????Chapter Thirty-One [31]????
Theme: Karma is a bit-ch …!????.
????Ruby’s Pov????
“You see, I told you…this place looks like one where a ghost live in.” Kara whispered to us as she looked around in fright.
“Well, the only person who looks like a ghost is… apparently you.” Denise fired back, getting frustrated over Kara’s constant whining about ghosts.
Actually, everyone are getting frustrated over it as well. And that includes me.
Like seriously, what’s her deal with ghosts?
Funny enough, they don’t even exist!
Kara clung her arms around Malcolm, according to her, ‘It’s for protection.’
Yeah, protection from ghost.
Ha-ha! Funny, right?
Well, it’s not because that guy is my boyfriend!
I’m damn jealous.
I haven’t said a word since we got into the booksto-re. I’m not in the mood to talk. I just want to be alone while I watch my boyfriend and his legit girlfriend play their lovey-dovey.
“There’s actually no one in here.” Elvis points out as we look around the empty booksto-re.
“Should we go out?” Johnny suggest.
“And do what? Continue moving in circles? No thanks.” Denise say and folded his arms over his chest.
“We have to do something and we better do it real quick because I can’t spend any longer minute in this fu-cking place!” Kara say, holding Malcolm so tight. It was her way of telling me… ‘stay away, bit-ch . He’s mine!’
I sighed de-eply as I looked down at the floor not feeling the vibe of contributing to whatever they were saying.
I completely zoomed out that I didn’t even know what their conclusion was.
I really miss my family. I miss home.
But what’s gonna happen if I get to go back home and meet with Jennifer to discuss with her about what she said concerning the house…
What if I lose the house to her?
That place was our home… it’s the only place that reminds me of mother and i don’t want to leave that place any time soon.
Why was Jennifer looking for means to hurt us?
what wrong have we done to her?
She should be mad at that man that called himself our Father. He was the one who left us just when we needed him most!
He was the one who gave up on us.
He was the one who never loved us but only enjoyed having se-x with mom which only made her got pregnant.
He was the one who made our family become a big mess.
I look over at Kara and Malcolm. Kara was laughing over what Malcolm have said to her. They were a very cute couple.
I kind of feel guilty getting myself involve between their relationship.
I’m just a third-party in their relationship and as time goes on, I will get to realize that Malcolm isn’t mine… in fact, he wasn’t mine to begin with.
But even at that, I still can’t imagine my life without Malcolm.
Yes, I admit. I’m quite addicted to him!
I love him so much and it hurts like a bit-ch !
“Back to earth, tiny girl.” Johnny snapped his fingers in my face, bringing me out of my trance.
“What?”
I look around and saw everyone’s gaze on me. They were watching me closely.
Wait, were they possessed or what?
Ah, what if Kara was right! what if a ghost live in here.
Who knows maybe they are possessed by the ghosts.
“Are you zooming out on us again?” Mason questioned, giving me a cold glare.
Okay, they weren’t possessed. Gosh, I can’t believe I thought they were possessed. I’m sounding like Kara right now.
Eww.
“What is it?” I ask.
“What do we do now? You are the PA so you should know.” Denise say.
Yeah, Very correct.
What do we do? I, myself don’t know anywhere around Boston. And now we are lost.
But what exactly can we do in a situation like this!?
Think Ruby, think!
su-ckmy a-ss, bit-ch !
I hate my life!
“We have no other option than to give Me Joe a call.” I say as I look over to Kara.
She knitted her brows at me. “Why are you staring?”
“Your phone?”
“You are fu-cking kidding me, right? i told you if you need a phone then get one and stop bothering me!” She scoffed.
“But…”
“You can use mine.” Malcolm cuts me off as he reach into his pocket to get his phone out.
Kara placed a hand over his to stop him from getting his phone out.
What’s this girl’s problem exactly?
“I was just joking. I’m not that mean, Mal.” She hands her phone over to me. “You can use mine to give Joe a call. Okay?” She say throu-ghgritted teeth.
It was very obvious that she gave me this phone just to please Malcolm and to stop him from giving his phone to me.
bit-ch !
I dialled Mr Joe’s number and wired patiently as it rings.
It kept ringing but no one was answering.
God, I hate this!
I gro-aned out loud as the phone got disconnected.
I called him again and again and again.
No answer….still!
“He isn’t picking.”
“Why?” Kara ask.
Wait, she wasn’t asking me that question, was she?
“How do you expect her to know that? Sometimes I wonder if you think with your head or your a-ss. No offence, Mal.” Denise really don’t like Kara. It’s written all over his face.
“No offence taken.” Malcolm say as he raised his hands up in the air.
“Mal.” She whined.
“What are we going to do now?” Elvis cuts into the discussion, ignoring Kara’s whining.
“I don’t know…Go back home?” I suggested, not so sure of my suggestion.
“We don’t know our way back home, Ruby.” Mason gro-aned, getting frustrated.
“Then I think moving in circles is more better than standing here like a group of jobless teenagers.” I say, waking towards the door.
“You are right!” Johnny called out as he followed me from behind.
They others shrugged off their shoulders and followed us as well..Just as I opened the door, I was forced to shut it back due to the wind that blew at our way.
fu-ck! It’s freezing!
“Don’t tell me, it’s what I’m thinking. Is it raining?”
“obviously. We are literally stuck in here until the rain dies down. But until then, we practice in here. You guys should get started.” I shove Kara’s phone back to her as I walked past them and into the booksto-re while Johnny followed me from behind.
????????????????????????????????????????
“This is stupid. Drumming on a fu-cking table is stupid.” Denise say as he stopped drumming on the table.
It’s been raining for over God knows how long. And he was right, it’s very stupid drumming on the table which gave no beat to the music.
“We should just wait til the rain dies down.” Malcolm say as he got up to his feet and disappeared behind a bookshelf.
“Mal is right.” Mason say as he also disappeared behind a bookshelf.
I ran my fingers throu-ghmy hair, making it messy and sunk into the floor.
I’m tired!
It’s not easy to be a fu-cking PA for this fu-cking five stars.
Trust me!
I can switch my position with Cherry.
Okay, that’s just the lazy me talking.
I stood up also and walked over to a bookshelf. I pulled out a book which was titled; THE UNKNOWN.
I stared at the book covers for a while until I felt a presence behind me. Before I knew it, their arms snak-ed up around my wa-istand pulled me closer to their chest.
How can I not recognize this arms….this Feelings…of course, it was his.
The one guy that always make me feel horny only just by staring at me.
“Hmm, the unknown….wise choice.” He whispered in my ear.
I could feel myself getting turned on already…
“you’ve read it?”
“Yup. why, can’t believe that a guy like me can read a novel?”
“Actually, yeah.” I say.
“Ouch! That hurt, Gem.” He say. feigning hurt and that only made me laugh.
“I’m just being honest here.” I shrugged.
“Not everyone likes honesty.” He state.
“And are you included to those people?”
“Hmm.” He pressed a ki-ss on my neck and before I know, he started nibbling me on my earlobe.
God, I will mo-an if care isn’t taken.
I leaned closer to his chest and bit my lower li-p as I try my possible best to stop myself from mo-aning out.
I can’t believe what’s going on over here when Kara was just a few steps away from us.
And too bad, I’m enjoying this too much that I can’t even think of pulling away.
“Gina sounds hot.” He whispered to my ear as he continued ki-ssing my neck, cheek and earlobe.
“Oh…I …love Clayton. He… He’s one of the reason why….I read the book.” I literally forced myself to make that sentence.
I’m going crazy over here.
I’m damn w*t!
“Oh, really?” He turned me over so I was facing him now. “I’m jealous.” He pressed my back against the bookshelf and was looking de-eply into my eyes now.
Why was he staring? He should ki-ss me already!
“Clayton is no way close to my level, you know that right.” He continued teasing me. He continued torturing me.
“Clayton is the best. Gina…. Oh, God.” I mo-an-ed. I wrapped my arms around Malcolm as I pushed myself closer to him.
He was moving his palm in circles over my bre-ast right now.
And no, he didn’t take off my clothes so don’t think otherwise.
“Gina what?” He raised a brow at me as he continued the torture.
“She’s…. she’s… lucky.” I can’t even make an understandable sentence.
fu-ckthis se-xy guy who was making me go nut.
“Why? Because of Clay?”
He was putting his hand inside my dress now to make contact with my br*ast.
fu-ck!
We might have se-x right here of care wasn’t taken.
And I don’t even care!
“Yeah.” That came out in a low mo-an.
He smirked and was leaning closer to me. His face were just inches away from mine.
I opened my eyes and was staring at his face, then slowly my gaze flic-kered to his li-ps.
What was keeping him from ki-ssing me?
“Go get Clayton to fu-ckyou, Gem.” And with that said, he pulled away from me and walked out, leaving me hanging.
What the hell just happened?
????????????????????????????????????????
????Narrator’s Pov????
Mr Santiago, Kara’s father walked into his office and picked up his phone.
He dialled a number and called the phone. He waited for a whole before it was finally answered.
“Hello, Mr Dantes.” Mr Santiago greeted happily.
“Hey. Long time no see, my friend. How is the company going?” Mr Dates asked from the other line.
“Great. It’s booming like always. They are currently at Boston for a live concert.”
“Oh, really? Then I shouldn’t miss it. What music are they going to play?”
“It’s titled love me, hate me by an infamous musician. The Five stars have no time to sing their own song for now.” He explained.
“Oh. Not bad. We will be going to Boston to watch them play, hope it’s fine by you?”
“Of course. Anything for you. Mr Dantes. But, aren’t you busy?”
“Nah. If I was then I wouldn’t have suggested going over to Boston go watch them play. When is the live concert?”
“A week after this week.”
“Alright then. Until then.”
“Yeah.”
They both hung the call up.
Mr Santiago let out a de-ep breath and quickly dialled Mr Joe’s number.
It rung for a while until it was finally answered.
“Joe.”
“Yes sir?”
“Where are you and where are the five stars?”
“I’m at the office while the five stars should be in the studio practicing, I guess. Why?”
“Make sure they practice very hard. Mr Dantes will be coming over for the live concert. We have to do our best in front of him. He is the life in this company and we can’t afford to lose him or we go back to square one.”
“I know about that already, Mr Santiago.”
“Good. How is my daughter doing?”
“she’s coping. I will tell the guys to practice very ha-rd then.”
“Yeah. An send my regards to them and to my daughter as well.”
“Alright.”
????????????????????????????????????????
????Malcolm’s Pov????
She was glaring at me over every little thing!
She must be angry over what I did behind the bookshelf.
If only she knew how I tried my possible best to pull away from her and not ki-ss her with all of my heart.
If only she knows how addicted I am to her already.
if only she knows who my heart beats for.
If only….
Her look alone could turn me on. Just like now.
“Finally, it’s stopped raining!” Kara breathe out, smiling.
I hate this girl.
“Let’s go.” She sli-pped her arms around mine and linked it as she began to walk us over to the door.
“But we don’t even know our way around!” Johnny say as he wrapped his arms around Ruby’s shoulder.
That little brat!
“Let’s go.” I say, walking out of the booksto-re.
After a while, we were all settled in the car. I started the engine and drove us out and before they knew it, we were already on the main road, driving down to the studio.
“Wow. How do you know each route to take?” Johnny questioned in awe.
I considered not answering him because I keep seeing him from the rearview, talking and laughing with Ruby.
She was resting her head on his fu-cking chest!
Yeah, I was jealous.
Damn jealous!
She’s my girlfriend, for Pete’s sake!
But it will be childish of me not to answer him.
“Well, you guys might not know but I’ve been to Boston before.”
“What?!?” They all yelled in unison.
“Wait, are you trying to say you know your way around Boston but then acted not to know?” Ruby questioned, wide eyes.
“I guess?” I answered with a shrug and just then we pulled into the driveway of a studio.
“You are an a-ss, you know that right?” Mason say, glaring.
I laughed. “I was only trying to test you guys faith, okay?”
????????????????????????????????????????
????Ruby’s Pov????
“….????Love me, hate me…that’s all I ask of you. Just love meeeeee, and never turn your back away from me. And hate me, cause I’m afraid of hurting you over and over again…????
I had a smile plastered on my face as I watched them play.
honestly, I’ve never watched the five stars okay before. This was actually my first time in seeing them play or hear them sing!
Yeah, I kinda have a boring life.
But those who stick with me from the very beginning will understand.
My gaze were fixed on Malcolm as he played.
I could see the love he had for music in his eyes.
And I’m quite jealous of it…Music. Because it seems like, we are both sharing his heart.
I clapped along with them as they sang.
And Kara….? She was busy on her phone, taking pictures.
Well, it’s none of my business!
“….????Look de-eply into my heart and tell me the words scribbled on it, just look into my eyes and tell me you do, because that’s all I wanna hear….just love me, I ask of you….hate me because I’m afraid of hurting you over again….????” Malcolm kept singing until he got to the ending of the music.
I started applauding them with a smile on my face.
They were all staring at me as if I was crazy.
But I didn’t care. I just kept clapping.
It was fantastic.
It was amazing.
Now, I see why Cherry became a fan girl just to cheered for them because ad for me…? I’ve became a fan girl for the five stars starting from now.
“Is this your first time in listening to us play or what?” Elvis questioned.
“Actually, it is.”
“What?” They were all surprise aside from Malcolm.
Yeah, yeah. He knew from the very beginning that I was never a fan girl in fact, I never knew they existed aside from Micheal Jackson and Westlife.
Don’t even think of telling me that my life su-ckbecause I know that already!
“What part of the planet are you from?” Elvis gasped.
“Mercury.” I teased, aiming a laugh from all of them. “Ah, nice to meet you guys. But what are you guys doing here in mercury?”
“Shut up.” Elvis gro-aned while laughing.
I winked.
Wait, was that red color I see on Elvis face?
Holy shit! Was Elvis, a member of a five stars blus-hing?
Aww. I’m good!
“But seriously, you guys were amazing. I’m literally a fan girl.”
“Really? Since when?” Johnny ask, grinning.
“Uh…. since….now?”
“What? I can’t believe we got ourselves a PA that isn’t a fan girl. We need to fire her….not!” Denise say, laughing.
I joined him in his laughter but the laugh faded and turned Into a frown. “Don’t joke about something like that again.”
“Oh. I was just kidding.”
“I know. Anyway, you guys did great.”
“Um, tiny girl? Who exactly do you like between us all?” Johnny ask.
I placed my index finger on my chin as I pretend to think about it…
“Hmm.. That’s a tough question… i think I will go for….Johnny. He is the cutest among you all. And he’s also adorable.”
“Aww. Come here, baby.” He spread out his arms for me.
I grinned and walked into his arms, laughing.
“Yuck!” Elvis say.
“You are only just being jealous!” Johnny stuck out his tongue to Elvis.
I glance at Malcolm but couldn’t find him.
And Kara…she was still busy with her damn phone.
I excused myself and went on search of Malcolm.
I saw him, sitting at the backyard and he was playing his guitar while singing.
And no, it wasn’t love me, hate me.
It was something more beautiful. It was something better!
I slowly approached him as I listened to him play.
He felt my presence and quickly stopped playing and turned to me.
“Shouldn’t you be with Johnny since he is your ‘favorite’?” He ask with a eye roll.
I can perceive jealous.
I smiled as i took a spot beside him. “Are you jealous?”
“And why should I be?”
“I don’t know. You tell me.” I laughed.
“Yes, I’m jealous, okay? You are my girlfriend. Always remember that!”
“I should say the same to you as well. You are my boyfriend, never forget that.”
“Yes ma’am.” He answered, sarcastically.
Honestly, i love the jealous Malcolm more.
“What was that you were playing?” I ask now.
“Oh that? Nothing. I was just messing around.”
“Messing around? Did you call that messing around? That was amazing. Trust me.” I say.
“It was?” He sounded surprise.
“Do you think I will lie to you? I’m a very blunt person if you don’t know.”
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Yeah. Positive. Was that your song?”
He nod.
“Love me, hate me. Is that also your song?” He shook his head no. “Then whose?”
“We bought the song for an infamous musician. We’ve never written any song by ourselves. We only buy them. And then sing them. We are quite fake.”
“Hmm.” I never expected that.
I look down at our feet.
“What was the title of that music you just played?” I ask now after a long silence, looking up at him.
“I haven’t thought of a title yet.” He answered.
“But What’s the music all about? Like I mean, what were you thinking about as you write the song?”
He hesitate for a while before saying. “You. I was thinking about mask girl.”
I smiled.
“So the so g is literally about me then.”
He laughed and nodded.
“Are you blus-hing?” I questioned as I pointed at the red color on his cheeks..
He cupped his face and eyed me head to toe. “I’m not blus-hing!”
“Of course you are.” I was grinning.
“shut up! I’m not!”
I stood up to my feet and walked to stand in front of Malcolm.
I collected the guitar from him and placed it down by his side and sat down on his lap. I was straddling him now.
“Thank you.” I say as I started moving on him. His arms around my wa-isttightened as he pulled me closer to him.
God, I want to have s-ex with this guy so badly.
Malcolm gro-aned as he started trailing ki-sses on my neck.
“What are you thanking me for?” He asked now.
I dug my fingers throu-ghhis hair. “I want to ki-ss you so badly, Malcolm.” I breath out.
“Me too. But you haven’t answered my question yet. Why did you thank me?” He wasn’t ki-ssing again now.
“For writing a music about me.” I began to trail ki-sses on his neck as I kept moving my hips on him.
“fu-ck!” Malcolm gro-aned.
I was doing a good job. Yeah, I know.
“Are you sure you are a vi-rgin, Gem?” Malcolm questioned.
“Why, don’t i look like one?”
“You are too good to be considered a vi-rgin.”
I smirked, if only you know what I’ve planned down.
I look at his face and he was looking right back at me.
“I want to ki-ss you.”
“Then ki-ss me.” He urged.
I started leaning closer to him. Our faces were just inches away from each other.
My smirk only grew wider.
Get this, man!
it’s payback time!
“Karma is a bit-ch !” I say as I got off his lap and ran away, laughing.
The only thing I heard from him were, “fu-ck!”
