Chapter 3: Lindsey Davis

Chapter 3

Lindsey Davis

Damian Kai Clinton POV.

“I’m going out for a while; you could come with me if

you want to.”

She slightly looks at me but I could clearly see the

visible happiness in her eyes. Yeah slut, I am giving you the fucking chance to

have new, nice clothes that would be pay using my card. This would be the last,

I just hope that after this she would finally leave me. She’s becoming too

thick-skinned at this point.

After I finished my meal, I grab my own dishes and put

it on the sink. I took a glance at her and saw that she also did the same.

Didn’t even finish her food or ate half of it. As soon as I do something she

would just follow, or is it that she is just too eager to have new pair of

clothes now. I went down first and didn’t even wait for her, maybe she would

dress up so fabulously now thinking that this is a date but no. We would just

go to the mall, buy stuff then go home. I waited outside of my car where I

parked it, under the shade of the waiting area outside our apartment, it is

still raining heavily as of now.

It didn’t take long for Cloud to finally get her ***

down here. Unlike my expectations, she didn’t dress up at all. We are going to

a mall for fucks sake and she looks like she would have a quick stop by in a

convenience store, her converse even has a small dent on it. I was able to have

a glimpse of her face and damn was it funny. It was a fucking failed attempt to

look presentable, so fucking unattractive. Whatever drugs she was on I wouldn’t

want any of it. Her shirt is loose, her jeans doesn’t compliment that skinny

body of hers and where is her fucking butt? Where did it go? Before I have

second thoughts of going to the mall still, I instructed her to hop in the car.

I might regret actually showing kindness to her later, but we are already here

so might as well finish it. All though, I would also want to see her

disappointed face if ever this trip would be cut off short. I brush off the

thought before I might actually do it and hop in as well.

A very silent trip is happening right now. Cloud is

looking outside the window, obviously admiring the rain not saying any word,

even her breathes are almost inaudible for me. There is no traffic since not so

many people would want to travel in this kind of weather. Meanwhile, this lady

beside me loves to go out on this kind of days ever since we aren’t even

together.

Flashback*

It is so cold.

I rummage through my linens looking for a blanket so I

could watch shows comfortably. Afterwards, I slid on my sheets, scrolling on my

phone not knowing what to do at all. I’m at my Instagram now and at the very

top of my news feed is a picture posted by Cloud, a classmate of mine. It was a

picture of her bare feet on the street with clear droplets and puddles of rain

around her. I swipe to the left and saw a her, on a white lace dress eyes close

looking like a happy free girl, wet under the rain. She’s beautiful, ethereal

even, why the **** does she look so mild in her Instagram when she fucking

punched me just the other day. It was posted just a few minutes ago so I dm

her.

“Gotta wish you catch a cold. Tf did you look carefree

and fragile you gorilla”

She seen it and replied almost immediately, I smiled.

“You find me beautiful in those photos did you not?

Praise me a little dickface”

“And I would thank the goddess of rain if I catch a

fucking cold, I would have a reason not to see your face at school”

I laughed at her response; she is so fucking

entertaining I would love to tease her forever.

“In your dreams”

She didn’t respond to me after that so I just looked

for a movie or something, still smiling. I can’t wait for Monday to come.

End of Flashback*

I shook my head as memories of our past flash through

my head. It was a beautiful memory but flawed in many ways, if only I knew it

would come to this.

Many more memories wasted by her. Our car song

jamming, late night rides any many fucking more. I can feel anger rising inside

me, why the **** am I being nice and caring to this bitch again.

We finally arrived to our destination I got out of the

car and walk first, she followed behind my back afterwards. I just remember

that I need a new watch since mine got busted by a chick when we go hard a few

nights ago. It was a gift from Cloud from one of our anniversaries a few years

back. I’m not much of a material person but I just figured I need to replace it

and give her one as well for compensation. I don’t want her having a reason to

talk back to me. I don’t want arguments.

She’s trying so hard to match my walking phase I am

much taller than her, I’m 6’2 tall while cloud is around 5’5. I don’t really

know what brand to buy so I just stop by at the very first shop that I saw. I

was looking around looking at the design of each watch, I turn my head to look

at Cloud behind me in attempt to ask for her opinion. But I stop midway, I

don’t want her thinking that we are going back to our hold habits. In the end I

chose a watch that looks somewhat identical to the one Cloud gave me. Don’t get

me wrong it’s just that the design is minimalistic and could go on any suits I

wear. Yes, that’s the sole reason.

I almost forgot that I also need to buy her a watch

since we are already here. I told her to wait outside. I bought a watch that is

more feminine but looks similar to mine, not to match or anything just—So I

wouldn’t stay there longer.

We’ve been walking around for hours now; we went to

different stores. Cloud insisted on lifting most of the paper bags herself, I

didn’t mind at all because she looks like a personal assistant anyways. She

neither complain at all. While we were at the stores I was thinking if I should

let her fit the clothes first since it might not fit her, but considered it a

waste of time. She isn’t even talking the whole time, just standing behind me

like a shitty shadow or something. Looking at the bags I thought to myself

“Damn did I bought too much, what a lucky bitch you are”. I figured this should

be enough for now.

“We should stop by to eat” I stated nonchalantly.

Because of that statement, she finally looked up to me with dead tired eyes. I

scanned her from head to toe, she looks pale and tired from all the walk her

hair sticks in her forehead because of sweat and her breathing is unsteady. I

gave up on eating for now because the restaurants are far away from our current

location, so instead I tell her.

“On the other hand, I don’t want to go to a fancy

restaurant with you looking like that” she nodded as a respond. “Let’s just

stay on the bench for a while” she nodded once more. There is this feeling

inside me that I wanted to help her but at the same time I really don’t.

We stayed in that bench for a while, silence engulfing

us. I steal glances every now and then. She was looking straight in her feet. I

was thinking of buying her water when a familiar voice echoed on the other side

of the walkway.

“Kai!” Shit! as soon as I heard that voice, I cursed

under my breathe. She is the last person I want to see while I am together with

Cloud. I-I just don’t want her knowing I did the exact same thing she did to me

two years ago, I j-just—it’s a payback for what she did, she had it coming. I

don’t want her to know b-because I don’t war her calling it quits or something.

I want her to feel the guilt everyday knowing that after all she did, I still

supported her and gave her shelter. Shit why the **** am I nervous now?! We’re

not married, she’s nothing but a leech.

“Kai! Kai!, Love you’re here” Cloud finally notice her

as well, she have a slight frown on her eyebrows as she look at her. “She’s a

comrade” Nervousness still hints in my voice and I know she noticed it. ****

it, I don’t fucking care anymore. I grab all the paper bags beside my watch and

stood up to greet her as fast as I could. I did that because I don’t want her

to approach our seats. I promised her I would buy her a Balenciaga just so she

would stop pestering me, she’s a **** buddy but is getting too clingy at this

point. I walk run to her and immediately hand over all the shopping bags we

just bought. And I smiled.

“I wasn’t able to buy Balenciaga but I have these

instead” All of the clothes and shoes inside those are branded. “Dear, you are

so sweet aren’t you. I only asked for small thing but you give me absolutely

everything you could I love you so much” I smirked, I know for a fact she would

gladly spread her legs wide open for all of those, I didn’t hate it at least

Lindsey is honest and not a fucking pretender like Cloud. “I love you too” I

replied, half meant.

She wouldn’t think I am with Cloud because of how she

looks right now, I gotta thank gods she didn’t dress up and cling to me

pathetically today. I would’ve been busted if she knew.

“Did you know that I am coming here to the mall today

and plans to surprise me? You’re cheesy ya’know that? Haha” giggling, I

couldn’t really tell her that those weren’t supposed to be for her. “No, I am

no stalker, Destiny I guess” She smiled lovingly to me and gave me a warm hug,

it was nothing special.

We are having our moment when commotion was suddenly

arising behind me, where I left Cloud. “Kai, it seems that something is

happening there. I have to go; I just ran some errands for boss that’s why I’m

here” I’m not really focus on what she was saying. I want to run as fast as I

could to where Cloud is right now. There is a huge possibility that what’s

behind the crowd was her. “Kai? Kai? I gotta go now love” I finally smiled to

her and gave her a peck on her lips. “Stay safe Lindsey, go home now” She

smiled and left.

The moment she left my sight, I ran as fast as I could

to where Cloud is. Don’t tell me this is one of her fucking stunts again, it is

not funny anymore. I pushed some of the people and there I saw her on the

ground fainted. If this is one of her stupid acts, I swear I’m gonna leave her

first. A man is kneeling beside her holding her shoulder while waiting for

nurses in the mall’s clinic. I felt irritated and remove his hand. I picked her

up and look for the watch I left beside her but it is nowhere to be found, more

or less it was stolen with all this crowd. “Excuse me sir, I know you are

concern but we shouldn’t be lifting her just like that.” I shot a glare at him.

“She’s with me, we’re going home” I shouted “Move!” to the people blocking my

way as I walk my way fast to where my car is. I put her on the passenger sit

and called my older brother, a doctor. To go to our apartment to check on her.

I drove as fast as I could back to our apartment, not

minding the weather. As soon as we I arrived, I immediately rush her to the

bed. Where the **** is my brother now? What’s taking him so long!

I removed Cloud’s shoes. She was sweating so hard, I

decided to rummage through our cabinets and look for more comfortable clothes.

I picked up gray sweat pants and a thin-fabric shirt. I went back to the bed

and start removing her clothes. It’s not uncommon for me to see her ***** body,

I’ve seen it numerous times before, but it’s been so long. I wasn’t aroused

when I saw her *****. Worry rush over me as I see, laying before my eyes, her

skin bone body. Her ribs where showing, this is no way in hell, healthy at

all!. I changed her clothes when I snapped back to reality and then finally

tucking her in our sheets.

Ding Dong*

The doorbell finally rang at last! Opening the door, I

was greeted by the face of Drake. He walks pass me and directly into our

bedroom. Following after him, I saw how he carefully check at the back of his

palms if she has a fever. Well, it seems like it. “Fever, she definitely

fainted because of fatigue and stress, just look how skinny she is” He looked

at me.

“Don’t ask me, I don’t know whatever the **** she’s

doing, you know that” I admitted. It’s not like I am hiding to my only family

what happened to the two of us.

“For fucks sake Damian, I kept on telling you! If you

don’t fucking love her anymore let her go, say it straight to her face”

sternly, goddamn it! How many times do I have to hear that from all of them,

they just didn’t get it?

“And then? Where will she go after that? On the fucking

streets? Let her save up money first before living this apartment.” I

retaliated.

“Whatever you hard headed scum.” He rolled his eyes.

“at least tell me the things you have noticed while the two of you are

together” he continued while checking her pulse rate and blood pressure.

“Well, I would fucking suggest she was on drugs, she’s

disoriented and also pale the whole time and as you could tell, she have become

so skinny even tho I bring food in this apartment every week without fail, I

didn’t neglect her need if ever you want to blame me” I said sternly as well, I

know where this conversation is going so, I have to tell it in advance.

“I wouldn’t really say she was on drugs it could be

other symptoms *sigh this could be a lot easier if you just drive straight to

the hospital where they could give you a fast diagnosis” I could tell that he

is frustrated, but who cares.

“What’s the point of you being our private doctor

then” We were both getting frustratingly irritated with each other. Any moment

now and I will burst into anger. Why does it feel like he was telling me in his

gaze that I did something wrong?

He was about to say something when we noticed that

Cloud is shifting on the bed, slowly opening her eyes. It took her a while to

notice that she was no longer at the mall. She attempts to sit up and Drake

assisted her. Tsk

“Drake? Oh… Wh-what brings you here?”

Hmm? Is the two of them having an affair? “Flirting as

soon as you wake up Cloud? That became a habit to you huh?” she bowed her head feeling

embarrass, not saying another word. That’s what you get for being a bitch.

“Just shut your mouth Damian, will you? I told you,

she’s stress out.” I raised my eyebrows, because I swear if my intuition is

right and the two really do have an affair, I’m gonna beat Drake to a pulp.

Then I will dump ugly Cloud on him. “How the **** is she going to answer to my

questions now huh?! Leave the room”

“No that’s not happening I’m not gonna let the two of

you have your quality time here in my house” Drake wasn’t able to do anything

but mutter a “fuck you” to me.

“Fill this container up to this line with your urine

Cloud that should do it, I will also get your blood once you come back.” Drake

handed her the container but she didn’t take it immediately. Instead, she looks

at me asking for permission. I signal her to go to the bathroom in which she

obeyed.

“Stop abusing her” he spoke as soon as she walked out

of the room, closing the door behind her

“Abused? I never hit her this whole time. Even after

knowing what she did to me” I said flatly

“You just don’t understand do you sigh* you

need a thorough counseling Damian” tsk who cares “When do you plan to propose

to her again?”

“Shut up for now Drake you’re crossing your line, you

might be my brother but I only called you here for your diagnosis.” I glared at

him “It’s not your business to pry”

No one dared to talk after that. Drake gave up arguing

with me, and that’s great. The silence only broke when the door creek open. She

silently gave the sample to Drake and stood there awkwardly. Seemingly

understanding the tension between me and my brother, she finally offered to

walk him out of the apartment.

Cloud came back, but as soon as she enters the room,

she asked a question I wish she didn’t

“Who is that girl? – in the mall…” still not in the

mood because of the conversation I just had with Drake. I finally snap at her.

“I told you it’s a fucking comrade, why do you care?!”

the nervousness I felt a while ago vanished just like that.

“Nothing” she whispered

“Why is it. That every single time I come back to this

apartment. My apartment. I feel nothing else but stress?! It’s either you try

to do some fucking stunts to annoy me, or pry in my life.” She is bowing her

head the whole time.

“It’s just that, I-I used to know every workmate you

have and---” I cut her words “Fuck off”

“Wh-what?” she looks at me confuse “She called you

‘Kai’ you don’t want anyone calling you that” my heart aches hearing her so

close to crying, but I just couldn’t swallow my pride.

“Maybe I’ve changed just like you” She gave me a

bitter smile and turn around not saying another word.

Little do I know that this is the day where we are

getting closer to our end.
