Chapter Sixty-four
Elena’s povText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Standing before me was the same someone I had never in my whole life would never believe would do this.
“Hello Elena, you miss me?” He said, a devilish smirk coming to play on his face.
“Now I know there are lots of questions running through your mind right now and the best one is probably why?” He asked me to walk up to the side of the room take a chair and come to have his seat right in front of me.
“You are wondering why I would choose to be this wicked and decide to capture you here, in the woods, where no one would be able to find you” I instructed one of the guys that had accompanied him to give him something.
The guy pulled out a cigar from his pocket and handed it over to him. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was told that he could smoke.
With all the ravishing tattoos on his body, he could make for a badass character in an action movie.
“What do you want from me? Why are you doing this Liam?” I asked, still trying to get over the shock that had hit my body.
“It’s one word darling, and it’s called revenge” He lifted up the cigarette and took a few drags, before blowing it up into the air.
“You see darling, your boyfriend Mac thinks he is all tough. He thinks the past would go without hunting him.” I didn’t know what he was talking about, my intuition believed he was still referring to the game in which Mac had defeated him.
“He beat you in sport, why take revenge on me?” I didn’t know where the sudden boldness came from but I knew it was important I had it right now.
“Oh dear, you really think this is about football? Regardless of the fact that I know that I taught him how to play football, this isn’t about the sport, this is about something else….” He said, dragging the cigarette and blowing it once more into the air.
“What is this about then?”
“Long ago, there was this girl, her name was Linda and I loved her. I had never loved anyone like I did and I was ready to commit to her. We met in the second year and back then Oakwood and Lakewood weren’t at war as they were right now.” He was staring into space while narrating.
“In Fact our schools were twin brothers, we loved one another. It wasn’t till Mac the popular boy and the certified playboy decided to flirt with my girl” I could see the rage rising through his body as he mentioned Mac’s name.
“Linda was a lovable person and I wasn’t given her all the attention back then. The only thing I was giving her was money because my dad had lots of it. I was so focused on the street hustle for more money that Mac was seeing her without my notice” He sighed for a moment. I could see the hurt in his eyes as he was telling the tale.
“Mac wasn’t just a friend to me then… we were like brothers and everyone in the streets knew this. He was tough and so was I. Every day, we would hang out and play football or basketball together and do what real brothers do together” He was almost finishing the stakes of his cigarette while narrating the tale.
“One day, I decided to go visit Linda in her apartment. Her parents weren’t the type to stay at home, so I was certain she was all alone. I grabbed a flower by the shop and I was hoping I was doing the romantic type of shit” He chuckled at that.
“I noticed a Mac bike at the apartment and I was surprised that he-Mac was here. I didn’t know that I was going to see the worst of things’ ‘ He blew the last smoke into the air and threw the cigarette away.
“The moment I stepped into her room, there she was laying in his arms both doing all sorts of lovable types of shit. I could not believe my eyes. My friend put it on my girl. That was the day I got smoking and drinking. I didn’t want to see his face nor Linda’s face again.” The whole story was an absolute sad one and I could see the sadness gracing his eyes.
“Mac never came to me to give an explanation for his work, he never even met Linda after that too. She left with her parents to Kansas and that was the last I would hear of her.” It was all making sense now that there was so much tension between the two.
“Apparently, someone in Lakewood heard of the whole story and it became the number one trend in the school and even across. Everyone was pissed, they knew how close I was with Linda and most loved our relationship too. That was the beginning of a tough rivalry between our school”
Thinking about what he said, it was quite funny that two schools became rivals because of a girl. She must be one helluva beauty…I think.
“And then you came by and when I saw how he reacted with you around, how overprotective he was with you, I knew that he had found someone he loved. I wanted my revenge and every opportunity I got, I wanted to rub it on his face. And now that I have that opportunity, he can bet his ass that I am going to utilize it to the fullest” He finished off standing to his feet and walking around, before turning to look at me.
“And by the way, I also know about something else….” I looked up at him and he had a mischievous smile on his face…
“I am aware of the fact that you are Diamond Foxx, the stripper that everyone keeps talking about every day” I gasped in disbelief.
How did he know? I began to reminisce about any time I had blown my cover, but there was never a time. I had stopped working as a stripper for a while now.
