I dropped my things on the floor in the entrance hall and headed straight upstairs for a shower. I didn't know where Kassie was. I set the temperature to hot and stripped myself of my clothes before jumping in.
I stood with my head under the shower head, the water pelted my scalp and surrounded me. The hot steam filled my lungs and I could barely breathe, but it felt satisfying. My life hasn't been simple; there had been times when I wanted to die, but I kept going and this slight suffocation was a reminder of that. I'm under the rain cloud, but when I push through it, my lungs will be filled with fresh air once more.
I finished showering and dried myself with the towel before I entered our bedroom. I grabbed knickers from the drawer, a dress from the wardrobe and slipped into them.
I turned my head to see Kassie as she entered the room. "Oh hey Kass." I greeted her. She made her way over to me and pushed me against the wall. She pressed her lips on my neck. I let out a small moan before she pulled away.
"You've been a bad girl Jessica." she said in a monotone voice. She wasn't playing anymore.
"What do you mean?" I asked, my breath was taken away by her abruptness. I knew she could be psychopathic, but I had never been on the other end of it.
"You made a deal with the devil didn't you? Don't deny it." she almost shouted.
"Kass, calm down. I don't know what you're talking about." I rubbed her arms to try and soothe her, but she pulled away from my touch. She looked at me with disgust, like she was repulsed by me.
"Don't tell me to calm down." she shouted this time, her face reddening as the blood rushed to it.
I walked over to her and held her in my arms, we sat down on the bed and I brushed her golden blonde hair with my fingers. "I'm here, darling." I sang softly. "Have you taken your tablets today?" I asked carefully.
"I have." she grumbled. "I know you're lying to me. I have proof." she whispered violently into my ear.
"What are you talking about K?" I sighed at her insistent need to prove that I've done something against her moral code. I mean I had slept with Henry against my better judgment, but this was every, single, time.
She leaned over to the drawer, opened it, grabbed something and shoved them to my chest with force.
The photographs fell into my lap. I flicked through them quickly. Tears brimmed my eyes. Photos of Henry and me kissing, laying together, stripping each other. I placed them on the bed. "This means nothing Kass. This was a mission." I snapped.
"Look at the way you're looking at him. Even I know you're not that good at acting." she snarled.
"Well your father has ordered me to kill him. Do you also want photos of that? You psychopathic bitch." I snapped at her. I was sick of her fucking attitude problem."
"Get the fuck out of my house!" she screamed at me.
"With pleasure." I mumbled under my breath as I grabbed my phone and slipped into my shoes. I stormed downstairs, wrapped myself in my grey coat and left with my hair still wet.
The crisp air bit at my skin as I walked outside. I got into my car and turned the heating up until I couldn't breath. My destination was Henry's, he wasn't safe. I knew that it wouldn't be long before Kassie would call her father and plant her seed of doubt in his mind about my loyalty and ability to get the job done.
I pulled up to his house, stopping the car at the gates, I got out. I pressed the buzzer repeatedly, it must have fucked him off because he didn't answer politely.
"Fucking hell, did your parents not teach you patience. What do you want?" he spat through the intercom.
I pressed button to speak. "It's me Daisy, now will you let me in? It's freezing."
He buzzed the gate open, I walked up his extravagant drive and he was waiting for me at the door. "What are you doing here? Why is your hair wet?"
"There's nothing like a hello." I sassed back. He closed the door behind us. He was quiet. I grabbed his hand as he walked in front and brought him back to me. "I'm sorry, it's just, you're in danger."
"What do you mean?" he frowned slightly.
"I thought I was helping you by giving him who he wanted, but he still gave me the order." I gripped his arms gently. "And of course I can't do that to you." I flashed my moon blue eyes at him. "So here is where complicated, my psychopathic girlfriend hired a private investigator to spy on me whilst I was with you and when I got back she shoved pictures of us in my face. So now she's probably going to call her psychopathic father and get both of us killed." I took a deep breath.
He looked calm, but I could see him processing everything I just said in his mind. "So we have to go like right now?" he asked.
"Pretty much."
"Okay, I just need to get-"
He was cut off my a sound in the other room. We both averted our attention to it. He placed his finger on his lips to say "Shh." and slowly walked towards the sound, folding his shirt sleeves up as he went.
I waited in the hallway, as he entered the room a collection of clashes, bangs and thuds followed. Then he walked back out unscathed.
He touched the white wall under the stairs and I watched as it opened a door. He grabbed a bag from inside. "Let's go." he said.
He really was a man to be reckoned with.
A/N probably going to be updating this every Wednesday from now on.
