CHAPTER 49

"Have fun."
Derrick said.

I glanced at him and shook my head. He needs help.

"Bye, TJ. I see you are really busy, dude."

"Bye, uncle."
TJ said without taking his eyes off the screen.

I walked out of the ward and straight to the receptionist at the waiting hall. The beautiful lady seemed to have taking a liking to my and was smiling flirtatiously at me.

After all the routine, I was ushered into an empty office to wait for the doctor.

It was almost fifteen minutes and I was already getting irritated.

"I am so sorry for the delay." Came in the female voice. And I waited for the owner of the voice to show herself.

As soon as she walked to her desk and turned to sit, her speed slowed.

Well, what do you know? It is the bravado after all.

"Hello, doctor."
I said, hiding my amusement.

She cleared her throat and lowered her gaze at the folder in front of her, then went to the computer and typed away.

I could see her gaze constantly shifting from the screen to my face and I was already prepared for this moment.

The universe is a bitch, after all.

Lala's POV

"Why did you do it?"
I asked Kendrick, leaning forward so he could hear my whisper.

The restaurant was packed with customers and everyone was so focused on what they were doing there. I honestly don't know why I'm whispering.

He sighed and rested his forehead against his palms. He looked up at me. "It was a mistake."

"A mistake. Really? I don't know why this whole thing had to happen after school closed for the semester. I wanted to teach that serpent you have for a sister, a lesson she will never forget."

"Leave AJ out of. . ."

"Are you serious? She planned the rape."
I said and looked around to he sure no one heard. Satisfied, I turned to him again.

He ran his palms over his face. " Lala, I am sorry for what happened. I feel so bad. I've always felt this way since I made that mistake. I'm not a rapist. I will never sleep with a woman against her wish. But that night. . .I can't explain what happened. "

"Maybe we should just go and ask your sister to explain what happened. Because no one knows what happened. No one except her. Everyone who was involved in this, doesn't even know what happened. But she does."

Kendrick nodded. "Yeah, I know. We will take care of AJ."

"You know the reason why she keeps messing up? Because you all are cleaning up her shit. You cover up for her when she commits a crime and she feels it will remain that way. No, Mister. I will deal with her."

"Lala."
He placed his hands over mine. "Forget about AJ. She is in a big remorse right now."

"She should die in it. For the love of God, she used me to get back to Melanie again. Because of her crafty nature, Melanie is hurt. Again. And I'm the path to that hurt. Again!"

There was a brief silence.

"I don't know, Kendrick. You and I can't. . . It's not right."

"Not right? Why not? I love you, you love me so what's not right?"

"The fact that you are Melanie's rapist." I said to him.

He leaned back in his seat and studied me.

"I can't do this to my friend. She s hurting, Ken. And it is because of what you and your brothers caused. Believe me, if it had been something else, I would not hesitate to be with you, but this. . . This is more than anything."

He was silent. Then he looked away and sighed. "If we hadn't broken up, if we were still together and you found out about this, would anything change?"
He turned to look at me.

I nodded with my eyes on him. "Everything will change."

He leaned forward, placed his head in his palms. He looked up at me. "I want you, Lala. I love you. I'm sorry, it took me long to say it but, I do."

"It is bad timing, Ken. I love you too. But, I can't do this. This is betrayal. I can't betray my friend like this."
I told him.

God knows that I want to be with Jim again. But them, it won't seem right to do that. Melanie needs me now more than ever and this would seem like a slap to her.

Kendrick nodded.

Jenna's POV

I felt his hands slid up to mine. I felt his tongue dig into my mouth as he tried to seek dominance.

I moaned. Yeah, I did. Because he was a good kisser and I have never been kissed this good since Derrick.

Not Sam. Derrick, my cousin who had taken my virginity during a dare. I had given it willingly though.

He was to teach me to have sex. And he did.

I felt his hand lift me up and crowd me against the wall. He liked it rough. So do I.

I wrapped my legs around his waist and grinded my center against his aroused crotch. I was already feeling wet and wanted it to come in as soon as possible.

I let a sigh of relief when he threw us both on the soft bed, causing our bodies to bounce which made me more aroused.

He kissed my neck and shoulders and I tilted my head to the side to give him access.

But he stopped and looked down at me.

"What is it? Go on."
I told him.

He smiled. "Is the itch gone now?"

I frowned. What did he mean?

He pushed off me and sat up on the bed. I leaned my waist on my elbows as I stared at him, anger arising.

"I wanted us to talk."

"You bastard! You think this was a game to you?"
I snapped at him and pushed off the bed, looking for where my shoes must have dropped.

This was his apartment and there was no way I was finding those shoes. I didn't even know where they dropped.

"Wait."
He held my hands and turned me to face him.

"Get your hands off. . ."

"Wait, Jenna."

I looked at him.

"I want to help you. I do."

"You can't help me. You are in no position to help me. You have no right. . ."

"I can. Not everyone is out to use you, Jenna."
I paused to look at him.

Use me?
How would he know that?

"What?"

"You just happened to be in a wrong circle. Not everyone is a monster."

He told me.
