Caroline woke up with a slight headache. Glancing to the nightstand, she saw a glass of water, a note and some pills.
she picked the note first, smiling as she read it.
You'll wake up with a headache so take the pills so you'll feel better - R.
it's definitely Rodrigo. Caroline made a mental note to thank him later when she met him, for now she decided to take a shower and put her old clothes on. it doesn't look like she's leaving anytime soon so she better try to make most of her time meaningful.
After cleaning up, she decided to sebd a letter to the ranch to inform them that she was okay and was currently being housed at the Casimero Ranch. After she sent the letter, she decided to take matters into her own hand and get herself breakfast.
As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, she met the guest from yesterday's dinner. she was in a sheer nightgown with a cup of coffee in her hand looking like the ideal girlfriend.
Caroline grabbed a bowl, putting some milk into it and turning on the stove to warm it. Just as she took it off the fire, Rodney grudgingly walked in. Vanessa tire herself at him, pecking his lips and offering him a cup of coffee. He silently walked away from her and grabbed the cup of warm milk Caroline had just poured for herself.
"but that's mine", she complained as he took a sip.
"make yourself another", he simply said.
Caroline rolled her eyes at him.
"did you just roll your eyes at me?", he asked
Caroline feigned ignorance, busying herself with making some pancakes.
"come on Nessy, and you over there...make sure you bring some of those pancakes to my room when you're done", he added before walking out.
"always telling people what to do...you can't boss me around" , Caroline muttered under her breath. Rodney was however far gone to catch a word.
After making the pancakes, she ate her fill, set a side some fresh ones for Rigo and decided to give the leftover slightly burnt ones to Rodney. As she passed by trying to find Rodney, she came across Rigo' s slightly opened door. He was pulling on a shirt, his hair wet from a recent shower and his abs on full display.
Caroline gulped.
just then, their eyes met.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry...i-i didn't mean to stare", she immediately apologized.
Rigo smiled, "its absolutely fine Carol"
"I wanted to give you some of the pancakes I made", she whispered before handing the plate over.
Rodrigo smiled in thanks and Caroline proceeded to ask for Rodney's room.
"far left, last room"
Caroline knocked on the door and when noone answered, she silently slipped in. However, the sounds emanating from the room made her stop.
We're they....?
She deadpanned and turned around, aiming to leave as silently as she'd come in. Hand on the handle, she stiffened when the door creaked, a wail announcing someone's prescence.
Maybe Rodney was too busy to hear the door whine. Caroline took one last attempt to open the door only to get stopped by Rodney's voice.
Perhaps, he was referring to his partner. Slowly, she opened the door and took one careful step out, ready to take another one into freedom when she suddenly got pulled to a broad, hard and sweaty chest.
Her eyes widened instantly and she saw half of the pancakes fly into the room. Rodney had narrowed his eyes down at her and she scrunched up her little nose.
"What is that foul smell?", she asked. Rodney's mouth puckered in annoyance.
"Foul smell?", he asked as if he was deaf.
"yes", She cocked her head to the side "a very foul smell at that"
Rodney gave a fake smile.
"Oh yes I remember, it was the smell of the death of my arousal few minutes ago when a nosy person walked in whiles I was having sex"
Caroline quirked an eyebrow up in challenge
"Oh really?. Someone's arousal wouldn't have died if that someone hadn't been so domineering to demand for pancakes someone else had made. That person was only bringing pancakes"
Rodney gritted his teeth
"None of this would have happened if that person had knocked"
Caroline narrowed her eyes
"None of this would....have....happened if that person had been decent enough to close his door before having sex"
Rodney's hands balled into fist
"None of --", he was instantly cut off.
"And yes of that person hadn't decided to have sex right after he demanded for pancakes, this wouldn't have happened. He knew I would come up with the pancakes and yet he couldn't have the decency to wait for it before he dallied in his sexual preferences"
Rodney found himself unable to argue further as he stared at her. His eyes found the remaining pancakes on the plate instead.
"and why are these burnt?"
"It was intentional", she whispered boldly "I heard Rodney likes everything burnt....including his women" and set the plate right on the bed close to the naked women laying in it.
And then she walked out on him.
