Chapter 10 Why can't I just stop feeling miserable
Chapter ten
, "I just said you will be the one to follow me to the party"
I smile, "Yes sure, "I like the way he contours his face and the way his voice seems to switch between these two different voices
"You should get something beautiful to wear"
I smile and shrug slightly, "Of course"
"I will pick you up at home".
" Alright sir," I finish and turn to leave. Wait for a second! Have I gone mad? What! Party! I turn around to look at him"I will be the one to follow you to the party!" my voice almost shook the whole room.
Michael stared at me with zero expression, "What did you think I said?"
"OMG! But Elizabeth is supposed to be the one to follow you"
"I own this company and I determine who does the following," he says firmly. God, I don't believe this. Ok, this is unlike me but I've just realized I've lost some dignity in me. You don't expect me to go to a rich party. A low ass like me. This is so crazy. What if something goes wrong?
"You will be fine with me," he promises and I take a deep breath.
I mean you know there are times where you will do anything to uphold your dignity. But whenever they get broken, you seriously can't amend it. I just hope nothing bad happens.
I feel so happy today. I've never been so happy. Although I know my life will never be the same. For a reason, I will still be popular but I wish it will die down quickly.
"Sam!" I scream as I walk inside the house," Sam, I brought__" I nearly finished when he runs out and ends in my embrace. I stood still for a while, skeptical before hugging him back and rubbing his back slightly.
After a while, he pulls back and looks at me. I can see a trace of tears in his eyes, "Are you alright? I was scared something bad had happened to you after what happened this morning, "I was suddenly moved to tears. I didn't know he cared so much for me. I pull him back into another hug to enable me to swallow back the tears that that morning incident is bringing. I pull back again and smile at him, "I'm very much alright. See, I brought you some things and the good news is that you will go back to school by the end of this month"
Sam smiles, "it's fine by me. I just want you to be alright."
I smile again, "Thanks for worrying about me but the matter has been settled by one of the law enforcement agencies. No one will ever disturb me again".
"Really?"
I nod positively, "Yes"
He pouted childishly, "Who was the guy that hugged you earlier?"
I laugh at his question, "That was my boss"
His eyes narrow in shock, "Your boss is so rich. Did you see the car he brought?"
I nod severally, innocently, "I saw it. Can I tell you a secret?" I watch him nod, "His house looks like a huge palace. Don't tell anyone about it"
"Wow, are you kidding me! You went to his house!" Nancy yells from around somewhere.
I laugh. Nancy will always be Nancy.
I signal to Sam to go in. He nods and walks in. I stand and look at Nancy, "Where the heck have you been?"
"No, tell me your gist. Your gist seems funnier than I. I will tell you mine later.
I chuckle," Well, Dave finally apologized and it's all settled.
Nancy's eyes went wider and darker with a huge surprise, "The famous God apologized? Damn, Jones. You don't always quite amuse me. So, Michael took you home?" Is she kidding me right now?
"No, it's not like that," I defend quickly. He was only trying to help.``And I have a party to attend with him. It's a party organized by the rich. I'm so anxious"
Nancy look at me and smile, "Leave that to me"
I laugh out loud. Nancy can be dramatic sometimes.
I just seriously hope nothing happens
Daves
Today is Saturday and dad's birthday. He's around already. He came back yesterday. Seriously, I don't have the strength to go to parties. But trust dad to take it far like threatening to disown me. He can do it because he has done it once for my elder brother born to one of his mistresses. The guy tried all his best to reconcile with him but dad refused to give him a face.
The most annoying thing here is the fact that Michael was invited to the party. I don't know why I have an annoying family. On top of it, everyone around me sees Michael as some gods to be worshiped and it's frustrating.
A knock and the door open slowly, "May I enter?"
I groan, "Chill away. I will come downstairs when I'm done"
"Alright sir," Mara says and closes the door.
I get out of bed and look at myself in the mirror. I'm 6ft tall, strong, muscular, sexy, hot, and handsome. Is there something I don't have?
Yes, and it's one of the reasons I'm fighting with Michael.
But what can make girls dump me? That's a question I've been dying to know but the answer always seems to elude me. Perhaps I'm meant to stay alone and lonely forever.
What exactly does Michael have that I don't? I know he's better than I am but what made him better? God, this is so frustrating.
Convincing myself for the umpteenth time that day that I'm better than Michael even though a part of me seems to disagree at once. Everything is just going against me. I walk inside the hall with Kim. We were told to bring our date and since I have no girlfriend, I had to tell Kim. I can't even bring one of my casual friends or Dad would start his question roll. I'm so tired of that old man. Seriously, I miss my mom.
I look at Kim, "We came together doesn't mean we will leave together. I only brought you here because I had no choice, ok?"
Kim smiles brightly as if I did her a huge favor by bringing her, "Thank you, sir."
I move away from her, going nowhere in particular but I'm sure the old man is around somewhere. I must greet him. I stop walking, staring afar at dad talking to a man I don't know. I start towards them again. Before I could get there, dad rounded off his chat and the man walked away. Dad looks at me and smiles proudly
"You've grown so well into a handsome man like me," he says with so much pride.
I scoff, "I took after my mom not you, "I mumble to myself so he wouldn't hear me, "Happy Birthday dad"
"I expected this hours ago but you are just telling me?" He raised a brow and the smile was gone from his face, "Where Michael," he looked around me as if I was hiding him in my suit. This man is really funny.
"I don't know," I shrug slightly.
"What did I tell you about him? I told you guys to partner up to make the company a successful one. You won't love it if he partners with another company."
I don't seriously care but I'm never going to work with that idiot," I don't want to be any radius close to him dad", I try to explain hoping he would understand," We are competitors, not friends"
"Then start the friendship zone!" He commands as usual," I'm calling him over right now to discuss with him. I don't need your opinions. I never asked for it anyways,' he says finally and turns to walk away.
I'm left still standing and astonished at what he had just said. Am I sure this is my dad?
I need to chill out. Let me just grab a bottle of wine from the party, something alcoholic.
I whirl around and start walking back into the main hall. I hit a lady mistakenly. She looked up at me and I could behold the frustration her face held. Her dress looks ruined with wine. And her hair, they also smell of wine. Someone must have poured content on her. But wait, why does she look so familiar? Wait for a second!"Jones?"
She gives me a dirty stare before walking away. I look at her for a moment until she has successfully exited the door. What the heck was that? She looks so different. Who gave the silly girl a dress? I'm sure she brought them with the money I gave her mother. I look ahead of me, afar at Kim laughing alone. Something is telling me Kim was the lady that spilled wine on Jones. I'm not going to punish her. I wanted to make her pay anyways because of Michael. For all I care. I will make sure I stop dad from partnering with Mercury light.
I grab a cup of wine and drink. I just want to get drunk. I feel so miserable right now. I close my eyes to feel the air around me
"OMG!" a soft voice exclaims. I open my eyes and stare deep at the owner. It's Evelyn. Evelyn is the daughter of my father's friend and she had been crushing on me since high school. I didn't want to cause trouble with my dad so I ignored her then," it's you, Daves, you look hot," I smiled at her. Evelyn hasn't changed either. I can only imagine with the way she's moving her eyes over me that she has already naked me in her eyes. Talk of the Devil, she moves her mouth to my ear, "Can we see outside now?"
"Sure," I say and watch her walk out. I need to free my mind and my head. Maybe what I need to ng sex. And it's not going to cause any misunderstanding between me and dad because Evelyn initiated it.
I look around briefly for Michael and dad but they are nowhere to be found. I wonder exactly what they are still talking about.
Sighing, I walk out of the hall. While I'm still looking around, wondering where Evelyn went to, a message enters my phone and it's from her. Wait, how did she get my number?
I walk further and see her leaning on her car. I walk closer, "You sure always know your ways"
She looks at me and chuckles, "The only thing I failed to do is get you to enter my pants," she pulled herself closer, leaning her large breasts against my chest. I kiss her lips, savoring the taste of citrus and strawberry. I move my hands behind her back and squeeze her ass slightly. She gives out a moan.
The car is open, so I push her in with me on top of her. It's dark so we won't get noticed by anyone.
She was wearing a sleeveless gown so it was easy to pull it down, to stare at her full hardened breast.
I kiss her further, squeezing her breast slightly while her hand is already on my manhood massaging it. I feel so hard now.
I remember when I saw Michael having sex with my girlfriend. It's a memory I can never wash away. The memory pulled me to a stop and I find myself staring down at Evelyn.
Is anything wrong?" I nod negatively, then she leans in and starts kissing me again. Minutes later, she pulled back again, "Enough of all the play, I can't wait to have you in" Amazing right?
I pull out my manhood and rub her entrance with it. She groans at the act. I watch her for a while before I penetrate. She opened her mouth but resulted in a little moan.
I went in deeper, she seemed a little tighter than I expected.
