Keep your hands off her...
After the hot act between them,the two girls now laid on the bed satisfied. They were both looking at the ceiling,each in their own thoughts.
"So will you tell me what happened between you and that insolent boyfriend of yours?" she remembered that they still had that conversation hanging.
"Why don't you tell me how you are doing now?..how are you taking everything?"Addison tried to boycott the topic but she better prepare herself with an answer for her girl friend's question.
"Everything is not fine Addy and you know it so am not fine yet but will be fine with time after all time heals all wounds.."she responded with a sad smile on. Her life had taken a different path,a path she never dreamt of. All she wanted was happy free life with her girlfriend but it seemed that was not possible!
Addison saw the sadness on her baby's face. She hated seeing that emotion. She did not want her to be sad.
"Everything be cool soon baby..."she assured her while caressing her cheek lovingly.
A smile took over the girl's face. As long as she had Addy with her then all would be fine. She would face anything with her love by her side.
"Enough about me Addy...tell me what happened,"the girl insisted. Addison was given no choice but spit it out.
"Alright..here it comes then,"she began after sitting on the bed.
The girl's facial expressions kept on changing as Addison narrated what happened. She was atleast bold enough not to hide anything from her.
"What you are trying to tell me here Addy is that you got that much intimate with Maverick...almost f*cked! You promised never to do that but here we are again. And what did you say you did again?...slapped my sister!?"she asked angrily. She was angry but she remained still,her claws still hidden.
Of all things,she hated anyone laying their hands on her baby sister no matter the reason.
"She was acting all annoying and I just got mad. I did not really plan on slapping your sister baby," she defended herself knowing that she had pissed her off.
She knew that Izara loved her sister as much as she loved her younger brother and she would act as she did if anyone hurt her brother.
"But you slapped her. What gave you the right to touch her?...is she not going through enough already?...she is in this mess because of us, infact it's because of you Addison and you dared lay your fingers on her?"she was getting more angry as she thought of it.
She ran away from home two days before her wedding day. She ran because she did not want to get married to Maverick. She was in love with Addison and getting married to a man was just too much for her taking. Her sister had to replace her on the altar just because of her selfish reasons and now her poor baby my sister was suffering greatly for that.
"She is in this mess for me?...what do you mean Izara?"confusion took place in Addison's mind and it was clear on her face.
"So you do not know how?...When you got yourself involved with Maverick.Lured him into falling in love with you despite being a lesbian. Forced me to write that article about him claiming that it will make your father reconsider if he would let you two marry...made Maverick come after me after writing that article about him and my sister falling into the trap instead...who caused all this mess?...it's you Addison. And now my sister's carrier is ruined. My life is not normal,am on the run while you are a free bird, flapping it's wings all over,"she explained angrily. She was paying for love or for loving such a selfish creature.
Addison could understand everything her girlfriend was talking about but she still thought that she was being too selfish saying it that way.
Atleast she could run away because she had a middle class life but with the class of life she was living in, running away was not possible. She had guards following her almost everywhere she went and her father paid them just for that.
"You know I would do anything to keep us Izara but running away together as you said is impossible. My father will turn this place inside out to find me.He is hell bent on getting me married to Maverick because of his wealth and fame.It will help our business grow but trust me am trying to get out of this..."Addison tried to convince her but she was not sure if she really was trying. She had began a liking for that guy as well. Maybe she is unisex but never knew of it and now she would never try say it to Izara. It would be unfair.
"Trying to get out?...by being so intimately close with him Addy? I was aware that my parents would never accept me having a liking for ladies. I did not want to take chances so I decided to let them solve their own misery so why don't you give it a try...why are you being so selfish..."Izara complained harshly.
This was getting out of patience for her. Was she going to share her with Maverick forever? What if she chose Maverick over her?
"Am not being selfish Izara...am trying,"Addison insisted.Everyone knew her as rude ands cruel and so did Izara but she was never rude and cruel to her!
"Keep on trying but never make my sister a puppet for yourself...Keep your hands off her,hope we are clear,"Izara warned and stormed to the bath.
She felt tears almost leaving her eyes. She did not like how life was now taking lead on her sister.
She was slapped today,what if more dangerous things were to follow her?...she would never forgive herself if anything happened to her baby sister. She took her phone and looked at it. She wished she could call her but if she switched on her phone then she would probably be found. She had to lay low until everything was settled.
A tear escaped her eyes.
"I know you would have supported me and my relationship even when everyone else in the family would not have. But I could not tell you baby. Am sorry you have to endure this because of me.Please forgive your sister...and I hope you emerge victorious in this and always keep safe...I love you Serenity,"Izara mummered as more tears escaped her eyes and she let them be.
****
The fake couple were done with dinner now and they were sitted facing each other at the table.
Calista had asked her question but received no response yet.She was going to keep patient and wait for the answer.
"You asked if Addison is my fiancee?"he repeated the question she asked before giving her the answer.
"She is not my fiancee but she is my girlfriend..."he truthfully gave his response.
One thing Calista could not understand is why he wanted to marry another woman yet he had a girlfriend he loved.
"Why didn't you marry her?..you two seem much in love,"she gave her opinion.
Maverick could not believe that he was sitted here answering to a woman who was not her mother... anyways,maybe he respected the fact she is his wife even if fake.
"We have our own reasons...not to worry. We will not be together forever. We shall get divorced anytime I want to and you should do the necessary when the time comes...make sure you don't fall in love with me,"Maverick spoke with a smile as she emphasized his last statement but he was damn serious about it.
Calista was glad he had told her the truth but she felt abit hurt that he was thinking of divorcing her. She was not sure why she felt that way but she had to make sure to do as asked as long as they stayed together...not to fall in love with him.
"Be rest assured sir...am not here to fall in love with you but you use to some extent for my own benefit..."she mumbled silently that Maverick did not here her
"You said something?"Maverick asked since he heard her mumble but did not get the words.
"Yeah...am glad we had this talk and made things clear,"she responded earning a smile and a nod from Maverick. He then stood from the chair and began heading out of the dining room.
"Ofcourse Calista...am hoping that you keep your best behavior so as to make things easy for both of us. We will be flying to New York tomorrow for dinner with my family,"he informed her as he walked out without looking at her.
"New York?...his family?"she was left wondering if really that was necessary because she saw no reason in her family wanting to see her and have dinner with her but who was she to refuse!?
