Evil cow.
"Well, I'm out now so go and get me baby."
Aideen saluted me. "On it boss!"
I chuckled as she grabbed her keys and literally skipped out of the apartment.
"Bloody weirdo," I said when she left.
To keep me occupied I spent a few minutes tidying up the kitchen and when I had nothing left to do I sat down. I was sat at my kitchen table only a few seconds when a knock came from my door and I rolled my eyes.
Aideen probably forgot something.
I walked over to the door and opened it. "What did you forget this time-"
I cut myself off when the person I was looking at was not Keela.
"Hello kitten."
It was Alec.
I stared at Alec for a long moment and I noticed he looked like shite, he had bags under his eyes and he looked like he'd lost weight.
He looked how I felt.
I shook my head and tried to slam the door shut, but Alec jammed his foot between the door and the doorframe preventing it from closing.
"Please, kitten-"
"Don't! Don't call me that!"
I pushed against the door as hard as I could trying to force it closed, but Alec pushed back against the door. He was stronger than me and once the door was pushed open he made his way into my apartment.
"Get out!" I screamed.
Alec closed the door behind him and turned the lock.
I walked backwards into the kitchen and looked for a weapon. Alec saw my eyes dart around the room and he frowned as he removed his jacket.
"I'm not going to hurt you Keela, you know I'm not."
I laughed. "I don't know you so I've no fuckin' idea what you're capable of."
Alec looked vulnerable as he stared at me.
I couldn't look him in the eyes so I focused on his chin instead.
"What are you doin' here? Do you not think you have fucked me over enough?"
Alec looked at me, his gaze uncertain.
"I'm sorry... I needed to see you."
"Why?"
He took a deep breath and said, "Because I missed you."
He missed me?
Oh, that was rich.
I humourlessly laughed. "You missed me? Did you miss me when you were fuckin' Everly and Dante?"
Alec flinched. "I deserve that."
"No Alec you deserve to be hit by a double decker bus, that is what you deserve."
Alec nodded his head. "I agree."
I glared at him. "Don't agree with me."
"Okay."
I snarled, "Don't do what I say to appease me either."
Alec opened his mouth to speak but thought better of it and closed his mouth.
He was silent for a moment then said, "I don't know what to do then."
I pointed to the door.
"I do, you can leave."
Alec shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere."
I swore.
"What the fuck is with you and Kane? When I say leave, I mean fuckin' leave!"
Alec didn't move or respond to me and it infuriated me.
"Are you enjoin' this?" I snapped. "Did you just come by to see if I was crying over you? Does it get you off to know what a sick and twisted piece of dirt you are?"
Alec look dejected but I wasn't falling for his sad puppy dog eyes.
No fucking way.
"I'm here because I needed to see you. I told you... I missed you."
"I don't believe you."
Alec swallowed. "I'm sorry."
All the hurt, anger, and sadness that I had bottled up over the past few days exploded out of me.
"What are you sorry for? Tell me exactly?"
Alec didn't speak he only stared at me.
"I'd imagine you're sorry for shaggin' me auntie and that piece of filth of a boy toy. But you have a lot more to be sorry for than just that and you have a lot more to answer for."
I began to pace back and fourth.
"I know it was set up and not somethin' spontaneous, you planned it when the three of you realized you where all in the same place. I've thought about it since I got back home, and it all makes sense. At the welcome party when Everly looked at you knowingly and Dante said, 'Until tomorrow' that was all because the three of you knew what was goin' to happen. That's why you wanted me to go to that party so bad wasn't it? Did you want to triple check where you would all meet or somethin'?"
Alec looked down and nodded his head. "Yeah, I wasn't sure on the details of the meet so when you were up dancing with Micah I sought out Everly and found out."
I closed my eyes.
"And earlier that day, after the welcome dinner, why did you let it go as far as sex between us when you knew you were goin' to be with them?"
Alec looked up and blinked. "It wasn't just sex with us Keela. I wanted to have you... even if it was just once."
I gasped. "You wanted me body at least once because you knew after I found out what you did I would never want you to touch me again?"
Alec licked his lips and looked back down. "Yes and no."
"What does yes and no mean?" I snapped.
"Yes I wanted to be with you because I knew it would be my only chance, and no because I didn't 'just want your body'... I needed it."
I grimaced in disgust and Alec shook his head.
"I don't mean it how it sounds."
"How do you mean it then?"
Alec shrugged. "I don't know how to word it."
I ground my teeth. "Try."
"I don't know what to say Keela, sorry just comes to mind."
I clenched my hands into fists.
"You're a horrible person, Alec Slater."
"Please Keela, I'm not a bad person, I swear I'm not."
I glared daggers at Alec.
"Your actions tell a different story."
Alec shook his head. "They weren't my willing actions. I had to pop a fucking pill just to get it up... I was revolted before, during, and after the act."
He had to take a tablet?
"I don't understand."
Alec looked up. "Let me explain then."
"No, I don't want to hear it, you have said enough."
Alec's face hardened. "I haven't nearly said enough."
I looked away from him.
"I don't give a fuck what you have to say, just like you didn't give a fuck about me when you fucked other people."
Alec cast his eyes downward.
"Don't you dare act like the victim, don't you fuckin' dare."
Alec looked at me, his eyes were sad. "I'm not Keela, I'm not acting like anything. I'm just sick with myself... I'm so sorry for everything I did to you. I swear on my life that I didn't want it to happen, I really wasn't a willing participant."
My heart started to hurt.
"Then why did it happen Alec? Why the fuck did you stray after only a few days?"
Alec look frightened. "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you the truth."
I shrugged my shoulders. "That's a risk you're goin' to have to take because I'm a minute away from callin' me uncle."
Alec's lip curled in disgust. "This is all because of him."
Excuse me?
"Are you insinuatin' that you cheated on me because of me uncle."
Alec looked me dead in the eye and said, "I'm not insinuating it, I'm stating it. Your uncle made this happen."
I blinked and shook my head not sure if I heard him correctly.
"You're lyin'."
Alec shook his head. "No, I'm not."
"You're lyin'!" I screamed.
Alec rushed at me. "No, I'm not!"
I lifted my hands up in front of my face to block any incoming hits.
No hits came because Alec stopped just short of touching me when he saw my reaction to him. He turned then and punched one of my kitchen presses so hard that his fist went through the wood.
"Omigod!" I screamed and covered my ears.
Alec pulled his fist free from the wood and gripped onto the kitchen counter as he took some long deep breaths.
"It pisses me off that you think I would physically hurt you."
"You hurt me emotionally which was just as bad as takin' a punch... I don't see the difference."
Alec turned to face me, his face tense.
