Chapter 7 Love and desires

Ryan

I was getting distracted in what I was working on in my laptop. Why do I feel this way, why am I getting nervous each time I think of what Jerry said, shit. I thought she was a kinda hard to get girl that was why I chose her.

I couldn't concentrate so I had to cancel all that I typed as I was just punching rubbish. Slipping out of bed I walked to the wardrobe, brought out a sweatshirt and a jean, it didn't take me quite long to change into them. Few minutes later I was already set, moving to my drawer I grabbed my car key and left.

Locating her wasn't something that easy cause I had to roam the streets of downtown. I was getting exasperated already, I thought using of Gps was the best why then am I finding it so hard to reach her. I stopped in the middle of nowhere waiting to see if I could see anybody that knows or looks like her and then I noticed something. I had driven round this same place twice and this is where I always get the single, that means she's close but why…

If I can see clearly that's our symbol, 'JRAYS' nobody would have such on their plate does that mean_ Oh yeah, he must have bought her off with a car.

Tell me something I don't know!

This must have been the token that actually melted her pride to take orders from him,such a loser. I was still in my car when I saw a lady get into the Honda Civic and drive off, she doesn't look like her and I'm sure that's some badass bitch.

Tired of mopping in the car I decided to see if really it was her house, I stepped out of the car and beeped it, I walked elegantly to her door and drop a light knock but it seems the only one at home was same lady that left, I sighed heavily, I was determined that I was going to see her, I wasn't gonna go home at the first place without her. Going back to my car I stayed for almost an hour and was about to leave when I heard somebody singing, that must be her, quickly I rushed down from the car and walked briskly to the apartment.

Luckily for me the door was slightly opened, I walked in and tiptoed to where the voice was coming from.

√√ I love it when you call me senorita

√√ I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya

√√ But every touch is cool, la la la

√√ Is true, la la la

√√ Ooh, I should be running

√√ Ooh, you keep me coming for ya.

√√ Locked in the hotel

√√ There's just some things that never change

√√You say we're just friends

√√But friends don't know the way you taste la la la

√√Cause you know it's been a long time coming

√√Don't you let me fall, oh

√√Ooh, when your lips unlocked me

√√Hooked on your tongue

√√Ooh, love, your lips is deadly

√√Don't stop

√√I love it when you call me senorita….

"Wow." I gasped with my mouth wide open in astonishment. What a nice voice from a bea-u-ti-ful lady, I stressed.

I was so engrossed in watching her, she was singing and swaying her waist every which way with a headset on.

I scoffed as I met the gaze of a weird lady staring blankly at me with her lips formed in an 'O' shape, I leaned closer and closed her mouth.

"Oh my world! Is this really you." The weird lady shouted in astonishment.

"You know me?" I asked, managing a smile.

"Who wouldn't know Ryan Lukas, the second richest billionaire in NYC." She grinned her face, almost tearing up. Did she just call me the second, whah is wrong with those bitches, why do they always see Jerry as the first.

Aishh!

"I can't believe I'm actually standing with you right now." She said and pulled me into a tight hug, at first I didn't know what to do as I stood like a rock hanging my hands by my side. After staying in that awkward position for too long I started twicthing so she could understand and release me but she was too dumb to understand.

"I can't breathe." I said behind clenched teeth slowly she released me and said, "Oh, I got too excited." She beamed, her eyes almost shining like a bulb, I'm I that popular?

Yeah, I'm that popular.

"Hello.." Cleopatra waved at our faces, dropping her headset down. "Didn't think I was gonna see you again."

Cleopatra

I was bored and angry after speaking with Jerry. What's wrong with that guy, why can't they just let me be?

My stomach grumbled, I'm starving. Let me go make myself some hot dog. With this I walked into the kitchen, brought out a plate from the drawer and poured some hot dog on it. Putting on the cooker, I boiled some water and leaned on a table waiting for it to boil.

After some minutes of rest I put off the gas, my water was steaming hot ready to make some hot-dog, huh. After making myself some hot dog I grabbed a milkshake from the fridge and gulped it down, it was so refreshing.

"Yum yum." I cooeod, taking a spoonful. Okay, this would do, I'm done. Dropping the half plate of hot-dog on the sink I left for my room.

The house was so quiet and boring, well Lulu won't talk to me after what happened, God knows I didn't mean to shun her like that. 'I feel so exasperated, I'm so damn tired of playing with you,' I said and threw my phone In the bed. What was I to do now, I will die of boredom If I continue this way.

Why don't I try something new? I ran my eyes everywhere but there was nothing to think of and then my eyes fell in it, my headset, I should listen to some music, yeah.

I took the headset on my table and wore it on, singing along with the musician. I got carried away and didn't realize when I started dancing.

I was so engrossed in dancing that I didn't realize the two people standing at my door and just when I wanted to do a crazy step I noticed Ryan and Lulu heated in a discussion, leaning on my door which was half opened, I quickly dropped the headset on the floor as I was shocked to my toe nails.

"Hello.." I waved at their faces. "Didn't think I was gonna see you again." I managed to voice out staring at his coffee eyes.

He looks so dreamy, how could a guy be

so cute.

"Yea. I had wanted it to be a surprise." He gulped at me.

Will he just stop already, his eyes are killing me.

"Surprise." I beamed staring down at myself. On all days he had to choose today. I took a last glance at myself and shuddered in embarrassment.

Hell, I was cladded in a light night jacket with a bum shot which was revealing almost all my cleavages and curves and my long black hair was packed in a messy bun with strands of it falling on my face.

I was looking like a whacked Cinderella.

"You don't want me here?" Ryan snapped me outta my thoughts and I fused a frown.

"No!" I said immediately and he connered his eyes at me, giving me goosebumps. "I will just take my leave." He said afterwards.

"No, that's not what I said, oh," I hit my head with my palm and met his stare, " I mean, that's what I said but not actually what I meant. You're highly welcome to my home, anytime." I said croakily.

"Oh, thanks." A smile lighted his face, his eyes piercing into my body.

If I don't get out of here now we are gonna rip each other's clothes.

"Uhm- I'll go change into something suitable and please sit, Lulu will keep you company." He nodded and I proceeded into my room shutting the door behind their faces.

I came into the sitting room and met Ryan laughing, paying real attention to all that Lulu was saying. Walking up to them I took a seat next to her and whispered something into her ear which made her blush.

"Hey, I'm here also, hope it's not about me?" Ryan asked and we chuckled.

"Are you jealous?" I asked and he wore a crumpled look, " why won't I?" He muttered, eating me up with his eyes.

Why does he keep staring? If he continues then somebody will have to hold me down. I wonder what he sees in me that's making him ogle at me like a vulture.

I just added little touches to my present look. I was putting on a blue gown which stopped below my knees and curled my hair letting it fall loosely on my shoulders. Still I see no reason why he would wanna eat me up dressed like this or maybe it's all in my head.

"She just wanted to be sure I wasn't into you already." Lulu whispered, snapping me off my thoughts.

" Huh!" I gasped, staring at her with my mouth agape.

"Really? Tell me." He mumbled, his gaze not leaving mine. "So, you were actually the one jealous." He said raising his brows at me and I brought my eyes down flustered.

"No, that's not what I told her, she made it up, that was totally out of it." I managed to say, my tongue hung in my mouth and then I felt a movement, like some tiny sensitive flesh brushes each other.

I closed my eyes as he pressed his lips into mine, the feeling that came out of it was fire but then I realized it was wrong.

Did he really kiss me? I jolted and turned back slowly to look at Lulu who gave me a weird look and then dash into her room. What was that supposed to mean? I wasn't the one who initiated the kiss, why be so uptight.

Immediately I regained myself. Those words left my mouth freely, "w-w-why did you do that?" I said in stutters gawping at him for answers.

"I didn't know why, I just.. can't get you off my head." He took my hand into his and continued, "I love you Cleopatra, yes I do, be my girlfriend." I stared at him surprised.

He wasn't joking, was he?

Oh hell, I think he was, as much as I like him I do not have a heart to love."I.. I ca.. can't." I unlocked my hand from his and took a few steps backwards, "I'm sorry." I mumbled and ran into my room.

I watched him stay there through the tiny hole at the center of my door, he dipped his fingers into his hair and ruffled it angrily. About a minute later he pushed the door open and stormed out.

I watched as he beeped the car open, got into it and zoomed off.

Hahh! A great relief.
