Untamed

Chapter twenty-seven

Raquel POV
I sat in the restaurant in front of Nelly unable to eat as my mind kept flashing back to yesterday's incidence. The look of hurt and regret that flashed in Michael's eyes, which he quickly masked when I didn't respond kept hunting me.

He had roughly pushed me off his lap afterwards before heading towards the door.

"Don't get it twisted, you are nothing special," He had remarked before turning the knob to get out of the room.

" Ouch," I winced when Nelly hit my hand with a fork bringing me out of my thoughts.

" What is bothering you?" She asked concerned about my demeanour.

" Nothing," I quickly replied looking down at my plate.

" You have been picking at your food for the past one minute and you have not been listening to any of my ruts," She answered clearly not convinced.

We sat in silence for a couple of minutes whilst I contemplated whether I should tell her. The issue was eating me up and I decided to share.

" I have something to tell you, but don't scream," I said in a warning tone.

" I cross my heart, I won't scream," She eagerly said, her curiosity level heightened.

" Michael and I have been fucking," I rushed out, which made her eyes enlarged in surprised.
I quickly reacted and covered her mouth with my hand, her Jesus scream turned into a muffled sound.

She began to fan herself when I removed my hands. A typical move she does when something is beyond her comprehension.

" Since when?" She asked trying to come to terms with what was happening.

" Two days ago," I replied in a slow manner.

" Damn girl, I thought you were better than this, " She stated clearly disappointed.

" Why did you do that shit?" She demanded.

" I did it out of revenge okay, so don't judge me," I retorted and she suddenly went quiet when realisation dawned on her.

" But you could have done it with Frank or some other guy, Michael should have been out of the picture," She said in a soft tone looking at me with pity.

" I know, but I wanted to hurt my husband so bad, I wasn't thinking straight," I said, the thought of him making me clutched my fork tightly.

"I know that feeling," She stated starting to sympathize with me.

" It seems you knew what you were doing, so why are you worried now, " She asked, shoving her food in her mouth.

" Michael proclaimed his love for me yesterday, " I informed her a bit disturbed at the memory.

" Holy shit, you messed with his mind," She said in between a hearty laugh.

" Only a great fuck can make a guy like Michael confess his love in two days," She continued amidst series of laughter.

"So it was clearly sexual tension which was making him hate you," She stated still finding the situation funny.

" Will you get serious for once," I said hitting her arm playfully.

" I'm damn serious, you need to teach me some of your sex skills. I bet Tony will be buying me a mansion within a week if I become a good student," She said chuckling at the thought.

"What of him, how was he in bed? " She questioned tilting her head in a smile.

" Nelly will you stop it!" I playfully chided.
