SHE

Chapter 69: Behind Her Eyes

Vindik Riot

✳

"Gone? So you sold it?" I exclaimed with my eyes wide.

"Why would I even keep it here for three years, Vindik? You insisted I sell it so I did."

I sighed, running my fingers through my hair exasperatedly.

"Is that why you're really here, Vindik? You never visited after you became a hotshot. Heck, I watch you on screen every time and I guess you're stressed and all, but you relieve them the hard way. You know I always read those magazines and most of them have your face sucking on different women every time."

"Yeah, yeah, Jove. I know, I fucked big time. After all this years, I never bothered going out with you guys and the band."

He held his hand out to me and I stared at it blankly.

"Are you asking for compensation or..."

"No, I'm giving you a hand because I love you and all-- of course I'm asking for compensation! Do you think this precious hand is for charity? I earn money and play onstage for a living, Vindik.

I ought to slap this precious hand on that smug face of yours but then it would put you into a big disadvantage yeah? You know, it would be hard to get women to bed with a swollen cheek and all."

"You tell me, big guy. I haven't had someone on my crotch for more than four months so my body's full of stress right now." I shake my head at my honest statement.

He looked at me with wide eyes and his jaw open, grabbing my collar with both hands. And since he was inches taller than me, I had to crane my head up to him.

"You haven't what? Tell me I didn't hear it wrong, Vindik. I mean you're Vindik Riot for fuck's sake! Your dick couldn't handle not having a pussy for a day and you managed to put it down for four whole months? Is this a miracle I hear?"

"You're over reacting, Jove." I pulled his hands off and stood straight.

"Of course I am, this is new! What changed? Are you on meds? I have to try some if you are. Did you meet someone? Is your dick going soft? (Gasp). Don't tell me you're going religious? I heard turning to the Almighty turns you into a changed man--"

"Jove, you're making a big deal out of this. I'm not on meds, too risky. My dick is always hard, I jack off when I need to. And no, I'm not going going Catholic are you crazy?"

I rub my face with a hand and when I focused my eyes back at him, his expression changed into a deadpanned look.

"What?"

"You didn't say anything about meeting someone."

I opened my mouth to say something but he went ahead of me.

"Ah ah, I get it. Typical love story for someone like you. You won't become like this if you didn't go crazy on something else. It's a girl, men like you loves a challenge and you met one that packs a punch so hard it hit you in the tey-tey."

I nearly gulped, noticing how much this conversation turned into a disadvantage to me.

"So who is it? Is it her? Ebony right?" With that, his eyes trained on the woman in question who has her back on us while inspecting the products like an awe-stricken child.

"She's beautiful, hot, not to mention the cold aura she emits. The complete opposite of the women who practically throw themselves onto you.

Did I fail to notice she's also pregnant? I can guess it's not even your child and you also introduced her as your friend. You never introduce any woman to me as a friend, Vindik. All those qualities lead down to one conclusion, she's someone you can't get so easily. Which makes her into a very interesting target for you."
