I've been taking care of Ryker for weeks now, and honestly speaking, he is recovering real quickly. He got his word across Scarlet about not wanting her in the apartment anymore right after that day. Obviously, she didn't take it well, but she couldn't force him to change his mind.
The girls were always sarcastic about this whole situation, they were curious as to why I was the only one allowed in his room, why was I even required by Ryker.
I know they must hate me more than before now, especially Willow, who was acting like I stole her boyfriend.
I knew this was gonna happen, obviously, being acquired by Ryker and spend time with him was nothing to sneeze at.
Spending so much time with Ryker had made me understand him even more. We were growing closer than ever and I, for once in my life, was very happy.
I grabbed the hot bowl of soup and placed it for Ryker, who was posting pictures after pictures on Instagram since morning.
I pulled my shirt down in haste, totally forgetting about my bra and fixing myself while Ryker didn't bother to look in Scarlet's eyes.I began to adjust my jeans while avoiding Scarlet's eyes. Ryker had no regret or panic in his tone."I didn't know you were gonna come." he took a deep comforting breath and walked away from me. Slowly reaching his closet to look for the pants that started all this.I could sense Scarlet's eyes stuck at me, her partially parted lips gasping throughout this time in shock.I know it must be hard to see someone who you kept toying with moving on from you. She brought us here to entertain him, I don't know if she had too much trust in her love or too less confidence in any of us girl for stealing him from her."I ---i came to see--- you---" she paused, all of a sudden, "what am I seeing Ryker?" she questioned in a harsh tone.She was no longer in shock, now she sounded mad. I was now just
"I told you I've nothing to be afraid of," I replied, trying not to look weak or scared. But the satisfaction on her face was visible, she knew something.At this point, I was only trying to convince myself that she doesn't know anything but, in reality, she had read the files."Why do you think I picked you?" she repeated, "all you girls were needy. Willow was thrown out of her house by her stepmother and her father isn't even her father, Lacy and Nichole had the same tensions going on and you---" she paused, narrowing her eyes. I didn't know Willow's life was a mess. So even her father wasn't her father?Yeah! All this time, my suspicions were right about her intentions behind picking us."Why did you pick us?" It finally clicked my mind, it was weird how soon after we joined, Ryker finds out about her pregnancy, cheating and she told him about the open relationship idea. She plan
He called her right in front of my eyes and told her to come over tonight. So that was his plan? For her to walk on us while we were doing it?I couldn't believe he would do this to me after coming so far.As soon as he hung up, he looked at my face.His expressions went blank for a moment and then he narrowed his eyes to understand the look on my face."You done yet?" Suddenly, I narrowed my eyes and stared him dead in the eye. My words were not breaking or lacking confidence, I was ready to yell at him even if it means my throat bleeds at the end."What?" He placed his hands on his waist and watched me, confused and totally oblivious."Are you done making her jealous? Because I'm not gonna be your weapon in this game." I announced, not fearing his reaction. Though I was not afraid of him, my voice did crack at the pain of knowing he used me.
"Don't touch me." I slowly slapped his hand away and taking a step back from him, I raised my misty eyes to lock with his eyes, he didn’t look like someone who could hurt me, his intentions were dripping from his eyes, but I was no expert in reading eyes."I won't disappoint you." He held my hand regardless of me not wanting him to do so and began walking ahead of me. I followed him, even though I shouldn't have but something inside me told me to trust him."I'm not letting you touch me," I whispered before we entered the room. Scarlet was perched on the bed, her face dug in her phone. She raised her head and shock hit her."What is she doing here?" She bitterly spoke, standing up from her spot and looking at me."This is where she belongs." He replied very calmly, letting go of my hand."I don't get you, then why did you call me here?" She questioned, totally confused, her eyes would casually glare at me in anger and hate."Beca
The next few days were going well until I heard Scarlet had fallen extremely sick. The news was spread around about her not feeling well and it scared me into thinking if we announced our relationship now, not only me, but Ryker will be blamed for her failing health as well."Scarlet falling sick right after the news of Ryker Malarkey recovering faster than we had believed is a bit sus!"The celeb gossip channel kept babbling and making weird as* faces like they have cracked a code. The TV was playing in the boutique where I was sent by Ryker to make sure the girls were following through the list of work that has to be done.I have no idea what interest the girls had in that news or that channel as a whole, but I was getting anxious about it."Why do you think Scarlet is not living with Ryker anymore?" the TV had everyone's attention by now."I bet t
I slept in his arms, it was the most beautiful night of my life plus my body hurt from doing it all night. He was gentle in the beginning and then we both kind of falling victim to the kinks. I was sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden, my eyes pushed open on the noise of the door being shut. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, I was sleeping alone in his bed. It took me a minute to clean my vision and look around. The sun was already shining from the window with the birds chirping merrily. I was wrapped in the bedsheet, still tired. He was not in the bed with me, did he leave?
"I'm not a gold digger Ryker." I simply stated, making him frown in confusion."Wait, how is me wanting to help your brother makes you a gold digger? Kath, I would love to shower diamonds and money at your feet. This is how couples live, they help each other. If you want something you will ask me to buy it for you, it's how I want it. I want you to rely on me if you want to, the thought of you thinking your Ryker is capable of doing anything for you makes me happy. I want to be there for you always and forever. I won’t judge you," He had held my hand and was slowly rubbing it, “You don’t have to worry about your every single action and how I will react to it, you want any kind of job, I will support you as long as you wanna do it on your free will. I will never judge you.” His mentality has shaken me up, I never thought Ryker would be so mature.Since the beginning, even though he had intoxicated me with his charms, I still thought he was a bit
That day, we had an amazing lunch on the rooftop once again. After lunch, we got downstairs and while Ryker went to his apartment to get ready for a photoshoot, I marched inside mine to take a shower and changed into my clothes.During all this time, I had completely forgotten about the fact that Ryker and I weren't the only ones in the building.Nowhere in those hours had I noticed someone spying on us. While I was in the shower, Ryker did inform me about leaving for the photoshoot, which meant the rest of the day was going to be pretty boring.I wrapped a towel around my body and exit the bathroom to lay down in the bed and scroll through my Instagram feed.There wasn't much going on, everybody was just posting the regular morning routine pictures and stuff.There was a post that caught my attention due to several reasons. It was a picture of Scarlet leaving the hospital,
