The Queen and the Slave

Chp 4- I don't wanna see you with him

Lydia's POV

I don't wanna see you with him.

I sat on the L sofa tiredly.

Stephanie knew how to make a chick tired, the girl made me shop until I couldn't take it anymore, even her bags were heavy and all she had to do was simply order me around and I would sing like some mockingbird.

Took five or six hours to arrive with her bags and even carry them upstairs to her room. I most certainly not going to let my guard down... never.

I was literally panting and what made it worse was that Pearl's little host was in the room, he was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed and books all around him but to my utter annoyance, he was looking at me but I didn't say anything or ask.

"Hello?" He finally said after a few minutes and I resisted that edge of walking over to him and just slapping him.

"Yeah." I forced out and felt my eye twitch. Pearl just had to leave us here, she just had to leave me alone with her lover like it wasn't a damage.

I mean she didn't know what she was doing to me but she didn't have to make a broken heart more damaged than it already is.

I didn't want to look at him. What was more sickening was that the branch here in Creak knew little by little about Pearl's host and it would soon reach every Python member including their father...damn.

I didn't want to see those eyes... the eyes that have Pearl turn soft and fluffy like a fucking bunny instead I was going to drink again because the emotions of Pearl being mine were coming up again.

I didn't want to feel them, I wanted to be numb from the feeling which was why I willingly accepted to go with Stephanie to her shopping and being a human cart, when Pearl started to defend me. I just didn't want to be in a room where Pearl will be throwing her head at his feet and worship him.

The shopping with Stephanie numbed the feeling and alcohol including sleeping with some stranger made me forget, but this idiot's voice returned all that.

Neddy's voice brought back the thoughts of Pearl not being mine, it brought back that reminder that she can never be mine but looking at his face was worse.

It always happens that the one you fall in love with might not love you at all or even cherish you.

That was Pearl... I only became her slave because I loved her... needed her, adored her but to her I was just a fucking tool.

"So...um you're that girl I saw when i returned to apologize to Pearl." He said and I simply hummed.

I was relaxing on my back and my eyes were looking straight at the pale white celling.

"Are you her friend?"

I wish she saw me as more, I wish I wasn't.

"Yes."

"So why are you a slave then?"

"Unseen issues."

"Ain't friends supposed to be equal?"

Shut up you crush stealer

I didn't answer him and shit did the boy ask questions like there's no tomorrow. The door opened but I didn't look up at Pearl who had entered but I could feel irritation boil from her.

"Lydia why the fuck would you leave with Stephanie?"

"Hello Pearl... yes I did have a very tiring day. How was yours?" I said instead hearing Pearl make a rude noise. I sat up straight and looked at Pearl who was currently sitting near neddy.

Of course, break my heart further sweetie.... I don't mind.

"This is why you tired bitch." Pearl stated before running her hand in Neddy's hair but her eyes stayed on mine and it felt like she was mocking my feelings.

I said nothing though and frowned a little bit as my mind wondered on why hasn't Pearl kicked me out of the room.

''Tangible... I don't feel like you safe in Blossom's house, I was thinking you move in here. After all you're my host."

My heart dropped.

"Sure but I will have to visit her."

"Of course tangible." Pearl replied with a voice so soft that I resisted to grimance. She never talked to me like that.

I watched with a pained heart as Pearl layed her forehead on Neddy's and he responded by smiling. Both of them sucked in their world again and it hurt to just look at that small exchange. Their eyes held and regardless of Neddy's healing bruised cheek and the bandages wrapped all over his chest and leg, Pearl still looked at him like he was brand new.

I felt my eyes water as I looked at Pearl's forehead on top of Neddy's and how their eyes looked at each other including how they whispered those three damn words.

"I love you."

"I love you."

The tears fell down before I whipped them quickly and stood up before leaving them as quietly as ever. The moment I closed Pearl's room, I ran as fast as I could and when I reached the guards I tried to act like a slave even though my hands were shaking.

"I have been requested by lady Pearl to fetch her a few things." I lied and the guard nodded before opening the gate. I fake smiled before stepping outside the Kane's fancy house and ran.

I ran and ran even though my feet felt tired. Even though my breath laboured, even with the society looking at me.

I finally arrived at the Kisses club before passing all the people who were standing the long line and the build man who stood at the door made room for me so I passed through before he returned on doing his job.

I passed through dancing bodies even though it was still about five pm this club was on a roll. I walked to the VIP section before walking to the dark skinned man who had green eyes along with a beard. He wore a fancy suit while a girl twerked on him.

"Ahh Lydia," he greeted before spanking the chick and she responded with a giggle "fetch daddy a drink and bring a strong one for my friend."

The chick left as I sat down on the leather sofa.

"I assume work was hard." He said and I nodded. I didn't tell him I was involved with a gangster squad just that I worked as a cleaner and was in love with the daughter of the house but she loved someone else.

"Gosh Michael... I don't wanna see his face, the way she was resting in his embrace just isn't right you know." I said as the image of their foreheads connected came in mind along with blurry eyes and Michael immediately rubbed my shoulders as a sign of comfort.

"Ah the pain of loving someone."

"I know."

"What are you planning to do then Lydia."

"Am going to drink and fuck someone."

Michael grinned before snapping his fingers and a group of females came, looking sexy and half naked.

"So my lesbian friend..shall we enjoy the moment."

"Bring it on."
