Chapter 31
Daisy’s POV
I tried to suppress my laughter by covering my mouth with my left hand and the other hand on my phone.
“Daisy, I said what the hell did you do?”
I was with Sidney and I was about to go to the ladies when mom’s call came in. I was actually expecting that. I didn’t know how to reply to her and then an idea popped into my head and I grinned.
“Hello mom, are you there? I can’t hear you”, I pretended.
“Daisy”, she called more loudly.
“Mom, can you hear me?”I yelled and finally disconnected the call.
I grinned to myself, enjoying the drama. I just hope the day ends well, if not she is going to skin alive. Nina has never been mad at me but it was obvious from her voice that she was not at all pleased with what I did. I was after her happiness.
I liked Danny from the very first day he resumed work. He was good-looking and neat. He was also funny like Larry and he talked about Nina at the time. That was how I figured out how he must really like her.
When mom said it to my hearing the previous week that he asked her out, I was not entirely surprised. I was expecting that. I was unhappy when she said she turned him down. Danny was damn handsome.
I sighed and went back to meet Sidney. He was talking to some of his friends and when I got there, he introduced me to them as his girlfriend. His friend’s face didn’t look familiar and I wondered if they were also schooling in the University of Nevada, like Sidney and I. Being introduced as his girlfriend felt a bit strange but it sounded great. I could see the way the three of them examined me from head to toe in amazement.
I shook hands with them one after the other and Sidney told them I was Nina Gomez’s daughter. Their faces lit up in surprise and before they could begin to bombard me with questions about my mom, Sidney told them we were leaving. I wondered where we were going when the party was still going on.
He led me out of the clubhouse, placing his arm around my waist and we found our way to the park. He opened the door of his car for me and I got in before he went over to the driver’s seat. I fastened my seatbelt as I heaved a sigh of relief that the day was over and he was taking me home but I was wrong.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
He pulled me to himself and kissed my lips roughly. I was taken by surprise and I couldn’t help but ask when he released me to take in air.
“Sidney, are you drunk?”I asked him.
“Of course not”, he laughed and took my lips again.
There was a sense of urgency with the way he kissed me. He didn’t even give me the room to kiss him back or explore the insides of his mouth. He seemed to be deriving pleasure from being the head… for being the one in charge. I hadn’t gotten over the shock when I felt his hand on my bare legs and the other hand on my nipples, as he pinned me to my seat, kissing me roughly.
“Sidney”, I muttered. He touched my panties and before I knew it, he tore them off. I gasped and yelled, “Sidney, what are you doing?”
He came back to his senses and let me go. What he did made me remember the night I lost my virginity, in a car. Even though I was still mad at Daniel, what I had with him was nothing like what I experienced with Sidney at that moment.
“Sidney, what the hell are you doing?”I yelled again as he blinked and slumped back to his seat, breathing heavily.
“Let’s go to my house”, he said and ignited the car into action.
“You haven’t answered me.”
“I said let’s go to my house”, he yelled back at me in response.
“What for?”I opened my arms wide.
“What for?”He repeated the question and chuckled. “What does it seem like I was doing? It obvious you don’t want to do it in the car so let’s go to my house”, he replied as he drove at a high speed.
I became scared. That was not the Sidney I know. When it came to issues that had to do with me, Sidney was always cool-headed and calm but I guess I was wrong. The Sidney I was seeing that day was different from the one I was beginning to let myself fall in love with. I was more than convinced that he truly loved me, because of the way he treated me but I was wrong again
It was obvious that he was after the sex. And after that, he was going to dump my sorry ass too.
“Stop the car”, I said calmly.
“What?”
“I said stop the car”, I screamed, unable to contain my anger. I felt like crying at that moment. That was the relationship I was trying everything possible so it could work but it was clear that it was going nowhere. Sidney was not the man I wanted.
“I said stop the car, Sidney, or I’m going to do something funny”, I threatened and from the look on his face, I could tell that he bought the empty threat. Then, he stopped the car.
I asked myself if there was anything like an empty threat because, at that instant, I was ready to get us killed if he didn’t stop the car. All I had to do was make him lose control of the wheels.
I felt I had had enough of life’s pain, dying at that moment won’t be too bad. But I know my baby Ellah will miss me and suffer for my actions. I sobbed and quickly got out of the car before Sidney could open his mouth to say anything.
