Seek And Destroy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5 : Unexpected Outcomes

The date went horribly.

It all started like this:

He took me to this fancy restaurant in which he thought the coughed up enough money for. In the end, I had to pay more than half of it.

He took me out to ice cream later wards to apologize but after finishing the cone did he finally realize again that he had no cash.

I had to pay again.

He then walked me home and I told him harshly,' If it's going to be a date. Get better salary'

I slammed the door on his face. I know I originally offered him dinner but before he entered he told me that he would pay. Saying that the man only payed for the date.

What a man he is.

How dumb can he seriously get?

I might have been a bit tad harsh on him. Okay, a lot. He's not used to the city prices. A lollipop here costs ten times the amount in town.

And sweets were mighty expensive in town.

I can hear him slowly knocking at my door saying ,'sorry' for the millionth time. I let out a sigh and bit my lip.

I open the door.

He looked at me with his round puppy dog eyes; begging me to forgive him. He had promised to make up for it but I refused straight on the spot.

I never loved Billy.

And I never will.

Why did I push myself to go on a date with him? Why did I give him more false hope? Why was I soo cruel when he couldn't cough up cash?

'I'm sorry', I say, sheepishly,' I knew from the start it wasn't going to work out'

I needed to make a choice here. Be honest or lie. Honesty always works in the end but the lie always hurt less than the truth.

He'll just have to suck it up like the man he is.

' I never loved you Brody and I'm confident that I'll never will', I inhale a deep breath,' I wanted to make it a date just to be nice to you for what you were about to do to my mother. But don't worry, I've found myself another job. The pay is excellent and more than my earlier one'.

Exhale.

'I get it', he spat out bitterly,' you dated me for my money to be able to take care of your mother'

What?

'You're a slut you know that', he pointed his finger at me ,' Don't you ever contact me again'

He left; and I didn't follow.  Let him believe his own story and accusation; it would hurt less.

I close the door.

===========================

It was morning now and I didn't get any proper sleep last night. I felt the heavy bags under my eyes. Last night was definitely something I longed to forget.

But unlike a dream that disappears quickly; I couldn't.

I cleansed myself and wore a simply white dress. It was worn out but you can't notice it. It came right above my knees and it covered my cleavage.

I looked at the mirror and the respect I had for myself increased. I looked very decent and I hope to maintain that way till the end of the day.

I hail a cab to the palace. The driver probably thought I was some tourist; ready to take pictures of the castle but his mouth was wide open to see the security opening the gates to let me enter.
