Escape of Freedom [ female reader x Eiser Leinz Grayan ]

Ch21. Toying Around

I picked a brush and gently brush my hair while humming a song, trying to have a relaxing morning. 

My hair slowly getting untangle as I keep on brushing it over and over. 

I was so boring because there are nothing for me to do at home at all. I wish I had something to do right now. I get up from the chair and lay down on my bed, feeling as bored as ever. 

Suddenly, the door opened revealing one of the maid. She comes in, head down "I'm sorry to disturb your peaceful night but Sir Eiser is asking for you" I hummed, getting up from the bed and headed out along with the young maid. 

As soon as I arrived there, I can see him sitting down on the couch in the living room. He seems to be reading some kind of file while Raul is standing next to him, stiffly. 

"Why did you call for me?" I asked, looking at Eiser, hands crossed. 

"There's something that I need to discuss with you" he said, eyes on the thing he is reading since earlier. 

"What is it?" 

"You should sit down first," he said, still not taking his eyes off the paper. 

I sighed, rolling my eyes "I don't want to. Just tell me what do you need to talk to me?" I don't want to stay here for that long. I don't have a reason to stay. I stand on my guard, watching him sigh before he finally takes his eyes off the paper. Eiser looked me straight in the eyes "It's regarding your parents" he said, putting down the files in his hand. 

"What about them?"

"They are coming over"

"Why didn't they tell me first?"

"....I am not sure but your father called me earlier"

I gripped my fist before taking a deep breath "Whatever" I mumbled and turned around to leave. 

"You should be there as well when they are here"

"Why should I? They only ever contact you anyway" Am I acting like a kid? I don't like how they never inform me of anything when it actually involves me. It was as if I was not important to them. Did they don't trust me that much?

Suddenly, I saw Eiser coming closer to me. 

"Are you okay?" he asked, his hand coming closer before he stopped himself when it's just an inch away from me. "I am fine, don't worry" I put his awkwardly hanging hand down but then, he held my hand instead. My eyes widen at the action and I can feel myself getting shaken at the action. I feel him caressing my hand, looking too gently at me "Are you nervous to meet them?" I shake my head, pulling my hand away "Just feel a bit odd, you know" I take a seat, looking anywhere but him. 

"Don't you think they should tell me if they are coming over?" I sighed, looking down. 

"They always did this...acting as if I am not relevant to know when it is involving me"

"I don't understand why they did that but I am sure they don't think about you like that," Eiser said, sitting back down. 

"I hope you don't think badly about yourself because of that" I glanced at him and we immediately met eyes. 

Raul cleared his throat, breaking whatever it was between us "Sir, Mr and Mrs Serenity already waiting outside" he informed. 

"Raul, go and help them" Raul, bowed and headed outside. 

Eiser stood up and when I thought he was heading out as well, he turned to me before holding out his hand "Let's go" he uttered making my heart skip a beat. Feeling embarrassed, I grabbed his hand and soon he led me outside.
