Chapter 26: Vivian's claims
VIVIAN'S P.O.V
She gave me that expressionless glances.
"Now your here complaining for your plan in you so-called vengeance. Are you being insane? You even had the guts to say that even if your the one that is trying to destroy a family."-Mara.
"Are you even my friend?"-I ask. She sigh.
"And you think I will stay beside you and listen to your useless rants and correct you if I wasn't? Vivian, since middle school and even now you keep on trying to take what isn"t belong to you. When are you going to stop with your princess syndrome?"
"What? Princess syndrome? Have you forgotten what Simone did to me?"-I said. Those memories suddenly appear in my head just like yesterday.
I smiled when I saw Rico at the gate but instead he walk straight to Simone that comes out from her car.
"Damn it! She keep on taking Rico's attention!"
"Here we go again Vivian, Rico had told you that Simone is the woman he love, not you."-Mara.
"Shut up Mara. You know that I hate Simone and I love Rico! She's the reason why mom pushes me to my limits. She always steal my seat. I am much smarter than her!"
"I don't know why you keep on saying that. Please, will you stop doing that?"-she said. I left her instead and walk straight to them. I grab Rico's hand.
"Hi babe. Oh, you. Do you need anything from my boyfriend, Simone?"-I ask. She smiled.
"Nope. It was him who approach me. I'll see you around Rico. Bye. Dana, Zyril let's go."-she said and left us.
"What is that, Vivian? Babe? Are you nuts?!"
"Hello?! I confess last week and we're technically in a relationship!"-I said. He push me and walk away.
"See? Stop being obnoxious, Vivian. Let"s go."
I followed Mara but when lunch break came, I saw those three sitting on a tree. I threw a stone to Simone but she use her book to shield her. She gave me a stare.
"What is wrong with you Westley?"-Dana.
"Stop seducing Rico or else I will never give you peace Lavelle. Seduce someone else, freak."
"You! Its you who should put a leash in your boyfriend because he"s tailing our friend."-Zyril. I laugh.
"Hah! How dare you accusing Rico like that. Just listen to me Simone, you will never have this one, nerd."-I said. I pointed her and she suddenly grab my finger and bend it back which gives me pain. She spoke.
"No one have the right to point me and make rude remarks against me. Especially accusing me for something I didn"t do. Don't try me, Vivian. I am not someone whom you can bully."-she said. She push me and that made me drag Mara out of that place.
"Stop acting like she owes you something because that never happen. It was you who keep on trying to destroy Simone. Stop it, before its too late."
"Mara, I am your friend not her."-I said.
"I don't know what should I do to you!"-she remark.
RUSSELL'S P.O.V
"What's with that face again, cousin?"-Luris.
"I decided to come here to cool down my head. I saw Edzen visits Simone in her company with a big bouquet of flowers. I don"t want to act on my own and I might offend him or Simone. We have already settled what Vivian did and I don"t want her to misunderstood me again."-I said.
"That means your jealous? You have the money and right, my cousin. You can buy her bigger bouquets and you can ask your wife for a date."
"A date? Speaking of which, we haven"t do that."
"See? Why don't you invite her for an intimate date this weekend? You might hit a home run, hmm?"
"Tss, I know you will add another color to my concern but your idea is not bad."-I said.
"Well, if you hit a home run and made her taste your romance, she will be more addicted to you and even Luris will try to seduce her, she will only want you. That's for sure."-he said and wink at me.
"Addicted? What do you think of lovemaking, a type of drugs?"-I ask. His smirk answers my question. Why do I even ask this Casanova?
"Yes, the sweetest and the best one. Especially its not that illegal as long as no one will file a rape case against you."-he added. I shook my head and smile as I sip some brandy. I look at him.
"Maybe you should find the right girl, cousin."
"I don't know cousin. I haven't found the girl I wanted to be with. But that girl is somehow challenging."-he said. That made me surprise.
"Challenging in what way?"-I ask. He smiled.
"That secretary of your wife is quiet different. She catch my interest actually."-he said.
"Hey, you shouldn't add her in your list. I am giving you a warning by now. I don't want my wife to get mad to you or to us. She might think that our family loves to hurt women."-I said. He laugh.
"Relax, I just want to tease that girl after I learn that she's the one who piss me off that day. She didn't catch my attention sexually. But who knows? What if like what movies always said, she might be the right woman for this Casanova."-he said.
"Cut it off, we know each other. You always say that but you keep on dumping your girl friends and you have more flings either."-I said. He laugh.
"Your really serious. But I promise, I am not doing that."-he said. I drink the last drop of the brandy and stood up. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"I'll go ahead. She might be waiting for me."
"Okay, okay. I will stay and hunt tonight."-he said.
"My goodness, just go home silly."-I said. I am about to leave when two women suddenly stop me.
"We knew it. You're the famous swimmer, Russell Maxwell. Can we have a picture?"-she said.
"We are your fans."-the other one said.
"Okay, no problem. Cousin, can you take us a picture?"-I ask. He nod and take their phones. They tried to cling at me sweetly but I made sure its just a civil picture for my fans. Luris gave their phone.
"Thank you."-they both said. I smiled.
"You're welcome, I have to go, ladies."-I said. I wave at them but they suddenly grab my hands.
"Hey, why don't you join us instead?"
"Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you ladies but..."
I take off their hands on me and raise my hand as I pointed my ring. Luris chuckled.
"Sorry ladies but my cousin here is married."
"But she is just a wife of convenience right? You can still play, you know?"-the other one said. I smiled.
"Yes, but she is still my wife. I'm sorry ladies but I really have to go."-I said and leave the fastest that I can. When I get home, I saw the flower on the garbage. That made me smile, it means she take it but she still put it on the garbage.
"I am worrying too much."-I mumbled. When I open the door, Mrs. Molly smiled when she saw me.
"Finally Sir your home. Ma'am Simone is waiting for you for dinner. I will heat up the food now. I hope you haven't eat your dinner yet."
"Not yet. Please do Mrs. Molly. Did you take your dinner either?"-I ask. She nod and smile.
"Ma'am Simone told me to eat already if I am hungry already. I will go and heat up the food then."
"Thanks Mrs. Molly."-I said. I went upstairs and saw her reading a twilight book. She stood up as soon as she saw me. I stood up in front of her.
"Let's have a date somewhere this weekend."
"Huh? A date? That's so sudden."-she said.
"Do you have plans this weekend?"-I ask.
"Nope, I don't have. I am just surprise."-she said.
"I'll freshen up and let's have dinner after."
"Wait, did you drink an alcohol."-she ask.
"Yes, with Luris. But just two glasses. I'm sorry if it stinks. I will brush my teeth after I take a shower."
"Is there a problem? From your dad or to your training? Or maybe that bitch?"-she ask. I laugh.
"Nothing, that cousin of mine ask me to have a drink but I left him as soon as his playboy mode is on. I know he is there for is pleasure."
"Is it a disco bar, night club or stripper's club?"
"Just a disco bar on the city. The famous one."
"Are you sure, hmm?"-she ask. I laugh.
"Yes, Mrs. Maxwell. I am not entering those type. Your husband is a public figure remember?"
"I am just asking. Go ahead then."-she said. I smiled and shook my head as I enter the bathroom.
'What a cute ball of jealousy. I can't believe I'll be drag into this type of relationship and I am glad that I agreed with this marriage. I feel happy because of her.'
"I think I am falling in love to her. I knew I am."
When I get out she's still sitting on the couch.
SIMONE'S P.O.V
A shadow covered the book that I am reading, a drop of water ruined a single word. I look up and saw my sexy and alluring husband in his wet look. My throat suddenly feels dry and I tried to calm myself from this situation. Shit! I can't!
"You just wet my book."-I said.
"I saw a bouquet in the trash can. I suddenly remember that while taking a shower. Who gave you that?"-he ask. I sigh and close the book.
"It's Edzen. He said its his way to show appreciation with the company's effort in helping the athlete's under coach Fallon."
"Him? Appreciation? Red roses? That big? If I am not mistaken that can be over a hundred roses."
"I am not lying. That's what he said. He also offers to treat me a snack and we eat in a coffee shop in front of the headquarter building."-I added.
"A coffee date, huh?"-he said. I saw how sexy his neck is as his Adams apple move up and down when he speak. I wanted to touch it actually.
"Nope. Not like that. I just saw that as a treat and I will never agree to go with him if that is a date."
"Are you sure, hmm?"-he ask. I nod. I raise my hand and caress his neck especially where his Adam's apple is. He moaned and that surprises me.
"I'm sorry, I am just curious because of that—"
His lips shut me off and gave me a torrid kiss. When we parted, my breathing is heavy and crave for another longer kiss. He must have know it because he claimed my lips once more and I cling my hands on his neck.
"We still have to eat dinner."-I said. He scoffs.
"Dang it."-he said. That made me laugh.
"Stop being cute. You're already did in my eyes. Go and change into your pajama's. Let's go down together, okay?"-I said. He sat down beside me instead. I think I shouldn't spoil the moment.
"Hey, are you mad?"-I ask and even pinch his cheek several times. He held my hand.
"Yes. You spoiled the moment, missy."-he said.
"Did you know that I like you the most when your being honest and never play charades with me? When your honest and tell me what you really feel?"
"Well, enjoy."-he said. I held his hand up and sat on his lap. His ears turns redder. I wrap my hand on his neck and look at him showing the real me.
"I am enjoying it."-I said. I kiss his neck and lick it down to his chest. I played his nipple and when I heard his heavy breathing and moans, it means I am doing a great job. Then underneath my thin underwear, I felt his arousal between my legs.
"Oh shoot."-he said. I started moving and I can feel his manhood twitching underneath. He grab my neck and kiss me deeply. But a knock wake us up.
"Ma'am Simone? Sir Russell?"-Mrs. Molly. Oh my!
