GARY GAUTHIER’S POV
“What!”. I hear myself saying.
“Yeah Gary, it’s your choice. one has to go.”
I slowly release my tightened fist and bang the table. She jerked at the sound.
“Fuck Brie!, what is it you want?. Aren’t you tired of giving me a hard time. You left years ago remember!, and told me never to call or text.
You left me when I needed you the most. Now you are the one breaking the rules, you’re the one coming with your fucked up life to disturb my peace.” I yell and she flinches. I stalk towards her and jerked her off the couch.
“Now get this into your dumb empty brain. You can go whatever length you wish to go. I’m never letting the ones I love out of my sight!. We are done. I’ve started a new phase of life. And it’s much better than the one I had with you.” I push her to the chair and began to walk out.
“Why don’t you just tell her then?” Her question made me halt. I hold the door knob tightly.
“Never, you remind me of that!” I say coldly. I hear her scoff.
“You’re scared?, Scared she’s gonna run away when she gets to know you huh.”
I close my eyes as my patience finally thin out. I turn back and walked close to her. I stood inches away from her, and dealt her a slap that sent her to the floor. Her hands flew to her bruised cheek. She dilated her eyes in shock and she stood up slowly.
“Gary!” She half whispered. I took a step back anger making me fist my palm.
“I’d do worse if you don’t stop being a fuckin snoop!” I snarl and storm out of the door.
“You’re gonna regret this Gary!, I promise!” She yell behind me. I go into my office and slam the door shut, plonk down on the couch and sigh.
Who the heck does she think I am. I stand and walk over to the the cabinet. I pour myself a shot of tequila and chug it down. I pour some again and drain the contents. She’s succeeded in ruining my day. I take the bottle and glass and sit on the couch. I glance at my watch. Six pm. Why aren’t they back yet. I pour myself another shot and drain the glass. My head feels light. I lean back into the couch and shut my eyes.
BRIE’S POV
I wipe my wet cheek and sniffle continuously. I never imagined Gary would raise his hand on me. He is not one to do so. But all because of that bitch he slapped me. I storm out of the gates and get into my limo in anger.
It’s never gonna end this way. I rub my bruised cheek, and I can taste blood. He dared insult me! And he raised his hand on me. He’s not gonna escape this time. I want him neand if I don’t have him back no one will. Even if it means killing that fucked up pussy of his.
LESLEY PERKINS’ POV
I watch as Stacy steps out of the changing room for the tenth time.
“How does this look Les!” She squeal and twirl. I take a long look at her.
“Ugly as fuck!” I roll my eyes and she gasps.
“Lesley!” she yell feigning hurt.
“Okay fine, it’s pretty. Can we go now?” she giggle and run back into the changing room, ignoring me. I brush back my hair and look around.
Eva is with Hazel who is busy admiring every single accessory in the boutique. I hold two shopping bags containing my stuffs and bite my lips impatiently. Stacy walks out breezily, a bag containing her dresses in hand.
“Oh my gee, I’m hitting two million views this Xmas!.” She grins. I shake my head and amble towards Eva and Hazel leaving , stacy to trail behind.
Eva has got two bags in her hand and Hazel had one in hers. I hope Gary dosen’t go bankrupt after this.
“Hazel, that’s enough please!” Eva whines. Hazel pouts and took a purple gown from a hanger. She stuff it into her bag.
“Let’s go pay up.” Eva says and we move to the counter. We place the bags on the counter and Eva hands the sale girls the credit card. She checks all the bags and after withdrawing, she hands the card back to Eva.
“Thanks for shopping here miss, do have a splemdid christmas holiday.” We smile and heed out of the boutique towards the car. A guy is leaning on it. He’s got long braids. We walk towards him.
“If you don’t mind, that’s our car” Hazel says politely. Good thing she’s changed.
“Oh!, sorry pretty ladies.” He gets off and he locks gaze with Stacy.
“Hi, I’m Simon.” He says to Stacy and held out his hand. Stacy blushing crimson red shook his hand and held on to it.
“I’m St–stacy, pleased to meet you Simon.” She replies dreamily. I could swear I’ve never heard Stacy talk so sweetly. Hazel rolled her eyes and gets into the backseat, Eva drops all the bags into the trunk and gets into the driver seat and I sit beside her. Stacy is still talking with him. Eva honks the car impatiently, jotling stacy from her dreamland. They exchanged numbers and she gets in to sit beside Hazel, a dreamy smile on her face.
“Stacy, you aren’t planning on spoiling me are you? Hazel asked bemusedly. Eva grins and starts the car. Stacy seems not to have heard and is staring at the braid guy who is entering the boutique. Eva drives out.
“Fasten your seatbelt guys, I’m driving crazy.” She squeals. She turned up the stereo and step on the gas. Hazel and Eva screams wildly as she reversed the car and drove into the busy rosd.
She didn’t exaggerate when she said she was driving crazy. I looked through the side mirror Ben’s car is tailing behind. I’m sure he is trying to keep up with her psycho driving. We arrive minutes earlier than usual and Eva halts the car in the garage. We all got out and Stacy is still quiet. Ben drives in after us and parks the Eva grabs the the bags from the trunk.
“Today was terrific!” Hazel states in excitement as she walk into the mansion. We decided to all spend the night at Gary’s. We took the lift for Hazel’s apartment.
“Stacy, don’t tell me you’re still daydreaming about
*Mr Braids*.” Eva asked with an eye roll before plumping on the couch. Stacy lowers herself on a single couch.
“No I’m not.” Stacy reply absentmindedly.
“Yes you are stace. Don’t spoil me though.” Hazel says and began to try the dresses on. I laugh quietly. I leave them at the living room and step into Hazel’s room. My gaze stops on the piano. It’s been a while I played. I sit on the stool and shut my eyes. Ever so slowly I begin to play a tune. Memories rush in and out of my head. I hear her laughter as if she is beside me. I open my eyes and play the tune she loves best. Her sweet voice echoes in my mind. A tear drop from my eyes dropping on the piano. Soon I’m singing. It feels as though she’s singing along with me. Her beautiful voice merging with mine. In our little blissful world.
“Are you alright Lesley.” Eva asks behind me. I quickly wipe off my tears as she walk towards me.
“Uh, I’m fine Eva”. My voice sounds croaky. she frowns at me.
“You don’t look good. Is anything bugging you.” She asks with concern. I feign a smile and nod.
“Yeah…. yeah I’m good….” I get off the stool and she shrug
“You’ve got a beautiful voice and you play the piano flawlessly.” She compliments. I smile and nod carewornly.
“I…. I will go check up on Gary.” I tell her and stride out of the room. I feel her burning gaze behind me as I make my way out. How long will I be able to hide it?.
ANONYMOUS
I engulf Francis in a warm hug and pat his back.
“You’ve grown since I last saw you Francis!.”
I pull away and sit on one of the single couch in the Italian restaurant. My men is scattered around in the restaurant. He chuckles.
“Coming from a man who lives in paradise huh.” He replies and I smile and take a sip of my drink.
“How’s tje family been doing.?” I put down the cup.
“Nothing has been good” He says gritting his teeth.
“Down to business then, what’s the nature of the job?.” He leans forward and entwine his hand on the table.
“Murder..” He whispers.
“Who’s the victim?” He took a sip of his tequila. And a wicked grin appears on his face.
“Gary.” He finally says. I hum and smile slyly.
“I and Gary have some unfinished business to settle too.” I rub my chin thoughtfully.
“You can settle whatever thing you wanna settle with him when you get hold of him.” He slides a phone across me. I stare at the sexy pics of a girl in dinner gown. Damn she’s hot!.
“And…. I want her, that’s Gary’s girl.” He completes and lean back in his chair. I took a drag from the pipe still staring at the picture.
“What’s the catch?.” I ask, testing my gaze away from the phone. Frantic stares at me intently.
“Name your price.” I look at him darkly.
“I wanna bed the girl first…”He frowns at once.
“You know that’s not possible!” He says through gritted teeth. I drew back my chair.
“Fine then, run off to another person” He groans as I stand.
“Fine!, you can bed her first. Just make sure you don’t kill her with your monstrous d i c k” I cock my brows in amusement.
“Consider it done Francis.” I pat his back and walk away. Stopping at at the door of the restaurant, my gaze stops on a girl drinking with a guy at the bar. She’s sexy…
“Get me that girl.” I instruct one of my men and he nods.
“And the man?” I smirk.
“Kill him” I walk out and got into the limo as I hear two shots ring out from the restaurant.
“To a club” I tell the chauffeur and lean back into my seat.
