One Wild Night

She had been able to remain unreachable in the last couple of weeks because she had traveled with only her private phone with her which she used in communicating with Lucy and in special emergency cases her editor.

Being a writer there were times she wanted to shut out the world, and at times like that she often left her general phone off and only used her private line which was strictly meant for communicating with Lucy.

She had left the Hank family house without her phone and her apartment key since the plan had been to drop by her apartment with Bryan, but thankfully, she had a spare key which she always left under the flowerpot beside her door, so getting into her apartment wouldn't be a problem.

Standing in front of her apartment now, she reached under her flowerpot for the key and unlocked the door.

Her brows pulled into a frown when she stepped into her apartment and noticed that the place didn't look as abandoned as she had expected.

As a matter of fact, it looked like someone had been living there for some time and a male shirt was strewn across the single couch in the living room.

She decided not to close the door behind her following her self-preservation instinct.

What was going on? She mused as she headed for the bedroom, and she froze by the bedroom door when she heard the sound of the shower.

"Who is in there?" She called from the doorway without going into the bedroom.

"Sony? Is that you?" A male voice that she recognized called back, making her frown.

Derek? What was he doing in her apartment? How did he get in?

A moment later Derek stepped out of the bathroom with her towel wrapped around his waist, "I see you are back. Welcome home," Derek said with a pleased smile.

"What the fuck are you doing in my apartment?" Sonia hissed in annoyance.

"I needed a place to chill so I figured I could stay here since you are not around," Derek said with a shrug.

"And so you invited yourself into my apartment just like that?" Sonia asked unable to believe what she was hearing.

"I tried calling but there was no way to reach you. And I texted you on Instagram but you didn't respond to my text," Derek said, and Sonia scowled at him.

"How did you get in here without a key?"

"I have a duplicate of your apartment key," Derek said, and Sonia shut her eyes as she prayed for self-control.

"How long have you been coming here like this?"

"You are my girlfriend..."

"WAS!" Sonia snapped at him.

"You know what? I don't care how you got the key or when. Get your stuff and get out of my apartment this moment before I'm forced to call the police," she said, jerking her head to the door.

"Is the big shot actor not here with you?" Derek asked, looking behind her.

Sonia's eyes flashed angrily when she remembered what Bryan had said about receiving a text from Derek, "What did you say to Bryan?" She asked, and Derek smiled as he let the towel fall to the ground.

"Nothing that isn't true. I guess he's not here with you. Do I sense trouble in paradise already?" Derek asked, not minding that he was naked as he approached Sonia.

"If you take one more step towards me, I will make you regret it for life," Sonia warned in a deadly tone.

"C'mon, Sony! Don't you miss me? Does Bryan fuck you better? You always said you loved the size and feel of my cock inside you. You even wrote about us, remember? You called me your favorite man. Don't you miss this?" Derek asked as he dangled his rod in front of him.

"Shut your fucking clueless mouth and get lost before I'm forced to cut off your cock and stuff your rotten mouth with it!" Sonia yelled angrily, feeling both angry and disgusted as she looked around her for something she could throw at him.

She couldn't believe that she had been crazy enough to have gotten herself involved with a fool like Derek.

"Relax, babe..."

Without letting him finish Sonia stormed out of there and went to the kitchen drawer to get a knife, "Get the fuck out this moment before I make good my threat!" She yelled at him and seeing how angry she was, he could tell it wasn't an idle threat so he raised both hands.

"Alright. No need for violence or threat. You know how to find me when things go south with Mr celebrity," Derek said with an easy smile as he picked up his trouser from the bed and pulled it on without wearing any underwear.

Still pointing the knife at him, Sonia held the door open as she waited for him to pick up his belt and get out of her bedroom, and once he did she followed him with the knife and watched as he picked his shirt from the couch.

"Not so fast. Where is my key?" she said when he started heading for the door, and Derek hesitantly dipped a hand into his pocket and took out the single key that he placed on her table.

"Now get lost," Sonia said, and Derek winked at her before walking out of the house.

Once Derek shut the door behind him, he pulled on his shirt and started to wear his belt. He was still putting on his belt when Bryan arrived, and immediately he saw Bryan, he chuckled as he adjusted the waistline of his trousers.

Bryan froze when he saw Derek. He recognized him from his display picture on Instagram. What was he doing at Sonia's apartment? Bryan mused, and his stomach churned when Derek raised a hand to his wet hair and combed through it.

Why was his hair wet? Did he have his bath in there? Bryan mused, unable to hide his curiosity.

"You are late to the party, buddy," Derek said with a suggestive grin as he walked past Bryan who remained where he stood, staring at him as he walked away while wondering if there was any need to go in to see Sonia again.

Once Derek walked away from there and got into a cab, he dialed Jeff's line, "You are such an evil genius! It worked out even better than I imagined," Derek said excitedly.

"Did something else happen?" Jeff asked curiously when he heard Derek's excitement.

"I guess the universe is on your side. Sonia didn't only show up, Bryan did too. He saw me leaving her apartment and judging by the look on his face I don't think he's going to believe anything she has to say," Derek said, and a satisfied smile tugged the corners of Jeff's lips.

"That means they will be breaking up soon, right," Jeff said with approval.

"Did your man get the pictures?" Derek asked, thinking about how famous he would be if the photos got out with the news that he was screwing Bryan's fiancee.

"Yes, they did. Good job. I will send the rest of your money immediately after I hang up," Jeff said before hanging up the call.
