Chapter 56
Zendaya’s POV
We had a fascinating dinner and by the time we were about to leave I could tell that I had enjoyed his company.
Surprisingly there had not been a dull moment which had almost made me punch him in the face. Everything had been good.
His jokes were on point and I loved when talked about his time with the politicians during his senate meetings. I found that particular joke to be funny.
An hour after spending time with him in the restaurant, he paid and we were laughing while leaving arm in arm.
He walked me to my car as he kept up the joke about the senate meeting he had attended while drunk.
“And they didn’t know?” I asked in shock as he jumped over a puddle while still holding me.
“They had no idea!” he bawled out laughing as his face shone red with laughter.
I could say that being with him had not been as bad as I had pictured it.
If he was not my ex husband I was sure I would not tell that he used to be a terrible man. I would fall for his tricks.
We walked to the car as he let me go while I got the keys out of my bag to open the door.
It was awkward opening the door while he stood there. I usually left on my own and did t have anyone beside me but instead here he was in my personal space and I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
He grabbed my waist as I almost dropped my keys, with a smooth smile he leaned into my space.
“I liked this date,” he said with a smile. “I would do anything to see you again.”
I rolled my eyes after hearing this. He has to be joking of course because no sane man would say such words and think it was slick.
“I’ll think about it,” I said, littering out of his grip.
Getting into my car with a sigh of relief, I banged the door as I started the car and slowly drove out of his sight. I silently thanked my lucky stars that I had not turned into a murderer because I had almost had the urge to stab him in the neck after he had pulled me to him.
When I arrived home I had my phone buzzing as I found a text from the man.
‘Never deny me anything again, Zendaya. I need you by my side.’
Well that was shocking, I scoffed. Who did he think he was sending me a message like that?
Did he think we were cool after how he has treated me in the past? He must have been crazy to do that and think he could waltz into my life with this stupid text.
I started to wonder if his wife knew about his stupid moves on me. The poor woman had no idea what the man was doing behind her back.
She had no idea her husband was cheating behind her. He had no right to send me those messages and the urge to block him was strong.
I smirked while fondling with the keys to open the door.
Destroying Asher’s marriage and his reputation would be the best gift I could get for myself. I needed something like that. At least to start the new year or at least end it.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
I entered the house to see how quiet it was on my to see the maid sitting in front of the television.
“Welcome madam,” she said as I smiled at her. “You look lovely.”
“Thank you. Where are the kids?”
“They slept early today. It seems like they had a very long day at school because after their classes they came back and fell asleep.”
“So they haven’t done their homework?”
“They did not have any. I made sure of it.”
“Did they at least eat something?”
“Yes. Sandwiches.”
“Great,” I sighed. “Is it finished? Because I am really hungry and I’d like to eat some of those sandwiches.”
“I can get them for you if you want.”
“I’ll get them myself thank you.”
I entered the room as the maid said something about going home before I changed into something more comfortable.
I entered the kitchen to get something to drink. I needed it as the fancy restaurant had just been overpriced but they had served nothing but garbage.
The food had been the only thing good about the place but it didn’t justify the terrible drinks.
I heard the front door open with someone falling around and stumbling.
Walking there to see Travis wrestling with his tie had me smiling sheepishly.
He looked so sexy in his clothes I could not see how women were not fawning over this man.
“Hey beautiful,” he smiled, coming to kiss me. “You’re home early. How was your date?”
When he kissed me I noticed he reeked of alcohol and he was also drunk. I hated him drunk and I was not about to let him go off easy.
“Where have you been?” I watched him walk to the couch to fall into.
“Oh yeah, you know m-my friend R-Rowan?” he hiccuped. I immediately nodded as I knew who the man was. I only tolerated the man because he was Travis’s best friend.
I did not like him because he was a flirt and a womanizer and a bad influence to Travis. I also knew that Rowan didn’t like that I was with Travis. I always found the man to be a terrible influence and if I had my way I would cut their ties.
“Come on Travis, you stumbling in drunk is not a good example to the kids,” I sighed. “You should know this. The children take after what they see.”
“Of course,” the man grunted. I didn’t like his tone of voice with his reaction as I knew something was wrong.
“What is it? What is the matter?”
