Kylee started crying all of sudden. My shoulders jerked as I heard her sobs, I turned to see that she was really crying, I never knew Kylee could cry. She was a solid wall. Christian rushed towards her before I could swallow my ice cream. She was sitting o an arm chair and both of her hand was covering her eyes as she cried.
Her body shook very hard and she was not trying to be quiet. It was an angry cry.
I put my plate aside and went to stand in front of her. Christian shifted to the side to make space for me to console her.
“Kylee, tell me what happened” he said quietly.
She tore her hands away from her eyes and with a trembling finger she pointed to the table.
I went towards the table and picked up two papers, both were printed.
I handed one to Christian and read the one that had a note on it.
I was speechless by the time I reached a quarter. Christian and I exchanged notes and reading the second one almost made me puke in my mouth.
“He belived whoever wrote it” Kylee cried.
I dropped the paper and went to hug her, she clutched onto me like a lifeline and she cried on my chest.
“How long ago had it been?”
“Maybe three hours, maybe four” Kylee answered him.
Christian frowned down at the pieces of paper as if he was going to stare out the answers.
“Reading this is disgusting, sounds like it was written by a five year old”
Kylee tried to hold back her tears.
“It’s okay Kylee, we’re going to find whoever did this” I whispered.
“It could be anyone. I don’t have a fucking clue” Kylee cried.
I had my thoughts.
“Could it be Regalia?” I asked Christian.
He turned away from the note and looked at me.
“She’s petty but not to this length. She would have just settled on verbal combat”
“Jeandre? Marcellino?”
Christian shook his head.
“Jeandre would have sat Josef down to tell him but Jeandre wouldn’t lie, his gain is not plenty. And, I’m sure Marcellino doesn’t even know Josef’s name, he wouldn’t have looked twice in his direction”
“My mum, she has mentioned… Not liking Kylee ”
Not liking Kylee was an understatement. She had a mouthful of words when it came to how much she hated Kylee.
Kylee’s crying suddenly stopped and she raised her head.
“Elisa could have done this”
“Yes, she could have ” Christian said in a way that made me hear a but. “But, she had been too broken and preoccupied these past few days. She didn’t do it”
Kylee was confused, so was I but with the way we were staring at Christian, we were relying on his cruel mind to find the accomplice.
“What do you think” Kylee asked.
Christian sat on the bed, picked the bowl of ice cream I left there and took a scoop.
He ate it slowly as if he was pondering, it made me want to kiss him, badly.
I remembered that we had a serious matter at hand and I straightened up.
“I think Josef wrote it himself”
I had never heard anything so hilarious in my life. Kylee was shocked, wait, she believed him?
Maybe I was too stupid to see the possibility.
“I don’t see how” I admitted.
“That’s because you’re too innocent to see the possibility” Christian said with a proud smile.
Okay, I wasn’t too stupid I was too innocent, are those even different at all?
“But it doesn’t…” Kylee was saying when Christian cut her off.
“Take it, read the subject matter, you are the subject matter, I am the subject matter but where is Jenna, my fiancee is supposed to be invisible all of a sudden? Thank you for giving Josef those condoms, if he opened it at all he would have found out that they were silicon packing, for the work boots I had gifted him. He works in a wet environment and if he needs to keep his shoes dry overnight, he would insert them in”
Kylee looked up sharply.
“I’d they are not condoms at all that means the note of me saying thanks for the good fuck was all fake and he would have known that it was all a lie, if he had just opened the damn things… Wait, how do you know where he works?”
“Background check, for your safety ”
My heart warmed at the last sentence.
The first note had been ruled out as not a lie but utter nonsense, the second note warning him to be aware of their supposed relationship… I looked up at Christian and he met my eyes.
“You had followed me upstairs with Jenna, but you went to your bedroom instead. Josef didn’t come to check up on you?” Christian asked her without breaking eye contact with me.
As we stared at each other, we were reliving those moments where he had me tied up, where he fucked me senselessly. I started getting wet.
“He didn’t and you know we all went to the city, he was with me at all times, we didn’t even leave each other’s sight ”
“Why would he do this?” I asked.
It was a crucial question.
Christian took another bite of my ice cream.
“Good question Baby” Christian said.
Kylee and I waited.
“Kylee, the note wasn’t just to make the both of you break up” Christian said and he shook his head in disgust.
I was at the verge of breaking down and crying.
“What was it for?” Kylee asked in fear.
“It was for Jenna to see” Christian said.
I cocked my head to the side. “Why?”
“Because he wants you” Kylee said, now she was disgusted.
I laughed at her words and turned to Christian, only to meet his face serious.
“You’re serious?” I asked the both of them and Kylee cleaned her cheeks with the back of her hand.
“I don’t think you guys understand, I don’t think Josef knows my eye color, i don’t think he wants me”
Kylee stretched one of the note to me.
“He was warning someone else, not himself. If you remove his name and add yours, voila” Christian said, I gasped.
“Yes, that was why your name wasn’t included at all” Christian said.
“Read again ” Christian said.
“I don’t want her to read it” Christian groaned.
“I know it’s not real, you guys haven’t fucked… Have you?”
