A Seat in His Heart

Chapter 11 - A Queen and a Pawn.

[Pete]

I went over to Kyle's apartment after calling him for ages, he was not here and he had his phone switched off too. I do not know why he disappeared all of a sudden but at the same time Goldie was missing too. I had a bad feeling Kyle was up to no good. I dialed Gold's number and she picked up, she told me she was with Kyle. I felt my blood boil, why was I getting angry, I should not be. I set off to the restaurant she had mentioned. When I saw the close proximity of their sitting position, I lost my mind. This was the first time I have ever fought with Kyle and it is over a girl. How funny, I was the one who had always said that men who fought over women are p*****s, yet I became one.

After Goldie passed out, it dawned on me that I had crossed the line I shouldn't have. I was definitely sure she hated me now in totality. If Kyle was up to no good, he would not go out of his way to call Michael. He had often dreaded contacts with Michael to prove a point to his father, that he can live without his aid. I followed them to the hospital in my Bentley which was parked at a safe distance, I named it the villain. Kyle and I thought it would be nice to go through the university without showing off or exposing who we really were. However we tried, there must always be something that would warrant us to fall back to our True form, heirs. Kyle is the only legal heir to the Decagon group of companies, a Conglomerate with chains of stand-alone companies in its name all around the world. I on the other hand remain the only heir to SplashTube, a company with numerous research laboratories and institutions under it. We both have our reasons for choosing that path, for me it was like an experiment. living in disguise has it's good perks but that day was an absolute exception, and I do not regret it a single bit, I am sure Kyle doesn't either. Anything for a girl like Gold.

When I reached the hospital Kyle was holding her hand, what part of do not touch Goldie does he not understand? I was starting to suspect that the dinner had more meaning to it. With the adrenaline rush, we ended up exchanging words, almost going into yet another fist fight. Gold passed out the second time and I was broken. The doctor handed me to security and I don't know what Gold was thinking of me, I had never been that conscious about what anyone thought of me, not even my parents. I left the premises with my hopes all dampened. I lost my queen before I even got the bloody throne.

I sent my villain back to his hideout and took the public bus home. I met Trice seated on the stairs by the sidewalk. She caught me off guard with a hug and I hugged her back quite normally. She looked nervous and emotionally battered which had never been the case since I first met her. I led her into my apartment. This was the first time she was here, as I keep girls away from my place unless I declare them special. I needed no one cramping up the space before my queen got to show up. If I ever needed to have fun and the s*x, I do that out in the numerous hotels around town so right now Trice was the only random girl who stepped into my apartment. I offered her a seat in the living room and told her to make herself comfortable, also she was free to take anything she wanted from the fridge or mini cellar, while I go upstairs to freshen up.

I came back to meet her with just a soda. I must say despite her sulking countenance, she was really fine that night.

" You look stressed out." She said in a very soft tone .

"you do not look good either, everything okay?" I asked, taking out a bottle of Bailey's and two glasses, then returned to take a seat opposite her.

" I am fine, I'm just going through a lot lately" she said, sipping on the Bailey's I handed to her.

"Stop being cryptic Trice, I do not understand how to help you" I told her feeling exhausted and worried because truthfully, I am not feeling good myself. I dropped my glass on the table, leaned my head on the back rest of the sofa and closed my eyes.

" You don't have to worry much. You can give me all the help I need and more." she whispered softly into my ears, which made me jump a little because I was not expecting her here, I mean some seconds ago she was just across the table and now she's straddling me, her smooth thighs are in view. "I love you Pete, you know I do, I don't know why you freaking act like you do not know. I need You to - make me - yours- take me whole- make- me-your - woman -mhm.. I know you want me too " she said all these slamming wet kisses on the corner of my mouth, my neck, my ears, she bit my ears and let out a soft moan. I must say she's good at what she does because my body responded immediately. It has been a while since I last bedded a woman and I did not want to do that anytime soon, but the mood and Trice's stimulation was making my body betray my mind. I adorned her neck with light feathery kisses, I felt her hands wrap around my neck tighter and her fingers running through my hair. I should have stopped myself, I should have stopped her, but instead, I ate her lips, she tastes like baileys. From her collar bone, I kissed a path down to her generously exposed cleavage, I felt her chest heave frantically and her breath was Haggard. I sucked on her exposed cleavage and she let out a moan, I left a hickey on her smooth skin. Hearing Trice moan is like fuel to a burning flame. She lifts up my face and kisses my lips eating me up and her tongue finds mine. The temperature was increasing rapidly, my hands are roaming all over her and Trice is getting my shirt unbuttoned, halfway down she started a path kissing down to one of my n*****s. She plants feathery kisses and tongues me in circular motion around my n*****s and her hand traced the path of my abs. Instantly my hard-on tripled and it was throbbing, I know she felt it because I was wearing only sweatpants. She skillfully lowered herself on me, bouncing very softly and I felt her wetness and a moan escape my mouth. she had no freaking underwear on.

I knew that If I allowed it to continue, we might never forgive ourselves. I did not want her to hate me later when she finds out that I had no feelings for her, I don't want to end our friendship. I decided to stop before I can no longer control my demons. I held her waist to steady her and stop her from bouncing on me. Then I held her shoulders.

" Trice this will not solve our problems, but would only increase them. Let's not do this and regret later." I said trying to fix her disheveled hair and adjusted her earrings.

"You like someone else?" She asked finally sober.

"No, someone else is sitting in my heart, right now!" I said and watched a tear roll down her cheek.

"Is it Goldie?" She asked. How do I lie to her to make her feel better?

"Yes" I replied simply. The heart wants what it wants. I did not want to give her hope where there was none. She got up from my lap and adjusted her clothes. Without saying a word. She picked up her belongings and left for the door. I could not explain what was wrong with me, but I found myself telling her about Goldie.

" Trice, Goldie passed out and she's in the hospital, executive ward 000" I called to her and she paused.

"Which hospital?" She asked in a weak tone without turning. "Decagon health" I told her. She reached the door, opened it, stepped out and before the door shut I grabbed her wrist and kissed her lips.

" I am sorry" I said after breaking off the kiss. She turned and left without another word. I lost my queen and ended up with a bloody pawn. I would rather lose the pawn too.

Back in my room , later that night, my phone screen lit up, it was a text from Goldie.

' I'll be leaving the hospital in the morning, be there, (｡♡‿♡｡)'

I smiled to myself. I would be there even before the sun wakes up.
