“I have a favor to ask.” Knox says on the other end the phone. I’m surprised he called because he never calls me. He usually sends a text to let me know he’s on his way. The fact that he called, means he want something big. “No.” I say, my answer making him laugh. He and I are not in the business of giving each other favors. That creates expectations and ultimately disappointment. And our relationship is muddy enough; we don’t need any more expectations. “You don’t even know what I want to ask of you.” He says and I can hear the smile in his voice. I’m glad he’s finding this funny, I’m on alert like I always with him. In the back of my mind I always keep a reminder that this is temporary. Spending time with him is working for me; I find my days filled with less pain and loss. He kept his promise and he’s there for me when things get overwhelming. But I’m dreading the day this little reunion is brought to a stop. “It’s because I know I won’t be able to help you either way.” I say an

“Hey.” Olive screams running toward the car my sisters and I are in. Knox arranged for us to be picked up from my apartment about 30 minutes ago by one of his staff. I was freaking out the whole drive here because I didn’t know where we’re going and everyone seems so official. This all too serious. The driver was quiet and intimidating. Knox’s assistant spoke to was talking to me like I’m his boss. I didn’t know how to react to that, I tried to let him know that formality is not necessary but I fear I made the situation even more awkward. I’m a little out of my element here, while my sisters are excited by the whole experience of ‘course, they are soaking everything up. They particularly love the fact they are being treated like royalty. Their jaws dropped on the floor when they realized we’re being picked up by a car. And they haven’t stopped smiling since we got into the car. I look at Olive coming closer to us; she has a huge smile on her face with her arms wide open, ready to hu
The play boy's secret lover Chapter 50 - What happens in the dark
I walk back into the house from the backdoor next to Knox’s office. I had to get out and get some fresh air for a bit. My mother is driving me crazy, tonight is supposed to be a happy day for me. I am supposed to be celebrating my 19th birthday and have a great time. Instead I am being hammered by her to meet dating prospects. She invited random rich families with sons to come and see me and decide if they want to place a bet on me becoming their daughter in law. I came close to screaming at her to leave me hell alone today. The only thing that stopped me is the fact that I am genuinely terrified of my mother. She wouldn’t hesitate to slap me if I ever acted out. So I ran out of that party as soon as I got the chance. I should’ve taken Knox’s car keys and ran away to Melody’s house. I know she’ll give me a bed to sleep in and she won’t act all weird toward me. I love being around her and her little sisters. Her house is the only place I feel real genuine love. I know I can relax aro

2 am I wake up to the sound of my phone pinging. I reach out for it in the dark and open my eyes and see Olive’s name on the screen. I tap the text and open my eyes wider to see it. Hey. I know it’s late but I need your help. Something happened (Don’t freak out, no one got hurt.) Knox and I are on our way to your place. I really need a place to sleep and you were the first person that came to mind. I hope you don’t mind. And I hope you see this text before we get there. I don’t want to wake you up in the middle of the night. Olive I read the text over and over trying to make sense of it. What could have happened that they need to come here? Her message gave no detail and that is making me freak out. I have all sorts of scenarios running in my head. I sit up in bed and look up at the text one more time. I hope they’re okay and nothing really terrible happened. I have at least an hour wait before they get here. I get out of bed and head to the kitchen. I call the front

“Welcome home son.” My mother says when I walk through the door. She looks behind me to see if Olive is with me I assume. I close the door and I can tell she wants to say more but she doesn’t. “We were worried about you last night.” She says looking at me closely. “I’m fine and Olive is fine. She’ll be home later in the day.” I say looking at her, waiting for her to say something else but she just looks at me. “I know she’s okay.” She says looking away. I look at her surprised, what’s up with her? She’s acting weird, she’s not freaking out about Olive and I disappearing last night. But I can tell that she has a lot going on in that braino f hers. “Did you spend the night here?” I ask walking from the entrance way to the kitchen. I need a coffee if I’m going to get through this morning. “Yes. Samantha was a mess last night and I couldn’t leave her alone.” She says walking closely behind me. I smile in disbelief, so Samantha is using my mother once again to get one over me. I guess

“Good morning.” Olive says peaking through my bedroom door. I open my eyes and flip around to look at her. She looks so much better than she did last night, her sweet spirit is restored. Her soul was crushed when she walked through my door last night. Both she and Knox looked like they saw the devil. But this morning she seems a lot more settled. She smiles at me and I wink at her. “Do you mind if I come in?” She says smiling at me shyly. I wish I could protect her from the cruelties of this world but, I’m afraid to get involved too deeply. Her family lives by different rules; I might get burned if I poke my head in their business. “Come in.” I say and she walks in slowly, looking around my room. She gets on my bed, looking at me. “This is a very beautiful room.” She says touching my cover softly. She avoids eye contact, I know she feels bad for getting me involved with everything but what she doesn’t know is that I have been a part of this way before she was aware it was happening

“Phil is here to take you home.” Knox says looking at Olive. “Who’s Phil?” I ask looking at Olive. She smiles and moves in closer for a hug. She squeezes me, making me giggle. “Phil is Knox’s trusted body guard.” She says squeezing me even more. “Thank you for everything. You’re the best. I hope you know that.” She says getting out of bed. She stands up straight looking up at her brother. “You good?” She asks smiling at him sweetly. “I’m good.” He says smiling at her. “What chaos am I waking into at home?” She asks looking at him and I can see all the stress reappear on her face. She’s too young to be dealing with crap like this. “You don’t have to worry about anything. I spoke to her. She won’t probe you about what happened last night.” Knox says and she looks at him for a long time before nodding. “We need to talk, but we’ll do it another time.” She says hugging him tight. “Bye, I’ll see you soon.” She says turning to me. “Bye.” I say waving to her. She smiles and then she wal

“How are you this evening?” Phil says when I get to the door of the car. I look back at my office building and there are people from my office staring at me. I see them pointing at ne and talking amongst themselves. I’m pretty sure they are not talking about me but I feel self conscious about being picked up by a car. I’m very uncomfortable with displays of money. And having a all black, blacked out windows and a chauffeur in an all black outfit. Is the ultimate show of money and power. Whatever happened to a regular Uber? All Knox had to do was give me the address and I would have showed up. But no, he has to have me picked up. Phil opens the back passenger door and I get in. I try to shake off the feeling hovering over me. I know I’m over thinking this because I’m nervous. I don’t know what’s going to happen. “I’m good and how are you?” I ask him when he gets in the front door. “I’m well thank you for asking.” He says starting the car and we leave. “I thought Knox was the one
