Chapter 5 - The long wait

UNEDITED

Monterey's POV

I woke up early feeling exulted after a long quite and peaceful evening, far from any miserable thoughts. I stretched my hands in the air, knowing it was Saturday I had absolutely no plans at all.

I sat up from my bed and swung my feet to the floor. Standing up, I approached the window and drew the curtains and open it flawlessly to let the sunlight filled the room with its lambent light. I didn't mind to look for a mirror to check my appearance, Link and I were the only person lived here, so I don't care how messy my hair looks.

Hurriedly I went to the kitchen to cook food, since its my duty today for household chores. We both had a different assignment. I will be the one to cook and cleaned up the whole house except for the outside , He's definitely the one will cleaned for it to make it comely in the eyes of everyone.

Our neighbor's always teasing us how wonderful couple we were, they want us to be a real couple however that is not what we are, because we treat each other like brothers and sisters that's it period, no malicious.

Link is the son of Zack's friend in London. Link had turned twenty eight two weeks ago. He is so close to our family and we thought of him as part of the family.

Just as I came back here in New York Zack called me that Link will gonna stay at my place for a while. And that day also Zanna my housemate move out.

After a long hour of cooking, sweeping and eradicating the dirt. I took a rest in the couch and in a moment Link join in. He sat opposite from me. "Hey, are you done?" I asked with out looking at his direction. I was busy on flipping the pages of a magazine. "Not yet but I'm almost there already and I'm hungry, can we?," he replied weakly. He looks exhausted the way I look at him when he walked to the dining table. "Yes of course, same to you," I murmured and followed him. We ate breakfast silently.

No one of us speak, until my phone rang. I ignored it and continued eating. "Rey you should answer the phone, it must be important because it rang a hundred times already," Link broke in while eating the food deliciously . Dasnee and Link were the only called me Rey. I sighed," fine." I stand up and went to the couch and grabbed my phone and in an instant I answered it, " Yes, hello who's this please?" I asked pleasantly. "What the hell are you Ms. Williams its been a hundred of times I dialled your number and yet you never answered any of it, You already get the hell out of me!" My heart leaped out with so much anger, after hearing those unpleasant statement, It takes a while before I recognized Horace voice. I clenched my fist in anger and exhaled as I closed my eyes then soothed myself to released my anger.

"Really? Wow is that the way you speak to someone who's number of yours wasn't in her phone book list." I replied quietly through clenched teeth. I made a glance to Link , to look at if his eavesdropping on me. "Thanks his not," I exhaled in relief, "its better this way, I'll keep it for myself," I whispered in the air. "What?" He asked sarcastically.

"These conversation wont go anywhere if we both continued throwing nonsense words." I pursed my lips, "so what do you want from me?" I question him politely. I heard him let out a sighed before he began to speak. "Monterey lets get this over with."

My forehead knot in a complete bewilderment, "what do you mean?" I asked. "Lets meet, we need to talk personally in private way, you heard me do you." He answered quietly, and added, "I'll pick you up now."
" No your not!" the words slip out from my mouth without break. "And why not?" He asked in deep puzzlement.

My voice tense a little bit, "You should not come here alright. This was all secret between the two of us and a friend of mine is here." I paused for a while and continued, "he don't know anything about these stupid marriage of yours." I made a profound sighed, "please."
