Ted

/-Riley-/
"So what'd we do today?" I ask Liam.
"Well it's Friday and there'll be lots of parties everywhere. Just shop and attend one" He shrugs.
Party? The last time I attended one, I got Dean.
I'm scared of getting into another fix. I'm supposed to be in school but somehow Liam convinced me to skip with him. Maybe it was easy cause I didn't finish my homework thanks to Dean.
Speaking of Dean, why hasn't he called me yet? I pick my phone to check if i missed his beep or something but nothing.
Has he forgotten already? But he promised. Or is there some girl over there distracting him?
"What's going on in that messed up head of yours?" Liam asks.
"He hasn't called. Do you think he forgot?" I muse.
"I think he's caught up with work. If he promised to call then he will. Stop worrying over nothing".
"Are you sure? What if there's some other girl there?". He chuckles.
"You know what, let's just go shopping" he says.
"I don't need clothes. I have enough" i say.
"You mean those ball gowns stacked in your closet?" He archs a brow.
"They're not ball gowns" I frown.
"Let's go have a look". He take my hand and we move upstairs to my room.
He opens my closet while I settle on my bed with folded arms.
"So I'm gonna pick it the clothes you need to trash. Okay?" He asks and i nod.
I watch him throw out my clothes in horror. Does he know how much one gown costs? God, is that my favourite shirt?
"Hey that's my favorite Tee. Leave it alone" I pout.
"You mean this Mickey mouse trash?" He asks and my jaw drops. He throws it out too and my eyes water.
He practically empties my entire closet.
"If these are what you call clothes then you don't have a closet" he states.
"But there's nothing wrong with it."
"This isn't some fairytale, Riley. Stop acting like you're in Disneyland or something. You ain't a kid. Live your age sometimes." He groans.
"You threw my favorite Tee" I mutter.
"Take my frickin soul. Are you being serious? You know what, I think Dean totally forgot about you" he huffs and my eyes snap to him.
"Yeah. No one carries a doll in mind. I think you need to see Dean's toys" he says walking over to the table.
He picks my tab and types whatever then sits beside me. I take a look and my eyes bulge. She's so gorgeous.
"Samantha Freeman. she's from Ukraine. A lead model. Do you any teddy bear in her hands?" Liam asks. I shake my head. He swipes to the next.
"Oh my gosh! Is that Sofiya?" I gasped. She looks so outta this world in the blue mermaid dress.
"Yeah. Do you see any Mickey mouse Tee?" He asks and i bite my lip. He swipes to the next.
"Agatha Gonzales. Philippine singer. Is she covered in pink?" He asks and i stare hopelessly. They're so classy and hot.
"Janelle Morgan. A diver. Does she dress like Cinderella?".
My mouth goes agape. She's definitely not human. She's got perfect curves and a charming face.
I feel so inferior. What the hell is Dean doing with me? I'm not half as pretty as these girls and I'm not sure my figure's half as tempting as theirs. Liam tries to swipe again but i stop him.
"Please don't show me anymore. I feel so...."
"Inferior? Yes. You should feel that way. These women live everyday of their lives trying to please Dean. Hoping maybe he'll do more than just fuck them. You see Dean is a man who gets bored easily and these ladies will go to any length to have him call them back. Monica Delaquez, heard of her?" He asks and i nod negatively.
"What the fuck do you do on the net? Whatever. She was one of the girls he played with and she thought he had something for her. She told the press they were dating but in an interview, Dean told her to her face, she was boring." I gasp. That's mean.
"Now I'll ask you. What makes you better than these women? What do you have that they don't? What attracted Dean to you?".
I suck my lower lip. I really don't know. If he gets bored so easily then he should be tired of me already right?
Wait..is that why he hasn't called? I don't wanna think about it.
"I don't know" I reply.
"Well I know. Nothing!" He says bluntly and i hit him.
"Stop being so mean. That was a cruel thing to say."
"It's the truth. Start living your age. It'll do you some good. If you continue this way, you're gonna loose him sooner than you expect" he says.
"Fine let's go shopping" I say and he tosses my Tee back. I hug it happily.
"I knew it wasn't that bad".
"It's just as bad as the rest. I just gave it back cause it's your fav" he shrugs and i smile.
My phone rings and i scream in excitement on seeing the ID.
"I know it's him. Can you not deafen me?" He groans.
"Wifey..." His husky voice makes my tummy tingle.
"You're late" I try to sound mad.
"I know". That's it?
"You know? You're with some girl over there, right?". He chuckles.
"You sound so cute. I wish I could kiss you" he says and i smile.
"Don't try to get off the hook. I thought...."
"I forgot you? I told you you're not that easy to forget but you're too stubborn to listen whenever I'm talking".
"So you're turning it on me now?"
"This is why I called late. I kinda miss the way we fight. I was hoping I could start one" he chuckles.
My mouth opens but nothing comes out. I don't even know what to say to him.
"You're one strange man. While others pray for peace, you're hoping to start a fight".
"What can I do? Italy's boring without you" he says and i blush.
"Why?".
"I dunno. I keep thinking of you every passing second. I wanna touch you so bad and it's fuckin scary. I've never missed anyone as much as I miss you" he says.
How does he do it? He makes my heart skip without even trying. And he's got a way with words. Maybe that's what makes them crazy about him.
"Isn't Lilah there to keep you company?" I ask and he hangs up. I guess I made him mad. I call him and he doesn't answer. After trying severally, he finally answers.
"Why do you always find a way to annoy me?". He doesn't bother to hide the annoyance in his voice.
"You wanted a fight. You have it. Bring it on, I'm ready for you" I say and he chuckles.
"Little witch. Using my words against me huh?".
"Just doing it your way".
"Delilah cant be compared to you. I want you. Only you" he says.
"I guess we'll see soon huh?".
"Yeah, quite soon. When I'm back, I don't want you going anywhere".
"You were the one who left to Italy. You left me alone" I state.
"I'll make it up to you. I promise".
/-Delilah-/
"A call from Janelle. Boss said to tell her he's outta town" Rhett says handing the phone to me.
I take it and walk away from him.
"Dean doesn't wanna see you" I tell her.
"Why? It's been six months already, doesn't he miss me?" She asks and i scoff.
"No he doesn't. He's got a new catch and she's been distracting him lately" i say.
"You're kidding right?".
"Go ahead and laugh then" i huff.
"I can't let that happen. I've come too far to have him forget about me. Who's she?".
"Some high school Barbie" I smirk.
"Is this some sorta joke? When did Dean pick interest in teens?" She asks unable to believe.
"Bummer huh? That's what we're all wondering. He seems pretty serious about her too."
"Forward her details. I'm gonna inform the rest. This is an insult we can't ignore" she growls and i smirk.
"Sure. Expect them soon" I say and hang up.
Maybe I really don't have to do anything. Just sit and let them do the work.
All I need to do now is keep Dean in Italy and I know just how to do it.
I check his contacts and scroll down until i find her number. I place a call and wait patiently for an answer.
"Daddy?" His voice comes on the other side of the line.
"It's aunt Delilah" I say.
"Where's my daddy?" He asks.
"He's in a meeting. You see baby, Daddy's in town".
"Really? He's in Italy? Why didn't he tell me?" He asks lowly.
"He's in a meeting. You wanna see him?" I ask.
"Yeah".
"Good. Take a cab and come over to the office. You can do that right?".
"Yeah. I'll be there soon" he says before hanging up.
I smirk. The moment Ted comes over, Dean will be forced to spend time with him and that'll buy Janelle enough time to deal with Riley.
Wondering who Ted is? He's the only person Dean values more than his life.
Tatiana's son.
