"I miss you." I said into the phone. I heard her chuckle which made me smile.
"It literally hasn't even been twenty-four hours." I made a long dramatic sigh. I was laying down on my bed that was so comfortable. I had just woke up from my nap and it was around 9:45. Once I felt Skylars office I immediately went home and took a nap. I was worn out and sore. I tried to leave like five times but she always pulled me back in. At some point I down there passed out and she let me go home. Right now I am on the phone with Layla.
"Well is it so bad to miss your girlfriend?" The word slipped out of my mouth before I could process it. My small smile turned into a frown as the phone went silent. "Oh hell, sorry it slipped out of my mouth." I quickly said.
"Are you embarrassed by me or something?" I could hear the hurt and anger inside her voice. I thought she would laugh at this and start calling me her girlfriend for fun, but apparently she wasn't very happy about this.
"Why would you think that?" I asked. Of course I'm not embarrassed by her. She makes me happy and is down there my best friend. I like to show her off to people and brag about how lucky I am to have her.
"Because you seem like you don't want to want to be with me. I understand that you think that I would want to sleep with other people but you never stopped to ask how I feel about it." I sighed.
"Layla-"
"Do you want to be with me or not?" I closed my eyes and silently cursed at myself. I don't know if I want to be with her right now. I mean yes, she is amazing and I do see myself with her someday, but not now. But if I don't do it now I might not ever be able to.
"Yes I do."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for the time. I want it to be the perfect time."
"Madelyn, there will never be a perfect time. It's now or never." I sighed again.
"If I agree you have to know what your dealing with."
"I don't want this to be like a arranged marriage. Do you want to be with me or not?!" Two options, i think. I could agree with Layla and be with her. I can grow old with her, we can get married, have kids, just be happy, but she could find out about what's been going on with Skylar and Melanie, or she might not. Or I could say no to her and be lonely and a sex toy for the rest of my life. Or I could do the rational thing and tell her what's been going on. But if I do, do that it will most likely kill Skylars career. Ha, who am I kidding, it will kill my career. She will have all these freaking lawyers to make sure I go down with nothing in my hands.
"Yes. I want to be with you." Let's just prey to God that she doesn't find out. "But you have to promise me that you will never leave me."
"I promise."
"Layla-"
"Madelyn freaking Cooper would you stop! I will never leave you do you understand that? I will make the most perfect wife and treat you better than you have ever treated yourself. I am here, and I am not going anywhere, do you understand me?" My small smile grew back on my face.
"That's all I needed to hear." I could just feel her smiling on the other end of the phone. I know my decision made her happy but I don't know how long it will keep her happy.
"So, Madelyn Nicole Cooper. Will you be my girlfriend?" How did we go from business partners to this. I chuckled at the thought a little and smiled.
"It would be my pleasure."
**********
I sighed as I sat down at the bar with people all around me. Everyone seemed happy, excited or lucky. Or at least looked happy and excited that they were fin to get lucky. After the phone call ended with Layla I sat in my bed for another hour and just thought. I wouldn't say that my life sucks, its just complicated. I mean it's definitely not that I don't want to be with Layla, why am I explaining this constantly, you know the reason! Skylar and Melanie! They have ruined my life and I have no control over it anymore.
A youngish blonde came out of no where from behind the table and smiled at me."What can I get ya?"
"Do you have anything that can make you forget about your problems for a bit?" She smiled at me.
"Of course." The blonde walked away and I turned around to scope out what was happening. I haven't ever been to this bar which was odd. It was a nice place with beautiful lights and fancy tables. There aura in this place was very calming and it felt amazing. There were people everywhere drinking, talking, and dancing. There were a few making out which just made me smile, don't ask why.
I felt a presence behind me so I turned around. The blonde had put a red liquid with a glass cup in front of me. I took not another second to down the liquid. To my surprise there was no burning in my throat but I could taste the alcohol. I put the glass down and smiled at the blonde. "What was that? It was amazing." She put on her little smile and chuckle.
"It's a secret, and my secret." I smiled. "Would you like another one? It's on me."
"I can't let you do that."
"Yes you can. It's the least I can do for a woman as beautiful as you are." My smile faded a little as I just realized she's hitting on me. I have enough woman in my life right now and I sure as hell don't need another one. I nodded my head and she went away to make more of her drinks.
About ten minutes later I was more drunk than I have ever been. She must have put something in those drinks because there is no way I could be this drunk with those drinks. I felt a hand sneak up behind me and lips on my neck. For a split second I didn't know who it was but then I remember. This is her way of saying hello. "Are you seriously following me?" I asked slurring my words. She stopped kissing my neck and sat down on the stool that was to the left of me.
"No I was already here. I just so happened to see you walk in, and since then I have been watching you. It took all my might though to not come over here and slap that bar tender across the face." I started uncontrollably laughing while slapping my hand on her knee. She smirked. "You are really drunk aren't you? I like that." My drunk state took over me as I leaned into her ear.
"And what are you going to do about it." Her smirk soon turned into a huge smile as she pulled me into a long lasting and lustful kiss. Her hands trailed all over my body and grabbed my ass making me moan into her mouth. I felt someone staring at me so I opened my eyes. I saw the blonde staring at me with a little hurt in her eyes but more anger.
Once Melanie noticed I wasn't kissing her back the way I was she stopped and opened her eyes. I tried to look away before she noticed where I was looking but I wasn't quick enough. She looked behind her and saw the blonde, once the blonde made eye contact with Melanie she quickly turned away. Melanie then looked at me with anger. I cleared my throat and grabbed and my purse. "I think I should be heading home now." I stood up but was immediately brought back down.
"And why is that?" Her grip on my wrist tightened but I showed no emotion. Plus I'm still drunk so I really can't react to anything.
"Because it's down there midnight and have work tomorrow. Plus I don't think your wife will be very pleased with me knowing I'm late." I yanked my wrist out of her hand and made my way towards the exit.
When the air hit my face a small smile appeared on my face. I always loved the night, especially when it's warm. At the moment it wasn't really warm. It's the middle of December. So considering that I can say that it's decently warm. I took a deep breath as I made my way towards my car. Once I saw it, I smiled even more. I love my car so much it scares me. I pulled out my keys and opened the door. Once it opened it was shut by another hand. I turned around and stared at her.
"Melanie, can you not take a hint?" She didn't seem to like what I said because she pushed me up against my car. Her hand went to my hair and her mouth went to my neck. I don't know how but everyone seems to know that my neck is my weak spot. "Melanie stop!" I pushed her off of me to which she stumbled back a little. Her eyes met mine and I could see she ended up among a decision.
She pulled out her phone and started typing buttons. Then she held the phone out to me and what I saw scared the living shit out of me. There on the phone was a video of Melanie and me the day I slept with her. She had her head between my legs and I was moaning her name. She then put the phone back in her pocket and smiled. At this point I am fully sober and my heart was racing. "For now on you will do whatever I say and whatever I tell you, or I will send this to your precious girlfriend and Skylar. Now Skylar might be upset with me but she will forgive me sooner or later. You on the other hand, she will drag you to the ground."
Her smirk never left her face as I felt a tear roll down my face. I quickly whiped it as I looked at her. "What do you want?" She smiled as she came closer to me. She pushed me back on my car and her cold hands went up my shirt.
"I want you."
