The next day everything seemed to be back to normal. I woke up with sore eyes as usual and leaned against the back of the bed. Last night's dinner had been a total failure, I still couldn't understand why my sister was about to marry a manipulative and dirty fucking guy.
“Hello.” The door opened suddenly and I saw Denzel enter.
He was wearing a green cap and a black jacket. Did I mention that he looked too handsome in a cap and jacket? Well, if I didn't, it is.
“Hello. What's happening?” He settled on the side of my bed. “I just got up, and I assure you that my mouth smells of garlic as you told me.” I covered myself in embarrassment.
“It doesn't matter if you smell garlic or some kind of lethal poison, Rebecca Eyre,” he said. “And it doesn't even matter if there's poison on your lips.” He raised his hand and discovered me. “The only thing that matters right now is that you tell me if you really want to be with me or are you…trying something with that asshole.”
“I'm sure you know what I want, Denzel.” I leaned over to open the drawer in the side table and pull out his journal. “Reed threatened me for telling you that yesterday. Actually… I don't know what I want to do. I want to be with you, yes, but I'm not sure I want to…”
“It's okay.” He picked up his diary. “I just thought I could convince you this time. I thought this story was over, but my cousin is a real idiot.”
"And it is," I stated. “I want to do a lot of things with you, Derricks, but I'm not sure I want to now when my whole world has fallen apart. I can't even think about…”
He placed his hand on my bare leg.
“I've never told you, on the contrary, I've denied it since I met you. But I care about you more than anyone, I don't even care about myself if I'm not with you. If I don't chase you or kiss you. I can't even be quiet for a second thinking why you don't get out of my mind. And I knew it, I was sure that you were done with Joe. I never believed that you and that idiot could have anything.”
"I'm happy about that…" I looked down, but he lunged at me and kissed me. “My taste is…” “You taste like garlic, Eyre.” We both laughed.
"Let's go downstairs, I don't want my mother to make a fuss." I got up to brush my teeth when I heard strange screams coming from the first floor.
Denzel walked over and we both tried to listen to the conversation.
"Just do what I tell you, Mr. Tyler, or you don't want your son to pay the price." I covered my mouth listening to my sister.
“Are you threatening me?” Denzel's uncle spoke up. “I can talk to Richard and tell him about this, can't I, Isa?”
“My father hasn't cared about me for a long time.”
"But he'll care when he finds out that you and I don't know who else are manipulating those around you and around Rebecca to…"
"Shut up, Tyler, I have nothing to do with what happens to my sister at her high school."
"If it's not you, then you must know who it is." I looked at Denzel, he was just as surprised as I was.
“Okay, Mr. Derricks, it may have to do with your business in some way, but it's not what you think. All he wanted was to teach him a lesson.”
“Telling my son to manipulate her?” Denzel hugged me.
This couldn't be possible.
"Like I told you, you can't say anything if you don't want Reed to get hurt." Did you understand me?”
So the manipulator was my sister, not Reed.
My boyfriend closed the door and I ran to the bathroom furious. This couldn't be true.
Was my own sister manipulating me?
Once I got a little roasted I went out to hug Denzel, who seemed too worried about the situation.
"I can't believe it…" I sobbed into his shoulder. “I will not let them continue to use me.” I turned away from Denzel and ran downstairs to look for my sister, but found Uncle Richard sitting in the living room instead.
“Uncle Richard?”
"Hello, little one." Uncle Richard was a little old now, he came over and hugged me gently while giving me a suspicious look. “Did you also hear what was happening in the kitchen?”
I nodded.
"They think I'm old and stupid, but I'm a much better listener." He sat back down. “Who is your boyfriend?”
“Denzel Derricks, nice to meet you.” My boyfriend appeared behind me and went to greet my uncle.
OMG.
“I saw your uncle leave this house very angry.” continuous “Did something happen with Isa and her fiancé?”
“All we know is what we hear. Isa has been…somehow manipulating Reed into manipulating me and using me to teach me a “lesson”. I don't understand what lesson you're talking about.”
“Isa has always been the squarest in the family, but she's turned into a monster since she came back to Seattle. She met Reed in high school and they ended up falling in love in California. Who knew the Eyre girls were meant to be with the Derricks.”
"I know, we're irresistible.” Denzel mentioned.
“How is it that we met the Derricks?” I crossed my arms.
“Your mother met Tyler in college, at that time he was with Cindy, a very creative and sweet girl; a person's love But there was more than love between Tyler and Ariadne. It was fire, friendship, good love. But it all ended when she met Isa's father, he didn't want to take over and Tyler suggested that they take care of her together, but your mother met another man, your father, and the same thing happened. It's like your mom and Tyler are in love forever but can never be together.”
“It's quite a moving and sad story in all its glory.” Denzel commented. “Maybe my uncle has always had a crush on your mom, Rebecca, but he's still with Cindy.”
"I don't want to go through the same thing as my mother.” I looked at Denzel.
