" Esmeralda," Titus voice had called from over the phone, "Esmeralda," I muttered to myself.
Titus only called me that when he was up to something not good, Esme he'd call me whenever he wanted to show off to his friends that my name had the same beauty as my face.
I'd called him earlier this afternoon to announce that I was done with my last paper for university. No doubt I'd pass, I'd been a straight-A student since freshman year. That added to another one of his pride.
" She's the perfect girlfriend," he'd say to all of them and I always blushed in his love for me until I realized I wasn't his perfect girlfriend at least to some extent.
I'd waited in line for four hours to get the 'lover's cake', it was popularly said that whoever got to have a taste of it with their other half, would be together forever.
Finally, I was handed my cake, inscribed on it, "Will you be my first" I could see the red blush on the baker's face seeing what I'd asked to be inscribed on it.
" Thank you," I said before walking away, heading to meet Titus.
The glares from the old Lady beside his room should have been enough to warn me about what I was about to see but they weren't a physics or chemistry problem I could solve in a minute.
I gave a curt bow and headed into the dorm room, and from a distance, I could hear the loud moans and groans of two people. I'd thought he was watching porn again, but who'd watch porn on loudspeaker. Only Titus could, so I shrugged and went ahead with the cake in my hand.
The loud banging and the sounds of moaning got louder as I got closer but I refused to assume so I took the keys out and unlocked the door to the worst image I'd ever seen.
On our bed, my pink duvet was Titus and my step-sister Raina stark naked. The moans were from Raina while the groans were from Titus. My legs wobbled and the cake in my hand fell to the floor unapologetically, it's loud sound doing nothing to bring me out of the trance I'd fallen into.
The shock on both their faces was only there for a brief moment, it was as though they knew I'd find out eventually but not in this manner.
Neither of them made any attempts to cover their bodies and I just stood shocked and appalled.
" Can you get out, we're in the middle of something," Raina said, my eyes shifted to her and nothing but a victorious look spread across them.
" Titus," I called but he shrugged his shoulders and stood up, his penis dangling in between his thighs.
"Get out Esme," he said after Raina.
" But, but why, why'd you do this Raina, I spoke, my voice shivering with unidentified emotions.
" Because, Esme, you've always seen yourself as a saint while I'd been the black sheep of the family, mom's always yarning about how beautiful and intelligent you're."
Every fucking person Esme, everyone has always overshadowed me." She yelled at me pointing her hands while her breasts dangled down heavily from her chest.
" Don't heat baby, we need to reserve your strength for later," Titus spoke leaving my front to go back to her.
" But I haven't done anything, Raina, you're the one who's always getting the good things, mom never prioritizes me, when was the last time I wore anything good, I'm the one who had to work to fend for all of us and if at all, I get anything for myself you're always taking it, be it my shoes, my dresses, bags and now my man," I spoke the last word with my tears coming out as I choke.
My head was banging like the sound the two of them made Before I interrupted, and I fell back into the mush of cake that had fallen to the ground.
" But Titus, I'd been honest with you, has never gotten together with anyone except for you, why Couldn't you choose anyone else, instead you chose Raina, my sister?" My voice came out more like a whimper.
" Because Esme, you haven't done anything for me, I'm a man, Esme, do you know how many times I've had to watch porn And jerk off to my hands, I've to Esme watch my friends brag about how their girl got sore from having sex with them, and how great their blow jobs were. But you Esme, I've gotten nothing from you. He said as he held my duvet around his waist.
" How dare you say that Titus, I did your assignment, stood out at night for you to get concert tickets for you and your friends, I'd made meals for you, taken you to dinner with my own fucking money, I took you out, bought you meals and every fucking piece of clothing you've was brought by me," I said with tears rolling down my face.
" I didn't ask you to do any of those Esmeralda," his words were accompanied by the loud rumble of thunder.
"I never asked you to do any of those, you do them because you wanted me to reciprocate." Because you've never gotten the love of a man Esme that was why you hung so tightly to me." He said and I watched as he poured it all out, he had never wanted to be with me, but he knew I was gullible, and a good ATM.
" Get out Esme, I don't want you to ruin the mood for Raina and me, he said Again, mashing his legs into the cake on the ground, he opened the door and threw me out of the room despite the pouring rain outside.
" Titus", I screamed from outside the room, stranded, heartbroken, I stepped out into the rain, whatever was going to happen should happen.
EsmeTodd stood beside his car, looking even more devastating than usual with a black tuxedo, his perfectly wavy hair, and his clean-shaven face.He could pass as a movie star on his way to the Oscars." Princess," Todd called as I walked down from the office terrace into his car." I know that you did well today," he said with a kiss on my lips.A tingle of surprise spread across my skin, mixed with curiosity at the white box in his hands before he slid it into his pocket.There was in the car, a pale blue rectangular box, large sized, tied with a silky bow that covered its logo.“Do not be distracted by its beauty,” I said in an internal soliloquy."I'll take you home to get dressed, I've gotten everything you need and if I haven't told me, I'll get it done for you," he'd said." I trust you," I replied with a smile and nestled closer into his body while the driver drove off.A hairstylist was in the room, I was sure I'd seen her somewhere on a billboard or magazine, but couldn't re
ToddThe thoughts of Esme telling me she loved me too, kept recurring in my mind.And when I asked if she'd marry me, she fucking said Yes.I realized that I looked at her as though she was the first person from whom I knew what love was.I'd die for her, and for me she would do same. To live and make sure I never fail was my life's motto but now it was to make sure I lived for Esme Ames, to give her the love we both never got.The driver ignited the car and drove back to the office, and I met Adam already waiting for me at the door." How's it going? where's he? I asked settling down."We've located where he is and we've kept tabs on his every move, however, we're refraining from letting him know that we know where he is, he's also making some small moves, to attack..."" What color do you think would fit Esme the best," I asked abruptly." Um Mr. Todd," he struggled to speak as he ran his hand through his hair."Never mind, I'm going to get her dressed for the fundraising, stay her
EsmeHe scrambled over to where I was. Holding my legs in his hands, he placed them on his thighs and held his hands around them." Here," he said as he massaged. I nodded my head incoherently as he worked his hands on them." Sorry butterfly," he drew me in and kissed my forehead before laying me back on the bed." How's it?" he asked." Better. How did you learn how to do those? Don't tell me you learned it during boring meetings," I said with a teasing chuckle." No It wasn't during Boring meetings, I created time for it, I met the doctor and he told me that cramps aren't inevitable, so I did learn for you," he answered and I stared amazed by his words." I'm sure you'll make a good dad someday," his head jerked at my words." I'll make their good dad, out babies, I'll make their good dad and you'll make the best mother," he corrected.I nodded and smiled at his words stretching my arms out for a hug.His face formed into a crescent smile as he took in and carried me off the bed."
EsmeI finished my session with the last client of the day and stood to work out of the office to my car.Rita had left with Adam after she was done rambling to me about how her wish of having two hot men to deliver food by her door." Paying in kind." Was what she tagged as her mode of payment.I laughed it off with a wave of my hands and sent her out of my office since she kept talking about Adam." Pshh, as if you and Mr. Todd aren't the same. I've seen the way he looks at you. it's as though he'd kill anyone who dares to stare longer than 3 seconds at you," she continued.I shook my head in rebuttal to her words and pushed her out of my office." I'm sleeping over at Todd's," I told her and was met with an eye roll." You're dating right, he's officially yours and you're his now," he squealed with my nod to her question." Future Mrs. Todd, I'll be your bride of honor Right, you're not allowed to have anyone and you'll throw the rose at me and the next weekend, Adam and I will get
Rita" I'm sorry, I should have known better, you can go in. And Rita…" he paused before continuing. “Meet me in my office.”I stifled a laugh at how she walked behind him.He must have thought he was dealing with amateurs, I could only imagine what would happen to him at the end of all this.The Todd I knew, if he didn't unalive him, his situation would be much worse than to be dead.The thought of Adam struck. He was really done for.I shrugged nonchalantly and walked into my office. Piled on the table were files of different cases." It is going to be a long day," I muttered to myself, settling down.The first of Mr Van's clients knocked on the door before opening the door.I welcomed him with a smile and at the end of his session I wondered if he really amassed his wealth with the little way he thinks." I'll have your case file sent over to the lawyer who will represent you in court," I lifted my brows at his startled expression as he stood up." No. No. No. No! That cannot happ
EsmeI was halfway through sleep when Rita's knock came on the door." Here's Adam's food," she said dropping the food beside me,“ I'll be off.”I slipped down from the bed, hungry, and walked to the food, there was it, Rita's favorite food.I picked up the spoon to eat when my phone rang." Todd," I muttered to myself, before picking it up." Hey amor, how're you," he asked, placing the phone to stand, I switched to video to show him the mood Adam made." It's nice isn't it?" I asked and he replied with a nod." I'm getting Rita's documents and evidence almost ready, I'll have them sent over in some days to your office and while we do that, do you mind going to a fundraising party with me," he asked, staring at me." When is it," my breath hitched for a brief moment when I thought about going out with Todd.That'd be a first, we've never had a chance to go public except for the court case." Esme Ames, it isn't safe to fall in love with him," I soliloquized and shook my head." Butt
