CHAPTER 53&54
•Earlier•
Eric couldn’t get his mind off Alex even when he took out Pérignon from the replicator.
Pérignon doesn’t work anymore. It’s no longer his confider.
Eric scoffed and tossed the bottle aside, he walked to his private room but came out again, ruffling his hair.
“Senitel, connect with her”he ordered.
“Done, Master Eric,”Senitel replied.
The large screen which looks like a TV, turned on and Alex came into view. Eric walked to sit and smiled slowly.
Now with her video, he’s calm.
Spoiler: Eric had planted a micro chip camera on Alex’s collar when they were kissing. He wore the necklace for her to connect that camera.
“Sawry,”Alex told the guys in the elevator and entered.
Eric frowned. She’s telling other guys sorry? For what? As a matter of fact, they should be the one begging to stay in the same elevator with her.
In fact, no male apart from Eric himself should be with her from now on.
But that thought got filtered when Alex was pushed back. Eric stood up immediately.
*
Alex had banged till she was tired of it, she fell on the floor, gurgling ‘Help’
She crawled to a spot and clawed her nails on the wall, trying to stand up. She couldn’t. She fell back and her past memory crawled in her head.
•Ten years back•
•Nyack~Grandpa Grande Fighting School•
Alex sat alone, outside the hall, wondering why the toilets in the washroom are enclosed.
She’s not prone to enclosed places, she’s claustrophobic and she loves open places. She loves crowd, she loves the rough style.
And luckily, anywhere she goes, the toilets are a bit larger than ‘small’
Except here.
And that’s why she misses Erica. If Erica hadn’t left to New York— her home— with her wicked brother, then she’d be here for her.
She’ll go in with Alex and they’ll pee together. They’re literally sisters, anyway.
Alex has never visited the washroom for three days now but now? She can’t hold it. There’s no place to pee here, except the same washroom she’s scared of— not the washroom but the main toilets.
Two girls ran out of the hall, holding hands and giggling.
“Are you going to the washroom?”Alex asked them. They stopped and looked at her. The taller one nodded.
“Why?”
“I wanna go with you both, I can’t go there alone”she replied and stood up.
“If we didn’t come out?”the shorter one asked.
“Are there monsters in there? And even if they are real monsters there, you don’t look like one who’d be scared of em”the tall one added.
“I’m not scared of monsters, I’m scared of staying in a tight place alone, okay? Can I follow you or not?”she replied.
The girls nodded and she smiled.
“Thanks,”
•Washroom•
The three girls suddenly got along, talking about Alex’s hair, asking different questions about her. Why she wears shorts, why she doesn’t use ribbons on her hair, why she doesn’t tie her hair in buns… everything.
Alex opened a door to the toilet, she entered, the shorter one entered too, ready to wait for her when the taller one pulled her out.
Alex looked back in surprise. “What happened?”she asked.
“We wanna see how people with claustrophobia behaves whenever their like this”the tall girl said. The short one looked at her in surprise.
“What?!”Alex rushed to them but the door was already shut.
“Bye!”was the reply.
“No, you can’t. I already told you I hate it! I’m scared of something like this so please, please don’t lock me in!”she banged on the door.
She heard the girls giggled as they ran out and she banged harder.
“No! I’ll kill you when I get out of here, I swear! Anyone out there? Help me!”she screamed.
She turned and seeing just herself and the flush toilet in this tight room made her breaths shake. She lost it.
Her back landed on the door and she slid all the way to the floor, grabbing her necklace pendant.
She shivered, coughed and shivered again.
“Help!”her voice shook.
But one noticeable thing… she didn’t cry. A tear didn’t drop from her eyes. She believes crying is for the weak. And really, she can’t cry.
She was born without tears in her eyes.
Slowly, her vision turned blurry…
•Back To Reality•
Alex’s eyes almost went shot, losing all hope when he entered.
Eric.
Her eyes drowsed and he went on two knees beside her, pulling her slowly to his laps.
“You’re okay now, Lexandra”he whispered, pecking her forehead.
Her lips curled into a small smile. “Lexandra?”her voice shook.
“Yeah, I removed the ‘A’ to make it special and unique,”he replied and carried her in a bridal style, standing up.
“Erico?”she whispered, crossing her arms around his shoulders for balance. His eyes softened.
“You’re a jerk,”she mouthed.
“Crazy Tomboy, you’re so bad mouthed,”he rolled his eyes playfully and walked out of the elevator with her on his arms.
Another shocker to the watchers.
Alex’s eyes met her friends one by one.
Cathy first. The quiet girl waved happily, in tears.
Then Rhapo, who didn’t mind her. Bitch is already boiling, ready to punch anyone who’s pointed as the culprit.
Alex looked at Derek and when he winked, she rolled her eyes away.
And Andrea, he smiled at her, she returned it with her forefinger and thumb linked together.
Alex’s eyes found Mira and she smirked.
“Bitch,”she mouthed.
Mira widened her eyes in shock but that wasn’t all, Eric tilted his head to Rhapsody and she got it immediately.
She gagged Mira by the collar and punched her on the jaw and left eye without waiting.
Eric walked away. There’s no need being wild. Which guy spends time scolding girls? Idiots in particular?
They’ll pay and that’s certain.
“Jesus!”Mira screamed, rolling to the ground. Her friends immediately ran to her but they received their own slaps on each cheeks.
Cathy did it. With tears in her eyes, she fúcking did that.
Shocker number eighty two.
Even Derek felt it.
“We didn’t know it was something that’ll make her panic, we just wanted to have our revenge, we’re sorry!”Ana screamed, holding her red cheek.
“füç? yourself! Thank your pussy Echo ain’t weak, ah swear y’all would have faced it. It doesn’t matter what the füç? you think you are in this school!”Rhapsody spat.
“I just…”Mira tried explaining in tears.
“Shut up, Mirabelle. You’re just as useless as your words,”Andrea cut her off. She gasped, feeling weird inside of her.
Andrea walked away.
“Andrea!”Mira called, she received another punch on the face from Rhapsody.
“Arrrgggghhh!”she fell.
Isa just sat on the floor, biting a side of her lip.
“Belles, follow me, the Principal’s order”the school rep called.
“No, dad mustn’t be told about this. I didn’t mean to hurt her, she’s not even hurt! Ricky is gonna do something mad about this and dad will be mad at me, füç?, it wasn’t supposed to be like this”Mira screamed in guilt.
“It wasn’t supposed to be like nothing. You bully without knowing the consequence and it’s not fair! What if it got worse? What if Alex wasn’t just claustrophobic but more than that? What are you gonna do? Why are you doing this?”Cathy burst into tears again.
“Cathy,”Rhapsody groaned and hugged her.
Belles couldn’t explain as they followed the rep. Mira turned back and the eyes on her made her frown.
“Get out, y’all!”she snapped. Students scurried away.
“It’s just not fair,”Cathy muttered to Rhapsody.
“They’re just high school bitches, not some gangsters. When punishments kisses their arses, they’ll maintain”Rhapsody replied, Cathy sniffled.
Derek watched her and he doesn’t know but those tears rolling down her cheeks, he wanna go wipe them off.
Okay, it’s weird but he wanna lick them off.
He took two steps forward but stopped when her phone rang.
Cathy got out her phone, picking the call.
“My father?”she widened her eyes. “I’ll come right away,”she added, gulping.
“Your father? Is he sick?”Rhapsody raised a brow. She smiled and shook her head.
“It’s normal. I promise to explain tomorrow. I have to go now,”she answered.
“Umm, okay?”Rhapsody replied, Cathy rushed out.
Derek followed her.
•Females Washroom•
Rhapsody almost entered, while Winter walked out. They ended up bumping into each other.
“Ouch, I’m sorry,”Winter apologized.
“Wrong code,”Rhapsody muttered. Winter took her hair away from her face, looking surprised.
“We’re not talking, you started it”Rhapsody replied.
“About that… I’m sorry, boss,”Winter mouthed, head down.
“Hey,”Rhapsody frowned.
“I mean Rhapsody,”Winter smiled at her.
“You’re back to your pretty face,”Rhapsody teased.
“Huh?”she blinked.
“Being sad makes you pretty ugly,”Rhapsody replied. She frowned.
“That’s more of a pout. Seen your bestie-boyfriend?”Rhapsody asked.
“Den? I’m hiding from him. I heard he’s looking for me and that alone is giving me chicken bumps, I’m scared to look at him,”Winter replied, sighing.
“Chicken bumps, sounds awkward,”Rhapsody nodded.
Winter pouted again and that made Rhapsody look away.
“Dude, I’m into girls. Stop pouting or I’ll kiss you again. This time, no sorry,”she said.
“Oh,”Winter took her lips in.
“Win!”Dennis’ voice sounded from afar.
“Jeez,”Winter panicked. Rhapsody smirked and pushed her into the washroom, she entered herself and locked the door, slamming Winter’s back on it.
Winter gasped but Rhapsody covered her mouth with her palm, using her other hand to place a finger on her own lips, giving her the ‘shh’ sign.
Winter nodded immediately.
“Win, please are you in there? I can smell your chocolate scent”Dennis’ voice trembled.
“I’m sorry,”he added.
“You wanna go out to him?”Rhapsody whispered to Winter, she shook her head in the negative.
“So.. you wanna stay here with me?”she poked her own chest. Winter nodded.
Rhapsody leaned closer; seductively, boyishly, sinfully.
Winter breathed hard, not knowing where this was going to. But she was in for it.
Rhapsody’s lips hovered above Winter’s right ear. “Sierra,”she whispered.
“Hmm?”Winter nodded.
“I’m sorry,”she replied and swiftly opened the door, pushing Winter out.
“Rhapsody,”Winter gasped, knocking.
Rhapsody rested her back on the door, closing her eyes.
“Win,”Dennis rushed back to the washroom door. He had walked past there after failed attempts to hear her voice.
But hearing someone’s footsteps, he came back only to see Winter before the door.
“Win,”he added and hugged her tightly. She didn’t hug him back.
“Did you hear what happened?”he muttered.
“What happened?”she looked at him, dryly.
“Alex was locked in the elevator, I was searching for you when I saw what was going on… I…. I’m sorry, Winter. I was a fool. I am a fool,”he said.
“You could have said that instead of gossiping,”she said, he laughed slowly.
She laughed too.
“I’m sorry too, Den. You just wanted to be there for me and I wanted to be there for you too, you’re always hurt for me and I felt guilty you were carrying my cross”she said.
“You’ve forgotten who I am to you? We’ll be there for each other together forever, rii?”he asked.
“Bet,”she smiled. He smiled and hugged her again. Tighter than before and she hugged him back.
Something told him to tell her how he feels right there. Something whispered ‘kiss her’ in his ears.
‘I think I should shoot my shot, Win. I’ve caught feelings…’
Those are his thoughts but what if she says NO? what if she says ‘We’re like siblings Den, didn’t we share the Davis surname? Or is that why you avoided sharing surnames with me, instead you used the orphanage name?
What if she blurts all those?
“Win,”he broke the hug, she looked at him and his courage failed him immediately.
“Let’s go,”he said. They interlocked hands and walked away, with Winter looking back at the door.
Meanwhile, Rhapsody heard everything. She stayed there till they left and she finally let out her hidden breaths.
She took her weight off the door and walked to the lever, turning in on. She washed her face countless times.
Over and over.
Again and again.
Trying to fight back her feelings. Trying to hold herself from rushing out there to pull Winter from Dennis and kiss the hell out of her. Just trying.
“I still love you, Sierra. I just hope me bitch will be able to fight it”she poured water over her reflexion in the mirror.
•Principal Woods office•
Belles stood a distance from the seven guys who caused Alex to be trapped in the elevator.
The guys are all on their knees, heads bowed in regret.
“I swear, I didn’t want this to happen again. After she knocked out my tooth, I wanted to stay far away from her but… but I really just wanted to see her tears”Isa knelt down, pleading with Woods.
“Me too, I just wanted to… to… I don’t even know why I wanted to do that to her”Ana fell hard on her knees beside Isa.
“Was it jealousy? She’s everything. A dancer, Grand Hottie’s favorite, Rhapsody’s best friend, she’s intelligent and she’s a bad ass! She’s just a scholarship and she wields much power, It’s insane”Ana confessed, shakily.
Mira scoffed, her tears already dried. How dare she even cry? She has the right to do shits in this school.
“I did wrong I know but she’s a scholarship student and that serves her right for leaping where her legs can’t take her to”she said flatly.
“Mirabelle,”Mr Woods warned, his brows knitting together.
“Dad would understand. Tell him for all I care!”she snapped.
Woods tapped on his phone and the girls went silent.
“You’re my daughter, that doesn’t give you no right to ride over others, Mira!”
Omar’s angry voice thundered through the speaker.
Mira’s head snapped up.
“Dad?”
“You’ve always been trouble but I’ve never done anything because it’s you, I excused you because that is how you are. You’re a troublemaker but soft on the inside but I don’t know you anymore, Mira. You know a student was claustrophobic and you went ahead locking her in the elevator for dangerous minutes?!”Omar’s angry voice filled the air.
“Daddy!”Mira blinked.
“Bullying ends today, Mira. Effective immediately”Omar continued, his voice turning cold.
“You and your senseless friends better not let me come there because of your stupid pranks.The stupid crown of the so-called queen that makes you act like a tyrant–+ is cancelled, Belles will no longer perform every Friday, you can go dance whenever you’re needed in any concert but in my school? It’s cancelled”
Mira’s arse fell to the floor.
“You’ll be detained for the remaining days of the week for you to learn your lessons, I won’t extend it further for the sake of your project. But bet me, Mira, when you pull a tricky stunt again, I don’t mind expelling you and your friends. You’ll go finish your education anywhere else”
“Daddy no,”Mira’s voice cracked.
“And to those seven idiots, you’re expelled, no appeal!”Omar added.
“Dad, I didn’t.. you can’t do this to your daughter. Dad, you sound so angry, you’ve never been this angry with me”Mira fell on her knees too.
“Mr Omar Stone, please!”Isa and Ana pleaded, bowing lower to the floor.
“My queen bee crown! Who fits in it if not me?”Mira begged.
“You’re very foolish, Miss Belle,”Woods shook his head.
“I mean it. Dad, have mercy”Mira begged.
“Bye Mira, I’m on medication”Omar said and disconnected.
“Dad, I can help you with your drugs, please you can’t make us like other students!”Mira cried.
“Principal Woods, please. We’ll be laughed at”Isa begged. Ana only bit her nails, hiccuping.
The boys didn’t need to beg, but deep down, they’re goners.
“Omar is nice, now listen to this pre-record”Woods said and played a record on his phone.
“Those seven dwarfs, they’re expelled right? They should know they have no place in New York anymore, their parents are held somewhere safe. The dwarfs won’t leave school till tomorrow, organize a place for them because they have something to do for my Tomboy princess tomorrow”
Belles exchanged glances. They know who’s talking.
“And about those crickets…”the voice continued.
•Save Hospital•
Cathy ran to the said ward to meet her father on the hospital bed, drinking a glass of water.
“Dad,”she smiled and ran to hug him.
He hugged her back, kissing her hair.
“You got an attack? I’m sorry I wasn’t around”she said.
“I’d have handled it myself you know?”he smiled.
“But, who brought you to the hospital? Your epilepsy was mild, wasn’t it?”she asked.
Derek stood by the door, watching them. He squinted. Epilepsy?
The nurses around him, instead of asking who he was or what was his aim, they drooled, flirting around him.
“It was, Amelia,”Shawn replied sadly.
She frowned. “What… who’s Amelia?”
“It’s you, my sweet Catherine”Shawn muttered in tears and Salvador walked out of a room, striding fast to her.
Cathy gasped and stood up, bowing several times.
“Gov… gov…”she stuttered, unable to form words.
“I came alone because your mom has a weak heart. She wouldn’t wanna explain, but I would. And I’m happy your father would too”Salvador said.
“Dad?”Cathy swallowed, Shawn called her with his hand and she rushed to sit beside him, feeling awkward.
“I gave you Catherine, but your real parents gave you Amelia”he said.
Cathy’s eyes bulged.
“Re… real what?”she stuttered.
“My Amelia”Salvador broke down in tears.
Cathy stood up. Derek left the door immediately.
•Eric’s Residence•
The same woman who took care of Alex in her drunk state is here again. Her name’s JoJo.
She pressed Alex’s forehead with a warm cloth one more time and smiled at Alex.
“I’m treated like a child, it’s funny,”Alex said.
“Yeah, you’re a child. You’re eighteen years old, baby,”JoJo replied, Alex sighed drastically.
“I’m leaving now,”JoJo stood up. Alex nodded and winked at her, she smiled and walked out.
Alex rolled to a side to pick her phone, she texted Rhapsody and Cathy.
‘Treated like a princess by a nice Gran, I’m literally crying (crying emoji)’
Rhapsody: Dude, you should cry for real then I’ll pity you.
She chuckled and dropped her phone. Cathy hasn’t read hers and Alex understands. That girl has never texted back immediately.
“Are you cold, Miss Alex?”Senitel’s voice tore through the air.
Alex scoffed. “I’m no longer your high bítch?”
“Master Eric warned me not to,”Senitel replied.
“Well I’m not cold,”she replied, pulling down the comforter. She’s no longer in her uniform but in a loose shirt and shorts.
She closed her eyes and the door was opened immediately. Whoo, thank gawd she already closed her eyes.
Eric walked to her and sat down beside her, watching her.
He watched her for a minute before crouching over, pecking her eyes.
One by one. The lashes in particular.
Alex didn’t move.
“Won’t you stop pretending?”he groaned, kissing her nose, down to her lips. He spent a long time there.
“Ouu, maybe I should go to my third obsessed spot on your body”he drew down the comforter. His hand crawled on her belly and she caught his hand immediately, opening her eyes.
“I was sleeping,”she pouted.
“I didn’t ask, Tomboy,”he glanced at her and pushed her hand away, opening her shirt.
Her flat, ???y tummy was exposed. He leaned over and kissed her navel.
“How did you know I was there?”she asked, eyes up at the ceiling.
Only füç? knows why she hasn’t pushed him away. Only füç? knows why he’s crazy about her.
Only füç? knows what’s going on in their heads.
“I just wanted to watch you, I planted a camera on your collar”he replied and kissed her navel again.
“You’re watching me now?”she frowned.
“I’m just being a nice Kissmate. If I hadn’t hacked the elevator, you think you’ll be here?”he poked her head when she tried sitting up and she fell back on the bed.
“Cúnt,”he scoffed.
“Jackass,”she replied.
He moved closer to her face and stared at her eyes. Her eyes drowsed around his.
“Say it,”she smirked.
“What?”he blinked once.
“Just spill it, Weakie”she winked.
“Not like I’m fully at fault, you were being annoying. Fúcking my brain all the fúcking time”he stood up, walking away from her.
She sat up, smirking. Her shirt fell but not completely on her belly so her navel is out.
“Hmmhmm?”she nodded.
“You’re a witch,”he scoffed and sat down, picking his kiss book. He pretended to read.
Blah. Blah. Blahhhh.
NOTHING is entering his head. Just HER.
“Can’t the Proudie just say it. It’ll be forever in the book of memory, yunno?”she asked and stood up, walking to him. She got behind him and took his wallet from him without his notice. Then she flaunted it to his face.
He looked up and frowned.
“Thief, füç? off”he scoffed.
“Not until you say it,”she leaned, pulling out a few dollar notes from the wallet.
“Erico,”she whispered intentionally.
“Damn, I’m sorry… for everything”he put the book down, looking away.
Alex’s eyes widened in surprise. She never expected it. He actually said ‘sorry?’. She was only trying her luck, not actually waiting for him to say it but he did?
“Holy Shit,”she muttered.
“You’ve heard that? I’m never saying it again”he stood up, trying to walk out but she ran past him, standing by the door.
“Say it again,”she glared.
“Me? You think?”he frowned.
“I’ll wear tube and bum shorts but just for a minute”she added.
“An hour,”he said.
“Two minutes”
“A day,”
“C’mon,”she groaned.
“You’ll spend the night here with me,”he said.
“What? In bum shorts, that weird thingy?”she asked.
“I won’t force you Lexandra, I know you’ll willingly put it on for me,”he touched her hair, then her neck, smirking secretly.
She took his hand away, pretending to be pressed hard on that spot.
He didn’t say anything, instead he held her waist from behind, pulling her closely, her shirt disheveled again, revealing her lower back and belly button.
“I’ll never, Weakie,”she mouthed, eyes locked, she slowly unbutton his shirt, looking at the rose tattoo on his chest.
“You wanna gimme an extra?”he asked.
“You want?”she whispered.
“Yeah, on my Medulla,”he replied. She punched him on that tattoo spot. He staggered back.
She followed and kissed the tattoo, nibbling and biting.
“Tomboy… damn,”he groaned in pleasure.
•Night~Alex’s Home•
The door was knocked. Weird, Alex opens the door herself.
Well, Christy ran to the door with hope of telling Alex everything only to meet someone else.
Eric Grande.
“Christ, Eric Grande!”she palmed her mouth with both hands.
He smiled slowly and walked in, she moved back.
“Alex is your project partner, so I heard. You must be here for her, but she’s not home yet. Ion know if she’s gone to her usual talent haunt. I’m sorry if that disappointed you”Christy explained as fast as she could.
“No, it didn’t disappoint me. I’m here to tell you she’s at my place.”Eric replied.
Christy gulped.
“Wait, what? Wait again. You smell like rose, that same nice smell I had perceived sometime ago in our house. Have you visited before?”she asked.
He nodded, smirking.
“I can’t believe the almighty Eric Grande is here! He’s been here before. Oh my gawd, this is awesome. Are you allergic to middle class food? I’m sorry that’s what I can afford. I can’t even talk right now and the food I’m about giving you is Alex’s bribery but no problem, I’ll make another one for her….”Christy talked and talked.
Eric stayed quiet remembering what he did to Alex. She’d snapped about coming back home but he wouldn’t let her.
But since she’s not the easy one, he drugged her with a sleeping pill.
•The Next Day~Stars High•
The seven guys are assembled on their knees, not in class but outside, near the garage, in front of everyone.
Crazy girls are already taking videos and snapshots of them, laughing and giggling.
Cathy and Rhapsody sat on Rhapsody’s car bonnet since they know what’s popping but Cathy was numb.
Eric’s Veneno came to a halt and screams started.
But it didn’t last when someone else came out from the driver’s door.
Alexandra Stone.
Like a real bad ass. A girl that takes nonsense for no sense. Well ironed uniform, straight.
She drove, since Eric drugged her, he had to bribe her with his car. She just wanna annoy her enemies more. They don’t want her close to the Grand Hottie? She’ll use his things.
Enemies got bigger fishes to fry.
“Bitch Echo,”Rhapsody winked from where she sat. She winked too.
She walked to the guys and like a gangster seeking revenge, she kicked their stomachs and punched their jaws…
If only she knew that today would be their last day in New York, maybe she’d have pleaded on their behalf. But well, she doesn’t know. She just wanna punch them for doing that shit to her.
She kicked the complete seven and Belles ran to her, kneeling down before her.
Mira was scoffing all through tho, and she doesn’t give a damn.
The boys were led out of that place.
“Sorry about that,”they chorused.
Cameras clicked.
Alex smiled weirdly at Mira and touched her shoulder, Mira glared.
“Bitches are classified into bitches. Even though your crown wasn’t taken away from you, you’re no match for my insanity. I forgive you, sister”Alex said.
TBC…
