CHAPTER 7

*stop*he said but I acted like I didn't hear what he was saying and kept moving towards my room,

*stop*he said again but I was digging this play deaf,

I didnt realise he was already that close to me, he shoved me by the wall pinning my hands against the wall and leaning closer to my ear,

*you don't talk to me like that ever, not in this life we're living*he whispered into my ear,

*I won't be so gentle next time*he said before letting go of me, I was too shocked to say anything, I just stood there and watched him walk away.

MORRIS

I had to hang out with my friends but I couldn't go without carrying that thing along, she's always saying the wrong things and bringing out the worst in me,

Sir lugard was a scary person when you got on his bad side no matter how daring I was I wouldn't go that far,

I'd have to go everywhere with her, I hope she doesn't disgrace me in front of my friends.

ALICIA

what a jerk, I could still feel his hands tightly around mine and the mark it left behind, I was not going to answer him this time,

I sat down back on my bed, he was literally going to pull me out of this bed and apologize if he was going to have me follow him anywhere,

He came faster than I thought he would, he barged into my room without  even knocking at all,

*didnt a maid come to tell you that I was waiting for you*he said looking furious,

*she actually came and she told me you wanted me to dress up and follow you to go see your friends*I replied,

*then, why are still sitting like you weren't told anything*he said

*with all due respect sir, If this is going to work, you have to stop treating me in such a trashy way, when I step down from the role of being your pretentious girlfriend then you can treat me like a maid but if you don't want your father's rage which I know you don't you should  try and be less trashy*I said,

*is this some kind of joke, are you playing with me?*he asked

*not at all sir*I replied very seriously,

*you treated me in a way you shouldn't treat your girlfriend and you need to apologize*I said

*are you hung over something? or just being bitchy*he said walking closer to me,

I got up and faced him,

*you should not speak to anyone like that sir, I know you're use to getting  your way but last time I checked I'm doing you a favor being your girlfriend because no girl in her right mind can handle your shit sir*i said, I still had to address him respectfully but I had to let him know how this was going to go,

He walked closer to me closing the space in between us, I stepped back as he continued walking forward towards me,

*you must have really lost it alicia, from whatever place you got the balls to talk to me like that, you better return them before they get you in serious trouble,,,,,,I warned you before not to ever talk to me in that manner, did you think I was joking Uhhh?*he was extremely close to my face,

*what is happening here?*a voice came from behind him,

I stretched my neck to the side to see who it was that saved me from whatever was going to happen next,

He took a second look at me and moved back,

*be out in thirty minutes if you know what's good for you*he said before walking out of the room,

I was saved by his sister

*you must be alicia*she said walking further into the room,

*we haven't met officially, I'm Kathryn*

I think you know that I know that,

*which I'm guessing you already knew*she giggled before continuing,

*what was wrong with me*she said waving her flowing blonde hair to the side,

*yes miss, I know who you are*I replied as a courtesy of her saving me from her brother earlier,

*please just call me kathryn*she said walking up close to me,

*my brother can be extremely difficult some times....trust me I know*as if

*and I also know my father coaxed you Into being his girlfriend and all* yeah he did coax me,

*you should try and get along with him*she said

*he's making it very difficult*I replied

*but you should know him by now, I know you practically grew up under this same roof with him*

*ahhhh...I wish that counted*I replied going through my clothes to select one that was appropriate enough for his friends,

*I know it can really be hard but you should do what he says that's the only way you'll get through this peacefully*she said

*wear what you're holding it's nice*she said before walking out of my room,

Like hell I'll do whatever he said, this is going to be a very uncomfortable phase in both of our lives.
