryker, always feeling horny, will definitely hit on her.
We stood there watching them getting intimate.''Look who's back, why did she come back?'' Willow whispered, looking at them as they romantically made out in front of us. I could hear the hidden anger and frustration in her voice. What she didn’t know was that Scarlet wouldn’t even care who her boyfriend sleeps with.''She is his girlfriend and our boss too,'' I replied, not wanting to look at them. They pulled back and started uttering something. I would be lying if I say I wasn’t feeling a bit of jealousy.''I don't like her; she is faking her love for him,'' Willow muttered in her mouth and pulled her nose. It was weird how Willow’s observation made me agree with her inside my head. We both adjusted our posture when finally, Scarlet turned her attention to us.''Hey girls, where are you coming from?'' She approached us while Ryker stayed behind and had his head in his phone's screen like he didn't care. Does he not r
''AAAAAHHHHH!'' I let out a not very loud gasp and sat straight in my bed. It felt so real, I bet if I see myself in the mirror, I will see signs of fingers around my neck. I held my hands on my chest to calm myself down, but then something happened.''It was just a nightmare, you are fine!'' I heard someone talking from beside me in bed. I swirled my head to stare at the person, I bet I had slept alone, then where did this guy come from, and who was he?''Ryker?'' I rubbed my eyes and slapped my forehead. ''Why are you in my room?'' so he was the shadow in my nightmare and that strangulation thing was just the impact he left on my brain in my sleep.I was watching his face in shock and disbelief, why does he feel like he is invited in my room every night?''A simple thanks would suffice.'' he rolled his eyes, mending the sleeves of his coat which seemed like he was about to take off.''Thank you for breaking into my room,'' I muttered, gritting my
''What are you doing?'' I growled, making a tights balls of my hands. He dropped his shirt down from the bed with his coat and slipped under the blanket once again.“What! You reminded me I can’t sleep like that,” he mumbled from under the blanket, ''you are lucky I'm not taking off my pant tonight, otherwise, remember I sleep naked.'' Popping only his face out of the blanket, he yawned and said the whole sentence quickly. He closed his eyes shut and rubbed his face on the pillow, my pillow.
"You all have been given quite a satisfactory amount of time to pick a dress for a presentation," Scarlet announced, watching our faces. We were standing before Scarlet in a line in the boutique, we were advised to wait for our time and then go upstairs, get ready, and come back from a walk.Nichole wasn't present among us and I was standing there wondering if she has informed Scarlet about her departure.Since Scarlet didn’t announce Nichole’s egress, I pondered if Nichole would get in any trouble regarding the contract they have made us sign for this job.Now about me, I've to come up with an excuse for not taking part in the task because Nichole would ask me about the bonus money and what I did with it. Damn! Why didn't I think about it earlier?We were standing down in the boutique, waiting for Willow to wear the dress for her presentation and walk do
I was let known by some delivery guys that the couch, I purchased is at my door. First of all, I didn’t have any money to get a couch, second of all, I didn’t order any."Don't scratch the dressing." I slapped my forehead and guided the boys who were placing the couch in my room. I didn't order anything and it was already paid for by someone. I had the slightest idea about this case, might be Ryker's doing.I mean, who else would do something like that for me? But why a couch?"She said I do want to help you after handing me a few dollars and look at her buying herself a new dress and couch." Nichole mimicked, standing outside my door while the guys were leaving. Both Lacy and Nichole were peeking in my room like it was their business."That must be the guy who gave her a hickey." Lacy rolled her eyes, bitter over someone else living her life. These girls were the worst I swear. The audacity of Nichole to lie to me and not be ashamed is
The next morning, he was already gone when I was still asleep. He had told me to bring the dog from Cain the first thing in the morning and then give him a call. So I slept peacefully after he carried that burden away from my chest.I woke up late because we had a day off and then it reminded me of Cain, if I didn’t tell him I will keep his dog for a few days, he will try to locate me. Since Ryker has told me that he knows this guy who can help me, I can ask Cain to not take any unnecessary steps to find my location.It is also best to stay on the good sides with Cain and Meesha even when I don't want to. I decided to leave him a text.Me: Hey, I just asked my Boss and she is fine with me taking care of your dog. If you still want to, you can tell me a place to meet you.As soon as the text was sent, he replied instantly. So he was waiting for my reply.Cain: Sure. Just meet me at the same cafe
This job was literally the dream job, we don't have to do much and we were paid enough along with the place to crash. I still thought that Scarlet brought us here to engage Ryker with us.I understand she helped me with the Tipsy situation, but then I remembered how Ryker had helped me before as well when he wanted to crash in my room. So, in conclusion, these rich people only help you when they need something from you.That could just be a theory, but we don't know what
I didn't want him to bother me again. My world was already falling apart and his adversary can cost me double the harm. I have to cut off ties with people who were the subject of my pain, I have to remain positive in this negative environment. Plus, tomorrow was the big day, I was going to see my brother, I would not l
