Chapter 14
"Ugh! Andre! "I yelped, painfully. "Are you crazy? I never asked you to let go of me "I drawled in anguish.
"Really? Have you forgotten your statement so soon? You said you didn't need my help so l did what you asked "he said and chuckled, before walking out.
"Argh! I hate you, Andre "I yelled in anger. He didn't even spare me a glance before exiting the bathroom.
Seems like burning his car wasn't enough. Very soon, l'll set his house ablaze.
What was l even thinking when l burnt his car? Andre's so f*cking rich that burning this house wouldn't have an effect on him but me. I'll be homeless and he'll probably lodge a hotel, leaving me on the streets.
Humph!
I managed to stand up on my feet and rubbed my hurting butts. What a moron l married! I proceeded to the bathroom and walked back to the bathroom.
I took a cold bath and changed into my pajamas. My stomach rumbled and l pouted.
I'm so hungry but Magda's not around now. But thank goodness she gave me few lectures on how to prepare some meals.
So I need prepare dinner for myself.
****
"Mm. This food smells so delectable "Andre commended as a smile plastered on his face.
"Magda? "He called as he walked into the kitchen.
"Magda is not here "I answered, crossing my arms and he furrowed his brows.
"If Magda isn't here, who prepared dinner? "He queried and the corner of my lips turned up.
"I did "I said and grinned, smugly. "Wanna see? "
"You did? "He scoffed. "That say it all. It stinks and will definitely look as disgusting as you are "he sneered and I just gazed at him.
He stared at me as I dished out the Truffled mac and cheese in a bowl. I looked at him and scoffed.
"So much ego "I muttered. "Let's see how you will manage without getting having dinner"I said and walked over to the counter.
"I'm not hungry, okay? "He snapped and his stomach grumbled and he walked out, hurriedly.
"Yeah, l bet you are not! "I yelled and laughed, loudly.
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I yawned and stretched my body on the bed. I turned to the other side and found it empty. I sat up.
I turned on the lamp and climbed down from the bed. I checked the bathroom and found it empty. I decided to go downstairs.
"No, why do l even care about what he's busy with? He's probably sleeping his head off in some other room. I'm going back to bed "
I laid down on the bed and snapped my eyes open after some moments. What if he's speaking to some girl? No, l'm gonna check up on him.
As I climbed down the stairs, I could hear the sounds of cutleries. It all occured to me and l tried so hard to suppress the laughter building up.
So he went behind my back to eat the leftover. Well, it's a good thing to decided to check up on him, now l will catch him red handed "
I tiptoed towards the kitchen and luckily, his back was facing me. He was having a cup of water now.
"What do you think you are doing, Andre? "I exclaimed and he choked and started coughing. I laughed.
Andre's POV
Holy moly! How did Ava get to know that I wasn't in the bedroom but here .. and worse still, she caught me eating her delicacy.
Now, she will get the impression that l like her food or something. No doubts, I do but I don't want her to know about it.
And now that she knows, she will use it against me. As an alternative to tease me every day.
"I wasn't doing anything "I rushed my words and she chuckled, taking a step closer.
"Lie doesn't suit you, Andre. Well, I can see you are eating from what l prepared for dinner. Seems like you love it "she smirked and crossed her arms, gazing at me.
"Who said that? I came to get a glass of water which l'm drinking as you can see. Nothing else. You are just overthinking this, your meal is disgusting. I couldn't even stand it's sight let alone having a taste of it "I rasped and she nodded, slowly.
"But you ate from it, didn't you? You said you couldn't stand the sight so why is a bowl of Truffled mac and cheese in front of you? "She asked and I racked my brain for what next to say.
"What, huh? Cat got your tongue? "She smirked and l ran out, immediately.
"Jeez! Why did l have to get caught in the act? "I stressed, lowly and walked away, headed for the bedroom. I went under the duvet and slept off after some moments.
Ava's POV
He's so dramatic. He never accept his mistakes but when it comes to my turn, it's an entirely different case.
I advanced towards the cabinet and took the bowl he was eating from. I cleared up the place and chuckled before walking out.
I switched off the lights. I got to the room to find him already sleeping and l laid beside him.
NEXT MORNING
I sat at dining table, munching on the omelette I prepared when Andre walked in, all dressed up.
He sat down and looked around, probably looking for his maid girl.
"Where are you going all dressed up like that? "I chipped in, curiously and he scoffed.
"Are you that blind? Obviously, l'm going to work. We need money for the two months we'll be staying here "I responded with sarcasm and I rolled my eyes.
"We do not need money. We have everything already "I retorted and he sneered.
"Who told you that? Foodstuffs can get finished any time from now and I can't stand you anymore so that's more reason l'm leaving "he sneered and l stood up.
"Let me get you something to eat before you leave "
"No way! You must have added a love portion, who knows? Besides, you are up to no good. Well, l'm off "he snapped and stood up.
"Alright. Suit yourself "
