Chapter- 13 Care or Love?

Lavina's POV:

Next day,

I hissed as I dropped my coffee on my hand, it stings. Mr. Silas asked concerned, "Miss. Morris, Are you ok?"

They got coffee for everyone at the office, and my stupid self burnt herself with it, I am so careless.

He apologized being visibly scared, That they will come to hunt if it's his fault. I know people are scared of my back ground.

I said moving back, "I am fine... it's my fault anyways...." it stings so bad, the coffee was burning hot.

I heard the lady, "Let me treat that hand... please sit...." I whispered, "I will do it... It's nothing..."

I walked away from them, walking to my cabin. I heard whisper, "I hope Master Morris won't get angry on us... or Mr Zavier Fiore...." Some of them seemed so worried for themselves.

Like this arrogant daughter of mafia, will hunt them down for a simple burn.

I walked in my cabin, sitting on the chair, I immediately closed my eyes as the pain made my hand shake. I know it not that serious, but it hurts. I am not use to pain, at least not use to physical pain.

I realized my eyes tears up in this. I pulled the napkin in hurry wiping the residue of coffee over my hand. I hissed as my skin was in pain. I hope it's not that serious.

I heard the door open, I noticed Zavier. I pulled my hand under the table trying to pretend like nothing happen.

I whispered looking at him, "You need something, Mr. Fiore?" I fixed my hair with the other hand out of habit.

He stood at the door looking at me with narrow eyes, I whispered, "Is there a problem?"

He closed the door as made his way to me, walked closer to me soon beside my Chair, I looked down trying to be busy yet hiding my injured hand.

I felt his finger under my chin, he raised it to face him or was he looking in my eyes?

He sighed, he whispered, "Red eyes..... and pouty lips..... Wonder if I seen them somewhere?" I felt my heart skipping a beat.

15 min later,

I kept my eyes on him as he applied some burn cream on my hand, he cleaned my hand for me. Then this?

I tried kept my eyes off him as he did all of that first aid wondering why would he do it?

Isn't it better to just ignore each other?

He said, "It's not that bad, just take care of it, Lavina...." I nod. He kept applying the cream as light as he could, I can't process why is he doing this?

Zavier's POV:

I noticed how hard she was trying to look away from me, it seriously made me proud that she hasn't forgotten me.

Like this broken relation has a faith after all.

No... It had ended long ago, what good will come across if she is not willing. Truth is I still feel like I am standing at the same spot while she holds her distance.

She whispered, "You didn't need to do this..."

I need to care for you, or how would I survive?

What else I ever had in this life other than you? Now that you aim to be a stranger for me, I have nothing left. It's all aimless... days and night are the same to me.

I had her hand in mine, easing her burn injury, it did gave me glimpse of what I desire.

I answered, "Am I that heartless to you that I would not care about your injury?"

Is it the image I hold in your eyes, Lavina?

She scoffed, she whispered, "You used to enjoy shredding my pride and existence to ground, am I right?... How could someone change?"

My control over myself slipped, I am forgetting I have already lost everything, it's makes no sense to care for her, feel her pain, when she doesn't have any trust in me.

I left her hand getting up, I looked at her as disappointment engulfed me, her eyes met mine.

I thought you understood me, you loved me. You believed I would be a man who will disrespects his women behind her back.

It wasn't me that night, the only mistake I made was not to punch them at that moment, and I am paying price for it till now.

And now I can only see hate in your eyes.

It wasn't my fault.

I know you won't believe me... neither I want to explain anyhow.

It's past now... You are my past....

I said looking at her eyes, "I hope work won't be any slower because of some minor issues... I have a meeting at 5, I want you there...."

I walked away from her, leaving her cabin and hopefully her memories that get stronger every second in my mind. I simply cannot forget her, she will always be the unfinished chapter in my mind.

I heard her phone ring, then her answering it. Her voice rang in my mind, "Hi... Leo..."

Leo... Who...

Leo..

Leo....

I know this name but... it's not clicking, somehow... I hate this name already.

I heard her, "Sorry... Leo... I forgot, I will be there in a min..."

I walked out her cabin walking to mine. She is going out with that guy.

Leo ... Leo Avila

Leo Avila, Victor Avila's son.... He is Master Morris ally, he owns few malls around the country and is active in some other our work related matter.

Leo is Aiken's friend, as far I remember he was into her in the past.

I stood by the glass window as I was looking straight out. Lavina... is it a date?

30 minutes later my phone buzzed, I checked the message and I got an Image of Lavina with Leo, they are indeed on a date.

I felt like my body was on fire, everything irritated me for a second, I have to get an hold of it. I remembered her words from that day, she wished to move on.

She wishes to move on and I feel like I am stoned to one place, this doesn't sound right.
