54

I left his room angrily and walk over to mine. This guy is getting on my nerves. He must have thought I obyed all of his instructions because I am weak willed, but I am about to prove him wrong. Yes, he will make me regret it, yes, I will bear the consequences but at least, I will satisfy myself this time around.

I brought out my makeup kit and begin to do make up. Initially, all I did was to just apply a little foundation and rub powder on it but I am so eager to provoke him this morning and push him to the edge. Once I was done with my make up, I apply lip gloss to my lips to make it more glossy. I know how attractive my lips are. Just a stare and anyone would want their lips on them. In fact, I am well aware of how beautiful I am but I was never the type to flirt around or try to put an extra effort to look more attractive. But today, I am breaking all rules.

I heard him go out of his room and he is probably having breakfast downstairs. I sent a text to Jenny immediately. "Text me once he leaves the house." I know she must have seen it because she is always with her phone but she didn't reply.

While I waited for her reply, I get my stuff ready and I slide into a matching heels. About thirty minutes later, Jenny come knocking at my door to inform me that Armani had left for work.

I picked my car key immediately and walk down the stairs.

"Lila, do you think this is a good idea?" Jenny asked worriedly.

"We will find out." I reply curtly.

"Lila, I know you must have been very angry to be taking this drastic steps but please, try to reconsider so that you won't get yourself into trouble."

"I am an adult, Jenny. I can take the consequences of my actions. There is no need to be worried."

"Trust me, you don't want to get on his nerves. I know you are angry right now but please, calm down."

"Do your work, Jenny. If you are afraid I will get you into trouble, then do what you always do." Snitching bitch, I muttered under my breath.

With that being said, I walk out into my car and speed off to school.

By the time I got to class, the professor was already there but luckily, he didn't noticed when I entered because he was busy writing whatever on the board. Ava signal to me immediately and I take the empty seat beside her.

"Why are you so late?" She whispered

"I lost tract of time." I lied.

The rest of the class was silent as I tried to pay attention to what the man was saying.

The class ended quite faster than I had expected or maybe I got here really late. Either way, he said his goodbye, leaving us to ourselves.

Our next class is with Hattie so I smiled in anticipation. That girl is a real vibe.

"Why did you put on so much make up?" Ava asked. She probably remember what I said yesterday about not being a make up fan.

"Am trying to rebel" I reply and she burst out laughing. "Does married woman does that too? Aww, you must have got into a fight with that hottie husband of yours. What happened?"

"He said my dress is to revealing and he wants me to change."

"Aww, you guys are so cute. I can't blame him though, you are way too beautiful. Any man would feel insecure, having such a pretty woman walk alone by herself. He is just being protective. But wait, is that why you did so much make up?"

"Yup, to piss him off even more."

"Girl, you are petty, I like you." We both laugh together as we shake our heads at our silliness.

Hattie walked in on us confuse as of why we are laughing like that and Ava fill her in.

"Girl, you are one crazy type, she laughed. So you did all of this, just to get on your husband nerves, am jealous. Anyway, there is a party tonight and since you are already dressed up, I guess you can attend with Ava and I, if you don't mind."

"Count me in."

We begin to fill each other in about what we missed out and the girls talk about their crush and the hot guys that they have eyes on.

Soon after, we finished our last class for the day and we went ahead to Hattie house to prepare for the party.

I do not need a change of cloth since my outfit is cool. Ava just touch my make up since I had sweat and all.

We left Hattie place at 7pm and we drive to Hattie boyfriend's house. He is the one hosting the party for freshman. When we get to his mansion, we are welcome by the smell of alcohol and loud jam. We begin to sway our hips immediately at the sound of the beat.

Hattie introduced us to her boyfriend, Mike. He seems to be a cool guy and Ava and I leave Hattie to do her thing while we chill around sipping from our drink.

I lost track of time because of my company, Oliver. Not long after we got here, some guy came to talk to Ava and she disappeared with him, leaving me all to myself. Oliver must have spot me then became he came to me and kept my company all through the night.

He is such a calm and reserve guy. Everything about him is amazing and I find myself admiring him every time he speaks. It is a thing to be a hot guy, it is another to be a gentleman. On top of that, this guy is very intellectual. I like the way he carries himself and I don't know, I think I like him already.

He made it obvious that he would like to go out with me but I don't want anyone getting involved in my mess, so I just have to make it clear to him that I am married.

"You are kidding, right?" He questioned, obviously not taking my words seriously. "I'm serious. I am married." His mood dropped immediately and disappointment wash over him. "But, you look so young" he said, trying to process what I had just tell him. "That is because I am. I'm only twenty-two."

"That's bad, I was thinking maybe we can get to know each other and who knows, go out on a date."

"I guess it's a little too late for all of that." I was half expecting him to ask me why I am married at such a young age, but he didn't question it. Instead, he called my attention to the time. It's past 11:00 in the evening and I am already drunk. I have a low tolerance for alcohol but all in the name of bonding, I kept on drinking till Oliver come to my rescue.

"How did you get here?" He asked gently.

"My car" dammit, he muttered under his breath. You can't drive home in this position. While he was thinking of how to get me home, Ava graced us with her presence and Oliver literally beg her to take me home. He offered to call my husband but I resist and he couldn't have drive him home incase of a misunderstanding. So he helped me get into my car and Ava drives us to my place.

We got home at exactly 1:00am. I am pretty sure Armani would have gone to bed by now. He probably doesn't care enough to wait up for me.

Ava couldn't drive in because of the security check, so I had to call Jenny to come to my rescue.

We waited for about ten minutes outside before the gate eventually opens.

Armani was there, standing with his arms crossed around his chest. I am in trouble.

Ava doesn't seem to comprehend the situation, so she just apologise to Armani for bringing me home drunk and she took the blame, lying that I insisted on not going but they literally forced me.

"You know she is a married woman, I do not appreciate you taking her around, and getting her drunk. She has a reputation to live up to. What would you do if it was the press that saw her in this condition?"

"I apologise once again, Hattie and I will correct ourselves."

"Why are you guys even drunk on a weekday? Did you go to club with my wife?"

"No, we will do no such thing. All we did was chill out for a bottle of drink, bonding, but we lost track on time. I am sorry."

Even though I can hear them clearly, the alcohol has kick in and I can barely stand straight without help. Armani took me from Ava's grips and offered her to spend the night here but she declined. So he asked his driver to take her home instead since she couldn't get a cab by that time and she didn't bring her car either.

Armani carried me in a bride style into his room and I think I heard him say something like "I will deal with you" before the dark consumes me.
