"I'm sorry, Mrs. Valdez. It's all because Luther spoils me so much, he doesn't want me going to drink with those guys."
Before I could respond, Luther smiled and pinched her cheek.
"Those guys like to get a little too comfortable after drinking. How could I let you go?"
A cold, sharp feeling hit my heart as if it had fallen into an icy abyss and all the love I once had was drained away in an instant.
Luther opened the back door, shoved me inside and then walked around to the front to get in the driver’s seat.
Once the car was moving, Luther and Stella spoke and laughed as though I did not even exist.
I sat quietly in the back, staring blankly out the window, my mind numb.
Suddenly, Stella looked at me with a glint of provocation before turning to Luther with a soft, flirtatious voice.
"Luther, the maid cat sexy lingerie you bought for me just arrived."
Luther's eyes darkened immediately and his Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to keep his composure.
Moments later, he pulled over to the side of the road and said coldly, without even looking at me.
