Chapter four

ARIANA’s POV

I rushed out into the street with my cheek burning red, my eyes filed with tears and my heart filled with regret, I had never felt so humiliated in my life. 

How could Kira lie to our parents about something as sensitive as this? What would people say about me?

My mum was a loud mouth and things like this, didn't exactly stay in the family, why did Kira do this to me? 

I walked down the street not knowing where I was headed, I didn't have anywhere to go and even if I did,  I didn't want them to see me like this because I would be forced to explain myself to them.

Who would even believe my own side of the story that Kira had agreed to me seducing her boyfriend? My thoughts carried my legs as I placed it on the road about to cross without looking both ways.

Honk!

Honk!

I fell to the ground at the sound of a loud car horn as I came back to life, I had cried so much that i suddenly felt lightheaded. 

Normally, I would have cursed the driver but it was my fault this time around, I was not looking where I was going.

"Rosaline," I heard a familiar voice call out to me but that wasn't my name, then it dawned on me who was calling me as I raised my head to stare at Raymond who was stretching his hand forward to help me up.

I pushed his hand off and got up on my own two feet, it was his fault that I was in this situation, maybe Kira had not liked what he had been doing to me, maybe that was why she was too upset and had acted the way she did, the more I thought about it the more tears fell from my eyes without control.

I watched him stare at me with confusion in his eyes, i figured he was trying to guess why the beautiful lady he had been pleasing some hours ago was now crying her eyes out and looking like a mess.

In a worried tone he placed his hands to my side examining me from head to toe for any sign of injury, "are you okay?" he asked.

"Leave me alone," I shoved his hand off, cleaning my face with the back of my hand as I took a step to cross to the other side of the street, my feet had barely touched the ground when I felt a strong grip on my wrist.

Raymond pulled me back with so much force that I came crashing into him as a car passed us, the driver and the woman in the passenger seat cursing us as they drove off.

Our eyes met as my body remained glued to him, my lips slowly parting.

Why did he have to be so handsome and still be a cheat, I had thought he wasn't like other men, that he wouldn't fall for me but he had fallen, like a fool.

"Who did that to you?" he asked finally bringing his hand to my cheeks as I squeezed my face at the feel of his hand on my face as it felt like a sting.

Ouch.

I moved a step back as he continued to look at my face angrily.

Why was he angry about my face? Shouldn't he be worried about the fact that he had just cheated on his girlfriend, was he a playboy? but who wouldn't be angry at my face, I had not seen my face yet but I could swear it was already swollen.

"Who did that to you?" he asked more angry than before.

"Nobody," I wanted to yell at him to tell him to go and worry about his girlfriend but I had already gone through so much trouble to now ruin the plan.

"I have ice in the car, let's..."

"Thank you but I am fine, I dont..."

"I wasn't asking, its an order," Raymond said staring at me.

Who the hell was he to order me around? Who did he think he was? It was what my head was thinking but my legs were moving to his car and getting my ass inside.

The driver started the engine immediately Raymond entered and zoomed off, I thought the worst was over until I caught sight of my mother looking at the car zoom off with a worried look. She couldn't see the inside because it was tinted and I could only pray that she had not seen me and Raymond when we were outside.

It seemed she had come out to look for me but what if I went back now, no I couldn't.

My mum was not aware of mine and Kira’s plan and me coming out of Raymond's car would only make her believe that I was truly sleeping with Raymond and of course Raymond would also find out that I was nothing but a liar.

I  didn't like the idea of Raymond finding out such about me and I didn't know why.

Ouch! I cried out when I felt something cold on my cheek, instinct wanted me to pull back but I suddenly felt Raymond hand on my head softly holding me still.

While I was lost in thought, he had already wrapped the ice in a hand towel and placed it to myself.

"The sting will stop," he reassured me as my eyes watered with tears again, I believed his words and truly the sting reduced and became soothing.

"That's much better," he smirked like he could see it in my eyes that i was relaxed. "Now who did this to you?"

I stared at him quickly thinking of what to say to him, he had not even made mention of what had just happened at the hotel room, was he that embarrassed about it that he didn't what to talk about it?

"I was in a fight," I lied, well it wasn't really a lie as my mother was on the verge of whooping my ass.

"With your sister Kira?"

"Yes."

 Wait what? My eyes widened.
