Lily's POV:
"Why the hell did you post that?"I said almost yelling.
He shrugged and said "just to warn all the guys to not hit on you no more."
I rolled my eyes and walked to my closet. Skies carried us to my room and we slept in my bed. He was on my bed still laying with his shirt off. I grabbed a shirt and some shorts.
I went to the bathroom and changed. I put my hair in a high ponytail and walked back to my room. He was on his phone laughing at some stupid video that he came across on Instagram. I rolled my eyes again and walked to the kitchen.
I started making some eggs and a bowl of fruit. I cut the fruit as I placed it in two separate bowls. I grabbed two plates and served some eggs on both. I grabbed myself some water and I didn't know what Skies wanted so I just let him decided when he would actually leave my room.
I was gonna grab a fork from the drawer when I feel two strong hands on my hips. I smiled knowing the presence behind me. He picked my up and sat me on the counter. He came in between my legs and had his hands on each side of me.
He was looking at me as if I was the most ugliest thing on this world.
"Stop I know I'm ugly."I said.
He chuckled. "Ugly is nowhere near the things I would describe you as."he said looking at me.
I turned a deep shade of red and instead of wanting Skies seeing my tomato face I hid my face in the crook of his neck as I giggled. He chuckled and we just stayed like that for a little. I pulled away and cupped his face with my small hands.
I ran my thumb over his rose tattoo he had on his face. He smiled at me as I was amused by his tattoos on his face. He kissed me and I smiled in the kiss. I put my hand on his chest lightly pushing him away.
"The foods gonna get cold. Let's go eat and then return to this."I said suggesting.
"Sounds like a plan ma."he said helping me down from the counter.
We both grabbed our plates and went over to the sofa. We ate while we watched a movie. We both finished and I got up to wash the plates. I was washing them when I looked over to the sofa and saw Skies looking at his phone and his mood changing to mad. He picked up his call and walked away.
I furrowed my eyebrows together and I finished washing the plates. I turned the sink off and dried my hands. I tip-toed to where his voice was coming from. It was coming from my guest room.
"Landon it was a stupid bet. I actually got to know her and I actually enjoy being with her."he said.
'A bet? They placed a bet on me? But worst of all he placed the bet on me.'
As I got out of my thoughts he walked over to where I was. He looked at me and I just looked at him with pure disgust. One minuet he's kissing me and telling me he'll wait as long as it takes and then another minuet he's making bets about me with his friends.
He cupped my face with his large hands. I violently removed my face from his hands. He furrowed his eyebrows as I stormed off to the living room. I grabbed my keys and my phone.
"What just happened?"he asked.
"You. You happened and I thought you weren't this typical rapper who thinks he's the shit and any girl would fall for him. I thought you actually cared for people's feelings. I thought that you wouldn't be like all these annoying ass rappers out here. I thought you would be different."I said.
"But that's the thing. I thought it, but it would never actually happen."I said as I walked out the door.
'Please stop me... please stop me and say you're different... please tell me that Bet was a mistake... just please pick me up in your strong arms... please...' I thought as I was in the elevator.
And that's the other thing, this isn't Cinderella. This is real life. And real life fucking is a bitch and a pain in the ass. The doors closed slowly as they fully closed I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding.
I shook my head and headed to the lobby to get in my car and escape. I walked through the lobby and walked to my Range Rover. I turned it on and put the aux on. On the way I was reviewing the songs I had sung to see if they would be good to release.
I finally got to my escape place. The beach. The sun was setting and it looked absolutely gorgeous. I got out of my car and walked over close to the tide. I sat down and held my knees and just took deep breaths.
Who would've thought all this would've happened in the span of a week. I was stuck in my thoughts when I got a phone call. I looked at it and saw the name Madi💞💐. And that's when I forgot that I was supposed to have dinner with her.
I swiped to answer and I placed it up to my ear. She started going off about me missing dinner and our plans. I sniffled and she immediately stopped. And asked me where I was. I told her the beach and she just hung up right after.
I semi smiled and placed my phone on top of the sand. Another hour passes by and I'm still here escaping from my realities. I hear a honk come from behind me. I turn around and see Madi's Jeep. I smiled and got up and ran to her car.
She unlocked the door and I climbed inside. She looked like she was also crying. We both hugged each other and sobbed into each others shoulders.
I pulled away and said "you first"
She sighed wanting me to go first but she started.
"You know Landon Cube, if you don't he's this rapper or musician or whatever you call it. We hung out right after I left your house. We were hanging out at my house just talking and then he walked in and started yelling at me for having a guy over. Even though we broke up he was still mad. Well he slapped me across the face and Landon was going to punch him and I stopped him and pushed him out of my apartment."
She lifted her shirt up revealing the many bruises that looked almost fresh. And she turned her head to the side and I could see a red hand mark on her face.
"He proceeds to kick and punch my stomach. And right there and then I thought I was going to die right there. And he would get away with everything he's done to me."she said crying.
We both have been hurt so badly we think about when we're going to die and if when they come and hurt us, if we will actually die.
I just hugged her. She sobbed into my chest until she stopped crying somewhat. She pulled away from me and said "your turn."
I took a deep breath. "Lil Skies the rapper, the icon for millions. He chose me to play. And he did it pretty well if I must say. Because he placed a bet on me with his friend and he said that he'd be in my pants by this week."
I didn't cry since I let that all go when I was sitting on the shore. We both looked at each other and hugged until our arms hurt.
We drove to a Chinese place and ordered some food to take with us and we went to Madi's place to hang and chill.
And that's when I knew the only person who cared for me was my best friend. Madi.
