oh boy!!

Kehlani.

“I'm sorry to piss you off. I didn't….”

He laughed. “I'm not angry. I'm just shocked how you suddenly climbed on me.”

I sat back at the edge. “Sorry. I was startled and didn't see that coming. That is never going to happen ever again. In fact, pretend I never did that. Never. Ever. This is your fault. You wanted to stay.”

“Oh, wow.” He crossed his arms. “I wanted to stay, I never mentioned N*****x. You decided that and picked the movie yourself.”

“Uhh. Whatever.” I continued to focus on the movie.

“Whatever too.” He lay comfortably on the bed. I watched him with a side eye.

An hour and minutes later, we were done at just 7pm.

“Well, that was nice.” I turned the lights back on and rolled up the curtain.

“Thanks. I wanna ask you something and please, do reply to me. Alright?”

“I'm all ears.”

“Whatever you and Elliot discussed, was it about me? Right before the fight started before the blow.”

“Don't worry, you don't need to know.” He kept on repeating this and I didn't give up. I was just too curious to know and after much disturbance, he sighed. “Fine…Elliot at first tried was being a nuisance on purpose…making me angry while he played”

“Okay?”

“Then, he asked of you. Our relationship status, saying I wanna fuck you like how he tore your walls…”

There's a deafening silence. I froze, starting to regret why I was bent on knowing what happened. I shouldn't have asked.

“Oh.” My voice is low and I start to draw invisible circles on the bed. I felt so ashamed, I couldn't even look up. Don't cry. Don't cry.. don't you fucking cry…but my emotions failed me.

“Hey, are you?-” Trevor bent his head so he could see my face and the tears I tried to hide were seen. Damn…busted.

“Kehlani….” He said softly but I didn't utter a word. How could Elliot just say that? After he manipulated me, taking away my virginity, left me and still had the guts to tell people what he did. And then Trevor too. This was too embarrassing.

I sniffed and wiped my tears. “I swear, I'm not crying.”

“Please, wipe up. He's not worth your tears. You know that.”

“I know..” I sniffed. “But you know what?” My voice trembled and it's laced with pain and hurt. “Just don't judge me for that okay? I'm not a whore. I slept with him because he tricked me.”

“Hey, I never said you're one. Don't call yourself that when you've only been with Elliot.”

“I know. But you know, that party where you ran after me, he confessed over truth or dare game that he wanted to date me for visibility and influence in the school's media which I did for him and to see what it's like down there.”

The lady word was with a bitter heart. Trevor moved close and placed his hands over my shoulders. “What will do is revenge. Like I said, the same way you made him who he is today, you can take that back and destroy him.”

“I want him dead!” I blurted.

He pats my back and chuckles. “Easy. We're in this together. Part of the reason we're fake dating. To pull him down.”

I sighed. “I can't believe he's still not guilty. God, I want to punch him so bad. I know what to do. You're right, I can destroy him. I just need to focus.”

“That's the spirit.”

For a while, we consoled me and we had already laughed it out. After talking, we left the room, he's holding the document and I planned on going to my Dad's pastry shop.

“How about I follow you there? I don't mind tasting.” He insists.

“Okay, fine. But I don't want to stress you out. I don't know if you'll be busy or something.”

“I'm not. I insist. Please.”

I'm enjoying the cool breeze from the car ride and the music he's playing. I'm already smiling like I didn't cry earlier. We're finally at the shop and we stepped down together. I pushed the door and the scent of different flavors of cake filled the air. Some customers occupy the table and chairs while eating.

“I love it here. It's very welcoming.” He complimented.

“Thanks. Sit here and I'll check for my dad.”

I checked the counter and he's there. Dozing off. Ohh, how he looked cute. The work is definitely stressing him out and I feel triggered because I'm not helping him like before. Dad doesn't know I've returned to the rink and that'll be taking up most of my time.”

I snapped my fingers and he opened his eyes, startled and confused but smiled when he saw me.

“Hey, Dad.” I chirped.

“My princess.” He covered his mouth to yawn and laughed. “You're here.”

“Sure. You're sleeping on duty.”

He sighed and then stood from the chair. “I wasn't a while ago. Maybe it's just stress.”

“Well, I brought a friend along.”

“Who?”

I stepped out of the way so he'll see Trevor sitting. Trevor's eyes met with ours and he waved in a very classic way. Everything about him was just stylish.

Dad left the counter and sat with him. He's acting over joyous like he liked Trevor. Well, Trevor's Dad is his friend, so he'd definitely like his son. I went to sit with them too and they flowed together.

“How's school and all?”

“Great. How's work going? Hope this girl here isn't stressing you.” He sneered at me and dad laughed.

“Not at all. I also have an assistant here. Thank you. The two of you seem to be closer than the last time we were here.” Dad grinned.

“Of course. Your daughter and I are dating.”

I shut my eyes and looked away. I know, Dad is clearly surprised and Trevor doesn't mind telling anyone.

“She's the best thing that ever happened to me.” He held my hands and I bit my tongue, waiting for Dad's response. “And I won't hurt her.”

All these for a fake relationship?

Dad is quiet and then, his brows furrowed and he snapped his head to the side. “Kehlani?”

“Yes?”

“In the kitchen, now.”
