“I love it, it’s beautiful” I said shaking the box, it was reflecting light from the sun rays.
“Give me a minute babe” Christian said and he went into the bathroom. I heard the tap come on and after a moment it turned off, when he returned his knuckles were no longer stained with blood.
He pulled out his phone from the drawer beside the bed and he went to the closet.
I heard him talking on the phone, I didn’t pay any attention to it until I heard him cal Kay’s name.
“Kay Anderson” he said.
I stood up, the earrings fell from my hands, I picked one up but I was in a hurry, I couldn’t pick the other one.
“The hospital wouldn’t do, it won’t be a clean job, leave it until when he gets home”
My eye brows were raised in shock, my head was telling me what this was but I was refusing to believe that Christian was really going to send a hitman to take out Kay.
I know he hurt me but the aspirin was working fine.
“Find his address first, and I wanted this done in less than a week, do a clean job, nothing should link this with me”
“Uh, Christian ” I finally spoke standing in front of the closet door, I almost had to hold the door to stand straight. “What are you doing?”
“I’ll call you later” he said and ended the call.
“How much did you hear?”
“Enough understand that you want to kill him”
“I don’t just want to, I will kill him”
“You’re not a murderer!” I yelled, what did I know?
“You’re right Jenna, I’m not, that’s why someone else going to do the killing”
“He just pulled me and pushed me against the wall”
Christian just stared at me, he stood there with his hands crossed over his chest and just stared at me, I wasn’t penetrating him at all, my words were merely airbrushing him.
“Jesus, are you serious?” I asked, realization finally hit me.
“I am”
“Not again, look the first time it was Sean, we weren’t even in a relationship then and Larissa got mad at me, for making you hit Sean, but I didn’t want you to beat him up and I didn’t even know she had any feelings for him and now Kay… Blue is beginning be my friend, I like her, very much and I’m a hundred percent certain that she will hate me, is this a curse?”
I heard him chuckling and I turned to him sharply.
“What’s so funny?” I asked harshly.
He shrugged.
“Everything ” he said with an amused grin.
“Call it off Christian ”
“Call what off?”
“Tell that man, whoever it is you sent to kill Kay, tell them to not kill him, tell them to forget he exists ”
“Why?… give me one good reason why I should call it off and maybe I might consider”
“No Christian, don’t do this with me, the last time you used word play and told me that you might consider, now I know better, I need assurance that you’ll call it off’
He thought about it for a while, his business man wits was not getting past me this time, no way.
“Fine”
“The reason is that Blue kind of likes him, I don’t know if she’s interested in just sex or him as an individual but if you kill him, it would hurt her”
He was quiet, I saw that he would change his mind.
“She’ll find another Kay, they are not hard to find” he said after three minutes.
He walked past me, I ran to him and hugged his back. He halted, his body tensed but relaxed almost immediately.
“Please” I begged.
“Why do you care about him so much?”
“I don’t, I just care about Blue”
He sighed.
“Why do you always get to me, how do you manage to do it, whey I’m with you I’m a vegetable ”
I exhaled sharply and held my chest with both hands, Kay Anderson was going to live.
“Who’s there?” Christian asked picking the piece of earring from the floor.
“It’s me, Blue.. is Jenna right?”
“Now isn’t that what you call a true friend?” Christian asked with a smile.
“It’s too early to put your hopes up” I said.
“Come in” Christian replied, the door came open and Blue walked in, she looked totally fine as if nothing happened, I wondered if it was one of her acts.
“Aspirin… How bad was the pain?” She asked looking at the bottle of the bed.
“I’m fine now”
We stared at each other for a little while not knowing what to say next.
“I’m sorry” she said.
I raised a brow.
“Why are you apologizing?”
“Because that asshole put his hands on you, it’s a shame I thought he was a good guy”
I was taken aback, she wasn’t a bitch, it this what having a good friend feel like?
“Thank you”
“For what?” She asked with a laugh.
“I dunno”
“Girls are so… Weird” Christian said, he was leaning on the wall watching us the entire time.
“Uh, a girl needs her privacy” blue said, my mouth flew open.
“That’s what I always say!”
“You do, me too!”
She stretched her arms and mind flew open unconsciously.
We locked ourselves in tight hug.
“I’m going to see if they have beer downstairs, you guys can kiss and get each other laid if you want” Christian said leaving.
“He’s jealous of me” Blue said laughing.
“He’s what?”
“Jenna… He’s jealous that you like me”
“He is?”
“You should have seen his face”
“He better be jealous” I said with a chuckle.
“Mr Christian is so fucking hot, see the way he pushed Kay and fuck, he’s like a killing machine… Sex with him must be…”
“Blue!”
“Sorry, wanna go somewhere?”
“Sorry ladies, no more outing, we’re leaving, business calls” Kylee said entering the room with two empty luggages, two house staffs escorted her with carrying two more.
“Christian said these might be enough to pack your things”
“It would be” I said feeling sad that I had to leave already.
“To think you only came with a pair of night gowns and now you’re leaving with four luggages, girl” Blue said, her hand was on my shoulder.
“Wipe the sadness off your face Jenna, if Christian sees you sad he’ll make us stay here for another month, I want to get the hell out of here, these college kids are starting to get on my nerves”
I sat on the bed and Blue sat beside me.
“Where have you been all my life, sister?” She asked, triggering a heart warming laugh, that lasted a while and when I was done laughing, my heart turned cool.
