Pure Desire

11: Veda

"So, anything I missed while I was gone?" Evelyn asked who was in front of me, chopping vegetables and decadent fruits. She had been cooking all morning and nothing more.

I swallowed. Should I tell her about what happened between Elias and I? I glanced at her, hesitating. She wouldn't believe me, maybe. I wondered about Elias for the past few days, ever since the....incident.

I guess we were passed the part about Chase showing up to the house uninvited. What I wanted to know was why Elias was avoiding me. Why did I avoid him? Were we avoiding each other? Purposely?

"Not really, I've been sitting here alone as always," I said sadly, pushing away my food that no longer made me have an appetite.

"Why, you're always getting into trouble? You and Elias didn't bump heads this weekend did you?" I sensed her smile. I bit my lip.

"No," I lie.

"Huh," she turned to me amusedly," I'd say I'm surprised but I don't believe you."

I raise my eyebrows and smile. "Evelyn please don't ever leave me again."

She chuckles. "Get over here and help me chop these."

"Why? What's it today that you're making so many stuff?" I asked her curious of the special occasion. I moved around the table to stand next to her. She lets out a breath of stress and looked to me with exhausted eyes.

"Elias is having a party tonight. Many wealthy people, human and supernatural from his work come here to celebrate. From what I hear, he made an important contract with another pack in the u.s." she tried to explain as I nodded my head. I hadn't heard anything about this, not that I was surprised as I never kept up with Elias anyways.

When I was kicked out of his office that day I never wanted to see his stupid face again. But when I did, he would never look my way. Which I should be grateful for but another part of me wished to see him again, to get some answers for once. Why did he act the way he did? Why did he lose control like that? The man is confusing as it is.
