Desiree's POV
"Well forget it, it was a joke. Revenge is not good for you," he said as he bit his own food, I just stared at him with a pout on my lips. I put the food that he bought for me. It is a chicken and I feel it tastes so good, my stomach is growling to take a bite of this food.
"So are you okay?" He asks me that as he glances at me because I am still pouting, "yeah, I'm fine, it's just I don't like to talk to you any nonsense anymore."
"Desiree, I am not talking nonsense, you should be happy because I treat you like a princess," he said as he chewed his food and stared at me intently.
I shrugged my shoulders, "Treating me like a princess?" I scoffed sarcastically.
"Can we just finish our food?" she said softly when she noticed the stare of Alexander became more intense. She avoids eye contact and drinks some water.
"You are not comfortable when I'm looking at you?"
She bit her lower lip and lifted her head to him, "I don't like it when someone is staring at me, I feel like you are undressing and hypnotising me." I said.
He laughed at what I said and grabbed the glass of water to drink and after that, "Really? You are thinking that?"
"Yeah, obviously," I said and he laughed again. "If you are thinking that, I don't think that you are normal," he said while looking at me.
"I think you are the one who is not normal here because you know that I am uncomfortable when someone is staring at me but you keep staring at me."
"Why not? I like your face. It's lovely…" he said and my lips tremble and I can't move my hand together because he makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful person he saw in the entire world like he is staring at me now and when our eyes meet, there's something on his eyes that I can see his beautiful soul too. I gulped and I scratched the back of my neck while trying to eat everything in my food.
"Eat slowly…" he said, his voice is kind of raspy now and he leaned forward to kiss my lips, and after that he got back to his seat as nothing happened.
"Sorry, I can't help it, I like to kiss you," he said.
I was stuck in my seat; he has no idea how much what he did to me affected my entire body; he is making me feel eager, wet, and on cloud nine all at the same time. But he just sat there and stared at my face again, I sighed, "why did you do that?"
"I already told you the reason, I like to kiss you."
"Then why is that a reason?" I asked him, but he didn't answer him and he just took his empty plate and handed it to me. "Just wash the dishes." he sighed and took his phone out of his pocket because someone was calling him. "Yes, baby…" he said.
Gosh, he have a lot of girlfriends in this world.
I just rolled my eyes and take all the plates and glasses to wash them on the sink while my ears are still hearing of what he is saying to his girlfriend.
He answered, "Yes, okay, I'm on my way... Uhm, I gotta go now," he says as he hangs up the phone and looks for me in the kitchen. "I'll be seeing you soon..."
"Fine…I'm hoping I won't have to deal with you again." I said while washing the dishes with a bad mood, I dont know why I am such in a bad mood talking to him right now, I feel like my blood is boiling inside of me and want to pour all my irritation towards him.
"Why are you talking to me like that? I'm sure you are going to miss me if I'm gone." he said.
"I'm sure my life will be perfect and peaceful without you…" I replied with irritation in my voice and after I wash the plates, I dried my hands and stared at him, "You need to go now, you'll going to be late in your date." I said sarcastically.
"Why you are mad? Are you okay?" he ask me.
"I am not okay, Alexander, just go…" I said and pushed him outside of my apartment but he is stubborn to go and just stood in front of me without moving his body, he lowered his gaze while looking at me, he is breathing heavily. "Okay…" he said as he open the font door, I sighed as I watch him go but in a second he came back, he pulled my wrist and he kissed me out of a sudden, my eyes widen with the sound of that smack of his lips on my lips.
"Bye for now, good night and please don't be mad at me again, you look like a small gasoline that about to explode when you are mad with me." he said.
I parted my lips in shock as he walk away but my dad and my mom arrived and he stop walking, my dad saw me with a wide eyes.
"Dad…"
"Tell me, Mister Roberts, what are you doing here in my daughter's apartment?" he ask.
Alexander glance at me, his face is serious like he wants to say something but he just say a simple word which is true,
"Good evening," he continued, "we just had dinner in her apartment." "I must depart now, Mister McCall; I will speak with you about our business tomorrow." he said as he walked away and went with his car.
"So tell me, why he's here? Is he your bofyriend?" My mom ask me, I shake my head, "Mom, he is not my boyfriend…" I said.
"Yeah he is not your boyfriend, then why I always see you with him?"
"Mom, we are just friends." I insisted.
"If you have a boyfriend, Desiree. We are going to be happy especially a guy like him." My dad says, I rolled my eyes because I know this is all because of business thats why he wants me to be the girlfriend of Alexander.
"Are you serious, dad?" I said and sighed then I remember my sister. As I opened the door, I muttered something that can make their eyes widened. "Anyway, this isn't about him anymore; do you know where Patricia is now? I'm going to give her a lecture. You're going to hire a cleaner if you know what happened to my apartment and see it for yourself."
"Yes, it's even worse than the picture you sent me." My dad said,
"Yeah she is a total disaster, a messy person and whatever you are going to say good about her, dad. I am not going to trust her again with my things especially my own property that she tried to ruined." I said.
"Yeah but she is still your sister, I hope that you and your sister is going to get along soon." My father told me and my mom is caressing the shoulder of my dad.
I sighed because I never heard them to say something awful to Patricia, they are tolerating it.
"If you dont like to sleep here, you can sleep in our house." my dad suggest.
"It's okay dad, I can handle it, just dont stress things, I'm going to be okay here." I said and my mom hug me, "Are you sure you are going to be okay here? I mean, this is your first time to be separated from us, live on your own. I am worried about it." My mom said.
"I'm going to be okay mom, dont worry about me." I said and hug her again, "Look at these mess, dont worry, my daughter. I am going to say something to Patricia tomorrow-"
"Just dont tell anything to Patricia, it will get worsen Annabel." My dad reminded my mom.
I was shocked because how can he tolerate Patricia like that, I sighed, "Okay fine, I'm going to sleep now, I am tired all day and stressed." I said and they wave their hand at me, "We are going now, Desiree…just take of yourself." My dad said and I just nod my head without saying any single word. He know that I am upset with him.
Maybe it's to difficult for him to choose between me and my sister because we are both his daughters. I just hope that someday he will have the voice to tell something to ym sister for being such a unrespectful human being.
The Next Day,
I awoke with a headache because I couldn't sleep last night; my eyes and body aren't used to sleeping in this apartment, in this new room. I moaned and yawned, stretched my arms, and glanced around as the window curtains were waving due to the wind coming in through the open window that I had forgotten to close the night before.
I heard my phone rings and it's george, "Hello, sir." I said with a sleepy voice.
"oh, good morning, do you remember what day is today?" he said.
And I fell on my bed when I realized that I have work today, "damn…" I said.
"Uhm, sorry." I said because my boss is still in the line.
"What are you thinking that today is sunday?" he said and chuckles sarcastically, I know he is not happy with my poor performance now, maybe someday he is going to kick me.
"I'm sorry sir, It wont happen again, can I still-"
I heard him laughed, I get up from the floor and hearing me carefully right now, he doesnt seem serious and mad, "I was juts joking, yes today is sunday, why did you forgot?"
"Oh are you kidding me sir?"
"We have our hiking today and I am outside of your new apartment waiting for your to come out. Did you forgot that you say yes to my invitation?"
"Oh about that, yeah…" I chuckles and groaned, I almost forgot about that.
"Sorry, sir. I am going to get dressed now…" I said and hung up the phone.
I go to my bathroom, wash my face while brushing my teeth. Dadm how can I forgot this day and what day is today? Then after that I washed my private part to smell fine, since I dont want to take a shower, like hello? He is waiting outside and I dont have time to take a shower. I am feeling obliged by him.
I bend over to look for my hiking attire and I saw a pair of leggings and a sport bra, and I take a jacket also maybe if I get cold so I have a jacket, I open the little drawer of mine to choose some pair of socks that can match up the color of my nike shoes.
I brush my hair while looking at my reflection at the mirror and smile at myself, I put a liptint and moisturiser on my face andafter that a little powder then I think I am ready to go so I ran outside and see that george is waiting at me inside of his sport car.
"Hi!" I said while panting because I was running.
"Hello, Desiree…are you okay? You look tensed."
"Yes, I tried to be fast as I can so that you wont get tired of waiting for me." I said the he get out of his car and open the car's food for me, I sit on the front seat while smiling at him.
"I guess you just woke up." he said.
"Yeah,"
"Did you take your breakfast already? Do you?" He ask me while looking at my eyes.
"Uhhh, not yet." I replied to his question and take a deep breath.
"Then dont worry, in the mountain, you will have a nice breakfast." he said.
I frowned, what is he talking about?
