Amirah’s Pov
I wake up and find myself at Hunter’s place with my clothes gone and I’m wearing one of his shirt and the biggest question I wanna ask is what the fuck happened yesterday.
God tell me I didn’t have sex with Hunter, I’m going to kill Paisley.
I got off the bed and head to the living room to see Hunter escorting some of the directors out, I patiently waited until he did and walked up to me.
“Good morning.” I grinned and he nods.
“Ummh, thanks for picking me up from the club, how did you find me? ” I asked and he shot me a puzzled look.
“I didn’t pick you up, you surprisingly showed up at my house drunk and so I let you in.” he said coldly my cheeks heat up while I looked back at him courageously.
“Did I say anything stupid or did I do anything stupid? ” he softens up a bit.
“Like you love me? ” my heart skipped a beat, wait I told Hunter I love him?
“Did I? ” I asked.
“What are you going to do if I say yes? ” he questioned.
I was astonished with his words, did I really say I love him?
I was frozen in my thoughts, after a while Hunter sighed.
“You didn’t say anything and nothing happened between us, you puked on your clothes so I changed it they are down the hall.” he said coldly and I nodded and thanked him.
Later that day I met with Paisley and Kailey who were busy giggling to themselves, I walked over to meet them since it was our break.
“Congratulations on getting engaged Amirah.” Kailey hugged me while I pulled away from the hug confused.
“Engaged?? I thought you were the one getting engaged? ” I wore a shocking expression trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.
The other staff who went with us yesterday clapped bringing out a cake.
“What the fuck is happening? ” I glared at Paisley who was grinning nefariously.
“Paisley said you were engaged to Alec Rhett and you were down and she decided we act like it was my bachelorette party to boost your self confidence.”
‘Jesus Christ !!! ‘ my inner thoughts screamed in shock.
“Wait, so you’re not engaged? ” I asked to clarify.
“Hell no I’m not into commitments yet but I was so happy when Paisley broke the news.” she hugged me again as few of the staffs came to celebrate my ‘engagement’.
“Let’s get a pic of this guys I wanna look back at this moment.” Paisley said bringing up her phone to take pictures.
All I heard was congratulations from fellow staffs while I thought what kind of spade I was going to use to bury Paisley.
“So how do you like your engagement ?” she asked.
“You got me drunk and drove me to Hunter’s place didn’t you and for what? ” I hissed at her.
“Oh please, isn’t it obvious I knew how nervous you were of making the right decision so I set this up to make you feel better besides you were down, if you prefer going with Alec then you can go but you ain’t leaving without me pulling one of my stunts on you.” she said and hugged me.
“If I get married you are totally not invited.” I said patting her back.
“If I don’t get invited I’ll switch your kids.” she threatened and I gulped down as we both giggled.
“So are you going or not? ” she said as I only nodded.
~~~~~~~~
I wore a black dress, it was 8pm and I was about to leave with Alec, Paisley came to see me off again so did Hunter I didn’t carry anything because most of my stuff were in Nashville if I had? But most importantly I didn’t feel like bringing them along, Paisley promised to ship it.
I only carried a purse with my phone in while I hugged Paisley, Alec was outside with his car waiting for me.
“Call me.” she hugged me to the point she flattened my pancreas I guess.
She went in leaving Hunter at the door.
“This is goodbye again, I guess this time you won’t kiss me.” I muttered under my breath as he nodded sadly.
“I don’t have to, I already kissed you yesterday in the shower when you were drunk, you said I didn’t love you that Alec loved you, I know I told you to forget it but I can’t lie to myself and lie to you, I love you Amirah, I can’t help myself and I don’t want you to go but you’ve made up your mind but just know no matter where you go, be the sea or air, be countries or continents I love you, I was wrong when I said you weren’t going to win anymore.”
“You won again Vera.” he said I stood in front of him lost and confused, the blasting horn from Alec’s car brought me back to reality.
“bye Hunter.” I said running up to the car and got in and glued my face against the window.
“Ready? ” Alec hymmed I only nodded.
We got to the airport, it was raining already so the flight was delayed I waited in the hall as all the things Hunter said flashed across my mind and the conversation he had with Alec.
I got up running out of the airport and outside the rain, Alec followed but with an Umbrella.
“Amirah? ” I stopped, I got wet because of the rain, he walked up slowly towards me mixed but puzzled.
“I can’t follow you Alec, I can’t follow you all the way overseas to see your father.” I sighed.
“Then let’s go somewhere else.” he suggested.
“I can’t.” I looked back at him in tears.
“it’s time I end this relationship.” my voice cracked and Alec looked broken.
“Does this has to do with Hunter? ”
“It has nothing to do with Hunter, all my memories you told me you love me but I never told you back, I thought because I was a kid and you were way older than me but I still haven’t told you I love you, I don’t want to keep feeding you lies.” I muttered.
“it doesn’t matter Amirah, you’ll learn.” he said.
“No I won’t, I’m no longer your Dorothy who was happily over the heels for you that girl died the same day her family died, she was happy, she had great parents, a nosy ass sister best friends and an amazing boyfriend, that girl is gone the day her I learnt what pain is, your Amirah is no longer here, I’ve been trying to know which Amirah I am and I know I don’t want to be that old Amirah remembering her life was so perfect I don’t want to remember anything from my past I want them all dead.” I sighed.
“So you want to be with Hunter? He killed your parents Amirah? ”
“Yes he killed my parents, but it wasn’t his fault it was my Uncle and he showed regrets, and I forgive him, if he didn’t I wouldn’t have been close to my sister, I wouldn’t have the freedom I have now, I wouldn’t have met Ariel, I wouldn’t have met Paisley, everything happens for a reason and although it’s tragic there were few beautiful outcomes” I said
“besides you’re still dangerous too, I know your father killed Hunter’s father and my uncle used you to lure me so he could rape me and if that didn’t happen I would have died too so thank you, even if I followed you my life is still in danger.” I said.
“I heard your conversation from a few days ago with Hunter, who are you hiding and who is responsible for the death of Anabelle? ” he looked shocked at my question.
“What are you talking about? ” he lied.
“I have the recordings, you knew who killed my sister and who probably killed Ariel, tell me who and don’t lie to me.” I glared at him under the umbrella.
“he didn’t kill Ariel but he killed Anabelle.” my heart bled while I tried to hold back my tears.
“Who? ” I asked.
“I can’t tell you Amirah he’ll kill you too, I don’t want him to touch you that’s why.. ” I stepped back out of the Umbrella and he stopped.
“if you don’t tell me who killed my sister, I’ll assume you killed her Alec, until you are ready to confess, I don’t want anything to do with you.” I hissed backing out walking in the rain.
I walked in the rain until I got to Hunter’s place, I only walked because I wanted to cry out my eyes first before knocking on his door I hesitated at first thinking of what to say.
I froze as drops of rain dripped slowly down my body, I knocked on the door waiting until Hunter opened the door revealing me, I came in and he kept silent.
“Did you walk in the rain? ” he asked while I nodded.
“What about Alec? “he asked.
“I’m cold.” I said looking back into his eyes, he walked up to me picking me up in bridal style and carrying me to the bathroom he just prepared a warm bath at the bath tub.
I took off my shoes, and squeeze my hair dry while Hunter checked the Temperature of the bath, I took off my dress leaving me in my black bra and panties.
Hunter turned for a moment he was surprised but this isn’t the first time he’s seen someone half nude before.
“Thanks..” I stuttered but he looked away immediately.
“You’re welcome.” he said about to leave.
“I know this isn’t the first time you’ve seen a woman in her panties why is your reaction towards me different.” I cursed myself the moment I uttered those words.
He turned giving me a smirk and almost immediately my heart sank, I back up again the tile wall of the bathroom trapping me with a smug grin on his face.
He slightly forced his weight on mine, our eyes locked as his mouth warmed my cheeks.
“Do you want me to touch you Vera? Do you want me to kiss you manically until our tongues blend with each other? Do you want me to show you what pleasure is ?” I choked on the last words.
“I want you Vera, I can take you on right now, right here all you have to say is don’t stop, then I’ll mark you the way your body begs .” With that his lips smacked against mine softly…..
