NAVARRO SERIES 1:Caged By The Ruthless

CHAPTER 31

Soccoro Ricks

Days had been passed and we haven't talked. Surprisingly Exur still choses to stay despite our situation, despite that I literally ignored him as he does as well. We're acting like we both are stranger to each other. No verbal communication nor over the phone.

Because of that, it became logic in to my part, he wasn't naive worse blind for him not to process what I'm implying. I couldn't gather any hint in his decision in staying. It's not like that I'm complaining. There's no doubt that he's free to leave, no one's restraining him, the door is open.

If I'm a stupid person maybe I would consider that he's homeless lucky even from the slightest thing I'm not stupid.. but I'm qualified for being a bitch, mind you.

Going back, honestly it's me who's taking the whole effort to be distant from him and I couldn't understand myself why, as it should be him because we are on my territory for damn sake while him he's...........only my.......guest. VIP guest.

The time that he's around I'll lock myself to the library nor busied myself to nonsense things as long it was convincible as an excuse. Actually I was only grateful when he's in his office, though Rock is still there but I won't need to act anymore and Rock never acknowledge my existence which I'm feeling bless because talking to him was like talking to a grim reaper.

At night, our sleeping arrangements would be... I'll be the first one to go to bed and do my best to drift to sleep before he enters. And I'm getting off from bed as early as I can so he won't wake up seeing me sleeping beside him.

Just like now, he's still on his deep slumber so I'm getting ready to have morning run hoping that when I get home he already went to his office.

We're really giving ourselves a silent treatment.

I took a bath, wore my black leggings, red violent sport's bra and my white Nike rubber shoes perfect for running.

I went to the kitchen to get my bottled water but lost on my track when I saw Exur sitting on one of the stool sipping on his coffee. I looked like I saw a ghost as I didn't expect him to be awake at this time.

I would assume that he meant this like he planned to wake up early so that he can catch up on me moreover have a word. And for that I will question the lord, why now? Why now when I already learned to know where my place is?

Why not when I need it...... Why not when I sounded so desperate, acted like an assuming bitch.... while in reality I was no one...

Paying no heed I proceed to the refrigerator, never glanced him at all. Nevertheless I became careful with my movement so he won't need to compliment or give me a word.

" The sun haven't rise. ", He muttered, I stayed silent. I don't know how to reply neither he must want to have a little chat sadly I'm not into it right now.

" Soccoro let's talk... ", His baritone voice was audible. That voice used to sent me shivered in ecstasy unexpectedly now it gave nothing, it's working on me now.

With a not so loud sigh I pushed the frame with slight force not expecting it to leave a loud thud. I voluntary neared him still maintaining the gap though.

" Make it quick. ", I dryly said, sounding like I wasn't interested at all which is halfway true.

Exur was about to hold my hand that placed on the counter top but I don't know why I immediately withdrawn it and put it on my lower back. My movement was so sudden it's like a natural defense mechanism thinking  that in no time I'll get burn. I was triggered you could say that.
