Lashed Out At Me

POV: Selina
I couldn’t tell anyone, I don’t know who to trust in this office. I’ve always wondered why everyone seems loyal to her, like, too loyal. Now I’m beginning to think that they all have something to gain from siding with them, or maybe she blackmailed them all and had them shut up. With the stunt she pulled down there, there is no telling what she is capable of.
I met a package on my table the moment I walked into my office. I thought it was a surprise gift from Amara to celebrate my first day at work, but when I saw the note on top the box, I knew immediately that it was left for me by Felix.
“I hope this makes up for the accident this morning, my pet.” He wrote. I smiled as I tore the package open and saw the latest iPhone box sitting prettily in it’s box. I gasped in shock and rushed to inbox it faster. This is a phone I’d always dreamed of but I could never afford it. When I opened the phone pack, I found another note from him,
“Call me, my love. I want to be the first you call on your new phone. Call me first, no one else, but me!” he told me. Okay, yeah, it sounds a bit weird, but that’s okay. He should be the first I call with the new iPhone he just bought for me.
“I was waiting to hear your amazing voice, where have you been all day?” he asked me in a sweet tone that took all my anger away. Maybe I should tell him about Mrs Wilson, would he believe me, does he trust me enough to believe me over her?
“This is so beautiful, Felix. I’ve always wanted to own a phone like this. Thank you Felix, thank you so much,” I told him excitedly.
“Why don’t you thank me love dinner tonight?” he asked me.
“I would love that,” I responded coolly, cozying up to him. I couldn’t stop smiling as I went around and sat on my seat, thinking about him. After work, he unexpectedly appeared in front of me as I was heading to my car.
“You aren’t going to cancel on me, are you?” he asked teasingly, reminding me that we were meant to go to dinner. I thought I could get home first, freshen up and get into something more cozy. But he came up to me as I tried to leave and he asked me out to dinner, again.
This time he asked me in front of a lot of people, making me feel embarrassed under the ambiguous gazes of my colleagues. I could hear them whispering to themselves, saying mean things about me. Some thought it was beautiful that the boss is seeing me, while some thought I was a slut.
Their words were getting to me, I became uncomfortable with their comments and I turned to see the faces that were saying those mean things about me. But Felix used his hand to turn my face back to him, forcing me to look at him,
“Eyes on me, Selina. When you are with me, you see no one else and nothing else. These ladies are not mad at you for being with me, they are simply jealous, my love. They wish to be in your position. They all want a piece of me, but I am not buying what they are selling. They don’t appeal to me, they are not like you.
They don’t have your smile, your amazing curves and that cute attitude that makes me want to keep you locked in…” he paused when I squinted my eyes at his choice of words, but he smiled warmly at me and pulled me into his arms.
“I love you, and that’s all you need to know,” he told me with a bright smile, warming his way into my heart. Hell, he already has a spot in my heart already. He has charmed his way into my heart, I don’t think I’ve ever loved this hard. I’ve never felt this way for a guy, I never even have the time to date anyone.
I eventually got into the car, I sat on the passenger seat and he shut the door before turning to get into the drivers seat. He spoke a lot about Lina, and he begged me to come over often to take care of her and be with her. It seems like he was using her to get me to come over and that seems a bit hilarious because I hate the damn Rabbit. Having the same name with her is enough reason to make me hate her.
Not to mention that she occupies a part of his heart, which is kind I of annoying. I agreed to come over anyways and he smiled so brightly, taking my hand to his mouth and kissing the back of my hand. He held my hand after kissing it, he held it close to his face, kissing it often. My phone rang in my bag and I tried to retract my hand from his to pick my call,
“Get rid of that fucking phone!” he screamed angrily, crushing my fingers with his hand.
“Awww…
Stop it, Felix!
You are hurting my hand, it hurts a lot, stop it!” I cried out in pain. He listened to me and released his hard grip on my hand. But he still didn’t let me go, he still held on to my hand as if I was going to run out of a moving car. I struggled to free my hand, but he brought my hand to his face and held it there, forcing me to feel his cheeks.
“Don’t struggle with me!
You don’t speak with anyone when you’re with me, Selina. You are all mine, I need you to get that. Put the phone away and just cuddle with me!
You feel that?
That is my heart beating for you, this is how much I care about you, why cant you see that?” he yelled angrily, letting go of my hand roughly. His phone rang at that moment and he banged it hard on the steering, lacking out at everyone and everything. I wanted to yell back at him, but I was scared he was going to crash the car and kill us both. I don’t know about him but I don’t want to die yet, no kidding.
After that outburst, our relationship became more complicated. There was silence in the car, I didn’t say a word to him and neither did he. He was a bit restless anyway, he kept pulling his hand through his hair, tapping furiously at the steering. I felt bad for him, I feel I’m the reason he is this furious and it made me sad to see him this way.
“I’m sorry,” I muttered softly.
