Dancing with the Devil || Book 2

9

Sophia discreetly helped me exit so that there were no domestic violence headlines. She drove the Lamborghini to the nearest hospital so I could get checked out. I made her promise to keep Theo the hell away from me. I loved him and the stuff he was saying wasn't wrong per se, but he never listened to anything I said. It was in one ear and out the other. It's like he always made me feel crazy.

The doctors told me it might hurt for me to walk for the next week to month but my body would heal at its' own pace. They removed all glass remnants and told me that I have nothing to worry about. They prescribed me pain medication to take if I'm hurting then told me I'm free to go home.

Sophia drove me home since I can't exactly drive for a while. She parked the lambo in the garage and helped me get to the sofa.

"That doctor probably thought these damn heels broke your foot" she joked as she unbuckled my heels.

I cackled in response while she set my foot up on a pillow. The front door opened revealing a worried Ken.

"Theo sent me to check in. Are you okay ?" I rolled my eyes at his name. I just wanted to go one hour without hearing that goddamn name.

"Yes I just got a bit of glass in my foot. I'll be fine. But Of course he is too busy to come to me himself."

Sophia raised a hand slightly like a student. "I thought you wanted him to stay the hell away?..."

"Be fucking for real girl, that is just something you say. He is my boyfriend, he should be quite literally kissing my feet right now."

Sophia and Ken laughed in unison at my declaration.

"To be honest, I think you should call him. He has some news to share with you that I don't think you'll like"

I groaned. "How much worse could this day get ?"

I picked up my phone to dial his name anxiously.After a couple of rings he picked up.

"My baby girl- how is your foot? I'm so so so so so so sorry. I feel so horrible that I did that."

I wanted to be cold and petty but his worried tone broke my heart.

"You didn't do it on purpose" I mumbled to him while I fidgeted with some string on a couch pillow.

"I know but I should have never broke that vase to begin with. You're my love, Please forgive me."

I smiled at his sweet affections.
"i forgive you babe. Seriously..."

"Thank you. I'll make this up to you I swear to God I will. I'll listen and I'll work on myself. I never want to hurt you again. Not that pretty foot or even make those pretty eyes tear up."

"Sounds like you got a foot fetish" I joked.

Sophia made a stank face from the other side of the couch.

"Ew. What the hell are you guys talking about" she exclaimed, tossing a pillow at my arm.

"Oh babe, I got to go. Sophia is trying to pull a Theo type move and break my arm" I chuckled.

"Not funny" he replied playfully.

"I have something else to tell you"

I swallowed a bit dryly. That sounded bad.

"Okay?" I rushed him.

"So, I have to meet with another Company about the Cambridge plan. I have to get them to invest into it..."

"Okayy?" I continued.

"...well Nicole has school and now your foot is broken so I'm traveling alone."

"Woah wait you have to travel? Travel where?"

"Just one state over baby. Rebecca and I-"

"No fucking way Athello."

"I know. I know. I'm gonna fire her after this trip but I need someone to help set up meetings over here and now I can't bring you."

I sighed.

"How long will you be gone?"

"A week is all"

The line stayed silent. I imagine he was waiting for my approval but I couldn't help but be jealous.

"So you broke my foot on purpose is what I'm hearing?"

"Goddamnit babe" he laughed at me.
