Weak For Him || Darkness Book #1 ✔️

Chapter 27 | Over Thinking

Stacey's Pov

Waking up to an empty bed was not what I wanted this morning. Rolling over on Victor's bed, I look for a note like normal and fimd one, reading it.

Gone to work babygirl.
Make yourself at home and I'll see you tonight
V xx

Smiling at the note, this is the first time he's left me alone in his house. Climbing out the bed, I make my way to his bathroom and do my morning routine. Peeing, brushing my teeth and washing my face before walking back into the bedroom. I pull out a t-shirt and shorts and make my way down stairs.
Looking for something to eat I just make myself some toast and decide to call Mia.
"Hey girl" I say as she answers.
"What's the plan today?" she says and I look around Victor's kitchen thinking could I invite her over?
"I'm at Victor's babe, he's gone to work" I tell her and she sighs.
"Of course you are. When can we hang out" she bitches and I raise my brow.
"Let me call you back. I'll ask Victor if you can come over for a bit to keep me company" I tell her and she cheers happily.
"Calm down, I'll call you back" I tell her laughing and hang up.

Me: Hey handsome, can Mia come over to keep me company? X

Hitting send I wait for his reply while I butter my toast and take myself into the living room.
I turn the TV on and I hear my phone ringing to see Victor calling me.
"Hey" I say answering with a smile.
"Of course she can, I said make yourself at home babygirl" he tells me making me smile more.
"Great because she's complaining that we never hang out anymore" I tell him making him laugh.
"She's not wrong though babygirl, you girls have fun I need to get back to this okay. I'll see you later beautiful" he says and we hang up. I click on Mia's thread and text her.

Me: Come to Victor's he said yes X

I send the text and put my phone down enjoying my breakfast while watching crap daytime TV.

"Stacey" I hear from the door and I jump up to answer.
"I'm coming" I call out and open it.
"Hey girl, I've missed you" she says hugging me.
"I've missed you girl, come in" I tell her opening the door wider for her.
"Isn't it weird being here without him?" she asks me looking around and going into the livingroom.
"A little but I've been here a lot so it's not that bad. I practically live here" I tell her laughing and she looks at me raising a brow.
"Don't fall in love" she tells me laughing and roll my eyes. Yeah, great.
"Yeah yeah" I say sitting down next to her.
"I met someone as well. It's nothing different but he's fucking hot. Like seriously" she tells me and I'm intrigued to say the least.
"Who? Do I know him?" I ask her but she shakes her head.
"His names Jason and fucking hell he's so good looking, Stacey" she tells me and I smilenat her excitement.
"Is he from around here? Do you have a picture" I ask her needing to see for myself. Not that anyone would sway me from my Victor.
"Yeah one second" she tells me pulling out her phone and showing me him. I think my eyes nearly pop out. Fucking hell.
"Oh my god. And you're just gonna treat him like the rest, are you crazy girl?" I ask her grabbing her phone and taking a closer look. He's seriously good looking.
"He's too sensitive for me. I'll ruin him, you know me. But the sex is great so I'll just keep it at that" she says and I shake my head, laughing.
"You won't ruin him babe. Don't think of yourself like that, you never know he could be your one" I say smiling and she coughs laughing hard.
"I doubt it but he says he has a brother called Liam" she tells me and I look at her needing to tell her about that to.
"I spoke with Liam. He actually loved me Mia like seriously" I tell her and she gawks at me.
"He lost his v card to you babe that's why" she tells me and I look at her confused.
"What? How do you know?" I ask her and she sighs.
"For one it's obvious and for two I spoke a lot with Jason and he told me about his brother being with someone called Stacey, it wasn't hard to put two and two together" she says and I look at her with a raised brow.
"Just don't fall for his shit again babe. You deserve better than Liam fucking Johnson" she says and I nod just to end the conversation. I'm actually getting sick of everyone telling me I'm to good for Liam!
"I know" I just say and she nods happy with my answer.
"I miss him" I tell her and she sighs.
"He's at work for fuck sake you'll see him later" she says laughing at me. But I was talking about Liam.
"Noo, I mean I miss Liam. The way he was with me, like the old him before he became a dick and all that" I say and she looks speechless. Jeez thats new.
"Don't be stupid Stacey. You have Victor" she says and I think of Victor and nod my head.
"I just miss him but I like Victor.. a lot" I tell her honestly and she awws me.
"You like him more than Liam. Oh my god girl I knew you would" she says and I laugh unexpectedly. I don't think I could love anyone like I love Liam. Loved.. he's in my past, I have to keep reminding myself.
"He doesn't seem to be anything like Liam babe, you have nothing to worry about" she tells me and I hum and just nod my head over thinking everything.
"I know, but what if it's like that all over again?" I ask her and she shakes her head.
"Absolutely not. He's nothing like Liam. Don't ever think that babe. You've got a good one" she tells me and I sigh, same response, different person. Why do I even try. No one will see Liam how I did. I meant just getting sex and nothing else..
"I hope so babe." I just say and my brain womders what hes doing. Did he go back to the bakery.. does he wanna see me again? No! Stop, fuck!
"It's going to be okay" she tells me and I breathe out a long breath hoping that she's right. I need to give my head a wobble.

***

Standing in the kitchen, I look though the fridge at what to make us for dinner when Victor gets home from work. Mia left not to long ago and i cant switch off about Liam and his apology, just how he was in general. It was.. the old him but not. A grown up response.
Jusy deciding on chicken, I pull out ingredients for stuffed chicken and vegetables. I wash my hands along with the chicken and veggies and begin to prep the meal.

***

"I'm home beautiful" I hear called out from the door as I set the table for us.
"Kitchen V" I call back smiling and he walks into me with a bunch of flowers.
"For my babygirl" he says and hands them to me kissing me affectionately.
"You really don't need to keep buying me flowers handsome, but I appreciate them, they're beautiful" I tell him making him grin and shrug his shoulder.
"I like buying you them. I'm just building up my buying with you.. You'll never know what's next" he says smirking and I slap his biecep playfully.
"I don't need your money Victor, I have my own. All I want is you" I tell him putting the flowers in the sink until I find a vase.
"Well you have both of us.. something smells delicious" he says looking me over biting his lip.
"Hmm, that would be our dinner" I tell him taking out the steamed veggies and turning the cooker off.
"Can I shower first baby" he asks ready to leave as he walks backwards out the kitchen.
"Sure, you go shower, but don't be long, I'll start serving up soon" I tell him walking upto him and he kisses me again.
"I'll be right down beautiful, twn minutes" he says pulling away and jogging up the stairs.
Ten minutes later I'm serving dinner and hearing him come down the stairs. Finishing up, I place them down onto the table with cutlery. Grabbing the bottle of wine, I get two glasses out and pour us both some placing them next to our dinner.
"Looks and smells incredible babygirl" he says coming up behind me and kissing my neck.
"It's nothing special V, just all I could think of to make in the moment" I tell him shrugging.
"You always fail to take compliments when it comes to your cooking" he tells me and I bite my lip. My bad.
"I'm sorry, my bad" I tell him and he nods, huming.
"It's okay beautiful, let's eat I'm starving" he says holding out my chair.
Suddenly his phone pings and his face drops and I wonder who it could be?
"How was your day handsome?" I ask and he just shrugs at me.
"Usual really, what you girls been doing all day?" he asks me cutting into his chicken.
"Nothing much, we baked some cookies, there in a tub if you want some after and just had a catch up talking about everything really" I tell him and he nods again. Did something happen? He's being weird now..
We finish up eating and I take both our plates scraping most of mine into the bin not eating and rinse them before placing them into the dishwasher and turning it on.
"You didn't eat much, are you okay?" he asks and I nod walking into the living room and grabbing his weed box. I need to be high. I can't handle his hot and coldness.
"Do you want me to bill you one?" I ask him not looking at him and he hums at me.
"No, I'll do it" he says and I know somethings wrong, why won't he tell me?
I take everything I need out and prepared quickly before rolling and sticking it together.
Sparking up, I hand the box over to him and let him do him and kick back feeling a little lost. I have Liam telling me he still loves me and all that and now I have Victor being weird for some reason. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
"Are you okay?" I ask him again as he rolls and licks the rizzla sticking it together.
"I'm fine Stacey. I've told you" he says a little harshly and gets up and walks out, jogging up the stairs. What the fuck? I don't even follow him giving him space and I order myself an Uber.  Clearly he doesn't want me here.
I grab my coat and bag and make my way to the door.
"Where you going?" he says standing at the top of the stairs.
"Home. You clearly don't want me here Victor. I'll just give you some space" I tell him and he runs down the stairs blocking my way.
"It's not you babygirl. It's me, I have so much going on right now, I'm sorry. Don't go" he says and I sigh out.
"That's what I'm here for Victor. Talk to me" I tell him and he sighs.
He leads me upstairs and into his bedroom where I see a picture of me and Liam sitting in the café talking. What the fuck?
"Marcus saw you with this guy. Who is he?" he asks me showing me his phone more and I sigh. Is Marcus for fucking real.
"That's Liam, Victor" I tell him and he sits down on the bed staring at the picture. There's nothing wrong with the picture, it's not inappropriate or anything it's just I'm with another guy so I know what he must of thought.
"I'd never do anything to jeopardize us, Victor. I love you" I say and smack my hand over my mouth wide eyed. Did that just actually come out. Fuck! What the fuck am I saying!
He stares at me without saying a word and I turn to run away but he grabs me again and hugs me to him.
"You love me babygirl?" he asks me quietly and I feel myselt nod slowly looking at the floor but he lifts up my chin looking into my eyes.
"I love you too babygirl" he tells me and kisses me with everything he has. It's different this time. Loving even. He actually loves me... Oh fuck.
