Billionaire’s Side Attraction

Javier Lorenzo

Rosa drove Lula and me in her car, down to the mechanic’s shop after we chose to skip breakfast. The shop was located in the middle of a rather empty street except for the few small businesses along the way, and a gas station at the junction. This town gives me the chills, it’s the kind of town where people act horror movies in. I can’t believe Rosa has a house here and never told me about it. Well, I can’t blame her though, I too have kept some things from her.

The owner of the shop walked up to us from his garage, with a spanner in hand. He was a gruff man with a thick beard on his chin and tattoos on his arms. He stopped in front of Rosa. “Howdy, ma’am Rosita”

Rosa had both her hands in her jeans pocket and wore an open belly top to combat the hot sun. “Hey, Johnson, What can you tell us about my friend’s car?”

“I’m afraid it ain’t just her tires that are ruined, her engine overheated. Will be needing a new carburetor .”

Lula moaned frustrated and almost stumped her feet like an angry kid. “Shit! How long will that take?”

He clicked his tongue. “A few days maybe.” He answered, eyeing her cleavage. I went to stand closer to her so he’d stop ogling her body. Assholes like him are why ladies don’t feel safe anywhere.

Lula heaved out a sigh. “That’s too long a time, man. Is there no way we can get it done sooner?”

“I’m afraid not, ma’am” The man replied with a weird smirk. His eyes darted at me before he walked away.

Rosa turned to us. “I suggest you leave your car here, then when it’s done, I shall have it towed over to your place in Hollywood.”

Lula shook her head. “I appreciate the offer, Rosa, but there ain’t no way we’ll be getting to Texas without a car.”

Rosa smiled sweetly, almost unrecognizable. “I can drive you both there, don’t worry about it.”

Lula groaned. “I’m starting to regret this journey, I swear it.” She threw her hands in frustration and walked off to the ATM affixed to the wall facing the other side.

I glanced at Rosa only to see that she had already been staring at me. I then kept my gaze on her. I pointed a warning finger in her face. “If you hurt Lula in any way, I’m gonna ruin your fucking life.”

She smirked. “I have no interest in that dumb bitch, just you, baby.” She blew me a kiss in the air.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t call me that”

“Why?” She placed her hand on my chest but I hit it away. She didn’t back down, instead, she brought her lips to my ear. “I know you still love me”

I moved back. “You’re delusional.”

“Yeah, right”. She grinned. “Then why is it taking you so long to fuck her?”

I narrowed my eyes at her. “And how do you know this?”

Her grin widened. “Last night, I was expecting some action from you too, but you were a disappointment as usual.” A wicked smile was plastered on her face and in her eyes.

My eyes widen in realization. “You were using a camera to spy on us in the room, weren’t you?”

She rolled her eyes. “What were you expecting, baby, for me to let her have you? You must be joking. No one takes you from me, Lorenzo.” Her smile disappeared and a dangerous scowl soon replaced it. “I was going to post your sex video all over the internet, but once again, you proved to me that you love me too much to fuck another girl.”

Before I could retort, Lula’s sorrowful groan stole my attention. “What’s wrong, Lula?” I asked as I walked over to the ATM, leaving Rosa standing there.

“My card is not working! I can’t make any withdrawals, I have been trying over and over again, declined each time! Argh! This is the worst day of my life!” She held her head in her hands and started massaging her temples.

“Calm down, I’ll try mine.” I inputted my card into the slot and punched in the required numbers. Mine came out the same way, DECLINED. What the actual fuck?

To my surprise, Rosa tried her card, and it worked. How is that even possible? I did not want to start thinking of how conniving she can be. I decided to take Lula’s advice and give Rosa a chance.

“Is there anywhere else we can try?” I asked Rosa, but she shook her head in the negative as a sad look enveloped her face, but I knew her too well to know when she is faking an emotion.

Rosa went to Lula. “I suggest we continue in my car. You can use my card on the way, what do you think?”

Lula thought for a moment and looked at me. To be honest, I didn’t know what to say to her. The car wasn’t going to be fixed until days later. I don’t know which one is worse, traveling in the same car with the enemy, OR staying in the same town with her. Well, at least with the former, we would be moving and not stranded. I nodded in response to her unasked question and she turned to Rosa, “Okay, let’s go”

Rosa grinned from ear to ear. “Perfect!”

We got back on the road, except this time, it was in Rosa’s car. I drove the car while Lula sat in the passenger’s seat. Rosa took the back seat. Jenny was nowhere to be found but no one asked about her whereabouts. I didn’t feel comfortable having Rosa with us, but it was the only way to get moving.

I have a plan to ditch her when we get to the next town, but first, I need to find out what happened with mine and Lula’s ATM cards.
