The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter seventy-two

Mac pov

I may not be a Christian, but I certainly know much about the bible. I learned them from my mom, while she was alive.

One of the portions of the Bible, that seemed to be playing right before me, was the fact that the psalmist was able to say;

‘Even though he walked through the valley of the shadow of death” Indeed, I was heading right into the valley of the shadow of death.

I could only imagine the smile that would grace Liam’s face seeing me and having me shot right across the floor.

The club was banging with classic music the moment I entered. Everyone was having a fun time, but my mind wasn’t in the fun time they were having, it was cast upon the whereabouts of Liam.

I dared not have a drink in the lion’s den and even though it would be good to have a scotch to pull my tension down, I dared not.

While waiting for Liam, I cast my mind back to Elena and the promise I made not to meet up with Liam.

If I ever died that night, I could only hope that she would be able to forgive me for lying to her face.

“One tequila shot please” I turned to see the face of the one person I had come here for. He was radiating with a smile, seeing my distress.

“Good to see you friend” He said the last word, stressing it.

I always knew Liam to be filled with sarcasm and this was one of those sarcastic moments.

“You asked to see me, I am here now,” I said, watching him pick up the shots of tequila and drown it in a heartbeat.

“Oh, I said the club, but I wasn’t specific about the area… Or was I?” He was certainly playing mind games that I couldn’t beat and he knew it.

“What do you want?”

“Let’s talk about that when we are out of the club,” He said, dropping a tip for the barman and standing up to leave.

That single gesture meant that I should follow him and that was exactly what I did.

While going with him, I also remembered the verse of the psalmist saying that he would not fear even though he walked through those valleys.

I would not go down without a fight if it came to that.

When we were outside, I noticed he was heading into the opposite house and I followed right behind him.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

The moment I opened the door, there were several guys in the room, smoking and drinking. They all had a hateful stare at me.

I wondered what Liam had implanted in their head.

“Have a seat” He offered, after taking his seat with two girls who stood opposite him, massaging his shoulders.

“I don’t take luxury in your offer, I am fine standing” I refused seating knowing that I would be defenseless if anything happened.

“Very well then….” He nodded to one of his boys in the room, who walked up to him and handed him a gun.

“Wait, before you shoot, I think we can settle this,” I said…

“Settle? Really Mac? You stand before me and mention that word?” I clearly understood where he was going with his displeasure.

“Look I know I fucked up in the past Liam, but for our friendship, let’s talk like guys” He stood up from his seat and walked up to me.

Right before I could think of what he was about to do, I felt my cheek sting and I held it almost immediately, looking at him in disbelief.

“You don’t have any right to think that we are friends Mac. I trusted you so much and loved you. I thought you were a brother, but it turned out that you were the devil” He had so many emotions in his eyes. The past certainly hurt and I knew this very well.

“I thought of your football, I thought of your basketball, our schools loved themselves because of the bond we shared. The only issue was turning around and taking what is mine” He pulled out a cigar from his pocket, placed it in his mouth, and lit it up.

Never knew Liam had taken into smoking. He had always told me about people who smoke being a shadow of themselves.

“You had no right to take that boy’s life,” I said, making reference to the horrific kill he had done and placing the body right on the school premises.

“If you hadn’t shown up, there were other things I planned on doing. But since you are here, you would pay the ultimate price” It was settled then, there was no way I could get away from here alive, but I could only try to convince him not to shoot me.

“Look Liam, I know I have made mistakes in the past but come on, we can settle these things in another way other than pointing the guns at me,” I said pointing at the gun.

“So the great Mac Lee, hero of Oakwood High School is scared of a gun” One of the boys, who I couldn’t recognize commented, causing everyone to laugh.

“How is Elena? I know she is back isn’t it?” He was playing mind games with me and I knew it. These were the things that he used to trigger my emotions.

“Don’t you mention her again in this conversation” I warned and he simply laughed and turned to the rest of the boys.

“Mac has always been overprotective of a stripper” I looked at him in confusion.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“Don’t you know?” He once again laughed at my ignorance “Quite a shame she didn’t tell you” I felt my heartbeat begin increasing, I was hoping desperately that it wasn’t what I was hoping it would be.

“Well, let me break it to you then….. Your darling girl who you think is innocent and all that stuff, is Diamond Foxx”

“Yes! You heard right, the one you have been privately receiving lap dances from for a while is Elena, no other than your precious little lamb” Liam said in a way that made me understand that he was telling the truth.

“Wait, have you been keeping tap on because how did you know that Diamond Foxx has been giving me a private dance section for a while now?” I asked Liam rhetorically.

He had a smirk on his face and told me that he was stalking me.
