A Seat in His Heart

Chapter 17 - I know you (2)

[ Trice's POV]

At my mum's, I got badly scolded for being a rude daughter to her boyfriend. I thought they were over, like they had been over for years and I got a call just a few days ago by an unknown number telling me to meet him at Fulton's, a platinum rated hotel. I simply told him off, then he asked for my mum. I later found out that he had reconciled with my mom, because he threatened me he would inform my mum of how rude I was to him before his call ended. I really did not read much into it because my mum made me believe she was done with him and I knew his words would be meaningless. I loathe that man. How could he want mother and daughter at the same time? My mum's business was not going really well at the time and he was like an oasis in the desert of business for her. That was how he got back into our lives. I was devastated, I don't even want to think about what my mum had to do to get him back. This man was married and he was having an affair with my mum, he defiled me and my mum practically still worshipped the ground he walked on.

I shouldn't have come here, after all the tongue lashing I got from my mum was something I did not enjoy. She handed me a huge white envelope containing cash and some Gucci shopping bags, she said they're gifts from him and another round of his praises began. Had she not told me about the source of these gifts, I would have been more than happy to take them but now, never. I bid my mum good night and safe travel then gave the clothes to the homeless lady I found on the street and a bundle of cash while I kept the rest of the money. I needed the money, okay.

Later that evening, I went over to Eric's apartment, with the way I was feeling, man, I needed some comfort. I just threw on one of the expensive clothes I had stashed away, somewhere in my closet, I needed to look fine as hell if he must be enticed but I didn't intend to put much effort into it, I needed him to notice my mood, I needed him to care, I needed him to see the lady in me. Men love to feel like superman to a lady, they love when they are seen as reliable and trusted for comfort. My messed up mood and face was a bonus. Yeah, a thank you to my mum. I wore my perfume literally called 'Lust' and I set out to Eric's apartment. I met his absence. Can today be any more cruel? I decided to sit by the stairs and wait for him. The guys on the street were whistling when they noticed me. I waited for a long time and I almost felt like I got the wrong house. Honestly, I had never been at Eric's before and that was the first time. I remembered him writing down his address when he requested home delivery for a textbook he had bought online.

The place looked very sophisticated even from outside, then what would the insides be like? I thought to myself. this was not a place just any student would live in. I was almost giving up when I saw him walk towards the stairs, he looked worn, exhausted with no ounce of his composure. What could have happened to him? I began to thank my stars, if I've got any. I came to be comforted but I don't mind being the comforter instead. This must be heaven smiling at me for once. He stopped on his tracks when he spotted me. I do not know what happened but I found myself rushing into him with a hug, he smelled of sweat mixed with cologne, very manly. He hugged me back, man! Talk about strong arms. I started feeling warm and fuzzy inside, I could have melted. He quietly opened the door and I followed in. Damn! If there was a backdoor to heaven, his place would be it, so this is what it meant to have a billionaire dad? Someone should sign me up for adoption! I thought.

He offered me a seat and told me to feel comfortable. Comfortable was an understatement because that apartment, I will be its queen no matter how long it took to achieve my goals. He went to freshen up, because he left the living room. I wanted to go up the stairs with him but I held myself back.

I settled for a soda because I only wanted to calm my nerves and not appear greedy, taking any of that expensive stuff in the house. Of course what he thought of me was extremely important to my course. I was not being greedy either, I only loved him. He came out in casual clothes, a loose vintage shirt and sweatpants. He must have been rushing to get back down because he's buttons were uneven and caught a glimpse of his abs and belly button. I won't forget how badly I wanted to get my hands on those abs.

I had pointed out how stressed out he looked and he said that I wasn't looking good either. So he noticed. I smiled inwardly. He pressed on asking me what the problem was, after the usual ' I'm fine' everyone says even when they were dying. simply told him that I have been going through a lot lately. I felt the even the slightest frustration in his voice, when he said I should not be cryptic so he can understand how to help me. I felt moved when he said that. Eric was truly caring even in the face of his own troubles, he wanted to help me solve my own issues. I also felt like telling him the truth about my family and telling him to deal with my mum's boyfriend. But I paid more attention to what his voice was doing to the she-devil between my legs. Being in the same room as Eric was torturous because he was so hot. There was something about his exhausted look on the sofa that made me lose my character as I straddled him dangerously and whispered into his ears softly. He shot his head up immediately, I knew he wasn't expecting that, but damn his breath was fanning my cheeks warmly. He smelled fresh and minty.

He looked down at me, my dress was short and tight so my action of straddling him gave it quite a pull feeding him a very generous amount of my bare thigh. He gulped at the sight of it. His eyelids were now heavy with lust and I surely liked the reaction I got from him. It gave me the confidence to continue. I rained kisses on that man.

"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 "

I remember saying all these while slamming wet kisses on the corner of his mouth, his neck, his ears, I licked and bit his ears and let out a soft moan. I felt like I was about to explode with emotions, I felt mad damp down there I might have been dripping, I shouldn't have worn a lacy thong.

Eric's response to me was heartwarming. He kissed me back. Now the kisses he gave formatted my brain. Ever heard of being kissed senseless? Yes, that was the type I got, not one but it rained on me. I even got a hickey, I didn't know how to stifle a moan so I let it out, Eric was such a naughty boy. He loved it.

I felt his hard on tripple when I tongued his n***les. I sat on him, I knew he felt my wetness. I felt his Haggard breath. Then suddenly he held my waist to stop me and then steadied my shoulder.

" Trice this will not solve our problems, but would only increase them. Let's not do this and regret later." I heard him say in a raspy voice and tried to fix my disheveled hair and adjust my earrings. This man has got the most well controlled mind under his force. "You like someone else?" I was finally sober. "No, someone else is sitting in my heart, right now" He said and I felt wetness on my face. It was a tear making its way down my cheeks. F**k! Rejection hurts like a b***h. " Is it Goldie?" I asked, just to be clear I guess, I don't know why I asked though.

"Yes," he replied simply. I didn't need a smack on my head to tell me it's time to leave. I was hurt twice that day only this time it was because of Gold. He told me she's in the hospital, Decagon health. Hell! How did she get in there? I needed to go see, I know Eric must be paying her bills.

I quickly got changed at home and rushed to the hospital. The place was quite fancy and huge. It would perfectly pass for a hotel. What distracted me was the voice of Goldie in the terrace, I would know the voice of that b***h anywhere. What I saw shocked me in a way, she was hugging Kyle. I didn't hesitate to take a shot. I'll be teasing her with this later, maybe telling her how much they looked good together. It might work to get her to feel something for Kyle and leave Eric. What are friends for if they don't help you discover what you truly wanted. They noticed me. We had a great conversation and I left that night. Why wouldn't I? I need them together more often so that spark becomes a flame.

I almost got a heart attack when Kyle told me they're going on a date the next day. My Eric and that b***h. I had to confirm the situation myself and it was true. I clearly heard him requesting another date on the phone too. I felt like strangling the b***h who's always acting nice, I'm sure she was really pleased that I got to hear that. Thank God her mum intervened, else I would have had a cardiac arrest for real if they had gone on another date. She travelled back home for the break.

I had to mark my territory while she was gone l. The cards I sent her must not be having an effect. I had to be more clear with my message when she returned. For now she's out of range and out of range means the city is mine, with Eric under my beautiful thumb.
