"Well well well who do we have here?" I said as I put down the tray. They both looked at me and both smiling but different smiles Maxine's is her usual self-smile and this jerk right here gives me his unbelievably annoying mischievous smile.
I pointed the spoon at this jerk "What on earth are you doing here?" I asked annoyed obviously
"Gosh you UNbelievable who are you? What are you?" I said, still looking at him
"Are you freaking kidding me? You are not really going to say anything?"
He let out a chuckle
"Not really" he said with his oh so famous smirk
"Well in that--" Maxine cut my sentence short
"Pham--" I cut Maxine off
"And you" I pointed the spoon to Maxine "You owe me 4£ young lady"
"Marlowe Veronica Hamptons give it a rest come and sit down" Maxine said, gesturing the sit beside this stranger. And if Maxine Deighton mention your whole name, sit the hell down! If you don't want to be cooked right on the spot mmkay?
"Well would you look who we have here" this man said looking at me
"Well hurry because we still need to meet that boyfriend of yours." I said irritated
"We have some time" Maxine rebated
"Anyway who is this?" I said as I take a big sip of my drink
"This man" she pointed her straw to the man beside me "is Alden Ashcroft my BoyFriend!!!" she squealed. And true enough, He's an ash.
And Maxine almost took a bath, luckily she's not facing me. Then this so-called Alden laughed
No way
I faced Alden and asked "How? Maxine doesn't even guys like you! You're a jerk back then." I pointed to the counter
"Veronica!" Maxine shouted at me.
"What?" I asked
"First of all wow that was just plain mean. What do I look like?" He asked which made me feel guilty "Second of all damn, you speak fast" I raised a brow "third of all she likes me and I like her so?" he continued
"And fifth of all I am not a jerk. Nice to meet you Veronica Marlowe Hamptons" He said with a smirk. I don't trust this guy.
I'll kill this guy really.
"Not so nice to meet you Alden Ashcroft" I said with my right brow raised. So this is the game that you wanna play Ashcroft.
Maxine looked at phone and sigh.
"What's the matter?" I asked worriedly
"My dear father wants me to go to Belgium for some matter." She said to us and she continued "Great timing dad" she murmured
"It's ok you can go to Germany. That's pretty cool!" I told her trying to cheer me up
"Apparently, my dad wants to make me go there now! I don't have a car and Max apparently is on a conference right now." She said irritated
"You could bring my car." I said voluntarily. Bye bye for now red Chevrolet. Maxine's face lit up "Really?" She asked, I nodded.
"Thanks!! I promise I owe you one and 4£!" She faced Alden "Baby," really Maxine? "Can you bring Veronica home?" She asked, he nodded "sure honey" he agreed.
"Yay Thanks! Bye guys take care of my sis Alden." She took her bag and i gave her my keys and she left us, alone.
"So let's go home?" He said while smirking
"No way I'll just take a cab." I said as I stood up.
He grabbed me and said "No way in hell. Do you want Maxine to kill me" What the hell is wrong with this man.
I removed his hands off me and asked "OK where is your car?" I asked he smirked
He led us to his car. And drove to where I told him to
"Yeah just take this left turn and there's my condo thanks." I said feeling sorry of what I told him earlier.
Instead taking a left turn, he took the right turn.
"What the eff!" I screamed instead of stopping, he placed his right hand in my thigh.
"Get off me!" I said trying to remove his hands off me.
He did not remove his hands off me.
"What the f-uck you Maniac!!" Screw this b-astard I am calling my brother.
I wasn't finished dialing Brielle's phone number when this maniac stole my phone and put it in his pocket
"Not now baby." He winked. What the f is wrong with this man?!
"Stop this car or you're about to face some serious trouble mister!" I screamed at him. Damn straight I am serious
"Whoo I am scared" he said with his annoying voice. What the hell?!!!!
"OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW YOU SON OF A B-ITCH!" I said literally screaming. I would jump out of this car but I can't we are in a highway and I could and I will die.
He opened it and literally dragged me out of it!
"You come with me or you will not love what I could do" he whispered with a very scary voice. It have me the chills. He dragged me and I didn't move but it didn't stop him he pulled me to the elevator.
He opened the door and pushed me. God knows how scared I am right now.
"I will sue you." I said as I gritted my teeth
"Yah do that if Ethan Lennox would come here and save you." Tears started to crawl into my face. Ethan..... Where are you? Help.
"Stop" I said almost whispering. But he doesn't stop.
"Stop... Please" I begged. I felt my body crashing down. I wanted to scream for help. I can't. I only can here my sobs. But I have to be strong.
I punched him in his stomach and kicked him where it hurt most. He screamed but I did not care. I place my right hand to his pocket and took my phone. I punched him in the stomach he growled in anger and in hurt serves you right and took my shirt. Still sobbing I put on my clothes, hoping that he won't follow me, outside I ran, trembling. I took my phone and searched for Ethan's number while my fingers are trembling.
"Hello? Veronica?"
"Ethan" I said under my sobs I wipe my tears using my knuckles
"Are you ok? Is the film really that sad?" I didn't answer I kept running and running until I reached the playground I sat there
"Ethan I am at St. claires avenue. where are you?" I asked
"I'm at the airport." Then I realized that I would be a very unreasonable girlfriend if I would pull my boyfriend just because of my nonsense rants.
"You know what?" I said with a fake laugh way to go Veronica
"It's ok it's nothing important go to New York and make me proud OK? It's nothing serious." Yeah right "Bye I love you. Be safe." I said while tears never stopped pouring down my face
"Vero--" I hung up. I don't want to change my mind he's been there for me so many times already. He might have enough.
I sat there. I just want to talk to anybody. Like literally.
Ok. Veronica get yourself together.
I've made my decision to stay here until I am ready to face anybody until I finish all my crying. But now, I just need to let it all out.
"Veronica?" Someone asked. I didn't turn back. not now.
