Hey guys! Ok so I went on Pinterest and I found this awesome quote and it says, "I forgive a lot, but I never forget what's said or done." I think this is a completely true quote at least for me. And i think it works with this chapter really well. Comment what you think!
Lilly's P.O.V.
"Are you kidding me Lilly?!! You can't go back to him!" Nathaniel shouted at me. I had just returned home after spending my time with Leah and Ali. We had spent the whole day together and I forgave Thomas. I wasn't completely sure why he wanted me to stay, since he didn't like me. But Nathaniel was not happy.
"I can make my own decisions Nathaniel! I'm 23 for Christ's sake!" I shouted back at him. Nathaniel had always been a protective brother. Keeping me from boys and everything he considered dangerous. "Nathaniel please? Ali gave you a second chance. So why can't I give Thomas that same thing?" Tears formed in my eyes. Nathaniel sighed.
"Lilly that was different." He said.
"In what way? You hurt someone and she gave you a second chance. He hurt me and I'm giving him a second chance. Nathaniel I love you and I know you want what's best for me and that you want to keep me safe, but if you protect me from everything then I won't know anything. I won't experience anything. I need to feel pain. So I can learn from it and grow from it." I told him. Nathaniel then hugged me holding me close.
"Fine. He can have a second chance, but if he hurts you again I will make sure that he is punished in the worst way possible." I laughed when he said that and looked up at him.
"I know you will."Time Skip
I arrived at Thomas's mansion late that night and snuck in the house. As I was walking to my room I heard Thomas in the living room. I walked to it and saw him on a call. He was pacing the room and talking firmly. I smiled and walked away. As I left I heard someone running after me and turned seeing Thomas coming up behind me.
"Hey Lilly. You just coming back from your brother's?" He asked.
"Yeah I just got here. Let's say Nathaniel is not your biggest fan." I said smiling.
"I understand that. I did hit you." He looked at the ground in embarrassment.
"Yes, but I'm giving you another shot. But..." I twiddled with my thumbs unsure of how to put my sentence.
"But?" Thomas asked looking me in the eyes.
"Thomas, Nothing is going to be the way it was when I first got here. I don't fully trust you. Things will be awkward for me for awhile. I forgive you, but I won't forget what you did." Thomas seemed to deflate as the words came out of my mouth. As soon as I saw his expression change I wished to take them all back, but I reminded myself that he needed to know the truth. The all of a sudden he smirked.
"I understand, but I hope you will change your mind." He grabbed my hand and kissed it before walking away rendering me speechless. I glared at his back before turning around and making my way to my room. I shut the door behind me and plopped on my bed too tired to change out of my clothes. And as soon as I laid my head down my pillow I fell asleep.Time Skip
The next day I woke up at 6:00. I couldn't fall back as.eep, so I decided to get up and out of bed. I walked over to my bathroom and washed my face which helped me wake up even more. After that I walked over to my closet. I chose to wear some black leggings and long sleeved shirt covering up my butt. For shoes I chose some white sneakers.
My Outfit:After that I grabbed a ponytail holder and tied my up into a messy bun. (See picture for hair!) I looked in the mirror and smiled at my reflection. I then exited my room to go to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and pulled out some fruit, spinach, yogurt, and milk. I put everything into the blender and made my smoothie. (Ok I know the spinach part sounds gross, but when I put it on my smoothie I don't taste it. It just makes the smoothie more healthy.) After completing my smoothie I poured it into a glass and took a sip. Yum!
"No no no! Mark I need those shipments! Don't call me back until you get them!" I heard Thomas shout. He groaned aloud and made his way into the kitchen, stopping short when he saw me. I glanced over his frame. He was wearing a suit appropriate for work. "What did you hear?" He asked me sternly.
"Nothing. Just 'No no no! Mark I need those shipments. Don't call me back until you get them!'" I said in a mocking tone. "Oh and I heard you groan." Thomas released a breath in relief. "Should I know something?"
"No. Just work stuff. Things you shouldn't worry about." He waved off my question as if it was nothing and I brushed it off. I noticed how Thomas's eyes had drifted from mine as he over looked my outfit. "I take it you won't be leaving the house." A smirk tugged on his lips.
"Nope. Today I plan to relax. Draw, clean, and watch TV." I told him as I took a sip of my smoothie. He just chuckled at me.
"Very well. I'll take my leave. Please just stay out of trouble." Thomas said before turning on his heel and walked out the door. I smiled and left to my room. I grabbed all of my art supplies including my sketchbook, canvas, and paints. I brought them all outside and set up my stuff. I took out my earbuds and started to play some music. Then I started painting.
Whenever I painted I always lost myself in my thoughts and let the brush do the work. I'd get lost in fantasies that I had a perfect life with a man I loved and loved me back. But when I finished painting, it all went away. I was brought back to reality. That's how it worked. In my dreams I was living the life with no problems but in reality I was living the life with almost always a problem. I sighed and gathered my stuff. I brought my canvas to my room and set in on the window sill to let it dry. After I put everything away I walked across my room to the couch and turned on the TV to watch the news.Thomas's P.O.V. (Mature content coming up! If you are young, I suggest you don't read it!!)
"Sir you have a visitor." My personal assistant told as she popped her head through the doorway. I looked up from my work and motioned to let the visitor in. Then Sarah entered my office.
"Hey Thomas," she greeted trying to sound seductive. Sarah was wearing a white top that showed a ton of cleavage. She was also wearing a hot pink skirt that was about 5 sizes too small and showed off her ass. "I thought you would need a break from work," She said looking me in the eyes. Sarah walked closer and sat on my lap bringing her lips to mine. She swayed her hips as she kissed me making me moan in pleasure. I pulled her closer unable to break from the trance she had put me in.
Sarah began to slide down her top. I instantly opened my eyes and shoved her off of me. For some reason, kissing Sarah felt wrong. Gross even. Sarah now stood in front of me, her top pulled halfway down her stomach, showing her entire breasts. No bra was to be seen. Now I questioned if she had on any underwear. "What's wrong Thomas? Cat got your tongue?" She began to unzip her skirt.
"No. Get out of my office. I don't want to see your face here ever again," I told her.
"What?" She asked incredulously.
"Out," I pointed towards the door glaring at her.
"Is this because of that girl? Are you seriously dumping me for that witch?" Sarah scowled at me, jealously filling her eyes.
"No. This has nothing to do with Lilly. You are just a bitch and I don't need you," I told her standing up. Sarah made a 'hmph!' sound, zipped up her skirt, pulled up her top, and stormed out of my office. I sighed heavily. Why did I tell Sarah no? I have having sex with her for 2 weeks and all of a sudden, after Lilly gets here, I want to end things? Why?
That was the one question I never knew the answer to. At least not now, anyways.And that's it for this chapter! I hope you are enjoying this story as much as I am writing it. Also those last moment with Sarah was the weirdest thing I have ever written. Comment if it was good. Like the detail part and if you can visual it. Also forgive me if you found some grammar or spelling errors. I just didn't feel like proofing this with care. Thanks! See you soon!
