His Spur-of-the-moment Decision

Chapter Seven

(Theresa's POV)

It's been what?
Three weeks. Yes, three freaking weeks after we had that fight. I mean he just blew up because I told him who he truly was? To be frank I feel kinda guilty,maybe he does it for a reason. Kinda.

He's buried himself in work and I hardly see him. I just saw him twice! Twice in three weeks!
I work perfectly from home, sorry his 'castle'. Even if he truly did triple my salary, I miss him.

You heard me, I miss him. I want to apologize but he's nowhere to be seen. Once was when he just walked out the door and the other was when he left the kitchen. He's mad at me, I know. I shouldn't have said all those words. I just.. I'm scared.

I've been scared my whole life and I'm still scared. I'm scared I ruin everything I come in contact with, I make those who I'm close with hate me. Julius, Casper, Camille, Jeremy, and now Mevrick. Camille and Jeremy no longer pick up my calls. And I can't go over to the office because I'm afraid I won't be accepted.

The other day when I went to the office and saw his mother, I actually went there to explain things to Camille and Jeremy but they told me that they're an item and then ignored me. It was like I was invisible. I felt crushed so I went to meet him then I saw his mom and it was the perfect distraction.

"Theresa?" I heard Alfred call

"Yes? Come in."
He opened the door and stepped in.

"Master Mevrick said to inform you that you'll both be attending a fundraising ball next week."

"Oh where is he?" I asked

"In his study and will not like to be distributed."

"Oh okay. Thank you." He nodded and left. There's no way I'll just sit here knowing he's in the house.

I stood up and went to his wing and down to the study.

I knocked but there was no answer so I decided to go in. He looked at me and then back to his laptop.

"I don't remember calling you." His voice was cold

"I know, I just..."

"Then get out."

After shutting the door,I rested on it. I only wanted to apologize. I need to apologize but how? I mean why would he listen to me? Like tell me, who in the world gets scared because of a nightmare and push people away?
Me.
Who in the world judge others because of what they do?
Me.
I messed up, I srewed up. I know I shouldn't have said all those stuffs but I was too scared that in no time he'll just dump me but who Am I kidding? I don't even know him. Why am I scared of him tossing me aside?. I left his wing.

It will be better if I left him alone but that doesn't mean I won't apologize. I will, I have to and I'll grab whatever opportunity I get and use it.

The week was slow, too slow but the day of the fundraising came. I'm dressed in a silver gown which had blue embroidery, and was dressed by tons of professionals. I know Mevrick's behind it, he thinks I can't dress up but I'm glad he did it because I don't know what to wear, how to dress or what makeup to wear for such an occasion. I know I'm supposed to be nervous but I'm not. I'm more concerned about apologizing to him. Will he listen? He has too, right? Gosh! I'm shaking.

I composed myself and went downstairs. He was already waiting and I felt my heart race. I don't know if it's because I miss him or because he looks gorgeous or because of the apology I'm planning for. It has to be the latter.

"Can't you keep up with time?" Was the first thing he said to me

"Good evening to you too." Keep it together Theresa if you want him to forgive you, you have to be at least polite.
"I'm sorry." I apologized
