Sheila took off until she got to where Fred had parked his car but instead of seeing the flashy red sports car, she was met by David’s Bugatti with Peter his driver leaning on the car.
“Good afternoon Miss?” Peter greeted the already awkward Sheila.
” Good afternoon Peter.” Sheila greeted back.
She then walked to the nearby tree and leaned on it.
She cursed inwardly for behaving so childishly despite knowing that the two of them were already boyfriend and girlfriend.
She ran away at a moment of panic.
David walked out majestically as the king he was.
He halted after opening the door and looked over his shoulder to where Sheila was standing.
“Do you plan to stay here over the day?” He monotonously asked, trying to conceal his anger.
He was really unhappy about how his little woman behaved after seeing him but he tried to suppress his displeasure and not scare her.
But it was getting hard to control himself from thinking about that. He wondered if he was really that unattractive.
Was she repulsed with the idea of kissing him?
Those questions run through his mind, worsening his already bad mood.
Without waiting to be called a second time, Sheila made her way to the car. opening the other side of the car, she got in, settled and buckled her belt.
She could tell that he was displeased.
Maybe by her actions from earlier.
Maybe she should just say sorry to him?
But how and where will she start? She didn’t have any idea and the last thing she wanted was to have an awkward relationship between them.
After David settled in the car, Peter kicked on the engine and the car drove away.
With the partition pulled down, the two were left to deal with their awkwardness.
Sheila was really thinking about clearing things between them but was scared of what reason to give.
She was afraid that if she said that she was starting to like him, she might end up rejected.
According to her, David was not someone who could have his eyes on a simple and poor lady like her. She didn’t want to get hurt by rushing things. She was worried he might think she was after something from him.
Afterall, Vanessa always warned her about getting entangled with rich people.
She was also scared, putting into consideration that the two of them were from two different worlds.
The silence was disturbing so David decided to break the awkwardness between them.
He wanted to confirm what she said back at the house to Fred.
If it’s true she was already in love with him, he would let go of going out with a man without informing him.
He will also forget that she avoided his kiss like he was stinking.
” About what you said earlier,” He started , looking at her intently.
Sheila turned to look at him only to be met by his mesmerising black orbs that sucked her soul and made her heart start racing.
” Did you mean it?” David asked flatly. His voice sounded unhappy, or at least that’s how Sheila interrupted or despite him trying to be as gentle as possible.
Her heart picked its race and before she could think, her mouth answered for her.
” No.” She replied and the little hope in David’s heart dissipated into thin air.
He was really hopeful that she was slowly falling for him.
The air in the car suddenly dropped as his disappointment occupied his heart.
Did that mean she used him to drive her admirer away?
Although he was pleased that she didn’t accept the man’s proposal, he couldn’t help but worry that maybe that’s because she had someone else she loved because that’s the excuse she gave.
Since that person wasn’t him, did she have some other secret lover he knows nothing about?
Just thinking about that possibility was enough to ruin his mood totally.
Of Course he understood that there’s a possibility he was overthinking everything but he couldn’t help the bitter feeling in his heart..
His heart constricted painfully when he heard her answer.
It was the first time he was falling in love so these kinds of feelings were unfamiliar to him.
He didn’t say anything anymore.
Sheila on the other hand regretted immediately giving such a stupid answer.
She had chosen to admit the truth to him and accept any results she would get.
She would accept what he decides about them but her stupid mouth was faster than her brain and before she knew it, she had already sprouted such nonsense.
The drive was rather more awkward now than it was before David asked the question.
She regretted giving such an answer.
David’s silence did nothing to lessen the guilt in her voice.
She didn’t know whether he was angry or happy about her answer.
Since she wasn’t courageous enough to reproach the topic again without annoying the Man, she decided to push everything behind her mind and continue with life.
When the two arrived at the house, David was the first to alight the car, banging the door, he took hurried steps to the house without waiting for anybody.
Sheila jumped from the noise made by the slammed door. She realised that at this point, David was really pissed off.
But why would he get mad at her?
It’s not like she could ever match his class or have him all to herself.
Sheila didn’t want to deceive herself, she knew that it was impossible between them.. She couldn’t tell whether her earlier plan of confessing to him was really a good move. If anything, she was grateful that she managed to stop her stupid heart from betraying her and confessing to David.. It was fine this way.
They could just stay in the relationship until her trying period was over. After that, she will have to disappear from his life like she never existed.
That could be the only way to save herself and also give him a headache.
Sheila trailed behind David and entered the house.
David was nowhere to be seen and she assumed that he probably went to his room.
Lily was seated on the lounge chair.
” How was your date, beautiful sister?” Lily asked. There was a hint of guilt in her voice.
She just saw her father walk into the house mad. He said nothing to her apart from kissing her cheeks despite arriving from w business plan.
Knowing his father, she could tell that the two might have fought or something.
She couldn’t help but think that she is the cause of everything.
Sheila could only sigh and lie her way throughout such a question.
What was she supposed to say? That David had watched as another man proposed to her?
Or say that the two were giving each other the cold shoulders.
” it was fine dear” Mira answered, her weak voice Showing how drained she was.
The proposal coupled with the tense atmosphere in the car took a toil on her mental health.
” I’m going to my room to sleep.” Sheila announced and Lily nodded in understanding.
Sheila walked upstairs and to her room before collapsing on her bed.
if possible, she could just remain in bed all day long.
