THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY NINE
On the drive back to my house, I was harassed further about filing a report against Tony, but I didn't see sense in doing so because it would involve a great deal of bother and specifics for nothing. People spotted me in the club snogging him while I was dealing with him, and they thought I was enjoying the attention I was getting. Who would believe that a lady who had been all over him earlier in the night wouldn't be gagging for it? That's how I know these dickheads will get away with it. Who would believe that a woman who had been all over him earlier in the night wouldn't be gagging for it?Rory has also been messaging me; he's at some event at a farmers market today, so he's able to text more than he normally would. It's great to know that he cares; he represents the ideal man in many ways. It's no surprise that Jennifer wants to maintain her relationship with him because who could blame her?After the events of yesterday night, Kerry is brought to my house with me since I believ
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY
I keep my mouth shut, and the three of us dine in complete quiet. Kiran foots the cost when the check arrives, and we get up and leave. It isn't until we are in the car that I feel this **** has to be beaten out of me. I don't care. If he finds out about Rory, my life will be much simpler."Kiran, please read this message.""Yeah, I'd think it's quite straightforward, wouldn't you say so?""It's a guy I've been seeing, but as you may have learned through Ben, our relationship isn't serious; I was kissing another guy over the weekend. Oh my gosh, I am beginning to sound like such a hoe because of this.He looks in my direction while he does so. "All right, if the glove fits." Bastard!"What the heck is going on? Are you upset with the fact that I'm seeing someone else?""I am fucking upset with you, Darcy! I thought we were going to give this a go!"You were seen kissing another person a few days ago. You stated that now was the time for us to take time for ourselves and become single.
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY ONE
I don't understand. Not only did I never get women, but also, this was insane. There are a lot of questions that are going through my head right now. One of them is: Has she been playing a joke on me the whole time, and when she finally caught me, she ran away? Is she involved in a predicament of some kind? Is there something that Kiran has done? The last thing she mentioned was that he had found out; I have no idea if he's a psychopath or not!After making a few phone calls and sending her a few texts but not receiving a response from her, I am at a loss on what further I can do. As I lay in bed, my eyes are drawn to a little watermark on the ceiling of my bedroom. I have never paid attention to it in the past, but now it is driving me completely nuts. When the ten minutes are up, I have no choice but to get up and continue looking into the stain; I turn on my lamp and stand on the bed. There is a possibility that I have a leak, which is yet another issue that I will have to deal wi
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY TWO
I fumble into the house after unlocking the door and allowing it to crash shut behind me as I enter. Before I let go of my luggage, I set it down on the ground. My entire body is trembling, and I have no idea what Rory is trying to accomplish here.Who dares to show up like this after months have passed with no prior warning?He screams the name "DARCY." As I look, I notice his body leaning against the glass panel that runs down the side of the wooden frame, making it increasingly difficult to catch my breath. My palm goes over my lips as I think about it."Rory, what exactly are you doing in this room?" I inquire while looking through the see-through glass. He cannot see me when I touch the area where his hair is pressed against the pillow.I have an intense want to get my hands on him.He responds, "As of just this moment, I am a bona fide resident of Manchester."Is it true that he relocated here? Why?After giving myself a few moments to gather my thoughts, I eventually opened the
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY THREE
Even after a long soak in the tub and three gins, my thoughts are still racing, and Rory is the subject of almost everyone. Half an hour ago, he texted me, but I could not force myself to read it; nevertheless, I am now prepared to do so."Hey, that was uncomfortable; I hope I haven't messed it up!"In response, I pull out my lower lip, but it turns out that my reaction is only a shock reflex. Now that the first shock has worn off, I regret telling him to go."No, I'm sorry, it surprised me," she replied. I was at a loss for words regarding my response."I should have kept you updated. I believed you would attempt to stop me," she said. "I assumed you would try to stop me.""All I have ever wanted was for you to be close to me, but I didn't want you to give up everything for me. I can't offer you everything you want because I have a lot going on, and I need to focus on Lucas.""As long as you're in my life, I'll take what I can get" is something that people often say."OMG, where have
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR
At work, all I can think about is Rory and that belt—how he took it out of his jeans and created handcuffs for himself by buckling the belt around his hands. Fuck me. I can't stop thinking about that. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps, and I have to bite down on my pen to keep my excitement in check."Hello, earth to Darcy," Kerry yells, jerking me out of my thoughts and bringing me back to the present."I'm sorry. May I ask what that was?” I ask."What the devil could have happened to make you smile like that?" She questions. I wasn't even aware that I was smiling; it was just so difficult to keep from doing so whenever I thought about him. I have come to the conclusion that I have no choice but to share this piece of knowledge with Kerry."If I tell you something, will you promise to keep your judgments to yourself and let me figure things out on my own?""Holy sh*t, what in the hell have you gotten yourself into?I smile and ask, "More like who,"She gets up, walks over
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
The next half an hour is spent looking out over the inky black waters that surround Southeast Asia. As I flip through the channels on the television, looking for something else to watch, I observe, "Well, those ugly things have put me off deep-sea diving.""If I use the restroom in your house, will I wake up, Lucas?"" Rory inquires.I chuckle and say, "No, that kid could sleep through an atomic blast."As he walks out of the room, all he is wearing is his jeans, and I watch him leave. It's kind of him to want to hang out with me and do nothing more than speak and watch TV, but the truth is that I'm so intrigued by him that all I can think about is stripping him down. When he returns, I try to engage him in conversation, but it feels strange. We discussed the recently moved into the apartment. He gives a pleasant-sounding account of the things he has recently acquired. He is employed at an engineering firm located a short distance away, and he stated he is having a good time there. Wh
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
My thoughts keep returning to Rory even as I sit here with Lucas, watching reruns of Peppa Pig at seven in the morning. I woke up three times during the previous night to check my phone, but there was no communication. It scares me that I might have to be the one to give in."I am sorry about what happened last night." I text. When it shows as read, it takes me by surprise. After that, I am irritated when he does not answer for more than half an hour."Me too. Are we still planning on getting together tonight?"I give some thought to keeping him waiting, but the truth is that I'm trying to avoid these kinds of games and all the drama that isn't necessary. So I immediately responded to his text with, "Yes, 7 pm?""Until then, x," you said. The tone of a text message can be easily misunderstood. I prefer the traditional method of calling someone; you can learn much more from their voice than from a text message.I'm looking forward to the date tonight, but at the same time, I can't help
