Just The Beginning ?
Chapter eighteen
Vee
Am so exhausted today and all I want is to rest. To bad I still have to work. The thing that is actually making me feel more exhausted is having to see Alex’s face again. I sure hope he’s not here to ruin my night like he’s been doing lately.
I walk in the dressing room and unzip my dress, letting it fall to the floor as i sigh in relief. I found the dress to tight today and getting out of it was the only thing on my mind, while I was on stage tonight.
I hate that I have to dress out of my comfort zone and entertain drunk a$$holes, just to make some money!
As am walking over to take a seat so as to get rid of the high heels, the door suddenly opens and Alex walks in.
What the he..ll is he doing here?
” What the…….”I say trying to cover myself with my hands. ” Get out! You are not supposed to be here. ” Am only in a red bra and a matching panty
and I feel so self conscious right now. No man has ever seen me like this before!
Alex doesn’t say a word. He just stands there, his eyes scanning my body. I really don’t like the way he’s looking at me.
” Hey, ” I snap my finger at him. ” What are you staring at? I didn’t know that apart from been a rude and annoying piece of sht, you are also a per.vert! ”
That doesn’t seem to affect him as he takes steps towards me a cocky smile on his face.
” What…… What are you doing? ” I stummer as i take a few steps back.
” Relax, am not going to do anything to you and sincerely speaking, ” he says, eyeing me up and down.” You are not my type. ”
I roll my eyes and turn around not caring whether he’s looking at me and start putting on my pants.
If am not his type and he has no intentions of hurting me, then there’s nothing to worry about.
I spin around facing him as i button up my shirt.
” What do you want from me? ”
He still staring at me, but not in disgust like he always does. There’s something different about his stare that I just can’t put my finger on.
It’s like he’s looking at me for the very first time and I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.
He looks so good dressed in khaki pants and a black shirt that shows off his muscles. He also has a black blazer on and looks so sxy just standing there, his hands in his pocket.He really is gorgeous, too bad he’s a dk.
” Like what you see? ” He asks a silly smile on his face. ”
” You wish! ”
” Come on, you can’t deny that am good looking and you can’t stop staring. ” He winks at me.
” I was not staring okay? I need to go back to work, so if you have something to say now is the time! ” I say crossing my hands over my chest.
” Am here to talk about George. He’s really down and heartbroken after you rejected him. You really didn’t have to do that to him. ”
” I did what I had to Alex. I didn’t want to give him false hope when there wasn’t any. ”
” So it wasn’t my fault? ”
” Not everything revolves around you and if you’ll excuse me, I have to go, ” I say walking past him but he grabs my hand.
” Am here in peace, okay? ”
” Peace?! ” I say letting out a small chuckle. ” That’s kind of hard to believe. Just leave me alone already. ”
” Am trying to be nice here but you are really starting to get on my nerves. ”
” And you think I care?! ” I ask raising an eyebrow.
” OKay …am done here, ” he says as he turns to walk out but suddenly stops and looks at me. He seems to be in some sought of dilemma. ” Listen, am sorry that I’ve been rude to you.I… I was just going through something and I hope you can forgive me and talk to George. He really likes you and am doing all this for him. ”
He looks at me waiting for an answer but I don’t say anything. I still can’t believe that he actually apologized! Well, he might have done it out of obligation, but that still counts.
He shakes his head and turns to leave but before he’s out, Mike walks in. He’s stunned for a moment when he sees Alex, and then gives me a “what the he..ll look. ”
” I thought I told you to stay away from her, ” Mike says, throwing daggers at Alex.
” You did, but you should know that I don’t take orders from anyone. ”
Mike walks dangerously close to him fisting his hands and I quickly walk up to them ,standing in between, my back facing Alex.
” Look Mike, I told you that I can defend myself and anyway, he was just leaving. ”
” Why are you defending him? The guy is always rude to you and its about time I teach him a lesson or two on how to respect women. ”
” Bring it on, ” Alex says taking a step forward such that my back is now plastered on his chest. I can feel the rise and fall of his chest and am getting this weird feeling in my stomach.
” Please just stop it Mike! If Nick walks in on this, we are both going to be in trouble, ” I say hoping to get some sense into him.
” I don’t care, you know I’ll do anything for you. ”
” But am not asking you to do anything for me and just so you know, I need this job, okay? ” i yell.
He’s really starting to annoy the shit out of me!
” You know what. “Mike says shaking his head. ” Sometimes I think you enjoy the way this guy treats you. I mean, do you like him or something? ”
” I think there’s trouble in paradise, ” Alex whispers in my ear and I I shiver involuntarily.
” It’s really none of your business whether I like him or not and you know what? “I step away from them. ” You two can kill each other for all I care. ”
” Wait a minute, isn’t he your boyfriend? ” Alex asks confused.
” Of course I am. ” That’s Mike lying through his teeth.
What’s wrong with him? I thought we had already talked about this.
” Mike, you are not my boyfriend and I’d appreciate it if you stopped saying you are. ”
Mikes face suddenly falls and he looks angry.
” Wow! This is quite entertaining, ” Alex says a smirk on his face. ” Someone is clearly obsessed and can’t handle the truth. ”
” Stop it Alex. I think it’s time you left, ” I say opening the door for him. He gives me one last look before walking out.
” Am sorry vee, I didn’t mean to offend you. I was just trying to protect you, ” Mike says.
” I really appreciate that but you already promised not to do that again. ”
” I know and am sorry .”
” It’s okay. ”
” Anyway,. I just came to tell you that Lisa was fired. ”
” What? ”
“Yeah, you had me right. The orders came from above and Nick couldn’t do anything about it. ”
“From above? That means Nicks father did it but why ?”
” All I know is someone complained directly to him about her and I have a feeling it has something to do with Alex.”
” Yeah, I think you are right. All this has Stacy written all over it, that bch is crazy! Any way let’s get back to work before we suffer the same fate as lisa.” I walk out and Mike follows.
Lisa and I haven’t been talking after that fateful night and am not sure whether I should call her or not. I’ve actually tried to reach out to her a few times this week but she avoided me like a plague and so I gave up. I wish she had listened to me when i told her that Alex was trouble.
As am about to go take some orders, my phone rings and Lisa’s name flashes on my screen.
” Are you happy now?” she asks as soon as i answer and leaves me confused.
” What? ”
” Don’t act stupid with me. You wanted Alex all to yourself and that’s why you got me fired! ” She says sniffing and I can tell that she’s crying.
” You know that i can never do that to you, and anyway, I don’t have that kind of authority. ”
” Sure you do! All you had to do was seduce Nick and Bam! Your wish is his command. ”
” Okay… You have to stop talking crazy now! ”
” Am not crazy vee. I saw you walk in the dressing room with Alex behind you. Will you deny that to? What were you up to in there, huh? ”
” It’s not what you are thinking Lisa. ”
” Oh really? I don’t believe you ! You destroyed my life vee and I hate you for that. ”
” I am not responsible for your shtty life Lisa! Please wake up from your delusion and look at the choices you’ve made and be accountable for them. Stop blaming me because you are not happy with your life! You created it, not me, okay! ” I lash out and hang up on her.
All I ever did was try to help her and she has no right blaming me for things that are not my fault.
I wont take it anymore!
