Craving him-The Secrets we keep

29- Dinner with Madeline

March 7,2021

"Why aren't you answering my calls son?" Elijah yells.

"Because I was in the middle of something and I'm not at your beck and call" he yelled back.

I can see the anger rising from Elijah's face. "Doing what fucking this gold digger? If you keep hanging out with trash you'll never reach your full power".

Blaine gets up from the bed and gets in Elijah's face. "She's not trash or a fucking gold digger".

"Yes son she is, why do you think she's with you?. You guys fight more than you guys are together it's called Toxic relationship and you both know it you just refuse to accept it".

I look at Arielle she looks upset I hate that he didn't this in front of her. "Listen you can do what you want with me but you leave Arielle out of it. Arielle and I are together and nothing you could do will change that".

He smirks "you guys won't be together for long, you guys are too different" and he leaves.

I punch the wall in anger and I leave a hole it in. I needed to release the anger. I know Elle is too good for me I knew it the day we started dating. But I can't let her go  I need her. I need her touch and for her to look at me with her beautiful smile that could light up the whole world. Knowing that I am enough for her is enough for me.

She walks up to me as I am huffing and puffing. She touches my shoulders and I pull away. I'm so angry right now and I'm afraid of what I would do if I released it on her.

She walks in front of me and raises her hands to my checks. Her touch calms me down . I wondered why Anthony and Riley didn't come in like they always did. We're they not home?.

She's just staring deeply into my eyes not saying a word but somehow it says everything I needed to hear. "I'm here for you and I love you".

She hugs me and I stand there for what feels like hours in her arms. Why is she so good to me?,I don't deserve it. Not at all.

Arielle was pissed when she found out I went to a party and got drunk. It was understandable but I just needed a release. My dad has been pressuring me to take over the business more and to date Madeline

He's been inviting Madeline to the house when I'm there and making us sitting in the dinning room and talk. I haven't told Arielle because I knew she would freak out. But nothing happened so I don't have to tell her right?.

I look down and Arielle on my chest. She looks so beautiful. "I have to go see my father".

She gives me a look after what just happen I think she's scared of another fight between the both of us. She never liked when we fought and she gives any excuse for him even though he refuses to like her.

I pull her into me and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "I love you for caring but I'll be fine" she closes her eyes and I walk away before she could open them.

I walk into the my dads office the room smell of cigarettes and alcohol. He was reading some papers on his desk. "What do you want?" I yelled at him.

He leaned back into his chair and looked up at me. "Your having dinner with Madeline today no questions asked".

"You know I'm with Elle yet you force me to be with Madeline and your love child".

He slams his fist on the desk "you will be having lunch with Madeline today no questions asked or else!".

He looked serious it wasn't best to argue I know I should call Arielle and tell her. But I won't. She will just come over and make it worse.

I get ready and shower. Arielle is calling me over and over I can't answer I can't lie to her. I walk out of the bathroom my hair dripping off to my shoulders. I decided on some jeans and a black plaid shirt.

I left my phone on my bed and walked to the dinner table. Madeline sits in a tight red dress in front of me with his boobs popping out from her dress to get my attention.

I avoided eye contact or even looking at her in anyway. We sat quietly until she said "so your going to pretend I'm not here?".

The maid puts the food in front of me first then on to her. I take a bite of the food and wipe my mouth with the napkin. "I'm only here because of my father request. Not because of I want you in anyway".

She smirks and I can tell she's planning something. "How is Arielle by the way?, isn't she moving for College?" I asked.

I gripped the edge of the table. I knew what she was doing and it wasn't going to work. "Arielle is fine and yes she is".

I take another bit of my food and she sits quietly. I could feel her hand traveling in between my legs. I grabbed her wrist "do it again and I'll make sure you don't have a hand".

"you used to like it when I teased you under the table" she teases.

I comment "yeah and now I tease Arielle under the table". I said it to make her mad and it worked. She stabbed at the plate of food in front of her.

The kid, her kid runs towards her. This guy is my little brother and I haven't tried to get to know him. She looks at him worried "what's wrong sweetheart?".

"I miss you mommy" the kid beamed smiling at Madeline. I never thought about having kids until Arielle told me she could have uterus cancer. It made me realize how much I wanted a little me running around even if it sounds crazy.

The kid looks at me then back at Madeline. Madeline gives him a nod and the kid runs up to me. He hands me a toy that now realized he had. "Hello?" He says while looking down at his toy moving it between his tiny hands.

"Hey little one" he looks up at me and smiles. I guess he thought I was mean or something like that. "What do you have there?" I ask and he shows me the figure.

It's Superman doll. I take it from his hand and fly it everywhere playing with it. It entertained him he was jumping around and clapping his small hands together. It's so cute and he's so tiny. What am I saying? I don't say things like cute.

Madeline calls him over "sweetie we're eating you can play with him later. I'll take you to your room" and they grabs him and held him on her arms.

She left the room and I continued to ate. Anna walks in she and Madeline pass each other. She gives Madeline a dirty look I can tell she's going to yell at me.

"What are you doing with Madeline aren't you with Arielle" she yells.

"Dad made me have dinner with her I'm still with Arielle" I replied back hoping she doesn't tell Arielle. Arielle just won't get it.

"So your cheating on Arielle?" She slams her hands on the glass table. She's angry and I get it she likes Arielle like a sister but I didn't do anything wrong.

"Calm down no ones cheating" I rolled my eyes at her and sat back in my chair.

"This looks like cheating, does she know about this?" She asked.

I stayed quiet and didn't look her in the eye. She walked away like the silence answered the questions she asked. Before she was out the door " your going to drag her down with you" and left.

Shit!

I walked into my room and there was a knock on the door Madeline walked in with a coat on. She closed the door and dropped the coat to reveal her naked body.

I didn't look at her not even once. I can't do this to Arielle I would never do this to her. I got up from the bed and picked up the coat and handed it to her. " you can leave".

"She's not the one for you, you guys both know it it's just a matter of time" and she walks out.
