“No, no way.” I can see out the corner of my eye that he has lost all the color from his face as he watches the video again, but I don’t care. I don’t intend to fall for his bullshit. “I didn’t do this to you, I wouldn’t. I am the one who has been trying to show you how much I actually like you and care for you, Gemma. You are the one who has kept your distance and been cold with me. I wouldn’t do this to you…”
“But you did,” I yell so loudly that it shuts him up instantly. “You did do this to me. You set it up somehow.”
“But that isn’t even logical, Gemma. You are the one who stormed in to the elevator…”
“Don’t try and pin this on me.” I edge towards the door, needing to escape from Daniel before he can do anything else to hurt me. “Don’t blame me for what happened. I’m not some bimbo that you can just manipulate, Daniel. I’m not the usual standard of woman that you go for, so just shut the fuck up.”
“Gemma, please…” he calls after me, but I am done with him. I stomp in to the bathroom and slam it hard. I don’t even want to shower inside of Daniel’s house now for fear that he has a camera in there as well. All I want to do is get dressed and get the fuck out of here before anything else can happen.
“Fuck.” I shake my head hard, willing the tears away, but they aren’t going anywhere. My emotions are all over the place. I’m hurt and upset because I thought that I was starting to see a different and better side to Daniel, but I’m also angry and annoyed at myself for being that idiot, for feeling things that I shouldn’t for that man. “Fucking hell. Daniel, why do you have to be such a prick? Why be so cruel?”
My business is on my mind as well, I keep thinking about what is going to happen next. I don’t know if people are going to want to stop working with me because I have a fucking sex tape online for the world to see. It isn’t exactly the done thing for a professional business woman to do, is it? It isn’t how people behave at networking events. Or even if they do, it sure as hell doesn’t end up on the Internet for the world to see.
Once I’m dressed, I run out of the bathroom and smack in to a still very naked Daniel. He’s blocking my way which only makes me a million times more hurt and angrier. He holds on to me and won’t let me go.
“What are you doing?” I cry out. “Leave me alone, Daniel. I need to get away from you.”
“We can work it out together,” he tries to reassure me. “We can get out of this mess with one another. We don’t need to fall out about this. It doesn’t need to be this way. I didn’t do this to you, I promise…”
“I don’t believe a word that you say to me.” I shake him off hard. “I don’t trust anything about you. You are a liar, Daniel Wilson, and a real piece of work. And we can’t get through anything together. We aren’t even friends, never mind anything more. We have just been having sex, that’s all. Sex that is about to haunt me…”
“It affects me as well,” he declares as if I should actually feel some kind of sympathy for him or something. What a prize tool. I am honestly shocked that he would even suggest that. “This is going to be a problem for me too and I don’t want to go through it alone. I want to face it together; we can shut it down…”
“Shut down a video?” I exclaim in dismay. “There is no denying any of this. It is there for everyone to see. Plus, once a video is online there is no getting rid of it. It could be fucking anywhere.”
He looks horrified, like this is just occurring to him, but I honestly have no sympathy for him. I am still convinced that he has caused all of this, so I need to get the hell out of here before this explodes in to anything worse than it already is. I take advantage of him being stunned in to silence for a moment and I push passed him towards the front door, knowing that this will be the last time I ever seen him.
With my cell phone in my hand, the object that has become my worst enemy but that I need to call Eve to help me out as soon as I get out of here, I make it to the front door. Once I leave this place, all I want to do is collapse but I have so much that I have to face, that I have to deal with before it escalates even worse than it already is.
