TOUCH OF SIN

Chapter Thirty Three

Wesley's pov:

I have never felt a feeling of loss so deep as I sat across from my dad in our dining table. I hadn't been able to stay at my mansion since the incident. My father had it under control and Leo was back to some mental facility they didn't wanna tell me about because I was sure to follow him there and kill him myself. My father rufused to tell me his whereabouts whenever I asked he just said,

"It's taken care off, he won't bother you again" I knew he couldn't tell me a thing. He was as stubborn as I was and we were so much alike even if he wasn't my biological father. I sank into my stool again and took a sip of my wine.

"I thought you said the girl is okay?"

My father suddenly asked as he too a sip of his water. He was kinda on a tight diet from mom and he made sure to drink only water when she was around.

"Why do you look like you did when she was admitted?" He added before I could answer.

I sighed and took another sip of my drink. How could I tell him that I had been an ass to that girl. And she wasn't just any girl. She was more and she had her claws deeper than I thought. I could imagine loosing her again after that night and seeing her lifeless body had almost broken me. I had to let her go, she was safe without me. I rather she stay alive and far from me even if it killed me. She was so sweet and innocent and she deserved the best. It was harder than I thought not seeing her everyday and the thought of never holding her in my arms was killing me.

Yesterday day night was my final straw. I thought I could do it. That was until I saw her walking through the door in Legend's arms in that breathtaking outfit. She didn't notice it but half the room was taken by her when she stepped into the room. My member had reacted immediately and I had to fight the urge not to take her our of there and rip that dress from her body. I had never wanted to punch my long-term friend so much till that moment as she clutched to his arm. That should have been me. I thought,but I had been an asshole to her.

But how could I make her understand that I was not good for her. She had almost dies because of me. When Lucian picked her up and twirled her around that was my breaking point. All I saw was red until I was beside the man in seconds. No one was allowed to touch her. Goodness I sounded like a creep.

The way she looked into my eyes had me almost on my knees. She was driving me crazy and she didn't know it. The way that dress complimented her curves and left less to the imagination had my pants in a twist. I didn't know whether to kill legend or thank him for bringing her to the party. He was in a habit of tormenting me he was insufferable. But it was all worth it as I looked into those charming eyes. All I wanted to do was kiss her  and so I did. And nothing had  mattered when our lios had connected. Her small soft body fit against mine and it was all I could do not to take her there and then as our lips moulded against each other. But the moment had been ruined by laura. And I had stood there torn between tearing her clothes and making love to her or keeping her safe. The latter had won.

I had accepted Laura's request to be her date for the night and I didn't think much of it. I could see the look of hurt in Sheryls eyes and I didn't even ease her pain. I let Laura drag me away like a zombie. Maybe if she thought I was with Laura she would stay away for good and she would be safer that way.

I sighed for the hundreth time as I went through work files in my office. I had been looking at one file for hours and I was about to give up and go jump off a cliff when my door sprang open and the last person I wanted to see strutted in like he owned the place and headed for the alcohol cabinet. He didn't even acknowledge my somber mood as he proceeded to pour himself a shot of tequila before carrying the rest of the bottle as he headed for the coach.

"You look how I feel"

Was the first thing he said to me as he launched on the office coach resting the bottle of tequila on the beside table.

"Thanks for the compliment legend, now if you'd very much get the hell out of my office." I seethed but he just ignored me and threw back his shot before flashing me his annoying teeth.

"You are in a good mood mom, Laura didn't give you some?" He scoffed and stood to pour himself some more tequila. He didn't care about the glass as he took a sip direct from the bottle. I wasn't gonna ask him why he was drinking himself in the middle of the day so I pretended to be busy so he could leave me the fuck alone.

After I left my parents place I had tried to call sheryl a thousand times but it all went to voice mail. I didn't know what I could say if she picked thou. I was a man in distress. Seth had reported that she had got home safe the night of the party and I hoped for his sake she was safe.

"Does your cheerful mood have to do something with that sweet doll?"

Legend suddenly said. When I didn't answer his face lit with a smile as he slumped into the coach again.

"Don't say a word" I warned when he opened his mouth and I swear I could read his inappropriate words from his medulla.

"Alright I wasn't gonna say anything anyway" He started and I groaned.

"All I'm saying is I seen the way you look at her and it's the most alive look have seen since Clara. You gotta get your shit together before it's too late  because for a man who runs a multimillion company you acting pretty childish" He lectured me and for a womanizer he really had good relationship advice.

I couldn't think of a clever remark to throw in his face and if that didn't make his smile grow wider. I hated that he was right though. I was the smart one between the two of us and if I was acting a fool for legend to see then I needed to get my shit together. I needed to get sheryl back but I didn't know how. Maybe I just needed a place to start.

"What happened to Clara wasn't your fault wes, she'd want you to be happy" He added as he poured himself another drink of the tequila. He really loved drinking it was a wonder he hadn't developed some cirrhosis of the liver.

"Why are you drinking this early anyway?" I asked begrudgingly.

"My favorite girlfriend left me can't a man grieve in peace?" He whined and I scoffed and shook my head.

He really was insufferable.
