Chapter 6

  • BRIE'S POV
  • I bang my head in frustration against the headrest as the car drives out of the mansion.
  • "Take me to a club" I bark at the driver. Alright I know I fucked up big timez but that was so fuckin embarrassing!. Gary kissing that dirty looking bitch in my presence. I don't seem to know her, she definitely ain't a celebrity, her clothes looks so cheap. I pressed a button on the armrest as it revealed a cabinet full of drinks. What I need now is lots of drinks, music and a good d i c k at the club. For f u c k sake I divorced Brian because I thought Gary had no one!. I'm certain I can get him back, Gary had never been able to resist me, and so long as I'm Brie, he'd never be.
  • LESLEY PERKINS' POV
  • Stacy had literally freaked out when I told her of the kiss with Gary. I mean who wouldn't?, It's Gary Gauthier we're talking about.
  • "Jeez.... how did it feel like Lesley.... does his lips taste of dollars?. She mused and I roll my eyes dramatically
  • "For f u c k sake Stacy he did it not because he wanted to but to get rid of that lady." I palm my cheeks.
  • Stacy smirked. "Then why did you return the kiss? why did he want to kiss you again huh?." I shook my head and stand, heading to the kitchen. Stacy appeared at the door way.
  • "That because you both enjoyed the kiss Lesley. and who wouldn't kill to have you in bed Lesley. You've got the most sexiest body ever.."
  • "Stacy!." I reprimanded her.
  • "C'mon Les, I'm certain you always drool at him whenever you can, he's a total hottie." She taunts. I scoffed as I dropped my plate into the dishwasher.
  • "You lie cos I haven't seen him around since then."
  • "Well, that explains a lot. Could be his scared of seeing you cos he's got a thing for you." I eyed her In exasperation.
  • I walked out of the kitchen and sat on the couch I grabbed the controller and began to tune endlessly.
  • "Trust me Lesley, every guy wants to have you to their self... " I wind up the volume as Stacy blabbered on and on. I can't seem to think straight after that kiss scenario two days ago, to worsen it Stacy reminds me all the time about it. I just want to believe he did it out of impulse. Just to scare away the lady that day. But why did he stare at me again like he wanted to kiss me.... Arrgh!... I groan in frustration. I hope it never repeats itself.
  • GARY GAUTHIER'S POV
  • I sat at my table tapping endlessly on it and staring at my laptop. I can't just seem to concentrate. Not since that day.... not after I kissed Hazel's Nanny. And I want more of that. I know whats good and everyone loves good stuffs.
  • She is on the shy side and ever since that kiss incident she has been avoiding me like a plague. Fuck!, Concentrate Gary. I reprimanded myself as I went back to work. Few moments later I'm thinking of her again. Frustrated, I logged in my password for the CCTV footings. I clicked the one for Hazel's apartment.
  • There she was.... playing chess with Hazel and laughing. I zoomed in to take a better view of her. Fuck!. I ran my hand through my hair as I watched them play. She looked so beautiful. Not like Brie who looks so fake. I scoff in annoyance and logged out of the footage. I shut my laptop and walked out of the office.
  • I took the lift for Hazel's apartment and walked into her living room. She had her back to me. Hazel eyes lit up in excitement on seeing me.
  • "Dad!"She grins as she runs over to meet me. I bent to her height as I smoothen her hair.
  • "Hey angel, how you doing?" I pecked her lightly. Lesley turned and on seeing me became nervous.
  • "With Lesley around, I'm always fine dad".
  • "Hmm..... so she's a good nanny right?" I ask her as I stand up to sit on the couch.
  • "She's great dad, and she I'm sure she'd make a good girlfriend." Hazel says and smirked. I raised my brows as the nanny gets off the floor, her cheeks has gone red courtesy of Hazel's sharp tongue.
  • "Hazel.... could I borrow your nanny for a couple of minutes." I ask as I glanced at her standing and looking everywhere except at me. Shy brunette.
  • "Sure Gary.... you could borrow her as long as you want." She winked as she went out of the living room. I cleared my lungs and rake my hand at my hair . I always have control over myself, why am acting so dumb around her.
  • "Miss Perkins?." She raised her eyes then to meet me.
  • "What happened the other day."
  • "It's okay Mr Gauthier, I understood the situation perfectly." I looked at her with a huge smirk on my face I stand up as I walk towards her.
  • "What situation." I say as i got to where she was. She stiffened. I love the fact that I make her nervous.
  • "Umm..... you a-sked me to play along, so definitely I knew you were trying to cover up for something." She says.
  • I look at her as she moves her lips.... I was barely listening to her. This was not me.... I mean I could get a thousand ladies to kiss me but why does hers looks and taste different.
  • "What if I said I enjoyed every bit of the kiss?" I say smoothly. Heat crawls up her cheeks nervously.
  • Right now what I want to do was kiss her. I leaned in and she took a step back nervously.
  • "Umm, I'm sorry Mr Gauthier, I allowed you do that cos it was for a reason. I wouldn't want that... to repeat itself." She voiced out. I could see she looks scared and I wonder why. I mentally punched myself in embarrassment. Godammit.
  • "
  • "Hazel..... I'm done with her" I say as I stuck my hands in my pants pocket and walked out of the room. Why do I have a feeling that this wasn't the end?
  • LESLEY PERKINS' POV
  • I washed my face as I stare at my self through the mirror. What the fuck is wrong with me. why have I let down my guard, how can I allow Gary Gauthier to get to me this way?. Why do I feel different whenever I'm around him?. I packed my hair as so many questions brainstormed my mind. I dab my face with a napkin as his words play over and over.
  • *What if say I enjoyed every bit of the kiss we shared the last time*
  • I groaned internally. What does he mean by that?!. I walked out of the ensuite. Hazel was at her make up table.
  • "Lesley could you help me braid my hair". She asks
  • "Sure Hazel." I go over to where she was sitted and started braiding her hair.
  • "Dad says he's travelling to Atlanta next week." I pause and stare at Hazel through the mirror.
  • "A- Atlanta?" I stutter.
  • "Yeah, it's an anniversary celebration." She continues. I finished braiding her hair and went over to her bed to seat. As a million thoughts run through my mind. Atlanta holds so many memories- memories I'm not ready to dig out.
  • "Says he's gonna stay for a week." I was barely listening to Hazel.
  • "Lesley?." She calls when she notices am not listening to her.
  • "Huh?" I drifted back to consciousness.
  • "Let's go for a walk in the garden". I nod as she stands up.
  • "We could have a little picnic there too right?.
  • "Huh.... sure yes Hazel. Let's go see what we have." I say as we heed out of the room.
  • GARY GAUTHIER'S POV
  • "Mum am not nineteen!." I say as I sat on the bed.
  • "The more reason you should act like a man of your age Gary." I let out a ragged breath.
  • "Mom you aren't asking me to do what I don't want right?".
  • "No Gary.... I'm telling you to do what is right and what is required of you. For God sake can't you act like Francis". I stand up and walk over to the cabinet pouring myself a glass of drink.
  • "When do you plan on moving on with your life Gary." She nags. I scoff in annoyance.
  • "I already did mom."
  • "And you think not getting a girl to settle down is a definition of moving on with your life right?"
  • "I didn't see the good it did to me mum. A little girl whose mother is fuckin every available dick in carlifornia." I blurt.
  • There was a pause.
  • "Gary, that doesn't mean you ain't gonna settle down. Hazel can't grow up without care for her parents Gary."
  • "I give her everything she needs mom she would be fine."
  • "But she's still lacking the care of a woman Gary.... you're bringing a girl along for the anniversary and it's final." She says and hung up.
  • Fuck!... I so hate my life. Can't I have the decency of living my life the way I want it. I walked towards the glass walls as I look at the city below. Outside this walls is the stupid press trying to make my life miserable.
  • Inside this walls is my mom nagging and lecturing me on how to live my life. Why do I have to behave like my brother. We're two different persons with different personalities. I don't need to act like anyone. It's so fucking annoying. Going out to anniversary against my will.... and taking a date along. So much for being the first son. I can't seem to know any decent girl to take along. All I have is slutty bitches trying to have a relationship with me, like I fuckin need that. I drained the last of my cup and head out.... all I need now is a break from all this.
  • LESLEY PERKINS' POV
  • "Favourite musician?" I ask Hazel.
  • "Nicky M, and cardi B"
  • "Favourite meal?"
  • "Chicken sauce"
  • "Favourite color"
  • "Red." She replies. We're seated at the garden having a little picnic, or more like Hazel having the picnic cos she's been dealing with the pancakes and buttermilk we brought. Funnily enough I'm thinking of Gary, I haven't seen him in a while and I don't know why it bothers me. I mean, he can't just kiss me any time he wishes and act like it's nothing.
  • Hazel stretches flat on the picnic mat, facing upwards and staring at the sky. I froze when someone snaked his hand around my waist. My heart skips a thousand times, my breath quickened, and my skin pores opened as he leaned in slightly brushing my ear with his lips.
  • "Hey Lesley". He mutters against my skin.
