CHAPTER EIGHT

JASON

I spent the whole week working from home. I had only seen Alicia once since the kiss. I saw her at her favorite spot, the swimming pool. I had my food in my room and office because I had a lot of work and wasn’t sure if I wanted to see her. When she kissed me, I wanted to just push her away. I wasn’t a huge fan of kissing, and she knew. Even when we were still dating, I wouldn’t kiss her, but when she kissed me that night, I just couldn't control myself. I was ready to put her on the bed and fuck her so hard, but a part of me wanted me to stop.

I hated the fact that she fucked someone else behind my back, I deserved to be the only man to take her innocence. I knew that I would find a virgin within an hour but it meant nothing to me if it wasn’t Alicia—she had gave her innocence to someone else, which made me to ghost her and move on with my life. There was something about her that made my cock so hard whenever she was around me or whenever I got a glimpse of her in the pool through the huge ceiling of my office. I would sometimes watch her for an hour, thinking about all the possible ways I would turn her in my bed.

The door of my office opened and Mary walked in. This time, she was wearing a white mini-dress with red high heels, it wasn’t even fucken Valentines day for crying out loud. She came to my office while I was so focused to my work, I had no time for her bullshit.

“Is she the reason why you don’t want to be with me? I saw her at the pool.” She was talking about Alicia. I didn’t pay attention to her; I kept on scrolling through the email that I got from James.

“What makes her different from me?”.

“Everything, she’s nothing like you. And if you keep on coming to my house uninvited, I won’t hesitate to put a bullet on your head.” She turned a deaf ear and came closer to my desk.

“I just want you to give me a chance, please. I want to be with you…I think I’ve fallen in love with you.” She looked like she was ready to cry. She got access to my house because my workers were not around, I had given them a task somewhere else. I left my leather chair and went to where she was standing. I then strangled her neck, only allowing a small amount of oxygen to pass through her windpipe.

“Let…me go, please.” She wasn’t so confident anymore.

“If I ever see you again anywhere near my house, I’ll kill you.” I removed my hand from her neck, leaving visible marks.

“Fuck off.”. She left my office without looking back. I had tried to tell her to get the fuck away from me but wouldn’t listen. I knew that if she kept showing up I would kill her without any hesitation.

I went back to what I was doing and tried to forget about what had just happen. A message notification made me to unlock my phone, thinking that it was something related to my businesses but it was Ace, my annoying cousin.

'Don’t forget to attend my party. And bring your girl, I’m dying to meet her'.

I got so carried away by my work that I even forgot that I was invited to my cousin’s birthday party that was happening the following night. Ace was like my best friend; he knew everything about me, and I knew everything about him. We had different personalities yet understood each other, and we were inseparable. Ace was very friendly, always making bad choices, a party animal and didn’t give a fuck about his future. No one understood why our bond was so strong even when we were so different.

I was about to reply to his text when I heard a gentle knock on the door.

“Come in.” My deep voice echoed throughout my office. The door opened slowly, and the gentle footsteps against the hardwood floor told me who it was. She was wearing a white vest that hugged her body, revealing the outline of her breasts and denim shorts. She was barefoot. I didn’t know what she wanted but I was happy to see her face, although I didn’t show it.

“Hey…Dolores told me that you had a lot of work. Wanted to know if I could help in any way.”. She was avoiding eye contact, and I knew why. She was still shy from what happened in her room the last time we were together.

“I’m already done, I don’t need your help for now.” She sat on the couch and took her attention away from me, focused on the view that the floor-to-ceiling window allowed her to have.

“I want you to do something for me tomorrow, though.” She turned her gaze to me and gave me a look, indicating that she was dying to know what it was that I wanted from her.

“My cousin is celebrating his birthday tomorrow…you will be my date. The dress code is formal.” She shook her head, showing disapproval.

“I’m not going there. You know how I feel about being around many people…especially strangers.”

“It wasn’t a request. Your dress will arrive in the evening or tomorrow morning.”

-----------------------------

I was waiting in the car for Alicia, and my patience was running out. She had two hours to get ready, but it seemed like it wasn’t enough for her. The only thing that she had to do was to take a shower, put on her dress and apply some makeup—it didn’t have to take two fucken hours. I killed the engine of my Ferrari and wanted to go and check her when the small gate that led to the driveway opened. All the anger went away when my eyes laid on her, it was worth the wait.

She wore a long dress that hugged every inch of her body. It was a black sexy dress; it had a high slit and hugged her perfect breasts perfectly. When I picked her dress, I had no idea that it would look like that on her body. Her curves were so perfect in that dress. A part of me wanted her to change it because I knew that she would get the attention of all the men at the party, they would imagine themselves fucking her in all the different positions in that dress. It was way too sexy.

The closer she got to my car, the harder my cock became. Her face had some touch of makeup, she didn’t overdo it. It was just perfect and way different from the one that the girls that I used to fuck applied on their faces. The black dress looked so good on her bronze skin. The black high heels with the red bottom were a perfect match for the dress. The diamond earrings and red lipstick made her face even more beautiful. Without being able to control myself, I opened my door and walked towards her. She looked so beautiful. I held her hand and led her to my car.

“You look so sexy.” I whispered. I had no idea what the fuck was happening to me.

“Thank you.” She whispered and let out a little chuckle. I opened the door for her—something that I had never done for any person, except my mom. She got inside my car and I closed the door. I stood outside for a minute, trying to get my hard cock a little bit softer, I didn’t want to cancel our trip and fuck her instead. I got in the car and drove to the city.

-----------------------------

ALICIA

When we arrived at the city, it was packed. I was a little bit anxious, thinking about all the things that happened to me the last time I was in the city by myself. I got better when I noticed that we were on the other side of the city—far away from Smash and his strip club. When we arrived at the city, the sun was already setting, and it was starting to get dark. The car pulled over at the side parking just next to the entrance of the building that I believed the party was taking place at judging by the people who were getting inside wearing formal clothes.

Jason got out first and opened my door before I could, something that he never did even when we were still together. There was something that had made him behave like a gentleman that evening. He still gave the cold gaze that he always gave me, but he opened the door for me, and we managed to be together in the car for more than an hour without arguing.

When we got inside, almost everyone inside laid their eyes on me and Jason. It felt awkward, and the feeling that I always had whenever I was in the presence of many people got awakened. I wanted to leave but it was too late. Jason was holding my hand, making it look like we were a couple. The looks that I got from other ladies at the party made it obvious that they envied me for being next to Jason. We walked to the table that had Jason’s name on it. Some guy came to our table and gave Jason a bro hug.

“I thought you wouldn’t come, man.” He then turned his attention to me, scanning me from head to toes. He bit his bottom lip, then took my hand and kissed it.

“The best birthday gift is being able to lay my eyes on such a goddess.” He then winked at me.

“Watch it.” Jason pushed him a little bit, making the guy leave some space between him and I.

“I’m just messing with you, jeez!.” He chuckled.

“You must be Alicia. I’m Ace, Jason’s favorite cousin.” He shook my hand politely this time.

“Nice to meet you, Ace.” I returned the smile. We spent the next few minutes chatting and getting to know each other. Ace was very different from Jason, but I noticed that they got along so well. Ace was the only person who made Jason smile and laugh a little bit—something that I had not seen since we crossed paths in Colombia. Ace left Jason and I at our table to chat with some other guests.

The program was short. It seemed like Ace was in a hurry to finish his speech so that he could dance and drink alcohol—that’s what he had said when he was chatting with me and Jason. Everyone had drinks and food. The formal party turned to a club party. The atmosphere changed, and the loud music and colorful lights made it seem like we were partying at a club. Ace grabbed me by my hand, forcing me to the dancefloor. I looked at Jason, begging him with my eyes to stop Ace from taking me to the dancefloor, but he didn’t react. I wasn’t the greatest dancer, especially in the presence of other people.

“Dance with the birthday boy, come on!.” He shouted at my left ear. I faked a smile and then moved a little bit. When Ace turned to the blond that was next to me, I got a chance to escape and went back to my seat. I released a sigh once I was seated. Jason was not where I had left him. I scanned the room, trying to find him, but I couldn't. There were so many people, and the colorful lights made it even harder to find him in a crowd. I kept on searching with my eyes, then saw him in a distance. He wasn’t alone. He was talking and smiling to another girl that I couldn’t see her face properly—his huge body made it hard for me to see her clearly.

I got a little jealous. She was doing something that I had failed to do. She made him smile and laugh. I tried to forget about it, but my eyes refused to shift from him. Jason then gave her a hug, which allowed me to see her face clearly, and I immediately felt sick. Sadness and disappointment worked together to put me down.

I stood up and went outside to avoid collapsing because the oxygen was no longer finding its way to my lungs. The fresh air outside didn’t help at all. I was not feeling so well. I walked for a couple of minutes and then stopped at the bus stop, not knowing where else to go. I didn’t want to be anywhere near Jason. I was very upset that Jason was busy giving someone else the attention that I desired so much from him. what broke me was that I knew the girl he was busy flirting with. It was none other than Lisa, the person who was kind enough to help me when I was homeless.
