Bad Romance

Chapter Seven Ronnie (2 Days Before The Ball)

I grabbed two cups and placed them on the counter, I felt like a bad friend here she is upset that she hasn't heard from him all day how is she going to feel when she finds out? "Yeah it must have escaped my mind" I said even though it wasn't a lie so much has happened. "Yeah it happens so how have the preparations been coming along?" Addie asked still sitting on the counter swinging her feet, we talked about everything I had done and everything I needed to be done for the ball drank a cup of coffee each and went to bed.

When I walked into my room, Mark was all sprawled out on my bed in just his underwear. I loved looking at him and seeing all of his tattoos that covered his back. I went to my closet and changed into my pajamas, then went to the bed, I had to wake him to tell him to move over and when I did, he slid over. I climbed into bed as he wrapped his arms around me. I felt safe in his arms he held me to his chest, planted a kiss on the back of my neck, and we fell asleep together.

The next morning, I was awoken by loud rock music. It jumped me out of my sleep "ugh Mark make it stop" I groaned. Mark rolled over and dug through his pants on the floor until he found his phone.

"Hello?" I rolled onto my side and pulled the covers over my head. "yeah, yeah I'll be there in a few hours man" he said then hung up and rolled over to me and wrapped me up in his arms "I gotta get going beautiful" I shook my head, and he laughed "well I will be back tonight if you want" I nodded and rolled over to him, he kissed me strong and passionately. "I don't know when i will be back from the event tonight, so I'll message you" I said still groggy from the excessive sun blazing into the room. I wrapped myself around him, pulling him closer and closer to me, taking control of the kiss, then I got on top of him with both of my hands on the sides of his face and my hair covering us as each kiss became more and more frantic, he pushed me off of him.

He then ripped my panties off and slammed into me. I grabbed my headboard as he slammed into me hard, making the bed move as he pounded me into the mattress. I tried to muffle the screams of pleasure that wanted to leave my lips, but as I reached my peak, I let out a moan, he kissed me softly, then got up and started to get dressed.

"I really got to go babe, I hate to run out like this, but I still got to change my clothes" I was still in amazement and breathing heavily, he walked over and kissed me once again. " bye babe" he said as he walked out. I rolled over and went back to sleep. A few hours later, Addie walked in and jumped on the bed.

"Ronnie coffee's ready" at the mention of coffee, I jumped out of bed and walked into the kitchen with her. We were sitting at the island in the kitchen together drinking coffee "so, where did Mark go in such a hurry?" I shrugged "I don't know probably to work" I never liked to pry into Mark's life or most of my boyfriends lives I had no right to be a jealous girlfriend or even get mad Addie already knew this.

"True, so what time do you have to be at the reception hall?" I shrugged. "I don't know I have to drop by work to make sure everything's all set from last night's issues, and then I have to go see Alex and talk to him about working tomorrow night then I have to make sure everything, is prepped and decorations are set up right" I took a sip of my coffee and looked at the clock on the wall it was only 7 am,

" I just need to go over and help Mike with his outfit he still needs to pick out a mask then I will be right over to help" I saw her eyes light up at the mention of Mike. I sighed "Addie? What if-" before I could say anything there was a commotion outside.

I sat up with Addie on my heels as we walked outside. Alex was outside arguing with Mark I looked at Addie, and she just put her hand on my shoulder. "so what are you gonna do?" I shut the door and put my head in my hands "Ronnie!" I heard Alex pounding on the door Addie looked at me "Ronnie he deserves the truth" she said walking to her room and shutting the door "gee thanks for the support" I yelled after her "you got this I believe in you does that help?" she responded.

But I knew it wasn't her mess and that she is friends with Alex and his brother Dean. I sighed as I opened the door. Alex was holding flowers and glaring at me, "Who was that guy out there Ronnie?" he said, pointing at the door. "Look Alex I think you should come inside and sit down first" as I said that he threw the flowers on the ground "are you f*****g him Ronnie? are my feelings a game to you?" he looked like he was almost about to cry and I stood there not knowing what to say he walked over to me and placed his hands on my shoulders.His face full of hurt as his eyes barred into mine I felt so bad for causing him pain.

"Did you know that I loved you?" he dropped his hands off my shoulders and stopped looking at me. He probably saw the shock all over my face at his sudden love confession. "Alex, we've always had this kind of relationship" I tried, but he just looked crestfallen. "Don't I loved you Veronica you were the love of my life, I have always loved you in the past you may have thought we just used one another but not me" he wouldn't look at me or allow me to say anything not that I even had anything to sat to any of that, but he just walked out and slammed the door.

Addie must of heard the door slam because she came out of her room and hugged me "I told you, you should have told him years ago". I nodded at her words. She was right. Instead of being selfish, I should have let him go. There was a time when I let Alex go. He got married and even had a baby with that woman, but when she died, and he became a single father, I thought I was doing the right thing by being there for him. But at some point, we went back to using one another. He used me for years to get over the loss of his wife. I had no idea that he would eventually fall for me. "Addie, I'm a bad person", I said, as tears started to sting my eyes. Addie hugged me tightly. "Ronnie, you just need to stop doing this, you may have told Mark about it, but what about the rest of them? What are you going to do if any of the others start to love you?"
