Chapter 249
Thea
For the few days Carl had been around I had made out time to stay with him. He didn’t know anyone here like he knew me and since he had vowed to stay until Angel decided to let me go, I had to be his best company.
I took the cookies to his room, I was proud of myself for helping out with the baking process so I hoped he liked it.
It had been up to a minute since I began knocking on his door and I was getting worried as he wasn’t answering. Just when I was about to turn leave and call for help, Carl answered the door but unlike the other day he seemed to be intentionally blocking the way. I looked at him confused but he wasn’t moving so I gave him the cookies instead.
“I made it with Camilo and Cassie. I just thought I’d get some for you.” I said breaking the silence between us.
“Oh… Thank you.” He answered taking it with a smile. “I’m sure I’ll love it.” He said and I knew something was up with him. He knew I sucked at cooking and never hid his opinion about my skills or had his ordeal made him a better person?
Somehow I felt sad, maybe I was too clingy while thinking I was offering him good company so I didn’t pressure to know why he was acting this way and keeping me outside.
“Alright… I’ll be on my way.” I said and he nodded to my disappoinment. He wasn’t even trying to hide the fact that he didn’t want me there. He shut the door even without me completely moving away and just then I paid attention to the faint smell from when he opened the door.
I wasn’t sure but it smelled like sex. Yes, like sex. He had to have done it so much for a faint smell to linger or maybe it was just in my head because the thought had gotten into my head
I decided to wait by the corner, how was it possible that he had a maid to drill so quickly or maybe I was just overthinking things.
I was too inquisitive that I think I waited about ten minutes before I heard the door open gently.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I got alert and took a peek from the corner and my eyes widened with a mixture of shock and excitement as I saw a maid tiptoeing her way out of his room.
Well, the fuck…. I laid my back against the wall reflecting on myself. I haden’t had the appetite for sex with everything that had happened to me so far but whenever Angel was close especially that day he confronted me at the warehouse for the kiss we shared, my body betrayed me and I found myself being aroused.
It disgusted me to feel that way with Angel, the man I should hate. He was the reason I lost our child yet he made me feel things I shouldn’t. Thinking About him now only made me feel disgusted with myself. I had a quick flash of our intimate moments in the past and my body reacted positively to it so I shook my head waving the images out of it.
I checked on Camilo and found out that she was still with her brother, of course I didn’t expect her to be done so quickly. I went back to the kitchen to find Cassie but didn’t see anyone so I returned back to my room. I had this sadness within me all these time but ever since I found out that Carl was alive it made me feel less guilty and desire to be happy. Right now, I just wanted to have fun and be happy. Forget my pains and the hate. I deserved to be happy because I had done nothing wrong.
After spending a while in my room, I decided to take a stroll around the compound and ended up at the golf field. My heart beat excitedly, finally something….
I didn’t just want to watch, I wanted to play so I hurried back to my room and went through my wardrobe. I was certain I had a tennis skirt somewhere or maybe something that looked like it. I found one, a white one to be precise and took a navy blue t-shirt which I tied to my belly then I picked a face cap to match and wore a white sneaker.
“Perfect!” I snapped my fingers satisfied with my look. I decided to text Cassie since Camilo was still with her brother. It would be more fun to have someone tag along.
I got to the the field and soon Cassie joined me. We blew kisses to ourselves and giggled upon seeing each other. Minutes went by and we became cheerleaders for the men who were playing.
“Can you teach me?” I yelled to one of the men who I noticed had been eyeing me. I didn’t mind that, not like I belonged to their master anymore, besides I’d be mad if no one admired me. I knew I was lean after everything Angel had put me through but it made me happy to see that someone still admired me. I still had my beauty so why not?
The gentleman hastened his steps towards me, beaming with a smile that said he totally had a crush on me. Cassandra elbowed me and I pushed her hand away. I returned the smile as well looking at the player.
“I’m Thea, what’s your name?” I asked and he gave me a confused look.
“Leo… And I know you, you don’t need to introduce yourself to me ma’am.”
“Ma’am? Don’t call me that. I’m just Thea.” I said and he nodded despite feeling uneasy.
“Want to come over?” He said and I nodded. I took his hand and he led me to the field. I glanced at Cassandra sticking out my tongue to mock her as well as giving her the middle finger. Her lips were spread apart in shock and she looked like she wanted to fight me.
I chuckled feeling amused by her reaction. I appreciated that moment even though the happiness was fleeting.
Leo began by telling me the basics about the spot then he stood behind and was about to show me how to swing when another man cleared his throat while walking in front of us. It sounded suspicious and I felt Leo pull away from me. I turned around to know what was going on. Why was I being rejected today? First it was Carl and now him.
“What’s the matter? Why did you stop?” I asked looking at Leo. He seemed to be glancing at something or someone through his peripheral so I looked behind him only to realize the reason for the sudden change of attitude. It was Angel and in that moment my heart skipped a bit.
