IVY'S POV
I woke up with sharp pain in my neck and my waist. I didn't know what I had agreed to until he finally broke me. Who would ever imagine losing their virginity the way I did?
I was pleased that he left even before I could wake up and as the name implied, he made sure he left no trace of himself before he did. I entered the bathroom, stepped into the tub, and soaked my whole body in the scented warm water. I lay on my back, thinking of what my fate held until I remembered Kristen. Damn! I haven't heard from her ever since and I had no clue if she got to my apartment safely.
"I have to leave." I pushed past Beatrice who was approaching me with my breakfast.
I ran to the changing room to pick up my clothes only to discover that Beatrice had been following me.
"Hey, is something wrong?" I heard her ask in concern.
"Not really. I was supposed to welcome a friend into my apartment yesterday and since I didn't even call to know if she arrived safely or not, I should just get going to make sure she's okay." I explained while buttoning my shirt.
"She could have slept in a hotel…"
"You don't get it, Beatrice. As Jacob said, this lady is no ordinary lady and she chose to stay at my place until she was ready to move out, why would I reject her?" I looked around the room for a last room check before grabbing my little bag and phone to leave.
"Six missed calls!" I gasped in shock while Beatrice took my phone to check if it was true.
"How come? I was here all night and I didn't hear anything." She sounded confused.
"Don't worry. It's not like you'd have been allowed to do something if you heard it. Tell Jacob that I had an emergency, so I'll be back tomorrow morning."
With that, I sprinted my way through the narrow hallway until I was outside the strip club. I boarded a taxi and tried calling Kristen on the way back. I tried a few more times but got no reply. I just hoped she was okay.
"I'm sorry, Kris. My boss made me stay longer than I should. I wasn't with my phone either, so I couldn't answer any of your calls. I'm so sorry." I ranted as soon as she opened the door.
"It's okay. I only called to know if you'd be coming back home so I'll include your share in the dinner." She smiled making me sigh in relief. Thank goodness I gave her the necessary instructions before I left for the job.
"Ohh… I'm sorry to disappoint." I shrugged before walking into the kitchen to make something to eat 'cause I was starving.
"No need. I made extra." She brought out two plates from the fridge. "This one here is macaroni and cheese while this is here is fruit salad." She announced.
"Jeez, you're so…" I walked up to her and gave her a tight hug. "Thanks a lot, Kris."
"Thanks for letting me stay." She whispered under her breath.
I parted from her only to realize that there was something different about her now, but since our relationship is so much still in the building process, I decided to let it slide.
"Go freshen up while I handle your breakfast." She suggested while putting the macaroni and cheese in the microwave.
"Alright," I told her before exiting the kitchen for my room.
I took another bath and changed into a lighter fabric. On going to the kitchen, she already had everything served. We ate and saw a movie together from the time we were done with our meal till it was almost dark. We ordered pizza online for dinner and continued with our movies until her phone buzzed.
Though the movie was interesting to captured my entire attention, I couldn't deny the look on her face when she looked at her phone.
"What's wrong?" I asked in concern.
"It can't be." She whispered while tears ran down her cheeks.
"What's wrong Kris? You can tell me."
She threw away her phone and ran into my room. I had wanted to go after her but I decided that whatever made her lose her composure before me was worth making me give her some space. After about thirty minutes of lying on the couch wondering what had happened and the reason why she decided to stay in my apartment, the doorbell rang. I went to get it and as I was expecting, it was the pizza vendor. I signed where necessary and thanked him before shutting the door after he left.
I went to my room and kept her share on the small table behind my bed.
"You must be wondering why I'm staying at your apartment, Ivy." She sighed with boiling rage, making me turn my attention from the door back to her.
"I would have asked at the right time." I shrugged and proceeded to sit on the bed close to her.
"I've been with my boyfriend for almost five years now and thought of truth, I forced my way into his life, and he has been acting very strange. He broke up with me in fact and though the clip is blurred, I think he found someone else already!" She cried. "His mum was always fond of this lady and I think she is the one trying to take my place, Ivy. I came to take what belongs to me at all costs. He is mine and no one else can have him!" She roared.
"What clip was that?" I asked trying to put the piece of information together.
"A s*x clip." She blurted in frustration leaving me stunned.
