Chapter 17 - Comfort

Misha's POV

"I'm finally back", I said as I got out of the car, took a deep breath and stared at the house for a little while before going in. I saw our maids and the butler lined up, waiting for me.

"Good afternoon everyone!", I cheerfully greeted.

"Welcome back miss", all of them said and smiled back at me. I noticed that Lara was missing.

"Uhmmmm, may I ask where Lara is?", I asked Mr. Trevor.

"You will see her in a while, don't worry", he said. I gave him a look of suspicion and he just chuckled.

"My lady, she may have other errands to do, so I will just tell her that you were looking for her", he said reassuring me.

"Hmmm. Alright. I'll just go to my room then.", I informed.

"Sure. By the way, your mother called, she said she's sorry that she weren't able to welcome you home, she had an emergency at work and she told me to tell you that she will be back home at dinner time." He informed and gave me my keys.

"Hmmm. It's okay. I will see her later then", I said and went on my way to my bedroom. I felt sad that my mom wasn't here right now. I know I am still going to see her later but still, I want her to welcome me with a warm hug.

When I opened the door, it was very dark. When I turned the lights on, my heart sank. I felt lonely, knowing that I am the only one here in a huge house but no one to converse with. I just settled in and went to my bed to rest. I was checking my social media accounts to pass time and stopped when someone was calling me.

"Hello, Lara? Why are you calling me? And where are you?. Why didn't you show your face when I came back? Hmmmm?!", I asked and was taken aback unto why I was a little bit upset. I don't know her that much. Being lonely is scary. Eeessshh. She didn't say a word, so I felt guilty.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see you, that's all. Will you please say something?", I pleaded.

"I'm sorry as well, I was just so busy preparing for your arrival. Please go to the library.", she said and hung up the phone.

"She didn't even wait for my reply", I said to no one on the phone and chuckled. I'm quite excited to see what she prepared for me in the library so I was smiling the whole time when I was on my way to the library. When I arrived and the door was opened, I smelled something deliciously sweet. I let my nose lead me to where these goodies are located. I saw Lara giving few touches to her masterpiece. When she saw me coming, her eyes were filled with delight, and I guess mine were like that as well. When I saw what she prepared, I was drooling, it was something that I have always dreamt of since I was a kid. A hell lot of delicious donuts, that I just can't resist. Mom wouldn't let me eat too much of it as she said that I would regret it later.

"Wow! Thank you so much for these deliciously looking treats!", I told and hugged her out of my excitement from getting to eat all of these donuts. It was arranged pretty well, first ones where the cream filled doughnuts, the next layer were glazed doughnuts, then the last layer were assorted doughnut bites. Uuuurgh! I can't  wait!!! I was about to get some but she stopped me.

"Whyyy???", I whined.

"You can't eat them unless you have finished having dinner with your mother" she said with her hands on her waist. I rolled my eyes thinking that she's acting just like my mother. I don't want to see this side of her and I badly want to eat those donuts. I need to do something. She turned her back on me to prepare tea.

"Lara, why didn't you visit me at the hospital?", I said and hugged her from behind with my chin resting on her shoulder. She froze, startled from my recent action.

"I uhmm. I just.", she sighed, and took a deep breath before facing me.

"I just couldn't bare seeing you in that state", she said looking at me with those worried eyes. I didn't know that she cared for me that much. I know that I wanted to see her then, but now I understand why she didn't. I held her face and smiled.

"I forgive you", I said and kissed her on her cheek. She froze and I saw her blush hard. She was so cute. Then it hit me.

'Oooh! This is my chance!', I said to myself. I grabbed as many doughnuts as I can and tiptoed my way out the library. I looked back and she was still in daze from what I did. I felt guilty for leaving her like that but I have to go and eat my treats before my mom comes back. I reached my room without any problems and started munching on my doughnuts. God they were delicious! I finished them in no time. I laid on the bed thereafter, and a few minutes later, I heard my mom's voice from outside the door.

*burp* "Ugh! I am so full", I tried to roll myself to the side of the bed and did my best to properly sit. I took a deep breath and as the door opened, I stood and greeted my mom.

"Mom! You were so late!", I said and went for a hug.

"I'm sorry sweetie, I brought your favorite food to make it up to you", she said and excitedly pulled me towards the stairs going to the dining room.

"Tada!", she said and I saw Chinese food on the table. I would've been very excited right now but I am just sooo full.
