At that comment, their eyes met and held, the sexual tension between them crackling like lightning in the sky.
“Of course, that’s all you’re able to think about, pervert,” She teased him and a grin stretched his lips.
However, after that, a weird silence fell upon them once again, and both chose to remain silent until Niles gave out an exasperated sigh and turned to her.
“You can punch me all you want but that would not stop me from telling you to go visit your mother, Reina,” He said boldly.
“Don’t ruin this moment, Niles,” she sighed, exhausted.
However, Niles didn’t give up. He took his wife’s face in his palm, “I didn’t say you should forgive her, just pay her a visit please,” He begged her.
Reina took a huge gulp and he saw how difficult it was for her to make that decision, he couldn’t blame her. His wife never had a happy childhood which was no surprise she spoiled her kids, the twins; she wanted them to have the best childhood memory.
Angela had taken away the most precious gift she could ever give to a child and Reina had looked forward to seeing her getting punished for that. Sadly, life doesn’t always give us what we want.
“Fine, I’ll do that but don’t have high expectations. Also, I’m not leaving here today,” she stated with all manner of seriousness.
“Alright, we would do as you said,” Niles said, flashing her one of his world’s sexiest smiles that made her heart rate increase.
However, Reina felt a tight constriction in her throat when she saw the slight bruising on his face caused by her blow earlier.
“And I’m sorry for hurting you,” She apologized, “I don’t know what came over me and I -“
“It’s okay,” Niles assured her, but she didn’t accept that.
“No, it’s not alright. I have no right to hurt you and I promise never to do so again no matter what happens as long as I live,” She swore.
Niles huffed, why was she so serious? However, the man already had an idea forming in his head.
“Fine, if you feel so sorry then you can kiss it better,”
“What?” Reina was startled by the sudden request.
“You heard me right, kiss it better,” He had a smirk on.
“Fine,” Reina acquiesced even though she knew this was one of his plans.
Without hesitation, she leaned closer and bent her head to kiss him there, already having a feeling he would turn his head and the kiss would land on his lips. But alas, that was not the case which was strange.
But then, Niles showed his real color sooner.
“What?” Reina asked when she saw him pointing to his lips.
“There too,” He tapped his pouty lips.
“But I didn’t punch you there,” She argued.
“Yes, you didn’t but the pain transferred there and now I need a healing kiss,” He claimed.
“Tsk, tsk,” Reina clicked her tongue. How could a grown man behave so shamelessly? Yet she still kissed him there and her sly husband took advantage of the opportunity.
*Imagine the next scene, wink wink *
The third point of view:
Emerald’s party was pretty much over after the stunt the kids pulled. Grace and Phillip had stripped down to everyone’s horror as they ran around the garden like people who had lost their sanity.
Cecil didn’t wait to see what happened afterward since she took that opportunity to leave. Her emotions had been one hell of a roller-coaster ride throughout today. It wasn’t exactly thrilling to know she had caught feelings for a stranger she had blamed for her misfortune for eighteen good years. It was absolutely ridiculous.
And right now, she was turning and tossing in bed without sleep catching her. What in the world was wrong with her? Why was she dwelling on Emerald too much?
Thank God she was leaving tomorrow. Perhaps, it was because of the fact they were in the same house that his presence kept on troubling her. Once the distance sets in, his existence would remain only as a memory to her. Yeah, that was it, everything would be better tomorrow morning.
Reaching out for the tumbler on her bedside, Cecil was baffled to find out that there was no water in it. She looked towards the jar, there was no water in it either. Wait a minute, had she finished a liter of water that quickly.
With an exasperated sigh, Cecil tossed the sheet aside, slipped on her flip flop, and got to her feet. She needed water.
The reason Cecil had filled the jar with water was so she doesn’t go wandering this large house in search of water in the middle of the night, but her plan wasn’t successful. She located one of the many refrigerators in this large dining room and filled her glass.
Closing the fridge, a shriek escaped her mouth when she saw someone appear out of nowhere.
“Seriously, what was that for?” She had a hand to her chest, glaring at the woman who had scared her.
“Sorry,” Juliet said, but her chuckle told Cecil she wasn’t apologetic at all.
Without another word to her, Cecil took her water jar to the table and poured herself a drink. She was in the middle of downing the whole liquid when she felt a presence towards her and knew without a doubt that it was Juliet.
For some reason, Cecil didn’t like her and it wasn’t just because she was throwing herself at Emerald earlier and no, this had nothing to do with Emerald or jealousy. She simply doesn’t like ladies who cling to a man that doesn’t want them – like have some respect, girl.?Well, how does she know Emerald doesn’t want her? He has a first love, remember?
“Having a hard time sleeping?” Juliet came to stand beside her.
“I’m fine,” Cecil replied coldly, hoping that would send her away, but the woman must be dumb to not comprehend her evasive approach.
“I can’t sleep too,” She answered as if she saw through her lie.
“Well, if you can’t sleep, you can find your lover to help you with that,” Cecil spat out and instantly regretted it. She didn’t mean to say that, it had slipped out of her mouth.
“My lover?” The woman’s brow raised questioningly.
Cecil sighed and dropped her glass and she faced the woman, saying, “Listen, I get that you’re uncomfortable with my presence here, but you should know that I wish you the best in your pursuit of Emerald’s heart. Whatever happened between him and I is in the past and we wouldn’t have met currently if the world hadn’t been such a small place. So aside from his first love, I wish you the best in capturing his heart,” she stated, feeling a stab in her heart at her last comment.
