Chapter 8: Regret....

Venessa's pov.

I overreacted and blew things out of proportion because I was jealous.

Deep down I knew Layla would never cheat on me,

But I had to express my doubts to atleast someone.

I parked the car and got into the house.

Denise smiled when he saw me but once he saw my tears,

He rushed to hug me.

I told him how I had found Rebecca on Layla's lap.

Than I told them that Rebecca said they are engaged.

He pulled me into his arms as Darren came down stairs.

"What is going on here? Baby girl are you alright?

Denise what happened?"

Asked Darren as I pulled away from Denise to go hug him.

"Layla turned out to be a liar and a cheat is what!

She's getting fucken married, can you imagine?"

Scoffed Denise offended before leaving the room.

"How about we go upstairs and you tell me all sides to the story.

Make sure you leave nothing out because I saw how much you like Layla."

Said Darren earning a guilty look from me.

I was in his room downing a glass of whiskey.

I felt a little tipsy and spoke honestly.

"She didn't cheat on me, I mean she couldn't of,

I regret underestimating Rebecca and befriending her.

I should of picked up on the fact that Layla didn't want to be alone with her.

But her kiss ass of a girlfriend left her with a hoe."

I said before sobbing and falling on the bed.

Darren rubbed my back and I told him everything else.

I heard a car engine go off and I lifted my head and saw it was Layla.

I smiled happily to which Darren laughed.

"I'll go and bring her here, since you can't get up."

I nodded desperately and made a mental note to not drink ever again.

Suddenly Denise was shouting at Layla and I got up feeling light headed.

I slowly leaned on the walls for balance in hopes that I make it before Denise says too much.

No please. Don't insult her Denise.

I felt sick that Denise was speaking to Layla so aggressively because of me.

Darren tried his best to defused the situation but the damage was done.

By the time I got there Denise had Ice over his palm.

"W-what happened?" I asked not understanding why he would be hurt.

"I didn't take you for a man who would hit a woman Denise.

Have you done it before? I was also upset but it never crossed by mind to slap Layla."

Said Darren and he gasped in surprise when he saw me.

Denise couldn't meet my eyes at all

"What did you do dad?

I need to go after her and apologize!"

I said grabbing my car keys.

Darren took away my keys and pocketed them before hugging me.

"Did you cancell a date with Layla, to go meet Rebecca's father? "

Asked Denise out of nowhere looking at me.

"Yes but I can explain-"

I said before Denise cut me off.

"Tell me you didn't drink champagne with that Rebecca,

And let her massage you infront of Layla?"

Said Denise looking at me with open judgement.

"I didn't know...I mean Yes it happened but I didn't think much of it.

When you put it like that it sounds bad."

I said regretting my actions, I was so cold with Carson Cole my former boss.

Yet I was in cahoots with my new boss and openly friendly.

Layla must have picked up on it but decided to trust me.

"Oh my God I hit Layla for nothing. Rebecca is baiting us and like a fool,

I danced to the music of her guitar."

Said Denise looking regretfully at me.

He was right, this is probably what Rebecca wanted division.

I pulled out my phone and cried happily when Layla answered.

I quickly went to the kitchen for some privacy.

(Phone call between Layla and Venessa)

Layla: I'm at Carson's birthday party. I'll come see tomorrow if you'll allow me.

Venessa: I'm so sorry for how I acted, I love you and Don't want to lose you.

Layla: Have you been drinking again?Where are you?

Venessa's: I'm at home.

Layla: I love you too, I'll come see you tomorrow,

I gotta go, it's time to cut the cake.

(Layla hanged up)

I let go of a breathe I didn't know I was holding.

There was a knock on the door and I dragged myself there,

Thinking it was Layla.

I was speechless when I saw it was Rebecca.

"Listen I came to apologize for lying to you.

I had one too many and got really jealous."

Said Rebecca.

I stepped aside to let her in, I wanted her to explain herself.

Because I really thought we were friends.

Imagine my surprise when Rebecca kissed me!

I was too drunk to push her away but I did try.

When she pulled away for breath.

I screamed Darren's name before she kissed me again.

Darren pulled her off me and she looked at him embarrassed.

"Who are you young lady? And why you trying to take advantage of Venessa?

Can't you see she's drunk?

Wait you are drunk too! Did you drive here as drunk as you are?!!!"

Asked Darren shielding me from Rebecca.

Denise walked in and was stunned.

"Who is this pretty one? What is going on am I missing something?"

Said Denise looking at me.

"You didn't answer my question young lady!"

Said Darren louder to which Rebecca trembled.

"Look, I love your daughter and I'm not saying that because I'm drunk."

Said Rebecca before falling on the couch.

She better leave before Layla comes, I Don't have time for her antics.

"Send her away Paps! She can't be here, oh gosh if Layla finds her here tomorrow!"

I said as my eyes watered. Why did I bother opening the door?

"No baby she will have to stay the night, she's already passed out.

It's not safe for her to drive in her state."

Said Darren looking at Rebecca worried.

"Why didn't you tell me that you have a hot side piece?

Your relationship with Layla must of been her breaking point.

She's so pretty, how come you chose Layla when she's still in the picture?"

Asked Denise stunning me to silence.

Did he really think she's my girlfriend?

"She's a bold little thing, she wasted no time kissing Venessa.

Vanessa, be honest what is she to you?"

Asked Darren but the words caught at my throat.

The alcohol put me to sleep even though I fought to stay awake.

The next morning

My head was pounding and I turned arround to see a woman lying next to me.

I jumped out of bed falling on my ass.

There's no way!

Out of all the people I could of woke up next to.

I fell on the floor calling my Dads.

Rebecca's eyes fluttered open and she frowned when the light hit her face.

She looked at me casually before her eyes went big.

"Where the hell are my clothes? Why are you in my room?"

Said Rebecca before holding her head in pain.

That's when I felt the cold breeze on my completely naked body.

"This is my room, oh my gosh you need to leave NOW.

Layla said she will be here and she's probably on her way here.

Stop staring at me and get fucken get dressed and get out!?!!!!"

I shouted and heard my dads approach my room.

"Nessa? Your friend is not in the guestroom.

Where is she?"

Said Denise.

"Maybe she left Earl-" Said Darren cutting himself off.

As they walked into to my room.

I had managed to wrap myself in a bath robe to cover myself.

But Rebecca was too slow laying there completely naked.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse.

Layla walked in.

She dropped the flowers she was holding and her eyes looked so scary.

"Really Rebecca? So this is the game you have started?"

Asked Layla before pulling Rebecca by her hair and dragged her out of my room.

"What the fuck? That's Rebecca?

As in the crazy exe gf of Layla?

I sure as hell didn't see that coming!

Talking about a bloody plot twist."

Said Darren amused and Denise covered his mouth in shock.

I on the other hand was suffering from a terrible hangover.

I know for a fact that nothing happened but I needed to check the camera on my teddy bear to be sure.

"Get your clothes and leave Rebecca!?!?!"

Shouted Layla at the top of her lungs.

"I swear nothing happened! I would remember if I had sex with her.

I certainly wasn't that drunk if I had strength to take my clothes off.

I didn't touch her, I always sleep naked so I must have thought I was in my room."

Said Rebecca who finally got dressed and looked at me apologetically.

"Venessa I would never have sex with you as drunk as we were.

Does you body feel any different?

I bet on my life It don't!"

Screamed Rebecca before massaging her sore head.

"Let's go watch the footage in my room. There is a camera in my room."

I said and watched Layla look at me hurt.

Rebecca laughed smugly, instantly agreeing.
