She stopped him. “No, I don’t want to.”Her rejection left Chase shocked as he exclaimed, “So you did like Jeremy when we were together?”“I never did, but he was there for me, even though I fell for you and left him. He was there for me and very nice.”“So you knew that we would end up breaking up, and he was your backup.”“I never said that. I fought and cried for you not to dump me, but you refused. This was all on you.”“The way you were treating me did not match your words.”“Why does that matter? You did not love me and I was just for sex.”“I see, still mad about that.”“Just like you’re still mad about Jeremy, I guess.”“Fine, fair point, so you want to rub it in my face. That is why you kissed him in front of my place.”“No, you’re worse than me, bringing girls over and having sex with them. You know well that I would hear.”“It’s my place and secondly, am I not allowed to have sex?”“So let me also do what I want. Am I not allowed to kiss or have sex too?”“You are going to
Storm realized that he had a cut on his hand and it was bleeding, she headed to the kitchen to check for the first aid kit.After digging around, she was finally glad to find it and hurried back to the living room. She dropped it by the couch and went up to him.He was looking at her and seemed to not care that she was in front of him. She took his hand, and even though he was reluctant, she managed to get him to the couch."What the fuck is it again?""Your hand, it's bleeding."For the first time, he looked at his hand. "So what?""I got a first aid kit.""I don't need it, it will heal soon.""Don't make this difficult Chase, you can carry on with your drinking whilst I nurse your wound.""Suit yourself."She took out some spirits and cotton; she began to dab softly on his wound. She looked at his face, worried that she might be hurting him.He did not seem to care, nor did he flinch or was in pain, but she caught his eyes and held her breath.She shook her head and looked away. Wha
Storm made her way out and was glad that Chase had not heard her heading out, the alcohol and sleeping late must have knocked him out.She went and met up with Meghan and Paige,“Thought we would see Chase behind you.” Said Meghan.“He is passed out.”“He must knocked out if he could not hear you leave,” Paige replied.“Yep, I don’t know what happened, but he was pissed and broke glasses, and downed down some whiskey.”“Damn, must have been pretty bad news,” Paige replied.“Did you ask him what it was all about?” Meghan replied.Storm told them everything that had happened between,“So he wants you to be the other woman, a secret?” Said Meghan in shock.“Pretty much, made me furious too.”“So, do you know the girl he will be marrying?” Paige replied.“Not yet but all I know is that it is an arranged marriage.”“How are you taking it?” Meghan replied.“Hurt of course, but he was jealous, that Jeremy and I kissed.”“YOU WHAT?” Paige replied.She told them about how she hung out with Jeremy,
"You said that it was just sex.”“It was.”He let her go and she made her way to her room. He still had the power to hurt her with those simple words.Dinner time came and she was seated opposite him. The air was very tense. She had nothing to say to him.“Are you still mad at me?”“No Chase, I’m not. I don’t have anything to say to you.”“I see, so you’re mad.”“You know what? Everything in my life does not revolve around you. I want us to capture whoever is behind this.”“You want to leave that badly?”“Yes, I can’t wait.”“Fine, I will have to upgrade the security and when that is done, you may leave.”He walked away and left her there. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and went to her room. After a week, she was ready to go back to her place.Chase was not there, and she left. Part of her had hoped that he would ask her to stay, but he did not. She had not seen him the past week at all, after their chat about her wanting to leave.She finally went back to her place,Storm sat on
Chase took hold of her hand and placed it on his bare chest, “I’m real.”“Why show up now?”“Why must I not? Did something happen?”“Yes, Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend.”“And what did you say to him?”“He said I should think about it.”“Is that why you’re drinking?”“Yes, out of guilt, I should have said yes, regardless.”“So why did you not?”“I don’t know.”“Clearly you don’t want to be his girlfriend.”“And how do you know that?”“You wouldn’t be here drinking.”“I will say yes when I see him.”“Fine, do that.”“Aren’t you at least a bit jealous?”“Why would I be?”“I’m your ex.”“So? You were the one that wanted to leave my place so badly.”“You were the one who dumped me, Chase, and I told you I loved you.”“So you wanted me to lie and tell you that I loved you back?”She swallowed a huge lump. “Part of me wanted you to, I guess.”“I see how much you wanted me.”“You’re the one that made me love and lose my mind, and you know that Jeremy is not the reason why we broke up.
“Who was that?”“No one.”“I’m not going to ask you twice.”“I really don’t, but I could sense them.”“What did they say?”“That I have some power and they will tell me later on.”“You aren’t planning to go alone, do you?”“I don’t know.”“You’re not that fucking stupid.”“I don’t want to fight now, Chase.”“Don’t you remember that someone is after you and you were injured?”“I know that, but maybe it is not them.”“You’re coming back to stay with me.”“I don’t want…………..”“I don’t give a shit. I need to watch you 24/7 so you don’t some stupid shit.”“No.”“What did you say to me?”“NO! You want to use your title and position to bully me. I don’t want to be around you anymore and I want to move on from you.”As Chase was about to come to her, she double-lunged and landed a blow. It caught him off-guard, her training was paying off.He looked at her with a smirk on his face and came to her as she tried again. He had her pinned on the ground. “Those work on others but not from me.”She
They got to his place, and she went to her room; it was a bit awkward after the hug, but after unpacking her things, she lay in bed.What did those people want from her, and what power did she have? Did they know her? She tossed and turned a bit.The conversation and the hug kept on creeping in. She grabbed her phone and texted Jeremy that she would see him tomorrow during lunch.Storm wanted to let him know that she wanted to be his girlfriend. There was a light knock on her door, “Come in.”Chase walked in. “Are you going to say yes?”“I’m not getting you?”“To Jeremy?”“Yes, it’s not like you want me.”“Okay, he is good for you and reliable.”“You were all those things for me, Chase.”“I know, but I’m not as steady as him.”“You were, and even now, you come out and protect me whenever I’m in danger and you make sure that I’m safe even now.”“I will always be there for you, no matter the cost.”“I missed being in your arms.”Days had gone by and the night with Chase was forgotten an
She now sat in between Paige and Meghan,“He did what?” Paige asked.At this moment, she did not give a rat’s ass if they could hear them. “Yes, she is in there with him.”“He thinks it’s a joke that he keeps playing you,” Meghan replied.“Honestly, I’m not even supposed to be mad. He did break up with me.”“It’s okay to be upset,” Paige replied.“I initiated most of those conversations.”“What do you want to do now?” Meghan replied.“I don’t know. Kelsey asked if I could leave but Chase refused.”“I think he enjoys tormenting you,” Paige replied.“Right, he seems to be the possessive type, and on a power trip,” Meghan replied.“I just need to work on catching the person that is causing all of this. I don’t want to stay with them or else I will lose my shit watching and hearing them.”“That’s tough, maybe eating together won’t be that bad,” Paige replied.“It is. We had dinner and it was awkward. Chase barely talks. Kelsey is strict, just a disaster.”Her friends listened to her as sh
