" Christy," Tonia called out my name from the sitting room. " I am coming," I said out loud to her and stare at my reflection in the mirror, it was perfect and I love how I am looking, I need to make heads roll when they see me this night. You can never tell with the group of people Tonia hung out with, the club might be the ones that those rich guys go and I don't want to feel inferior so I need to give my look an extra touch to it.It turns out we are going to meet the guys at the club and I needed to look my best. They were Tonia's friends, she made me hang out with them whenever they were around because I was always busy to actually make friends. My past has always prevented me from making friends, this was Tonia's way of making me have aside from work. So I had to look my best if I were to see them, moreover, they had a way of mocking a person and making it look like a joke. They are people who grew up with money and they have been brought up to look down on
" Christy!" Someone tugged at my arms and I broke from the gaze I had fixed on Lucas and turned to my right, Tonia was close to me holding my arms with eyes filled with worries, " What happened?" She asked turning me fully to face her immediately she sensed my discomfort, and I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out, my throat was so dry, it actually hurts. I swallow the lump in my throat I open my mouth in an attempt to speak." Eric's best friend," I said with a squeaky voice and her eyes flashed in confusion." What.." " The guy you stood next to is Eric's best friend," I said and realization sets in." Oooh," She muttered." Oh my gosh!" She just exclaimed like she just fully understood what I am saying." Are you okay, do you want to leave, I can go home with you, you don't need to.." She started babbling. And gosh, it was such a relief to know that I could go home and escape him for the night, it was what
Turning back I saw Tony staring at me with those sexy eyes of his, my heart skipped for a second. Seeing his face in the dim light of the club and this sent emotions of relief and also confusion all over me at once. I was relieved because he was there, though I didn't want him to be there, he was and there was no doubt that he was going to help me out of my present predicament. I was also confused about why he was there. I didn't tell him I was in that club, so I didn't understand why he always showed up when no one expected him. He was always showing up when I needed him. I was also reminded of how hard it was to stay in the same room with this man I was avoiding.I was the only one staring at him, the music in the background was slow and low and we could hear each other without straining ourselves, his voice rang out loud and everyone heard what he said."Excuse me," Luca said with confidence and pomposity." Who the hell are you?" Tony sm
I placed my hands on his arms and made him look at me. His eyes soften when they fall on mine and my hand caress his cheek, he was defending me here like he had known me for a long time. I moved closer to him, my heart was grateful and I used my lips to brush against his gently. " Calm down," I whispered and ignored the stares coming from everybody.When I felt calm enough, I turned to the writer." Martini," I made my order and Tony smiled at me." Same here," He ordered and it was my turn to smile at him.He was always standing up for me, against all odds, and he made me feel secure and less alone. He was with me nonetheless, we knew absolutely nothing about each other and he did more than those who knew me.' Eric is her past and I am her present," Those words of his rang in my head and it sent a feeling of warmth all over my body.****I could feel Christy's eyes on me, I didn't understand why she was stari
But my thoughts were rudely interrupted when I saw someone snake his hand around her waist and Draw her forcefully to himself. Does this guy wish to die this night, he has been getting on my nerves ever since I stepped into this clubMy attention was so intense on her that I didn't know when he got up from his seat and towards the stage. My hands balled into a fist immediately as I felt the anger I have been holding inside me begin to resurface. My eyes shot daggers at him at the way he held Christy who stole a gaze at me to read my feelings.*******My hands remain on his hands, Lucas's hands as I tried to disengage his hands, so he could lose his hold on me without causing much attention but that alone prove difficult because he refused to let go.He was strong, he was a man and we were at a club, with each attempt I make, he pulled me closer to his body. I could feel every muscle of his twitch behind me, I hated him." What is going on
When we got to my house, Tony got out and opened the door for me to come off the car. I went ahead to open the door and immediately went into the kitchen and got ice clues from the fridge, I placed it in a cloth and use it to form an ice ag before heading to the sitting room but discovered that Tony was not there so I head straight to the room where I found him sitting on the couch in my room, without saying a word, I walked over to the couch and sat down, I took his hand and looked at his knuckles. His knuckles were bruised and bloody and I couldn't bear the sight of it.I gently placed the bag of ice on his knuckles and he winced making me pause. When he looks at me his eye encourages me to continue and I did.I kept dabbing the bag of ice on his knuckles with the memory of the fight he had with Lucas. I was pleased in my heart when I remembered he had beaten Lucas and a smile formed on my lips making my cheek heat up a little bit." That is the first ge
I ignored her and moved towards her, but she walked away from me, this time I did not stop and kept moving towards her till I had her in a corner where I knew she won't be able to get away from me.I quickly got to her and try holding her hands, but she moved away so fast that it surprised me." Did I do anything wrong to you?" I said feeling frustrated with the way she was acting. The night was going fine and I want it to continue that way, I don't want it to be ruined by the way she is behaving right now.She glared at me and I see that a fight is going to happen between us but I don't think I can take that because of what happened earlier in the club, My mood was going back to its natural mood and I wanted it to remain so, not a fight, no I just won't be able to handle that now." Leave..." She said in again in a throaty voice." No...you can't keep glaring at me, if there is anything the matter you need to let me know," I snapped at h
Tony's grip on my hand tightened as I tried my possible best to keep calm. Which was close to impossible because my heartbeat increased by three times faster than usual, and my nerves were all over the place I couldn't for the love of it, keep calm.Tony started moving slowly and I followed quietly, making sure not to hit my leg on anything while we both moved to the sitting room. That was difficult because it was so dark and I was scared. Wondering who could be in the house with us and why the switch suddenly went off.Someone was breaking into my house and I couldn't help being frightened. Slowly, steadily, patiently Tony led my frightened body to the door of my room. I could tell because my hands were resting by the door for support as we got to the door I disengaged my hold on his waist.The noise came again and a fearful whimper escape my throat before Tony could use his hands to cover my mouth and we went completely quiet, we waited, and our eyes wer
