Chapter 16

RICHIE'S MANSION*

Richie was was sleeping peacefully on a bed when someone came into the room with a shinny kitchen knife, walking towards the bed.

He tiptoed carefully till he got to the bedside and raised the knife up.

He was already bringing it down to Richie's head when he screamed back to reality.

It's a dream, his usual dream.

He was sweating so much as he quickly got down from the bed.

He rushed into the bathroom and poured water on his head, still breathing heavily with a racing heart.

"When did I even climb the bed?" He muttered, closing his eyes in front of the mirror.

He actually locked the door on himself so Jessica wouldn't come in, since last night.

He felt horny throughout the night, but he had to stay in the tub throughout just to calm himself down. F**king Jessica is out of it for now, not after she did threesome with some bastards.

He left the bathroom after drying his hair, and he got his phone, dialling the only number he could think of

*

LOVELYN'S PLACE*

"My legs hurts badly, who knows what he's gonna tell me to do in school tommorow?" Lovelyn lamented as she sat on her bed, massaging her own leg gently.

"It hurts" she muttered, and her phone rang beside her.

"New number?" She blinked, taking it skeptically.

She swiped green. "Hello? Who's this please?" She asked.

"Hey, Love" the cool voice said, and her eyes widened as her ears recognized it immediately.

"Richie?"

"Glad you know my voice, what ya doing?" He asked, and she came down from the bed before replying.

Her heart was beginning to race as usual, and it was madder this time, maybe because of how good his voice sounds on phone for the first time.

"Nothing, just idling away at home alone, mum is not back from work" she replied, drawing on the floor with her toes.

"No plans for tonight?" He asked.

"I have none" she replied, raising her lids in anticipation.

"Wanna go on a stroll down with me? I think I need some air but don't wanna go alone" he said and she smiled.

"Sure, where we meeting at?"

"The deserted arcade, no wait... I'll come pick you up" he said.

"No! I know the arcade you're talking about so I'd meet you there" she replied.

"Take your time please, I'll be waiting" he said.

"Ok, I'll see you" she replied, hanging up.

She totally forgot about the pains in her legs and opened her small wardrobe, fishing out almost all the dresses before finally settling for a short jean skirt and a hot red net top.

She dressed up in the two and put on the only black boots she has, then she evenly combed her hair, allowing it to fall freely.

She wore natural makeup and carried her small black bag, rushing out of the room.

She didn't call Jackson to bring a car since it might take too long, she boarded a taxi instead.

It's a ten minutes ride from her house to the arcade, and immediately she came out of the taxi, he's the first person she saw. He was already waiting.

He's leaning on his car, pressing his phone. He's putting on baggy jean pants, then armless white shirt, showing off his arm tattoo.

Just his posture like that is s*xy, he doesn't even have to move before claiming it. His s*xiness mystifies her, and it even went deeper tonight. She could even smell his perfume despite their distance.

"Miss, you should pay me" the taxi driver spoke, bringing her back to her senses.

"Oh I'm sorry!" She quickly unzipped her bag and brought out her card...

"No I'll pay" Richie's voice said beside her, and she was surprised to see him close already.

"I'm paying in cash, do you mind?" He asked the driver.

"I don't" the driver replied, and he got some dollar notes from his wallet, handing them to him.

"But this is times ten of her fare" He said surprisingly.

"It's to thank you for bringing this pretty girl here safely" Richie smiled, and Lovelyn felt her cheeks reddening.

He's so good with words and it drives her crazy each time.

"You're so sweet, and your girlfriend is really very pretty" the driver said happily as he drove away.

Richie faced her afterwards, and she was even lost for words as he checked her out, staring at her from her head till her boots, then he looked back at her face.

"I love what you're wearing, plus you really look hot in red" he said, and she slid a piece of her hair behind her ear as she bit her lip shyly.

"You too, you look..." She said slowly, and he raised his brows.

"Look what?"

"S*xy... everytime" she replied, and he smiled.

"Can I help with your bag?"

"Huh? It's not really heavy" she replied, and he took it from her.

"I want to" he said, and she smiled as she looked at the arcade.

"It's more beautiful at night" she said.

"Sure, that's why it's my place of nocturnal peace till now" he replied, still staring at her.

"Let's go then, let's start the stroll" she said, staring back at him.

"Can I...hold your hand throughout?" He asked, and she blinked.

"Huh?"

"It's ok if you don't want to, let's go" he said awkwardly and started walking into the arcade, but immediately he took the third step, he felt Lovelyn's hand sliding into his own.

He looked back, and their eyes met.

He smiled and made an interlock their fingers, but she gasped softly when he pulled her closer with it, so she's right in front of him, though she's obviously shorter.

Their hearts were racing together as he raised their interlocked hands to his lips, and he didn't ask for permission this time before kissing the back of her hand deeply with his eyes closed.

"Richie..." Lovelyn bit her lip as her heart thumped pretty insanely.
