Chapter 12 ' A MESS'

Izzy's POV 

"Oh, what a coincidence Miss. Isabella Flores "a familiar voice snapped in my ears. While I was ordering.  

God damnit what is this person doing here. Jared was standing in front of me with a squeaky smirk. 

I was frozen on the stop. My mind stopped working. I didn't even know what to do now. 

How am I supposed to talk to him? What the hell is he doing here?

Suddenly flashbacks of the past started running in my head. I shivered at the thoughts. They were horrible. The things he did to me. 

The way he speaks is so devilish.  I just wanna disappear at the moment. Can I just die now, please?

Kayden looked at me and I didn't know what to say so I just apologized and threw my eyes. 

He suddenly stood up and greeted him. So he knows him. Well of course he would know him. 

I just do the same but I stood behind Kayden.  He turned and his face was full of questions. I can understand how he feels.

But it was like I can't tell him about Jared.  It's embarrassing,  awful, and painful memories. 

"So Izzy for a long time no see, " Jared said, piercing me with those disgusting eyes. 

"Yeah okay, " I said looking away. I just don't wanna talk to him.

"I guess you have been receiving my present until now, " he said, making me confused.

"What are you talking about?" I was all confused. 

"Flowers, remember?" he said.

Wow that was from him. Has he been sending me bouquets all these years? 

Oh dear lord, why the fuck am I so dumb? How can I not know?

"Stop sending them. I don't like it" I snapped looking straight into his eyes. 

"Why? Don't you like roses? " he asked blankly. Asshole.

I looked up at Kayden.  He was staring at me. I felt my heart pounding like it will explode at any time now. 

"Yeah, I don't.  As you can see I'm here with my boyfriend. So if you don't mind we can continue our date" I said sarcastically. Linking my arms with Kayden's.  But his gaze still fixed at me. 

"Well, I do mind. But don't worry you can enjoy it as much as you want. Soon you are coming to me" he said before walking away. 

I sighed and got back to my chair. 

"What is this about? How does he know you?" Kayden's voice was cold and firm. 

"I ..Uhm..I.." I couldn't gather the right words to start with. 

"You what Izzy ?" This time he was loud, angrier, and cold.

"I'm sorry, " I said quietly looking on my lap. Tears were threatening to come out of my eyes. 

God knows how I'm holding myself. It was our first date. Fuck it's ruined by none other than my ex-boyfriend.  

How should I explain? I wanted to cry out loud. I couldn't even look up at Kayden.  He was so cold and annoyed. It broke my heart. I just wanted to disappear.

I wish the earth would eat me up right now.

"You are  sorry about what, Izzy ?" Kayden said. I can sense no emotions in his voice. 

"I .. he ..he is my ex-boyfriend.  We dated..about.. 4 years ago for about a year and so. Then I broke up with him " I looked up at him. 

 He was so mad his deep blue eyes were all filled with outraged anger.

 "I'm sorry. I didn't know he would be here and I'm sorry " tears started to slide down my cheeks. 

"No I'm sorry, baby it's not your fault. Don't cry please ." Kayden stood up kneeling to me holding my hands which I didn't know were trembling so bad. "I won't ever shout at you again, I promise ." He said brushing my tears away. 

"Can we just go somewhere else ?" I gasped sobbing. Kayden nodded and we got back home.

We kept silent through the whole drive back. I got out. Kayden held me as we made it through the main door. 

"Holy shit, what did you do to her Kayden?" Mike shouted as soon as he saw my face. 

Kayden lowered his head. He just kept staring at empty space thinking about what don't know. 

"Nothing Mike I'm fine " I smiled assuring him that I'm okay. 

Then I got to my room alone. Kayden goes to his room. I was worried sick now. What is he thinking? Will he leave me? 

Then a flashback suddenly snapped in my head.

Flashback

"What are you doing Jared?" I said pushing him away. His head hit the wall behind. 

We were at this club and Jared was entirely drunk. I came here to pick him. 

"You stupid bitch " he said annoyingly coming back at me.

"No ..no.. noo.  Jared, please stop it. Please don't " I whimpered. As he grabbed my hands above my head. Pushing me into a wall. 

Kissing all my neck to my cleavage.  Tears started flowing hard in fear and pain.

"Jared you are hurting me please stop" I wailed. 

"You are mine. I can do whatever I want ." He said biting my ear. 

I pushed him hard with all the strength I had. He fell to the floor. We were in a VIP area so no one could even hear me. 

I was about to run. When he stood up and slapped me hard. I fell hard.

"You slut. What do you think you are doing huh?" He said, grabbing my mouth. 

He kissed me hard, rough, and disgusting. I couldn't even fight anymore. 

"Let's teach you a lesson, " he said, smirking devilish. 

He started pulling out his belt and was about to hit me when someone from behind seized it. 

It was the security guard with some waitresses. She quickly came to pick me up. 

"Are you okay?" She asked and I nodded sobbing.

"Stop biting your nails," Kayden's voice snapped bringing me out of my thoughts. 

I didn't know I was trembling and shivering, biting my nails with fear. 

I just wanted some time alone. I didn't want to go through all of this again. 

I wanted to be happy like all those 4 years afterward I was. But now thinking about how happy I received those bouquets make me cringe. 

That creepy guy is back in my life why?
