(Kira’s POV)
_______
I remained in the sa spot for a long ti afterward. I stood there watching Zayn walk away, and when she disappeared into the darkness, I still didn’t move an inch. Her words were resounding in my head, ringing shrilly over and over again like a faulty alarm clock.
Was she right? Did I truly still love her? Or was she only trying to ss with my head? Our ti together had been long and intense, she had introduced to so many things, both sexually and otherwise. I owed her a lot for the experiences she gave , but does that an that she perpetually had my heart in her hand? Would I never be able to love Lena the way I once loved Zayn?
I cursed under my breath as I turned. I didn’t like this. This was the reason I didn’t like reaching out to Zayn, she just had a way of ssing with . So far, she was the only one who seed to possess that ability. Even Lena had yet to ss up the way Zayn could so easily do.
"But that ans nothing!" I muttered angrily. I wasn’t going to let her words plant seeds in my head, the last thing I wanted was for her to make start doubting my feelings and intentions for Lena. Everything I was doing right now was for my girlfriend, and if that wasn’t proof of the love I had for her, then I had no idea what more it could possibly be.
Just then, I looked up and realized that my surroundings had beco significantly emptier. The shady characters I saw when I arrived had all gone, and I was the only one around. And that was even more scary, considering how dark and full of shadows this place was.
"Holy shit..." I muttered. The last thing a woman driving an expensive car needed was to be caught in such a neighborhood.
I hurried into my car at once and keyed the engine. I floored the pedal and drove out of there like I was being chased. I sped through the street, slamming my horn repeatedly to get everyone out of the way. It was as if I was doing my best to put as much distance as possible between myself and Zayn who was still on my mind. No matter how much I wanted to stop thinking about her, I could still hear her sexy voice that always seed to tickle .
I could rember how she looked whenever she rolled a blunt to smoke, the way her eyes rolled in her head and she simply relaxed into the outwardly feeling it gave her. She once told that smoking makes her horny, and having sex when she’s high is one of the best things she had ever discovered. And because I loved her, I was sucked into that life as well.
While our ti together was fun and also had monts of growth, it was filled with lots of sex, highness and booze. Zayn sure knew how to party and our relationship had seed like one big party to her. And whenever I was in close proximity to her, all I ever really wanted to do was get high and jump her. And this night had been no different.
"Oh fuck!" I gasped as I drove to the side of the busy road and ca to a halt. My hands were shaking terribly and my breath was coming in hitches. How could one lady have such an effect on ?
Just then, I heard my phone ringing. It was still on the dashboard where I had left it after Zayn arrived. I took it and saw that Lena was the one calling .
"Shit..." I gasped. I was not in the mood to talk to her. The last thing I needed was to speak to my girlfriend after my ex had already ssed up my system. Yet, I couldn’t ignore her call, I had sent her on a mission and there could be an important update that I couldn’t dare to miss.
Still, I didn’t answer the call. I held the phone tightly as I took deep breaths. Just as I was about to answer it, it cut.
I slapped my forehead in frustration. I couldn’t allow this. There was no way I could allow Zayn to ruin my relationship. Still, I needed her, I needed her underworld connections to get Kraven. If not, I would never have had a reason to go back to her.
The phone began to ring once more, this ti I opened the car and stepped out into the evening breeze. I answered the call at once, leaning against my car so I could be comfortable.
"Babe..." Lena said at once. "You said you were ho, you’re not!"
I shook my head, "are you back?"
"Of course I am! I got the footage, and I also got so clothes that I’d keep in the wardrobe, like we talked about. I’d go to work tomorrow from here."
"Okay then, you can get in. You have a key."
"Of course, I’m inside already." She said, "But where are you? Why aren’t you ho?"
"I had to step out for a while, sothing ca up."
She scoffed, "Your house looks like you’ve not been here since you left in the morning. Why then did you tell that you were ho?"
I cursed silently as I ruffled my hair, "what the fuck is this? I already told you that sothing ca up, are you interrogating ?"
"There’s no need to raise your voice, Kira. I just want to know where you are."
"Well, I’m on my way ho! Are you happy now?"
"What’s going on? Did sothing happen?"
I pinched the bridge of my nose as I gave another silent curse. This wasn’t what I wanted. I was transferring the anger and aggression I was feeling towards Zayn to Lena. It wasn’t fair in any way.
"I’m sorry," I said after a while. "I’ll be ho soon."
"Okay then," she said. "When you get here, you’ll join . I want to start watching the footage."
"What?" I jumped to the ground as I gripped my phone harder, "why? I thought I told you not to. Babe, we’ll watch it together."
"It’s here! Nothing is stopping from watching it. Besides, I’m less busy!"
Shit! I thought as I returned to my car and imdiately keyed the engine. Lena couldn’t watch the video yet, not before I did.
"Babe... prepare a al, okay? I need a fresh hocooked al!" It was the only thing I could think of that would distract her. I floored the pedal and drove back into the road, my eyes peeled ahead as I weaved through traffic.
"What?" Lena scread through the phone. "I’m too tired for that right now! Besides, there are leftovers from this morning that we can eat. I think-"
"Must you argue about every damn thing?" I snapped! As I pumped the pedal and my car shot through traffic like a bullet, "just cook the damn food!"
Then, I cut the call on her.
This was the second ti today that I was cutting the call on my girlfriend. I knew that it was going to get in trouble with her, but at the mont, I didn’t care.
I simply wanted to stop her from watching the footage.
