Something Different

Chapter 13: His return.

Maylin's POV:

Ever since that incident with Arnold, I felt like I wanted to run away. I just didn't like the feeling I get after touching that spot Arnold once kissed.

I feel like shuddering , I dont know just tingly and when those images resurface themselves . I blush so bad then after remembering how I let myself go i just end up hurt. Is it so bad to just wish a guy to respect you without wanting something more.

I feel used and the worst part is I let him. It's not like we had sex, but just knowing he got to touch and kiss what I've covered up from most men. Just makes me shudder.

But over the weeks I tried so hard to keep my mind pre occupied . It's not like alot of time passed , no just 2 weeks after that incident and saying I've been avoiding him wherever I go is an understatement. Even if he's there while I take care of Babu at the hospital since we said we go to the real hospital once a week to get a refills for his meds.

And sadly Arnold is supposed to go too. I've never even had eye contact with him and i like it like that.

He also doesn't seem apologetic but why should he care? He's the guy right. In all stories i dont know movies , I don't know clìche romance books. The guy will never see that he did anything wrong. Assholes if you ask me.

In our second meeting at the hospital which is the only place we will ever meet. I actually felt his eyes on me, maybe it was because I wore a light shortish dress which clung on my body showing off my curves and ass in all the good figure.

Which is obvious he saw it too revealing but why should I care. There was this hot guy who was talking to me but in the middle after looking at my back he said he was busy then left. I wondered why till I followed his point of direction and found Arnold watching me with an intense gaze. He must of scared him off. I rolled my eyes at him and stood up and left.

He can't control me , he can't control my life. But after that meeting we didn't meet again. Though the whole way Babu seemed sad , I guess he noticed our condition but he should know, he's grandson is an asshole so not my problem.

Monday came again, and my normal routine started again but after my session I got an unexpected call.

My ex wants to meet me, I was thinking of saying no. But if he doesn't want to understand on a call its better to tell him face to face, right?

So I agreed to meet him, and he totally chose an expensive place. I thought he couldn't afford 100USD more for his 'toe operation' such a useless excuse for money.

I'm at the place, it's those types of 5 star restaurants with reservations and shitty small meals that you can never see yourself satisfied.

I gave the receptionist a smile and then she smiled back and said,

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"Umm.. I'm here with a friend."

"Okay miss, what's your name?"

"What?"

"We have to see if your name is in the guest list." I nodded and said,

"Sure.. I'm Maylin Richard." She took this large book to check the guest list then looked up to me and said,

"Well this way Miss Richard, Mr Smith is waiting for you." I nodded and she led the way. On the way I was checking out the place and it  had a very fancy design. But it looks like a place for highly respected people,like those top billionaires and the ones who got alot of money.

I know I act like I don't have money while yes I do, but you know sometimes it's fun just enjoying the simple life. Money can't buy happiness.

I was directed to this two people table and my ex sitting there looking out of the window. The setting was romantic for couples only. With the sunset gaze from the window to the beautiful rose in the middle of the table design. To the red curtains to give people privacy if they wanted to do something more. And the way Its far away from the other tables makes it stand out. And i just feel watched.
