IT WAS ALL LIES RIGHT FROM THE START~ Khloe Diamond

KHLOE DIAMOND
Work was kind of hectic with Hilda on a  month break, I personally advised her to take a little time off to get off Tommy.

Fiona was still out of town, she called in and said she might be gone for a while, I was yet to receive her request for a break since I requested she go through the right channel to take a break.

I was no longer waiting on Chris and I didn't care if he was dead or alive. His Annie was obviously more than enough for him and like Hilda, it was high time I also moved on. I should have done that years ago.

Thinking of a better way to unwind, I decided to take myself on a date, if anyone could take days off, I should be able to take a day. I went from the cinema, to the park and now, I was having dinner at the Gibbies Restaurant.

I remembered the last time I came here, the little drama that happened replayed in my head and I couldn't help but laugh at the ladies level of confidence.

"Oh my, you really came?" I heard a rather familiar voice say.

Looking up, it happened to be him. How was he here just while I was here? Was it really fate as he said the last time or what?

"Uhhhm" I said trying to recollect his name.

"Will, and you are Khloe right?" He asked and I nodded.

Welcoming himself into the seat in front of me, he sat with a smile plastered on his face. I just couldn't still believe a coincidence like this could happen. What were the odds!

"You know, I had my men watch this place every hour of the day since the day I saw you, hoping you'd be back and boom! I got the call that you were here" He explained, answering the tons of questions in my head all at once.

I couldn't help but laugh! That was rather persistent, sweet and creepy, all at the same time.

"Isn't that like another form of stalking?" I asked him and he shook his head quickly.

"You weren't followed, there were only stake outs right here" he said.

I must admit I really loved his smile but I was kind of over love. Over love or over Chris? This could be my ticket to getting over Chris, plus I couldn't let his men's staking out go to waste.

Tons of questions began running through my head again, questions like what he does to have men do stake outs for him.

"I own a business and happen to have quite an amount of bodyguards, blame it on my grandmother. I'm not some dangerous man you might be thinking" he told me.

"Wait a minute, do you read minds?" I asked him and he laughed like crazy.

"It was just the reasonable thing for you to wonder. I said my men, wouldn't blame you if you thought I was some gangster or mafia of sort" he replied.

Blame it on Chris! I'm really blaming this on Chris but why do I seem so attracted to everything he does. The movement of his hand, his smile, the way he spoke and how his lips danced.

I'm totally blaming it on how badly I want to get over Chris.

He insisted he was full and would just enjoy my company while I ate, so I ate and once we were done, he was hell bent on dropping me off.

"I drove" I said giving him the most reasonable excuse ever.

"I can have one of my men drive right behind us and get your car home, I want to drop you home if it means I get to steal more of your time Khloe". He insisted.

This is crazy.

Did I just hit some crazy rich man that has nothing to do with his time? He screams wealth and confidence. I could also tell he wasn't dangerous, or not, I don't know.

"I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that, I hardly know you". I told him, it really doesn't hurt trying to play it safe.

"I get it, how about we get to know each other, meet up sometime?" He suggested and I nodded.

He walked me to my car not after entering his contact into my phone and getting an assurance I would get to him.

Ten years I was stuck on a boy who I met as a man and just when I decided to let go of him there came another. Maybe it had been me not taking notice of every man that came my way all these years.

-*-

I got home in no time only to find a rather familiar figure standing at my doorstep. I parked my car carefully and went over to where she stood.

"Annie, right?" I asked for a confirmation.

"We've met once" she replied and that confirmed it. It was her from the club the other night.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" I asked her because really, I have no business with her.

She sighed!

"As much as I didn't want to do this, I have to for Chris's sake. Please stay out of Chris life if you truly care for him". She told me, it sounded more like a warning though.

"Is this for him or for you?" I asked her.

"For all of us! Listen, I don't know if he told you but Chris and I are engaged to marry. Sincerely I thought you were just like every other bitch he flirts around with for fun and all but I don't think your presence in his life is helping him". She told me.

First off how did I never know he was engaged? He completely hid that part from me or what? As much as I thought I didn't care anymore, this really did hit me hard.

"So your fiancé cheats on you repeatedly, if you are used to it what exactly are you here for? I really wasn't expecting a leave my man drama" I asked her.

It was kind of confusing actually, they never seemed to be engaged except I did wonder what a full grown woman was doing living with a man. Again, Chris had really been wasting a lot staying in that hotel.

"He doesn't fuck with no one okay? Why? Did he fuck with you? No! You can't consider that cheating now can you? Just let him go! I can't believe he bought a house just to stay here longer! His mom is going insane over that". She said, her voice rising with every word she said.

She looked scared, does it scare her that much that she would lose Chris to me?

"Aunt Lana doesn't want him here?" I asked her.

"You know how crazy she can be!" She replied calmly now.

"No, she is the nicest person I have ever met" I told her.

She stared at me like I was saying crap, why? Was I wrong? Soon her it turned into a loud laughter! I must really sound like a comedian.

"Aunt Lanna is the next living thing I fear after her cat" she replied.

"Her cat? She used to be allergic to cats? Can that be cured?" I asked her and suddenly she seemed confused.

Looking at the way we both described her, we seemed to be describing two completely different people. What was happening?

"Tell me everything you know about her!" She requested.

"Come in, let's talk inside".
