Stolen moments

Chapter 47

"Happy?"  I ask slamming the cup on the kitchen slab.

"Very happy" he smirks as i roll my eyes. "So tell me cos i forgot to ask you,  what exactly did your 'knight in shinning armour' did this time"

"And why should i tell you?" I sigh suddenly feeling tired.

"Ouch, aren't i your best guy friend anymore? I can help you take care of him, like man to man... "

"You don't have to settle everything with the fist, stop behaving like a neanderthal" I yawn, rubbing my eyes, I stared at him, everything is getting blurry.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah... What did you say?" I asked him cos i can't recall a thing he said,i only saw his mouth moving, i yawn, i felt dizzy, i hear Antonio calling my name, what did he put in my drink?! I stand up but almost fell down, but a strong arm caught me at the waist, i blacked out.

************************************

Stupid! Am the definition of stupid. I need to start keeping my anger at bay, if it continues to hurt my loved ones. I should have stopped her, i know i should, but my ego got the best of me.

All i did was trying to protect her, she does not understand this. I know you will think am stupid for letting Claire stay over,i should have turned her away as soon as i saw her, i know how she can be sometimes but i did all this to protect Leah.

Claire is from a very powerful family, the Anderson's, they are close family friends, she knows how powerful that name is and she is not afraid to use it. If things had gone Leah's way, Claire can singlehandedly destroy her career. It is very easy, she will just go to all her social media page, painting Leah in a bad image like hash tag Exes and their new catch- got the biggest embarrassment of my life this evening. Some people just can't accept pure friendship.
And i know the media and paparazzi, they will want more 'juicy gist' in which she would gladly give them. See my point, am trying to protect her from all those crazy crap.

I look at the time, it reads 6:26pm. I need to call her and bring her back, she has no ride home and there is no way am taking her back home, we are spending the weekend together no matter what.

I look for my phone, getting dressed. I decided to call her to see if she will pick my calls which i pray she would, it is getting late and if anything should happen to her, i will blame myself. The phone said switched off, i tried it again, still the same. Her phone was on full bars, what is going on? Is she that angry that she would switch off her phone.

I grabbed my jacket, running down the stairs.

"Sir?!" I turn to stare at the head maid.

"Am quite busy now, Hilda" I check my wristwatch nervously.

"Am not going to take your time sir, i just want to say, we are going home for the weekend"

"Don't worry... Claire is around, you can drop the keys with her" I say, i rushed out towards the elevator, pressing the ground floor button. As soon as i got there, i searched the reception area, looking for the familiar white dress. Nothing, again. I got worried, don't tell me that she went home all by herself. Damn!  I tried the number again, still switched off.

I collected the keys to my Lamborghini from the valet, it is much faster, maybe i should call Aunt Emilia, she could be home by now. She picked up at the second ring.

"Hello Hunter.. " her cheery and carefree voice rang out.

"Hi Aunt Emily, how was your day?"
I asked politely.

"It was good, how are you guys over there? She told me she will be with you for weekend" my breath hitched.

"What? She is not with you?" I asked sounding confused.
