Lisa's eyes shut open at the feel of a hand on her breast.
She exclaims in surprise… "What the fuck!" As she pulls up the sheet covering her naked body.
She can't believe she just threw herself at a man she barely knows. Something she's never done, this was so embarrassing yet disappointing.
The man by the side didn't make things better as he wrapped his arms around her, taking in her sweet sweetness.
She yelled, "Get off me, jerk… how the fuck did I get here?". Derrick's face twists in displeasure at her tiny grumpy voice. He blinks at her, confused.
She grinds on her teeth, "Stop staring… and get off me" She was rude and bossy.
Lisa is a proud type, even though she's wrong, she doesn't apologize.
Derrick pushes himself up, frowning.
She pushes a check to him," Take and leave… that's more than enough pay for a night, so you better be grateful" she sneers.
Derrick stares at the check for a long time. Anger boils inside of him yet he chooses to stay.
" Thanks, I don't need it" he returns the check and leaves for the bath.
No one has dared to deny her offer or anything, but this man whom she's just met for a night.
It was a stain to her pride and she just couldn't take it.
" You dare not walk out on me
… " She yells in a daring tone.
"Or else?" Came Derrick's daring question, staring at her in the face.
Lisa's eyes grow wide open in shock and disbelief as she stares at him.
Never in her next life did she ever think the person she was fooling around with last night was Derrick, Keane's best friend.
They have little or no relationship at all. They only know each other because of Keane and now, "Oh! God!" Lisa exclaims, wiping her eyes to see if it's just a nightmare but to her dismay, it wasn't.
"Derrick?" She mutters in an almost dying tone.
He didn't bother replying and just stared at her, angrily.
"Is that how you treat all men? Like a piece of trash?" asked Derrick. He didn't like the way she threw her money and if it was what he needed.
It hurts more because she means more to him than what he means to her.
Did she actually think he slept with her because of money? If that's the case, then she's lying. He accepted her offer because he was dying in need of her, he loved her with everything and he just couldn't watch another take that place.
"I-I…I" she stutters.
"You disappoint me, Lisa, '' he said, turning to leave."And mind you…I never slept with you because you asked nor because of your money. '' He shot close to the bath, leaving the girl dazed, trying to understand what was going on.
One minute she was with a random guy whom she was trying to chase away and the next minute, he turned out to be Derrick.
Derrick walks out of the bath, all dressed, and leaves without saying a word to the girl who just sat there, not blinking.
Seeing that he was about to leave, she stutters "C-can we talk… more on this?" She asked.
"What more is there to talk about? The fact you treat every man like trash?" He asked, with his back facing her.
She gulps down, trying to get her composure "I don't usually do this… I mean, I was just cut up in the scene and I could barely think" She runs her hands on her hair, frustrated.
" I-I have never done this… I just… needed to clear my head off. I… "she cries. The memories of Keane came flashing in her head, increasing her pain and frustration.
Seeing her in tears, all his anger vanished into thin air as if it was never there.
He pulls her into his embrace, stroking gently on her hair. She hugs him, letting herself drown in his sweet fragrance for some reason.
"He broke up with me, '' she said in between her sobs. The memories she's tried to get rid of came flashing in her head, bringing back her pain.
He nods, "I know!" His hands never stop stroking her hair.
She stares at him, surprised "You do?" Came to her question again. Not like it's strange, they were friends after all. He nods a yes.
Her blues eyes gazed at his amber blue eyes, somehow, she felt it drawing her, calling her forth to look more into it. It was as though there was so much she needed to know. No matter how much she tried to look away, she just couldn't.
"You are so beautiful, Lisa…the most beautiful I have ever seen" His voice came out as a whisper, with hands clasping her face.
He takes in a heavy breath. His gaze never left hers.
"Your gazes are like the sun ray, piercing to the earth. Your beauty is way more than that of Jezebelle… What he fails to see in you makes him blind as a man, 'cause you are everything and more" his tombs rub on her face, gently.
" Stop feeling as though your world has come to an end. There is still more to it than you know. " He flashes her a soft yet sweet smile. She found herself smiling even before she couldn't react.
" T-thanks" she stutters, nodding gratefully.
Staring at him got her crimson red, and his words were just what she needed to be herself again.
As if being repaired, her brokenness was now dancing in her chest, threatening to expose her.
It was strange for her to feel this way.
All the times she's known Derrick, she's never felt this pull like now.
They've always been the distant type, waving at each other from afar.
Her lips parted and closed again. She swallows how close they are with only an inch between them. She could feel his hot breath on her face, sending her chills down her spine.
