“What about the clothes?” Calvin’s words remind me, what do I wear after taking off my wet clothes?
“Take it.” I open the door, leaving only a small gap of the door, and he hands me a white men’s shirt, but then the problem comes again. The underwear is also wet, and it will become transparent with a white shirt.
“Can you give me a dark shirt?” I am a little embarrassed.
Calvin doesn’t ask why, and quickly hands me a black shirt.
The shirt is too big. It looks like a skirt on me. The bottom of the shirt was just above my knees. I tell myself that I am not exposed, and then dart out the door.
Calvin stares at my back, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Calvin’s pov
My shirt looks extraordinarily large on her. She is bare feet . She walks around , her beautiful body just hover in my front. Her eyes are shimming with lust, She is too attractive !
Her eyes seem to light my body on fire, She startled me, making me jump slightly and enough for me to loose my grip
Alexia’s pov
Calvin just feast his eye on me.
I curve up and form a smile on my mouth corner, trying to bread the awkward atmosphere.
Under his guidance, I successfully put the wet clothes into the dryer.
I sink myself awkwardly on corner of the sofa, fearing that a slight move would expose my body part.
“Your phone buzzes.” Calvin hands me the phone. I open it , it is from Anni and Andy. They both come to me in tacit understanding.
After a while, they start a video call again,
“You finally answered the phone.” Anni looks a little worried. “Johnny Evans calls me many times today, and he wants to kneel and beg me. I couldn’t bear it so I give him your phone number, sorry.”
“Hey, it doesn’t matter if you tell the phone, why tell him where we live?” I am a little angry.
“This is not what I said. He didn’t know where to find out where we live together, and then found my address.” Anni is also very aggrieved.
“Then Johnny Evans just calls me and said that you never answered his phone. He was worried about you so he asked me to contact you.”
“And what then? Alexia, did you contact him!” Andy exclaims excitedly, but then she discovers my abnormality, “Alexia, where are you? Why do you seem to be wearing men’s clothes?”
“Shhh! Shut up!” I peek at Calvin, but fortunately he is not noticing me, “I’ll talk about it when I get back! Hang up!”
“Wait!” Andy screams again,
“Alexia, how do I think the man behind you is Mr. Smith? Ah! It’s not like! It’s him! Have you two confirmed the relationship? Ah, ah, great, you Finally figure it out!” Andy’s voice is so loud, I feel smith has noticed.
“Shut up!” I yell at Andy, I am almost mad.
“Are you friends?” Calvin wriggles his eyebrows, asks.
“Yes, we are college classmates and roommate.”
“Well, Andy is talking nonsense, don’t mind.”
“Which sentence?” I just want to say that what Andy said is not true. What does he mean? Does he want to take advantage of me again?
“No, nothing.” I pretend that nothing happened.
The atmosphere between us becomes awkward and tense again, I don’t know when Calvin sits next to me,
“Don’t you fall in love with me?”
I feel that my ears are burning again. I look at him and shake my head,
“We are not a match!”
“If you decline me today, there will be no chance in the future, don’t you regret it?” Calvin gently brush my burning cheek.
His gaze seems to light my body on fire.
I am little panicked, my heart tremble inexplicably.
But I still shake my head, “No regrets!”
Calvin gaze at me and sighs.
The atmosphere suddenly becomes silent.
Feeling a little uneasy, I quickly change the subject: “The clothes are dry, I need to take them out of the laundry.”
Put on my own clothes and I should go. “I’m leaving now, thank you.”
“I’ll send you home.” Calvin’s eyes are warm.
“No, I’ll go by myself.” I don’t want to bother him anymore.
“Just go with me!” Calvin doesn’t allow me to refuse, put on his coat and leads me out the door.
The shelter is one of the top communities, with a high level of security. Facial recognition is required to enter and exit, and by-visitors can’t enter.
“Go home?” Calvin asks me again after exiting the gate of the community.
“No!” I hesitate and decide to go to Andy’s house, so I tell him the address of Andy’s house.
Then we are all silent, and the moment, I feel we are so distant.
I arrive at Andy’s house an hour later, Calvin keeps silent to me, I am a little panicked, so I take the initiative to speak.
“Thank you, that necklace, I’ll give it back to you.”
“I said, throw it away if you don’t want it.” Calvin’s tone is particularly cold, and his eyes are even more indifferent.
The way he talks is totally me a stranger, and I am a little upset.
Then he drives away.
I am a little depressed as if I had said something wrong.
Andy is very surprised when she sees me. She grabs me and want to ask me what happened, but I am so depressed and don’t have the mood to discuss this with her, but there are some questions I want to ask Andy’s opinion.
“Andy, ask you a question. If you reject a man who has always said that he wants to pursue you and treat you well, then this man suddenly changes his attitude towards you, that is, becomes very indifferent, what happened to him?”
“Who did you reject! Johnny Evans? Mr. Smith?” Andy’s eyes flashes with questions.
“It’s not me!” I won’t admit it.
“You reject Mr. Smith! You brain screws!” Andy glances me and knows immediately what happens.
“Did Johnny Evans come back and give you hope again, do you still want to reunion with him?”
“No! It’s impossible for me and him!” I deny.
“Well, didn’t you say that you don’t like Mr. Smith? Then you reject him. It is normal for him to be cold to you. You feel uncomfortable now? Do you think he should always pursue you?” Andy asks me very seriously.
“I didn’t think so!” I shake my head again , “I just think…”
“You just feel lost?” .
I think for a long time, then nods gently.
“Alexia, what can you tell me about you? Do you know how excessive your behavior is? It’s hypocritical!”
Am I like this? I am a little angry, but I also reflect on myself because of her words.
Recently, I am too hypocritical.
“How decisive you used to be, now you have become sluggish because of your feelings! And if I were Mr. Smith, I would definitely ignore you.” Andy sneers at me.
“Well, don’t talk about me, how is your dream of becoming a star?” I can no longer discuss with Andy, I have to think about it myself.
“He got me a job, but he asked me to act as a corpse, so I decline him. Forget it, I’m not a star anymore. I will try to lose weight and participate in beauty contests in the future.”
Andy recognizes the reality and decides to work diligently and stop dreaming.
“I’m going to sleep with you today, you go take a bath first.” I drive Andy away and start looking at the phone. At the beginning, my phone keeps receiving text messages.
“Alexia, will you answer my call?”
“Alexia, I have something important to ask you. Will you answer my call?”
“Alexia, it was a misunderstanding. I was caught in a trap set by Abby Williams. I was a victim.”
Seeing this, I really can’t stand it anymore. Does he think I’m a fool? What I saw with my own eyes cannot be fake.
But I also understand that this matter has always been a boulder in my heart. Avoidance is not a solution. I should not escape anymore, click on the text message and return him a text, with only one word, “Okay!”
But immediately there is a call coming in. The number is familiar . I take a deep breath and answer.
“What’s the matter, please tell me.” I didn’t expect that I would be so calm when I hear his voice.
“Can we meet and talk?” Johnny Evans asks cautiously. “Don’t worry, there are some things that I just learned recently. I want to tell you.”
“Okay.” I also know that if I don’t agree to meet him today, he will bother me everyday, so let’s meet.
We agree to meet at Starbucks, and Andy is very happy to hear my arrangement , she also proposes to go with me.
After arriving at Starbucks, I never think that seeing him again would be like this. Although I persuade myself not to care, I still feeling heartache. Once I loved him, I hate him now!
After he sees me,
He seems pale, and talks with a shark voice,
” Alexia, please listen to me, everything was a misunderstanding.”
I am dumbfounded.
“That’s all?.”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I don’t want to betray you” Johnny Evans’s expression turns tense, and I avoid his gaze.
“If you want to tell me this , I’m leaving, I believe my eyes.”
“I don’t know how to convince you, but you have to trust me.” Johnny Evans hugs me, pulling me against his chest.
“I love you, I have always loved you, I have missed you all the time in the past few years, can you give me another chance?”
The moment I fall into his arms, I feel so familiar, he was everything about love in my memory, but we will never go back to the past, I push him away hard, “Go away!” I shout.
“No, I won’t let you go. I know you hate me, but I am a victim, can you forgive me!” Johnny Evans’ words makes me sick!
“Go away, don’t you think your apology came too late? You have never apologized for so many years, but now you come to apologize to me, I won’t believe you anymore.”
