FEELING OF BETRAYAL

CHAPTER-1 The Blackmail

Henry’s POV:

I have been waiting here for 35 damn minutes and I still don’t find Tessa here. God how long?  My order is already of my favourite Black coffee is in front of me but I still don’t find the urge to drink this. What could be the matter? Why did Tessa want to meet me all of a sudden? If only she could tell me what was going on.

“Henry! You have been zoning out lately. I called you thrice now!” Tessa yelled. I looked up and saw her smiling. What is the matter that makes her smile so much.

“Hey Tessa! I apologize I didn’t notice you walking into the café.” I told her truthfully. She sat down opposite me and still has the smile on. I hope it’s some good news on my lady love.

“Henry I called you to meet and talk to you. If you constantly zone out like this, how on earth would I be able to tell you as to what I called you for?” Tessa gave me a ‘Don’t – you-want-to-know’ look.

“I am sorry. Yes go on with what you want to tell me. I am very eager to know what makes you so happy that you’re smiling. Is it something about my lady?” I asked her getting rid of my patience.

“Yes it is something about your lady love, I mean my sister! I just had a word with her before I met you. But before I tell you what it is let me order my drink.” Tessa called the waitress of the café and ordered herself a lemonade & donut.

‘I am so losing my patience seeing her ordering and not telling me what the news is! How long do I have to act lovey dovey to her for her to blurt out the freaking news?’

‘When have you ever been patient?’ My conscience kicks in at the right time to mock me and irritate the s**t out of me.

‘I have been enough patient to make my lady love fall for me and I cannot tolerate being more patient with Tessa.’ And here she is done ordering and starts again!

“Yes Henry to continue what I was saying, uhm.. It’s actually not as good as you may think it is but it is our first step to success.” Tessa told me.

“Tessa will you please spit out the news you have first . I am done being patient with you.” I spat to her.

“Looks like someone is impatient to know about their love .” Tessa mocks me.

‘Why on earth is she agonizing me and bloody hell I need to know what she has inside her tiny brain.’ I thought.

“Yes Tessa. I am impatient and want to know what you have here for me so that I can relax as much are relaxed.” I told her.

“Hmm, Okay so I just wanted to let you know Fiona is 90% convinced to get into this relationship with you but..” Oh god what is with the buts today? Can she just spit it out fully?

“Yes Tessa, I am listening. But what? “ I asked trying to be cool and patient.

“But I have to brainwash her more and do a bit more of convincing so that she will say okay to you but for that you will have to do something which will make her think about you and accept you.” Tessa Said.

“What do I have to do? Do you expect me to go behind her Ex-love and make him cheat on her or something? Don’t tell me stupid ideas as such because I am not going to do that.” I wonder what she thinks of herself to ask me for help.

“No Henry, you just need to message her all the time, you know act as a good friend who means the world for her and as though you don’t know I am helping you in pairing up you two. See what she shares with you and let me know so that I can brainwash her further in the right direction. It is easy you know. It is a win-win situation for both of us.” Tessa has a point here. Maybe I should just try it out?

“Henry stop thinking and just help me pairing up the two of you. Do you have her contact number? ” She whined.

“Okay Tessa. I will chat with her. And yes I have her number. “ I replied.

“Okay then let me go home now by the time my parents get back and find out she is sobbing. Let me know after you chat. Bye Henry.”

“Bye Tessa.” Holy cows I never thought she would be able to convince Fiona so quickly. Wonder what she said about me to convince her.

Fiona’s POV:

It is already 1 hour since Tessa left and she will be home anytime now. Why on earth should I go through this process of breaking up and getting committed to a freaking Billionaire’s son just because he has money and he is Tessa’s friend? He may look good but I haven’t even seen him and what is the point of getting into a relationship with him? What if he betrays me? 

Oh lord firstly, why should I even think of getting into a relationship with him? I know I have no option than to do this. Why should she take my phone with her. I need to tell Watson this, how will he help me anyways? It has not even been a year that I have been in a relationship with him but I still have to go through this breakup just because of Tessa and her freaking friend. How I wish someone could save me!

“Hey Fiona! I am back. So what have you decided?” Tessa asks me as though she has given me an option to fight through this.

“Tessa I really think you should not force me to get” before I could finish I feel my cheek burning, “WHAT. THE. HELL. Did you just slap me?” I gritted my teeth trying to control my pain and anger.

“One more word you tell me about you and your stupid boyfriend of yours you will get into deep trouble Fiona. Just remember I am not as patient as you think and I still am doing a good deed to you by making you break up with your useless boyfriend.   And don’t you grit your teeth with me and you will land with another slap on your face.” Tessa yells not bothered about how I am crying due to the slap and pain.

“Please Tessa leave me alone for some time and please give me my phone. I need to borrow the exam schedule from Sam.” I told her in between my sobs.

“I will give you your phone but don’t think you can talk to Watson or delete your conversations and pictures with him because I have a backup of everything. Also let me tell you if you try telling mom and dad about what is happening then you will be jailed inside as I know how to turn the table back to you.” Tessa blackmailed me again. Atleast I can get my phone back and let Sam know about this.
