He Called Me Princess. Disaster Engagement Series Book 3 Lynn Smith

Episode 5

That night I was running a little bit late. I quickly put on some jeans and a vest top and wedges and let my hair down and rushed over to the pub. The big man and Tommy were playing pool and laughing by the time I got there. "Sorry I'm late I was on the phone to Fran" "how is he gorgeous" "grumpy" they both laughed "chewing my ear about the album" "how's auntie Lorraine?" "He didn't say he didn't want to talk about it" he put his arm around me "you know what he's like gorgeous. Just leave him to it" he was right but I wanted to be there for him and it broke my heart to think of him on his own "can I get you a drink princess?" "Yeah I'll have a beer" then Stacey wondered through the crowd. "Hi Lyds. Look at my new shoes aren't they amazing? don't you just love them?" "Yeah Stacey they are lovely" I rolled my eyes at the boys. They both laughed "fancy a game of pool gorgeous, Tommy you get the drinks" after a couple of hours we were all having a laugh. Tommy only had a couple of drinks because he was driving and he was working the next day. He was filming an action movie and needed to be on the set first thing. Tommy and the big man were still playing pool and it was getting super competitive. They had started playing for money and the drunker the big man was getting the more he was losing. Stacey and I sat gossiping watching them. Then a tall girl with long red hair came over "hi Jamie" she said and started to strock the Big Man’s arm. "Why didn't you call me back last week you bad boy? Why don't you come back to my house so I can spank you" the big man just laughed and said "f**k off darling" Stacey jumped onto her feet and ran towards the door. "Big man you better get after her" "she'll be fine" he said drinking his beer "I mean it big man, it's her birthday party in two weeks and I don't want you both to fall out before it. It's always so awkward for me when you aren't talking" "ok I will go after her, speak to you tomorrow gorgeous. Get her home safe Tommy. And no funny business" Tommy just gave him a smirk "don't worry big man I will be on my best behavior" the big man made his way through the crowd towards the door, a few minutes later we heard the big man and Stacey arguing when they passed the window. Tommy and I just laughed. "And that's why I'm not in a relationship I hate jealousy. It's a horrible thing to put up with" he had a serious look on his face "is that why you finished with me? I should never have accused you of sleeping with your ex.. I’m sorry about how I acted, I was an i***t” he looked gutted “yeah you were, and after it you weren't exactly beating down the door to win me back" "I know and I'm sorry about that but once someone tells me to leave or they don't want to speak to me, well that's it. I can't go back" "really?" "Yeah I'm funny that way. I think it's because my mum left us when I was young. I can't deal with someone turning their back on me" Tommy never spoke about his mum, he was close to his brothers and dad but this was the first time he ever mentioned her. "I'm sorry about your mum, she missed out on having you in her life because I think you’re lovely" "thanks princess you’re not too bad yourself, and I'm sorry again about being jealous. I'm just paranoid about ex boyfriends after that b***h Lexi cheated on me" it all kind of fell into place and I felt bad about ending a happy relationship because of one disagreement. "I just can't handle jealousy because of Stefan, he was a monster" "I was stupid I should have released I'm sorry again princess" "it doesn't matter now, it’s in the past I'm glad we can be friends again" his face dropped "yeah I'm glad too" I had another few drinks and Tommy was telling me about his film, it sounded really exciting being in an action movie. I was pleased for him that he was doing so well. "I've had a nice time Tommy but I better head home to bed. "Come on stay for a bit longer" "no honestly I better go" "ok I will take you home" we drove straight to my house and I gave him the code for my gates, he drove up the driveway and I said "thanks for taking me home honey" "thanks for tonight I had a laugh, you look beautiful tonight princess are you going to invite me in" "no I'm going to bed" I snapped “can I come with you" "no you can't" "can't blame me for trying can you" "yeah I can, I thought we were going to be friends" "but you mean more to me than that come here" and he lounged towards me for a kiss. I quickly jumped out the car "piss off Tommy" he got out his side and I ran up the steps to my front door "princess come on I'm sorry I shouldn't have tried it on but...." I went inside and slammed the door. How dare he think he can just get me back like that after the way he had treated me. I couldn’t believe I had been excited to see him again. Then I heard him shout and swear through the door "f**k" he sounded in pain I opened the door to give him a piece of my mind and ask him to stop shouting before my security went for him. He was holding his hand and swearing "god Tommy are you ok?" "No you slammed the door on my hand" "well your hand shouldn't have been in my door" his face was bright red "oh Tommy I'm sorry please come in I will get you some ice" he followed me through to the kitchen "sit down honey" I thought he was going to pass out, I wrapped some ice in a tea towel "give me your hand" he let go and I put the ice onto it "does that feel better?" "Yeah a bit, I jumped off a building this morning without a scratch then you go and break my hand in a door" "I'm so sorry honey, does it hurt?" "What do you think?" "I think you should have a cup of tea then I will take you to hospital and get it checked out" "yeah that's a good idea, I hope I don't need a cast on it the director will go nuts" "I'm so sorry Tommy I feel terrible" "you should" he snapped. I stood behind him and gave him a cuddle. "I'll put the kettle on honey" he sat sipping his tea with one hand and a scowl on his face. "I'll call my driver to take us to hospital you should really get an X-ray" "no it's fine I will go on my own" "please Tommy You wont be able to drive, I feel really guilty let me take you" "it's actually feeling a bit better, I'm sorry for trying to kiss you princess I shouldn't have done that" "it's ok, I was just pissed off you thought you could sleep with me at the drop of a hat" "I didn't think that princess, I know your a good girl" everything south of my waist tingled. I had always loved it when he called me that, but I never told him the affect it had on me. "And I wasn't just trying to get you into bed. I still have feelings for you princess. And no matter what I do I can't get over you" "oh right... well I'm not looking for a boyfriend Tommy what happened with Stefan has really affected me I'm not ready to jump into anything, I've been happy on my own this past year with no drama" "there wouldn't be any drama or jealousy princess we were good together. We just had one stupid fight and you threw it all away. why don't we spend a bit of time together and see how it goes" I had to admit that he was right, we were happy once. “Let me take you out to dinner just the two of us, I'm working but is Friday ok?" "Yeah that sounds good" I kissed his cheek and he looked relieved. I took the cups over to the sink and he came up behind me "the view is lovely, can you see that over there" he whispered into my ear. He had one arm wrapped around my waist and was pointing with his sore hand but there wasn't a mark on it. Then he kissed my neck, it felt good, then I released he had tried this one on me before "your hand looks ok to me" then he whispered "I can't believe you fell for that princess" and started to kiss my ear. I was livid "what? There's nothing wrong with your hand" I spun around and he was laughing "I had to do something to get in here" "tommy do you know what your a great actor you were wasted on London Streets, I want you to leave, I hate being lied too" "come on princess don't be like that" "I mean it leave now or I will get my security and they will do more than break your hand" "yeah alright I'm sorry I just want to be with you, I love you Lydia. I'm a desperate man here" "no your a liar, the big man told me that you love chasing woman but you don't like them once you get them" "did he? And what else did he tell you?" "That you are a ladies man" he laughed "had it ever entered you mind that he fills your head full of s**t about guys so you stay away from them" "what are you talking about? he's my friend" "he wants you for himself" "no he doesn't I'm sick of hearing this" "so I'm not the only one that thinks he's after you" "shut up Tommy" "no I won't shut up, it's about time you release what he's up too, that he's manipulating you" "your one to talk you just pretended to be hurt so you can get into my house" "he was all over you all night, he's always all over you" "I don't want to hear this, you just said there wouldn't be any drama and no jealousy and less than five seconds have passed and your saying stuff about my friend" "and your threatening me with security because I told a daft lie" "I'm sorry I'm just sensitive""come here princess I'm sorry too. I'm not jealous of the big man I'm just saying he isn't as perfect as you think, anyway I know there's nothing going on with you and him I would never accuse you of that" that was true he wasn't getting at me the way Stefan would. "Promise me you won't turn your back on me again because of one stupid fight because that would be it for us. I told you before I can't handle rejection I will just walk away" "that sounds like emotional black mail Tommy" "it's not. I'm being straight with you. I couldn't take it princess. It would break my heart and I'm not up for all that again. Please just give us a chance" "ok but promise you won't hurt me again. I was devastated when we split up. I really needed you. And you walked away." "I didn't think you cared that's why I stayed away" "well I did and I don't want all that again. So stop with the silly lies" "stop listening to your mates lies" "he's just trying to protect me, there's nothing in it" "ok I believe you I won't bring it up again" "ok Tommy well I will see you on Friday for dinner" "you won't regret this princess" but of course in the end I did.

POV The Big Man

I was heading over to see Lydia as soon as I had woke up that morning because I had went out for a few drinks with her and that cockney prick Tommy the night before and had to leave them alone together because of Stacey. I could have murdered her when we got home. She was going on and on and I was desperate to throw her out and tell her we were finished but I knew that Lydia wouldn't be happy. I had noticed that when me and Stacey weren't talking I would hardly get to see Lydia so I was stuck with Stacey for the time being. I don't know what I was thinking when I started seeing Stacey she was a pain in the neck but she had a nice arse but that was about it. Not to mention that she was a bit of a slut, she would let me do anything to her to keep me happy and I did it all. I had left Tommy to take Lydia home last night and I was taking corners on two wheels to get over there first thing to make sure he hadn't stayed the night with her. Fran was frantic when I told him that I had left Lydia with him. "What were you thinking leaving her with Tommy! I mean it Big Man you better get round there and make sure nothing's happening" he was shouting "yeah alright Fran, I'm going as fast as I can" "make sure to put the boot in as much as you can, I don't think she was ever serious about him but make sure it doesn't happen again, I'm counting on you" "listen mate I wouldn't let him near her last night" I had been all over her. She looked so hot in her tight jeans her arse was incredible and her t**s were perfect she always did this thing if I was saying anything dirty or flirting with her where she would have this really surprised look on her face and go all red and bat her eyelashes and I loved it. She was a good girl not like the slags I slept with. She was beautiful, sexy as f**k and caring. She made me feel like I was the only person that mattered to her unless Fran was there. I know he's my best mate but I could strangle him sometimes, the little weasel always manages to get in with her before me, he was always two steps ahead but this was my shot, he was stuck in Scotland and I was going to tell Lydia exactly how I felt about her. This had went on for too long, I couldn't take it any more. and now Tommy was sniffing about again I was starting to panic. He knew I would break his legs if he got with her last night. Although the last time I broke two of his ribs and he still carried on seeing her, the prick thought he was a hard man. But once he thought it was me and Fran had made that little s**t Stefan disappear he finished with Lydia straight away. Fran was still rabbiting on about Tommy "tell him from me to stay the f**k away from her" "alright mate calm down I'm nearly there, I will call you later" I punched the code in for her gates to open and the security waved me in. I practically ran through the front door. If he would have been there I was going to kill him. "Morning gorgeous I shouted at the top of my lungs" I planed on giving that prick the shock of his life that I was on to him. She didn't answer I was livid but my heart sank I hope she's not up stairs getting f****d by him it would have broke my heart. Then her little voice rang through from the kitchen "Hiya honey" when I went through I was so relieved. She was sitting eating toast on the phone. She gave me a huge smile and a little wave. I stood with my hands in my pockets, I was desperate to grab her and end her call. I wanted to ask her about last night and I wanted all her attention. She was wearing tiny little shorts and vest top and her hair tied up in a ponytail. I loved her hair tied up like that. I would always picture her going down on me grabbing her hair and pushing my d**k down her throat. "Ok Fran speak to you later" it was him on the phone, he's not even here and he's got to her before me. She let out a big sigh and gave me a little smile "Was that Fran?" I asked trying to not to sound pissed off "Yeah he's going on and on about the album, he was talking to me like he was my head teacher giving me into trouble 'I mean it gorgeous you better be concentrating on new material and not going out too much' but he said we were taking our time and now he wants two new songs by the end of the week, like I'm on a dead line it doesn't make sense" Fran was so transparent he might as well have said stop hanging about with Tommy and get some work done. "Forget about him gorgeous, what you up too today? fancy a drive and a spot of lunch?" She gave me the petted lip "no I better get some work done" so Frans rant had worked, but I didn't want it to mean she wouldn't spend the day with me "come on I'm bored he's not here he will never know" a smile broke onto her face then disappeared quickly "what happened with you and Stacey last night? Is everything ok for the party?" She was looking up at me with her big puppy dog eyes and I wanted to kiss her "She's fine" I said but the truth was I had banged that red head last week, that's why she was coming onto me again, but I couldn't tell Lydia that. "I don't know that woman she was just a fan talking s**t" I said trying to play innocent "oh right, what a b***h big man. But I'm glad you two are ok. Because this party has to be perfect. Stacey is such a bossy boots" she let out the sweetest giggle. She was so cute I wanted to grab her and kiss her face. "Yeah we are fine, your so cute in the morning I love you with no make up on" she giggled again. Fran constantly shouted at me for having no filter with her. He could hide the fact that he loved her and but I couldn't hide it I always just said exactly what I thought. Sometimes she laughed it off but other times she would become distant with me, depending on what I had said. "Why are you here so early honey couldn't you sleep? You worry me when you don't sleep. I hope Stacey is looking after you properly. Have you even had breakfast?" I decided to really ham it up "no she didn't have time to make me anything and there wasn't any shopping in, I'm pretty starving actually" I said pretending to feel sorry for myself "oh big man your a wee lamb sit down and I will make your favourite. Favourite breakfast for my favourite boy" she said in her little cute voice. She always made me feel special, fussing after me and I loved it, I loved having all her attention. "Thanks Lydia your the best" she quickly rustled up some pancakes. I loved watching her, I was telling her about a guy that had cut me off on the high way and she would do this little face as if she was really angry "he's a bastard honey I hope I never run into him he will get a kick in the balls" she was always saying stuff like that, and I was protective of her too. She came over and put the plate down in front of me and kissed my cheek. Her t**s pressed against my arm "there you are handsome eat up" she smelled lovely, I wanted to grab her and throw her onto the breakfast table. "You look so f*****g hot in the morning gorgeous" she just ignored me "eat up or you won't be a big strong boy" I think she would have fed it to me if I would have asked her. Her ex Mick used to always laugh at the way she was with me. He said she treated me like her baby, but I loved it. She sat down with a big smile on her face and watched as I ate her delicious pancakes. She is the perfect woman. She is sexy as f**k, funny, caring and she can cook, she is the total package, trouble was I wasn't the only one that thought so. She was flicking through a magazine as I was munching my breakfast. I wanted her to talk to me and give me all her attention and I needed to know nothing happened with that prick Tommy. "So last night did Tommy behave himself?" I asked "Yeah" was all she said and she went back to reading. "It's just he didn't stop staring at your t**s all night" I sounded a little more angry than what I wanted it to come out "big man" she scoulded me then she had that little flirty ‘I'm a good girl’ look on her face. Then she went straight back to reading. I wanted a big reaction from her I wanted all her attention so I decided to make something up that might annoy her into having a conversation with me "he was staring at Stacey's arse all night too" I said looking at her beautiful face for any kind of reaction. Then all she said was "Stacey has a great arse” as she kept reading her magazine. Right I'd had enough of this I want her to concentrate on me and tell me she hates Tommy I really had to pull something out my arse here. "Is he still seeing that actress?" "What?" She said with a funny look on her face, Bingo I've got her "He was seeing that girl the one he's making the movie with, is he still with her?" She looked like she didn't believe me "I don't know he didn't say, what's her name?" s**t I wasn't expecting any questions "Ehh I think it's Sharon" "really Sharon? Sharon who?" "I cant remember" why was she questioning me she usually just took what I said as gospel. "Sharon who big man?" I looked around frantically trying to think of a second name Sharon tea pot, Sharon pancake, yeah big man she's going to believe he's seeing some woman called Sharon Pancake. Then she interrupted my thoughts "Tommy's a nice guy he didn't try anything on, and if he has a girlfriend he won't try anything" so she still thinks he's a nice guy, I had to put a stop to that right now "it hadn't stopped him before" "what do you mean honey?" She looked hurt, Yes finally a bite from her "never mind" I said pretending to change the subject "no tell me you little gossip" she was on my line I just had to drag her in "just when he started seeing you he was seeing a girl he worked with her name was Lexi, they had been together for years but he dumped her like that" I said snapping my fingers. "Oh right" she said biting her bottom lip "well all I’m saying is I don't think he's a one woman man gorgeous, if you know what I mean" then she looked all confused "really because when I met Lexi they had already split up, and that was before I started seeing him. In fact they had split up the year before" f**k!!! She was on to me. "Not that girl it was another one" I said, what was up with me this morning? She usually ate up all my lies "oh you must be getting mixed up honey" she said with a funny look on her face. "Anyway it doesn't matter because nothing is going on. But I did invite him to Stacey's party, maybe he will bring his girlfriend Sharon" thank f**k she decided to drop it, I was beginning to panic that she was on to me "yeah that's good he's a nice guy" I said with a big f*****g fake smile plastered on my face but I f*****g hated him. I wanted him out the picture, but the party wasn't for a couple of weeks which gave me time to really turn her against him. I had always had to plant little things with her to put her off guys. I had split her and Mick up by encouraging him to take a job on the other side of the world and convincing Lydia that he didn't want to be with her anymore. He had said that he was going to propose to her I told him that she would probably say no because he was an out of work actor so when his first big part in a film happened I encouraged him to take it and that she would never settle down with him unless he was successful. And it worked like a dream. With Stefan I went a bit nuts. I was all over the place and I let my lies get out of control and I started to pull everyone into it. At one point I even had Chris upset. I couldn't keep up with it all. I had went off the deep end but I felt like I was losing her and Fran wasn't doing anything. I told Fran Stefan was a junkie and that he was trying to convince Lydia to settle down and have kids. So when Stefan proposed and Lydia said yes Fran went nuts and knocked him out. I even told Stefan about what happened to her when she was a little girl, that was a my low point. I just knew if he ever mentioned it to her that would be it for him. And I was right. I had Stefan's head f****d from the beginning I was constantly in his ear going on about how close Me and Lydia were, and then I just let him connect the dots. And in the end he couldn't handle all the digs and lost the plot. When he attacked her because of all my lies I was gutted. I couldn't believe how far I had went. He could have killed her and it was all my fault. The only one I never tried it with was Fran, I knew she would have seen right through it. And it wasn't fair game, But now I had something big on him and I knew it would be the end for him. Before Chris and Carmela's wedding Lydia and Fran were attached at the hip and he was smug as f**k. We hadn't been staying in LA for very long and every actor, rapper and basketball player was after Lydia, but she had no idea because Fran and I had to chase them all away. I always wondered why she didn't think it was strange that no one ever asked her out because she was a beautiful girl. The only ones that managed to squirm their way through to her was Mick Stefan and Tommy. All I mates of ours, but we agreed never to trust anyone with her again. Anyway one day before the wedding I over heard Carmela talking to Stacey about Fran and how he was head over heels in love with Lydia and how Carmela was desperate for them to be together. She was all excited because she had been laying the ground work talking him up to Lydia and had convinced him to declare his undying love to her. Fran didn't mention it to me but Carmela said he was going to do it at the wedding. I was desperate, I couldn't let it happen. We all went away for Chris stag do. We decided to go to Vegas, it was a laugh, loads of our old mates from Glasgow and London came over for it. I had managed to track down online the phone number of a pair of porn stars that dressed up like Lydia. They were called The Dirty Knights and had starred in loads of movies were they pretended to be her, they even had plastic surgery to look like her. They both had huge fake t**s and long dark hair, they always wore red lipstick and leather jackets with dark sunglasses and they lived in Vegas. When someone had showed Lydia the photos of them online she was really upset. Lydia is the sexiest girl I had ever seen but she thought it was weird if anyone looked at her that way. It must have went back to when she was a kid. I organised for the girls to come to Frans hotel suite. Fran had pissed off Lydia a few years ago when she caught him banging some Lydia Knight lookalike but this would ….
