The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

I like living here, it is so calm and peaceful. I am someone that likes a place that is quiet. All my life, I have been living in a noisy environment, not that I am complaining but sometimes it bothers me. I need a quiet place to think. Nothing has really happened between me and Lucas, it’s not like I want something to happen.

“Do I really want something to happen?” Yes, but I don’t think it will. He is never home and when he is, I am either at work or am tired or he is tired. Our schedule doesn’t allow us to spend time together but Tobias spends a lot of time with me in his restaurant. He actually works there, no one knows he owns the place, so we all work and talk about ourselves.

He was good to everyone, because of his kindness, one of the waitresses had a crush on him after he saved her from falling on the slippery floor. I pitied her, I tried discouraging her not to confess to him but everyone kept saying I was just jealous that he liked her instead of me. I gave up on doing it, let her face it on her own. I informed Tobias about it, and told him to go easy on her which he agreed but that didn’t go as planned.

He yelled at her and called her cheap, I was annoyed by the way he spoke to her, he would have said “no am not interested or you are lovely girl but I like someone else” that is what guys tells me when I ask them out, especially if I have a crush on them, well I did give up on anything associated with love, crush and stuff like that, I mean for me to ask you out doesn’t mean am desperate, I was just trying my luck anyways, I stopped doing that when my crush in high school embarrassed me, I cried for weeks and refused to school, so I understand how she feels right now. I have never heard or seen him get angry or raise his voice at someone before.

Something or someone must have annoyed him so bad but I didn’t want to talk to him. I ran after Irene. Yes, the girl that confessed to him since her friends didn’t follow her, I had to. “Irene, are you okay?” You were right Arya, he doesn’t like me, I should have listened to you, no one likes me. No, that’s not true, someone out there likes you, I like you and I know you will find someone that will love and cherish you for who you are but that person is not Tobias. She nods, “yes I know.”

Am sure something happened at home, he never yells or gets angry, am sure he will apologise when he calms down. How do you know him so much, are you guys dating because that would explain a lot, no! we are not, we are friends, good friends, am actually dating his best friend.

Oh, I didn’t know you had a boyfriend. “Why will you say that?” You just look so innocent, like someone who hasn’t been kissed or touched before, am so sure you are a virgin. What! No, I have been kissed and am not a virgin, I said actually blushing about it. It is not a bad thing for a twenty-four years old woman to still be a virgin, is it? You are blushing, you really are a virgin but that’s okay.

Look, virginity is a personal thing, I can’t judge anyone on it. “A lot of women feel they want to save themselves for the man who they think they will love forever” how do you know when it is the right person. Are you asking me, I don’t know what to tell you, I just went to a club, followed a guy home and we had sex, I didn’t really care about that stuff, I wanted to just do it and be proud of it. “How was your first time?” It was horrible, we were both dead drunk, I don’t even want to think about it, but the second time was interesting. “Did you do it with the same guy?” What! Fuck no! It was someone else entirely and it was incredible, that’s all I can say. “Don’t be scared, nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood” now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less. Such encouraging words, thank you Irene, no thank you. Friends she brought her hand out for me to shake, sure friends, I shook it. Also, Tobias will apologise “and if he doesn’t?” oh trust me he will.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When I got home, Tobias told me what had happened earlier today. He met Rebecca with her fiancée Brandon at Lucas’ office. He was giving him an invitation card, they had already picked a date which was in two months or so. He got jealous and tried to confront Rebecca about it but she wouldn’t listen. Lucas had to call security to send him out, sometimes I wonder how they are friends, it is quite embarrassing to be sent out like that.

I sat with him trying to be a good friend, he brought out the drinks and we started drinking until we became drunk. Tobias blacked out, while I was still awake, then I got a call from Lucas, I thought he didn’t have my number, I picked the call only to hear the man saying I should come pick him up at the bar, he didn’t go out with the driver today, so I told the driver to take us there.

Tobias couldn’t come with me since I tried to wake him but he didn’t wake up, I did tell him to apologise to Irene, what he did was very wrong. He was about to order another round of drinks when I took him by the arm, calling the driver to assist him into the car. I helped him upstairs to his bedroom, he kept kissing my shoulder and I did not stop him, I was actually enjoying it. I think drinking alcohol made you bolder, my fingers moved on his chest raking over his suit, pulling it down. His huge hands closed over mine on his chest, he smiled, well that’s a first, lifted his hand and held my cheek “you are beautiful” he murmured making me blush, he held my waist, drawing me closer to him. I smiled, lifting my face so he could kiss me, which he did, I snaked my arms around his neck, a soft moan escaped my lips. I tried to deepen the kiss, his lips moved to the soft flesh of my neck. I groaned and kissed him harder, more demandingly.

My breast aches when I feel his hot breath on my neck again. He cupped my breast with his palm making me gasp. He kissed my throat, my shoulder, his mouth moved to my cleavage until his tongue was on my nipple. He lifted me and walked towards his bed, he unzipped my dress, his hands traced a path over my waist, he took down my panties, his hand moved between my thighs, his fingers playing with my clit making me shudder. He undid his boxers and leaned over me. He thrust, completely filling me, my eyes shut, I clenched my teeth. I tangled my legs around his hips, pulling him closer, my hips rising at every thrust until I came and he followed after, falling asleep after I untangled myself from him.
