Chapter 7
- Eva
- Fred's penthouse....
- Sometime around midnight...
- I jerk up from the bed when I feel something heavy, or I'd say someone, fall on me.
- "Ouch!" I hear a female voice exclaims in pain.
- A female? I didn't see any female when I came in this evening. Just then the lights flicked on and I'm met with a very angry Fred, I try my possible best to avoid his angry gaze.
- I take a peek at the woman next to him. She put gorgeous to shame, her proclean skin glittering, her small pink lips pouts as she rubs her back.
- Who is she?
- Then I remembered Fred told me before going out, that he'll come with his girlfriend later. I guess this is her. Well, now I know why Fred can't pay attention to someone like me, compare to this goddess I'm a disgrace to women all over the world.
- Someone snap their fingers in front of my eyes and I quickly come back to reality.
- "What are you doing here?!" Fred's angry voice boom.
- Huh? What does he mean?
- "I should be asking you that. What. Are. You. Doing. In. My. Room?!" I asked measuring shoulders with him.
- It's so late in the night, he should be in his room.
- He laughs sarcastically and scoffed.
- "Really? Your room?" I nod.
- Then he holds my chin in his tight grip. I winced in pain and frown as I struggle to get away from him.
- "Are you deaf, ugly?"
- I hit his hand so he can let go,but this beast didn't, his hold gets tighter.
- "I said count two rooms, the third is yours. THE THIRD IS YOURS!!" he screams the last part in my ears, then he pushes me away and I fall down.
- I gently rub on my chin to numb the pain. I get up from the ground and match my glare with his, Jerk!
- He could have told me nicely and I'll leave without putting up a fight.
- The woman quickly clung onto Fred's arm.
- "Darling! Who's this bitch? She almost broke my back" she whined.
- Oh! So it was her back that hits my head when I was having a sweet sleep.
- "She's not someone important"
- I gasp quietly.
- "Not someone important?" I walked round them as if I have a sinister plan in mind.
- I see the woman watching me cautiously and I feel kinda good. I step closer to Fred and tiptoe to his ear.
- "Well, I'm not someone important" I said in his ear. Then I turned back to the woman with a sweet smile. "I'm his world" I wink at her.
- "What?" She turns to Fred with a frown. "Did you hear her?".
- Before Fred could say anything, I quickly interupts him.
- "I'm his fiancée, you'll only have him for one night. But I'll have him forever" I said.
- Fred look at me in disbelief. Well, I am surprised at myself too, from where did I get this so much courage. And besides, Fred doesn't admit I'm his fiancée so why am I claiming him?
- I'm so stupid.... Well, I can't back down now, I just pray Fred doesn't loose his cool.
- "Now you tell me if I'm someone important to him or not?" I told the woman.
- "Darling, she... What is she talking about?"
- Fred glared daggers at me, if looks could kill, I'd be six feet under by now.
- "Cynthia, don't listen to her. She's just saying nonsense" he paused and look at me, then back at Cynthia. "Look at her, does she look like she worth my time?"
- My heart cracks a little bit. So he thinks Cynthia is better than me because she's beautiful, haven't he heard that beauties got no brain?
- Cynthia... What a silly name.
- No offense to those bearing Cynthia
- "Well, Fred. You...."
- "Shut up!" He cuts me off and lungs at me.
- He takes my neck in a tight grip, choking me.
- "I said don't call me by my first name. It's Mr Russell to you! Now bounce!" He roared and throws me across the room.
- I tried my best to save myself from falling too hard. I hold my neck and take large gulps of air, I stand up and head out. Immediately, my luggage was thrown out.
- My luck is so bad. First I was engaged to him, second, that not been enough, I have to fall in love with him.
- And he's nothing but a BEAST!
- Ah! He calls me ugly, I'll call him beast. Ugly and the beast.
- I dragged my luggage behind me and head to the third room. I open the door and step in, after putting my luggage in a corner, I lay on the bed to sleep.
- 10minutes later.....
- I can't sleep... No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to bring myself to sleep. The noise coming from Fred's room is just too loud.
- It's not just any noise. It's the sound of Fred's bimbo moaning.
- "Oh my God!"
- "Ohio! Yes, baby!"
- "Right there, don't stop Fred!"
- I put the pillows on my ear to stop me from hearing her screams but it doesn't to work.
- I sit up on my bed and sigh frustratingly. How can her voice be this loud, for godsake they're two rooms away. I need to distract myself.
- I leave my room and head downstairs looking for the kitchen. Finally I see the kitchen, I begin to open cabinets one after the other, but I didn't see any food.
- Maybe I should check the fridge. I open the fridge and I saw a cup of pudding. Ah! This would do.
- I take out the pudding and sit in a stool next to the counter and start to devour the pudding. By the time I'm done with the pudding, the noise had died down.
- And besides hear the main door open, I guess miss bimbo is leaving. So quick? I thought she'd stay the night. Well that is none of my business.
- I stand up and head to my room. Getting to my room, I check the time it's 3:40am.
- That beast!
- I better sleep now, or I won't get up early for my test tomorrow. I lay back on my bed and close my eyes and force myself to sleep.
- Next morning.....
- ' Grrrrrrrrrrrh '
- I wake up to the sound of my alarm playing on my phone. I yawned sleepily, I stretched my body and rub my eyes.
- I switch off the alarm and I lay back down to sleep for five more minutes, but I jerk up again from the rapid knocking on my door.
- My eyes move to the wall clock on the wall, 7:00am and my test start by 7:30am. I quickly jump up from the bed, totally ignoring the Knocking in my door.
- I dash into the bathroom and quickly do my business. I changed into a plain white turtle neck and a black leather skirt that reaches my mid thigh, I wore my shoe and rush downstairs.
- Just when I'm about to open the door, a voice stop me.
- "And where do you think you're going?"
- Oh no! Don't tell me you want to start last night's conversation all over again. I slowly turn around with a nervous smile on my face.
- "H-hi" I waved him.
- "I'm hungry" he said plainly.
- I stare at him confused. If he's hungry he should get something to eat.
- "Hmm, the kitchen is that way" I points towards the kitchen.
- He frowns.
- "So?"
- "You should get something to eat instead of telling me you're hungry"
- "Is that so... "
- He smirked and crosses his arms around his chest.
- "I remember you telling Cynthia last night, that you're my world and you'll have me forever" he paused.
- I feel my cheeks warming up as he replays last night's event to me. Hearing him say those words now, made me realize I made a fool out of myself.
- "I see you so badly want to be my woman" he said.
- "What? N-no.... I... You..." I'm short of words.
- How can I think I want him so badly. Yes I fell in love with him at first sight, but it doesn't mean I'm desperate to be with him. I can still fall in love with someone else.
- "Now I want you to do what I expect my woman to do for me"
- What is he planning now? I don't have this time he's wasting. Hold on... I open my mouth when it dawn on me. I quickly cover my chest with my arms and glare at him.
- Don't tell me he wants us to have sex like other couples do.
- "What do you mean?" I asked him with my voice trembling in fear.
- "To cook for me. I'm hungry and I want to eat noodles and eggs"
- Huh! So he only wants me to cook? Why did I not think of this first?.
- "But I can't do that now"
- "Why?"
- "I have test this morning and I'm already running late" I explained.
- He smirked and I can see his eyes twinkling in evil. I can tell his head is running wild of evil thoughts now.
- "You have test! Well that is not my problem"
- " What? "
- " Yeah. My problem right now is food. I'm starving after last night's work" he said.
- I rolled my eyes. Last night's work indeed.
- " But if I don't leave now I'll miss the test"
- "Ugly I told you that is not my problem, according to you, you're my fiancée and it it your duty to take care of my needs."
- " What if I decide to leave without cooking the noodles and eggs"
- He takes slow predatory steps towards me and I involuntarily take one back.
- "If you don't prepare the noodles and eggs, I'll chase you from my penthouse and I'll tell our parents that you want to break the engagement"
- " You wouldn't dare! "
- " Oh, ugly! I would. Imagine how broken hearted your mother will be"
- So he wants to blackmail me.
- Well fine, if it's noodles he wants, he shall have them.
- " Fine, I'll make it"
- "Good girl" he said and reaches out to pat my head, but I dodged his hand.
- " Beast! " I muttered under my breath hoping he wouldn't hear me, but he did.
- "You said?"
- "Nothing!" I said and put on a forced smile.
- Then I drop my backpack in the sofa and head to the kitchen. I'll prepare noodles that he'll never forget in his life.
- He stands by the kitchen door watching my every move, like he doesn't have anything to do.
- After 13minutes or so, I'm finally done. I place the plate of noodles on the table and wait for him to taste it.
- He inhale deeply.
- "Ugly, this smells so good. I bet it's very sweet"
- I give him a tight smile.
- "Yeah!" I said.
- He takes a spoon and put it in his mouth, then he starts chewing. After chewing for some seconds, he spits it out and his face goes red.
- "Holy shit!!" He exclaims and starts looking for water.
- I laughed quietly.
- "Holy shit! Bloody hell!" He wipes his mouth and starts blowing out air. "What the duck is this you cooked? Why is it so god-damned spicy!!"
- "You asked for noodles, right? Well that's it"
- " Then, why is it so spicy and hot?!!" He asked, his eyes bringing out water and I almost, almost pity him.
- " Oh! That is pay back!!" I told him and run out of the dinning room.
- "Ugly come back here! I'm not done with you!" I hear him scream behind me. But I pay him no attention, I need to try and catch up with my test.
- Fred
- My mouth is burning like an erupting volcano. The food is so spicy, and I'm allergic to too much pepper. I see small red spots forming on my skin.
- Pay back?! I'll make her regret what she just did when she gets back.
- I quickly head upstairs to my room to get my medicine..
- T. B. C......
