Chapter 53 - That ungrateful son of a bitch


    ''Can Ie see you? It''s also okay if you don''t want me to.'' - Andre Levetté


    It didn''t take long before De had replied, yes. She didn''t understand why he even had to ask.. maybe


    because after their previous incidences she had been trying really hard to avoid him. She really wanted


    to see him, he was her safe haven. Especially after that phone call, surely he wanted answers and she


    wasn''t ready to give him. She had said it all out of impulse. She was having cold feet. She decided to


    distract herself by doing a bit of writing. What Spencer had done had inspired her to write something


    that she had never ever even thought of. She hadn''t written in so long and she thought maybe


    scribbling a few words would make her feel a tad bit better about the whole situation but she found


    herself drawn into writing not just a page but multiple pages. Supposedly something good had came


    out of this-


    She let out all her anger, sorrow and sadness all on her journal. She realized that this wasn''t just a


    journal anymore, it could be more. She decided to grab herptop that she hadn''t touched in so long.


    Leo is the only person who yed games here and there. She didn''t even want to watch Netflix, not


    after they advertised Ted Bundy''s series or Ted Bundy tapes. She felt her skin crawl. Out of all the


    suggestions, they just had to suggest that to her. She felt absolutely sick at heart. M had told her not


    to go to work but she wished she had so she could get her mind off things. She eventually listened to


    M when she made the point that.. Spencer that monster would be looming and roaming around Ritz


    Carlton hotel.


    When she heard the knock on the door. Her heart skipped a beat. She was nervous.. as if this was her


    first date. She just wanted Andre to hold her and never let her go. She wanted him to kiss her and


    make her forget. De felt absolutely dirty when she thought about the incident that had happened with


    Spencer. She loathed his name or just the mere thought of him. De fixed her hair.. she didn''t know


    why she was this nervous. She had butterflies in her stomach.. she didn''t know what she would say to


    him.


    As she slowly opened the door, her excitement died out-


    Seeing him.


    "Brought you lunch.." Spencer gave her a somewhat warm smile as he let himself in. She stood


    stagnant on the door, she really didn''t feel like this.?Lord please not today, she prayed in heart.


    Spencer set the food on the kitchen counter where she remembered being intimate with Andre and


    how absolutely amazing it had felt. Truth be told..?she missed him.


    "Thanks.." De said clearing her throat as she closed the door. She felt her skin crawl.. she didn''t want


    to be anywhere near him but he then walked over to her. Her heart couldn''t stop thudding with fear but


    he only kissed her on the cheek then went back to taking out the food from the McDonald''s bag. She


    felt so disgusted..


    "Got some nuggets, McFlurry, Big Macs... figured we can''t always eat out at fancy restaurants. Ignacio


    actually suggested McDonald''s, he thinks sometimes I''m overly fancy and I must enjoy the simple


    things." Spencer chuckled to himself.


    De forced a smile.


    "Ignacio sounds nice.." she said I''m a small voice.


    "Yep, the absolutely best. He is my best friend. Don''t think I have told you about him. You should meet


    him sometime.. you will absolutely love him." Spencer added taking a huge bite from his Big Mac.


    De nodded.


    "Aren''t you going to eat?" He asked.


    "Uhm.. just not feeling hungry right now." She forced a smile.


    "Still feeling sick?" He asked softly.


    "Yeah.. a lil bit." She tried really hard not to cringe at himying his hand on hers.


    "I hope you aren''t pregnant for that bastard.. have you had your period?" Spencer said his stance


    immediately turning into an aggressive one.


    "What?!" De was turned aback by his change of character in such a fast pace.


    "I said I hope you aren''t pregnant for Andre because why else would you be sick for this long.." he


    rolled his eyes at her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.


    "If you''re pregnant it just doesn''t start showing in five days, Spencer.." De hissed. "For someone who


    acts so smart you act like you skipped biology sses.."


    De immediately regretted her words as Spencer red his nose ring at her.


    ''He is going to hit me.''?Was her only thought.


    But he didn''t, he only smirked.


    "I''m d my sassy De is back." He smiled as he continued eating his fries. "I just issued the invites


    for Garreth''s yacht g.. thought I''d ask you to be my date. It''s tomorrow.."


    "Yacht g?" She questioned. "Is that even a thing." She frowned, she didn''t want to go anywhere with


    Spencer.


    "Your father is such a show off, that''s why he asionally has these things." Spencer shrugged.


    "Oh.." she responded in a bit so enthusiastic voice.


    "I was thinking we could wear matching out-"


    He was interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door.


    "Don''t worry, I will get it. Wouldn''t want you bing worse. Just rest my darling." Spencer said


    enthusiastically.


    De felt like shit.


    "Oh nice of you to join us Andre?" Spencer said letting Andre in. De felt her throat tighten as she


    looking into those familiar blue eyes. She could see the hurt in Andre''s eyes. The only question is why


    would she invite him when Spencer was still around. De couldn''t deny the fluttering feeling she felt


    whenever she and Andre looked at each other. It''s just like the first time they met. It always felt as if


    they were hard alone and no one else.


    "Unfortunately you can''t fuck my fiancée today because I''m here..."


    FIANCéE,?De was shocked so shocked she stood stiff.


    "You''re engaged?" Andre questioned, his voice hoarse. He wasn''t asking Spencer but De, as he


    looked at her. Andre just assumed De had been honest with Spencer about what had happened


    because they were getting married and she valued him more. Even more she regretted it.


    "Yes.. i assume you got the yacht party invite. We were nning to announce it there but you might as


    well be the first to know.." Spencer lied, he gave De a warning re. It made her shiver with fear, she


    didn''t miss the way he kept his hand on his waist as if there was something there.. right under his


    Armani zer. She swallowed a lump that she didn''t know she was holding.


    "Oh.. well congrats." Andre said in a strained voice.


    "Do you have a date?" Spencer questioned. "I could hook you up.." he mocked.


    "No no, it''s fine. I already have a date." Andre said clearing his voice. De''s eyes widened with


    surprise, she clearly wasn''t expecting that.


    "Looking forward to seeing her.. I''m man enough to admit and forgive you for what you did.." Spencer


    said in a ratherfortable posture.


    "Yeah.. I''m just going to head out. I forgot there was something-" he paused as he looked at De.


    "Yeah something I needed to do.."


    "Alright, thanks for dropping by." Spencer said in an arrogant tone. De couldn''t handle it anymore so


    she went and locked herself in the bathroom. Andre really had a date? He was seeing someone else?


    So what was he doing with her? She shouldn''t have told him that she loved him. She now looked like a


    fool. De was hyperventting as she started overthinking..


    On the other-hand.


    "Hey man, don''t tell De but I have actually been looking for a ce. I really love the way your house


    is so if you here anything around your neighborhood.. I would really appreciate it. Really wanna


    surprise De.." Spencer chuckled clearly aiming to hurt Andre.


    "No idea man." Andre said in a strained voice. It was as if they both used the word ''man'' to hide the


    fact that they actually really hated each other''s guts. "Doesn''t Garreth own a real estate agency—"


    "Yeah, I''ve had no luck with that man." Spencer faked disappointment.


    "Well good luck, I have to get running man." Andre said as he kept juggling his car keys. It was the only


    thing that could keep him from knowing Spencer out cold. Andre was entirely annoyed. He had never


    hated anyone more than he hated thisd. His thoughts ran back to how weird De was acting..


    Why would she call him over when she knew that she would be with her Fiancé? Andre felt De was

    trying to pay him back for the way he treated her during that period that he would rather not think about.


    He was hurt, she was clearly winning this insignificant game.


    A date, well Marcelle was still around.?


    -


    Garreth had broken his phone again and roughly thrown his MacBook against the wall, pushed his


    office mahogany table flip side. He pulled at the roots of his hair. His face crimson red from anger. All


    the papers that had been on the table had been flying across the room.


    "Alfredo you better not be lying to me because I swear to God-"


    "Why would I lie?" Alfredo said trying to stay as far as Garreth as Garreth kept throwing anything that


    he could get his hands on.


    Garreth chuckled.


    "Ooh that ungrateful son of a bitch!"


    "Don''t do anything stupid.." Alfredo said standing in his corner fearing Garreth might throw another


    tantrum. Garreth unbuttoned the first two buttons of his dress shirt and removed his zer.


    "I will try.." Garreth breathed out, taking his pills from the wall cab. "I hate being like this.. my


    daughter can''t even trust me to protect her because I''m a lunatic.. and I sorely depend on Spencer.."


    Garreth said a little emotionally.


    "I need help, Alfredo. I want to get better for my daughter.." Garreth said kicking the brown mahogany


    cab.


    "Start with anger management lessons." Alfredo responded.


    "Not after I deal with Spencer..!" Garreth said with so much anger he bit on his lower lip until it started


    bleeding. He loved the metallic taste on his tongue. He knew that Spencer expects his to act crazy and


    delusional but he wouldn''t. He would stay hidden like a snake and strike when he leasts expects it.


    "Thanks Alfredo.. I wouldn''t have known." Garreth said softly and Alfredo nodded. Felipé immediately


    budged in when he heard themotion, afraid that Alfredo might have been hurt being alone with


    Garreth.


    As soon as Alfredo left, Garreth called his assistant Amanda to clear the mess and once more buy


    more furniture and rece everything that he had broken out of anger. Garreth needed to see if his


    daughter was okay. He asked Amanda not to inform Spencer of what he had just had. He knew that


    Spencer would know that he was in trouble if he heard Garreth had thrown yet another tantrum.


    Garreth needed to think straight.


    "Are you alright boss? That man is crazy.." Felipé asked Alfredo when they were in the elevator. Alfredo


    only nodded as he texted M that''s everything would be okay.


    It seemed Marc wasn''t the only one who would be drowning tomorrow. He called all his other


    partners, from the mafia counsel and made a few arrangements. Garreth was angry with himself for


    letting De down.
