Cailey's POV
I felt something rubbing my face.
At first I was hesitant on checking what it was, but then I remembered what happened. My eyes opened quickly.
There I saw Russell, leaning on top of me, his eyes staring at my bare face that seemed like observing. It was my first to see his face this close, those thick and long lashes, his eyebrows that anyone would want to have, his eyes like chestnut, those thin lips, that anyone would want to kiss.
Seems like everything in his face screams perfection.
No wonder why Rylee and all the other girls fell in love with this man.
My hand were close to caressing his face, but then I stopped in mid air, thinking that I must be going crazy for attempting to caress that face. I shook my head in disbelief, I can't believe what just happened.
I pulled myself away from him and got up,
"Y-You're awake! I-I need to go" I stammered. Pulling myself up.
Even if it was my fault for triggering his allergy, I still need to get out of this house. So I picked my bag and was about to get out when Russell called my name.
"Aren't you the cruel one?" He said, sounded like he's wounded.
I was stopped by what he said. I turned around only to see him facing his back on me. Scratching his neck like some kid, no he was actually acting like a kid.He turned to see her, and got up. He scratched his head and look up, pouting.
She wanted to laugh!
What was that? Don't tell me that he's throwing tantrums like a kid? She cant believe it! She took a step, and when she did, Russell sighed deeply. He stared at her, his eyes looked sad and desperate. What does he want?
"What do you want?!"
I might despise Russell but I still have my conscience! It was my fault so I can't help but to feel guilty for him. Especially that he's making me feel that too much.
Just for now, Cailey! Just for now and it is the last!
He sighed and got up. He walked towards his closet and picked his clothes. I was confused by what he's doing. ''I want to get change'' he said, as if he was able to read what was in my mind.
I let out and 'ohh' when he said that and cleared my throat. ''Okay then, I'll leave'' I said as I turned around and walked. But before I could even step out of the door, he said
''Can you cook for me?'' he asked.
I stopped from my tracks and thought about it.
For the last three years of being with him. He never once ate the food I prepared for him. He would just look at it, disdained. He would walk away and don't even give a damn on my efforts. And now, he wanted me to cook for him? I can't help but scorn.
You wanted to play this attentive like husband now Russell? Now that we are already divorced? Okay. I will go along with your tricks, but I will not let you win.
''Let our maids cook for you'' I said.
''I want your cooking'' he fight.
I heaved a sigh and nodded. Not wanting to argue with him anymore, I headed to the kitchen and cooked something for him. While I was busy doing something, I heard a doorbell. Sally then ran as I turned to look, I stopped from what I was doing and walked to see who was it.
My face fell upon seeing who it was.
''Miss Rylee'' Sally greeted.
Rylee looked at Sally, she roamed her eyes around the house, like she's searching for something...or someone.
''Where is Russell?'' She asked indifferently.
Sally then turned to see me. Which made my heart skip a beat. I felt suffocated. Why was she here? Has she been here while I was away? Well not that I care, now that Russell and I are done.
I straightened my self and walked to greet her.
''Rylee'' I called ''Russell is in his room, you can wait here. I'll call him--'' I said.
''Why are you here?'' she asked.
How weird it was when I wanted to ask her about that earlier, but turns out, she was the one asking me that. I wanted to laugh.
But then I still felt sorry for her though. I know that, if it weren't for me, they could have been the one living together. She would have been Russell's wife and not me. Thinking that, my heart mourned and it wanted to scream pain.
She stared at me, like she was waiting for me to answer her question. I was about to open my mouth to answer her but someone said something that caught our attention. Sally then move and said ''Mr. Russell, Ms. Rylee is here.'' she said.
She looked at me, her eyes like rooting for me. I smiled deep inside with her concern eyes. Sally was always there with me so I can't help but to thank her. She became my second friend as Mindy was.
I turned to look at Russell and then to Rylee. My eyes are looking back and forth between them.
''Come again Russell? what did you just say?'' Rylee scoffed.
I wasn't able to hear clearly what he said. So I was waiting fro Russell to speak again. My heart was beating so fast.
''She's here because she's my wife.'' Russell said then looked at me.
He wasn't smiling nor showing any emotions on his face. He just walked like he owned the world. He went beside me and looked at Rylee. His eyes changed that made my heart ached.
He still loves Rylee.
I knew it! Why was he even acting like this? I scoffed secretly. A minute earlier he was acting like he wanted me back, but then this.
I can't stand this! I turned around wanting to go back to the kitchen when Russell pulled me back. I was caught off guard and accidentally leaned on him.
"R-Russell? What's going on?! I thought you and her already got divorced?!" Rylee asked, clearly anxious.
"Get out" Russell said coldly.
Rylee looked dumbfounded. She stared at Russell. Her lips parted.
I was confused of what was going on. Russell loves Rylee so why was he doing this?
Rylee stomped on her feet and turned to walk. But it wasn't able to hide the tears in her eyes.
Somehow, I felt sorry for her.
It was obviously me who stepped between their love. It was me who stole Russell from her. It was me who ruined them.
Before I realized it, my eyes began shedding tears.
'I shouldn't have interfered with them'
****
Third Person's POGWhen Rylee left.
Russell turned to see Cailey who was now crying, her eyes looking where Rylee had left. Her eyes full of sadness and regrets.
He don't know why was Cailey crying so he don't know what to say and do. Instead he stared at her, his heart melt at the scene playing in front of him.
"C-Cailey? W-What's wrong?" He asked.
He held Cailey's shoulder for her to face him. He could see pain in her eyes that causes his heart pump like crazy. He was not sure why he felt like he wanted to comfort her, hug her, anything just to stop her from crying.
But Cailey removed his hands, stared at him coldly.
He felt scared. He cursed in his mind. It wasn't hard to realize that fear was arousing in his heart. He doesn't like that look in her face. His heart feels like suffocating.
When her mouth opened. He wanted to punch his face, his eyes went cold. But he was just trying to calm himself not to curse and destroy everything he sees.
"Follow her" Cailey said and left him.
Fuck!
