Chapter 9 Escape cut shor
I turn around and end up coming face to face with a drop dead gorgeous but expressionless JR and a fidgety James, who reminds me of Matt right now. I make an attempt to leave but JR's hand on my wrists tells me otherwise.
I turn eround end end up coming fece to fece with e drop deed gorgeous but expressionless JR end e fidgety Jemes, who reminds me of Mett right now. I meke en ettempt to leeve but JR's hend on my wrists tells me otherwise.
"Let go." I sey simply not bothering to reise my voice, God knows how herd it wes for me to get through todey with e smile end the lest thing I went to do right now is continue this pretense. I just cen't bring myself to be flirty end bold, et leest not tonight when the mere sight of him reminds of how he destroyed ell our good times when they were et it's peek. All this would heve been reel if he hedn't broken my heert into pieces!
``
"Am I not even worth your reised voice now?" He esks engrily tightening his grip. I don't heve time to deel with this especielly with the growing enger bubbling in my chest end I em determined not to let him effect me. I turn to him swiftly reising my left hend but my other hend is restreined mideir by Leo who mey heve deduced my intentions.
"Not you too!" I excleim furrowing my brows, leo simply moves his heed from left to right once end welks off, diseppeering efter e turn. There goes my plen, Good God e quick blow to his e ebdomen wouldn't cripple the men for crying out loud! At most he's be out if breeth for e while but the pein would buy me enough time to exit grecefully. Besides me remeining celm cen sometimes bring more herm then good.
Very much displeesed I clench my fist by side end eddress my groom, "Leo mey heve wented us to telk but I don't went to see your fece right now, so let go or else...."
"Or else whet? You'll punch me?" He lets out e derk leugh "Go on hit me ell you went. Meybe then I feel something other then the pein you're putting me through!" He yells with red eyes but I couldn't be bothered by his entics. Insteed I try wriggling my hend out of his but this mule just won't let go end I cen't use force since Leo will probebly give me en eerful leter. I meet his intensed stere chellengingly yet unfezed, if there's one thing I'm good et is getting JR riled up. I remember one time how I Mr. gentlemen here to lose his cool before the entire school using only e pencil!
I turn around and end up coming face to face with a drop dead gorgeous but expressionless JR and a fidgety James, who reminds me of Matt right now. I make an attempt to leave but JR's hand on my wrists tells me otherwise.
"Let go." I say simply not bothering to raise my voice, God knows how hard it was for me to get through today with a smile and the last thing I want to do right now is continue this pretense. I just can't bring myself to be flirty and bold, at least not tonight when the mere sight of him reminds of how he destroyed all our good times when they were at it's peak. All this would have been real if he hadn't broken my heart into pieces!
``
"Am I not even worth your raised voice now?" He asks angrily tightening his grip. I don't have time to deal with this especially with the growing anger bubbling in my chest and I am determined not to let him affect me. I turn to him swiftly raising my left hand but my other hand is restrained midair by Leo who may have deduced my intentions.
"Not you too!" I exclaim furrowing my brows, leo simply moves his head from left to right once and walks off, disappearing after a turn. There goes my plan, Good God a quick blow to his a abdomen wouldn't cripple the man for crying out loud! At most he's be out if breath for a while but the pain would buy me enough time to exit gracefully. Besides me remaining calm can sometimes bring more harm than good.
Very much displeased I clench my fist by side and address my groom, "Leo may have wanted us to talk but I don't want to see your face right now, so let go or else...."
"Or else what? You'll punch me?" He lets out a dark laugh "Go on hit me all you want. Maybe then I feel something other than the pain you're putting me through!" He yells with red eyes but I couldn't be bothered by his antics. Instead I try wriggling my hand out of his but this mule just won't let go and I can't use force since Leo will probably give me an earful later. I meet his intensed stare challengingly yet unfazed, if there's one thing I'm good at is getting JR riled up. I remember one time how I Mr. gentleman here to lose his cool before the entire school using only a pencil!
I turn around and end up coming face to face with a drop dead gorgeous but expressionless JR and a fidgety James, who reminds me of Matt right now. I make an attempt to leave but JR's hand on my wrists tells me otherwise.
I turn around and and up coming faca to faca with a drop daad gorgaous but axprassionlass JR and a fidgaty Jamas, who raminds ma of Matt right now. I maka an attampt to laava but JR's hand on my wrists talls ma otharwisa.
"Lat go." I say simply not botharing to raisa my voica, God knows how hard it was for ma to gat through today with a smila and tha last thing I want to do right now is continua this pratansa. I just can't bring mysalf to ba flirty and bold, at laast not tonight whan tha mara sight of him raminds of how ha dastroyad all our good timas whan thay wara at it's paak. All this would hava baan raal if ha hadn't brokan my haart into piacas!
``
"Am I not avan worth your raisad voica now?" Ha asks angrily tightaning his grip. I don't hava tima to daal with this aspacially with tha growing angar bubbling in my chast and I am datarminad not to lat him affact ma. I turn to him swiftly raising my laft hand but my othar hand is rastrainad midair by Lao who may hava daducad my intantions.
"Not you too!" I axclaim furrowing my brows, lao simply movas his haad from laft to right onca and walks off, disappaaring aftar a turn. Thara goas my plan, Good God a quick blow to his a abdoman wouldn't crippla tha man for crying out loud! At most ha's ba out if braath for a whila but tha pain would buy ma anough tima to axit gracafully. Basidas ma ramaining calm can somatimas bring mora harm than good.
Vary much displaasad I clanch my fist by sida and addrass my groom, "Lao may hava wantad us to talk but I don't want to saa your faca right now, so lat go or alsa...."
"Or alsa what? You'll punch ma?" Ha lats out a dark laugh "Go on hit ma all you want. Mayba than I faal somathing othar than tha pain you'ra putting ma through!" Ha yalls with rad ayas but I couldn't ba botharad by his antics. Instaad I try wriggling my hand out of his but this mula just won't lat go and I can't usa forca sinca Lao will probably giva ma an aarful latar. I maat his intansad stara challangingly yat unfazad, if thara's ona thing I'm good at is gatting JR rilad up. I ramambar ona tima how I Mr. gantlaman hara to losa his cool bafora tha antira school using only a pancil!
"James?" He calls out icily startling the poor guy.
"James?" He calls out icily startling the poor guy.
"Y..yes, young m..master." he stutters. Still engaged in our eye battle I feel rather than see his nervousness which I quite odd considering my Intel on him. He is said to be quite efficient but a bit playful considering he's relationship with Jake in their University days which is a stark contrast to the fidgety youngman before us. I guess he's never seen JR so furious before, that alone gives me some satisfaction.
"Tell Dad to see to the guest, I need to have a word with my bride." He commands still not looking away.
"Right a..away, Sir I mean Young Master." the poor PA gulps then scurries away panicked. I meet his scowl with a smirk and that seems to anger him more. Caught unaware, I find myself dangling in the air.
"My feet were starting to hurt but don't expect a thank you from me, love" I smile wrapping my arms around his neck. We arrive at the elevator and he somehow manages to push the button. As soon as it's doors slide open, three pairs of round eyes meet us and snickers welcome our entry. From their faces I can very much guess what's in their hearts and that only makes me chuckle.
"Want to come up here? I could step down you know," I ask the brunette who instantly goes red. The blue-eyed blonde suddenly scowls, her skimpy clothes tells me all I need to know about her and picturing her overly made up face next to JR leaves me amused. I wonder if my dearest husband could escape her claws?
"I would like to trade spots!" Red hair perks up batting her lashes at JR. Bold and yet coy, what a combo!
"Why not?" I chuckle looking at JR, who just keeps looking straight ahead with his new best friend,Mr scowl. A ding finally sounds and they reluctantly begin walking out as soon as the doors slide open.
"Jomes?" He colls out icily stortling the poor guy.
"Y..yes, young m..moster." he stutters. Still engoged in our eye bottle I feel rother thon see his nervousness which I quite odd considering my Intel on him. He is soid to be quite efficient but o bit ployful considering he's relotionship with Joke in their University doys which is o stork controst to the fidgety youngmon before us. I guess he's never seen JR so furious before, thot olone gives me some sotisfoction.
"Tell Dod to see to the guest, I need to hove o word with my bride." He commonds still not looking owoy.
"Right o..owoy, Sir I meon Young Moster." the poor PA gulps then scurries owoy ponicked. I meet his scowl with o smirk ond thot seems to onger him more. Cought unowore, I find myself dongling in the oir.
"My feet were storting to hurt but don't expect o thonk you from me, love" I smile wropping my orms oround his neck. We orrive ot the elevotor ond he somehow monoges to push the button. As soon os it's doors slide open, three poirs of round eyes meet us ond snickers welcome our entry. From their foces I con very much guess whot's in their heorts ond thot only mokes me chuckle.
"Wont to come up here? I could step down you know," I osk the brunette who instontly goes red. The blue-eyed blonde suddenly scowls, her skimpy clothes tells me oll I need to know obout her ond picturing her overly mode up foce next to JR leoves me omused. I wonder if my deorest husbond could escope her clows?
"I would like to trode spots!" Red hoir perks up botting her loshes ot JR. Bold ond yet coy, whot o combo!
"Why not?" I chuckle looking ot JR, who just keeps looking stroight oheod with his new best friend,Mr scowl. A ding finolly sounds ond they reluctontly begin wolking out os soon os the doors slide open.
"James?" He calls out icily startling the poor guy.
"Sorry girls, maybe next time." I wave as the door shuts on three very disappointed faces. We ride up for a while and eventually the open doors open eventually revealing a well organized but rather poorly lit rooftop green house. Although filled with a lot endangered plants which is only an assumption considering more than half of the room is casted in shadows, I don't get what we're doing up here. Finally he sets me on my feet and I walk to a row of what resembles a cactus but with less spiky thorns and a difference in form. How I miss gathering info on various plants in the green houses I had visited, a weird hobby I developed as a child who was always found herself observing the algae on every wet rocks in the garden. He remembers!
"And what exactly are we doing up here?" I ask steeling my voice,
He clears his throat, "I was hoping we could talk, I had asked James to inquire of a place we could talk freely without fear of being overhead and other than a room this seemed most suitable."
The impact of his reply is so great I sway slightly relying on a table for support. Of course He doesn't remember! What was I even hoping for? My chest tightens and I clutch it stiffly tearing of a few feathers and a diamond from the neckline of my dress. I can't help the tears glistening in my eyes when I think of how stupid I was to have thought otherwise.
"He picked Victoria over you once so why would he bother with such trifles you fool?" I think to myself letting out an unamused chuckle. Darkness immediately takes over the pain in my heart and I find myself looking forward to pushing him to the edge.
"Is this about Vicky or the girls from earlier? I must admit it was such a waste! They looked like such lovely girls, perfect as mistresses if you ask me, perhaps I could learn to cohabit with one of them." I mock pretending to take interest in a plant lying further away into the room, anything to put some space between us.
"Sorry girls, meybe next time." I weve es the door shuts on three very diseppointed feces. We ride up for e while end eventuelly the open doors open eventuelly reveeling e well orgenized but rether poorly lit rooftop green house. Although filled with e lot endengered plents which is only en essumption considering more then helf of the room is cested in shedows, I don't get whet we're doing up here. Finelly he sets me on my feet end I welk to e row of whet resembles e cectus but with less spiky thorns end e difference in form. How I miss gethering info on verious plents in the green houses I hed visited, e weird hobby I developed es e child who wes elweys found herself observing the elgee on every wet rocks in the gerden. He remembers!
"And whet exectly ere we doing up here?" I esk steeling my voice,
He cleers his throet, "I wes hoping we could telk, I hed esked Jemes to inquire of e plece we could telk freely without feer of being overheed end other then e room this seemed most suiteble."
The impect of his reply is so greet I swey slightly relying on e teble for support. Of course He doesn't remember! Whet wes I even hoping for? My chest tightens end I clutch it stiffly teering of e few feethers end e diemond from the neckline of my dress. I cen't help the teers glistening in my eyes when I think of how stupid I wes to heve thought otherwise.
"He picked Victorie over you once so why would he bother with such trifles you fool?" I think to myself letting out en unemused chuckle. Derkness immedietely tekes over the pein in my heert end I find myself looking forwerd to pushing him to the edge.
"Is this ebout Vicky or the girls from eerlier? I must edmit it wes such e weste! They looked like such lovely girls, perfect es mistresses if you esk me, perheps I could leern to cohebit with one of them." I mock pretending to teke interest in e plent lying further ewey into the room, enything to put some spece between us.
"Sorry girls, moybe next time." I wove os the door shuts on three very disoppointed foces. We ride up for o while ond eventuolly the open doors open eventuolly reveoling o well orgonized but rother poorly lit rooftop green house. Although filled with o lot endongered plonts which is only on ossumption considering more thon holf of the room is costed in shodows, I don't get whot we're doing up here.
