ARROGANT BASTARD
"Hi Lisa, I think I'm getting a divorce," Lena informed her best friend over the phone.
"What happened this time?" Lisa huffed a sigh, knowing Lena was mad at Darian again.
"Darian is arrogant, he's a bastard and I can't deal with him anymore. See Lisa, I have tried, I have tried to be good to him but he doesn't deserve my kindness." She rolled her eyes and hissed out loudly. "He's an asshole, a big one!"
"Calm down, okay? What happened this time and how do you want me to punish him? Do you want me to make him the villain in my book or just brutally murder his character? Do you want me to cut off his dick or spit on his face? Just tell me what you want, I can do that to him in my books." She assured Lena.
Lena scoffed, "But you do know that can only happen in your books, right?"
"Yes, but we will make him suffer. Tell me what you want him to go through." She teased.
"Cutting his dick is brutal, I don't want that. How about hmmmmm," she looked thoughtfully at the portrait in the living room—an ergonomic artistic artwork, a black woman backing a baby and she smiled heartily.
Lena stared closely. That was the first time she was reading the meaning behind that woman's smile—it was her baby. She imagined herself with a child, a child as handsome as Darian was. She quickly shook the thoughts off her head.
"Lena, are you there?" She asked when Lena got carried away.
"Lisa, I was carried away. He takes some pills every morning, and I felt it was right to ask what the pills are for. But when I asked, he flinched and got so mad that he had to remind me that I meant nothing to him and that he married me because my dad owed him. That insolence," Lena clenched her jaw, waiting for her friend's response.
"I think I should kidnap him. Send some bad guys to him, they would kidnap him and make him suffer for berating you. That's what I'm going to do." Lisa finalized.
Lena could hear the tapping sound her fingers made. She smiled at her friend's craziness, books were her life. She read and wrote books. She always made the bad guys the villains when she was so mad at someone, she would create a book and give the character the name of the person and make them suffer so much.
There was a time she got mad at Lena, she had written and used her name as one of the characters in her books, and the character was later dumped by her boyfriend.
"You should never let him get the least of you, don't let him make you feel less of yourself. He married you because you are too beautiful and he couldn't resist you." Lisa said, chuckling. "That's the truth and we all know that. So, baby, do not worry about the crap he spits, okay?"
Lena laughed, she knew talking to Lisa would do the soothing magic.
"He got me a job at the casino, I have never been there and don't even know how things work there." She told Lisa.
"Oh, the mafia casino is a dangerous place to be. Do you think that idea is cool? I mean, he has a company, he can easily fix you up in an office. You graduated with good grades, man, the top of the class." Lisa hissed out loudly. "I hope he looks after you as you go out there to work. You have to be extra careful." She warned.
"Right? He got me two hefty bodyguards too. Those men are big." Lena laughed, trying to envision an image of Harrison and Dickson in her head.
"Oh wow, I think I will have to praise him here. You won't get mad at me, will you?" Lisa asked her.
"I will, there is a deal. We are best friends. You either take my side or we break up this friendship." Lena threatened. "You can't be taking Darian's side when he's been heartless to your best friend."
"I am sorry about that. What do you want to do to him?"
"Hmm, I have moved out of the room so that I can better mind my business, I will stop talking to him and avoid him as much as possible." She listed out her plans to Lisa.
"I bet he will come begging if someone like you doesn't talk to him for so long. Do you promise not to talk to him?" Lisa asked Lena, she knew well that her friend was the type who could not resist the urge to talk.
She talked a lot about many things and everything. She was the one who made Lisa bold enough to talk back to people. Lisa used to be very quiet and feeble until she became friends with Lena. And she was thankful Lena unleashed that boldness in her.
"Yes, of course. There is nothing I can discuss with him. He's too arrogant to even listen to people when they talk. He should go to hell," Lena said.
"I see. So, tell me have you called your dad to ask how he's fairing?"
The question threw Lena off balance. She didn't expect Lisa to ask her such a question. She knew her dad was fine, at least better than when she was with him.
The maid Darian employed to take care of him was doing a great job and he was properly taken care of by the doctors too. She heard reports from Harriet, the maid.
She didn't want to talk to him yet…
She was still mad at him for what happened but sometimes she thought about everything and wanted to forgive him, he was just a helpless man.
"You haven't answered me," Lisa's voice boomed on the phone again. "Oh Lena, I forgot I have an interview soon, I will talk to you later. Love you." Lisa ended the call.
Lena heaved a sigh, tapping on the screen as she searched for her dad's number.
She was about to dial it when Darian walked into the house with Jay. She nodded her head to acknowledge Jay, picking the glass of water from the table, she hurried into the guest room without saying a word to Darian.
