Delirium

chapter seven

Kayden

" how come Ophelia didn't forbid you to come back here after the huge scandal ?" Abel next to me asks the grinch as I'm driving to the club .

And the grinch just rolled his eyes , I look at him through the rearview mirror and smirk .

" you guys still didn't make up huh ?" I guessed and he finally looks back at me in the mirror, I can already see how annoyed he is by my assumption .

" didn't you guys make it up though ? Like you practically left Grace to go back to Ophelia after all didn't you ? In fact wasn't it Ophelia that ran back in your arms once she found out about Grace last summer ? " Abel started asking .

Blake's love story was always a mystery for us , him and ophelia were the it couple during high-school, until last year when ophelia spent her vacation in Europe after breaking up with Blake and he somehow took his time with Grace Cunningham, the complete opposite of his ex .
Ophelia was an energetic girl , she was like the sunshine of the school, always joyful , always helpful and a bit dumb but considering how Blake was surely not like her , the relationship got wobbly . Grace on the other hand , Is clever,  ambitious  , vicious , cunning and a total bitch .
Grace could have whatever she wanted whenever she wanted , and it had nothing to do with who her father was or who her mother was . It was just her , she was bossy , scary , admiring and extremely manipulative , one of the smartest girl I have ever met .
And to be honest I still don't know how Blake Ashford is still alive after what he did to her and how can he possibly still be with Ophelia when Grace is till left outside in the nature.
We never know when she can strike and at his place I wouldn't be in that much ease .
Grace Cunningham is a venomous snake .

" Why talk about a girl who's not even in town anymore ? She's in a total different continent now , so just fucking move on Abel " Blake sighed and Abel presented his middle finger to him .

" why are we going back to that strip club anyways ?" Blake asks .

Well because the love of my life is giving lap dances to other men while I have spent an entire year looking for her and I want some explanations, or at least a closure .

" Because I wanna have fun " I lie and Abel smirks at my side in the passenger seat .

" ouuuuh , just say one of the strippers caught your attention " Abel teased and I smiled  , turning left and parking my car a bit further from the bar .

" Bingo Abel , that's exactly what I came for actually "

" since when Kayden Peterson ever wants to have fun ?" Blake asks and we all get out of the car .

" since I found some new interest ."

" she must be really hot , would you mind sharing with your brother ?" Abel wraps his hand around my shoulder and I make a grimace as we all get inside the club.

" we can share all you want , except that one " I say and we are already welcomed back in the night time mood of the club .

A queu at the bar for the drinks , the neon lights hurting my eyes , a bunch of people on the dance floor surrounding the main stage of the strippers pole dancing , the overwhelming heat of the place and the crowded space .

I hate that .

" who's that stripper ?" Blake asks me and I ignore him , Abel had already left to find his own fun while i try to find her on stage but I don't recognize any of her features when I look at the girls up there .
