In love with a she- devil

Chapter 3

"I did my check on her," Alfred admits. He had not told his brother. Lucas was going to discourage him and try to make him feel bad and he wouldn't like that.

"You did what?"

"A check"

"Why? How? When? How come I didn't know about it? I was with you all through"

"I kept it away from you so that's why you didn't know"

Lucas runs his hand through his mussed hair staring at Elizabeth. There was no denying that Elizabeth was a beautiful woman even though she wore over-stated clothes and loved to walk around in corporate clothes, she was still so beautiful. But that wasn't just enough reason for his brother to be crazy about her. She wasn't the first woman he had fallen in love with but none of them has made him go this crazy. Elizabeth was the only woman who wasn't chasing after him, the rest of them chased after him which often ended up in Alfred eventually dating them till he got bored. The last one was a model who was desperate to be Mrs. Wellington. She even bought herself an engagement ring and so Alfred had to break up with her.

"She is beautiful, I get it but that's not enough for you –"

"And sexy '' Alfred added, boorishly cutting him off. He always wondered what was hidden under those sweaters she often wore, the only time he had gotten a chance to see the hollow between her breasts was during the last holiday season party her company had hosted, he had gotten an invite by her boss, David. Elizabeth was wearing a red long gown that revealed a little too much. Alfred didn't really like that gown since it made a lot of men stare at her as well. He wanted to be the only one who gets to see what's underneath her dress and in between her legs.

"Yeah she is but you should stay away from her except you want to get a nose bleed again" Lucas chuckled at the memory of Matilda hitting his nose with her elbow when he tried talking to Elizabeth during that party.

"That's not going to happen again and she apologized"

"Because you threatened to sue"

"I still have to give it my best shot, she's in my club you know and so she has to play nice, otherwise I will just throw her out"

Lucas was already bored of the conversation, his brother would never be able to throw Matilda out of his club, that would make Elizabeth furious and she might even get a restraining order against him.

"Break a leg brother"

"Her friend is here, you know"

"Goodluck" He sips his drink watching his brother as he departs. He had to also admit that Matilda was beautiful but those two women may not appear in front of the cover of magazines like the models he had dated but they were so full of themselves, especially Matilda.

As Matilda takes a sip of her drink, her eyes fall on Alfred coming their way and she rolls her eyes.

"Here comes the i***t of the century again"

Elizabeth turns around only to see Alfred standing right behind her and she stands up, attempting to stand up made her stagger backward, almost falling to the ground when Alfred held her.

"Eli"

"I told you is Elizabeth"

"I prefer Eli"

"Let's go Matilda" Elizabeth was disgusted by the mere sight of him. Jack had warned her to stay away from Alfred and had let that Into her head. Alfred was a bad man who became a billionaire by getting involved in shady deals, that was what Jack had told her.

"We are here to drink so can you please leave us alone and beat it. You obviously aren't welcomed here"

"I only came over to buy you ladies a drink"

"Thanks but I'm sure we came along with our credit card so get lost, you jerk" Matilda fires back

"I didn't come here to pick a fight with you ladies"

"I saw you from upstairs and I thought –"

"That we are cheap and horny" Elizabeth was quick to cut him off.

She also knows that he was just like Jack Jefferson or even worse. He was one of those men who loves to chase women in tight skimpy outfits, that was probably what he did after office hours.

"You are not cheap Elizabeth"

"It's good you know you are not getting in between my legs"

"What are you saying Eli?"

Matilda held the urge to laugh, the alcohol was definitely talking and not her best friend.

"You heard me, you are not getting into my pants"

"I'm not trying to get into your pant"

"Then where are you trying to get?" Elizabeth leans against the stool

"I think you should go home Eli, you've had enough to drink" Alfred tries to touch her but she pushes him away.

"Don't touch me"

"I'm sorry" Alfred didn't know what else to say. Matilda wasn't looking like she was going to try and stop her from getting drunk. She was staring at them as if she was enjoying watching them spar.

"You should be stopping her" Alfred glanced at Matilda. "She's going to get herself drunk before the night is over"

"And I'm sober to drive"

"She is your friend, you already know Elizabeth doesn't drink, why did you let her drink?"

"Hello… is her birthday"

"Really? We should be celebrating then in an actual place and not in the club"

"What is your problem? Eli is my friend and not yours"

"That doesn't mean you should bring her to a club!" He retorts.

Alfred was furious but he had to control himself from strangling the annoying woman for bringing Elizabeth to a club.

"You should leave"

Matilda scoffed, she couldn't believe he wanted her to leave with Elizabeth when they had not even hit the dance floor.

"Why don't you mind your own business?"

When Alfred tried to open his mouth to say something, Elizabeth threw her drink at his face. Matilda's eyes widened.

Elizabeth wasn't the kind of woman to be provoked when she was in a bad mood but neither was Alfred the kind of man who would back out from getting what he wants.

"You should have left when I asked nicely" With that, he lifted Elizabeth up to his shoulders while she screamed out for him to put her down but before Matilda could say a word, he was already walking away.
