Chapter 15

Lydia- The Pet Communicator

Chapter 15

My father bought me a new dress for tonight’s dinner with Drake. It was an elegant semi silk, sky blue dress that reached my feet. The exclusivity of this dress was its huge glittery black ribbon, draped around the waist. The dress was very comfortable too. I deliberately left my curly thick hair loose and put on slight make up, as I preferred to be simple and look sweet. After that, I stumbled upon my sets of accessories and ended up on choosing a freshwater pearl necklace with earrings.

I looked at myself in the mirror after getting all dressed up, and I was contented with my whole apperance.

When I stepped out of my bedroom, I found my father sitting on the couch all relaxed, reading a newspaper and sipping his coffee. I tiptoed silently towards him and yanked out the newspaper from his hand to irritate him. He got aggravated at once, but then he looked at me with admiration. He kept his coffee aside and held my hand with fondness. His face showed a mixture of emotions. He was happy, but his lips were trembling at the same time. A few tears escaped his eyes too.

“Daddy, any comments?” I asked willingly.

“You look very beautiful, exactly like your mother." My father replied with a sniff, while trying to control his emotional pain.

I sat on my father’s lap and pulled him into a tight hug, "Don't cry for the person who is not worth your tears, please." 

Suddenly, I heard a knock at the main door. I chewed my lower lip nervously, knowing it was Drake at the door.

"I won't cry anymore. I promise. Go, your date is waiting for you at the door." My father responded with a forceful smile. I kissed my father on his forehead and asked him to cheer up for my sake. I wore my new black belly shoes and bid my father a farewell, before leaving.

I unlocked the front door to grab the most handsome man waiting for me at the doorway. He wore a black Hugo Boss suit with a crisp gray linen shirt inside. His hair were set into spikes and he wore a strong Ferrari perfume. I recognized the scent of the perfume, since my father used the same one occasionally. Drake gave me a huge grin and exclaimed, “Hi. You look very beautiful tonight.

He took my hand in his, and kissed it gently. I felt the butterflies in my stomach. Drake didn't let go of me and he held my hand until we reached his car, which was parked on the street. We both sat in and took off right away. Drake turned on some romantic music on the radio and stared at me affectionately with a smile. I shyly smiled back at him.

Just then, I heard Lucky barking from behind, while chasing our car, "Lydia! Wait for me! Stop!"  

“Drake, can you stop the car for some time? I forgot to take Lucky. I’ve promised to take him with us and don't worry, he will wait outside the restaurant.” I pleaded, with a flash of guilt.

Drake rolled his eyes and spoke, “I have no problem with Lucky coming with us and you don’t need to ask such silly questions.”

I thanked Drake and opened the door for Lucky to come in. “Where were you sweetie?” I asked ruffling his fur.

Lucky barked instantly, “I went to follow up on Ricky. He is at a restaurant with a girl, the one near to the park.”

“The grand plaza?” I asked curiously. He barked a yes. 

“Drake, can we go to The Grand Plaza? Lucky’s bitch will meet him out there.” I lied.

Drake nodded with a confused expression on his face, and changed the driving direction immediately.

“Hey, no! We are not going there. Why did I tell you?! It would spoil your evening with Drake.” Lucky growled.

“Keep quiet please. Trust me, I won’t make a scene. I want to see who he is with.” I whispered in Lucky’s ear.

When we reached the restaurant, I asked Lucky to wait outside and not to go anywhere. The restaurant was beautiful, cozy and it looked luxurious, maybe rated four stars.  I didn’t even ask if Drake was okay with it or not. So stupid of me, I thought.

Drake held me by the waist and led me inside the restaurant. Just as we set a foot in, I spotted Ricky on table number fourteen. He was sitting there alone, with no one accompanying him. Or maybe, he was waiting for someone to arrive. And then, my eyes fell on a table near to his, which was vacant - fortunately. Table number thirteen.

“Let’s go to table number thirteen Drake, it’s all dirt free and next to the window too. The view must be beautiful outside.” I pointed a finger towards the table and grabbed Drake by the arm, leading him to table number thirteen, before he changed his mind to dine somewhere else. Besides, Drake had never seen Ricky.

I intentionally walked nearer to Ricky, and I noticed him watching us from the corner of my eye. I tired to ignore him, while holding Drake’s hand and squeezing it tight to make Ricky jealous. I needed to show him that I have moved on as well.

“I am sorry for bringing you here, I don’t know what you planned for us, but I had to do this.” I spoke politely, as we sat on the table. I felt like a deciever from the inside.

“I don’t understand you dear, what do you mean?” He spoke and caressed my cheek with his thumb. As I was about to tell him the truth, and my eyes fell on Clara. She was coming out of the restroom which was quite near to our tables. She didn’t notice my presence, and she sat on the table with Ricky.

So this is it, I got the whole thing. They are going out huh, since when?

“Drake, that’s Ricky on the table next to us.” I pointed to the left, using my thumb. Drake looked at Ricky with rage and they met face to face finally. Ricky smirked at him insolently.

Clara looked up at Ricky, and saw in the direction he was looking at. Later, she discovered me sitting there with Drake, on the table next to her.

“Lydia! Wow, you are here too.” She got up nervously and walked to our table. She gave out her hand to greet us both. I took it and squeezed it really hard in fury. “You have no shame wh*re. Since when you seeing each other huh? Tell me my best friend!” I stood up and slapped her on the face.

“How dare you touch her?” Ricky stood up and held my hand tightly with rage.

I was broken into pieces. I couldn’t believe Ricky just took her side. Why did they do this to me? That’s why they didn’t care if I could actually talk to the animals. They just wanted to get rid of me.

“Before you touch her, face me you di*k!” Drake yelled and grabbed Ricky by his neck. Ricky punched hard on Drake’s face. I could see him bleeding from the corner of his mouth. Drake cleaned his blood with a thumb, and clenched his fist in anger. I quickly hugged him tightly in front of everyone.

All the customers started watching us in apprehension, and two attendents came forward to cool us down.

“Drake, please let’s go. I don’t want to make a scene here. I didn’t know it was Clara.” I cried, feeling bad for Drake. I had spoilt his whole mood. I grabbed Drake by his arm and looked up at Clara in disappointment. I could see the guilt in her eyes.

“Clara, you and Ricky ditched me. I loved you both a lot. I don’t have a clue why you did this to me. I want my answers one day.” Then I shifted my gaze to Ricky, “You didn’t have to be so good to me and act that I am the only person for you in this world and by the way, you both are awesome actors. I am impressed.” I took out the ring Ricky gave me and threw it on his face.

Unexpectedly, Drake carried me in his arms and walked out of the restaurant. “I am sorry to carry you out this way, but I didn’t want the fight to go on too. I want to take you to the place which I was  thinking to take you before. I am sure you will love it and it would change our mood.”

I put my hands around his neck and spoke, “Take me wherever you want, and also punish me for spoiling your mood tonight.”

Drake pressed his lips with mines. I kissed him back  passionately and from nowhere, it started raining. 

“Guys, it’s raining! Put me in the car.” Lucky barked. I forgot he was waiting for us outside the Grand Plaza and as always, Lucky had to spoil my blissful moments.

“Shall we drop him home first? I want to take you somewhere far, somewhere you didn’t even dream of.” Drake exclaimed.
