||CHAPTER 7||

I was dusting the windows of the little house when I noticed someone walk inside the field . I stared at him , at first I thought It must be Frank ,but I realise it was Hunter . What was he doing in there at this time of the night ? .

It was ten o' clock at night and we had just finished our dinner . With his absence at the table . I wonder if he ate anything . But I was in no position to question that man . All I could figure oit from what I saw was that he hated new people.  He was an introvert as told by Frank . And he positively did not want me here concluded by my own observations .

It had only been half a day . Of course it was uncomfortable for me to talk to everyone besides Sofia . But they all seemed happy to listen to me . They all said it was no big deal that I stayed here . Other than the glare I got from Hunter , I was fine .

"Knock Knock " I turned around to see Frank . He was holding a flat basket in his hands which contained towels .

"Hey there , Sofia said you will need these . She forgot to bring them over " I thanked him taking the basket and keeping it on the bed . "Here's the key to the door.  I'll get a better lock tomorrow since the old one isn't much tough " He said .

"No its fine " I answered . "No , You are our responsibility now . " I smiled shaking my head . "Good night then Eve " .

"Good night " I replied . He closed the door leaving me alone . It wasn't like the house was somewhere far away . It was literally right behind the house they lived in .

 "I should be fine . " I whispered . 

The sun was blazing in the sky next morning , But it was a cool weather . I looked up at the drifting clouds . White like cotton moving over light blue sky . The trees around us were huge . I could hear the rustling of the leaves every time a wind gushed past us , It was almost noon till I was done helping Sofia by pruning her roses .

I chuckled , I loved the feeling of working in a small farm , gathering flowers for decor . To bad ,every time I did that back at my house I was taken back inside and asked to study .

"Sweetie you're spacing out !" I jumped looked back and nodding making her sigh , " Common, we have to take the potatoes out the baskets . I will need help in that " I nodded .

She grew potatoes ? In a basket ? Aren't they a underground things ?

While I walked with her to the end of the filed with a huge basket filled with roses and sunflowers in them she smiled standing next to a huge basket." You grew potatoes in these ?" I asked fascinated . " Well I have more in the ground but they aren't ready yet . I was gonna throw these huge baskets away and thought why not "

"Sofia " I called as we turned the basket upside down and let the soil fall over . " Hm ?" she hummed digging in getting her potatoes into another basket . " Do you depend on this work ?" I asked . She looked up thinking and shrugged . " I don't , I am actually a decor designer . But when I saw how much more I could earn by just doing something loved , I took it as a second job for myself "

What's a decor Designer ? Like Interior designer ?

" What's a decor designer ?" I asked . " Well when you need a upgrade in your room without completely ripping it to pieces , that's when we come in " I nodded with my mouth slightly open to agree with her . " Well , Lets get these and prepare some snacks for the boys " I nodded , " Then we can store this for tomorrow's sale " She spoke grabbing a basket and leading me to the back entrance of their house right into the store .

" Now remember , potatoes get dirt in small spaces . so scrub them with this scrub , Cut the leaves off the carrots and wash them too then wash the herbs and let them dry . I'll wash the rest and clean up " I nodded .

Haha . What a joke when I thought I would enjoy this . I was sweaty by the end , sticky , I had dirt in my nails and hands . I was tired !

I washed up outside the kitchen as Sofia brought us towels . " It gets tiring doesn't it ?" She asked , " No , You are letting me stay so , I should do as much as I can " She smiled . " You know how to make doughnuts ?" I blinked thrice shaking my head .

" Well what better time to teach you " She said handing me a bowl of flour . I started doing it as she directed .
"Before me , did you do it all by yourself ?" I asked , " No , I had help from the the boys , especially from Tyler and Frank . They won't admit but they love Planting "

I laugh softly .

We sat at the dine Table together having tea and waiting for the guys to come back for lunch . "So , What are you doing in this part of town ? Or in a isolated village like this " She asked stuffing some biscuits in her mouth pushing the plate full of them to me . I smile taking two on a small plate and breaking one in half .

"Well , I just wanted to explore . Before I regret never being able to see my life outside a house "

"Your family is strict ?" I nodded sipping on a tea . "Let me know in hand if there is police looking for you . I don't wanna be blamed for keeping you hostage . " She said laughing . It wasn't a joke to me . But when she paused telling she was joking I bite my lip painfully .

"Sofia . Actually , I did -" my voice was cut by the slamming of the door . "Hello !" said Frank . Sofia smiled taking my empty cup of tea and putting it in the sink .

"I'll get you some Ice tea. I made doughnuts !" She exclaimed . I saw everyone walk in and take seat on either the couch behind us or beside me . "Hey the Eve " I smiled at Tyler . "Did Sofia give you darling a hard time ?" I chuckled .

"No she didn't , Let me help you Sofia " I said as she brought the plate of doughnuts on the table " . She shook her head . "Nah , you don't need to . " She said serving just her boyfriend a glass of ice tea .

"Got a good deal with that Jeep today . No one ever asked about it " Frank said .

"I told you she was worth an eye for someone . You and Blake will help me get the groceries to the market ? . " He nodded . "Eve You are going with her ?" I nod once . "That's good,hey Sofia ..have you seen Hunter ?" She gave a pout shaking her head as in a 'no' .

" He went straight to his room ." Frank gave a sigh . " Um , he isn't comfortable because of me ?" I asked . " Its not like that , I told you he doesn't like new people , He'll come around , Why don't you take some snacks for him ?"

Sofia basically pushed a tray of donuts and ice Tea in my hand .

" He sleeps on the third floor bedroom . " I frown . This house has a third floor ? . I realise it was designed in such a way that the attic on the Third floor was hidden behind the balcony of the second . Complicated designs .

As I carried Hunter's food I got to see the inside of the house better . I must say , This house was somehow so much more beautiful than that mansion I lived in . It gave a sense of warmness when I looked at the ethereal design .

I bite my lip giving two knocks at the door waiting for him to answer . I did know he didn't like me , He probably made it clear by not bothering to even sit on the dinner table .

When the door open my mental mind screamed seeing his huge body naked . His manhood covered by a towel . While I ran a train of thoughts of my neck's sudden warmness and my cheeks burning he spoke , " What do you want ?" He asked , almost harsh . Somewhat in sense of me bothering him . I gulp slightly pushing the tray towards him .

" Sofia wanted me to give you this "

"Don't want it " He was about to close the door but I stopped him by putting my hands on the door itself .

" Wait ! I-I am sorry If I am making you angry by intruding . She made it for you guys , she will get sad . I won't bother sitting on the dinning table for dinner . So you can stop avoiding me " He just stared , again .

The silence between was now killing me .
