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,
Ryker came back soon after he filmed the commercial. The first thing he did was to land in my room and March inside my bathroom to freshen up. I was sent by him to get his clothes from his apartment."Ryker?" I knocked on the bathroom very gently to get his attention, "Your clothes!" I waited for him to open the door slightly so that I can hand him the clothes but instead, he opened the door ajar and came out completely naked."RYKER!" I yelled, covering my eyes.There was a silence in the surroundings and then he cleared his throat."We have se* every night. It's the same th---" before he could continue with his idiotic talk, I removed the hand from my eyes and slapped his chest.He was standing by real close to me, our eyes met and he gestured me to look down.I know I've seen him naked, but those times we were so high in our emotions and were so horny that
"Ryker is not like the others," I repeated, lifting my face and staring straight into his eyes."Yeah! If you wanna give him a try that's fine, but remember if anything happens, you can always contact me." He forced a smile on his lips while trying to sound as genuine as he could.I couldn't believe he was thinking I would believe him, out of all the people in the world, I would trust him. He is the same guy who left me when I was in need, broke my heart when I needed a shoulder to cry on, and now he wanted me to come to him for comfort in my bad times. How could someone be so foolish, so mean, so selfish?So manipulative?"Thanks, but I won't need it. I've consoled myself before, I'm pretty sure I can do it now that I have an experience." I gave him the most sarcastic look but he failed to take a hint and quit. "Does Meesha knows you are here?" I knew she wasn't around, yet I looke
"I don't know, he is just, he just an awful person," I whispered in my mouth, breaking out if Ryker's arms. He watched my face for a moment and then lay back in the bed, gesturing me to lay with him.I laid on top of it, resting my face on his chest.“You know what, I have got a solution to all your problems.” He said while I rested on his chest.
I had begun to get really impatient with Ryker not responding to me. The whole day went by and there was no sign of Ryker or no news from him. An image of my brother kept flashing before my eyes, I don’t know where he was and why Ryker was ignoring me so much. I tried asking drivers, the guards, but they all told me one thing; they don’t know. I was walking on the roof, one corner to another, thinking about ways to make Ryker talk to me.I reached the end and that’s when my eyes landed on a car pulling in the driveway. I recognized the car, it was Ryker’s.Finally,I booked downstairs, hoping to bump into Ryker in the hallway, but thankfully, he wasn’t there yet. Something weird was happening and it appeared as confronting him in the hallway could backfire, I must wait for him in his apartment, where we will be able to talk in peace.I rushed inside his dark apartment and waited for his arrival. I was right
I was impatiently waiting for Ryker to contact me again, to invite me wherever he wanted me to appear so that we could resolve all the issues out. It was 10 pm already and I hadn’t received anything from his side. I kept debating in my head if I should message him first or would it upset me? I hated the feeling of not being able to approach him because I was afraid of upsetting him.
“No, don’t say that. We can’t be done like that. You have to give me a chance to explain my side, you have to tell me what is going on?” I tried to place my hands on his chest but he slapped them away very brutally.The intensity he showed in slapping my hands away scared me. He had changed.He was really done with me.“Leave!” he took a step back and gestured at the balcony door.“No,” I shook my head, completely lost, “What about my brother?” I almost whispered and that changes his mood even worse.“I’ll let you know where he is, right now, leave.” He repeated but this time, very loudly.I didn’t want to piss him off, he had my brother. There was nothing I could do anymore; my ego forbade me from begging anymore.I just looked at his face one last time, before lowering my head and walking back into the lounge, looking all defe
“We are over, get over it.” He shrugged his shoulders at my broken image before his eyes. He could not care less about how much his actions were hurting me. On the other hand, I couldn’t believe he never loved me or he planned on leaving me anytime soon."What?" the frequency of my voice faded. "Why are you breaking my heart?" my voice cracked as I wished for him to make an eye contact with me. Maybe, looking at the tears in my eyes will ache his heart for me. Wasn’t it a week ago when he woke up with my sniffles and was ready to end the world for me?Why was he ending me now?"I've no time for your games Miss Kathleen, go back to your room and be in time for the gym class." he neglected to look into my eyes but the muscles of his neck popped as he looked away. Why can't he look into my eyes now?My lips quivered as I kept watching his face, tears burning my eyes, but I was making sure I don’t shed any in front of
I saw the most satisfying smile on Ryker's face when Scarlet decided to walk out of the apartment after he praised Willow. This incident made me think if all he did with me was just to get back at Scarlet because he wasn’t trying to hurt me anymore.My point is, If I did him wrong, he would be making me jealous, not Scarlet."Okay, that's enough for today." He quickly stepped back from Willow and announced emotionlessly. See, I was right. Once Scarlet left, his enthusiasm left along with her."Can I stay a little longer to discuss some matters with you, please?" Willow, who had gained enough confidence and hints from Ryker to start hitting on him again, sweetly asked, batting her eyelashes and passing little giggles."I said that's enough for today, we will talk when I'm free." He, very rudely, stated.That, not only shocked us, but left us in bewilderment as well. Wasn't he hitting on her just a few minutes
