“Cole, let’s go out,”
Natalie said later that evening while she sat in her run still having a bad day and it was all Rafael’s fault, today made it officially a week since he last came, the mad man.
“Sure,”
Nicole said . She needed to get out of this space before she go crazy.
“Get dress, we will leave in twenty minutes,”
Natalie said and left the room, Nicole didn’t bother to ask her where they were going, she wanted to be anywhere but on her own.
“Where are we going to?”
She asked Natalie on their way, Natalie was driving and singing along to the song playing on the stereo.
“A club,”
“A club? What? I don’t go clubbing, take me back home,”
Nicole said . She should have asked before leaving the house, she just thought they were going out like they used to, a club was a whole new thing to her.
“No, way, you are looking so down, a club is what you need to lift that mood, the rush there, you will enjoy it don’t worry,”
“I don’t want to,”
“You already agreed, I am not taking you back home, better deal with it, and the reason I took your car is because in case I get drunk you can drive me home since I know you can’t take alcohol,”
“So in other words I am just your driver,”
“Nah, I want you to relax too,”
She said and Nicolekept quiet, the house wasn’t pleasing so maybe a club would be better.
“What are you sucking about ma’am?”
Natalie asked in a mocking tune over the loud music, they were in the VIP section but the music from down was still as loud as ever, reminding her again why she hated clubs, but at least they can hear each other.
“Nothing, do I look like I am sucking?”
“Yes, you have this frown and you have been whispering to yourself, you only do that when you are expecting something and you don’t get it or when someone gets on your nerves, so which is it?”
Natalie asked, Nicole hated that she had some habits that people could easily catch up on.
“It’s none of the above,”
“That sounds so fake but I will let you be,”
Natalie replied as she got up and walked away leaving her sitting on her own, what was she even doing at a club? She couldn’t even drink even if she wants to, it wasn’t good for the baby, she didn’t even know how to drink, she wondered why she let Natalie talk her into coming here, when she was supposed to be home sleeping, or drawing or painting, there was so much she could do with her Friday night than even coming to a club where there were only sweaty and drink people out of which a bunch of then are here with other people’s partners.
“Yeah, says the one that was sucking at home,”
The voice in her head said.
“I am still doing that here, I am just going to go home,”
She whispered to herself as she walked towards the exit of the club, she quickly texted Natalie that she left and got into her car, driving through the streets at night was weirdly smoothing and she decided to park her car by the way and breath in some fresh air, she breathe in and out trying to get the thoughts of Rafael out if her head but they just kept crawling back in just like they have been doing all week, he was to be blamed, he riled her up, made her get used to having him around her and trying to do shits for her only for him to disappear for one whole week, who does that?
“He has a business to run, you were the one not giving him attention and telling him to go away, I don’t know what you were expecting,*
The voice in her head said.
“He shouldn’t have shown up in my face if he knew he would disappear after,”
She let out, she turned around when she noticed a car stopping close to her, she waited for the driver to come down but whoever they were didn’t come down, but she could feel they were watching her, others cars were speeding by and she had a weird feeling about it, so she got back into her car and drove away, making sure to look through the side mirror and as she expected, the car started following her.
“Who the fuck is that?”
She whispers as she increased the speed of the car, whoever it was did the same, if it was daytime, she would have stopped and go confront the person but this was night and that didn’t look like Rafael’s car, maybe he got a new one, but why will he be acting like a stalker, the car obviously noticed that she knows she was being followed but kept following her even though she wanted to believe it’s Rafael she still couldn’t bring herself to not worry, what if it’s not him and she goes down to confront whoever it was and something bad happens? She just have to keep driving, whoever it was can not enter her neighborhood except he lives there, all she needed to do was drive faster until she reaches the estate where her family mansion was located but she didn’t let her guard down though, she kept looking behind and at a point, the car made another turn and it was gone.
“You are just paranoid, they were going on their own way,”
She told herself but she didn’t believe that, if they were really on their way why then were they trying to match her speed and why did they stop when she did? Too sus for her not to be worried, she let out a breath after a few seconds, this is one of the reasons she hated night and everything associated with it, if it was daytime, she might not have noticed but cuz it is night, all her senses where alive and so was her distrust for humans.
“Does that mean you are not human too?”
The voice in her head mocked.
“Get out of my head I am in a bad, bad, mood,”
“Yes, ma,”
The voice said and went silent, she drove the rest of the way home, when she got home she went up into her room as angry tears gathered in her eyes, it was all his fault, he better not show up near her again or she will kill him…
