bittersweet

chapter nineteen

David smugly sat back down, as causal as possible, joining Angie who looked rather bothered by his sudden change of mood. "what's got you smirking like that? and where the fuck have you been for this long" David couldn't help but chuckle lightly to himself, he rubbed his hand over his mouth, hiding his growing smirk to the angered women before him. "i just went outside for a fag, no need to worry darling" Angie leaned in to David as close as possible from the other side of the table, "if i find out you're lying to me, i'll fucking fume David...you understand?" Angie whispered through gritted teeth. David furrowed his brows in utter seriousness to her sudden outburst, it definitely deflected his mood that's for sure, "i'm not lying to you, Jesus christ Angie." Angie just eyed David sternly in response as she continued to down her Rosé, her aim was to become wasted by the looks of it. that wasn't a surprise...

"sorry about that, my friend called me when i was in the bathroom" to Louisa's surprise, Luke didn't seem at all concerned nor suspicious about her long disappearance, he just gave her a warm nod in response. "boy problems?" Luke chuckled as he took a sip out of his champagne, "something like that...yeah" Louisa also took a big gulp out of her drink, she needed something to take the edge out of her excitement to the dangerous sneaking she will be doing later. her stomach kept on doing flips whenever she darted her eyes towards David's table, they would often lock eyes and David would smirk cheekily in response.

"right then, shall we check out our room " Luke smirked, making Louisa slightly uncomfortable. Louisa just nodded weakly as she followed Luke's actions, with standing up from the table. it immediately attracted David's attention and he eyed them two sternly, a slight streak of jealously seeped through him as he watched Luke suddenly wrap his arm around Louisa's waist. David's jaw tightened in response, he wasn't even paying attention to his wife blabbering. Louisa went frozen from the touch from Luke, he lowered his hand just above her ass and she statically gave David an apologetic look in response. she suddenly became quite nervous under David's dominant look of anger, Louisa could practically see a vein bulging out of David's neck.

Luke suddenly planted a kiss on the top of Louisa's head, "did i tell you how gorgeous you look tonight?" Louisa smiled weakly below him, nodding awkwardly in response, she knew she was being watched like a hawk by David. "c'mon let's go darling" and Louisa shot one last panic look towards David, who radiated fury towards Luke, David's hands where practically bunched into fists.

he was touching his girl, no one fucking touches his girl. especially after now they have found each other once again.

Angie turned around to try to indicate what David was eyeing so angrily, "what you looking at?" David suddenly snapped out of his gaze as Louisa was out of eyesight from the restaurant completely. David felt sick in result.
"nothing Angie" David spat, causing Angie to take offence at the sudden outburst from her husband.
David continued to tense his fists at the thought of that posh twat touching Louisa, David just hoped she manages to meet him later, if she doesn't David would barge into their room and throttle him. the image of him fucking her and touching Louisas precious body with his dirty hands, bothered him deeply.
"you're acting very strange David, tell me what's wrong" Angie croaked and she shifted uncomfortable in her chair, conscious of their image in front of the many people around them.
David stood up erratically from the table, "i'm tired Angie, let's go back to our room, yeah?"

Luke still holding Louisa by his side, entered the room which seeped out wealth. it was grand, but the big, king sized bed stuck out to Louisa tremendously. she couldn't wait to join David later, especially if this is what the rooms look like.

"do you like it?" Luke walked in further into the room, smiling widely at Louisa, "it's lovely."
Luke grabbed Louisa's hand pulling her close to him, and looked down towards her smirking, Louisa tensed immediately. "you deserve lovely things darling" Louisa still couldn't help but smile awkwardly below him, Luke was a very intense person that was for sure.
Luke slowly planted his hand on Louisa's waist, lowering his head down to hers to connect their lips, Louisa freaked out mentally.
"w-what are you doing?" Louisa dodged Luke's attempt to kiss, and she slowly stumbled back towards the wall behind her, Louisa's heart pounded with panic.
Luke's face became stern, his demeanour changed suddenly, "that's not very nice of you darling, everything i've done to treat you well and you throw it all back in my face?" the sound of Luke's bitter, cold, sarcastic voice triggered Louisa's nerves tremendously. he wasn't just a pretty face after all, he was a total narcissist.
"L-Luke i said i would go, just as friends...you remember that don't you?" Louisa felt timid, her body language became small and she shook with frightfulness of the man, who smirked so devilishly towards her.
a chuckle escaped his lips, breaking the tense filled silence, "don't be silly now, you think i invited you here to a five stair hotel, paid over two hundred pound for food and drink, just so we can just be fucking friends? you make me laugh Louisa." he walked over to the shaken girl, who went pale with nerves and grabbed hold of her shoulders with both hands, "why don't you be a good little girl and let me fuck you? otherwise we are gonna be in a difficult situation aren't we?" Louisa's eyes went wild, Luke dug his fingers in deeper into her shoulder blades, causing pain to conflict within her.

she couldn't believe how much Luke fooled her, charmed her with his fake persona. she felt betrayed and she realised how much danger she was in.
she exhaled shakily, "o-okay, but can i just go to the bathroom to freshen myself up?" Luke softened his grip and a cocky smirk planted itself on his lips, he knew he got his way. "i knew you would give in, but i didn't except this easily...yes you can, but be quick. i'm hungry for you" Louisa felt her eyes gloss up with pure fear of the psycho man who smiled like a cheshire cat above her.
she trembled into the bathroom, locking sharply behind her and she collapsed herself over the bath tub, having a panic attack immediately.
her breath quickened, to erratic to control. Louisa felt herself drown within herself, she needed David. she needed David to help her.

she realised she was in flight mode to escape the scene, to escape the situation and she hectically searched her clutch bag for her phone. her hands shook uncontrollably throughout the search, a light sweat pricked up on her temples in panic.
Louisa heard footsteps pacing around the hotel room, Louisa suddenly froze as it became louder. she was weary about how long she was taking.

Louisa breathlessly searched for David's number, still mid panic attack, and pressed it without a second thought and she cupped her hand over her mouth to mute any of her speech.

"hello?"

"D-David it's me, you n-need to help me....Luke has gone m-mental...j-just come to my room quickly, i'm really s-scared." Louisa remained cautious of her volume and she felt like screaming with tears when she heard the comfort of David's voice on the other line.

"fucking hell, what room are you in, what room Louisa?" Louisa could hear David sudden panic on the muffled phone, she could practically see David's sudden seriousness, he was sharp with every word.
"room 104, second floor...i-im in the bathroom David, he wants to have s-sex with me...even when i told him no."
David cursed loudly on the other side of the phone, "don't let him fucking touch you Louisa, i'll be there as quick as i can....just keep breathing in and out baby, in and out." David started demonstrating a breathing rhythm for Louisa to follow, which calmed her hectic panic down tremendously, she heard David shut a door, indicating he was well on his way to her.

"hurry the fuck up Louisa, doesn't take this long" Luke banged on the other side of the door, causing Louisa to welp down the phone, tears fell heavy down her swollen eyes.
"he is fucking dead" David spat down the phone, he heard Luke's harsh words of verbal abuse, and David practically sprinted through every corridor. he ignored every question Angie threw at him, upon him leaving. he was fight mode, there was no way he was hurting his girl.

"D-David please hurry up" Louisa whispered, still covering her mouth as she shifted her body into a ball in the corner of the bathroom. David streaked with extreme anger, but he spoke carefully towards Louisa, he didn't want her to get even more frightful.
"i'm the other side of the hotel door now baby, i'm gonna put the phone down okay?" Louisa trembled with anxiety, she didn't want David to get hurt by the  mental man on the other side of the door, "be careful David please."
