It doesn't seem that bad

*Husk POV*

The days following the "inconvenience" between me and Angel were very strange, Angel often left the hotel early in the morning to go to work and didn't return until late at night and I avoided him at all costs.

I'm not sure why. I wanted to be with him, I was sure of it, but I just couldn't. Every time I looked at him I saw his disappointed face after touching me, that 'you don't satisfy me' said in anger for which he had apologized at least 100 times, but which continued to echo in my head like the roar after a gunshot ; a shot in the heart.

Once I finished tending up the bar I went to my room, Angel was still at work, once I was lying on the bed I felt the phone vibrate.

Angel: Hey Husk, sorry to bother you, could you pick me up from work?

'Strange' I thought.

Husk: Sure, is everything okay?

Angel: Yes, then I'll explain, could you also bring me the makeup bag that is in my room on the desk?

Husk:👍

I quickly got dressed, took the car keys and left the hotel in a hurry; I know he said everything's fine, but I still have a bad feeling about it. I get into the car, put it in gear and head towards the Vee's studio, I speed through the traffic trying to reach Angel as soon as possible.

I finally arrive at my destination, I look around trying to find him among the passers-by, but nothing. I get out of the car and walk into the structure, blocking me at the entrance I find a couple of bodyguards, I pass them and start running.

I run until I lose my breath, until I see a dressing room door with his name written on it; I knock, nothing.

I knock again, I hear an arrogant voice coming from inside: "Whoever you are, go away, we have things to do in here" - I remain silent and start listening at the door for a few seconds, I hear thumps against the wall accompanied by moans, I can't tell if it's pain or pleasure.

I get angry and kick the door down. The scene that I find before me is horrifying: Angel is on the bed on all fours, behind him that fucking moth was pushing him hard from behind; they were both completely naked and Angel was burying his face in the pillow, biting the sheets trying to make less noise.

I was blinded by anger, I headed towards them and before Valentino had the readiness to understand what was happening I grabbed him from behind throwing him away from Angel, I took the spider's hand and dragged him away passing him the robe that was placed on the chair next to him at the door of the room. I could hear him babbling something, but I couldn't hear anything except my racing heart.

To take him out I had to punch a couple of guards; once we left I headed to the car, he continued talking, he had never stopped doing so since I arrived: "Husk I.."

"Get in the car."- I interrupted him in a cold and angry tone

He obeyed, he was certainly very shaken, but so was I.

I quickly started the car and drove off towards the hotel.

"Husk is not what you think" – he told me worriedly, squeezing one of his many hands around my arm

I remained silent.

"Husk I know what you saw wasn't pleasant, but it's my job"

I felt cheated: "Your job, of course! And what is this film called? I can't wait for it to come out and buy it!"- I told him in a cynical tone

He didn't answer me, just retracted his arm and placed himself in a fetal position in the passenger seat, waiting to get 'home'.

Once we arrived, I got out of the car, waited for him to do the same and then headed to my room without looking back; I took a cigarette from the pack I kept for 'emergencies' and lit it nervously.

I heard a knock on the door, it was clearly Angel, I didn't answer but he came in anyway: "Husk I'm sorry, please let's talk about it.."

I looked down, I couldn't look him in the face.

"Valentino owns me, I can't do otherwise" – he continued to look for excuses

I took another drag on the cigarette, slowly exhaling the smoke, and then looked into his eyes: "Do you like it?"

"Excuse me?"- he asked

"You heard me, don't play dumb; I asked you if you like it?"- I replied in a cold tone

"Val? NO God, I don't like Val"

"Don't lie" - I commented - "He's the only one who was there when you were alone, right?" - he looks at me astonished - "Your words." - I continue

"Husk, that's what I thought before.."

"Before what?"- I kept asking him questions to make him realize for himself what a great hypocrite he was

"Before you, before us..." he told me with tears in his eyes

"AHAHAH 'us'... what a funny word" - I said

"Husk I understand that you are angry, that you didn't deserve to see that disgusting thing, but you can't throw everything away because of this!" - he continued trying to make me see reason.

"It didn't seem like it was that bad for you to be fucked by him in the ass" - I ridiculed him

"Husk..I don't want this, please stop" - he wraps his second pair of arms around his body, as if in a hug, to reassure himself; he kept crying

I remained silent, I had nothing to share with this asshole.

"Please" - he knelt in front of me, perhaps hoping to arouse pity in me, but I couldn't feel anything but hatred, anger, disappointment, regret...

"I want you out of my room."- I told him in a cold and apathetic tone

"Husk I beg you.."- he continued to cry

If he wasn't going to go out I would have done it, I took the car keys and left the room.

"Husk..HUSK! Where are you going?"- he started to follow me -"Husk please don't go"- he continued -"We can solve this"- he grabbed me by the right arm before I could get into the car

I glared at him, he let go...I had the feeling that he was afraid of me.

I got into the car and I drove away, watching Angel slump to the ground and getting smaller and smaller as I drove away from the hotel.
