She's back
/-Riley-/
Shortly after my little fight with Liam, the bell rings again. I wonder who it is this time. I open it to get the shock of my life. I blink twice.
"Diane?".
"I know I'm the last person you wanna see now but I'm sorry, Riley. Please hear me out" She pleads and i cross my arms.
"Go on" I urge. I really wanna know what this new drama is about.
"I'm sorry for being a bitch. I haven't been the best sister, i know but please give me another chance. Please, Riley" She pleads. I stare at her, skeptically. Diane, apologising? That isn't something you see every day.
"Uhm..okay I guess. I don't hold any grudge against you" I smile and she engulfs me in a really tight hug. I feel very weird cause this is actually the first time she's hugging me. This tight, i mean.
"You have no idea how happy I am" She says.
"I know. Its the only reason I can't breathe now" I choke out and she lets go with an apologetic smile.
"Come in" I offer and she obliges. I shut the door behind her and remember I've got a sassy housemate. I just hope Liam takes it easy on her.
/-Diane-/
Perfect.
Still naive as ever. I knew I could pull this through. I just needed the right amount of tears and sorry. My eyes travel round the house.
I can't believe Dean got her this beautiful house. I can't even believe she's the reason he resisted me the other time. I'm only back here cause I'm in serious trouble.
Riley was never supposed to meet Dean in that club. In fact, i had gotten someone for her but she just couldn't stay put. She just had to find her way into Dean's bed. She was going to be raped alright, but not by Dean but Javier.
Javier is one of the cruelest arm dealers in L.A. He came to San Franciso for a deal and that was where I met him. He needed someone to warm his bed throughout his stay and he paid heavily for her.
I heard he escaped rehab twice and is a masochist. He's so brutal that the girls don't survive it. Riley was perfect but she managed to get away and now he thinks I swindled him. I just have to get her back to him so I can have some peace.
Maybe then, Dean would be open so I could take her place. God, i hate seeing her. While she strolls to the kitchen to get me a drink, some hottie descends the stairs.
Who is he? Is Riley cheating on Dean already? Why does she get all the cute guys? I pass a smile. A seductive one and he scrunches his nose in distaste. Riley comes out with a glass of juice. He takes it from her and gulps everything.
"What the fuck! That wasn't yours" She raises her voice.
"Whose?" He shrugs fixing the glass in her hand.
"Mine" I reply instead and he cackles.
"Oh, it's for the ugly blonde. She can get herself another if she's thirsty". My jaw drops. Ugly blonde? How dare he..!
"That's my sister your talking about" Riley says in annoyance.
"Really? No one saw her when you were sold off. I remember she's the bitch that snitched you to your parents. Correct me if I'm wrong" He snorts and Riley bites her lip.
"You can't just judge people...."
"You're a rat. Possibly a snake too. Riley, why'd you let her in again?" He asks and she opens her mouth to speak but nothing comes out.
"Right. You see the good in everyone. Lemme guess she came to you with swollen eyes whining how sorry she is. Maybe how she met Christ on her door, yeah? Changed overnight" He smirks.
"I won't have you insult me. Who the hell do you think you are anyway?" I yell. He chuckles and walks out. I turn to Riley.
"Who is that guy?" I ask keeping my anger at bay.
"Forget him. He's always like that, okay? He said worse to Tess" She tries to soothe me and i take a deep breath. I won't let that jerk ruin my plans. I'm here to stay whether he likes it or not.
All I need to do is figure a way to get closer to her. Her phone beeps on the couch beside me. I pick and take a quick look. Dean? I force a smile when she takes the phone from me. Her lips curve into a beautiful smile as soon as she sees it.
She throws herself on the couch and starts texting back.
"Lover boy, i see" I tease sitting opposite her. Colour creeps slowly on her cheeks as he texts back. I wonder what they're talking about. I wish he was texting me instead. It would have been me if she wasn't here. I need to execute my plans quicker than planned else I might die of jealousy.
/-Liam-/
I ruffle my hair and light my cigarette. Why do i see this gold diggers everywhere? And Riley, she's too naive to see what they're doing.
First, Roman, the bastard who wants everything his brother has. Dean and Roman have had a very rough relationship since Tatiana. Before then, Roman wasn't such an asshole.
But after Tatiana picked Dean, he's been a dick. Going after everything Dean has and funny enough, Dean let's the bastard have his way. Aside asking his inheritance to be given to Roman, he's spent a lot of money on the prick.
And what does Roman do? He takes the money, vanishes to some unknown place and spends to the very last dime. He comes back broke and asks for a company to manage. He crashes it within few months and disappears then returns broke again.
If he isn't ruining Omar's company, it's Dean's. If he isn't spending Dean's money, it's his mom's cause Omar swore never to lend him a dime. He almost got disowned but his mom saved the day since Dean has refused to come home and Omar forbade her from visiting him.
Everything's just crazy and complicated. And me? My dad's Omar's right-hand man. Dean doesn't know this and i don't intend to tell him. He wants nothing to do with Omar's empire but he's oblivious of the fact that his father's most trusted men are around him, protecting him. Else he would have been wasted years ago.
My phone rings and i check the ID. I smile immediately and answer it.
"Dad".
"How're you doing son?" He asks.
"I'm cool. Just work" I shrug.
"Work huh? I believe that doesn't include getting down with some hot newyorker. What's his name again...Flynn" He says and i chuckle.
"Are you stalking me? It's my personal life, man" I whine.
"Yeah, it's none of my business. But then, who's the girl you're always with? I know you have no plans of turning straight but i still like the idea of grandchildren" He taunts and I look around in embarrassment like anyone can hear him.
"Dad! Stay off my life. Besides she's taken. Dean's girlfriend. And what's your problem with grandchildren huh? You've got ten already from your other children".
"Whatever. Just don't fuck and forget the reason you're there or Omar will have your head. Aside that, he misses you. You know since Dean left, you've been like his son but he's still gonna kill you if you mess up tho" He says and i chuckle.
"I miss him too and I'm doing my job. Stop bugging my already, go to your wife" I groan.
"My wife? I'm in Hawaii chilling with my women. You're mom's free to cheat as well" He says and i laugh. He's a crazy man.
"Piss off, already. Go to your women and let me enjoy mine or I'll call mom right now and she's gonna nag you for the next six months " I threaten and he hangs up immediately. I laugh heartily. My parents are actually divorced, mom's idea yet she doesn't wanna see him with anyone. He uses the opportunity to make her jealous and she comes nagging each time.
I throw down the cigarette and crush it under my foot. I need to see the men. What do i tell, Riley? She's already suspicious of me. I can't say I'm going to school cause she won't buy it.
Then I remember there's a witch in the house too. I can't leave Riley with her for any reason. She's up to something and I'm gonna find out.
