Just The Beginning ?
Episode twenty
Vee
” What? How could she talk to you like that? She’s such a bitch, ” Maya says and I glare at her.
” Don’t call her that. She’s really just confused and thinks she’s in love with Alex. Let’s hope she gets back to her senses soon. ”
” But it’s still not okay that she’s blaming you for all her problems. The next time she does that, am going to teach her a lesson she won’t forget. No one messes with my sister, ” Maya says furiously. ”
” Yes and you can count me in, ” Rita adds and I can’t help but smile.
We are all sitting at the dinning table having breakfast and I have just told them, everything that happened in the club last night.
I rarely talk to them about the stuff that happens at the club but today I just had to tell someone about Lisa and her crazy accusations.
I know that they are right about what Lisa said to me but i understand that she under a lot of stress since she was fired from the club.
I still don’t get why she was fired but am guessing Stacy must really have a lot of connection.
Something else that I just don’t understand is why Stacy is still with Alex after he cheated on her. I mean, shouldn’t she be punishing him for betraying her and not Lisa? Anyway, that’s none of my business.
” No one is going to teach Lisa any lessons here okay? ”
” Okay, ” They both reply.
” But if you ask me, I think this Alex kind of likes you and that’s why he doesn’t want George anywhere near you. ” That’s Maya been her crazy usual self.
” Stop talking crazy Maya. The only person Alex likes is himself, ” I say rolling my eyes.
” Did you guys say that Alex has a best friend named George? ” Rita asks.
” Yes why ?”
” I just happen to know two best friends with the same names but I guess it’s just a coincidence, mostly because the Alex I know is such a nice person. ”
” It must be, ” I say taking a sip of my coffee.
We spend the rest of the day cleaning up and afterwards ,I take a nap as the girls watch tv.
” Hey vee, wake up,” Maya calls and I wake up yawning.
” What’s wrong Maya? ” I ask wiping my eyes.
I sit up on the bed and glare up at her, waiting for an explanation as to why she woke me up.
” Stop giving that look already, it’s not my fault that you have a visitor. ”
” A visitor? ”
” Yes, Nick is here and he needs to talk to you, urgently. ”
Nick? That’s strange.
Nick and I used to hang out a lot when I first started working at the bar. He used to visit me then but suddenly stopped. I didn’t understand why but i also never bothered to ask since our friendship wasn’t affected in anyway.
” Okay, I’ll be there in a few. ”
Maya walks out and I go to the bathroom to wash my sleepy face.
Nick is all alone when I walk in the sitting room and looks worried about something.
” Hi Nick, what’s up? ” I ask joining him on the couch.
” Hey vee. Am sorry to wake you but this can’t wait. ”
” Okay… So what’s wrong? ” I ask.
” You know that I fired Lisa last night, right? ” he asks and I nod. ” I really didn’t want to but my Dad ordered me to. I had no other choice. ”
” I understand Nick. You did what you had to do. ”
” Well, Lisa didn’t understand. She called Chloe and told her that I was cheating on her with you. ”
” What?! ”
” Yes, and the worst part is that Chloe believes her and wants nothing to do with me anymore.”
He looks so crushed and hurt right now and i can’t help but pity him. He really loves Chloe and loosing her will literally destroy him.
I can’t believe Lisa is doing this to him after everything he’s done for her. That girl has crossed the line this time and to think it’s all because of Alex.
” Am sorry about that Nick, I never thought that she’d ever stoop that low. You should talk to Chloe and explain everything. She can’t just throw away all the years you’ve been together all because of a lie. ”
” I’ve tried calling her but she won’t pick up my calls. I am actually on my way to her place and was hoping that you’d join me. Maybe if we explain to together, she might understand, ” Nick says .
” Are you sure that’s a good idea? ”
” Of course. We’ve got nothing to hide.”
” Okay, give me a minute and I’ll be right back. ”
*****
A few minutes later, Nick parks his car and I get out wowed by the sight in front of me. I never thought Chloe was this rich. I f you could only see the building she is living in, it looks crazy expensive!
After taking the elevator, we are outside her door in seconds .
” What are you two doing here? ” she asks with no sign of letting us in.
” We need to talk, ” Nick says walking in and I follow.
” So the both of you have finally decided to come clean and tell me about your secret relationship, ” Chloe says her hands crossed over her chest.
” Vee is just my friend and you know of that. Nothing has ever happened between us Chloe. ”
” They always say where there’s smoke, there’s fire and it’s no coincidence that Lisa confirmed something that I always suspected. I even asked you to stay away from her. ”
Suspected?! What is she talking about?
” And I did stay away just to make you happy. I’ve always done everything to please you but you seem to always doubt me. Lisa is just bitter because I fired her and that’s why she’s doing this, ” Nick says.
Am just standing here feeling so out of place. I think i should have just stayed at home.
” Lisa is also vee friend and knows almost everything about her. I have every reason to believe her especially after she told me that vee also stole her boyfriend.”
” Wait, what? ” Lisa is really starting to get on my nerves. ” Okay listen up Chloe. Nick and I are just friends, nothing more okay? Don’t you even have a little faith in the person that you claim to love? Anyone can tell that Nick is crazy about you and you’d be stupid to loose him all because of a stupid lie. ”
” I don’t need advice from a boyfriend snatching hoe, ” Chloe lashes out on me and that catches me off guard. ” What are you even doing here? Don’t you have any shame left?”
I know that she hurting right now but that still doesn’t give her the right to be rude to me, and what’s with everyone blaming me for everything?!
” Don’t talk to her like that. Vee is here because she has nothing to hide. I thought bringing her along would make you see sense, but boy, was I wrong!
” Chloe, please believe me. There’s nothing between us, ” I plead with her.
” Okay, if you want me to believe you, I need Nick to do something for me,” she says turning to look at him. ” I need you to fire vee. ”
Is she out of her mind?
” There’s no way am doing that, ” Nick says without a second thought and I sigh in relief.
” I thought so, ” Chloe says glaring at him.
” Let’s go vee, there’s no point in been here anymore. ”
” Are you just going to give up on us, just like that? ” That’s Chloe.
” What us?” Nick asks shaking his head. ” I was always in this relationship alone. I did everything to make you happy but you never once appreciated it. You always blackmailed me into doing whatever you want but not anymore. I wont destroy vee’s life just to make you happy. ”
With that we walk out and I swear i see a tear drop from Chloe eyes. why is she doing this to him if she doesn’t want to loose him?
Relationship are crazy and I seriously never want to be in one, ever!
” You were so right about what you said vee. Love is just a waste of time, ” Nick says leaning on his car. I can tell he’s really hurt.
” Am sorry Nick. I know this is partly my fault, ” I say sadly.
” What? don’t say that, ” he says pulling me in a hug. “Chloe is just selfish and I can’t keep on letting her get her way. ”
” Look what we have here, ” Someone says from behind me.
Nick frees me from the hug and when I turn to look. Alex is standing in front of me, a stupid grin on his face.
Oh boy, here we go again!
