Chapter 117_ You lied to me! 4
A figure stood in front of a window gazing at the empty and dark street of L. A, she had no idea how long she had been standing over there but it was getting late..
Hardin left home earlier this morning and hadn’t returned since then, they weren’t always on good terms but that didn’t stop her from worrying about his safety.
It escaped her mind every single time to ask him about the nature of his job, this was infact the first time he had stayed out this late..
And why wasn’t his grandmother worried?
Who was going to make dinner? Grandma Jade acts all lazy whenever Hardin was around and as soon as he steps out, she becomes a tigress and scolds her at every chance she gets..
She walked back to her bed and grabbed the black jean jacket resting on it in an attempt to go find him, maybe he was in some sought of trouble..
Only a few step away from her bed had her freezing up her movement..
She snapped her head back to the window, where a car pulling over could be heard..
Her feet moved over to it quickly, she poked her head out of the window to see a red car just beneath the window with its headlight off..
The car’s front door opened and a lean figure stepped out, sure enough that was Hardin’s build, she sighed in relief glad that he was safe..
But her brows furrowed once the other door opened and a slender lady on a black thigh length gown stepped out of it..
She walked around the car and embraced him, they said a few more words to each other before the lady planted a kiss on his cheek..
Alexa took a step back suddenly feeling annoyed at what she had just witnessed, she closed the window and returned back to her bed sulking..
Few minutes passed by before the sound of the front door closing was heard, his firm footsteps drew closer to her room..
Knowing fully well that he was heading here, she turned off the bedside light and pretended to be asleep..
His footsteps kept on drawing nearer and nearer until she couldn’t hear it anymore..
His familiar cologne crossed her nose which made her heart thump, he was standing behind her..
“Alexa.. I’m back, have you had dinner yet?” he whispered hoping she’d turn to him but he got no response from her..
He faced the window which was now closed, it didn’t appear to be closed when he sighted it from afar earlier..
“Goodnight” he turned around and left the room..
Maybe she was still upset with him after what happened this morning..
***
Damien closed the large blue bedtime story book he had been reading to the two for some minutes until they finally fell asleep..
He sighed in relief and slowly lifted Kelvin’s head off his laps to the pillow..
He planted a kiss on their foreheads and made his way out of the room carefully to go find Olivia..
After they had gotten out of the pool to go for change of clothes, she had refused to come out of her room which made him so worried..
She had promised to read the story alongside with him but she didn’t show up..
He stood before her door running several gentle knocks on it but he got no response, it’s been almost three hours since she left..
He twisted the knob but it didn’t budge, was she locked inside?
He left for his room and returned soon with a bunch of keys..
The keys rattled softly as he inserted one of it Into the key hole, it clicked open afterwards and he hurried in..
And at the same time Olivia strode out of the bathroom pulling down her thigh length black skirt while cursing beneath her breath, Sandy and Bianca were to be blamed for this….
She had only a pink bra on which acted as the only piece of clothing covering her chest..
All of a sudden, she felt a chilly gaze right behind her which made her turn sharply..
Her eyes went wide with shock staring at Damien’s statue like face..
“You!”
A deep red hue spread across her face as her insides died slowly out of embarassment, she was very sure that she locked the door right after she came in wet..
Damien took a step forward to her which made her gulp down nervously, his eyes held different emotions as it pinned on her exposed mounds.. she turned her back against him with her hands over her chest..
“The least you could have done was to knock.. please leave”
Shivers ran down her spine when she felt his warmth just behind her, she turned around only to crash into his body..
Her chest made a small collision against his which amounted to a groan from him, his breathing became deep..
“W-hat are you staring at?.. I said you should-
He held her nape gently and lowered his face to hers, he stared straight into her eyes for a brief second before sealing her lips..
Her eyes rounded in shock at his bold and direct actions, she shuddered at his touch.
One of his hands pressed against her thin waist as he pulled her closer to himself, she sighed feeling something poke against her abdomen..
His lips danced along with hers in a slow and sensual rhythm except that she wasn’t responding to him..
Almost immediately, he regained his senses and pulled away from her like she was some kind of sickness he was avoiding..
He dared not make that same mistake again, this time she should be willing to cross the boundaries with him not otherwise..
He shook his head slowly in protest to what his body really desired, it’s been seven years plus since he had had any affair with a lady..
That was one of the reasons his junior becomes too excited whenever she was around, he closed his eyes mentally scolding himself..
He didn’t want her to become weary of him, the kiss barely lasted a minute but his junior was already activated..
“I’m.. very sorry Olivia, I wasn’t thinking straight” he apologized turning his back against her..
Surprisingly, she hummed in response, no matter how she tried, her brain couldn’t form any words to say to him..
She was neither mad or happy about his actions, his long legs moved hurriedly towards the door in an attempt to leave, but it was jammed, stuck or perhaps locked from the outside..
A small frown settled on Olivia’s forehead, why wasn’t the door opening? were they perhaps stuck here?
Meanwhile, Damien was finding it difficult to open the door and he dared not take a look back unless she was fully dressed..
“Is there a problem?” she curiously asked for him to rest his forehead against the door with a sigh..
It was indeed locked, maybe something was wrong with this particular door..Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“It’s locked… can you please put on something suitable?”
Her lips formed a thin line at his request, this was infact what she was most scared of, her mum and Bianca were just naughty to put her in this dilemma..
“Okay”
She took a glance at his frame that was still facing the door, his neck glistened with his sweat, it behaved like he was uncomfortable..
Was it her doing? she questioned herself as she went through her trunk one more time for a top at least..
But all she got that was close enough was a red net long sleeved crop top, her face fell at the sight….
The rest of her trunk was filled with red and black lacy lingerie, just why??? why do they hate her this much???
She wore the net with a bit of difficulty tugging at it in disdain..
This way worse, if it did anything then that was because it made her look more enticing to be fed on by him..
“How could it get locked from the outside? and where is my key? it was just right there in the keyhole” She pointed out..
Damien straightened up, he guessed she must have changed into something suitable, he turned around to face her..
He could swear that he saw his sane mind leaving that minute as her figure flashed past his grey orbs…
“You’re making things difficult for me Olivia..” his breath hitched..
“I swear this isn’t intentional, remember what happened the last time?”
His finger raked through his dark hair, of course he recalled, but back then at Chicago he barely controlled himself talk less of now where they were both locked in one room…
“A-re you alright?” She stuttered worriedly
Her amber eyes softened in worry, he looked uncomfortable and why was he sweating so much? the Air-conditioning wasn’t faulty or anything..
“There must be a way out of here except the door.. I have to leave” he chanted continuously..
Panick became evident on her face as to why he was behaving strangely, she noticed he hardly made eye contact with her..
Curiously she walked over to him, could be under a panick attack or something?
“Don’t come closer” he warned sternly but she stubbornly did the opposite as he had said..
She touched his arm gently only to feel her back resting on the door behind her the next minute..
His eyes which were filled with lust hungrily stared at her barely cladded chest..
“You’re driving me crazy Olivia”
He slammed his lips against hers hungrily pressing her closer to himself..
