Chapter 15
“Why the hell did you slap me ?” Averly asked holding her cheek. Marley gave her another slap and she fell on the floor and she rushed at her on the floor and started beating her until the maids intervened and separated her.
Marley spat at Averly and rushed out of the living room. Calvin’s parents did not react in any way, they just sat there eating their breakfast.
The maids helped the beaten Averly up and started applying first aid treatment on her bruises. Next thing Marley came into the living room with her bags, she did not speak to anyone just stormed out of the house.
There was a moment of silence of laughter when she left which was broken by Kelly’s unfiltered laughter. She continued laughing until Averly couldn’t take it anymore and left the room.
Averly went to the kitchen and brought some ice and put it in a cloth and used it to dab her face.
“What happened to your face ?” Calvin asked entering the kitchen.
“Geez, you startled me Calvin, Marley and I got a little misunderstanding” she replied.
“Are you sure it is little ?, because the damages is not little just look at your face” Calvin said.
“Don’t worry we will sort it out” she replied.
“Is the misunderstanding connected with you guys leading me to Marley’s room last night ?” Calvin asked.
Averly looked at him in shock.
“You are surprised that I knew right ?, you really underestimate me Averly. Who gave you the idea that a little sleeping pill would affect me ?” he asked.
“I am so sorry Calvin” she apologized.
“Thank your stars that I didn’t take care of you guys, by did you friend told you how torturous her night was ?” he asked. When Averly didn’t replied, he smirked and left the kitchen.
Averly body got cold and she started experiencing goosebumps all over her body.
The last time that Calvin made the statement “take care of you” she knew what happened.
It was during a summer holiday she spent at the Dennis family house when she was sixteen. There was one boy that she dated that works at a convenience store close to the house. The boy slept with her and dumped her, she was heartbroken and couldn’t eat properly for days.
When she opened up about the matter to Calvin, he told her “I will take care of him”.
The following week she went to the store but another boy was working there. She asked the boy about her ex-boyfriend and the boy told her that he has missing for three days now. All the investigation the police and FBI did were all in vain because the boy was never found, not even his dead body was seen. He just literally vanished into thin air and was never heard of till date.
Since then Averly knew that Calvin was not ordinary even though he was two years older than her.
Meanwhile Dorothy and Kelly were still in the living room doing the homework. Calvin came into the living room and ordered ” Doll go and prepare we are living”.
“OK” she replied.
“I need to go and prepare” Dorothy told Kelly.
“It is fine, I will do the other ones thanks for helping” Kelly replied.
“It is a pleasure” Dorothy said and started walking towards the room. She reached the door and opened it, she quickly used her hand to cover her eyes.
Calvin was inside the room shirtless with a towel around his waist.
“What are you doing ?” she asked still covering her eyes.
“Undress let’s shower” Calvin said.
“Together ?” she asked.
“Yes and hurry I need to go somewhere” he said.
“But you said no intim…..”
“My parents will suspect if we don’t shower together” he said.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“And remove your hands from your eyes” he added.
Dorothy removed her hands only to find out he was still half-dressed, he threw a towel at her and said “I will be waiting in the bathroom” and went inside the bathroom.
Dorothy held the towel unsure of what to do “how can two grown opposite sex adults shower together and nothing will happen ?, no something must surely happen” she thought.
She undressed leaving only her underwear and wrapped the towel on her body and she nervously entered the bathroom.
Calvin was shaving by the mirror, Dorothy just stood there staring at his upper body, his towel was still around his waist.
“Stop staring, go and start showering” Calvin said.
“Are you joining me ?” she asked nervously.
Calvin stopped what he was doing and took a step closer to her. She took a step backward and Calvin kept coming closer to her till her back hit the wall.
He placed his left hand on the wall trapping her and used the other hand to hold her face up, he looked deep into her eyes and asked “do you want me to join you ?”.
Dorothy’s heart was at her mouth by how close he was to her and she couldn’t speak.
Her inside was turned into two, one wanted Calvin to join it while one doesn’t want Calvin to join it.
“Your decision determines if I am joining you or not, so what is it gonna be ?” he asked.
“I don’t want you to join me” Dorothy managed to say.
“Ok” Calvin said and went back to what he was doing.
Dorothy rushed into the shower and closed the door, she turned on the automatic black curtain which will not allow someone to see you from outside. She turned on the cold water shower to cool her hot body which was done by Calvin.
When she came out of the shower, Calvin has already left the bathroom. She opened the bathroom door and came into the room, Calvin was sitting on the bed all dressed and reading a book.
“Are you not going to shower ?” Dorothy asked.
“Already did” he replied.
“When ?” she asked.
“When you were in the living room with Kelly” he replied.
“But why did you tell me we were showering together ? and why were you half-dressed when I came to the room ?” she asked.
“Which one should I answer first ?” he asked.
“Anyone !” she exclaimed.
“I just wanted to see your reaction and if you weren’t so shy when you came into the room, you should have noticed the drops of water on my body” he replied.
