Fated Love

Chapter 12

"Tess please, come with.” I whispered.I was on the phone begging Tess to attend the Jackstone's thirtieth anniversary party with me that night .However, I didn't want Dean to hear that I needed a plus one. In fact, I had locked myself in the bedroom to make that call.

If Dean knew that I didn't have someone to go with, he would insist on going with me. Which would only create problems. But I really didn't want to go alone because My dick of a boss would make my time unbearable.

Indeed, I could not quit no matter how many times I tried to. I only stopped trying when kelvin made me strike a deal with him: he promised to leave Dean alone and out of everything, if I just stopped fighting him, which I agreed to. I had taken him to the hr, way too many times, and the nice lady, though respected and feared him, she understood me. She even threatened to tell Kevin's dad-That had Kelvin calming down, until he started being a dick again.

I still felt bad that Dean didn't know that I worked with Kelvin. He just supported me without asking questions-plus, he was too busy managing his many businesses that I didn't want to bother him. However, I was pretty sure and terrified that he would go bizarre if he ever found out about all the deceptions-I have heard him talk about Kelvin, and it has never been good. They were clearly archenemies.

After a long pause that had me thinking that Tess had hung up on me, I had her breathe from the other end. "No, Sharon, I can't " she just turned me down breaking, my heart. “I have a date tonight why don't you just tell your boyfriend already? You should not keep secrets. You know…” she reasoned but I stopped listening all together.

I knew what she was going to say next. You know secrets destroy relationships . She was right, I know , but what was I supposed to do? Even if I were to go back to the livingroom and interrupt Dean's movie time with the confession of my dark secrets, I still would not let him go with me. Besides, it would take forever to get over it and even if he did, he had his own commitments that I wouldn't let him miss because of me. Tess was my only hope.

I was feeling hot, so I got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom with the phone still against my ear. I wish Tess was in the same place as I was. Begging is just easier in person. I placed the phone away on the sink and threw water on my face. I was going to continue listening to her, but I saw a zit right in the middle of my face,so I started poking at it. It was going to be a while, so I went ahead and put my phone on speaker. "Tell him already." I heard that part.

" I promise to tell him when he gets back from his trip.This time, I mean it ” I whispere-yelled, whilst trying to squeeze the pimple. After many unsuccessful trials, I only ended up irritating my skin so I stopped. I moved away from the mirror and grabbed my phone from the sink.

I made it to the bedroom and sat down, "Just this time, help me. I won't ask you for anything else."I bargained.

"Okay. I will be there. This is the last time though."

"Thank..." Her line went dead even before I could express my courtesy. She really was angry with me. Sadly, I got up and unlocked the door. I wanted to go and hug Dean and cry for no reason, but I had a party to prepare for.

"Honey? Are you sure you don't want me to escort you?” Dean asked for the hundredth time as I came from the kitchen with more popcorns.-instead of wallowing, I had put on my pimple cream. Then I went down and ate all the popcorns Dean had.

"Don't worry baby, you need your sleep. Remember you are going to the plantation tomorrow, very early in morning. I promise I will be on my best behaviour.” I said dramatically putting my right hand on my chest. While taking the unnecessary bow, some popcorns spilled over and Dean picked them. I know I was being Weird but that was just because I was dealing with something. Normally I would share or complain to him about things that were bothering me, but that was not an option this time.
