HE IS A BETRAYAL

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

DENISE'S POV

"You didn't even bother to call your mother when you have not seen her in a long while"My mum teased, she kept on smiling in a weird way, although this particular person standing right here felt like my mother.

I couldn't believe my ears or rather my eyes, I was sure I felt someone in the car and that person claimed to be my mother. Who is this person standing right in front of me?

"Stop staring at me confused, Dracula and I broke up so I started dating the owner of this ice cream store," my mum said giggling like a teenager. If not for the maturity on her face, someone would mistake her for a 16-year-old girl who is blindly in love.

"I don't care CJ," I said strictly and scoffed as usual but the person I told my life story to didn't scoff at all. I turned around so I could head to the car immediately to rectify this nonsense.

The people behind me were surprised at the way I turned around to leave, forfeiting the ice cream I initially wanted to buy. I could bet that my mum was not bothered at all, she doesn't have time for such things.

I banged the door behind me loudly. I walked with pace, using steady steps. When I got to the car, my hands reached the car handle immediately as I pulled it open.

To my greatest surprise, I saw the witch staring at me. I could bet that I saw her shapeshifting when we were leaving but I didn't know she would turn to my mother.

I turned to look at Blanc but he wasn't surprised. Don't tell me this man seating in the driver's seat was plotting with the witch behind our back, why the fuck does Blanc love the Gem so much that he was capable of betraying a friend just for the possession of this Gem.

In anger, I turned back to the witch and yelled, "Get the fuck out of my car, you won't get the Gem neither will you get close to me"

The witch was surprised at my outburst. She looked at me at Blanc. Within seconds, everyone that was moving stopped except for Blanc and me. It seemed like she stopped time. The atmosphere was filled with echoes of her screams as she disappeared into thin air.

Once she was gone, everything went back to normal. I never knew witches had such great powers. The idea that a witch was once in my car scared the fuck out of me and I didn't have any intention of entering the car again.

"Don't tell me you are scared because of her little play" Blanc said playfully but sincerely speaking I wasn't in the mood for his silly plays. How can he betray me and still have the guts to talk about it?

I wasn't going to confront him until we were with Lucas. I guess after telling Lucas the event that happened we will have no other choice than to drop a betrayer like Blanc from the team.

I ignored his comment and entered the car, sitting beside the driver's seat. He geared the car to life as we Zoomed off.

The air conditioner was turned on but I wanted fresh air. Sharing air with a betrayer was choking me, I wanted something else so I whined the windows down.

The fact that I had whined the window down, brought the attention of Blanc to me, " Don't Tell me this air conditioner isn't enough for you smart ass" he said and chuckled but I ignored him once again and this time, I knew I wasn't playing around with him.

He adjusted himself on the seat, it felt like he was not comfortable with the response I was giving to be but I seriously don't give two shit about his feelings right now.

As we drove, he glanced in my direction multiple times which got on my nerves but I ignored all his stares.

"Hey, are you good?" He asked, concern evident in his voice. He was partially distracted from the room, and his eyes were focused on me as he drove.

"Eyes on the room, I'm too young to die" I stated, rudely. He couldn't get any of my rude responses again, so he decided to speak up.

"Did I do something wrong? If I did, tell me, there's no big deal, I'm going to apologize" he said in a very cool voice. If I had not known him better, I would have fallen for his schemes.

I wasn't prepared to talk to him or anything but his persuasive pleas for me to tell him what he did wrong got in my way.

I turned to look at him and said, "You can never stop betraying people, can you?"

BLANC'S POV

"What, I betrayed someone?" I asked as I brought the car to a stop.

The tension that weighed heavily on the atmosphere was getting palpable. And she wasn't willing to speak further. I wasn't prepared to drive either. It's either she talks or we remain stagnant. I noticed she got the hint but decided to ignore it.

I rested My back on the driver's seat fully, placing my hand on my chin, trying to recall the event that happened. I could not remember betraying anyone else except of course Denise, Lucas, Andi, and Dracula. But I thought we had gone past there. It could be she hasn't forgiven me and that is the major reason she lost her feelings for me if she even had one for me.

I signed heavily, thinking about what to do at that moment. Seems the girl I like has an unforgiving spirit and that's a red flag for me. Everyone makes mistakes, so if you can't forgive one's mistake, what's the guarantee that the friendship, relationship, or whatever is going to last? My crime is forgivable because I was forced to do whatever I did, but I'm not trying to justify my actions.

I inhaled deeply, before speaking to her, "I'm not doing this with you".

I geared the car back to life with swift action and headed straight to her house. I haven't been to my house in days, but it seems that is going to change because she doesn't like me being around her anymore.

The drive was in silence as she stole glances at me making me uncomfortable. Could it be that it's not the past event she's angry at but the present event? I tried thinking of how I betrayed her presently but couldn't come up with anything. So I just gave up. Besides, she is not going to date me either.

We reached her house and I parked quickly before I turned to look at Denise. She had already left the car, banging the car door shut. I heaved and left the car as well.

She entered her house and started screaming Lucas's name, as though she was born at the time he was given the name. I tried telling her to calm down but she shut me up.

"Lucas, where the fuck are you?" She yelled in anger, Immediately I pinned her to the wall, with my hand covering her mouth to prevent her from shouting any further.

My body was pinned against her and I didn't notice till I felt her heart beating fast. She stared at me like she hadn't noticed some features about me before. "Why the fuck are you cross with me," I asked as I released my hand from her mouth slowly.

She opened her mouth to speak but she didn't form any words. I didn't know what was happening but our heads were beginning to move towards each other. Her eyes were fixed on my lips as she bit her lips slowly, I knew she wanted me to kiss me and I wanted that as well.

But for some reason, we stayed in that position, admiring each other's faces and enjoying the moments. I felt her heartbeat faster, and her eyes still fixed on my lips, she bit her lower lips and damn it was so tempting. The sight of her doing that drove me crazy and I wanted to capture her lips into mine till she moaned my name. But I had to be slow and steady, I was not ready to make a first move until she gave me permission, I wasn't going to kiss her.

The time became faster as my dick began harder. I tried my best to control myself. But I didn't know when my hands went to her afro hair, which had grown to a certain point.

My hands went down to her face, massaging it gently, Her breath began louder as my hands reached her lips, I caressed the soft lips as she closed her eyes to savor the moment.

"Fuck, are you going to kiss me already," she said, her voice in murmur as she looked into my eyes.

A smile came to the corners of my lips as she gave me permission, I bent my head to take her long-awaited mouth into mine when the door opened immediately.

Denise threw me off her as the figure who opened the door turned out to be Lucas.

"Arrg" I groaned as I nursed my butt which hurt badly due to the way she threw me on the floor.

"We are going to the woods" Lucas stated taking us aback.

"What" Denise and I said simultaneously.
