Chapter 22 - Smashed

Tobin walked quietly to Sharon's room. He suddenly stopped at the door. He wasn't sure what he will say to sound nice but not too friendly. As he was about to knock on the door, it was opened. He came face to face with Sharon.

Sharon was shocked to see Tobin at her door. While in the room she felt someone was at her door that's why she opened the door. She was expecting to to see Mrs Williams.

Seeing Tobin made her angry.

"Why were you standing at my door for so long? " Are you a pervert? "

She asked rolling her eyes

Tobin was taken aback by her questions he didn't realized he had wasted so much time standing at her door.

"I am sorry" Tobin stammered

"I didn't know I was standing here for too long"

"I came to apologies for my earlier behavior. I was only joking around."

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes. Sharon knew there was need elongating the issue at hand.

"Its okay we are cool"she said smiling at him

She was disappointed when he didn't return her smile.

Tobin was determined to avoid her after his apology so he deliberately refused to smile back at her.

"Thank you I will be on my way then." He said flatly.

With that he walked away. He didn't want to get into a conversation with her he was in a hurry to prepare for his appointment with his dad.

Sharon thought it strange that Tobin was avoiding her. She couldn't understand why.

"We are better of that way. "She thought to her self.

Tobin went back to his room to prepare. It was the tradition of the family to be 20 minutes earlier if you are going out with Mr lancaster but Tobin being the youngest has always broken that rule. In few minutes he was done with his preparation without delay he went to his dad's study to inform him of his readiness

Mr lancaster was surprised. Tobin has never been early, everyone was pulling up unusual behaviors these days he reasoned.

I will be with you in few minutes Mr lancaster informed Tobin

Today was the day he was going to sign the bet between Mr Huffington and himself about who was going to get married to Sharon.

He thought about the bet and convinced himself he made the right bet.

'There is no way Sharon will pick one of the twin. One was a flirt and the other a nerd. No chance at all" he concluded in his heart.

"Mr Huffington, LA Masia De Casin will be mine" he said aloud.

He walked out of his study and discovered Tobin was on his head set just outside his door. He didn't even notice his father come out.

His father walked to him and removed the headset from his ears smashing it on the ground at the same time.

I have warned you about putting headset on your ears while in the house Mr lancaster said looking very irritated.

"I am sorry dad " Tobin replied coldly.

Tobin was upset. That was his favorite headset.

"That is what you always say but you will never change. "

Mr lancaster could see Tobin was angry and decided not to push the issue further.

"I want to see you outside immediately"Mr lancaster ordered walking away.

Tobin looked at his smashed headset with tears forming in his eyes. He looked to see if anyone witnessed the scene. . He was shocked to see Sharon standing close by.

She had come out of her room when she heard Mr lancaster raising his voice. She was surprised to see a smashed headset and a pissed off Tobin.

Tobin wondered how long she has been standing there.

"If I were you I will run downstairs instead of crying over a crashed headset."

I wasn't crying he replied quietly. He was furious . Sharon noticed a look she had never seen before on his eyes.

It was pure anger, he must really have loved his headset.

Tobin walked away dejected. He was angry for two reasons. One was his dad breaking his favorite headset and the other was because sharon saw him being scolded.

He prepared early today to avoid being scolded in front of her only to get something worse.

Today is not just my day and its a day before my birthday. I hope tomorrow will be better he said to himself as he walked away. He went downstairs to join his dad.
