Into the Darkness

“I won’t make that mistake again. You tell him tonight it’s over. You are mine. I do not share and I will not back down. The sooner you realize that the better.” It wasn’t the yelling or screaming that frightened me. It was the calmness in his voice as he said those words.

The lock finally came undone. Rushing out of the private bathroom I made my way to the ladies’, running into Bull’s. “Whoa… You OK, Charlie?” she asked.

I motioned for her to move as I ran into a stall. She laughed because I didn’t have to tell her that I had cum fucking oozing out of my cooch. I wiped myself clean then walked out.

“Please Charlie, it’s not like that doesn’t happen to me all the time. Looks like I was wrong about you,” she smirked.

“What?” I asked.

“You do have it bad…just for the wrong person.”

“Bull’s…” I stumbled on my words not knowing what to say. I mean, Christ, the fucking jizz was still leaking out. Lex had a fucking bucketload. I shook my head, trying to focus. My mind was all fuzzy.

“Listen, Charlie, you can’t always be in control of everything including your thoughts. Sometimes we just need someone to confide in.”

She had a point. I had grown accustomed to bottling up my feelings, but I would not spend my birthday opening the floodgates. We needed to have some fun now. I reluctantly walked back to the table. Lex was nowhere to be seen. I panicked. I didn’t mean to push him away but his words confused me. I wanted him but he angered me so much. I wasn’t his possession and I didn’t like being told what to do. I tried to join in the conversation with Becky and Emma about the latest scandal to rock the Kardashian family but all I could think about was Lex.

A few minutes later I caught sight of him walking back to our table with Adriana. She was chatting away but he looked dazed; she could do that to you sometimes but I knew it wasn’t because of what she was saying. As they sat down, he looked at me momentarily before Rocky started talking to him about baseball. I was glad he came back. But now what? What do I do? He carried on, pretending I wasn’t here which was good because Julian was still here and I had to make a decision tonight. This was stupid. Such a big decision could not be made in one night while drunk on your birthday.

“A very good associate of mine runs the sports department here in New York. It’s the only reason I get great seats all the time. Tomorrow night I’ve got box seats to the Yankees game if you’re interested. I’d like to introduce you to him.” Lex spoke as he finished the last of his meal. He looked famished; of course he would be after that fuck in the bathroom.

“Dude, are you fucking serious? Are you talking about Bradley Sanders?”

“Yes, that’s him. We own part shares in a country club in the Hamptons,” Lex said.

It was all I heard of the conversation before Eric announced it was gift time. I left the seat beside Emma and walked back to my own, adjusting myself as I sat there in soaked panties. I felt uncomfortable. Could everyone at the table see that I had just been fucked by Lex against the bathroom door? Julian didn’t act any different, thank God. He placed his arm around me again, Lex watching with an amused look on his face.

Eric and Adriana spoke in unison, holding a box wrapped in silver paper with a huge green bow. “This is from us and Elijah, of course. Happy Birthday!”

As I unwrapped the gift paper, the box alone made me want to cream my pants. The tanned color box marked with the signature Christian Louboutin was placed before me. I opened it slowly, savoring every moment but excited as hell. Before my eyes appeared a pair of emerald-studded pumps. The studs shone like diamonds as I held them up to the light. They were breathtaking.

“Oh my God you guys… I can’t even… WOW! This is unbelievable! But I haven’t seen these in the fall line?”

“It’s not what you know, it’s

who you know, Char.” Adriana winked at the same time Eric happy clapped. I stood up and walked over to Adriana, Eric and Elijah, giving each one of them a hug. As I sat back like Cinderella, I placed the shoes on my feet. They fit perfectly. The gifts kept coming, and each time I felt more and more grateful to be surrounded by such a great group of friends.

Julian announced that my gift was to be given later. “For you to open in your own privacy.” I looked at him and turned to kiss him on the cheek but he moved so that our lips met.

“Aww, aren’t they so cute,” Bull’s exclaimed as she eyed Lex.

I pulled away. Note to self: remember to beat the shit out of Bull’s later. I didn’t wait for Lex’s reaction nor did I look at him.

“Our turn!” Bull’s and Rocky handed me a box. If birthdays from the past have taught me anything, it’s to open with caution. I undid the bow of the first box, slowly sliding the lid off to reveal hardcopies of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.

“Open the book,” Rocky persuaded. I opened the booked, the inside signed by none other than the author herself.

“Are you kidding me? How on Earth did you get this signed?”

“It’s who you know,” Rocky repeated. I couldn’t believe it. I ran my fingers over the front cover… Oh Christian, we meet again.

“Don’t forget the next box, Charlie,” Bull’s chuckled. I opened the lid of the next box and low and behold my instincts were correct. I lifted what appeared to be a crystal vibrator. “In keeping with the theme of the book and the fact that you broke your rabbit,” she mocked.

“I never said I broke it.”

“Oh my God, that’s just like mine. Right, Elijah?” Adriana pointed out.

Lex cringed. “You did not just say that.”
