Sandy’s pov
I unstrap my seat belt as Dylan pulls up at my apartment and kills the engine. We had gone out for dinner in a little cozy restaurant. Becky and Harry had checked in a hotel, I chuckle lowly, I’m sure she’s sleeping out tonight, damn I pray she doesn’t forget to use contraceptives. Dylan place a hand on my bare thigh and squeeze it softly. I chuckle and swat his hand away.
“Stop it Dylan!” I giggle as he leans to kiss me.
“Damn it babe, I’ve been wanting to tear this clothes off since you walked into the restaurant. I smile against his mouth and move over so I was straddling him.
“You sure…. I lower my butt on his thighs as I felt his bulge against my butt. He grabs my ass ad slowly kissed me.
“You’re so hot sandy, I wanna feel every inch of you, want your moans to fill my ears” I bit my lip already getting turned on. I grind against his thigh and withdraw.
“I’ve got a large bottle of contraceptives babe… I wanna feel you bare skin against mine” I smirk at him and get off his laps. i grab my phone from the dashboard as he got out and open the door for me. I step out as I stare at the screen of my phone. I gasp out.
“Oh my!… Emilia has been trying to reach me!” Dylan slams the door shut as I try her line. Jeez I hope she’s good!, I’ve been too busy with work and Dylan and I haven’t been able to text her lately. Dylan wraps his arm around my waist.
“Is she picking up” I shook my head.
“No Dylan I feel so guilty!” I mumble as I try it again.
“It’s not your fault babe stop blaming yourself okay, she’s gonna be fine” I shake my head sideways and slip the phone into my clutch as we walk into the apartment building.
“I have a feeling she’s not Dylan she’s been acting different lately, she seems tired and i don’t know, I badly want to see her but she told us stay away for now.” I sigh as we climb up the stairs.
“Why did she do that… is she good” I shrug, remembering liam is with her. I don’t trust him completely but I’m sure he isn’t gonna harm her. My eyes stop on on the figure bundled up in a heap in front of my apartment. I went white with shock.
“Emilia!” I gasp out and sank to my knees. Oh my God!. What happened to her. I touch her forehead and withdraw my hand immediately. Dylan was squatting now.
“She’s burning up!… babe quick help me!” he nods and carry her carefully in bridal style. I rummage through for my clutch for my house keys and quickly slip it in the lock. I threw the door open as Dylan walks in. i slam the door shut and trail after him as he walks to my room. Holy fuck! what happened to her. I guess she fainted after ringing the doorbell and getting no reply. Dylan places her on the bed and I place a palm over my mouth at her face. Tears pools in my eyes.
“Dylan… help me with a bowl of water and towel quick” I sit next to her and touch her cheek again. Her eyes were puffy and I could see bags under her eyes. Her hair was pale, same as her face. How did this happen!, its been just few days since we last saw. I sniff as Dylan returns with the bowl of water. He drops it on the bedside table.
“She’s gonna be fine babe… stop crying” Dylan coos and squeezes the towel. He place it on her forehead and I held her palm in mine. Her hands were cold. She’s running a fever. I sniff back tears, feeling terribly guilty. I hadn’t been there when she needed me the most. She turns slightly and mumbles something. I move close to her as Dylan drops the towel. I touch her forehead again and it was a bit better.
“Liam…” She mumbles sleepily. Dylan archs his brows and looks at me.
“Why is she calling his name…” I blew out a breathe and avoid his question. I stare at her as she toss her head sideways like someone who’s having a nightmare. oh my goodness this is bad!
“Emmy…” I coo as I slowly smoothen hairs from her face, tears clung to my eyes at her pitiful state. She continues mumbling his name while Dylan watches us. what did he do to her!, I’m gonna cut his dick if he did this to her!.
“Emmy… come on its me sandy” She stop tossing her head and her eyes slowly flutters open.
“Hey… its me sandy okay” I voice out softly. Her eyes were reddened too.
“San… sandy” She mutters as her eyes open fully. I nod.
“You’re gonna be okay emmy alright?” I smoothen her cheeks.
“Dylan please could you help me with a plate of food and aspirin tablets?” He nods and walk out. I help her sit up. She press a shaky hand to her forehead.
“Are you okay… what happened to you girlfriend!” Tears pool in her eyes.
“He’s.. gone sandy…” She croak out as a tear drop from her eyes. I blink back mine, I’m supposed to be strong for her.
“He… left” She bit her lip as another tear spill out.
“He says he’s gonna come back…. but I don’t think he’d ever do so…” Her voice falters and she begins to sob. I sit beside her and pull her to my chest.
“Shh….” I coo as she leans against me. I rub her back as she sob against my clothes.
“Come on emmy stop being such a cry baby, everything’s gonna be fine okay…” I pat her and kiss her hair. I sigh lowly.
She’s fallen for him, and she’s new to all these, probably dosen’t wanna admit it to herself that she’s in love with him. Her sobs subsided a bit and I withdraw.
“Jeez emmy look at your face, you’re such a cry baby” I smile, trying to lighten up her mood. She wipe her tears but didn’t smile. Dylan returns with a tray of food alongside bottled water. He hands it to me and I place it on my lap. Dylan smiles at Emilia and pat her arm
“You gonna be fine Emilia…. now eat up so you could use your meds okay” He says and Emilia nods.
I raise a spoonful of food to her mouth. A small smile spread on her face and she takes the spoon from me.
“I’m not a baby remember…” She says lowly and we chuckle. I watch her eat her food while Dylan goes out of the room. I sigh and lean against the headboard. Becky is probably having so much fun and I can’t spoil it with this kind of news. Its late already too and I bet its gonna take hours before she gets here. She’d know about it tomorrow. Luckily its a friday.
An hour later, she was asleep, after eating all the food and taking some aspirin tablets. I sigh and cover her properly with the duvet, before stepping out of the room. Dylan was sitting on a couch. He stands up on seeing me.
“what’s up with her?” I sigh.
“She’s asleep now” I simply say and Dylan trails behind me as I walk toward Becky’s room. I go over to the bed and sit. Dylan sits beside me and I turn slightly to face him. His eyes were questioning. I sigh and fiddle with my hands.
“Dylan… I’m gonna tell you all about liam paige tomorrow, but right now… i just wanna sleep” I pat his arm and lie on the bed. He pulls off his shoes and lie next to me. I look up at his dark gaze and roll my eyes.
“Go to sleep Dylan, we aren’t playing dirty tonight” I peck him on the mouth and rest my head on his chest as he chuckles.
Becky’s pov
I cough lightly as the scent of burning food hit my nose. I rub my face and sit up on the bed. The drapes were parted and the morning light filtered into the room where we lodged. I stare at the empty space beside me where Harry had slept. I blink my eyes and place my feet on the floor. Did he leave again!.
“Up already?” I whip my head to the kitchen entrance as harry walks in with a tray of food in his hands. I suck in my breath and smile.
“Hey…” I voice out as he place the tray of food on the bedside table. He peck me on the mouth and withdraw.
“Figured out you might wake up soon, so I prepared something for you. He opens the plate of food and I widen my eyes and suppress a laugh.
“I’m sorry it’s burnt but its tasty..” He raise a spoonful to my mouth and I eat. I pause when it touches my tongue and scramble out of the bed and into the ensuite. I discard the mess into the washbowl and flush it off. I rinse my mouth and turn to see harry at the door, pouting.
“I’m so sorry baby I didn’t know it wasn’t that tasty” i roll my eyes and chuckle.
“You shouldn’t have gone through such stress to fix breakfast for me you know, we could have waited for the waitress to bring food for us you know” I walk to the cabinet and bring out a new pack of toothbrush. I spread paste on it and begin to brush. I could feel harry staring at me. I look at him through the mirror and arch my brows at him.
“What…” I mumble, as i rinse my mouth. He chuckles lowly.
“Nothing… I can’t just get enough just staring at you” I bit back a blush and discarded the brush into the bin.
“Is that flattery….” I walk back into the room and he grins.
“Nah… but I don’t mind if I get something in return” He smirks and I laugh. The doorbell dings.
“That should be food, I’d get the door” I say and walk out of the room. Harry insisted we book a suite. it wasn’t really necessary though, any room is fine, as long as it has a bed in it. I chuckle at my self humour and open the door.
“Good morning miss” A blonde haired girl with freckles and a big smile greets. Her name tag reads Anne. She suddenly reminds me of Emilia, I hope she’s good.
“Morning… Anne” I smile back at her.
“Uhhh… sorry for the disturbance” She trail her gaze down to what I’m wearing, Harry’s shirt.
“No… its nothing…” She nods quickly.
“Umm, a girl called the receptionist, goes by the name sandy, she wanted to know if you were still in the hotel cos she says you aren’t picking up” I gasp and nod.
“Thanks I’d call her right away” She nods and grin again.
“Nice outfit anyways” She winks and walks away. I chuckle and close the door.
“You didn’t tell me you wanted to eat all the food at the door becky” Harry shouts from the ensuite as I got into the room
“It wasn’t food Harry, it was the hotel worker telling me indirectly that I was too busy on bed to pick up my calls” He laughs and I chuckle.
“Come join me in here when you’re done, don’t keep my D waiting” I palm myself as I try not to laugh. That’s kinda naughty.
I grab my phone from the nightstand and swipe the screen. I call sandy immediately. She picks up on the first ring.
“Hey sandy….” I squeal and plump down on the bed.
“Becky….” I frown at her flat tone. She sounds tensed.
“What’s up with you…” I bring my voice down a notch. She sighs
“Are you still with Harry” I nod slowly
“yeah I am” I say when I realise she ain’t seeing me. she puffs out a breath.
“What’s the problem sandy stop scaring the shit outta me!” I get off the bed and walk to the large window overlooking the city.
“I don’t want to bother you Becky, have fun, I’d tell you about it when you get back”
“No Sandy spill it out now!… I know its urgent for you to have called” My mind suddenly drift to Emilia.
“How about Emilia is she okay!” I say in alarm. There was a pause and I hear her sniff.
“No Becky… she actually fainted at our doorstep last night” I widen my eyes.
“Huh!” I raise my voice and move away from the window.
“Yeah… she’s running a fever, it seems serious and right now Dylan is in my room with a doctor” At the mention of doctor I rush to the bed and grab my gown. Doctors are bad news.
“I’m on my way now sandy!” I blurt and hung up. I hurriedly put on my dress and grab my clutch.
“Baby… you’re keeping me waiting!” Harry voice out. Fuck! I slid my feet into my flats.
“Umm Harry…. I’ve gotta run… i’d text you when I’m free” I brush my hair with my fingers as I hear him come into the room.
“Huh!, what do you mean by that” I glance at him, a towel wrapped around his waist and his beard with soap bubbles.
“I can’t go into details harry, I’d tell you everything when I’m free okay….” He stares at me.
“Becky… don’t tell me you’re paying me back for what I did to you” I gape at him. Uh oh, I didn’t realise I was doing the same thing he did to me few weeks ago.
“No harry… umm, maybe its just karma you know” I pick a hand towel and wipe his mouth. I peck him on the mouth.
“Its just karma baby” I grin and hurried out of the room. The last thing I hear him say was
“What the fuck is karma”.
