Finally Grounded (Sequel To The One Who Grounds Me)

Chapter Forty

Taylor

I was furious! I thought that bastard had gotten the gist and ran. Instead of running he is sucking on her lips, as if he were a leech.

Gritting my teeth, I kicked my wheel tyre. Calm down Taylor. You'll have your revenge, but first you need to calm down. While you're at it. Go over and say hi. Downing the rest of my beer, I tossed the bottle in the bin.

Shoving my hands in my pocket, I sauntered over to the small group. The white, bastard eyes connected with mine.

"Would you just look at that." I spat, in a scornful tone.

Tiana's head swiveled around. "What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, in that chilling tone of hers.

"Observing." I turned my attention to the white freak. ".... I see you didn't heed my warning."

He just took another drag from his cigarette. "Mhmm..." A sinister smile graced his lips. ".... and I see you didn't heed mine either."

My fingers, wrapped around the ratchet in my pocket. I wanted to plunge this knife in his heart, but I had to be patient.

My father already told me that he would deal with this. "If you don't back out now, you might end up regretting it."

"Oh?" He crushed the cigarette butt on the sand. "Tell me, what exactly are you going to do? Do you honestly think that even after, I leave Tiana, she will come running back to you?"

"Yes besides, she cannot live without me. Right now, Tiana is not thinking straight. She is confused...." I looked at Tiana. A quizzical look was on her beautiful face.

My heart beat, accelerated in my chest. I wanted to hold her so badly. Losing her really opened up my eyes and I couldn't wait, to own her again. This time I won't ever let her go.... I will keep her locked up in my father's basement.

The only time she'll be able to see sunlight is when, she comes to visit my room for the night. My loin became warm at that thought.

Patting down, my pockets I removed the square wooden box from inside. Stooping down, I placed the box in front of Tiana.

She stared at the box, then at me. "This is a gift from my father.... it's like a welcome to the family gift. He wanted me to deliver it to you." I said.

Tiana scowled. "You cannot just come here and do shit like that Taylor. You're practically insulting Tristan in front of his friends. So let me, spell this out for you... it's, over between us. You need to move on with your life."

"No its not... have you forgotten all the wonderful times we've had. Tiana. I was your first everything."

"And I deeply regret that." She looks at me, in frustration. "Why did you come here Taylor? I thought we had already established that, our relationship was finished..."

Lifting my hand, I reached forward to touch her cheek, but that bastard grabbed a hold of my wrist. His grip was bruising. I yelped In shock.

"Keep. Your. Hands. To. Yourself."

I yanked my hand out of his. "If you know what is good, for you, you will end things with Tiana."

"Honestly I am tired of your threats. So why don't, you get the hell out of my face and run along. Besides I'm one minute away from snapping your scrawny neck...."

Tiana gasped. "Tristan, we talked about this!"

His eyes blazed with fury as he stared at me. Sighing, I stood up. Now is not the time to make a fuss. My father, will soon deal with him. "Tiana?"

She stared at me blankly.

"I really miss you.... I know I have been a dick in the past, but I promise you I have changed. I won't let you down... j.... just please sleep on it tonight. Think about it Tiana. We were such a good couple... coming from so far. We were unstoppable. Nobody could touch us....."

"Hey, this is a nice speech and all but can you get to the point. You're making me sleepy." The purple hair girl, leaning against the almond tree said. She took a sip, of whatever the hell she was drinking.

".... Tiana, I love you...."

"You've said that a dozen times Taylor. You played around with my heart over and over again. You broke me and now you're acting as if... nothing happened. Something fucking happened Taylor. You fucked up pretty badly.... I thought that I would never date again, after your many cheating escapades. Then I met Tristan, he was kind and gentle.... he is everything you're not. You know the biggest turn on for me Taylor..... he belongs to me and only me." She picked, up the box. "So please return this to your father. I won't be joining your family ever, because Tristan is it for me. I belong, to him and only him. I don't think he will be letting me go anytime soon. So please, stop stalking me and move on with your life."

I laughed. "You won't be saying that, five weeks from now." With that, I turned and sauntered away.

Their eyes, continued boring a hole in my back but I didn't dare look back. I just had to hold out for a couple more days. Soon and very soon.

Tiana will be mine again.
