Chapter 6: Chapter 6
Something is ringing, is it the door? No! I can remember this song ringing over and over but am too lazy to get up. Has Taylor already made breakfast? Cause I'm really hungry this morning. Wait! Why am I not dress? And who is that beside me? And is my phone ringing?
I open my eyes and see a strange ceiling, that's not my room! I look at my hand and realize they are joined with a male's hand, I turn my face to see who it is and sees Derick. Oh shit! I now remember what happened yesterday. My phone continues ringing, I get my hands violently from his causing him to get up slowly before yawning. I look at him with a dirty look and realize my phone is still ringing. I remove the cover from him and enroll around me before rushing to my bag and remove my phone. I look at the person's name on my phone and shit! It's Allan!
" A...Allo!" I say nervously.
" Where are you?" He asks me with a brutal voice sounding like he was angry, literally angry!
" Umm, well! Am with a friend!" I say.
Oh shed! I am lying to Allan, how did I end lying to him.
" How? When I left you in front of your building yesterday myself!" He say.
" Oh, umm…"
" Who is that?" Asks Derick getting up from the bed.
" Shuttt!" I say covering the phone for Allan not to hear and asking Derick to stop the noise." Yes! That's true Allan, but he...I mean she called me and...and told me she needs my help urgently so I hurry to her." I continue justifying myself to Allan.
" And where was your phone?" He asks.
" ...in charge!" I say rapidly.
" All the night?"
" Yeah!"
" You know what, just come home have you forgotten we had to go somewhere?"
Fuck!, I forgot that, it snatched from my head. Okay be calm and be careful with what you will say, Lea.
" Noooo! No, no of course not. I will be there in 15minutes."
" Hurry up she is traveling very soon."
I agree and get off the phone. I start checking for my bra and pant but don't see them. Suddenly I see them hanging in front of my face like a flag by Derick. I try to take it but he doesn't seem to want to give it to me. I get annoyed and finally take it but he pushes me into the bed and looks at me. I try to get from him but no way.
" Get out Derick!" I say annoyed.
" Stay with me, princess!" He say with a charming voice.
Princess! It has been a long time I didn't hear him calling me like that for so long. I admit it makes me feel some chills, but I have to go, I feel very guilty about what I did to Allan. I betrayed him!
" No!" I say pushing him on one side before getting up and getting dress.
" So Allan calls you and you hurry as if he was on fire?" He says.
" Yes Derick and please forget what happened this night, I was...I was not in a good state."
He comes behind me and arranges my bra and turn to look at me deeply.
" But you weren't drunk, you had all your mental abilities, you even had the right to leave...but you preferred to stay with me, tightly in my hands all night. That what we dreamed one day, do you remember? Spend all the night together and not only an hour or two!" He says caressing my arm delicately and slowly provoking me cold chills.
" Stop! Derick, I have to go!"
I continue to dress until I finally finish, thank God my dresses are dry. He gets out of bed at the same time as me with his black Calvin Klein pants- like only dress. I ignore the fact and tie my hair to finally go.
" Is he more important than me?" He asks frustrated.
" Yes Derick, cause he is my boyfriend!" I say annoyed while opening the door to go.
" WHAT!" He shouts while following me.
" Get into the room and dress up!" I say yelling at him.
" Everyone has already seen a boy in pants don't worry. And how can he be your boyfriend, I thought you were waiting for me?" He says.
" Ohh sorry Mr. Smith I didn't know that I had to wait for you for over four years without making up my life. I decided to be with him. After all, I was tired of waiting for you, because the day I accepted to restart my life, was the day you came back!"
" So you lie to me! I thought I was the only boy who ever touched you!" He yells.
" I wasn't lying, no! You are the liar, a big liar!" I continue yelling before turning and going.
" You know what, fuck you!" He shouts behind me.
" Fuck you too !" I said still going and showing my middle finger up for him to see.
What a dick! I can't bear that. How dare he hesitate about the fact he was the only one who touched me? Let him go to hell and never come again you mother fucker!
I take a taxi and hurry to the building. Because of him, I spend more than 15minutes there, I betrayed Allan, because of him I will never get the power to look at Allan after that...because of him, I think I realize he will never get out of my life cause he still has an effect on me, a great effect.
I stop the taxi in front of my building and sees Allan already entering his car to go. I step out of the car, hurry up to him while shouting his name to stop.
" Allan! Am I late?" I say panicking.
" Yes," he says, furious and ready to open his car once more.
" No, wait?!" I hold the car's door.
" Please Lea not now, let me go am very disappointed right now." He says sadly.
I prefer he yells at me rather than telling me such things so calmly. Am afraid he take a bad decision concerning us or worse, that he hates me.
" Am sorry Allan!" I say leaving him the way to go.
" Me too!" He says more disappointed.
I feel as tears want to come out of my eyes seeing him going with such a face and a bad impression of me. If ever he knew what I did, he would never forgive me.
I get to my apartment and Taylor opens the door after I ringed. I sigh! While being so scandalized by the way my life begins to be horrible and difficult. I thought it would be nicer since I had realized my dreams but seems life wants to teach me a lesson, but which lesson? I sit on the sofa of the parlor still thinking about all this, Taylor hangs to me water and I take it, swallow it at once as if it was a glass of whisky cause, yes, right now I need to get drunk just to forget everything.
" Tell me now, where were you?" She asks.
" With Derick! I told Allan he invited me and Allan didn't want me to go but…"
" But you still went cause curiosity is your surname." She says ironically.
I show her my middle finger and smirk a little, Taylor is the only one who can make me change my mind for some seconds that is why I don't hesitate to tell her everything.
" And now I slept with him, I betrayed Allan can you imagine?" I say scandalized.
" Yes, I can perfectly imagine the athletic body of Mr. Smith naked." She say while chuckling.
I chuckle and pat her.
" I can't be serious with you," I say.
" Sometimes, no need to be serious especially when there is nothing serious to say."
" What do you mean Taylor?"
" I mean everything is clear, You are forcing everything with Allan, and with Derick no need to force, it's natural!"
It is like a revelation Taylor made to me, it is like a fact! I was blown up by reality but I refuse to see it. I prefer to force myself rather than being an idiot. I need to think, to breathe a little.
" Give me the car keys, I have to take some air!" I say while she gives me the key.
I get up and go to the parking of the building and start my car. I on the radio for some music to sound in my ears. Nothing is more relaxing than music for me. I continue driving until I hear a police car ringing behind me. I look at the rearview mirror of the car and it seems they want me to stop. I park conveniently and a policeman asked me to get down my car glass.
" Good morning Madam!". The policeman says.
" Good morning!" I reply.
" Is it your car?"
" Yes sir!"
" Your papers please and your ID!"
I get out the document asked and he checks everything before giving me.
" Can you get down? I have to control the car. Don't worry is a normal procedure."
I don't think what he said really calms me but I don't have the choice, always obey before complaining. I get out of the car and he checks it.
" What is this madam?" He says showing me a sachet of powder drugs, like cocaine.
" No!...no that is not to me," I say, very afraid of what was happening.
Wondering what will happen to me, I deny I didn't take such things.
" But this is your car right?"
" Yes but… I don't take such things, you can make a test, I don't know!" I say pleading him to listen to me.
But in vain. He put a handcuff around my hands while telling me my rights. I am afraid but fortunately, there weren't many people in the quarter where I drove cause it would be worse if this was in the newspaper by tomorrow I enter the policeman's car and we go to the police station! This day started very badly!
