Rita's Vendetta

"Hey Gio, this is my friend Natasha. Nat see my brother here is in a bit of a foul mood, I was wondering if you could cheer him up"

"It'll be my pleasure" Natasha said while smacking her lips.

"So Gio what would it be, will you let Nat cheer you up or not, its all up to you now" Kevin said with a very convincing tone.

"No offence to you Nat, you are pretty, but you're not just Rita" Giovanni said and sat down back.

"Well I could be Rita tonight," Nat said, then sat on Giovanni's lap and planted a kiss on his lip.

At that moment Giovanni lost all self control, he decided to throw in the towel and give in to Kevin and Nat's influence.

Rita used the key that Davis had given her while they were still dating to unlock his door and walked into his dorm. Davis smiled when he saw Rita; he was drunk and so he thought that Rita was actually Ming.

"Hey... you're back" Davis said with his voice breaking. 

"Of course I'm back. Were you missing" Rita asked.

"I don't know. But I think my leg was missing you"

Rita noticed how tipsy Davis sounded and suspected that he might be drunk.

"Are you drunk?" She was a bit surprised, because she knows that Davis doesn't drink talkless of getting drunk.

"Don't act like you don't know. You are the one who gave me that weird stuff in that bottle to drink, my guess is that maybe you wanted me drunk" Davis said

"Why would I want you drunk" Rita asked

"Because you wanna know how I would act, when I'm not guarded or over thinking things too much. How I would act towards you when I'm care free" Davis said.

And that's when Rita noticed that Davis thought that she was someone else. She definitely was going to get the most outta this situation. She walked to his bedside and sat beside him.

"So Davis tell me are you seeing anyone, presently" Rita asked, 

Her question made him think of Rita. And even though Davis was drunk, he clearly remembered how badly he was hurt by Rita, and that he was never going to love anyone that much again to save himself from being heart broken again. "Don't ask me that; it makes me think about Rita and you know how I feel when I think about her" Davis said

Rita used her hands to rub Davis's chest, then he grabbed her hand; " that is strange your hand feels like Rita's used too" he muttered.

"You miss her don't you" she said, before Davis could reply, she planted a kiss on his lips. "Shh... If she were here I'm sure she would say that she misses you too." She said and planted another kiss on his lips.

Before Rita could go any further, the door burst open revealing Ming. They were both shocked to see each other. Immediately Ming could guess that that was Rita. But Rita was clueless as to who Ming was.

"What the hell are you doing in here!?" Rita asked.

"I should be the one asking you that," Ming said.

"I have every right to be here; I'm his girlfriend," Rita claimed.

Ming knew that was a lie, but she didn't pay much attention to it. "Well I am his fiancée, and as such I find it very offensive that you are trying to take advantage of my future husband just because he is drunk" Ming said feeling superior. 

Rita stared at her for a while, not sure of what to do. It was hard for her to believe that Davis had a fiancée. Does this mean that she has lost him for good; she wondered...

"Ming, what did you give me to drink? Cuz now I see double; there are two Ming's standing in my room" Davis said while pointing.

"I'm Ming," Ming said curtly to Davis.

"If you're Ming, then who is she" Davis asked while looking at Rita

"Remember me I'm your heart throb..."

"Doesn't exist, not anymore" Davis said 

"Look I don't really know who you are but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave" Ming said authoritatively.

"This is Davis' room. He should be the one to get to decide who should leave," Rita said as both her and Ming stared at Davis.

Davis just stared at them not recognizing any of them. "I don't know which one of you is Ming, but Ming should stay. She's the one taking care of me, '' Davis said.

Rita picked up her purse and was storming off. "Leave the keys," Ming said to Rita.

Feeling reluctant she threw the keys at Ming. "He will never love. He told me that he can't love anyone else after me. You know what that means right; it means that I'm the love of his life and would always be" Rita yelled then stormed off.

After Ming watched Rita leave. She couldn't shake off the feeling that what Rita said might have been true. That Davis will never love her. She was already aware of that, and never gave much thought to it; after all she was marrying him because that's what their grandfathers wanted. But what had her disturbed was, what if Davis was still in love with Rita then what would even be the point of marrying him.

She pondered as she was leaving his dorm. "Its too late to be walking home alone, isn't it? You can pass the night here if you want to" The sound is Davis voice made her halt.

"What" she asked before she could fully process what Davis said.

"I heard your car drive off, so I assumed that you had sent Simon home. Why would you do that if you weren't planning on spending the night here" Davis said. 

Davis was right, she had planned to spend the night here, but she felt embarrassed that he was able to notice that even while he was drunk. And besides after her encounter with Rita she wasn't feeling up to it anymore. 

"What, aren't you coming?" Davis asked and made space available in his bed.

Her heart raced immediately. She may have planned to stay in his dorm that night, mainly because of his broken ankle. But she never imagined that Davis would want her to stay on the same bed as him.

Davis was aware of how reluctant she was about sharing the same bed with him. Decided to act as if he was asleep; to make it known to her that he didn't have any intention about sleeping with her, the way she might have been thinking.

She watched Davis for a while until she felt sleepy. And finally decided to lie down beside him. She felt relieved as she thought that he was asleep. But when she saw his eyeball moving through his eyelids, she knew he was awake. And she felt a bit insecure that he didn't try to make any advances towards her.

After Rita left Davis, she tried calling Giovanni to come and pick her up. He didn't pick up; at first she expected it, she knew that he would be mad at her because of the way she blew off his date proposal. But she kept on calling him, and he didn't pick up. "What's he doing that is more important than picking my calls. Damn that bastard" she muttered, then boarded a cab.

She was heading home, but before she got to her house, she was passing by Kevin and Giovanni's favourite club, and she saw that a party was going on. She knew that there was no way that a party would be going on in that club without Kevin being there; 'heck he might even be the one throwing the damn party' she thought.

"Stop the car" she said to the driver and alighted in front of the club.

She walked into the club, she saw Kevin; "Hey Kevin! Do you know where Giovanni is!!" She shouted so that she could be heard through the loud music that was playing.

"Hey Rita I'm so glad that you could join the party" Kevin said obviously not hearing her even through her yelling. 

"Ugh" she grunted, and walked away from him. She decided to look around for him by herself, a little bit, before going home.

She was approaching the bar section, then she saw what looked like Giovanni making out with someone. At first she couldn't believe her eyes so she went closer to them. And confirmed that it was Giovanni. 'What the hell?' she thought.

"Giovanni! You fucking bastard!!" She yelled, took a drink from the bar and spilled it on, both Giovanni and on the girl he was with; Natasha.

"What the hell"! Nat yelled.

"Rita" Giovanni called, surprised to see her there. With a rush of guilt that died almost as immediately as it popped up.

"How dare you cheat on me," she yelled.

"The thing is Rita, you're a selfish bitch. And I may have liked you, but I can't always tolerate your arrogance. You have to know that not everything in the world has to revolve around you always getting what you want. Besides why are you even mad at me you think I don't know that the Davis that you insulted so much because he was poor, now that he's rich if he still wants you to be his girlfriend, you would leave me and jump at the first opportunity you get to be with him, like some sort of gold digging whore".

Rita hates that word so much especially when it's being used on her. She got so agitated that Giovanni called her a 'whore', that she used the glass cup in her hand which she had used to spill drink on him and Natasha, and stoned it towards his head. Due to the low quality lightening of the club, the glass didn't hit him as much as she would had liked. It just grazed the side of his head.

Everyone at the club stared at her; clearly she had caused a scene. She braced herself up, and held her shoulders high as she walked out of the club. But immediately she got outside, she broke down and started sobbing.

"How could I be so unlucky? To lose both Davis and Giovanni on the same day" she said to herself as her knees got weak and she fell to the floor; a few metres away from the club.

She didn't even know why she was that angry at Giovanni. After all, if Davis had given her the chance she would have cheated on Giovanni too. 'Damn it! Her karma had finally caught up to her' she thought. But still why did it have to be him cheating on her and not the other way around. "It's all my stupid fault. That's what I get for dating a playboy in the first place" she scolded herself.

After staying on the ground for a little while, with a teary eye and blaming herself for everything that has happened to her, she slowly stood up. "What am I doing? Of course what is happening to me now is definitely my fault. But Giovanni is at fault too. In fact everyone that I have met so far is at fault..." She said,

"Giovanni was at fault for making me break up with Davis on the night that he became rich; just because he had claimed to have had interests in me only for that bastard to cheat on me in the end. And I'm sure that Kevin's the one who talked Giovanni into it. And then there's Ming; I'm certain that I would have made Davis mine tonight if that bitch Ming hadn't showed up and ruined everything..."

"But don't worry, I'll get revenge on all of you. Especially you Ming I'll save you for last. Your punishment would be to watch as I slowly take Davis away from you" she said and a wicked smile curled up her face.
