DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY: A SHIVER OF FEAR
For a minute, Purple stood rooted to the spot, unable to move or even think. The walls looked like it was going to crash on her, and she wished they would, anything to take the pain away. Her mouth suddenly felt bitter and dry, like she had eaten poison."No!"She refused to believe what she had just heard, it was possible to belly her mother's betrayals, to condone her lies, her secrets, but what she could never swallow was betrayal from a man she called a lover, a man she was ready to sacrifice everything for, a man that was supposed to treasure their relationship with his heart.Her man had done nothing of that, and the pain was crippling enough to wreck her. It made her mad. Tears flowed from her eyes and she relied on it for comfort, for support, for the help Lucas could not provide.The phone vibrated again and she looked in its direction, no doubt it was him. What the fuck was he going to say? A thousand more words to add to her grief? She was not going to give him the pleasure

"The number you're trying to call is unavailable at the moment, Please call back later…,""Shit!" Lucas clamped the phone hard on the desk, his breath racing. How had he not known that things would turn out this way? He had fucked up, maybe he thought he could protect her, but protect her from what? The truth? It was her right to know the truth, so why didn't he tell her?As his thoughts whirled, a part of him knew it was his fault, he had chosen not to tell her from the start. Their parents' marriage was a burden he had to carry for years and he opted to carry hers too, but clearly, it was the most unwise thing to do.In exertion, he ran his hands through his hair. He felt a weakness in his muscles and he couldn't tell if it was a result of tiredness or worry.A knock on the door distracted him and he looked up."Come in," he said sparingly.Bryan walked in, a flush in his cheeks."Good afternoon sir, I spoke with Limo's lawyers, but they have decided to see you,"Lucas brushed the w
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: PARTY.
"You promised to stop crying," Ellen said, rocking her back and forth.Purple sniffed, tucking her hair behind her ears. Her make-up was ruined from the tears that kept flowing from her eyes, the mascara had left dull patches of gray on her face, her eyes looked puffed, they had become bloated."You don't understand, Ellen, you fuvking do not understand,"Ellen paused. "You'll be fine, okay? I promise,""I'm not even sure he loves me! look, he hasn't even called,""That's because you told him not to," "Well, I didn't mean it that way, and he obviously doesn't care!... It hurts," she whimpered.Ellen smoothened her hair to the sides. "Maybe he does care, maybe he does love you, have you thought of that?"Purple shrugged but did not answer."You should forgive him," Ellen hinted."What?" Purple grimaced. "Hell, no! How can you even think of that all of a sudden?""Well, maybe it's time you take a critical look at the situation. Your parents' marriage was natural, it was not anything ei
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: RESULTS AND EFFECT.
Strobe lights designed the bar with few people twirling, humming and dancing to the music blaring from the speakers. Purple paused to drag her gown again to the knee. The dress was damn short and skimpy, but Ellen had insisted she wore it.According to her, the dress made her look hot, but Purple doubted that, if anything, the dress exposed her bare thighs making her look like a harlot. It did not matter anyway, she had zero interest in staying in this place for long, she had only come to please Ellen and probably shake off boredom.She turned to look at Ellen in admiration, she was looking specifically hot this evening, she wore a green strapless gown that matched the color of her eyes. Her lips were coloured red and her blonde hair was tied at the back."Hey," Ellen interrupted her thoughts. "Let's grab some drinks,""No alcohols, El, you know I don't enjoy them,""You won't drink the whole goddamn drum, just a pint,"Purple sighed, she did not know if the words were meant to annoy
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: MISTAKES.
She was suddenly falling off a building, the height of it frightened her so much that she screamed, unable to control her swinging hands.She shut her eyes tightly, waiting for the impact of her body against the cemented floor, waiting for her head to break into pieces.But none of that happened.Instead someone swooped her up, her knight in shining armor, Lucas. He gave her a perfect smile, a smile that she had not seen in days, it connected with her heart that all her previous anger for him melted.Her eyes twitched and turned, was she dreaming? She doubted so, it felt so real, so true that she gave him a gentle smile."Lucas," she said, placing a palm on his face."Hey…,"His tone was warm, gentle, a pleasant tuning in her ears and she was conscious of the tight fluttering in her stomach."How did you know I was here?" She couldn't help but ask."It doesn't matter, I'm here now,"She nodded and exhaled, he was right. It didn't matter why and how he had suddenly saved her, all that
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: HIS REACTION.
The doorbell rang for the third time and she hurried to the door with a flushed breath and an escape sigh. It was Lucas. "Hi," she greeted with a smile. "Hi…," "Come in," she said, opening the door wider to welcome him in. He gave her a brief smile and entered the room that had the scent of lavender. His eyes observed the pink in her cheeks, her marble cheekbones, and her slightly scattered light brown curls. Her dim gray eyes looked tired. "Sit," she said, handing him a glass of wine. As she sat beside him, she clasped her hands tightly together, wishing he would not pick the scent of alcohol on her skin or anywhere else in the house. It had taken quite an effort to put her messy house in order, so he dare not ruin her efforts by finding out. "How did you know I was back in town?" She said to satisfy her curiosity. "Ellen told me," he said without an effort. "What?!" She gasped in surprise, batting an eyebrow. What did he mean Ellen told him? Her best friend? How the hell
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: A SHADOW.
"What?!" Her face grew pale until it was completely white."I'm calling because I'm disappointed. You're a hard-working staff, Purple, and the company is proud, but recently, you've proved to be undeserving of our support,""Sir…," she said, but her voice trailed off. What was really her offense? Why was he suddenly firing her out of the blues? Yes, she had skipped her job on some occasions, but it was not enough to just fire her, was it?"Sir… please, this job means everything to me! I cannot afford to lose it!""You would have thought of that before trying to play smart,""How exactly did I play smart?!" She wanted to retort but kept quiet. Arguing would never solve the issue, it would only escalate it.If she lost her job, there would be no one to run to. She had no helper, no sponsor, nobody that could help her, so why the fuck was he doing this?Cold sweat broke at the back of her neck and trickled into her blouse. Her mouth suddenly felt dry and she felt her hands tremble, like
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: A MESSAGE
Purple sat behind her desk, punching off the keys of her laptop. She sighed and straightened her neck, trying to shake off the tiredness that was beginning to build in her muscles.It was a new day at work, a new day to put in her best. There was no room for laziness.Across the desk, her phone rang and she reached out for it. As she saw the caller, she smiled. The balm to her pain had finally called. Lucas."Hey," she said, smiling."My queen, how are you?""I'm fine, how about you?"I'm good,""Your voice sounds extra cheerful today, what's the news?" She probed."I have a surprise for you, a lovely one," he sang the words.She gasped in excitement. "A surprise?""You'd love it…,"She placed a hand on her chest in gratitude. "Wow… I cannot wait,""I'll pick you up after work, call me when you're done,""Yes, my king,"He chuckled. "Can I get a kiss before I go?""From here? It wouldn't feel real,""It would, just send it,"She closed her eyes and tilted her mouth. "Muah…," she rel
