Maeve
I finish the plating and glance at the clock. He already texted me that he's on his way. Grandma is resting for a while. Her nurse is always there to help her with everything. She did get tired from our tour around the city. We stayed a lot of time in the bookstore where she bought a few books to read. Someday, I wanted to have a bookstore as well. I like the smell of the book. Call me nerdy but I love the smell of it.
"Ma'am. Sir's father is here." I got surprised by it. So, I remove my apron to meet his father. I never met his father but now, I will.
I fix myself and walk on the wall and I saw a flushed man walking toward me. His nose and ears are flaring, and he looked scary. My hand suddenly shakes when he comes closer.
"You little gold digger." I gasped when I felt his palm across my cheek making me falls. "How did you manage to get your flaws to my mother?!" he grabbed me by hair making me shudder.
My whole body is frozen and couldn't react. He pulled me up and hold my throat. He's big and taller. Like Zac, but he's scary. He smells cigarette and alcohol as well as I felt another slap on my other cheek. I heard the maids screaming. I couldn't push him. My whole body feels so dumb.
"Tell me, how did you manage to get all of it?" I couldn't look at him.
I heard Zac and a big punch on his father's face. He watched as Zac pushes his father away and gets really, mad.
"Zac," I hiccup. "Zac." I felt my tears. "Stop," I cough and try to crawl to them to stop. I don't know what I am doing but they are going to kill each other.
"Jonathan!" they both stop when I heard grandma scream. The nurse holds her telling her to keep down. "Zac, please." Zachary pushes his father hard that falls on the floor.
"He fucking hurt my wife!" Zachary said. He looked at me and I try to reach him. He ran to me and hold me scooping my sore face. "Ohh," he kisses my forehead. "I'm here." I grabbed his sleeve and shove my face on him. I inhale his scent that relaxes me, and I started sobbing.
My childhood life comes back to me. As my father run with his belt. And my mother slapped me in front of my friends because I wasn't a good daughter. A few of my relatives don't like me because I wasn't a good daughter and a person. I wanted to feel Zac. I wanted to feel a warm body to hold me before I shatter.
I don't know what else happened, but I hold Zac. A lot of things come to my mind. I'm a gold digger. I'm a bad person. I ruin their lives. I'm a bad person. I embarrass my family's name. I embarrassed about my own family. I'm a shameful person. I'm not good enough for him or for anyone else.
I gasped when I felt a cold towel on my cheek. I look at Zac who stayed with me. I forget that we should be having our dinner. He must be hungry.
"You must be hungry." I hold his hand that is holding the towel on my cheek. He shook his head.
"I'm fine."
"I'm sorry." I don't even know why I said that. Maybe I'm sorry for everything because I'm full of shit and I wasn't enough for him. And I'm a good digger.
"Shhh, don't say that. I'm sorry. I shouldn't let him."
"We are going to cancel the camp."
"What? No." I shook my head and took the other towel.
"I never have beaten my wife." He kisses my nose. "I'm sorry, wife. I should come sooner."
"Is he gone?" he nodded. I'm relieved.
Still, my heart aches that someone had done that to me. There are times that I wished to be slammed by sledgehammer than being hurt inside, here in my chest and in my mind. But the pain that I got was also felt by my heart.
We eat dinner quietly and Grandma apologizes to me. She felt really embarrassed by what her son did. She felt bad. I told her that it's alright and it already happened. It wasn't her fault. I heard that he asked for a restraining order for me and for him and for grandma. I heard that grandma took away his part of being an heir and that makes Zac an heir, but I don't understand why he attack me like that.
He cuddled me on our bed and keep checking the blemishes on my cheek. My head hurts a lot as well. So, he didn't ask for sex. I had fallen asleep while he's massaging my head and that's all I wanted to feel. His comfort and care.
I woke up and turn to reach him, but he wasn't on the bed. I went to the bathroom to pee and wash my face. I look at myself in the mirror and the blemishes are gone. But still, I feel a few stings on it. I wash my face again with cold water and then my mouth. I got out wiping my face and found him with a tray. That's so sweet of him.
"We need a lot of food for our camp." The big tray has full of foods and we settled on the table. I sat on his lap, that he asks for, and feed me. I try to forget what happened, but it seemed random to me. I can't hardly remember when I fall asleep.
We bath together and make love there since he's implying something then he shows me the big box and when I open it, it contains all sexy lingerie. I jump on him naked and make love to him again.
Grandma looked so quiet and I kiss her. Telling her that I'm fine and we are going on camping. Grandma told us to enjoy while she will enjoy Taz's company. Taz kept wiggling and even try getting in on the jeep that he will be driving. We caught up on a little traffic. We stop by at the gas station and I bought a few things and take a pee. I frown on their toilet and do my best not to sit on the toilet bowl as I pee.
I got out after putting lots of alcohol. I don't like an unclean bathroom. I look at him and he gave me a laughing face. Maybe because he knows how my face look horror because of their toilet. He put his arms around me and slid it on my ass, squeezing it. I nudge him and he put it back on my arms.
"Did the comfort room makes you horror?"
"It wasn't so comforting at all." He giggles and I frown. "There's no bathroom, there, right?" he smiled. I exhale good things that I bring lots of toilet tissue.
