I Have Every Right To Be Mad, Right?

“Dri, stop. Please” Spencer called after me, following me while I was heading towards the bar where I had left Emery, I noticed that Conner had left but I pushed that thought to the back of my mind, wondering where Emery had gone.

“Why, so you can try and convince me I didn’t see what I know I saw?” I snapped at him before signalling the bar tender.

“You don’t get to be mad about this.”

“I don’t get to be mad? I don’t get to be mad about the fact that you kept something from me? I’m not mad that you were screwing someone else, I’m mad you didn’t tell me. I thought we were passed everything that had come out on that night when we sat down and told each other everything that happened while we were apart!”

Spencer didn’t say anything, his jaw tightened as he gripped my arm and dragged me down the hallway.

“Let go of me,” I hissed at him while attempting to pull my arm from his grasp but his jaw just tightened even more.

“Why the hell are you mad at me?” Spencer growled at me.

“Why didn’t you tell me you had sex with someone else while you were in London?” The anger slipped from his face as he cupped mine.

“Because it killed me to know that you were dating someone else, I didn’t want to put you through that by telling you about Scarlett.”

I shook my head at him before heading back down the hallway looking for Emery hoping she can distract me what I was just told without asking questions.

Except I didn’t find Emery, I found Alec instead. I made my over to him and he gulped at seeing how angry I was.

“What am I in trouble for this time?” Alec grinned at me but I shook my head.

“Did you know about Scarlett?” I questioned while willing myself to not cry in public.

Alec didn’t say anything to begin with, he just put an arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. “I did try to convince him to tell you, I told him it would backfire but he thought he was protecting you from the inevitable pain of knowing the truth.”

“But she’s here, she obviously works for the same company.”

“Please tell me you aren’t mad that the two of them had something, I don’t know what it was exactly but it was still something because you have no right Dri.”

I took a deep breath before pulling away and facing Alec, “I’m not mad that it happened, I’m mad that it was kept from me. Did he tell you he was the one that forced the two of us to set down and clear the air about everything that happened from the moment we broke up?”

“No…”

I shook my head, I really didn’t want to be here much longer for the night but I also knew I couldn’t sneak out early. Emery would question it, Spencer would follow me and possibly get in trouble for bailing on the event and the senior partners have already spotted me, saying they were pleased with my appearance here.

I tried searching all over the hall in hopes of finding Emery but I couldn’t spot her anywhere, it wasn’t until to the bathroom that I found her hiding out in there.

“There you are! What happened with Spencer?” she exclaimed as soon as I entered and I just frowned at her.

“What was going on with you and that Connor person?”

“He is what you would call a notorious play boy who has set his sights on me,” she scrunched her face up and I instantly knew she was disgusted by him.

“Oh what, that’s a shame he was really hot and aren’t you normally into the whole ‘no strings attached thing’?” I smiled at her innocently but she glared at me.

“Don’t you dare start thinking I will be perfect for him, blah, blah,” she waved her hand around and I couldn’t help but laugh.

I knew I would need Sutton’s help with this one, Emery rarely reacted like that with a guy unless she liked them or someone else. She always flirted and got her free drinks out them and if she was feeling up for it she would go home with them, I have never seen her act like this.

“Spencer was having sex with another girl in London…” I spoke as I walked over and took a seat beside her on the couch.

I also thought it was weird to see couches in women’s bathrooms like this but I suppose it gave us somewhere to sit where we bad mouthed our dates for the night.

“You can’t honestly be mad about that, seriously I thought you were smarter than that and hell Dri you were dating Damon,” she stared at me in shock and this time I glared at her.

“I’m not mad about him having sex, I’m mad that he didn’t tell me.”

“Oh yes that, yes you have every right to be mad especially considering he was the one that wanted to have that conversation the other night.”

Emery was still hanging out at my apartment after our shopping trip the other night when Spencer returned, we both demanded to know why Spencer requested Emery to leave interrupting our girls’ night. He stated his reason and Emery and I stared at each other, she left when we recovered from our shock.

“He thinks he was protecting me, but it hurts more knowing he purposely kept it from me. If we hadn’t had that conversation the other night, okay maybe I wouldn’t be so mad…” Emery scoffed and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“Don’t lie Dri, you would still be mad that Spencer kept something from you, it’s the way you are.”

“Whatever, I just want to go home,” I complained tearing my gaze away from Emery.

“Then go home, you don’t have to be here. You’re here as Spencer’s date, not on your firms invite.”

Emery was right, I didn’t have to be here. I agreed to come with Spencer because I knew the charity was for a good cause and I’ve already done my part.

I quietly slipped out of the hall making sure to grab my coat on the way out before hailing a cab and heading home.

I had just left my bathroom after having a hot shower as soon as I got home, I just hoped the hot shower could wash away my issues.

I was standing in my bedroom wrapped in a towel looking for clothes when I heard the front door slam shut and panic instantly set in, I quickly looked around in hopes of finding a weapon but I couldn’t find anything so I ran for my closet to hide in.

I was sitting on the floor of my closet when I heard the footsteps getting closer, I didn’t know who was in my apartment but I was terrified. I crawled further back into my closet, I was stupid enough to knock something over.

The sound was muffled by the carpet but it was still a noise, I had to put a hand over my mouth to stop the gasp that was trying to escape.

I could hear the footsteps in my bedroom, more panic set in causing me to bury my head in between my knees and chest in hopes they will take what they want and leave, leaving me alone.

“Dri?” my head shot up at the sound of Spencer’s voice.

“You scared me,” I spoke softly causing him to frown before he walked over and squatted in front of me wiping away the tears I didn’t even realise I had.

“I’m sorry babe, I truly am. I honestly think that it’s time you see that therapist, I’ve come storming into your apartment before and you haven’t freaked out like this. I will even come with you because we can’t keep lying to ourselves, I panicked when I realised you were gone and Emery refused to tell me where you went.”

I looked at Spencer, considering how mad we were at each other earlier to see him this worried when we haven’t even talked about the issue yet.

All I could do was nod, “alright, how about I call Kirsten and ask her if she can give us some names?”

Spencer leaned over and softly kissed my forehead before pulling up from my position in the corner of the room.

Apologies

I would like to apologise in advanced. There won't be a post this week since I have fallen sick and cannot look at a computer screen for long. I will post it when im able too but hopefully shouldn't be more than a couple of days.

Who Is She?

I was sitting on my couch going through paperwork for work when I heard my apartment door open. I just assumed it was Emery even if I didn’t know why she would be coming over anyway.

“Honey, I’m home.” I couldn’t help but laugh out at Spencer’s comment. I was too distracted by him being an idiot to even question how he ended up with my spare key.

“What are you doing here?” I questioned before leaning up to give him a kiss.

He pulled away he put out a huge bouquet of flowers from behind his back. “Uh oh, I feel another favour coming on.” I said.

“But you love going shopping,” he grinned at me and I raised an eyebrow.

“What’s going on and how did you get my key from Emery?”

“Because we both knew I would have an easier time of convincing you to go shopping babe,” I couldn’t help but laugh as he jumped over the back of the couch before leaning over and kissing me again.

“And why I am going shopping? Last I heard you complained about how many clothes I have because it takes me so long to get ready before going out.”

“The company is throwing a charity benefit…”

“Oh is that the Thomas Riccet one?”

“How’d you know?” he looked a little surprised but I just grinned at him.

“The senior partners were talking about it today. I was obviously not invited.”

“So you’ll come with me and go shopping with Emery?” he looked so hopeful, I had no choice but to nod my head.

“Of course I’ll go with you, you idiot. I have a feeling that because Emery is coming shopping me with it means she is going. I’m hoping I can convince her to bring Alec as her date because it will be just like old times.” He grinned at me before grabbing my paperwork.

“Ah, be careful with those please.”

“Babe are you really questioning me? I know you and I know how funny you are when it comes to your paperwork. I’m just going to place them on the table and I’m going to fuck your brains out.”

I couldn’t believe just how easily that sentence turned me on, and my god, did he fuck my brains out.

It was the following Friday night and time of the charity benefit. I hadn’t even seen Spencer since this morning and I hadn’t seen his reaction of me in the dress. Is it bad that every time I buy new dresses or lingerie I always try to imagine my boyfriend’s reaction?

I got ready with Emery and we arrived together while we waited for both Spencer and Alec. It actually wasn’t that hard to convince her it would be a lot of fun having Alec there with us. In fact Emery had said that it would be a lot of fun for the three of us.

“My, my, don’t you two look lovely.” I looked over at Emery and wanted to laugh at the look on her face.

I turned around to look at who was hitting on us, “Hi I’m Dri and you are?”

“I didn’t realise you were attending Conner,” Emery said as she grabbed my outstretched hand.

There was obviously something I was missing when it comes to this Conner person. I needed to confront Emery about it but instead something caught my eye across the room.

I walked away from the conversation Conner and Emery were having and heading towards where Spencer was standing with what I would consider to an incredibly beautiful women obviously flirting with him and he was flirting back.

“There you are, I was wondering where you were.” I stepped in beside him and linked my arm through his.

My anger boiled at the death glare the women was giving me but I just looked at Spencer.

“Spence, I must say your date for the night is stunning.”

Date for the night? Who the hell is this woman? I suddenly realized something. She had a British accent.

“Spence?” I growled trying to keep my voice low.

Spencer finally looked at me and the look on his face was enough to tell me everything. He was screwing that woman when he was in London.

Unexpected News

Sutton had finally returned from Paris which meant that her, Emery and I would finally have the chance to catch up.

I felt like it had been forever since we had one of our pizza and wine nights. I knew they would have questions about what happened at Court with Nathan and what was going on with Spencer.

Truth was things between Spencer and I had been perfect, after I told him I trusted him we both decided it was worth another shot. We were worth another shot. He was officially mine again and I was officially his and I couldn’t be more thrilled at the idea of having Spencer back.

It didn’t matter if I had been swamped with work, Spencer was still more than willing to bring me pizza and watch T.V while I worked. I also helped that he loved seeing me sprawl out on my end of the couch and focused like that.

I asked Spencer once why he loved seeing me in just a shirt with my glasses and my hair in a messy bun and his response what that he loved me looking so determined but yet relaxed at the same time and it was sexy to him. I thought he was an idiot and just didn’t question it again.

Sutton was running late, which was unusual for her. Normally I was the one running late and if you asked either one of them as to why they would both say I was too busy having sex with Spencer. It was Sutton that was always early. If you turned up with Sutton to something you would always be at least 10 minutes early.

Both Emery and I were getting worried about where she was at until finally there was a knock at my door and I could see the relief wash over her face. I guess everyone was slightly affected by my attack.

I let Sutton in and she quickly walked in like she owned the place and put the wine she brought in the fridge. I thought something was off about the whole thing but I let it go figuring she would fill us in, hell maybe something went down with Alex in Paris and that was why he was acting weird as well.

Emery went into the kitchen to get the pizza’s she brought over. She had placed them in the oven to keep them warm.

“Where the hell did you get those?” I said as Sutton and I stared at the pizzas.

“Nowhere. I made them, I happened to bribe my usual delivery guy to give me a couple of extra boxes so I could surprise you with these.” Emery grinned at us, obviously pleased with her achievement.

I couldn’t believe Emery actually had the time to make these pizzas. They weren’t even ordinary pizzas. No, these were the pizzas I had seen all over Instagram and Pinterest. They were the s’more pizzas I have been dying to try at some stage but I was way too lazy to even attempt.

“Aww, you did this hard work for us?” I cooed at her but all she did was throw a pillow at me.

The pizzas that Emery made were amazing. I couldn’t believe they actually tasted this good. I mean smores are amazing and so is pizza but whoever thought about combining the two was a god of invention.

“Sutton are you alright?” I asked as she just stood up and headed into the kitchen to grab another bottle of wine.

We had finished the pizza’s and moved on to dessert which consisted of only wine but Emery and I were the only ones talking, Sutton barely said a word.

“Sutton you can’t shut us out, that’s Dri’s thing,” Emery joked.

“Hey!” I exclaimed while leaning over to hit her.

“Dri, how did you cope with Spencer’s weird proposal at your birthday? I know you freaked but how did you two get past it or even cope with it?”

I shared a look with Emery. We hadn’t expected this from Sutton. Last I heard from Sutton about her relationship with Alex she was unsure of his feelings. How did that lead to her asking about weird proposals?

“Sutton what happened?” I asked, hoping more than anything she would tell us what happened between her and Alex.

“It was when we were in Rome. We had gone down to see the Trevi Fountain and there were hundreds of people around, it was packed. We were waiting to get close so we could make our wish and someone proposed. I did the stupid thing of saying how romantic that was,” my jaw literally dropped.

Sutton had always been a mix of Emery and I but when it comes to her relationship she was a bit more private. Both Emery and I knew that she would never want a public proposal. It wasn’t her. She stated she didn’t want the pressure of having to say yes, she wanted to be able to say no if she needed without humiliating the poor guy.

“He didn’t, did he?” Emery asked before I even had the chance.

“He did, a few days later. There wasn’t even a ring. I don’t know what happened, one minute he is telling me how much I mean to him, that he can see his future with me in it. He must have seen the look on my face or something because he covered it up. We didn’t speak until we got back to the hotel room.”

My heart broke at the sight of Sutton, she was on the verge of tears and I had no idea how to help her. I looked over at Emery and she looked as confused as I did.

“When we were in the hotel, I tried to ask him what it was all about. He tried to brush it off saying he was just letting me know how he felt, something about how us taking the trip together reminding him of how much he loved me and how much he missed me between the two of us always travelling. It all ended with us yelling each other. The final thing he said was that he wanted me to marry him. I stared at him, unsure of what was really happening and that was when he said he didn’t have a ring because it was out of the blue and not planned.”

“Good, because had the idiot come to either of us we would have told him not to do it in public,” Emery snapped. She was angry with Alex.

“You just need to talk to him, you’ve been in Paris and he’s been here unsure of what is going on in your head.” I said.

Sutton fell silent after that. All of it reminded me of what happened with Spencer all those months ago. I wondered if it was something we should talk about again now that we were back together or if I should leave it in the past.

“So what’s going on with you and Spencer, Dri?” I tried so hard to fight the blush that appeared on my face but Emery caught it and pointed at me.

“Busted!” she yelled with a huge grin on her face and I buried mine in my hands.

“What’s going on? I would love to take my mind of my own love issues and hear about someone else’s.” Sutton stated and I had no choice but to tell them both, anything to distract Sutton.
