CHAPTER 3 - GINA
I didn't know what was worse.
I settled my bags in my new room and looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't believe I was going to be one a mother.
How will my boyfriend take this, but I'll tell him at the right time .
My thoughts went back to Alex.
The fact that Alex had just told me to stay the hell away from him...
Or the fact that a small, stupid part of me actually wanted to know why.
I miss my boyfriend and I miss my life back. I miss my friend Rebecca as well
I walked out of that room with my head held high. Like his words didn't touch me.
Of course they didn't.
Why would they?
I wasn't interested in him. Not even a little. I wonder how I didn't notice the sudden change in my body.
Did they kidnap me ,and how did that woman manage to pull that off like that.
I walked out of the room with a sigh.
I reached the dining room and found Dora already there. Perfectly comfortable, perfectly pretty, sipping her juice like she owned the air in this mansion.
Which, technically, she did. She was Mrs. Black.
When I reached the table, I pulled out a chair and sat my ass down.
Dora looked at me with a ' What the f**k are you doing here' kinda look.
Then she looked towards the stairs
"Where's Alex?"she muttered and I knew she wasn't talking to me.I smiled , my smile was a fake sweet one.
"Probably somewhere regretting that he ever spoke to me."
Her eyebrows lifted. "Did something happen?"she spoke with a frown
"Nothing important." I picked up a piece of toast. "Your husband just has a serious attitude problem."
Her smile tightened a little. She was flashing a fake smile
Before she could answer, I heard them footsteps.
Alex, he looked emotionless like the skunk he was.
He walked in, unreadable as always, expensive watch, cold face. The moment he saw me sitting at his table, he stopped.
I smiled brightly at him.
"Good evening."I winked at him
He stared blankly that made me I smile wider.Dora jumped in quickly. "Good morning, babe."
He pulled out the chair directly opposite me and sat. That hateful, beautiful face.
I love the hate, can't wait to make their lives miserable.if her mother ruined my life then I'll gladly return the favour.
I immediately reached for the bowl of fruit.
"So....," I began serving myself.
His eyes lifted with a glare. The tension was thick
"How did you two meet?" I asked already chewing.Dora scoffed , maybe it was because she thought I wanted her cold husband.
Alex sighed. "Why do you want to know?"
"I'm just curious. A girl trapped in your house should know the love story of the lovely couple ?"
"You Don't need to know anything." He spat , he wasn't even eating at all .
I saw Dora's smirk. She is probably happy
"Fine then ..grauch." I muttered
I took a sip of juice, it was sweet . Almost swee like how I'm ruining this situationship
"Then tell me about your wedding." I asked again
Alex's jaw tightened and I loved this whole show.
Dora shot me a glare, it was as if it held knives . "Gina, maybe we should just eat." She muttered .
"But I'm eating." I pointed at my plate. "See? I'm eating and talking. Multi-tasking. I'm very talented."
I praised myself. The maids took away my plate after I was done.
Alex looked like he was already regretting sitting down.That made me want to talk even more.
"So, Dora, do you like living here?"
I annoyingly asked
"Yes."she spoke with an eye roll.
"Really? You don't get lonely in this museum?"
She nodded. "Of course not, especially when my bunny bunny is here."she spoke smiling at Alex.
I scoffed, this was not turning to how I wanted it to turn into.
I looked around the enormous dining room. "I suppose anyone would. This place is bigger than my entire neighborhood back home."
Dora scoffed .
Alex remained silent, cutting his food like he wanted it to be me.
I looked at him. "You don't talk much, do you?"
"No."he cut me off
"Why?"I asked annoyingly.
"Because I don't have anything to say to you."he spoke
I nodded thoughtfully. "That's unfortunate."
His eyes narrowed. "For you, maybe."he replied
"I can talk enough for both of us."I spoke smirking.
Alex just shook his head.
I wasn't done.
"What do you usually do all day? What's your favorite food? Do you like shopping? Traveling? How long have you known Alex? Does he always look like someone stole his car?"
By the time I reached my tenth question, Alex finally put down his fork with a clink.
"Gina!."he snarled
I looked at him innocently. "Yes?"
"Do you ever stop talking? You are making me wanna toss you out"he slammed the table.
I shook my head.
"No."
Dora Smirked." This is a sign that you don't belong here .
I smiled proudly. "At least I'm honest."
"You've been here for one night," he said, rubbing his forehead like I gave him a headache. "And you're already exhausting."
I placed a hand against my chest, pretending to be hurt.
"Wow. That's hurtful but You'll survive." I muttered and he walked out of the dinning
I burst out laughing. I couldn't help it.
Then I got up from the chair and my phone rang so I answered the call." Hello, Gina speaking."I said formally
" Hello Gina, this is the private hospital were you mother is kept. We would like to let you know her surgery was paid for."they announced and my smile brightened.
" Thank you for the info."I muttered and the call ended.
Finally, something to look forward to.
I walked around the house, I saw a nearby window so I peeped out . I saw Dora driving away so I chuckled.
I went to my room and walked in the to the bathroom and took a shower as well. After I was done I wrapped my body in a towel.
Then a crazy idea stroke in my head. " Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!"I screamed then heard footsteps.
The door slammed open and Alexander barged in the room looking worried." What the f**k'!"he muttered and I went mute.
My eyes widened
" What's going on?"he asked looking at me .
"Alex,you need to see this." I muttered then slowly and deliberately I unwrapped my towel and his eyes widened.
"No , what are you doing Gina." His eyes widen and by that time the towel fell down on the floor.
