Lust, Intellect & Power

Damon and Nicklaus Penrose

Nicklaus kept calling and texting, eventually there were over a hundred messages on my phone.

I can't deny feeling guilty for what I did to him, but the thought of my mother in a country alone with strangers pushed the guilt away, I couldn't talk to Felix about it because he'll just lecture me on how it's for the best and blah blah

I miss her, even though I barely knew her, I remember her oval face filled with freckles, her crooked teeth teeth would show whenever she smiled, her long curly hair down to her back, I remembered her cinnamon fragrance and her dark chocolate skin.

The memory of her physical beauty still vivid in my dreams, but I don't the kind of woman she was, I don't know if she was funny and down to earth or stern and strict.

A tap on my shoulder snapped me out of my memories, miss Gupta gave me a 'are you alright' look, I nod and we left the court house.

I went back to the firm, while miss Gupta went for lunch.

The elavator made a ping noise before it opened, as i was about to step out a rough hand pulled me by my upper arm, I gasp looking up to see a angry Nicklaus

He pulled me into a corner, still squeezing  my arm

"Why won't you answer any of my messages!" He shouted, he was work attired in a dark suit but he looked a mess, his beard looked as if it hasn't been shaved in days, his tie wasn't tied properly  and his shirt was out of his pants.

"I-i'm so-rry" I stuttered, scared at the way he was looking at me,

"That bitch Charlotte is taking everything from me, and-and you know what, it's all fine, but the fact that I gave all this up for you and I still don't have you" he sniffs shaking his head

"Ouch, Nicklaus you're hurting me" I tried to wiggle my way out of his hand, but he squeezes my arm tighter, I winced in pain

"What's going on here!" A strong but young voice yells

"Nothing little brother, just mind your business" Nicklaus scold

Damon

"It doesn't look like nothing, you're hurting her let go" Damon says shoving Nicklaus

He let's go, I rub my aching arm

"Are you okay?" Damon asks rubbing my shoulders

I nod

"This isn't over" a angry Nicklaus says before walking off

Damon brought me into  his office

" do want anything?" He asked

"I'm fine" I say sitting down

"What was that about?" He questioned sitting across from me

"Nothing, look thanks but I have to go" I say standing up

" hey-hey, it's okay...I won't ask about it, just sit down for a second" Damon says, his hands on both my shoulders

I sat down, still rubbing my aching arm

"How are you?...we haven't spoken since" he stopped looking down at me

"Damon I really should get back to work" I say before leaving his office.

The day went by slowly, Damon kept giving interns my work to do saying I should rest my arm.

Pathetic

I went home, Felix made baked chicken and mashed potato for dinner, right after we ate, he braided my hair in cornrows, I showered and we watched 'friends' on Netflix before falling asleep.

I woke in the middle of the night, I tried calling Dimitri but it went straight to voice mail so I went back to sleep.

I dreamt about Jamaica, running into my mother's arms, she was wearing a bright yellow dress and her curls blowing in the wind, and right before she could fully wrapped her hands around me, a loud bang woke me up.

I  woke up stretching, Felix was dressed in a suit looking like a normal gentle man

Am I still dreaming

"Who are you and what have you done with Felix?" I got up

"I have an interview at Marla's" Felix says grabbing my work bag

"And you're wearing a suit, what are doing with my work bag" I scoffed

"Yes Marla is a classy woman and she likes classy men and it's your day off you don't need this bag" Felix says pouting his glossy lips

"Felix no-no" I grab after my bag

He runs down the stairs with me tailing behind him, he jumps over ed sheeran and ran right through the door slamming it shut

"Damn" I say breathing like a dog out of breath with my hands on my knees

After chasing Usain bolt, I made a bowl of cereal and joined ed sheeran on the couch

"He ed what are we watching?" I questing scratching his ginger furr, the TV  was on the business channel,

The reporter lady was taking about Nicklaus's divorce and Richard Penrose losing all his investors after Francois Chevalier, Charlotte's father pulled out.

I switched of the TV, placing the bowl on table.

It was still morning, I decided to wash my hair, I pulled out the cornrows took a shower, washed my hair and got dressed in a crop top and sweats.

I decided to blow dry my hair in the kitchen since I was home alone and there was no one to tell me not to.

The house phone started to ring, I turned of the dryer and answered the phone

"Is this Elaina?" an old but familiar voice asked

"Yes this is she" I answered confused

"It's me Paul...your dad...I need to see you"
