chapter-3 | her

Huxley Lockwood

I woke up with my head throbbing and my music blazing with Last night's Vibe, a girl was lying next to me with her back turned facing the wall.

"Shit," I whispered and I pulled the bedsheet she was enveloping her with and stared at the amazing body.

she looks hot, I wish I had remembered what happened last night.

"What the fu-" she stopped her words as soon as she saw me, and she blankly stared.

"What?" I asked her and she shook her head and got out of the bed snatching the bedsheet out of my hands and covering herself.

"List it," I ordered her just as how I usually ordered everyone around me. It felt good as I saw her shivering in the chillness of the floor.

"We were at the bar an-" She started and I was annoyed at her voice, even though I liked her body, I couldn't tolerate her presence near me. She even smelled good, but I just felt disgusted.

"Out," I said and she picked up all her clothes and started wearing them in a hurry and I was annoyed again.

Can't she just wear that going out?

"Just, get out," I said more forcefully this time and it caused her to lose her balance and fall down.

I looked at the clock and realised it was late and I had promised my dad to show up in his office at least today, but I did it only to escape his lecture.

My phone ringed and I called out the girl who had just left since I was lazy enough to reach it from the other corner of the room.

"Yeah?" she came in fully dressed and her curves seducing me, but still, I managed to hate her as I do everyone else who sleeps with me.

"Get me the phone," I said and she obeyed without denial and I wondered what I told her last night.

"Hello, Huxley Lockwood here" I answered and the reply came with a chuckle.

"Ley, aren't you ready yet?" It was my father who flattered me with a tone that can't be avoided.

"Not yet dad, but I'll be soon" I replied and I was thinking about actually dropping in for a day to make my dad happy.

"I'm so excited and even your mom is!" He responded as if he were a kid who had been called to play which made it harder for me to deny.

"I'll be there soon" I clicked the red and I sighed into both hands cupping my face and I noticed that she was staring at me.

"Out" I ordered her again and she slipped out of the room without even making a single creek on the floor bed.

I stood up and admired the sky through the window for and while and I scratched my beard in confusion.

"Rick" I shouted into the intercom and he came in as if he was just waiting outside the door, well I wonder that every time.

"Yes Boss," He asked.

"Get me a formal to wear, I'm dropping by my dad's office," I told him after a minute of hesitation and he looked happy to help for the first time in eternity.

"What's the matter?"I asked him and he struggled to control his smile.

"Your dad will be happy," he told and continue doing his work, He was one of the servants who had no family and my dad brought him in a few years ago.

I used to play with him when I was small, but now the differences seemed obvious and my mother hated when I behaved like him, and eventually, I had to treat him like a servant which hurt me the most.

"This will suit boss," He told me and he placed it on my Chest to see the fitting and the look and I was shocked to see a gesture which was done by my mom.

"Sorry," He told and he walked away keeping my dress on my bed when he realised what he was doing. He has always been a good friend to me, but I didn't want him to be fired by my mom because he was closely attached to me.

I brushed my teeth and took a chill shower which irked me, but it comforted me oddly, so I stayed in the shower for a while before pulling into my dress.

I walked downstairs adjusting my watch and I saw my mom staring at me in disbelief.

"Woah, look finally who decided to show up," she smiled proudly at me and nothing made me happier than to see her smile.

"I guess I couldn't afford to disappoint you" I replied and wondered whether my mom had seen the one who had slept with me last night.

But her smile reassured me that no one could possibly notice someone going out from the palace like the house we lived in. I remembered getting lost in the corridors when I was young.

"Okay, I'll head out" I kissed her goodbye and walked out of my house wondering whether She had got lost too, and he couldn't even remember her name no matter how hard he tried.

"Blaze" I answered when the driver asked me which car I wanted to be driven in.

I had kept different names for different cars just for fun and my dad followed the same rules. The driver pulled the Black Mercedes out of the garage and headed out.

I got in with an anxiousness filling the silence, I wasn't worried about anything but at the same time I was worried about everything happening around me and felt uneasy

I opened the window of the car and stared outside the road, It had been a while since I enjoyed the view of the road.

And that was when I saw her, she looked far away in the 19th storey of the tall building, The traffic seemed to intensify and that seemed to favour me.

I couldn't get a closer glimpse of her, but just the sight of her made my heart skip a beat, her eyes were closed and she was just smiling in the air and I felt like a kid who was looking at a celebrity I could never reach.

She wore a blue jumpsuit and her hair was Black and that was all I could get, but still, she seemed like the person who made me Irk.

I searched through the building and that's when I found it

Xoxanian Companies

and I wondered what she was doing inside my dad's former partner's building.
