Chapter 21 - Stalker
Lucy couldn't help thinking about her new driver as she worked. What was she going to do about all of this? It really didn't make sense to her that of all people in the city that could have been employed, it just happened to be him. Why? She wondered as she stood up from her seat and started pacing her office.
She needed to talk to Sonia about it before she would explode, so she paused long enough to pick up her phone and dial Sonia's number before she started pacing again.
"Baby..." Sonia greeted with a yawn as she stretched out on her bed.
"Don't tell me you just woke up. Wait! Did you sleep with Bryan Hanks?" Lucy asked excitedly.
"Who says 'sleep with' these days? Come on love, you should summon up courage to use the appropriate words. Keep up with the trends. You should trying saying words like fuck, smash, shag, score, screw, bone, nail, pound, bang etc. There is just so much I need to teach you." Sonia said with another yawn.
"WOW! Is that all you ever think about?" Lucy asked in amusement. She hadn't realized there was this much words to describe something as simple as sex.
"Well, that's how I came into the world after all." Sonia said with a giggle as she sat up on her bed. She hadn't realized she had slept for so long. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com
"Whatever. So did you shag or bone him?" Lucy asked, deciding she preferred the sound of shag to fuck. Fuck sounded too raw and unrefined... She closed her eyes when a picture of herself yelling 'fuck' as Tom ate her honeypot crossed her mind, 'Shit!' she muttered when she felt the fingers of lust gnaw at her lower abdomen.
"No I didn't. As a matter of fact I jilted my darling fiance." Sonia said with a giggle. She couldn't help wondering what he must be thinking. She could bet her last cash that he was relieved that she had left him in peace. He was in for real surprise if he thought she was that easy to shake off.
"Jilted? How? Why?" Lucy asked in confusion, momentarily distracted from her own dilemma.
"Well, I think he's going to make a good muse for my next bestseller. Besides, I figured I need to put him in check, and tame him. So I'm just going to write about us. What do you think?" Sonia asked with a grin as she picked up a pen and started scribbling down some ideas as it came to her.
"Write about the both of you? Do you think he's going to like that?" Lucy asked curiously.
"Did he think I was going to like a random stranger walking up to me and proposing to me out of the blues and bringing unwanted spotlight on me? Well, I'm sure he was too selfish to think about that because he is handsome, wealthy and famous, and believes he can get away with whatever. So I'm not going to worry about what he likes either. Enough about my fiance, I'm sure that wasn't why you called, or was it?" Sonia asked curiously as she closed her journal and looked around her room which looked like the home of a lunatic.
"No. Well, I'm in a mess." Lucy cried as her mind went back to her predicament.
"What is the problem?" Sonia asked as she placed the phone on loud speaker and headed for the bathroom. She dropped the phone by her bathtub and lowered herself to the toilet seat to ease herself.
"Well, I got an official car and a driver..."
"Yay! Good news! Congratulation to us!" Sonia said excitedly.
"And the driver happens to be Tom, my one night stand who is also my next door neighbor." Lucy concluded.
"Double Yaay!" Sonia exclaimed with a giggle.
"Double Yaay?"
"Yeah. Like Yay! Yay! I'm super excited on your behalf! The days of your boring lifestyle is about to end." Sonia said as she cleaned up and flushed the toilet.
"Come on Sony! I'm being serious. How am I going to face him?"
"Well, you don't have to face him. You can have it from behind." Sonia laughed at her own joke, "But seriously Lu, you're damn lucky girl! Now you can have sex everywhere you go. In the house, on your way to work, and even in your god-damned office. I really want to be you right now. Can you send me a picture of his looks? I really want to know how hot he is." Sonia said dreamily.
"You're not being helpful." Lucy complained.
"Okay, come on. What do you want me to say or do? Go on, I'm listening." Sonia said as she picked up her toothbrush, applied the apple mint foavored paste on it and started to brush her mouth.
"What if he is stalking me? I don't think any of this is coincident. How can I just keep running into him everywhere I go?" Lucy complained.
Sonia paused her brush halfway and spat out the foam in her mouth, "Well, technically, from what you said yesterday, I would say he should be the one thinking you're stalking him, and not the other way around. Now let me explain. First of all, Ludus is his City, and you moved over there. Secondly, you met him at the club... I mean, he was there before you got there, and your seat was placed right next to his, right?"
"Right."
"And then you moved into the apartment next to his. You went to his apartment last night, right? Did it seem like he just moved in?" Sonia asked logically.
"No." Lucy said, beginning to feel stupid for being suspicious of an innocent man.
"Now if he has the power to get any position in your company, why would he want to be your driver when he can easily be your boss, or work in your office with you? Why would he want to work beneath you as your driver?" Sonia concluded.
"I guess I'm overreacting."
"Yes you are. So just take in a deep breath, and relax. I think you feel this way because you're attracted to him and you're trying to run from it. Maybe another dose of his penisilin would make you alright." Sonia said with a giggle making Lucy roll her eyes.
"You're just too corrupt."
"Whatever. You better put your driver into good use Lu. If I were you, I'd have him driving me off the edge of my bed with his rod.." Sonia said with a grin, and laughed out loud when she heard the disconnect tone.
