(Editing) Sold to Be His

Chapter 18

He is here. Why?

"You look super nice," Royce says.

"Let's go," I finally break my silence.  I get Bonnie's hand. "I'm sorry Royce but I need to go."

"See ya," he says as I walk past him. My walk becomes a jog and I drag Bonnie out of the mall to the parking lot.

"What is going on?" she asks. We stop in front of the car. "Who is this Royce?"

"My ex-boyfriend! My only boyfriend before Shawn."

"What? Really?"

I nod quickly. "Yes yes."

"Okay, let's go home, we talk about it there," Bonnie says.

As soon as we get there, I speedy Gonzalez to my room. Bonnie follows and immediately asks who Royce really is.

"I told you, he is my ex-boyfriend."

"Then? Why the sudden reaction? Did you guys end really bad?" Bonnie asks.

I sigh, "I broke up with him to scare him off. He wasn't being serious about us so I thought that by breaking up, he would realize he had it all with me."

"So he took it as the real thing and you didn't return back?"

Sure. Why not, let me go with that. I nod.

"It is awkward now. He seemed upset, so I guess he heard you got married to Mr. Trevor," she says.

"Yep, he thinks I broke up with him for Shawn. I didn't but it seems that way," I say.

Bonnie pats my leg. "It's fine. But I really didn't like how he looked at you."

"Hopefully I don't see him again, wonder why he is here," I think out loud.

"Maybe I can investigate all of this for you,"

I chuckle, "It's okay."

"Okay," she chuckles, "do you need anything?"

"No, but don't tell Shawn please," I say. "It's not worth it."

"Okay madam, excuse me then," Bonnie walks out of my room.

I drop to the bed and sighs loudly. "Why are you here Royce?"

...

Shawn arrives from work. I hug him tight as he gets through the door. "Hi my love."

"Heh, I missed you too baby," Shawn chuckles against my neck. I pull away, "how was work?"

Shawn gets my hand and he walks us to his office.

"It was good but you need to help me finish typing a report," he says. He sits on his chair behind the desk.

"What? And what about dinner?" I ask.

"I called Bonnie and asked her to order us Chinese, she will bring it in once it is here,"he answers. He takes out papers from his brief case. "Now be a good wife and help me."

He hands me a small laptop and I get it as I sit in front of the desk. "Fine!"

He chuckles, "you will rewarded."

I almost choke on my saliva. I feel my cheeks get hot. He smirks, "Good girl. Now type down the notes and put the numbers in an Excel sheet please."

I look down, "okay." As I get to the end of finishing, there's knocking on the door. "Sir," Bonnie says.

"Come in," Shawn says. He pushes the papers to the side and turns the computer screen off.

Bonnie comes in and she has a tray with two soda pops and two boxes of Chinese food.
