Kaylee was a little saver.
She approached with her eyebrows drawn.
“Who are you?” She asked Tina coldly.
Tina looked from Kylee, to me then to Blue.
“I was just asking questions” Tina said, obviously intimidated.
Kylee swiped the pictures Tina was holding and glanced at it.
To my surprise, Kylee tore it to shreds.
“Get out now” she commanded in a perfection that only came with watching and observing Christian being cold and bossy carefully for years. It tore into Tina like a thousand tiny bullets.
Tina stood on her feet, she tried to square her shoulders but in only made her look like she was drunk and trying too much to stand up right. Kaylee had unmanned her.
Tina reached into her bag, pulled out a camera and before I knew it, she started taking pictures. In seconds lights shone on me and she ran as fast as she could the other way.
Blue wanted to go after her, I was frozen.
“Don’t worry Blue, Christian walked to the exit door. When we were in the parking lot, my phone buzzed. I pulled it out from my pocket, hoping that it was Christian calling but instead, it was an unknown number.
Disappointment washed through me like a tsunami. I grimaced and picked the call.
“Hello, Jenna?”
“Jay ” I said, a smile was tugging at the corners of my lips as I felt bubbles of happiness.
Jenna, is that Christian?’ Kylee asked, her eyebrows were drawn in concern.
“No, Kylee ‘
“Are busy?” Jay asked from the other end.
“No Jay, I’m free as free can be”
“Your dad gave me your number ” he said and I rolled my eyes.
“Of course, he was practically wishing that we’d get married on the spot ” I said and Jay laughed.
“It’s really nice hearing your voice over the phone. You know, I got your number two days ago and I was scared to call, I’ve been staring at my phone ”
“Why?”
“Rejection… You said no to me at your dinner table Jenna ” he said, I heard the sadness in his voice and I was filled with instant guilt.
“Can you go out in a date with me?” He asked softly.
“Jay..”
“Jenna, it’s just food and drinks… Please ”
“When are you going to stop asking me”
“I’m not going to” he said matter of factly.
“I’m sorry, I can’t” I said shaking my head.
He was quiet for a while.
“Jenna, come on let’s get going ” Kylee said staring at me warily. I was certain she would tell Christian who I was talking to on the phone.
“Jay, I have to go”
“Goodbye ” he said and I ended the call.
Kylee drove me to my house.
“Aren’t you coming in?” I asked the both of them.
“Another day sister. I’ve got a family dinner to host Blue said with a half smile.
Kylee smiled and I saw she wasn’t coming.
“Christian told me to tell you that he’ll be coming to meet you in the evening ” Kylee said and she drove off.
I went inside by myself and I sat in the huge house by myself.
After about half an hour later, I received a package when I didn’t order anything.
I thought that it would be from Christian but it wasn’t. I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a red box.
I stared at it in worry and confusion I opened the lid and inside was another box, smaller but brown.
I tried to open that one but the lid was too hard to open, I used a knife to pop it open sitting inside were pictures.
I picked the first one and stared at it.
The figures was hardly recognizable because the woman had her head bowed down low. She was naked and her dark hair fell all over the place covering her face.
I dropped the picture aside and took the next picture. Now the woman was chained to an X on the wall, she was staring straight into the camera like a siren and there was a smile on her face.
“Talia” I gasped in recognition.
She was the woman that had confronted me in the toilet.
I dropped the picture quickly and I didn’t want to pick it anymore.
I stood up and pulled my phone from my pocket. I called him multiple times but he didn’t pick up.
I was angry and frustrated, there were multiple emotions flashing through me multiple times.
I went to sit down and picked the next picture, wondering where this was leading.
Talia was naked again, bending over a small leather table and at the side of the picture, the person holding the camera was holding a flogger. His hands were outstrched, raising the flogger in the air when he had taken the photo.
I stared at the hand in disbelief and I threw the picture down as if it was threw the picture down as if was a cursed item. I knew that hand . I memorized that hand too well. That hand had touched every inch of my body, it was Christian’s hand.
My mind was going wild with thoughts.
“But it was in the past” I tried defending.
The voice in my head laughed at me.
The subs might be right, you’re not giving him what he wants, you’re not enough and now he’s falling out of love with you.
“He’s not falling out of love with me” I said shaking my head and gathering the pictures with shaky hands. I put it back into the box and shut it as if it were evil trying to escape.
I was panting.
My phone buzzed on the couch, I ran for it and picked it when I saw it was Christian calling me.
“Hello ” I shouted into the phone.
“Jenna… Did you get my package?” The sexy voice asked from the other end of the phone.
It wasn’t Christian speaking, it was Talia.
How did she get this photo?!
“If you’re wondering how I got his cellphone, he’s with me”
I did not want to believe her.
My phone buzzed signalling an incoming notification.
“I just sent you pictures, for proof” with that, she ended the call.
