And just like that I pull on my suit jacket and walk out the door of my room and down the stairs like a boss. Never got that saying till right now and I'm two steps from the garage when Mom calls after me and I stop to address her.
"Guy are you going to be back for dinner," Mom asks and I know others are listening in.
"I have a meeting and I'm running behind picking them up," I am polite to Mom; she's not the problem in the house.
"Well are you going to be back this evening," Mom asks and I shake my head," Honey I know you are trying to be your own person and I love you but there is room for mending things with the rest of the family."
"Maybe but not today, I have more important things to do," I tell Mom before giving her a kiss on the cheek.
In the garage, in the car and down the road leaving the family and my new/old family behind me for now I have to wonder why does Mom want to complicate our finally good lives?
More important things.
Like what, Jenna 'the cunt'?
Don't underestimate him.
I am just over an hour from when I pull up to Jenna's house and make my way to her front door. I wait after knocking for a moment when Jenna answers and I must smile at her taste. She did her hair and makeup in a simple manner with cascading curls and red lips but her dress. Full length, dual shoulder straps on each shoulder, skirt split up to mid thigh and the color almost like my car's wine red.
"Daddy I'm going to be out with a friend," Jenna calls to her father who barely pays attention most days," You look amazing."
I have on my smoke black suit with a straight black shirt and red silk tie and doing my hair took five minutes where hers probably took forty. I walk her to my car and get the door before gently closing it after her and walking around to the driver side. I let the engine roar a little before heading down the road to somewhere nice. It's late afternoon so I settle for the Hilton Hotel, yes the one Paris's grandfather owns, and have the valet park my car after giving him a twenty so that my car is parked and not screwed with. Jenna takes my arm and we walk into the Hilton Restaurant and we're directed to a circular table and the server pulls out a chair for Jenna letting me get my own chair across from her. We're sitting for only a few moments when menus are brought and we're looking through when we're asked if we want anything from the wine menu.
"I'm going to have to pass on alcohol this evening and every evening for the next 2 years and some months," I joke and the waiter actually gets the joke.
"Thank you sir, we don't like having to card the customers," he jokes back and this is actually funny.
Simple drinks are ordered and we browse the menu quietly till he returns and we order. I don't tell Jenna what she can and cannot get, we simply order and wait. I thought talking would come later but I was wrong.
"So this is our first date," Jenna says with a chuckle and I don't laugh.
"Not really," I reply evenly.
"It is for me, I was so caught up in Brandon coming back and picking up our relationship that I put you in the friend zone," Jenna admits and I give her a slightly nasty look," I know and I'm sorry. I can say with some truth that I didn't deserve you as a friend."
"Well here we are, not friends or anything else really for that matter," I state and she gives me a questioning look.
"Then why dress me up and take me to an expensive hotel and restaurant," she asks and I smile," Okay so you're planning something for me."
"I'm going to open your eyes," I reply and smile with a little teeth to show.
"Why do you do that," Jenna asks and I shrug," No I mean the teeth. You smile like everything is happy then you turn it into 'I'm a predator happy and I'm going to go kill some defenseless bunnies'. Why do you do that?"
"Because what is normal for a spider is chaos for a fly," I reply and she shakes her head chuckling.
This is going to be so fun.
All this for a seduction of a female not worth his time or effort?
Whoever said seduction, he's going to tell her what he did and then walk.
Wait, are you serious, you magnificent bastard?
Little joys, little joys of life.
We talk about basic things and I discover that she is asking me more questions about what I like and trying to take an interest in my things. It is kind of funny that she is now, months later, trying to learn who I am. We eat, we talk some more, we pass on a dessert and I figure it's time to take this conversation to a better location. I call the waiter over and tell him quietly what I need and he nods before rushing off to get them. It takes a minute and I have a courtesy clerk at my side and I hand them my personal card through Mr. Delauter and give her a simple request before getting a nod and she leaves all the while Jenna is looking at me wondering what I have planned. The clerk returns with a bill and key card for the room I just paid a night for and Jenna is more than a little curious as to what I have planned, sadly it's not going to be the festivities she was hoping for.
"Let's go somewhere a lot more private so I can answer your questions," I tell Jenna standing up and move around pulling out her chair for her.
We walk to the elevator with Jenna's arm wrapped around mine and I smile, this is going to be a major twisting of the knife when I'm done. We ride up to our floor and a short walk down the hall I get my room open and let Jenna in. It's a large suite with big glass windows facing south; there is a purpose to that, and a large queen sized bed. There is no purpose in that. I take a chair from the little sitting table as Jenna takes in her surroundings. I smile and wait as she looks at the city skyline and shrugs her shoulders.
"Okay so here we are," Jenna says, not sure what to expect.
"I did it," I tell her and she shakes her head in confusion," I knew he was cheating on you, Brandon I mean. I set it up so that he'd screw Hector's girlfriend and I recorded it. I also found out who his regular side girl was and made sure she showed up to stake her claim on him. All this I did not only because I wanted to hurt people, I did it because I could."
"Wait… hold on, you knew he was cheating and you helped him screw another girl," Jenna asks sitting on the bed in shock," And you set up this other girlfriend to cheat on her boyfriend why? You were the nicest person I'd met."
"Well people need to suffer. I know about that better than most considering my life has been a long litany of suffering at the hands of others," I say with a smile pulling off my suit jacket.
"But even though I was nice to you and Brandon wasn't that mean," Jenna tried to defend her position but I cut her off.
"Hell with Brandon, I did what I did and made sure you felt it so you could know what it was like to have your life broken. I wanted you to feel pain and suffer under it. You took happiness from me and so I took your perfect little life plan and turned it on itself and now I am telling you this because I'm done with you and Brandon. I did everything I set out to do," I explain pacing back and forth, also I feel great.
Almost done, then we leave.
"So you tell me now because," Jenna asks and I just smile at her," Because it doesn't matter what I think."
"Very good, wasn't sure you'd pick up on why that quickly," I remarked and she shifted in her seat on the edge of the bed.
"So what do you do now," she asks and I look out the window.
"I wait for it all to burn and watch as it does," I look down on the city and smile as Jenna sits nervously behind me.
"What do you plan to do with me now," she asks and I shrug," You're just going to leave me here like this?"
"Why should I spend more effort than I already have on you? You don't like me; you liked using me but actually liked me? I think not. I see you for who you truly are and I'm content with where life has left you," I state turning and holding my arms out to the room," An empty room you can't fill with friends, can't afford with money and no way back home."
I grab my coat and sling it over my shoulder as I walk past the bed towards the door. I feel great and she's devastated.
Told her off…
Like a boss.
Walking out…
Like a boss.
