Aloof Detective's Lover ABS#5

Chapter 12

Lisa's POV

The moment I fell on his chest because of my imbalance, the moment broke. He parted me from himself so suddenly that it felt as if I have some kind of germs and he will be infected because of it.

There are times when your mind processes things a bit slow and you are expressionless for sometime, right? Even if there is mountain of all sort of painful emotions and you still cannot depict how to express yourself... This was that kind of moment for me. It felt as if he took me for chilly plane of ride and threw me without a parachute.

"Sorry, I just love eating cream." After he said so he cleared his throat.

"I came here to inform you that I have ordered for your phone. I have savedy number in it. And I am going out today." I looked at him in confusion as he forwarded the phone towards me.

"Why?" I asked slowly as I took the phone in my hand.

"Because it's my birthday and I want to enjoy it?" He said in 'duh' tone.

"But... I am baking cake for you. I thought we will celebrate it together." I said while gesturing towards the mess I made of the kitchen.

"Thanks... I guess we can cut the cake together then I can go." I scoffed at him.

"Thanks... But there is no need for your favour. I think I can manage to finish the cake alone." I said and turned towards the counter. I might start crying if he stays here any longer.

"Lisa... You don't have to act like a baby. I think you are getting bored here. Untill your family comes to take you, I should search for a nurse." Je said and this idiot! Why he doesn't understand that I need to spend time with him and not any nurse?!

But, now I will not make him understand that. If he wants to hire a nurse for me then that is totally his wish.

"Fine, you can hire a nurse." I said calmly and started cleaning kitchen. When I heard the ding of the oven, I went there and took the cake out of the oven. I decorated the cake being still hopeful that he might stop for celebrating his birthday.

I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't realize when he left the kitchen l, whether he said anything or not. I just heard the main door closing loudly.

Bastard! I should be angry on him not the other way round! I pushed the decorated cake aside and left from the kitchen.

Why he has to do that? One minute he gives me hope and the very next minute he jerks me aside. I kept on thinking about everything while lying on the bed.

"Lisa..."

"Mom! Don't you start, look what Liam has done. He broke my doll... It was my favourite." I cried while getting angry at my stupid brother.

"I know darling. But you were very angry on him on his birthday. He was very excited to celebrate with us." She said while politely smiling at me.

"But he was wrong." I said as I looked at my doll's broken head. I made her beautiful hair and now this doll is gone.

"Yes, but for that we could have been angry on him tomorrow. My baby birthdays are very special for everyone. Now how would you feel if someone shouts at you on your birthday?" She asked me as she hugged me sideways.

"Very bad." I pouted already regretting that I spoiled Liam's birthday.

"So, promise me... Never ruin anyone's birthday. Okay?" She asked and I smiled at her.

"Promise!" I shrieked in excitement.

And then I woke up from my sleep.

What was I doing? I was about to break my promise!

I fought with Vince on his birthday.

I looked at the clock and thankfully it's not midnight yet. I hastily took my brand new phone and messaged him.

'I am sorry. Can you come for cake cutting? Then you can go and celebrate.' I typed slowly as I am not used to this typing.

And after being satisfied with my words I clicked on send button.

I should not have let my anger get the best of me!

Atleast not today. But tomorrow we could have talked. And he is not wrong, for years he might be celebrating his birthday with his friends and suddenly I can't expect him to celebrate it with me instead.

Lisa... You cannot change his life in this way. Remember that, if you do something like this he may start to feel like he is caged. And you know how it feels to be caged.

I heard my phone beep after few seconds halting my thought process.

'I am in the living room. Sitting with the cake.'

I read his message twice and that made a slow smile creep on my face. I hastily ran out of the room. Happiness might have been radiating from my eyes.

"When did you come back?" I asked him as I sat beside him on the couch.

"I didn't go anywhere." He muttered but I heard clearly.

"What? You didn't go?" I asked him in confusion.

"Yes... Umm... My car... Broke." He explained. And that's the weird way of explaining.

"Broke?" I repeated with questioning form.

"Yes... I called the mechanic. It's fine now." I nodded while shrugging my shoulders.

"Let's cut the cake!" I smiled brightly at him and he just smiled lightly while nodding.

"I am sorry too." He said.

"Why?" I asked him as I looked at his serious expression. Now that I think of it he does not know how to express himself. He always has this serious kind of expression making it difficult for people to read him.

And aloof that he is, he thinks that there no need for people to know him.

"Because you were so excited for this and I spoiled it for you." He said and without even him cutting the cake, I took the cake with my hand and coloured his face.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I said while laughing and ran from there and after processing everything he ran for revenge!
