Crazy In The New York City – Episode 16

Celine’s Pov

 

I looked outside the window as the fresh breeze flushed my face, the feeling was new and warming.

 

The silence was weird but acceptable.

 

“I’ll play some music” Adrian says and turns on the music.

 

 

Let me love you

 

 

Let me touch you

 

 

Make you feel right

 

The music somehow made me uncomfortable and I reached out to change it but Adrian held my hands stopping me.

 

“Leave it” He orders and focuses on the driving. I glance at him quickly and sit back playing with my fingers and ruminating on how Julia was going to react if she saw me dressed this way.

 

 

I sighed and probe my pink colored bag looking for my phone, my countenance changed immediately I couldn’t find it, Adrian noticed it.

 

“You good??” He asked but I ignored him, I was just too tired to say anything. I poured the content in my bag on my legs hoping to find it but I couldn’t, my hand was on my forehead trying to remember what happened to the phone but I stopped thinking when I saw some guys standing in front of the car blocking our

way, they seemed dangerous.

 

“Well welcome to Brooklyn” Adrian says sarcastically honking at them but they refused to move. One was hitting a baton on his hand simultaneously

 

“Just continue driving and sure they’ll leave” I said and Adrian continues driving but they refused to move and inch.

 

“Run them over” I said sounding like an evil witch.

 

Adrian chuckles and plays with my hair like I was some 3 years old kid.

 

“I thought your craziness would end once we reach Brooklyn, I guess am wrong. Stay here they look dangerous” He says and comes out of the car, he walks towards them and they seem to be talking until one of them hits the baton at his back.

 

“Shit” I said and ran out of the car holding the bag which was already emptied. One of the guys who had already seen me charged for me but I was quick to hit

my bag on his face.

 

A fight between Adrian, I and six stupid men were fighting for no reason.

 

It wasn’t easy fighting them off and Adrian proved his strength by going against 3 men the remaining one down and two holding my hands.

 

“Let go of me” I yelled at them, I stepped on his feet and pushed him forward. The other guy tries grabbing me but I kick him where the sun doesn’t shine.

 

I pick up my bag and hit it on the other guy head. Adrian was getting weak already and they were beating him up already.

 

I rush to his aid and Adrian was able to throw the baton at me.

 

“Bash him” He says.

 

 

“Yes sir” I replied and tore my gown since it was preventing me from kicking well.

 

I jump and hit the bigger guy with the baton breaking it in half.

 

“Oops” I say and throw the baton away.

 

“Grab her” He orders and two guys were already holding my hand. He looks at my exposed legs in lust and tries touching me, I spit on his face and that got him mad, he tears off the arm of my dress leaving me armless.

 

“Mrs Vandermir is not going to like this” I say and he reaches for my face but Adrian grabs his hands, his face was literally vibrating in anger and If care was not taking, he could explode. Have never seen him this scared before and honestly I was scared.

 

The guy who obviously was getting scared tries punching Adrian but he holds his hands and I could hear bones cracking. Instead of a punch Adrian hits his head with his.

 

 

 

“Ouch” I said and pouted, that must really hurt since all the guy could do was stagger.

 

“Are you guys still here” He says and they release me immediately pushing me to Adrian before running away.

 

Adrian and I stare at each other appearance, his tuxedo was ruined and his nose bleeding.

 

“Here” I said and tried using the pieces of my torn clothes to clean his nose but he moves away pulling off his tuxedo so I can put it on.

 

“I wonder who those guys were” I said.

 

“Probably one of the guys you’ve beaten up before. Have you forgotten, you’re Celine in Brooklyn you break noses for a living”

 

“Na even though they wanted revenge how did they know I was coming to Brooklyn”

 

“You’re right but danm you fight good”

 

“Thanks am gifted”

 

“Oh really” He says and pulls my arm.

 

“What are you doing” I stammered and swallowed nervously.

 

“Is it just me or does this look suit you better, rough hair, torn dress and my tuxedo” He says and smirks.

 

“We we have to see Julia” I said trying to release myself.

 

“You are obviously right” He says and releases me.

 

Kat’s Pov

 

Already logged in the hotel giving my name as Julia Greene, I was able to get a room at the top floor of the hotel.

 

I called room service and asked them to arrange something romantic for me, less than 10 minutes the room had been decorated already. It looked like a honeymoon was going to take place in the room.

 

The table decorated with chocolates and flowers, I bring out a picture from my bag.

 

It was Adrian’s, I dip it in the candle and watching it burn made my eyes lit, the same way Adrian was going to burn tonight.

 

I pull out another picture from my bag and place it on the table, it wasn’t Adrian’s picture neither was it mine, it was my elder’s sister picture. I clean my tears and thought about what happened 6 years back.

 

FLASH BACK

 

I sat down on the sofa reading a novel when my sister walked in my room.

 

“I need that bag, the Chanel” She says, I look at her and realized she was all dressed.

 

“Are you going out” I asked, she sighs and walks to my bag collection.

 

 

“So many bags but you don’t use them, your life is so boring” She says and picks the Chanel.

 

“Am seeing Adrian tonight” She says excited.

 

“Adrian?, Adrian Vandermir”

 

“No Adrian Rased” She replies and I couldn’t help but laugh at her humor.

 

“But isn’t he like a man whore”

 

“I know but who cares, opportunity knocks but once. I’ll be losing my virginity to the great Adrian Vandermir” She says and asks me to check her look.

 

“Perfect” I say and bid her goodbye, I never knew that was the last time I was going to see my sister. Karen was found dead in the hotel room and Adrian cleared all the evidence pointing against him. She was raped to death and ADRIAN RAPED HER, our mother died of shock leaving me alone in this cruel world. I couldn’t do anything to get justice but now I’ll murder Adrian Vandermir and then the whole world will lose a monster like Adrian.

 

Celine’s Pov

 

Of all the places that the car had to break down it had to break down it had to be in the middle of nowhere.

 

“Why did you have to go through this route, it told you Moonlight hotel was through that road but you said you would follow google map, you are so stubborn Adrian” I half yelled.

 

“And you are so loud” He grunts.

 

“Say all what you want, now we are stuck, it’s late already and am sure Julia would be…”

 

“Why is it always Julia. Julia this, Julia that. You don’t care about yourself,something might happen to you here but you are worried about that woman”

 

 

“Nothing would happen to me, have always been able to fend for myself but not Julia. Besides she might be worried ” I reply him.

 

“Well we are stuck in the middle of nowhere, and there’s no hotel anywhere. So Julia can wait”

 

“Adrian…”

 

“Sssshhhh” He says and places his finger on my lips.

 

“The car has broken down, our only option is to walk” He says and removes his finger.

 

We come out of the car and start our unknown journey.

 

It was tiring and my legs had already began to ache, Lucky Adrian he was wearing shoes while I was wearing scandals.

 

Adrian stands in my front facing his back at me. I got confused until he goes down on his knees.

 

“Climb” He says, I frown lightly surprised.

 

“What??” I asked even though I heard him clearly.

 

“Your legs are obviously aching and if you keep on limping besides me everyone would think of me as a bad person, we don’t want that do we? Climb Miss Greene” He says. I smile and get on his back, I was scared when he stood up.

 

“It’s okay I won’t let you fall” He says and we continue walking.

 

“You can let me down if am heavy” I say and he chuckles and pushes me up.

 

“Oh please Miss Greene, I could carry you all the day without feeling like I did” He boasts.

 

“Oh really, that’s because you are walking, it’s gonna be so easy ” I said.

 

“Fine you dared me, brace up Miss Greene”

 

 

“Wait what are you doing” I asked but before I could even finish my statement. Adrian had started running and I became scared, I screamed my lungs out praying not to fall.

 

I swear Adrian is going to be death of me.

 

It became fun soon and this time I was screaming happily. He stopped and I got down immediately. We both start laughing out loud and my belly was hurting from laughing too much.

 

I stared at him breathing hard, have never laughed out loud so happily before. We stopped laughing and different thoughts ran through my mind, I felt a strong wind blow and we both looked up.

 

It was gonna rain and Adrian and I have no idea on where we were going to stay.

 

“We are goners” I said in a funny way and we start laughing again. Soon the rain starts pouring and luckily Adrian spotted a light from a house.

 

“Race you there” He says and starts running.

 

“No fair” I mumble and follow him behind.

 

He stops at the house waving at me and asking me to run faster. I stop and he gets upset, he shakes his head and runs back towards me.

 

“Slow poke” He mocks and lifts me up carrying me bridal style.

 

“Adrian” I scream out but he ignores me and runs back to the house. It was an old bungalow with broken windows. We knock on the door but no response,we knock again and an old woman opens the door.

 

“Yes what do you want?” She asked, she wasn’t welcoming at all.

 

“Good evening ma, my wife and I got stranded in the middle of the road and we were hoping if you could give us shelter till tomorrow morning”

 

She looks at both of us from head to toe.

 

“But I don’t see any wedding ring”

 

Trust old people to observe everything.

 

 

“That was because some thugs attacked us and stole everything, please ma can you let us in my wife can fall ill due to the cold”

 

“Come in” She says and we both walk in.

 

“Your wife??” I whispered.

 

“What do you expect me to tell her?” He replies.

 

“You guys are soaking wet, I have nothing to dry you both except from this shirt. It’s my husband’s”

 

She hands the shirt to Adrian who gives it to me.

 

“You should wear it, I don’t really need it”

 

“You need it more than I do, you can catch a cold” He says.

 

The old woman comes forward and points at a door.

 

“You can use that room, don’t worry I’ll sleep on the couch. It’s not everyday a handsome man comes here”

 

“Wait was she just hitting on you” I ask jealousy so evident in my voice.

 

“Jealous much??” Adrian teases.

I come out of the room wearing the blue shirt, it was short and barely covered my thighs, I wasn’t comfortable in it. I could bend and my underwear would be exposed.

 

Adrian walks towards me noticing my discomfort.

 

“It’s okay you can sleep in the room alone” He says.

(TEAM TOPSTER STORIES) “Why?” The old woman asks and stands up.

 

“Isn’t she your wife, it’s nothing new” she says and sits back down. Old people.

 

I walked back in the room with Adrian following me behind.

 

“You can sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep on the floor” He says but I refuse immediately.

 

“No” I said, I couldn’t let him sleep on the floor in this cold weather. Am crazy not wicked.

 

“You can’t keep on being the nice one, am also nice too. We’ll share the bed” I said and he looks at me questioningly.

 

“Are you sure Miss Greene”

 

I ignore him and lie on one side of the bed facing the wall, he lies on the other side, I couldn’t tell if he was facing the wall or not.

 

Adrian’s Pov

 

Once I was sure Celine had slept off, I stood up and covered her body properly with the duvet.

 

I walked out of the room and the old woman was dozing off, I walked outside of the house and looked up at the sky. The stars illuminating the sky making it look more beautiful.

 

“Do you love looking at the sky or today is a special occasion” The old woman says and looks up to.

 

“It’s beautiful” I said, never in my life did I ever think I would call something beautiful.

 

“Just like your wife” She says and I fake a smile.

 

“Thnks” I appreciated.

 

“I can see the love in your eyes but you are not showing it, why??” She asked and I had no answer to her question.

 

Celine’s Pov

 

 

I woke up but didn’t see Adrian beside me, I walked out of the room and saw him through the window standing with the old woman, they were talking but I couldn’t hear them properly. I walk closer to listen to their conversation.

 

“So tell me what made you fall in love with her” She asked. Adrian chuckles and dips his hands in his pocket.

 

“Because she’s different, beautiful in mind body and soul. She might be the most crazy woman but she’s really a softie. She changed me and made me a better person, she might not even know this but the happiness have never experienced before am experiencing it all thanks to her, without knowing it she has thought me to love again”

 

Everything Adrian said felt so true but it was a lie and that hurts me in ways I can’t understand. But I can’t fall in love, every love story ends in tears.
