Chapter 25: Chapter 25

"Valeria!." Erica gasped.

She quickly rushed to them and she pushed Noah away from Valeria, not minding if he was ma'am Shiella's son.

"What the fuck!" Noah growled angrily. He was able to hold his stamina, so he didn't fall down.

"Are you okay, Valeria? Is he trying to hurt you? I won't let that happen." Erica whispered breathlessly.

Valeria couldn't believe her eyes, the way Erica reacted shows how much she loves and cares for her.

"I'm fine Erica, he isn't trying to hurt me, we're cool." Valeria said.

Erica was literally breathing heavily. What she saw almost gave her a heart attack.

"Are you okay?" Noah scoffed, but Erica wasn't even looking his way, her attention was only focused on Valeria.

"What is he doing in your room, huh?" Erica asked inquisitively.

"Umm.. actually.." Valeria paused, she didn't even know what to say.

"We're..he.."

"We're friends, like close friends." Noah interrupted and Erica furrowed her brows.

"What! Friends?." She half yelled in disbelief.

Valeria wasn't left out, she was surprised. Did he just say they were friends? When?

"I don't believe this, I told you to stay away from him, right?" Erica said. She couldn't care less about Noah.

So this bitch is the one trying to keep Valeria away from him? Noah immediately became enraged, he felt like punching Erica.

"H.. he..I'm.. don't get it twisted Erica, we.. it's not what you think." She stuttered.

She knew she had done nothing wrong, but she was stuttering like she was caught red-handed doing something wrong. Erica was kind of acting scary now.

"Valeria, you have just started working here. Could you at least give yourself some decency? Don't be flirting around, I saw you with Ergon earlier, now it's him?" She said, pointing at Noah, who stared at her like he would pounce on her any minute.

"Erica, it's not what you think." Valeria tried to defend herself.

"What do you think of me, huh? A child? I'm trying to look out for you but you're just acting otherwise." Erica stated angrily.

For some reason, Valeria felt Erica was taking things too far.

"I'm outta here. I'll see you later, Valeria," Noah said. He left since Erica was already pissing him off.

"I'm sorry Erica, it won't happen again." She apologized even if she hadn't done anything wrong.

"You should avoid them all, including Ergon. No one should be left out," Erica warned.

Valeria stared at Erica, wondering what Ergon had to do with what happened.

"They're bad for you, Valeria, you're too young to be used by them," Erica said.

"But if you insist, you can let them use your pussy. They'll make you a sex addict, you'll lose your body count at a young age. Have you seen Noah's dick? Just imagine a long, fat rod penetrating your pussy. The feeling is out of the world, I'm sure you'll enjoy it." Erica said sarcastically.

Valeria felt cold shivers run down her spine, her face immediately turned pale.

Was sex really that horrible, as Erica explained? She mentally asked.

She prayed she would never get to experience such a problem. In fact, she'll forever remain a virgin.

"I'm sorry Erica." Valeria apologized with her head down.

Erica stared at her for sometime, and sighed deeply.

She sat beside Valeria on the bed, then turned her around to face her.

"Look here Valeria, i get the fact that these guys are drop dead handsome, but please Valeria, do not let them fool you. I keep saying this to you, they can't be trusted, most especially Noah, that guy just wants your pussy and nothing more. Sorry, but I'll have to be blunt here, and I keep thinking of slapping you so hard so as to knock some sense into that head of yours." Erica said, and Valeria couldn't help but smile at Erica's statement.

"Can you tell me something, Erica?"

"Sure, what's it you want to ask?"

"You said I should avoid Ergon. Does this mean I shouldn't trust Ergon either, and why? He didn't seem to be like his brother, so why did you say that?" Valeria asked.

"Dealing with you kids ain't a piece of cake." Erica groaned while Valeria giggled.

"Come on Erica, I'm just being curious."

"Fine, look here, Ergon isn't like Noah, but you can never tell, you can't just trust people like that, and don't tell me you're seeing Ergon. I've been watching you two closely and I see what's going on between you two," Erica said, giving Valeria a suspicious look.

Valeria suddenly started feeling hot, she didn't know what to say to Erica, but she certainly couldn't tell her the truth, or Erica might just murder her right there and then.

"I...I'm not seeing him." She lied.

"Promise?"

Valeria didn't say a word at first, she truly felt bad about lying to Erica.

"Promise." She lied again.

"Good, I'm just trying to look out for you. I wouldn't want you turning out to be like them in the future."

"Thank you Erica, I truly appreciate it." Valeria smiled.

"It's alright, I'll leave now, need to go do something, but I'll see you later," She stood up from the bed and walked to the door, but just as she opened the door, she turned to stare at Valeria one last time.

"Valeria?."

"Yes?."

"Stay away from the Michaelson's, did you hear me?" Erica warned again.

"Okay Erica." She answered, and Erica left.

Valeria heaved a deep, frustrated sigh.

"What do I do now?" She asked no one in particular.

Staying away from Noah wouldn't be so difficult, she guessed, but Ergon was her boyfriend.

"Arrrg, I'm going crazy." She half yelled.

She ruffled her hair, which made her look like a crazy lady. She laid down on her bed, while her thoughts wandered off to the words of Erica.

*****

Noah sat on his bed fuming. He hated what Erica did back in Valeria's room.

"How dare she?!"

She was clearly trying to keep Valeria away from him, but he wouldn't let her."

He would have to do something about Erica, and he needed to do that fast.
