I walked to my closet, almost empty closet, but thankfully, I wasn’t worried about a dress for the evening. I had a perfect dress with me. I looked for some makeup and then somebody knocked on my door.
I wondered who was bothering me at this time. Upon opening the door, I didn’t find anyone but I did find a first aid box. I knew who did this.
I lifted the box and turned my face to the side and there he was; Ryker. He smiled by curling his lip up from one side and gave his brows a jerk.
I wanted to give him a smile so bad, but my self-respect made me look away and get inside the room. I knew what was next, his text. It didn’t take much for my phone to ring again.
Ryker: Apply it!
Now that he had started it again, some warms inside me made me drag the subject.
Me: What if I don’t?
Ryker: Just ask if you want a hickey, no need to instigate me.
I was watching Ryker’s face in shock and confusion. Why was he here again? I had seen his interest in this party but I never thought he would follow me here. He was not afraid of being seen with me?"That is my baby!" he mumbled, smiling sweetly at me. I could tell everyone was shocked at the sight in front of them, but I was more astonished at Ryker's confidence, he didn't care about the rumors that are going to be spread around now.That itself made me question my assumptions over his attachment towards me, he was not playing with me it appeared as."Hey, you can come here," Cain knew it was going to be hard for Ryker to stand between hungry girls, who were eyeing him like he was the only cake they needed, he called us inside a room.As soon as I had entered the room, Cain began to question me. I should be the one to question them about Tom and what he did."You never told us anything," Cain asked, it was much quieter in t
I closed my eyes, letting him meet his lips with mine, but my phone rang, interrupting us. I opened my eyes to check my phone, but Ryker wasn’t ready to miss this chance hence he grabbed my hand slightly and made me look in his eyes again.At that moment, I knew it was some random person’s call, interrupting every couple whenever they are up to something steamy. Ignoring my phone, I looked into his eyes. His face was all red, I don't know what was going on but it sure seemed like he was having some urges, so was I, can't really deny that.He tilted his face and brought his face closer, my heart started to beat loudly, I mean it was technically my second kiss, the first one couldn't be even counted as a kiss.I have never been touched this romantically and surprisingly, it was only Ryker, who had touched me except for a little kiss from Cain, months ago. His lips touched mine and a high voltage electric current ran through my body.&n
I was really tired, but something was keeping me awake. I loved it, I loved the taste of his lips. My stomach was having a sensation of giggles and butterflies flying around. I never thought someone as awesome as Ryker would even feel pity for me. I kept exhaling and inhaling comfortably. I checked my phone and there was another text from Cain.Cain: You can answer Meesha but not me, why?He knew why, he knew he did wrong by helping his wicked girlfriend in humiliating me.Me: You did a great job today.Cain: What are you talking about?Oh, okay, so he wanted to play dumb.Me: Tom!Cain: Tom what?I can't believe he was still acting innocent.Me: You and Meesha wanted him to r... Me? Are you serious?I felt the anger inside me like a volcano. They planned it out of nowhere, it wasn't like I was doing them any harm to be treated like that. Even if I did do something wrong, the act they planned was jus
I couldn't sleep for two days and it was really annoying that no one was telling us anything like we were the cause of his accident. Maybe he woke up and saw Scarlet, fell for her again. Yeah! They are back together, she is touching him and helping him. I should have been there with him, but by what relationship? I'm nothing to him and that hurts.I heard a knock on my door and before even opening it, I knew it was Willow, I could hear her talking to someone on the call."Yes, Willow?" I rolled my eyes and opened the door, she hung up and stared at me blankly for a moment. I had bags under my eyes; I hadn’t eaten anything properly. In short, I was going crazy, worrying about Ryker."Ryker is coming today, I got a call from the guard and I really wanna see him, can you help me?" she said everything in a sweet murmur. Ryker was coming, I must see him. It's been days that I have heard his voice, see his face, and above everything, I was glad
I've been taking care of Ryker for weeks now, and honestly speaking, he is recovering real quickly. He got his word across Scarlet about not wanting her in the apartment anymore right after that day. Obviously, she didn't take it well, but she couldn't force him to change his mind.The girls were always sarcastic about this whole situation, they were curious as to why I was the only one allowed in his room, why was I even required by Ryker.I know they must hate me more than before now, especially Willow, who was acting like I stole her boyfriend.I knew this was gonna happen, obviously, being acquired by Ryker and spend time with him was nothing to sneeze at.Spending so much time with Ryker had made me understand him even more. We were growing closer than ever and I, for once in my life, was very happy.I grabbed the hot bowl of soup and placed it for Ryker, who was posting pictures after pictures on Instagram since morning.
I pulled my shirt down in haste, totally forgetting about my bra and fixing myself while Ryker didn't bother to look in Scarlet's eyes.I began to adjust my jeans while avoiding Scarlet's eyes. Ryker had no regret or panic in his tone."I didn't know you were gonna come." he took a deep comforting breath and walked away from me. Slowly reaching his closet to look for the pants that started all this.I could sense Scarlet's eyes stuck at me, her partially parted lips gasping throughout this time in shock.I know it must be hard to see someone who you kept toying with moving on from you. She brought us here to entertain him, I don't know if she had too much trust in her love or too less confidence in any of us girl for stealing him from her."I ---i came to see--- you---" she paused, all of a sudden, "what am I seeing Ryker?" she questioned in a harsh tone.She was no longer in shock, now she sounded mad. I was now just
"I told you I've nothing to be afraid of," I replied, trying not to look weak or scared. But the satisfaction on her face was visible, she knew something.At this point, I was only trying to convince myself that she doesn't know anything but, in reality, she had read the files."Why do you think I picked you?" she repeated, "all you girls were needy. Willow was thrown out of her house by her stepmother and her father isn't even her father, Lacy and Nichole had the same tensions going on and you---" she paused, narrowing her eyes. I didn't know Willow's life was a mess. So even her father wasn't her father?Yeah! All this time, my suspicions were right about her intentions behind picking us."Why did you pick us?" It finally clicked my mind, it was weird how soon after we joined, Ryker finds out about her pregnancy, cheating and she told him about the open relationship idea. She plan
He called her right in front of my eyes and told her to come over tonight. So that was his plan? For her to walk on us while we were doing it?I couldn't believe he would do this to me after coming so far.As soon as he hung up, he looked at my face.His expressions went blank for a moment and then he narrowed his eyes to understand the look on my face."You done yet?" Suddenly, I narrowed my eyes and stared him dead in the eye. My words were not breaking or lacking confidence, I was ready to yell at him even if it means my throat bleeds at the end."What?" He placed his hands on his waist and watched me, confused and totally oblivious."Are you done making her jealous? Because I'm not gonna be your weapon in this game." I announced, not fearing his reaction. Though I was not afraid of him, my voice did crack at the pain of knowing he used me.
