NORA
I could hear the birds chirping outside my window as the rays of sunlight found their way into my room. I fluttered my eyes open slowly before lying on my front. Furthermore, I don't want to get up from the bed, at least not now.
I felt so lazy, so tired, and weak, and this holiday I was fantasizing about sucks. I mean, I came back with a lot of fun and hopes of living the best holiday with my bucket list in check, only for it to come crashing to my face.
I slowly sat down relaxing my head on the headboard, busy staring at nothing. My phone buzzed, and I reached for it at the table before staring at the screen. A message popped up, and it came from an unknown number.
I creased my brows, wondering who could be reaching out to me. Is it Damon? No, I don't think so. Because there isn't a reason for him to reach out to me with an unknown number when I'm still in contact with him on my other number.
I opened the message, and it read aloud, 'Meet me up at Star Hotel.'
" What the hell!" I scoffed, wondering who had the guts to send me such messages.
What am I? A w***e or something?
Another message popped in, and I stared at my screen. 'Room 306 will be waiting for you, little kitten'
"Little kitten?" The name sounded familiar in my head, and I tried recollecting who addresses me by that name.
Xavier.
He's the only person calling me that. What does he possibly want from me now?. I stared at the messages repeatedly, still contemplating whether to send him a reply or not, and how the hell did he even get my number?I ruffled my hair, feeling confused. I don't know if I should go or not, or better still, go in search of a guy that I can use against Damon.
I needed him to pay, and I needed him to go through all the pains that I went through. The heartbreaks, the pains, and sadness, the loud cries, I want him to feel every bit of pain.
Even if in the end I couldn't stand up against this marriage, then I'm going to make sure that he regrets it for the rest of his miserable life, I'm going to make sure he suffers and goes through pain. He will be the one to file for a divorce, and then I wouldn't accept it easily.
I crawled down slowly from the bed, heading to the bathroom. It is just so funny how lovers turned to enemies, how people with uncontrollable love and affection for each other have turned out to hate each other dearly.
I let the water fall down on my body, remembering the memories we shared together. We were supposed to be that perfect couple, the perfect one that everyone wants to be like, but sadly he threw my love into the trash, and now he wants me back.
Of course I wouldn't say no; I will play along and then execute my revenge. I turned off the shower, stepping out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body when a knock came in on my door.
I paused before glancing at the door, "Who's there?"
I called out immediately.
"Mom wants you to come downstairs; Damon is here to see you" Emma sounded from outside the door, and I frowned slightly.
Damon? What is he doing here? What does he want, and why is my mom sending for me now?
"Did you get my message?" She added after not getting a response from me.
I kept mute and walked to the dressing table, staring at my reflection in the mirror. I'm still that pretty girl of years ago, but this time around I've become more prettier and I can pull a trick on any guy.
So who told my mom no man would want me aside from Damon? Who told her that because Damon knows me a lot, means he's the only one who understands me? And who told Damon that I can never do without him? Guess what? Jokes on them all.
I changed into some new pairs of outfits, I grabbed my phone, and stepped out of my room. I walked down the stairs heading to the dining table, and there was Damon sitting on one of the chairs.
Our eyes met, and he gave me a canny yet sweet smile. I immediately tightened my fist because I hated the fact that he still had little effect on me. His pretty face, his smile, along with his characters and behaviors—I still like them all, but each time he keeps hurting me and breaking my heart repeatedly, because he doesn't have any regard for me. That is the only thing putting us apart, I can't be with a man who thinks low and less of me and a man who likes women alot.
"Nora?" He called sweetly, and I frowned.
"What are you doing here, and what do you want from me?" I immediately said, not acknowledging the pleasantries.
"Oh come on, baby girl, I'm only here to apologize for what I did yesterday. Believe me when I say it wasn't intentional. I only wanted to play and mess with you as always, but it kind of went too far and out of what I imagined it to be, so please, Nora, I'm sorry; please forgive me" Damon said all at once, and I stared at him in shock.
Why is he apologizing to me now? Who told him to do all this? His mom, Old Master Hawk, or Xavier?
"For real, you are here to seek my apology?" I folded my arms under my boobs, staring at him so intently with a playful smile plastered on my face.
The same man who could ask for my forgiveness four times after being caught cheating on me is now asking for my forgiveness again when he's literally going to do, or rather repeat, the same thing.
What a shame!
"Where are your manners, Nora? Your fiancé is here asking for your forgiveness, so is this how you're going to forgive him?" My mother interrupted.
I actually forgot she and Emma were also present at the dining table as well.. tsk tsk tsk...
"Okay you want me to forgive him in the right way, right?" I took some steps towards me with my eyes glued on him.
I walked to his chair and turned him around before standing right in front of him. His eyes were also on me as well, not daring to look away as if wanting to know my next move. I placed my hands on his cheek, bringing my face closer until we were inches apart.
"Oh Damon!" I bit my lower lip and watched him gulp down repeatedly, eager and waiting for me.
I moved closer, and he parted his lips as if inviting me in for a kiss...then I smiled.
*SLAP*
"What the hell!!" Damon yelled, staring daggers at me.
"Nora??"
"Sister??"
I shook my hand after giving him a resounding slap of his life.
"What made you think I was actually going to kiss you?" I laughed.
"Such a fool!!"
