My Double Life

Chapter 18

Is it wrong to hit your dad on the head with a table?

I mouth a quick I'm sorry to Richard before I follow my dad out. He sends me one of those million dollar smiles and bows

Truly a charmer...

"You know dad, nobody is going to want to marry me with you always in my business." I joke

"Nobody is allowed to marry you until you're 60 or when I'm dead." He seriously says

I laugh, "okay but I gotta start somewhere either way, I can't just jump into marriage right away. So I think its about time I start dating."

"I think not."

Why are dad's so overprotective. I honestly think this is the reason why girls elope, I can think of a gorgeous somebody to elope with but I'm sure both our dads will not rest until they have hunt us both down

"Did you all have as much fun as I did tonight?" Karen asks as we a pile into the vehicle

I can think of two people who did

"Oh yeah, definitely had a blast." Vicky dear says and everyone apart from Kendrick and I agree

"What about you Ken, didn't you have fun?" Vicky dear flirtatiously asks

He looks at her and looks at me, rolls his eyes and looks out the window again

He's such a sport

"Come on, I'm pretty sure I did a great job at keeping you entertained." Vicky dear adds

This causes all the eyebrows in the car to raise. What did she mean about that?

Not that I care or anything, I just like some good gossip

"Shut up Victoria." He warns

"That's not what you were saying when your tongue was down my throat."

Oh my.....

"I said, shut up." He says through gritted teeth

All eyes snap towards me and it's my turn to roll my eyes and look out the window

Vicky dear is the first stop and she gets out of the car after saying her goodbyes.

Nobody has said a word after her little announcement if i can call it such. I just want to get home, change and think hard about the choices I want to make

Next stop is finally me, and I am relieved because I don't think i would've been able to take much of the tension in the car

"See ya." I say as I exist the vehicle

I get into the house and my dad is already there with Giana.

"I'm so exhausted."

I plop down on the couch next to them and i take my shoes off

"If you weren't dancing with that Richard boy you wouldn't have been so exhausted."

My dad is starting to sound like my mom now and its starting to get annoying to be honest

"Yeah no, we aren't having this conversation. Good night everybody."

I get up and head for the stairs to my room. I drop my shoes and throw myself face first onto my bed, letting out a muffled frustrated scream.

I wake up with a sore neck from the position I had slept in. I should get a medal for being able to sleep in this ball gown

I make it to the bathroom after getting out of the dress and do my morning routine follwed by a nice hot shower

I put on some baggy clothes and go down for breakfast. Nobody seems to be awake yet so I make myself some granola and yogurt before leaving a note saying that I'm headed out and that I'll be back soon

The road to the warehouse was one that was terrifying. I don't know how Randy is going to react but I definitely need to tell him

"I wasn't expecting you here today, is anything the matter?"

"No, everything is fine. I just thought I'd come pay you a visit you know, since we're like friends now."

He looks up at me with a 'What are you talking about' look

"Hey has that clock always been here, it's nice I wonder why I never noticed it."

Okay yes I am definitely stalling but you would too if you worked for Randy. The dude is scary

"Skylar."

"Yes sir?"

"Why are you here?"

"Well.... You remember Vee right?"

"Get to the point."

Grumpy old man

"Funny story, she kinda figured out that I am SkyHigh and I know that's bad, really bad but you don't have to eliminate her. I promise I'll take care of it and no other soul will know."

"Skylar?" He calmly says

No, it's not a good thing. Shit is definitely about to go down

"How the fuck did she figure it out?"

He yells, throwing the glass of whiskey in his hand against the wall behind me.

"You can take care of it, are you insane? This isn't a small matter anymore, who knows who else she told. She works for Ben for goodness sake, if he finds out or already knows you could be in grave danger. Not just you but everyone else you are associated to. Those people are dangerous and they do not give a fuck about anyone."

He throws the entire bottle this time only missing me by an inch

If I knew this was how he was going to react, I would've just taken matters into my own hands

"She hasn't told anyone yet, she doesn't have any evidence."

I try to calm him down but it doesn't seem to be working

"You better pray she hasn't."

"I will take care of it, I promise. She won't tell anyone."

"And how sure are you about that?"

"I don't know yet but I'll figure it out. Just don't do anything to her yet."

"You better take care of it. Now leave my office before I have you eliminated."

He's just kidding... I think

"Boss, Ben is here and he requests to as you." Jones announces as he peaks his head into the office

Both me and Randy give each other knowing looks but before we could do anything, Ben or who I think is Ben storms into the office freezing me as he does

"Old friend, it's so nice to see you again."

Yep, definitely Ben. He looks much older in person. He has silky black hair that has been over gelled, with hints of white hair and a clear shaven chin.

"Who do we have here?"
