Secret?

It was the first time David woke up from his sleep and saw Chloe's sweet face. The girl was sleeping very soundly after what happened to her last night. Brutal and hard to control. Drinking too much out of anger at David's refusal. Forced, David had to let Chloe sleep at his house. Sleeping on his soft bed, while David slept on the sofa feeling restless.

If not because he has a gentle nature. Maybe, last night, he had stripped Chloe and made her scream out her name lovingly.

David sat on the edge of the bed. He stroked Chloe's hair gently and took the strands of hair covering Chloe's face behind her ear. The girl's brow furrowed as David's cold hand touched her face. But, after that Chloe's face returned to peace. Asleep in her sleep.

"That's amazing, David. A night with a pretty girl, and no sex at all… Soon enough, you'll get an Oscar." He muttered to himself. He smiled amusedly, thinking about how he could love Chloe so much. He had never imagined in his life, liking the younger brother of his best friend.

Hear the doorbell ring. David kissed the top of Chloe's head and walked out of the room barefoot. Downstairs made of black iron. Passing the living room which is also used as a lounge and living room. It wasn't very big because it was just the house that David had bought for him to live in.

Heather appeared on the screen as David reached the door. Pressing a button. There was a clang and the door opened. David greeted a handsome man who appeared from behind the door.

"Hey, Heather...it's too early to visit a friend's house, isn't it?" David said, letting Heather into the house.

"Sorry to interrupt your time. But, you said you'd meet me after you got home from work. And no news from you... So, I decided to come and see how you were. I think you're having a bad time considering how you sounded on the phone that time." Obviously Heather. The man took off his leather jacket. He draped it over the head of the sofa and sat down.

"Drink?" Offer David. Heather shook her head. David then sat down on the sofa, across from Heather. "Forgive me. There is an emergency that prevents me from meeting and informing you." David explained, "Well, what do you want to talk about? Your face says you're not okay."

"I want you to find someone..." Heather said. David's eyebrows shot up. "She's a woman. Her name is Angeline. Disappeared a few weeks ago..."

"Who's Angelina?" David asked, interrupting Heather. He never knew Angeline's name.

"I met her at the Stolen Bar. We went out together after drinking, and I took her over to my house. We... Uhm, you know what I mean..." David nodded in understanding. "We met several times and had a relationship. Until Steff —her sister— caught me sleeping in the same bed with Angeline... Steff slapped her and called her a lowly bitch..."

"Wait. This isn't the first time you've slept with a girl. Then why is Steff so angry?" David interrupted again.

"That's the problem, David. I just found out that Angeline is the girl who messed up Steff and her husband." David's eyes bulged perfectly. Shocked by Heather's story.

"That makes sense mate… Then?"

"I had time to ask some of Angeline's friends. And they say different things. According to them, Ron was the asshole for having an affair. And it wasn't Angeline who seduced him. So…" Heather fell silent. His eyes turned to the stairs. David's head immediately turned when he saw Heather's eyes. Seeing Chloe standing there frozen. Wearing David's oversized shirt.

"Chloe, are you awake?" David asked. The girl nodded slowly. Walk down the stairs and approach the sofa.

"You two..." Heather's words trailed off.

"You'd better shut up, Heath," Chloe said, glaring at Heather. Chloe then sat down next to David. Still with his sharp gaze on Heather.

David chuckled, watching Heather keep silent. This wasn't the first time he'd seen Heather afraid of Chloe. Instinctively, David's hand reached out to touch Chloe's shoulder. Pulling the girl's body into his arms. Chloe leaned her still dizzy head on David's shoulder.

"I'm sure your head feels dizzy," David muttered and was answered with a small nod by Chloe.

"You're causing trouble again, Heath?" Chloe taunts.

"Shh… Don't start a fight, Chloe. Heather is in trouble."

"You look like someone who just got drunk, Chloe?" Heather asked.

Chloe shot Heather a glare. "None of your business, Heath."

"I believe you were the problem David was talking about yesterday," Heather said.

"Heather, that's enough. I'll try to help you and find out where Angeline is. You go home. I have to take care of my little girl first." David said, glancing at Chloe for a moment and then turning to look at Heather. The man shrugged.

"Do I need to keep this a secret from Farren?"

"You will die, if you say so, Heath." Threatening Chloe directly.

Heather chuckled. "Have a good time..."

"What other trouble has Heath done?" Chloe asked. She lifted her head to look at David's face.

"It's not a big thing. Have you taken the medicine I prepared on the table?" David's hand reached over to Chloe's face and rubbed it gently.

"Already. You changed my clothes?"

"Who else, if not me?" said David annoyed. "It took a lot of control to undress that girl who always teases me so I don't jump in and just fuck her…" Chloe giggled in amusement.

"I should have seen the look on your face last night, David."

David laughed, "Come on, it's time for me to walk you back to the apartment. Today I have a meeting to discuss the launch of my newest game." David's hand rubbed Chloe's back before getting up from the sofa.

Chloe grabbed David's arm and looked up. "I can't go to college in this state," her head was still too dizzy, and her stomach was like a huge tsunami wave that made her feel like throwing up.

"You can rest in your apartment, Chloe.

"I want to be here."

David shook his head. "Chloe, not right now. I'm really busy with my work. I'll be home tonight, or maybe I won't be home. You'll be alone here."

"No problem."

David growled in annoyance. His body bent. Both hands stretched forward and grabbed Chloe's body quickly. Picking her up and holding Chloe in front like a romantic scene in a movie. Chloe screeched loudly.

"David!"
