Mistaken Love (#Wattys2018)

Chapter 11

Escapades

The next morning, I was sitting down and eating my breakfast on the dinning table when Caius arrives home. He is still wearing the same clothes he wore before we got separated.

And at first I tried to act as if I didn't care.

"Are you going to eat?" I asked without glancing at him as I play with my glass of milk using my fingers.

"No, I already ate on my way here." He replied, removing his suit jacket then hangs it on the chair then sits down next to me.

By the time he sits down, I stands up and walks toward the fridge. I don't know but I feel irritated at his presence. He said he will be home before sunrise but come on! It's already past ten o'clock! He must be having fun that he didn't realise the time.

I opened the fridge and I didn't have any idea what will I get. I made an action without thinking. Damn. So to cover up, I grab a green apple and bite it without leaving my spot.

I can feel Caius watching all of my moves. And he can probably sense that I'm a little distant from him.

"So...are you going to the hospital?" I try to come up with some questions.

"I already went there." He replied, crossing his leg then takes his phone.

"You're going to stay here all day?" I asked, sounding like I wanted him to leave.

"No." He raises his head to glance at me. "We are off to Hawaii tomorrow morning so pack the clothes that you want to bring. But i suggest that you bring just a few. We will get the things that we needed there."

"So that means we are already going to get married?" I asked, worriedly.

"Yes." He answered then stands up. "I will just go and call the pilot to ready our jet."

"You own a jet?" I asked, a bit surprised.

"It's George's jet." He corrected.

"Oh." I mumbled then bit my lower lip. "Can I ask you something?"

"You're already asking." He scoffed, stopping in his tracks and crosses his arms, waiting for what I am going to say.

What an asshole.

"Can I call my Dad? I suddenly have this thing that maybe he needs to know that I'm alive."

"No." His voice was deep and serious.

"Excuse me?" I felt my chest tightens.

"Not yet." Caius was deeply looking into my eyes and very cold. I suddenly felt shivers down my spine as he says "You are not allowed to have any connections towards them for now. Just stick to our plan of getting married then we will cross the bridge when we get there." that was the only thing he said that walks off, leaving me standing in my spot.

Okay, what just happened? He can just tell me it in a simple manner not getting grumpy like that.

I sigh then gathers my plate while my coffee on the other hand.

"I will take care of that." Claire took them from me and placed them on the dishwasher.

I rubbed the bridge of my nose then paces towards the room, it was slightly open so I can hear Caius as he talks to someone on his phone. And he doesn't sound like he's in the mood.

"I have no time for nonsense chit chat. If you can't get me that file right now then better not show your face to me ever again!" He roared, throwing his phone to the bed then stomps towards the bathroom.
