Cytheria’s pov
–
“Where have you been” Richie gritted through his teeth
I barley made my way past the front door, his eyes were dark. Richie sat on the couch with his unbuttoned shirt, his hair seemed messy as his eyes narrowed towards me.
All he needed was half a glass of whiskey and he’d be a typical abusive guy from movies.
“I don’t have to tell you that”
“I sent a car for you to come to MY interview” he said
“Well I had other things to do”
“You’re supposed to be at my interview. Where the hell were you” he grinded his teeth against each other, I could tell that he was pissed.
But could you blame me for wanting to go anywhere else than with him after the way he acted?
Besides, I needed to talk to Luna. She’s far more important than he’ll ever be.
“That’s none of your business” I spat, my fingers undid my heels as I tossed it into the corner of the room
I walked forward and brushed past the man’s shoulder, only to have him grip my wrist and tug me closer
“Let go of me Richie” I spat
“Tell me where you were” he hissed
“I don’t need to fucking tell you anything, now let go of me” I gritted
“You were with her weren’t you” he asked with furrowed brows
“Who?” I teased
“That girl that keeps popping out of nowhere!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Were you with her or not!” he yelled, his grip on my wrist clenched even tighter
“Richie you’re hurting me” I groaned
“It was her wasn’t it?!” he yelled
Our eyes locked and I stared into his furious brown orbs, his teeth grinded against his tight jawline
On cue, a buzzing sensation came from my hands. I glanced down and noticed that my phone was ringing, Jeff thank God.
“Hello?” I answered, Richie immediately released his grip and stepped back
“Where the fuck were you!” he yelled, I rolled my eyes
“Just what I needed, another man asking me about my whereabouts”
“Fortunately I’m the man that runs your life, now answer me”
“I was having dinner with Luna” I mumbled, he’d find out either way
“What did I tell you Cytheria, WHAT THE HELL DID I TELL YOU”
“I had to” I mumbled
“Do you even know her?”
“Yes”
“Who is she”
“Someone I knew” I lied, honestly she was the most important person in my life. Now I just don’t know what to think anymore
“Then cut it out! She’s the past now leave her in the past”
“Some people we just can’t leave behind”
“Cytheria, you breached the contract today and now there’s drama channels that have a photo with you and her at dinner, do you have any idea what’s gonna happen now!” he yelled. I mentally cringed as I remembered a camera flashing in the restaurant
“I wouldn’t expect you to understand Jeff”
“Understand what?!”
“I just had to okay? I had to talk to her about some stuff that happened and I don’t regret it at all” I mumbled, I felt Richie’s eyes on me
“That’s it, you’re done. You’re laying low until I say so. You’ll be back in the public eyes until next week, got it?” he said, I sighed
“Got i-” I mumbled, the call was then dropped. I groaned and tossed it into the couch before plopping my tired body on it
“This is ridiculous” Richie shook his head in disbelief
“Can you just stop? This isn’t about you right now”
“It is! You blew me off!”
“My career is on the line right now, so just shut the fuck up and leave me alone” I spat, honestly I was getting tired of this shit
“A random girl, a random fucking girl walks into your life and suddenly I’m the bad guy” he yelled.
My chuckle came low and few, it was soft until it started to rise into fits of hysterical laughters. My lungs started to burn as I laughed harder. He really just said ‘random girl’
Maybe it was all of the alcohol now kicking in.
Richie looked at me in disgust, puzzled by my reaction
“You’re crazy aren’t you?”
“Oh believe me, she’s not some random girl” I said
“I’m pretty sure she is. Wait, are you drunk?”
“She’s the devil’s daughter” I smirked, Richie furrowed his brows
“What kind of role-playing is this?” he asked
“You better be careful how to talk to her, she doesn’t have that understanding on what a crime is. She’d really kill you” I laughed
“Is that a threat Cytheria?” he asked
“No. But if she wants her own mother dead then she wouldn’t hesitate to kill you” I smiled sweetly
“So you’re hanging out with a Physcopath, that explains why you’re acting like this. You know what? I’m not staying here tonight” he said, Richie grabbed his blazer and tossed it over his shoulder
“Where are you going?” I questioned
“I’m staying in a hotel tonight until you set your mind straight”
“Oh that’s funny, you think I’m straight” I snickered lowly
“What was that?” he asked as his hands gripped the door knob
“Oh nothing” I smirked
“Whatever Cytheria, goodnight” he spat. The door slammed, it echoed through the house and pierced through my ear
“That’s gonna cause a headache tomorrow” I groaned
My body settled into the couch, my head rested on the arm rest as I sighed. My hand gripped my phone as I stared at it.
I remembered once having Luna and I in Paris as my lock screen, it was a time when life was far simplier
“We were so perfect, why did things had to change?” I whispered to myself
I honestly wondered what my life would have been like if Medusa’s bitch ass didn’t start a war in hell and made Sarah write a book 2
Maybe I’d still be studying business and Luna would be off in college learning science and whatever the hell she needs to know about the human body Or maybe I’d settle as a housewife with zero children because Luna and I hated kids.
I wondered what our wedding would have been like. Would she wear a suit? She probably would to show off her top energy.
I chuckled to myself at the thought.
I’d definitely be the one to plan everything, I’ve always imagined my wedding in the church of St Mary’s ever since that visit. If gays made out in a church then they should definitely get married there. I guess I’d wear a long lacey dress that had a massive trail. The poor photographer would have to fit all of that in. I chuckled once again at the thought.
My thumbs rubbed my screen as I pressed Dreama’s number, the girl immediately answered the call
“Cytheria?” she asked
“I’m. Tired” I muttered
“What’s wrong?”
“She talked to you didn’t she?” I asked
“Yes, she talked to everyone” Dreama answered, I sighed loudly
“I don’t know what to do Dreama” I mumbled
“What do you mean?”
“About this situation. So many years of crying, I lost myself when she left and now she’s back. For years I thought the worse, I thought she faked her happiness, I thought so many things Dreama. My mind went to dark place, dark places that it’s hard to recover from and I honestly don’t think it’s ever recovered. Now she comes back and gives her reason, it’s so fucked up what happened. I literally can’t believe someone could be so evil to destroy her own daughter’s life, her happiness. But it doesn’t mean I could just drop everything Dreama, there’s so much at stake. I’m different, everything’s different… But everytime I see her, my God I just want her so bad Dreama. I can’t stop thinking about her, her smile… The way she rolls her eyes when she pronounces a word wrong. Dreama I’m so exhausted, my manager has been on my back everyday, Richie is going insane, I really don’t know what to do anymore” I sighed. Damn that was alot
“I understand what you’re saying. I honestly don’t know why the fuck her mother is still alive, someone needs to behead that snake” Dreama spat
“Woah there bounty hunter”
“I’m serious! She’s the reason for so much downfall, Luna was hurt. Luna was physically and emotionally hurt and she herself haven’t recovered from it all yet” she said. I felt my heart sink into my chest
“Is she… Is she really still hurt?” I mumbled
“She pretends is doesn’t but we all could see it. It’s shaken her up to be back here, remember she was asleep for a really long time. To just wake up and everything’s changed, it messes with you Cytheria” Dreama muttered, I squinted my eyes shut as the dark emotions washed through my veins
“Who is that? Is that Cytheria?” a voice rang through the phone
“Hi Cole” I chuckled
“Sup bitch. Shouldn’t you be at the restaurant?” he asked
“My manager found out, I had to get away from there before shit got out of control”
“Did she tell you?” Cole asked
“…Yes”
“How are you feeling about that?” he asked
“She’s not taking it well, who could blame her. They’ve both been through some shit” Dreama said
“Here’s what, let’s have a sleepover two days from now because I have some stuff to do tomorrow”
“A sleepover in two days. Hmm”
“Are you busy then?”
“No. My manager told me to lay low so I have time now” I said
“Great, so we’ll arrange everything and you could bring your sexy self over” Cole said, I chuckled
“Sounds good… But… Will Luna be there?” I asked
“Do you want her there?” they asked
It’s her friends, I can’t make them not invite her but right now I just needed to clear my mind and think. I just needed to have a small talk with my friends without any distractions of the girl
“No” I mumbled
“Then it’s settled, she won’t be there”
