DARK DESIRE 🌹

Episode 7

My greatest fear has finally caught up with me...karma finally caught up with me ...my friendship with Ashley will be over...

“Derrick I can’t do that...am not sure if u can do such a thing...I said

“Hey you can you’re just scared...it’s for the the best..trust me you wouldn’t be happy if Ashley finds out by her self do the right thing Phoebe...Derrick said

I sighed....

“Please....Derrick said

“I’ll try Derrick ...am not really opened for that yet...I just wanted it to die off without Ashley finding out...

“That’s not possible Phoebe...karma finds its way in one way or the other...

“Ok I will do it...I’ll tell Ashley everything as soon as possible...

“That’s the right thing to do Phoebe trust me ...it is...now let’s go...Derrick said as he started the car and drove me back home..

Soon we were at me apartment...throughout the ride I kept picturing Ashley’s reaction if she finds out...how she would flare up and go crazy knowing am the reason she was humiliated...I was about getting out of the car when Derrick held my hands...

“Phoebe me telling you to do this doesn’t mean I hate you...I love you...I’ll always love you...but I can’t date an hypocrite...I really hope you understand and do the right thing...

“I do ...I understand Derrick...

“Alright..good night Phoebe ....Derrick said as he kissed my cheek...

I dropped off from the car and watched as Derrick drove away...my life just got busted...i sluggishly walked into my apartment...regretting all I have done...regretting the dirty desire I had for Damon...I got into my apartment didn’t even think to change my outfit...I layed on my bed thinking how I’ll become a big loner after telling Ashley...”WILL BECKY AND DANIEL BE MY FRIEND AFTER THIS??....I thought to my self...I was really in a mess..there is no going back on this time...I tried to stay awake for a long time to think it through..but I couldn’t fight with my body...I slowly closed my eyes and dozed off...

?THE NEXT DAY?

The streets of New York was back to life...every citizens were either headed to work or going to fun..one of those..I was awoken by the morning ? birds...I woke up wishing I had died last night...wishing the day hadn’t began I was still moody on last night conversation with Derrick ...I grabbed a cup of tea and abs usual stare at the only thing that makes me smile...the street of New York.

I watched how little children smiled while going to school...how married women smiled at their children when take them to school...i watched how people on the streets of New York seemed happy ...I wished deep down my life were as easy as theirs...

I closed my curtain and head straight to the shower to wash up...I had a warm nice shower..I flossed and did my hair...I select my outfit and in minutes I was ready for the day...

I walked out of my apartment to grab a cab ...I was about stopping one when I felt something drop on my head like bird poop..I slowly raised my hand up to check ...

“Pleas don’t be bird poop ...please don’t be bird poop...I said as I touched my hair..And unfortunately it was bird poop ...

“Ew...come on...your only making my day worst...get the f**k outta here...I said chasing the bird away...

Some people on the streets found my reaction weird...some whispered to them self hopping I wasn’t crazy...I didn’t mind about it...I didn’t care what anybody thought...I walked back to my house to wash my hair...

I finished washing and drying my hair one more time...And this time I was ready for any bird poop ?...I grabbed an umbrella with me and was about leaving when I got a call...it was from Derrick..

???????????????:Hey Phoebe good morning...

?:hey Derrick..good morning...I wasn’t expecting your call so soon..

?:yeah am sorry about that...I just wanted to let you know I won’t be at the coffee shop today..

?:woah why..is it about last night..

He chuckled

?:slow down there Phoebe..it’s not that...I will be on a family vacation for a week...my family has a reality show you know..so we will be having a new episode in Paris...

?:awnnnn..that’s so lovely...I wish I could go to Paris...

?:you could come if you wanna..for real

?:oh no Derrick..I have to run a business here..

?:it’s fine..I hope you do the right thing before I get back from Paris..

?:I will Derrick I promise you ...I will

?:that’s so lovely...bye Phoebe

My conversation with Derrick made me feel a lot better...I grabbed my purse and head out to work..I fortunately didn’t get pooped on again..I stopped a taxi and soon we were at my coffee shop..Marcel as usual was already in there ..

I paid the driver off and rushed to join Marcel...

“Good morning girl..Marcel said

“Hey good morning..hold up are you wearing boot heels ?...

“Yeah ...I am ..do you have a problem with it..

“Of course I do..this is a business place not a club house...Marcel could you please dress properly to work tomorrow..I have enough headache..

“Ohk firstly ..it’s queen jay..and secondly I don’t wanna look like a Picasso at work..who knows I might meet my partner here...

“Hmm...you have a point..at least your life isn’t as messed up as mine...I said

“Girl did you do something crazy...

I chuckled

“Hell no..I...I went on a date with Derrick last night like you told me too..

“Interesting..so did you guys make out yet..

“Omg??...we didn’t ..I asked him out and guess what he said...

“What??...yes???

“I wish..he told me to go tell Ashley everything that happened between Damon and I...

“Damn girl..that’s a big mess..like a big mess..I mean a terrible mess..

“Yeah ...No kidding..so what do I do now..I don’t wanna loose my long time friends ..I don’t wanna loose my bond..

“Ok...You want the truth???...Marcel said

“Yes...I do

“You really want it...

“Yes I do marcel...spit it out...

“Don’t tell Ashley...

“What!!!....

“Yeah..don’t tell her...We all know the outcome if she finds out...you will loose her gurl...just let it die in silent...nobody’s gonna know...

“But what of karma ..I can’t avoid that..one way or the other...karma will catch up with me...

“Oh girl f**k karma...to hell with it...if you try being apologetic and tell Ashley everything she will only get more hurt...imagine letting her know you are the reason she was dumped on the altar...girl then that will be a big mess...she might even come for your life...that’s if she’s crazy like I am...

“You have a point there marcel...it’s really scary ?...I am so f****d up

“You sure are...ok how about we go have fun tonight...let go to a club to get your mind of it...

“Sure ...I’ll go with you...anything to get my mind off this mess...

“Alright good for you..Marcel said as he got walked to the counter...

Perhaps Marcel is right...everything will get even worst...Ashley might come for me...who knows if I’ll be alive after telling her ...what if her dad finds out I made her life miserable...

“Do I tell her...I said under my breathe..

“Tell her what...a voice said behind me..it was Becky..

“Omg..Becky you scared me..what are you doing here...

“Off to the grocery store..I wanted to grab a coffee when I heard you mumbling to yourself..

“Oh about that..just thinking ...so how’s Ashley...I said

“She getting better...we are still investigating on Damon...

“Ok tell me you’re joking..are you guys still on that ...

“Of course..Ashley hired spies to watch every of Damon whereabouts...

“Wait like real spies...

“No no no..just some bunch of photographer taking his pictures when he his somewhere..so far so good we haven’t gotten a lead..Ashley might probably drop the spies..

“Yeah you guys should...your prying on his privacy..

“Whatever can I have a cup of coffee please ..Becky said

I got Becky a cup of coffee..

“Thanks ..don’t forget tomorrow..Becky said

“What’s happening tomorrow...I asked curiously

“Ashley wants us to return the wedding gown...

“Is that even possible...and I have to be here tomorrow working

“Yes it’s possible...and you have dude in heels to help you....

“Uhh..I can hear you ?...Marcel said interrupting us..

“Whatever..so will you be there...Becky said

“Uh sure..I’ll tell Marcel to handle the shop while am gone...

“Perfect..I’ll let Ashley know about it..see you later...Becky said as she left the shop..I waved at her as she walked out..I headed back to the counter to join Marcel...

“Your friend’s a bitch...Marcel said rolling his eyes...

I laughed...

“Now your laughing at me..you should be apologizing on her behalf...

I chuckled

“Alright on her behalf ..am sorry is that good??...

“Whatever ..am still the baddest of them all...

We laughed..

We continued attending to customers ..things were working out fine...the customers were satisfied ..I decided to take a break ..

“Marcel..I have to go get us lunch be right back...I said as I left...

I was about leaving when I bumped into Damon ..

“Hey Phoebe..he said smiling..

“OMG..what are you doing here..I said as I dragged him out of the shop into a more private area..

“Phoebe why are we here..this place look deserted...Derrick said

“Because you have some spies following you around...

“Wait what...spies??...

“Yes spies...Becky told me Ashley wants to find out why you bailed on her..and she thinks it’s because your seeing someone..which you are..with me!!!!!

“We aren’t dating Phoebe so chill..

“Tell that to Ashley when she finds us hanging out...I said ..I was about leaving when Damon held my hands

“Don’t go..I just ...I just wanted to see your face..I know I messed up big time..I wish I was with you..but I can’t...am leaving town soon ..am leaving to New Orleans...He said with a sad look

“Oh..I didn’t know that..good luck..

“Yeah ..I just wanted to have one last dinner with you tonight please...

“We can’t...Damon you have spies around you and besides I have plans with Marcel tonight

“Uh..we could have dinner in your shop if you want..it’s more safe there...

“I don’t know Damon ..I really don’t know...

“One last meal and I won’t ever look back to you...

“You promise..

“I promise...please just one dinner...

“Alright fine..I’ll cancel my plans with Marcel..I need to go now ..Marcel should be expecting me..I said as I left...

I didn’t for once look back at Damon while I was leaving ..I was determined to cut ties between us...one last dinner wouldn’t hurt...It’s my only ticket if getting rid of Damon..I should take it

I got Our lunch at a sushi restaurant and head back to the shop...

“Omg Phoebe where have you been...my stomach has been angry with you...Marcel said teasing me

I chuckled

“Am sorry got caught up with something...I said as I brought out the food

“You mean Damon...

“Wait wtf...how did you know

“Am really good at my game Phoebe...

“You’re such a creep...did you see us together...

“Oh no..I saw you taking him somewhere private...I figured it’s either you guys wanna make out or talk...so which did you do...

“We talked and not that other way round...

“I see...so what do you guys have this time...a date??...Marcel said

“Kinda...he his leaving town soon...he wants to have one last dinner together...

“Awnn that’s so cute...

“Yeah so I’ll just have to honor it...

“Yeah you should...Marcel said as he ate his food

Soon time was fast spent..it was closing hour...Marcel changed the sign and cleaned up...

“OMG..,am such a terrible person...I haven’t seen Derrick all day...did you fire him...Marcel said

I giggled

“Hello no..he his in a family vacation...for a new Lawson episode

“Omg..I love that show...hold up Derrick is a Lawson..!!!!!!

“Yeah...I thought I told you...

“You didn’t!!!!...omg I can’t believe I work with a celebrity...

“Chill out...he isn’t even on the show...he is just part of the family...

“Whatever he his still a celebrity...I need to leave now...see ya tomorrow...Marcel said as he packed up...

I waved at him as he left and continued to check on sales...the sales wasn’t that bad...

I couldn’t close up due to the dinner I will be having with damon...

I ordered some food and drinks..I made the shop look spiffy and elegant...in some hours the food came and everything was ready at this time is was already 7:30....

I was about going to the storage room to get some cups..when I got a text from damon..

?WILL BE THERE SHORTLY..?

I rushed to the storage room grabbed to cups and washed my face...I did a new simple light make up on my face and waited for Damon...

It was already 8pm..Damon hasn’t showed up..I had doubt he was gonna show up..I decided to sit a bit ..and fortunately my patience paid off...Damon walked in the shops at 8:30..He dressed so handsomely...he had a new hair do and he was holding a bunch of flowers...

“Hello beautiful..am sorry I am late..he said as he walked towards me...

His eyes were sort off glowing..his smile were so charming...I smiled back at him...

“It’s fine...let’s have our sit...I said

“Interesting...I see you already made your store look beautiful for me...Damon said

“Yeah..it’s your last day in new York ..you need to have a last memory before leaving ...

“That’s so nice if you...I love it...

“Yeah...you look good by the way ..I love your outfit...i said

“You don’t look bad either...Damon staring at me

“Oh please ...I have been wearing this outfit since morning...

“You still look good...Damon said

I chuckled...

“So why are u leaving New York...I asked

“I can’t live here knowing Ashley hates me..I also can’t live with you hating me...

“That’s messed up...am so sorry about it...we just can’t work out...

“I know...let’s just eat...Damon said as he digged in...

Damon and I chit chat ,laughed and joked...

“Pass me that wine...I said

“Phoebe that wine is really a strong wine ?...we will get real drunk if we do drink that...

“Whatever today is the last day you’ll be in New York...so we gat to be drunk...i said as I poured the wine out.,,

Damon and I drank till we got filled ...I brought out an mp player and we danced to it...I could tell I was getting drunk and tipsy...but I still wanted to have fun..I grabbed the wine and danced with Damon while drinking the wine...we had fun and mistakenly I poured a bottle of wine in Damon shirt...

“Oh my God am so sorry...I said Sluggishly

“It’s fine...I am kinda drunk here also...let me get change...Damon said as he took off his clothes...

Damon body was so fit...he had large muscle and sexy abs...I couldn’t help but to stare at him..

“You’re sexy...I said.

“Phoebe you’re drunk..I warned you about it...Damon said

“I don’t care..I love your pecs and muscle..I said as i sluggishly walked towards him..

I began touching Damon body while I was drunk..

“Phoebe you are drunk..let’s me get change so I can take you home...

“I don’t wanna go home...I wanna ride you...I said as I pushed Damon to the counter...

“Phoebe stop...you aren’t your self....

“Susssh...let’s enjoy this...I said as I removed my clothes and Damon’s trousers..

In minutes we were in a hot romance ...i forced Damon into it while we were drunk...

Damon and I made out in such a way I can never forget...he was so good despite it was on a counter...I felt like I was in the clouds ☁️

?THE NEXT DAY?

I woke up on the floor at 9am...on a blanket...I woke up with a spinning headache...i couldn’t quite remember all that happened last night...i opened the blanket and saw my self naked...I immediately rushed to bath my clothes to get change...I saw a note of the counter...”PHOEBE I REGRET LEAVING YOU LIKE THIS ...LAST NIGHT WE HAD A VERY MESSED UP SITUATION LAST NIGHT...AM SORRY I LEFT LIkE THIS...

Everything rushed back to my memories...I made out with Damon last night...I did something terrible...I couldn’t help but to burst into tears..I grabbed my phone to call Derrick...

???????????????:hey Derrick good morning...I said with a shaky voice..

?:Phoebe you sound weird...what’s wrong...

?:Damon I did a very bad thing ...I messed up everything..

?:hold on tell me everything...

I was about telling Derrick all that had happened when I got an incoming call from Daniel...

?:Uh..Derrick I’ll talk to you later...I need to pick up this call...

?:alright take your time...

???????????????:Hey Daniel good morning...I need to tell you something...

?:it can wait...am at Ashley’s place right now...can you come over...Daniel said

?:Ohk sure I will...

We hunged up...I dried up my tears and fixed my hair ...I arranged the shop and rushed to grab a taxi ...

In some minutes i was already at Ashley’s place...I paid the taxi driver off ...and rushed to grab an elevator ?...

I was still disappointing at my self on what happened last night...I dropped off the elevator..and knocked at Ashley’s apartment...Becky opened up for me...

I walked in and the atmosphere were kinda tense in Ashley place like someone died...

Ashley was crying on her couch ?...

“Hey guys...what’s going on...what happened...I asked curiously..

The whole room was silent...

“Someone tell me what happened....I said

Ashley stood up and walked toward me in tears....

“Pleas Phoebe tell me it isn’t true....tell me you haven’t been seeing Damon...tell me you aren’t the reason I was humiliated in the altar...Ashley said with tears in her eyes and bitterness

“Ashley...??

“I also heard last night you guys made out...how sweet of you...Ashley said crying

How did she know...how did I get my self into this

“You’re probably wondering how we found out...one of the spies caught you guys together yesterday at your store when he wanted to grab a taxi...Phoebe I am so disappointed in you..becky said

“I can explain everything??

“SHUT THE f**k UP!!!!!!!???...I took you in like a sister...I got your coffee shop for you..I trusted you..you were my best friend..I loved you..I stood my you..I defended you..I made you my first choice..and this is how I get a thank you..you were consoling me the whole time knowing you were the cause of everything...you’re a bad person Phoebe...I hate you...Ashley said with tears

I couldn’t help but to burst into tears

“Am sorry Ashley...I didn’t mean any of this to happen ...I said with tears in my eyes

“Leave my house....Ashley said

“Ashley let me explain pls ??...

“LEAVE MY HOUSE YOU b***h!!!!!!....Ashley screamed in tears

“Pls Ashley let me...Daniel immediately cut in

“Phoebe I think it’s best you leave...I’ll walk you out...

Daniel held my hands and walked me outside the apartment...

“Phoebe you broke out trust...Daniel said

“I didn’t mean to...I said with tears flowing down my eyes

“The Phoebe I know will never do such a thing...I really hope you have a genuine reason...bye for now...Daniel said as he went back into the apartment..

“Daniel wait...????

Daniel left me outside...

I sat outside the apartment...cried my eyes out...my greatest fear caught up with me...if only I didn’t meet Damon...my life is officially a mess..

How do I move on...
