"Time will reveal
Whose loss it truly was."
"Sugardoll wait up!" Lace inaudibly curses and turns around to see that it was Val with his lackeys, the ones who killed Bee.
"Yes, Val."She smiles widely not wanting more than to wipe that concerned look off his face. Val frowns and puts his hand on her, thankfully for her, very warm skin.
"Are you okay? Feeling nauseous? I can take you home? What are you even doing out princess, carrying all of these bags?" He frets as Lace wonders,
what the hell is he talking about? Ohhhh, I must look sick because of that foundation shade.
Lace snaps back to reality and starts to cough, just trying to convince him that she was sick. She starts to hold her breath and her face slowly turns red, which helps to convince the teen standing in front of her.
"Oh sugar doll." He murmurs,
"Should I take you to my house?" Lace's eyes widen and she shakes her head. Val takes a deep breath in and sighs, he wouldn't make any process if she doesn't comply. Lace notices that his face shifts from concerned to angry and she quickly signs,
"I don't want to get you sick." Val nods and pulls her into his car that his "friends" had brought. The small girl quickly starts to protest, wanting to go home until Val looks at her sternly.
"I'm taking you home sugar doll okay? Don't fight me." Lace sighs and looks out the window at the scenery. All of a sudden her phone buzzes,
From: Maman
Where are you?
To: Maman
Val found me. He's dropping me off. BE NICE.
From:Maman
Crap.
"Who are you texting?" Val asks as he parks in the parkway.
"Maman" She signs and opens her door grabbing the groceries, moving towards her mother.
"Mrs. Reigne!" Val goes toward Daliah, hugging her with passion, after all she was his future mother-in-law. Daliah cringes and waves back. The young man steps into his car and drives away leaving a fuming Daliah and a confused Lace.
What was he doing there? She wondered why he was not in school. Lace shakes off those thoughts and gets to packing her bags for the flight tomorrow.
