The Unloved Billionaires And I

I heard a glass shatter, I looked and saw Tobias had his mouth opened, just as shocked as I was, didn’t I hear that right you want to go out with me, “like a date?” I asked. Yes, he answered. “Why?” I questioned getting suspicious, my ear was pounding so loud, what do I say? I just nodded my head. “Is that a yes?” He asked, I nodded again smiling. After I dropped Isa at school I went straight to work. Tobias and Irene kept watching me and whispering at each other. I didn’t care. I was just so happy. During break Irene approached me. What got you all smiley, I rolled my eyes “like you don’t know already” she sighs, can we talk? Sure “what is it? Is it Lucas again, did he prank you?” no is not that, he did prank me but it was nothing serious, this is actually about you, me? Yes, “what’s the matter?” I heard you are going on a date with Lucas, yeah I am so excited, I saw Tobias had a worried face on, wha…what is it?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Do you really want to go out with him?” Yeah, it’s just a friendly date T you shouldn’t be bothered by it. Arya, I don’t want you to get hurt, you have to refuse, you don’t have to go, “what?” I already said yes and I want to go. You should support my decision and not be against it. You’re my friend and I want you to be happy but that happiness can’t be with Lucas, I held my tears, why? Because i’m not as rich as he is, or am not classy as the girls that he talks to, or am not beautiful uhm, that’s not true, first all those girls he talked to at the party was for business purpose, and you are very beautiful any guy will be lucky to have you but not Lucas. Why? “Do you remember why his face was bruised the last time?” Nah, I didn’t ask him who did it, if that is what you want to ask me, I did it, I hit him.

“Why would you do that?” Because he was talking shit about you, how you raped him and how low you were to drug him that you were nothing but a gold digger and a whore, I hated hearing him say such to you, why would you help me, you are my friend Arya, and friends look out for each other, Lucas isn’t wired to love all he cares about his work and now his daughter, he just want to use you.

“Use me? For what?”

You know to take care of his child,” he will find a way to tie you down to him, think about it Arya who in their right mind would accuse another after having sex and even insulting you, he didn’t even apologise. True but, there is no but, remember what I told you the first day we met “I shouldn’t fall in love with Lucas” and you did the opposite, what am I going to do now, I already said yes and he sent me a text message on the address, why can’t he pick you up if he really meant it, instead he want you to get dressed and meet him there, it sound stupid, you live together and he will come home and get changed so why can’t he take you their instead of asking you to meet him at the restaurant, have said my own Arya, but if you still want to go then go ahead.

I thought about it and questioned his motives, I changed my mind, got home and went straight to bed but not before switching off my phone and locking my door.

***********

Good morning mama, morning baby I said kissing her cheek, it was time for breakfast again, I kept thinking of what I did to Lucas, I did not go to the place he scheduled for our date, I had a lot on my mind that day, he never apologized for what happened that night, what if he wanted to apologize? I was getting a headache just thinking about it.

Mama…. Isa put her hand up wanting me to pick her up, alright baby, I extended my hand to pick her, when we got down I notice Lucas was at the dining whose face was blank, no smile, he must be upset, I composed myself, I made Isa breakfast, I can feel his eyes on me but I kept ignoring, I knew what I did.

I made Isa sit close to him, I was about to leave but stopped after hearing Isa voice “mama are you not going to eat with us” umm am not hungry, where are you going? He asked looking at me, “umm I need to get ready” you guys have your breakfast, sit down and have your breakfast Arya he ordered me and looked at his laptop and continued eating, I already had my breakfast I said stubbornly. Arya, you just said you were not hungry and now you have eaten? He really knows how to get on my nerves, he is so annoying, I stood still, not wanting to eat with him

Arya he said looking at me. His face was like sit or I’ll make you sit, I bit my lips together and sat on the chair next to Isa wanting to stay as far away from him, and served myself. “mama eat more” Isa said to me. I continued eating my food when he stood up from his chair and went inside without saying a word, I breathed a sigh of relief but then he came back with something in his hand. He came close to where I was sitting, I had stopped eating, he was towering over me he brought out his hand to me and I looked at the credit card feeling confused, was about to say something but then he said. “take this and go shopping for yourself” uhm I don’t need anything. Oh, I thought you didn’t have a dress that why you stood me up. I scoffed, I didn’t want to go out with you Lucas, but you agreed to, have decided we are going to see a movie today, since you love watching movies we can go with Honey and see anyone you like, but you seriously need to get yourself a new change of clothes, my clothes are fine, “you think so?” Fine I took the card from him smirking. I’ll use it well Mr. Lucas.
