Dexter
I don’t know why I had the urge to protect her but even though she had committed the worst of crimes, I still wanted to make sure no one hurt
her.
She burst into laughter–a laughter of disbelief. It was annoying that my body still wanted her even after knowing her past. She said that she was Tramed and they had a video of us, but it was so hard for me to believe that my friends could do such a horrible thing to me.
There was only one way to find out about it and seeing how affected she was even though she tried to hide it, I knew that I’d have to get to the bottom of the story.
“Stop protecting me, Dexter. I don’t need it.” She flared up, “If you think my stepfather is still after me then don’t bother, he hasn’t called since that day.” She blurted, Bailing her arms in the air.
I cracked a smile and folded my arms. “I know that he has been trailing you for a while but he stopped. And the call, I also know about it.
Her eyes widened in surprise but she didn’t say anything. “Why didn’t you say anything?” She asked softly.
I shrugged. “Because you didn’t trust me well enough to tell me all about it, but I was too uncomfortable to do nothing. He tried to hurt you again but I sent him a warning at least to scare him. No one touches what’s mine,”
She rolled her eyes and let off a tired sigh, and then I noticed the bags forming under her eyes. I’m not yours, but thank you for helping out. Good
night.
I watched her walk away, each other for a while.

We hadn’t seen each other facially ever since the confrontation I had with Blake, but today, I planned to kill a bird with two stones.
Liam told me that Blake was around as I expected. Those two were quite closer to each other than I was with them. They were more like partners in crime and sometimes people mistook them for brothers.
I pressed the doorbell and waited. The door pushed open with Liam standing behind it. “Finally, you’re here. I thought it would take a long time to visit us.” He shook my hands and ushered me into their living room where Blake was focused on his game.
“Blake man” I hailed him and he got up with a smirk, then gave me a manly hug.
Ever since Lorraine told me her side of the story, I began to see them in a different light. Though I refused to acknowledge it, I was actually imagining them trying to coax her into sleeping with them so they wouldn’t leak the video.
It wouldn’t affect me much because I was a man but her, it would do a great deal of damage to her budding career. If there was a video, I had to get hold of is before they thought of doing something funny with in.
“How have you been, mant It’s been ages since you came here.” Liam chuckled and disappeared into an adjoining room; the kitchen perhaps.
“Im so sorry about that, but I didn’t forget you. The last show got me all caged up and I had to make sure it was a success” I said.
Blake snorted and paused the game. “You aren’t CEO of Hemming corporations for a reason, you can employ people who would make your work
“Dexter is a workaholic, he wouldn’t listen Liam added as he came out holding three glasses and a bottle of Macallan M whiskey boile

was glad he quickly stopped himself from calling Lorraine a bitch or I have beat him up again. A small part of my heart kept telling me that
tre would be a good reason for sleeping with them, if it happened.
“Someone set her up. One of the models didn’t like her so I had to step in to save face. Tim glad it all turned out well, though” I replied casually so that they wouldn’t think I was defending her

“Set her up? That lady has always been clumsy all her life, that’s why she’s always making silly mistakes” Liam grunted, while I flashed a cursory glance at him
He shifted on the chair, baring his lips like he had said something wrong. I was going to feed on this. “It’s really annoying you know, if she keeps acting this way Ull have to five her”
Blake decidest to but in at this poin, seeing how I was beliling her. “Of course you should. Lorraine isn’t to be trusted;
“Is she?” They both stares at me, anxiety masking their fakes calin expression. “I mean she slept with the both of you for whatever reason and then she decided to come into my life once again”
plake got up his feet, whirling the glass cup while propping his other arms against his waist. “Now you’re getting it, Dexter. Look, I can show you the video once again if you didn’t believe us at first. He proposed.
Liam made a whistling sound but Blake asked him to calm down. “Let me get my phone.” I le scurried around while I waited quietly

I quickly shared it to my file and cleared off the link that showed what I did, then focused on the video which got my blood rising.
Lorraine made mention of our sex video they had but I wasn’t seeing it here. So I focused on the one that Liam gave to me, my body taut anger as I watched Lorraine tossing off her bag onto the bed.

She threw her fists at him as if she was trying to fight him but the man in the video overpowered her and pushed her onto the bed.
It took all the self will I had not to smash the phone on the ground. Lorraine had been telling the truth and I didn’t believe her. She was probably drugged and my friends here thought it best to get a video of her.
I got to my feet, having gotten the information I wanted. Then I returned his phone, clenching my fist. “Tll see you both soon.”
