Chereads / Trapped in her love / Chapter 26 - Mrs Bruce

Chapter 26 - Mrs Bruce

Calvin woke up in the middle of the night to find the little lady shivering slightly in the sofa she stubbornly insisted to stay. She was obviously cold and she didn't cover herself. He felt like carrying her to the bed but he knows that she might be angry when she wakes up. She wasn't even using a pillow and she didn't look comfortable.

He took one pillow from the bed and the blanket he was using and walked over to her. He raised her head gently and placed it on the pillow carefully so he won't wake her up. He then spread the blanket over her, making sure it covers all part of her body except her face. He tucked her hair behind her ear so he could see her face better and just stood there looking at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful and cute that he felt like pinching her cheek.

He stood there watching her and smiling for a while, cherishing the moment, he felt that they staying together was an opportunity for him to get close to her and he was going to make good use of it.

She stirred suddenly and he quickly ran to the bed so she will not freak out when she sees him staring at her in case she wakes up. Luckily for him, she didn't wake. He just laid down quickly on the bed before he does something stupid. Shortly after, he fell asleep.

Allison woke up earlier than Calvin the next morning. She was surprised to see herself wrapped in the blanket he is supposed to be using. He even gave her a pillow. He had asked her to be his friend the previous day, does he mean it? She just shrugged it off, it's too early to start thinking of confusing things.

"Good morning sleepy head." She heard Calvin's voice.

"I should be saying that, I woke up before you."

"It doesn't matter, you still look sleepy." he said with a smile

Allison found his smile charming but she still decided to ignore him. She picked her tooth brush and went into the bathroom. She came out shortly after to collect her towel before going back in. Calvin assumed she wanted to take her bath.

Allison has already finished bathing when she realized that she forgot her clothes in the room and her towel was way too short to cover her bottom. If she takes it down, it will leave her breasts exposed, if she tries to cover her breasts, her thighs and butt will be exposed. Now what!

Allison opened the door slowly hoping that Calvin would be too busy to notice her or better still, not be in the room, but to her disappointment, as soon as she stepped out, their eyes met and she quickly ran inside. Calvin couldn't help but laugh at her shy attitude.

"Why so shy? Not like I haven't seen it before." he said adding to her mortification. "Come out Allison, your body is beautiful..... Every part" He said with a lot of emphasis on his last two words.

"Will you just stop talking? You are not helping." He heard Allison's voice from inside the bathroom.

"I'm just stating the obvious pretty." he teased. Allison stayed there for a while longer before Calvin spoke again. "If you don't come out this instant, I will come and get you."

Allison immediately ran out when she heard that, her face all flushed.

Calvin couldn't help his gaze that travelled through the length of her body. Her red face, exposed breasts, sumptuous thighs. That ass! He couldn't wait for the next time he will get his hands on it. He's definitely going to spank it for keeping him waiting.

"Stop staring at me you pervert." She said and quickly ran into the closet, shuffling through her clothes to find something to wear.

"That's what happens when you are incredibly sexy, I can't help myself."

Allison turned around and glared and him only to have him laugh at her reaction. She quickly took her clothes and ran back into the bathroom.

She came out shortly after, dressed in a bum short and a baggy yellow T-shirt and her hair neatly packed in a low ponytail.

"You look good but I prefer you with the towel on." She heard him say again and her face burned.

"Stop teasing me."

"But I like it."

"Why."

"Because you look cute when teased."

Allison face palmed. This guy was something else.

"I think you are just bored." She retorted.

"How can I be bored when I have you here?"

She wanted to say something when a knock interrupted their banter. Calvin groaned in displeasure. Why did they choose this time to interrupt? It wasn't everyday that he gets the chance to exchange words with her. She was still hostile but at least she was ready to argue with him. He thought it was a good thing.

"I will get that." Calvin said standing up, he walked to the door. He opened it and came face to face with someone that made his mood drop. Allison noticed it and could only wonder who it was at the other side.

"Calvin dear." She heard a woman's voice call him.

"Mrs Bruce." He said in a very hostile tone.

Mrs Bruce? That was his mother. What is wrong with this guy?

"It's 'mom' Calvin." She heard the woman say again. The voice sounded weak this time and she felt pity for her.

"What do you want?" Calvin asked harshly.

"Can't I see my son again?"

"I was busy before you came here so tell me what you are here for." he said in a calm impatient tone.

"We're about to have breakfast "

"Isn't it too early? And why do you have to come? We have workers you know."

"Grandma was so excited to see everyone again and I wanted to see my son."

"Now you have seen me, you may leave. We will be down when we're ready." he said and slammed the door in her face.

Allison stood up angrily and went to meet him.

"Why would you talk to your mother like that?" She asked. She felt irritated.

"You look cute when angry." He teased.

"Calvin I'm serious "

"I'm serious too. Look at the mirror, you are so cute." He tapped her nose playfully and she slapped his hand off.

"Calvin I need you to apologize to your mother."

"Now, you are assuming the role of my wife. It suits you."

"What the fuck!"

"Stop being so mean Allison, you are hurting my feelings."

"What is wrong with you? You shouldn't joke over everything, your mother is very hurt right now. How could you speak to her like that? It's not fair." Her voice cracked a little as she spoke. Calvin saw that she was on the brink of tears and he became serious at once. He understands that she is angry, he even expects her to be, but why does she looks so sad?

"I didn't mean it like that Allison." He said and moved to hug her but she moved away.

"Don't touch me. I have always hated you Calvin but I don't know how to describe what I feel for you right now. You are lucky you have a mother."

Calvin was still trying to approach her but stopped on his tracks when she said she hated him. He couldn't control the suffocating feeling that was in his chest at that moment. What made it worse was the look in her eyes, it showed her that she was not lying. She really hated him.

"Wait for me, I need to take my bath, then we go down together." He said, looking at her, his voice sounded pained. She could also see the pain in his face and she averted her gaze. She shouldn't feel pity for him. She would do anything to see her mother again, and here he was treating his own like trash.

Calvin came out of the bathroom moments later completely dressed and walked straight to her.

"Let's go." he said, but she just stood up and went ahead of him. He guessed that she won't be talking for a while. He does not blame her though, anybody that saw his exchange with his mother will hate him also. And he really deserved to be hated by her. Since he came into her life, she has always been sad. She was sad and lonely but he was too selfish to let her go. His heart ached anytime he recalled what she said moments ago. He didn't except her to reciprocate his feelings for him but she saying she hates him came as a blow.

He was suddenly jolted out of his thoughts when he heard her bang the door and he ran after her.

He pulled her by the hand to stop her even though she was glaring daggers at him.

"Allison please, stop the attitude." He begged. "For grandma's sake."

"Don't worry Mr Bruce, unlike you I have a heart." She said and slapped his hand off her and proceeded to descend the stairs with him trailing after her.
