He sighed as he rolled on the bed, placing his hand to it and when he didn’t feel any one on the bed, his eyes shot blood open and he got off the bed quickly as he covered himself.
He had barely gotten out of bed when he took a deep inhale and smiled at the scent of it, something was cooking downstairs, definitely. He stared at himself and smiled slightly as he remebered the things that transpired between himself and Kathryn the previous night. He ran his fingers through his hair even though he was not sure what she would think of him now but he knew she would he think so bad about him.
He smiled as he remembered how she had shivered slightly under his touch, it made him feel so blissful. He quickly rushed to the cupboard as he took out a towel before going into the bathroom and freshening up.
.
“Good morning” she greeted him with a smile as she placed the food on the table.
Sadly, the door of the bathroom had gotten stuck and he couldn’t imagine himself calling out for her to help him with something as little as that so he had stayed there till he was able to get the door open and it took forever and as such, she had already finished cooking before he made it out.
He hissed slightly as he recalled that incident, that would definitely have being the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to him and he thought of how Kathryn would definitely tease him had he called out to her.
He was sure she would be like. “Daniel Lopez, Mafia don of town, got stuck in the bathroom? Wow, the bathroom must definitely be blessed”
He hissed slightly, what a ridiculous experience, he thought to himself.
As she dished out the food, she couldn’t help but notice that he wasn’t really present at the dining table. “Is everything fine? You can share.” She told him as she had a sip of her juice but then he only gave a smile as he shook his head.
“There’s nothing to worry about, I’m fine” he told her and she smiled slightly as she took her seat beside him.
She could sense something was off but since he had already told her it was fine, she didn’t want to push things further.
While they are, he recieved a phone call and he froze the moment he saw who the caller was. She chuckled slightly as she looked at him. “Everything is fine right?” She asked him.
For some reason, she was starting to worry about him and she didn’t know why. At this point, she didn’t think she could believe him if he told her everything was fine. It didn’t look fine, not to her at least.
He chuckled slightly as he hung up on the call. “Everything is fine, don’t worry about it” he told her as he chuckled slightly.
He cleared his throat as he continued to eat. She looked at him, something was definitely wrong because if something wasn’t, he wouldn’t be acting this strange. She needed to confirm something so she took the glass of water as she held it out, waiting for him to take it.
“Here you go” she told him as she extended her hand.
He swallowed as he took the water with a smile but then just as he was about to place it to his lips, the glass slid out of his sweaty hands. It was at this point that she knew that something wasn’t fine.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get it cleaned up” she told him as she bent and as she was busy picking it up, she purposely got pricked by a glass and she let out a scream of pain.
He took her hand immediately as he stared at it and that was when she realized that she was right after all. He wasn’t doing well and his sweaty hands were proof of this.
Acting like she didn’t know this, she let him tend to her wounds before he picked the glasses up. She stared at him, worried. Whose call could that have being that would warrant he started acting up so soon?
She stared at his phone, maybe she would just have a sneak peek, it wouldn’t hurt now would it? She adjusted her position on the chair as she moved closer to the phone and just as she was about to take the phone, she heard Daniel call out to her.
“Kathryn” he called and she immediately turned to him as she smiled slightly, hoping hr had not seen her try to reach for the phone and luckily, he had not seen her.
“Yes, what’s wrong?” She asked him.
“I might be back late today, don’t stay up.” He told her like he was telling his wife and she smiled, for some reason those words made her heart flutter.
She chuckled but then remembering the call, her face straightened. “Tell me, why would you be back late?” She asked him and he sighed.
“Nothing much, I just have urgent work to get to ” he told her with a forged smile and this really broke her heart, the fact that he was hiding things from her was making her sad and it was breaking her heart but then, she had no choice.
If he thought it important, he would definitely tell her.
She swallowed as she nodded, “sure. No problem ” she told her as she blinked to try and get the tears back in her eyes.
She didn’t understand why him not wanting to share things with her was breaking her. It wasn’t like they were even a couple. It was just seduction between herself and him now wasn’t it?
She took a deep inhale, she had to be calm.
He walked past bed and she could see how his hands were shaking as he grabbed the phone before going upstairs.
Daniel sighed as he locked the door behind him, he didn’t want to hide anything from Kathryn but at this point, he had no choice, he just had to.
He shook his head as he took the incoming call and the moment he heard what the person had to say, the phone slid down his hands as he staggered backwards.
This wasn’t going to be good!
