Clary’s P.O.V
I am on my way driving to Leon’s company in order to surprise him . I even got him his favorite food and wine .
I arrived and went straight to his office .But when I was at his office and about to go in , his secretary told me that I couldn’t come in .
“Why not ?“I asked her.
“No specific reason , but I need to tell him first . Because uh.... um he has a meeting “she said hesitantly.
" I know for a fact that he doesn’t have a meeting now and I’m going in whether you like it or not” I said as I opened the door .
I saw Leon with a girl sitting on his lap kissing him while his hands were roaming her body and they were both shirtless . I gasped because of my disappointment and shock . Leon had now pushed her away as soon as he saw him .
“Clary ,please let...” He started to tell me but I interrupted him with an angry look.
“Oh I’m SO SORRY . It’s my bad , I shouldn’t come into my fake fiance’s office without knocking , but don’t mind me. Just keep going and doing what you were doing . I will leave immediately ”, I said and started to turn around to leave, but then I remembered the food and wine, so I turned back again and said “Oh silly me , I was going to forget the food . Here you can have it , both of you . I just got it from Leon’s favorite restaurant to come congratulate and celebrate his project with him . But no problem , apparently a slut can do that too ” I threw the food on the nearby couch and then started leaving.
“Clary , just listen to me . Wait ! Don’t leave ” he says as he follows me out, but I move very fast so he couldn’t catch up with me.
On my way home I thought about all that happened and why I feel cheated even though we aren’t engaged for real . IDK . But at least he should respect me for the sake of our friendship.
I don’t care right now , I just want to stop feeling these feelings and somehow forget . So I decided to call Malia and Alexis and ask them to go out with me .
So when I arrive at the house , I take out my phone and call Malia .
" Hey Mal ”I said when she picked up.
" Hey Clary . We missed you so much ”, Alexis said.
" I missed you too, guys “, I said. ” How about we going out tonight? Because I’m really depressed and want to get drunk tonight ”
" wait a minute ”, Mal said and hung up, then after a few minutes, she called using Facetime .
I smile as soon as I see both of them.
“What’s wrong, Clary ?” Alexis said.
" Nothing like the usual ”I said. ” Anyway, are we having a girls’ night out or not ?”
“yes definitely . I like going out too much to say no “, Mal says, and I laugh at her response.
“OK, then I will be ready by 7. You come pick me up ”, I said" Oh and take an uber because we are getting drunk tonight. ”
" ok see you ”
“OK bye ”I said and hung up.
I went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready . The shower took me 30 minutes . After I got out of the shower, I went to my closet to find something to wear . I decided on wearing a backless short blue dress with spaghetti straps and silver heels .
While I was getting dressed, Leon came up to my bedroom and knocked on the door.
“Clary . Are you in there ? Can you please let me in so we can talk? Just let me explain what happened ” he said.
“No, Leon, I’m busy right now “I said, and he left, but I could hear him downstairs .
After I was dressed, I started doing my makeup and hair .
By the time I finished, it was already 6:50, so I texted them on our group chat.
Me: hey guys, where are you ? I’m ready
Lexi: We are on our way .
Mal : Yes, we will be at your house in five minutes.
Me : OK just send me a text when you arrive
I checked myself in the mirror for the last time and then opened my door and went downstairs . Only to find Leon sitting on the couch waiting for me . So I ignore him and start going towards the door .But he stops me and stands in front of me, staring at me and clearly checking me out and his eyes raking my body .
" Excuse me . Can you let me pass ?” I asked.
" Clary just hear me out first . I did....” he started, but I interrupted him.
" No, Leon, I don’t want to know . Also, you don’t owe me an explanation and I didn’t ask you for one . You know why ? Because this is a f*****g fake and arranged marriage . I don’t care about you and you don’t care about me either. This is all just a show . I don’t really care what you do with your life or who you shove your tongue into . So if there isn’t anything else, can I go please ?” I said and he looked angry at me.
“Yes, actually there is one thing, ” he said as he clenched his jaw.
"What is it ?” I asked him, raising my eyebrows.
"Well, you can’t go out like that ” he said as he pointed at my dress.
“What’s wrong with me ?”
" you look like a w***e who wants to be f****d in that dress . So you can’t go out like that because the paparazzi may see you and take a picture of you, then my reputation will be bad because my fiancee is a w***e “, he said, and I was shocked.
" Don’t worry so much about your reputation . Everyone already knows you like sluts and whores . Even the paparazzi say that you’re a manwhore . So I guess I know where you are coming from . I mean if I were you, I’d feel insecure too”, I said, and went out the front door to find they had already arrived and waiting for me.
THANK GOD
I get inside the uber and as soon as I get in, Lexi hugs me.
" I missed you too ” I said while laughing, but they can tell it was not my usual laugh.
“What happened, Clary ?“Malia asked.
“Nothing, just the usual jerk, Leon ”, I said as I rolled my eyes, ” Anyway, how do I look ?”
" You look amazing and sexy as hell !“Lexi said and I laughed.
“Well, tell that to Leon . ”
“Why ? What did he tell you ?” Lexi asked.
" Well, he thinks I look like a w***e ”I said casually.
“Damn tell us what happened from the beginning “Lexi said.
So, during our time in the car, I will tell you what happened.
When we get to the club , Malia walks over to the bodyguard and tells him something and he immediately lets us in . When we got in , we walked straight to the bar, but after a few shots, they both went to the dance floor . And now I’m sitting alone at the bar .Then a guy approaches me and sits right besides me .
" Hi . Can I get you a drink ...?“he asked, waiting for my name.
“My name is Clary . ”
“Hi Clary . I’m Cole ” he said while extending his hand for me to shake .So I extended my hand as well and shook it .“Now can I get you a drink? You seem like a margarita kind of girl, am I right ?”
“Yes ”I said, laughing, and then he noticed the ring on my finger.
" You engaged ?“he asked
". It's not really a long story. ”
" Well, we have all night ” he said as he smiled at me.
" Are you trying to hook up with me ? Because I’m not that type of girl ”
" Don’t worry about that because I’m gay ” he said.
"Well, in that case, get ready to hear the weirdest story of your life ”I said.
