After a while of passing through uncomfortable silence he finally snapped. Grabbing the tray from my hand almost knocking the plate out he said while glaring into my poor soul ," Get going " I immediately turned around forgetting the fact that steps were right before me . I slipped on the very first one grabbing the railing for my dear life and told my heart to relax; it was about pump out my chest.
I had the hope he would at least say something but all I heard was the harsh slamming of his door. I gave it a shrug shaking the frown off me and walking back to the kitchen.
By the time I was down, Tyler and Ace were the only ones in the table. I look around for Sofia but she had disappeared. "Sofia and Frank are at the back house. Fixing your lock. "I nodded walking towards the back door when I heard a women's voice. And I knew it wasn't Sofia due to the difference in the tones.
"Anyone home! Gosh why does the entire house smell like sugar doughnuts ! "She said walking in the kitchen. My eyes stuck to her beautiful face. She was beautiful. She had a perfect tanned skin and a perfect body. She smiled at the boys walking over to give Ace a kiss on his cheek and hugging Tyler. "Sup "she greeted.
"Olivia, when did you come back?" Tyler asked, "Just an hour ago. Didn't see Ace at his house and of course he had to be here. "She finally noticed me giving me a confused look." Don't tell me one of you guys got married and didn't tell me" Tyler laughed and Ace chuckled.
"This is Eve. A new edition to the little family. "Olivia smiled walking towards me." I didn't think Frank would adopt a child "My mouth almost hung open." Dude! She isn't a child. She was lost and had nowhere to go. Sofia thought she would help her around so yam...basically -" He just frowned thinking.
"Oh yam, they did adopt you "I chuckled looking away." I am not a child "I said. "You sure look like one dear. What's your age "I frown opening my mouth? But I was beat by Sofia. "Stop bullying her! She isn't a child "I bite my lip as soon as I saw Hunter walk down the stairs.
Suddenly Olivia jumped up as she saw him. "Hunter!" She squeaked hugging him. He hummed, just hummed hugging her back with one hand. I suddenly though she might be someone really close to him. Watching her kiss his cheek and hug him again. It sparked a jealous bubble inside me. I threw it away, but watching people hugging each other made me cry.
Because I hadn't got not one hug for as long as I remember. The only person who hugged me was my -
"Eve, It's nice to meet you "Olivia said making me smile." Olivia! "Even Frank was close to her. Now I started getting really mad. I am such a sucker for emotion .I really wanted a hug too.
Stop it Eve!
"The trouble maker is back huh. Should we all go to the lake for fishing? A little reunion "She beamed up nodding. When Blake and Charles came in they all sat talking while I just stood there. I felt like I was intruding their talks. I walked towards the garden brushing my hands over the vines. I look at the house and thought I should plant some vines around it as Sofia said. So I busy myself with gardening.
I couldn't tell the thoughts in my head and that feeling of dry throat. When I was done planting two vines near the steps of the hut tears start rolling in. I roll my eyes at my stupidity and walked inside straight in the bathroom. After taking a bath I walk out falling straight on the bed. And when the headache started rolling in I closed my eyes crying silently.
I had no answers as to why I was feeling so emotional. I blamed it on my coming period, but honestly I missed my mother. I missed my sister. Hell I missed the guard who always greeted us when we left the house. I missed my nanny, the maid who always yelled at me and tried to make me presentable.
I was starting to regret my decision and even thought of going back but I remember my father. I sucked in short breath and just cried, I always felt a lot better after crying, so I just let it out.
When I woke up it was five in the evening. I sigh walking to bathroom and refreshing. I remember Sofia had asked me to fill the baskets with tomatoes we harvested this morning. I had some coffee in my bedroom and head over to their house. When I walked in the house was quite. I remember they were going to lake.
They must have left long ago. So I grabbed a cookie eating it while walking to the storage and grabbing the basket of tomatoes. I somehow felt so much at peace after crying. I smiled at the comforting silence and began loading the tomatoes in the basket she wanted them in.
About fifteen minutes later I was done with that little work and walked out their house. I couldn't just sit in the kitchen and eat. So I grabbed some yummy snacks and walked to my little place .And when I walked in I realized I forgot to see the little paper on my table near the window. I had ignored it before because of my crying session.
When I grabbed it there was a wife pass written on it. I bite my lip smiling. Finally, I have people around who are nicer than my own family. I sigh sitting on my bed, taking my phone and eating the strawberries Sofia kept for me to have. Not five minutes in watching YouTube there was a knock on the door.
I stand up stuffing the strawberry in my mouth and opening the door to see Tyler. "Oh -Hey Tyler "I said my mouth still full. I put my hand on my hand chuckling. He smiled, "Hey, I hope you are done with your nap "I raised eyebrows.
"I am here to pick you up. We came hours ago to invite you but you didn't answer the door. Thought you fell asleep so we left early "I blink. He just stared; I bite my lip giving a chuckle," What? "I asked. His smiled and soft laugh made me happy, "We have to go to the lake? I am here to pick you up? You fell asleep so we thought one of us will come get you later "I was shocked.
They wanted me to join them?
"But - I don't want to intrude ", "You aren't intruding in anyway if that's what you think. No common we are having dinner outside today "I laugh soft nodding." Come to the gate of the house. I'll get something's first "I nodded. He looked at me and nodded. Before walking towards the house.
I smile wearing a random top and a jeans and brushing my hair real quick then putting some lipstick and running out the door .
I stop at the car parked at gate and looked at the house. I bite my lip waiting for him. He walked out the door locking it and smiled at me. "Did you lock your door Eve?" I nodded. He opened the door for and I thank him.
"Were you tired? In the afternoon?" I lick my lip. "Kind of. I was just sleepy "He nodded." Are you comfortable in that house?" I nod. "I am ". We had our small talks while the driving was pleasing. "This -" I look at him as he point at the right. "Is the Blue line lake. We usually go fishing here and just spend some time "I look out the window and watched the trees pass and clear the view of that beautiful lake.
"It's beautiful "I said. He hummed.
"You are beautiful"
She didn't hear it, but he was glad she didn't.
