The Queen and the Slave

Chp 16 - An interesting car ride

A/N: Sorry for the slow updates. I've been lacking Motivation to write any of my books, but I gotta keep going:-D. Anyway I've published a new book named (My stepbrother's a vampire). Y'all can check it out if you want and enjoy the few chapters I could give.

Lydia's POV

An interesting car ride.

Ah slavery.

Slavery, slavery, slavery.

A bondage but at least a few rules could be changed because it was super boring in the basement. We just had to wake up super early and rushed to clean the damn house then cooked their meals after that we wash their plates and then we make lunch and clean after them. It was super annoying that the so called bathroom were limited so some of them never got to shower.

All we did was sit here and talk or sleep and only did we come out when needed.

Stupid fucking slavery.

You felt like you're in jail but you really aren't, no sunlight and I was bored, today was just annoying and here I am watching Taylor sleep peacefully but I was bored. Couldn't Stephanie toss some board game or at least a TV.

For some stupid reason my cheeks warmed up at the thought of Stephanie because it brought some memories, memories I wanted to certainly ignore. I decided to go to Pearl's room and I guess I was stupid but I was super bored.

I walked out of the basement ignoring how some slaves stared at me, but this time I wasn't so successful because I had to pass through the longue where Kieran appeared to be drinking and insulting David who was speaking back but much to my surprise they ignored my existence.

I broke a rule.

Great. I walked to Pearl's room before knocking softly and I got a come in so I entered and she looked amazing in her baggy shorts and shirt, her hair flowing and I mentally cursed because the moment I made eye contact with her my feelings became a burst and I had to actually inhale sharply in order to control myself.

"Ooh I wondered where you went."

I felt relieve sweep over me immediately, she remembered me.. she actually remembered.

"Thought you wouldn't notice." I said before walking to the L sofa.

"Duh of course I do." Pearl said and that successfully made me feel like I was floating. How dare her?

"How's your host?" I asked casually but the words hurt my tognue. 

"Oh.. tangible is with blossom. I was about to visit him actually,"

"How's he?" I asked acting like I was concerned. Ha.

I wished that scorpion guy actually kidnapped him and left with him forever and ever. That way I could comfort Pearl and she can be mine.

"A little jumpy here and there. He even has nightmares but all will be well, close the room on your way out." Pearl said and I nodded "oh Lydia we need to hang out, it's been a while since we did some crazy  shit."

I was mildly shocked by her confession but I managed a nod and watched as she left. I boredly slept on the couch before deciding to go to Michael but I wanted to call him first so that it didn't come as a suprise. I dialed his number and he answered at the fourth ring.

"Ah my friend... it's been awhile."

"I know duude, it's just that I've been so fucking bored and work is more serious."

"When are you thinking of showing up?"

"I think today... actually."

"I look forward to it then Lydia."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Anyway I have a weird question for you.."

"Aha?"

"Do you believe in secret gangs?"

"Ehh no." I lied smoothly "Why you ask?"

"I don't know... I kinda feel like the orphanage thing was too planned plus my baby sister was in there."

I almost paled... almost, but that means that Michael was involved.... no way.

"Oh no Michael..am sorry, and Nah. Gangsters don't exist in Creak boy... you smoking too much."

"Am hurt."

"Oh you'll live."

Michael chuckled then just dropped the call without saying goodbye which I considered fucking rude but I shrugged before standing up, I needed a drink and even worse was that I knew the risk of coming in here but I still came anyway.

Way to go Lydia. Smooth move sleeping with Isaiah's kid and loving one, I think I have death wish but regardless of that I left the room only to see Stephanie come out. I was mildly shocked at her outfit because everything she wore was LGBTQ coloured, i quickly looked at the floor.

"Ahh.. it's you. Good let's go."

I just nodded respectfully and followed like a lost puppy. She wore tight jeans and sneakers along with a blouse but the colours were too bright but I wasn't complaining because I was a lesbian myself so all I could do was simply follow her out of the house then into the SUV. I mentally cursed because my plans to visit Michael were interrupted. Stephanie shocked me by ordering a guard then sat at the back sit with me.

"So...."

"Yes, my Queen?" I asked respectfully with my eyes looking everywhere except Stephanie. Because firstly I felt guilty for lying and secondly I felt super scared as well.

"Oh drop that Queen shit for today." Stephanie said which caused me to raise a brow slowly "Are you homophobic?"

I swallowed thickly before risking to look at her face because she said I should drop that facade of calling her my Queen. Stephanie was gergous of course, her hair fell loose and her makeup all rainbow-y including her Curious eyes.

"No...am," I stopped myself before anything could slip but Stephanie caught onto it.

"You're what?"

"Lesbian." I said hesitantly although I felt my own stupidity swallow me like a hole but I still pretended to be ok. Years of Pearl hurting you and not noticing it could help an individual.

"Ohhh.." she said slowly "I see, you should have said so because we are going to a parade. An LGBTQ parade, this will be fun!"

I was caught off guard by her squeal and the way her eyes lit, the guard ignored us of course but that didn't matter because for once, Stephanie looked at me like a person.

"Really?... that's great." I said carefully, I couldn't risk saying something idiotic or stupid.

"Yes... indeed. Did your parents love the idea of you being Les?"

"Not really."

"Well, we Mafias barely care so feel free."

"Thank you ma'am."

Stephanie rolled her eyes.

"Oh no... today am Stephanie to you, besides today you get to celebrate who you are. The pride of being different." She said "The pride of liking women."

"Indeed.." I said in an awe voice.

"Don't get used to it. Tomorrow am Queen."

"Of course."

Well, it didn't go as I planned and Michael will be pissed but at least I could breath freely, this car ride was most certainly weird in an interesting way.

Very interesting.
