Desire in the Demon's Den

Angelica’s POV  ‘I’m so excited you’re finally coming back home. I’ve missed you.’ “I missed you too Bri. Just wish I was coming back home for a good reason.” ‘I get that but hey I’m closer and can always come over to spend time with you and talk it all out....that is when you’re ready to talk about it.’ I have been driving for 3 hours and decided since I was getting closer to home I would call my best friend since I was 5. We lived on the same street growing up and then both ended up going to the same boarding school when our parents died and then going to the same college. She was older than me by 2 years, so she had already graduated college and was a business owner in our hometown. While I still had 2 more years of college left and wasn’t really wanting to finish but knew my brother wouldn’t let that me drop out. ‘You still there?’ “Sorry.” ‘You were lost in thought again weren’t you?’ “Yeah.” She let out a sigh ‘How far out are you?’ “About 20 minutes.” ‘Come by the shop. I want to see you.’ “It would be nice to see a friendly face.” ‘Does your brother know you’re coming home?’ “No. Tried calling twice and texted him three times, but he never responded.” ‘Well, he just walked in with his friends, and they just ordered dinner so you should come by and surprise him.’ “Okay, I’ll be there shortly.” ‘Okay let me know when you get here so I can sneak you in the back to really surprise him.’ “Okay I’ll call you when I get there.” ‘See you soon.’ I hung up the call and was really looking forward to seeing my best friend. Last time I saw her was over winter break when she came to spend time with me. I tried reaching out to my brother and he didn’t reply, which was odd. I haven’t seen or heard from him in almost a year. He is the only family I have left and he practically raised me, yet he seems to have cut me off. Hopefully he will explain himself when I see him. I pulled into the parking lot of her restaurant her parents left for her. I sent her a text saying I was here. I got out of my car with my purse and walked closer to the restaurant I could see my brother sitting down with a woman and 3 other guys I’d never met before. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see the blonde and brown streaked hair of Briana. “Omg girl!” I flung myself at her and she hugged me then started jumping up and down. She pulled back “It’s so good to see you. You okay? You look different? Though it’s a good different.” “Lot happened after you left college. I started to work out more after you left so I got more in shape. Lost about 30 pounds.” I was a petite chubby girl. I was 5ft and I used to be150lbs, so I really needed to lose some weight. So now I weigh 120 and I was all muscle with a perky butt and still big boobs that completely fill out a 34DDD. The biggest thing for me was I was proud and happy with my body unlike before. One thing that was different was I wore old and comfortable clothes unlike before when I would wear cute clothes. “Wow congratulations.” She beamed at me. “You look amazing. I’m jealous. I need to get back in shape.” “Well, I can let you know when I find a good gym. Even though you don’t need it.” “I just want to feel healthier.” “Fair enough.” “Follow me this way.” She motioned for me to follow her. She took me in the back and introduced me to all her employees since they will most likely see me again now that I’m back in town. She opened the kitchen door and pointed out my brothers table. “Who are the others sitting with him?” I asked hoping she would know. “They’ve been in here before and I said hi. The guys are his old friends from high school they work together now, and the girl is your brothers girlfriend. I hate the bitch.” I raised an eyebrow at her “She is fake and a b***h in general.” “Great.” I rolled my eyes, “okay, thank you.” I walked over to my brother and covered his eyes “Guess who?” I sang out sweetly. “What are you doing here?” He asked in a flat tone. “Nice to see you to brother.” I walked to his side just to look at my brother who was pissed. “If you ever picked up your phone you would know what I’m doing here.” “What are you talking about? You’ve never called or texted me.” He asked looking really confused. “Baby who is this?” the barbie looking girl sitting next to my brother asked. “This is my little sister Angie.” He told her. “Oh.” She said looking me up and down. “Hi, I’m Angelica only my brother can call me Angie. Who are you?” “Sis be nice this is my girlfriend.” He scolded me. “Okay so you have a barbie for a girlfriend. Good for you.” I said with sarcasm. I saw my brothers phone on the table and grabbed it. “Sis give that back.” He said getting up. I looked through the phone and didn’t see my number or contact. I looked in the blocked file and found my number there. “Do you hate me so much that you blocked my number?” I asked him with tears in my eyes. “What are you talking about I never blocked you?” I looked at his girlfriend who was smirking. “You didn’t but that fake blonde did.” I motioned to her. “b***h what did you just call me?” She got up. “I don’t know your name, so I got creative.” I gave her a fake smile. My brother grabbed his phone from me and looked at it. Then looked at his girl “GET THE f**k OUT!” “What? Baby why?” She pleaded. “NO ONE BLOCKS MY SISTER FROM ME! WE’RE OVER! GET OUT!” She ran out crying which no one seemed to care. “Sorry sis I really didn’t know.” He said giving me a hug. “Dang little Angie grew up and got some style.” “Not the same little Angie we knew... she’s now a woman.” “You sure did grow up.” I turned to the table of men “Who are all of you and why are you talking about me like you know me?” “We do know you.”
