I reached the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror. My cheeks were flushed and I looked embarrassed as hell. What the actual fuck!
Kaylee walked into the bathroom and she came towards me. I dashed inside the cubicle and closed the door.
“Please leave me alone” I said to her.
“Jenna, Christian asked me to come and check up on you and he wants me to tell you that he’s sorry. He didn’t know what happened, he didn’t even know about the spotlight”
I rested my head on my hand and sobbed. Kaylee was quiet, or maybe she left because the entire room was quiet.
“Jenna!’ Christian said knocking on my door. O gasped.
“What are you doing here, it’s the ladies room ” I yelled.
“Jenna, please come out ” Christian said trying the door handle.
“Stop!” I yelled at him. “Leave!”
I knew he was still LL standing outside there though he was quiet.
“I’m sorry, if I had known that it would happen, I wouldn’t have done it”
“Why did you do it”
“No reason, it was just like a knee jerk reaction, I was leaving and I decided to give you a peck on the cheek”
I was quiet.
“Baby, please come out, I’m sorry” he said as if he was talking to a wounded animal.
“Christian, I’ll be out soon, please give me space ”
“Okay, I’ll wait outside ”
“No, go back to the seat and I’ll be there ”
There was a long pause.
“No”
“Christian!”
“Fine, I’ll go back to the seat. Please come”
I heard the door openn and close. I felt the toilet and went straight to the parking lot, he was going to ruin my reputation, and everybody would think I’m disgusting”
“Jenna, where the hell are you going!” Kaylee asked, I turned to see her running towards me.
“I want the go home Kylee” I said. I couldn’t explain how sick I was.
“I don’t feel so good” I told her.
“Please come back to the set, Mr Christian would take you home”
I didn’t want to argue, Christian would be furious if he knew that I left.
I followed her back and when we got to the seat, there was a very huge and mean looking man sitting where I was supposed to be sitting.
The were three tall and huge men standing behind him. Christian was sitting alone but he looked as if he was the one that had them cornered, there was even a smile on his lips, when he saw me he froze. The mean looking man turned to me with his dead beady eyes.
“My my… Who’s this beauty?” The man said and he swatted his tongue on his bottom lip.
“Kaylee” Christian said once and he gave her a look.
She turned to me with fearful eyes.
“Let’s go” she said grabbing my hand forcefully.
“Is she your girlfriend?” The mean man asked.
“Don’t be silly Mr Mason, you know I don’t do girlfriends. She’s just a naive slut I sleep with” Christian said.
The words rang in my ear, and rerang and echoed.
Kylee didn’t hear it, she was too engrossed in fear.
Everything faded away and all I could see was the disgust etched on Christian’s face when he said that I was just a naive slut he sleeps with… A naive slut.
“Get in” Kylee ordered me, she had shed off her scared shell and she had taken back her assertive and bossy nature.
I was on autopilot, filled with pain, gut wrenching pain. Tears welled up in my eyes.
“Drive now!” Kylee shouted at the driver and the car zoomed off.
“Send Kelsey and Donald to meet Mr Christian and secure him in case Mr Mason tries anything” Kylee shouted into her phone talking with someone.
“Is Mr Christian going to be okay?” The driver asked.
“Mr Christian is the toughest man alive, even a thousand men can’t take him down with collective effort. Mr Mason is nothing ” Kylee said
In no time the car reached a house that I had never seen before.
“Where is this place?” I asked Kylee.
“Mr Christian would want me to bring you here, it’s one of his safe houses, Mr Mason is very cunning and irrational man, we don’t know when he would strike next and who he would strike ”
Why would he want to protect a naive slut like me, huh?
“I want to go home”
“Jenna, not now. Get in and stop acting like a child”
I raised a brow at her, she stood her ground.
“Get in or with the love of God, I’ll lift you myself and take you inside, it might be tumble but I’m crazy enough for the job, don’t underestimate my strength when I’m angry ” she yelled.
I climbed down from the car and went inside the house. It was warm and cozy.
With a traditional and down to eart vibe, it felt nothing like Christian.
“Secure the doors, the windows, everything. Mr Christian would have your heads if anything happens to her” Kylee said pointing to me.
The men wearing suits turned to me and they nodded. Were they judging me?
In their eyes, I was in slut, wasn’t I?
“Show me a room, I need to sleep ”
“Of course ” Kylee said leading me to the master bedroom.
I was about to tell her to take me somewhere else but the she pushed me in and locked the door.
“Hey!” I banged on the door and there was no reply.
“If you’re hungry, just say it and I’ll send someone to get you food and water. Anything you need just ask me but don’t ask me to unlock the door because I won’t”
“Are you crazy you fucking bitch!” I yelled banging both my hands on the door.
There was no response.
I went to the bed, weak to the limbs and I climbed on it. The tears came and my entire body was shaking as I cried.
Naive slut.
I cried for a really long time, until there was no tears left to shed. Eventually I slept off.
“Has she eaten anything yet?” Were the first words I heard, then the blinding lights. I turned my eyes back to the bed so that it can adjust.
“Baby, are you okay?”
It was Christian, he was here, his fingers were cupping my face, his cologne was soothing me.
I looked around the room and everything came back to me, to the safe house, the scary looking Mr Mason and then Christian’s face when he said I wasn’t his girlfriend but a naive slut.
“Get your hands away from me” I spat acidly.
