Davina’s Pov:-
Oh my god! Is this for real? Did he apologize to me? I blinked as I couldn’t believe that he apologized to me. I was just staring at him while opening my mouth and closing it like a fish, I didn’t know how to process this and before I could say something his lips crashed on mine.
He kissed me softly, making my head lite and all those thoughts cut off with his one single action. My eyes rolled back and I found myself kissing him back, his hands resting on either side of my waist pulling me closer to him and deepening the kiss.
He pulled back and stared into my eyes while breathing hard, I was just standing there with swollen lips and staring into his beautiful eyes. My eyes moved to his pink lips and all of a sudden they were so inviting that I couldn’t take my eyes off his lips.
Davina… What are you doing? My subconscious yelled in my head, making me snap back to reality.
Look away from him, what the hell is wrong with you, control yourself…
I blinked and closed my eyes trying to control my raging hormones, “Um… Breakfast is getting cold, you-you should have it,” I stuttered while moving towards his breakfast and pouring the coffee for him into his cup.
I could feel his gaze on me but I didn’t make any kind of eye contact with him and stood aside until he sat down on his couch.
“Hm… Why don’t you feed me, Davina” he asked while sitting down on the couch making me look at him. He had a glint of mischievousness in his eyes, Oh Jesus, this man loves to do this to me. I just don’t understand what he gets by making me feel uncomfortable! I thought while taking a slow deep breath and moving to him.
I took a spoonful of bacon, an egg cheese sandwich and moved it to his mouth without looking into his eyes. My hand was hanging in the air as I waited for him to open his mouth,
Why isn’t he opening his mouth? I thought while glancing at him.
“Arthur?” I called while looking at him and saw him smirking at me, It confused me and before I could think anything he grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap. I gasped in shock and stared at him while he pulled my hand to his mouth and ate the piece of breakfast.
His action not only shocked me but also made me a bit shy, I could feel my cheek turning pink and before he could notice it I quickly tried to get up from his lap but he wrapped his arm around me, preventing me from getting up from his lap.
I looked at his face and saw him smirking while looking at my face, he slowly moved close to me while his eyes gazing at my lips but before he could move any closer I moved my head away from his lips, “Arthur,” I called while looking at the breakfast place on the coffee table.
“Break-breakfast…” I said while bending and grabbing the plate of his breakfast. He made me sit on his lap comfortably and made me feed him breakfast, and I did it without making eye contact. He found it quite amusing, whenever our eyes met, I quickly looked away while letting him chuckle at my action.
As soon as I fed him, I quickly got up from his lap and moved away, he chuckled and shook his head while getting up from the couch.
“You know… women never miss any chance to sit with me and here you are, always trying to run away from me,” he said looking at me,
Because they don’t know what kind of a man you are, I thought but didn’t dare to say it out.
I just looked at him while swallowing hard, “Anyway, about your job…” he said, gaining my attention, “… I don’t think you could manage it since you have April now,” he said while putting his hands inside his pockets.
“She is completely your responsibility if you want her with you and…” He stepped closer while staring down at me, I gulped and stepped back, “… I should not see her in my room or in any other room where I love to spend time… Coop will tell you where she is not allowed to go and where she is allowed, take note of that and make sure the rules are followed carefully…,” he stepped closer and pulled me to him while wrapping his arm around my waist, ” or else you know what happens?…” he began tracing his knuckles against my bare shoulder, “… I know you don’t want me to do things that you don’t enjoy,” he said glancing down at his hand while tracing my shoulder.
“… Arthur,” I breathed out, looking down at his hand, he looked back at me and smirked at my state. He moved closer until his hot breath hit my face, while his eyes locked onto my lips and I found myself moving closer to him, closing my eyes.
I felt his lips touch my cheek and lingered there for a minute, he placed a kiss just at the corner of my lips before moving back and staring at my face. He smirked at my confused expression while stepping back.
I watched him walk towards the door, he glanced back at me before walking out of the room leaving me confused.
Something is definitely wrong with Arthur! He never acts this way! Maybe something happened to him and that might be the reason why he’s like this today.
I thought and shook my head to let myself out of his thoughts, I took everything and headed back to the kitchen. The butler took the trolley from me and made his way into the kitchen while I walked back to my room. I opened my room door and stepped inside, my eyes landed on sleeping April.
I stood beside my bed while staring down at April, debating whether to wake her up or let her sleep, she looked too adorable to wake up. I sighed as I could not be so cruel as to wake her up, I pulled the blanket over her while pushing a few strands of hair out of her face.
I walked out of the room while closing the door behind me and made my way to the living room since Arthur asked me to take the list from Coop, I was now searching for him. I was curious to know what rules he set out for April, I don’t understand why he hates kids, they’re so pure souls.
I wonder why? But it was so sweet of him to allow her even though he hated kids! I thought while a smile plastered on my face.
Sweet of him? My subconscious mocked,
Yeah! That was a sweet gesture, I replied.
Oh! Break one of those rules he created for her and we’ll see how sweet he is! My subconscious replied sarcastically.
I sighed as his past behaviour flashed in front of my eyes, I just hope he doesn’t put too many rules for her. Where is Coop? He should be here. I looked around the garden and couldn’t find him. I walked back inside the mansion and saw him walking from the kitchen, “Coop,” I called him while walking up to him.
He stopped in his tracks as he heard my voice, “Yes, Miss. Ellis?” He asked looking at me,
“Arthur asked me to…” I began but he cut me off, “Oh! Please follow me,” He said and gestured for me to follow him. I nodded my head and followed him to the living room, there was a black file laying on the coffee table and underneath the black file had a white paper.
There you go!… maybe he wrote only 2 or 3 rules in that white paper… my subconscious said.
I sighed in relief while following Coop but before I could thank god for this his hands moved to the file. I watched him in shock as he took it and turn around, “Here,” he said while handing it over to me.
I took it while signing in disappointment, as I opened the file my eyes bulged out of their sockets when I saw the list of rules. My eyes moved to the piece of paper laying on the coffee,
Have a pleasant day, was written in beautiful cursive writing along with a wink emoji.
“What the hell,”
