CAUSE & EFFECT (Vol III)

Part 50- "I know what you've been doing"

Standing up from the couch after spending the entire night looking out the window, Daisy looked over at the clock and decided there was no point in trying to get any sleep before the fashion show.

A quick shower gave her just enough energy to get herself dressed, and make her way to her local coffee shop for a high dose of caffeine.

Throwing on some jeans and an oversized jumper to fight off the cold morning air, she packed a dress and some heels to change into later on, into a small backpack, which she slung over her left shoulder.

After buying an abnormally large coffee with an equally abnormal amount of sugar, the idea of walking to the venue seemed insane on zero sleep, but the promise of the endorphins after the walk was far too tempting to pass up.

Slowly, she took long sips of her cup, which not only woke her but kept her warm. Soon after leaving the coffee shop, she spotted a black car in her peripheral vision following her.

With her already feral temper, Daisy was in no mood to deal with some pervert who enjoyed following women throughout London at 7am.

Noticing the car pull up along side her and coming to a halt, she realised that the backseat passenger was a woman.

"Daisy!" She called out loudly.

Daisy turned at the mention of her name and began to laugh "oh you're fucking kidding me!" She said half to herself and half to Olivia who stood in front of her.

"I know what you've been doing" Olivia pointed in a threatening manner.

Daisy took another sip of her coffee carelessly "specify Olivia I'm too tired to play guessing games"

"I've been following you and Freddie"

Daisy nodded slowly still uncertain of what Olivia was hinting at "okaaaaay....that's creepy"

"You're fucking him!" Clearly annoyed by her lack of reaction, Olivia's voice became more raised.

Daisy stretched her neck from left to right "Look. I really wish that I was in any kind of mental state to care about your feelings, but I just don't"

Olivia's face was riddled with confusion at the raw confession, before turning to anger at Daisy's reply "you are such a fucking bitch! I'm glad Alex raped you! You fucking deserved it! Stay away from my man Daisy!"

The blood from Daisy's face drained leaving her cold and white. Throwing her coffee cup beside her on the side walk, she began to walk towards Olivia, her jaw clenched in fury "what did you just say to me?!"

"You heard me!"

"Yes I did, how unlucky for you" Daisy lunged at Olivia unexpectedly, catching her off guard. With lightning speed, Daisy's hand was around Olivia's neck "wishing rape on some huh? If you weren't pregnant I would rip your throat out"

Releasing her in disgust, Daisy took a final look at Olivia "by the way, he fucks me because unlike you, I know what he likes and he genuinely loves me. You're existence in his life was simply out of pity you miserable loser"

As Daisy turned, she closed her eyes for a moment in hopes that her anger would settle atleast enough to be able to continue the walk.

Taking a few steps felt painful as the blood rushed to her head. Unable to coordinate her walking, breathing and thinking, she hailed a cab and decided that for public safety, it would be best that she sit herself down and be driven the remainder of the way.

********

Arriving at the Royal Albert Hall, Daisy's temper had somewhat settled, atleast enough for her to be able to walk in without feeling a murderous rage.
