Jefferson’s POV
As usual, Celina was in my study room and the way she cleaned up the table, I can say that she was already done. I remember asking her about her things being packed but she answered me no. Just what was wrong with her?
I wanted to ask her if it was about me not calling her, but I changed my mind. There’s no way that she is going to act this way just because of that, she’s full of herself as well, so even if it was like that, she would never ever tell it to me.
Susane was at the doorstep when she opened the door with a tray of food in her hand. Why would she bring the food here? Does that mean— I found my thoughts to be correct when Susane said that she had not eaten her lunch yet. Of course, I get furious because of that.
There were a lot of people in the world who didn’t have any food and here she was, and didn’t care if she was starving or not. Did she do this because we were fighting? Although I would be happy if it was like that, I still didn’t like the idea. I looked and asked her about why she had not eaten yet,
“Because I was busy. Don’t think that it was because of you, because that’s not gonna happen. I won’t starve myself just because of someone like you.” she answered, and I got mad. Well, technically, because I was not the reason for her not being able to eat, but it was more than that.
“And what about me? What did I do? Why the f*** can’t you just tell me what I did so I would know?” I couldn’t help but shout.
“Can’t you lower your voice? Why are you even shouting? If you can’t think of anything, then you did nothing!” she said in a low and controlled voice. She might not have wanted the maids to hear us, but I don’t care. This is my house and I can do whatever I want to do. I was about to say more but she had turned her back on me and followed Susane down.
She was going to eat for sure, so I would just let her be. I went to our bedroom and started to pack her things. If she doesn’t want to do it, then I am going to do it myself. There’s no way that I am going to leave her here while Noli’s warning was still clear in my mind. Another thing is, Norris was around, so bringing her with me was the best thing to do.
I was packing her clothes and then I suddenly stopped. Will she like the clothes that I am packing for her or will it only add up to my sin? Wait, why is it my sin? Does not calling her a grave sin already? Then I remember Noli’s mom. Will she let me sleep in the living room as well, just like Noli’s dad? I shook my head because I didn’t want to think about it. There’s no way that I am going to agree with that.
My phone rang so I took it and answered it. Mark was at the other end, so he must be really anxious now. “What is it man?” I asked.
“Are you really going here with your wife?” he asked.
“Yes, why?”
“Well, you know your wife,” he replied and I chuckled. Why is he so afraid of Celina when she’s the sweetest person I ever met?
“Yeah, I know that she’s sweet.” I voiced it out.
“F*** man, you don’t need to tell me that you already had a taste of her. I was scared at how she looked at me. If looks could kill, I would have died that night that I sent you home.” he replied,
I laughed at his reaction and told him about how I was going to have mine and Celina’s honeymoon there. I even told him about introducing Celina to the JS Hotel Resort and Casino as my wife. Then he talked about his wife and suddenly wanted to come back here to file for their divorce. “You know that it is a lot easier to process a divorce in Kenom,” I told him and he agreed.
As I turned, I saw Celina standing by the door, so I was shocked. Did she hear about my plans? How long has she been there? “I will call you later, our flight will be tomorrow morning so be prepared.” I told Mark.
“Your wife is there, right?”
“Yes,”
“See, you are afraid of her as well. At least you managed to say goodbye, unlike last time when all I heard is your hungry kiss–”
“Shut up!” I said and hung up. I’m sure that he is laughing at me now.
“How long have you been there?” I asked,
“I just came in. Why?”
“Nothing,” I replied and went to the walk-in closet again and I felt her following me.
“What are you doing with my things?” she asked when she saw all the clothes that I was choosing from and what to bring for her.
“Packing your things.” I simply replied and I saw her face hardened for a moment. Yes, it was only for a moment. She suddenly smiled and I was shocked. How come she’s smiling at me now?
“Can’t we just stay here? Or if you really need to go there, why not just go alone?” she asked as she approached me and had her hand on my chest. F***! What is she up to now?
“I already told you that it was important for me to be there.” I replied,
“Then you can just go there and don’t take me there. I have a fear of heights.” she said,
My forehead creased with what she said and I am not stu*** so I didn’t believe her, “What’s going on, Celina?” I asked instead.
“What do you mean?”
“Why do you suddenly not want to leave with me?”
“You know that I didn’t want to go.”
“But we already agreed to it.”
“You agreed to it,” she replied, “Can’t you just leave me here? I had some projects to finish and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to finish them in time if I come with you.” she added, “Although, I can’t deny the fact that I am going to miss you.” she continued with her mouth almost touching mine, which made my d*** twitch,
“Fu***** seductress..” I told her,
“I am not doing anything, I was just asking you not to take me with you,” she replied as she tilted her head a bit and had her hand on my shoulder. She was small, so she must have been worried that she’d fall because she was tip-toeing just for her lips to touch mine.
What the f*** had happened to her? She just ate and now she’s acting like this. And hell, I want to f*** her right where we were standing.
