Desperately into you

CHAPTER 58

They were busy with their discussion and I was just sitting on my bed watching them.

My mom excused herself together with Melinda, I bet they’ll go to prepare some snacks tonight.

“Well since the last month you focused on it…” I heard my dad say when I glance their way, I can’t fully hear what they discussing, but well of course it’s related to business. I saw my dad glance my way and back to Viel whose back was against me.

“I noticed that you’ve been visiting every night for the last 2 weeks until now,” I heard the baritone voice of my dad followed by his chuckles when he glanced my way.

I frowned…

“I think my daughter is giving you a hard time…” I heard my dad which make my forehead crease even more.

What they are talking about?... I saw Viel shake his head as if he was saying that it’s not, Brandon, on the other hand, was just looking at them.

“I book in the nearby hotel, Sir…” Viel answered. Oh? He was staying here in Austin for weeks now?

I don’t really get what they were talking about.

My father just shrugged and turned to Brandon as he continued what they were discussing earlier before Viel arrived.

I sighed as I rested back on the headboard while playing with the flowers on my hold since I have no one to talk to… After a couple of minutes, I heard footsteps and their voices.

“By the way, Viel… I have something to deal with in my office and Brandon would help me, I won’t mind if you want to come…” My dad formally stated as they stop near my side.

Viel just slowly shook his head, declining my dad’s invitation, and put his both hands in his pocket, I was facing his broad back…

“I’m good here, Sir…” He responded languidly.

“Cassidy,”

Dad called as he tilted his head to the side to see me.

“Yes, dad?” I was looking back at him waiting for what he’ll going to say.

“You’ll be okay here? Viel will be with you though,” He stated languidly as he looked at me and at Viel…I know he didn’t mean anything about that but I don’t know why my both cheeks slowly heat up!

“Y-yeah, of course,” I immediately answered.

He nodded and spoke.

“Alright then, ‘‘He said and began to make his way to the door…

I smiled when I saw Brandon wave at me cutely before he stormed out of the room with my dad and now I was left alone with this man in front of me who is now looking at me silently.

“H-how a-re you?” I asked while stammering ‘cause he was just quiet while looking at me coldly and I am trying to find a word to lighten the nervousness I was feeling right now. It’s funny how his gaze affects me this much while he was just here standing in front of me like he owned my breath and he was just so calm, collected, and serious… effortlessly, he can put me in awe by just his simple stance and gaze.

He stayed quiet for a moment when I asked him that, then I was surprised when he chuckled without humor, his piercing eyes stayed on me.

“How I am, Huh?” He repeated sarcastically as he jerk his head to the other side.

I looked at him, I haven’t had a glimpse of him for months and I really miss him… I’m really going insane!

“Yes---” He cut me off immediately and his heavy stares bore onto me while his jaw slightly clenched…

I was confused when I looked at his expression, why the heck did he looks mad all of the sudden!?

Isn’t he always like that?

My inner devil voice interrupted.

“Shouldn’t I be the one to ask that huh?!” He spat at me…

He looks so dead serious right now while glaring at me, but I didn’t even flinch, I was amazed watching him being like this all of the sudden and he looks so damn gorgeous! Very manly and hot!

“Karina!” He snapped at me and his thick brows almost met while his sharp gaze was on me. He may be noticed that I was just staring at him… Well, I was busy praising him and forget that he was frustrated for I don’t know what the reasons may be…

“Are f*****g listening?” He fired and his intense gaze never left mine.

“Hmm-mm,” I answered absentmindedly and nodded in a very sluggish way which make his forehead knotted even more.

I looked at him when I noticed something.

“Uh-uh, no bad words allowed,” I arched my brows at him.

He gave me an arrogant look before he speaks. “Oh, Cut it, Karina… you brat!”

He snapped. I just pursed my lips and roll my eyes at him… I’m used to that line of his anyway and I miss hearing that once again…

without saying anything, he just sat on the side of my bed and he mess his hair like he was running out of patience or something while I’m looking at him confused about his action.

Okay?...

I bit my lower lips as I watch how his disheveled hair and some strands of it softly fall and touched his forehead

He stayed silent for a while and I was just here watching him all the time, in his every move and the way his lips move, I just love to watch him closely…

My eyes trailed down to his masculine strong arms It was thick and looked so good. I remember when we first met, He carried me when I got a sprain, and then the second one was when we were cleaning the old bungalow house of his mom’s.

‘’I don’t know what to do to you, Karina,”

He mumbled, even though it sounds so weak and almost a whisper, I heard it clearly as his deep voice break the still air in this room.

I looked at him, He looks frustrated… I was speechless…

Was he worried about me too? When did I get into an accident? Because the way he looked at me and his actions say yes. He does…

“I was so worried about you! Why the hell do you have to be that hardheaded!”

He burst out suddenly,

“T-that was so close and you know how deadly it could be!... If you just let your driver maneuver the car then you wouldn’t get to be in this f*****g situation!” He roared and I almost shriek.

I was looking at him while pouting and behaving like a damn kitten while watching him like a beast who just ripped his very little amount of patience.

But just after a second of watching him, instead of getting afraid, I can’t help but to let out a cute smile!

He’s showing emotions! He’s mad and he speaks longer than the usual!... Well, I know when he’s with me, he tends to speak more words and it only happens if he’s scolding me or frustrating me about something that of course, has something to do with me and I love that!... It’s crazy but I love to see him turning into a mad predator and eat his willing victim!... Yeah, I was referring to myself.

I was dreamily watching all his outbursts with a small smile on my lips, and when he turned to me and caught my expression.

He groaned like a helpless beast.

"Viel... dear, try this, I'm sure you'll gonna love this," My mom happily offered and I saw that it was cookies on this white plating, she urged him to pick one and taste it right away. Viel looks uneasy with my lively mom around and I'm trying to hold my giggles because of that. Maybe because she was too joyful and he was so serious.

I watched him and his long hair was still disheveled because he messed it up a while ago when he was frustrated when we were alone 'cause Melinda and my mom were busy downstairs preparing something to eat.

My eyes found Melinda and I caught her standing near the door while her face flushed which always happens whenever she sees Viel around.

I mentally roll my eyes, this girl...When she saw me looking at her, she immediately showed a peace sign and make his way to the empty table that was in the corner of a glass wall that has a very amazing view outside, lamps that glow, and also it's a full moon.

I was frowning while watching my mom and me pouting at the same time!

She was busy offering cookies to Viel and I think she forgot about her only daughter wanted to have some too! That's unfair...

" I'm really glad about your often visits Viel, you know what, we really wanted to have a son before since we already have a princess here who's a bit pain in the ass---"

My face crumpled with my mom's statements, so I cut her off! Oh my God! why does it seem like everyone is against me!...

" Hey, Mom!... I can hear you from here, in case you don't know," I snapped sarcastically...

Her back was against me while Viel was facing in my direction and I saw how his lips were slightly curved that is almost invisible.

My mom's giggles echoed in the room as she walked toward me.

"Why sweetheart? Isn't it true then?" She teased.

" Mom!" I pouted.

She chuckled and gave me a piece of cookies...

I immediately took a bite of it and chew it as I observe the taste...

Well, it's not that sweet, what should I expect from my so strict-of-a mother when it comes to sweet anyway?...

"Melinda? Their juice please..." She muttered as she signaled Melinda to get some.

"Oh, Viel... Come on, get another one..." She happily lifts the container of the cookies, before she spoke.

" This one is made of dark chocolate and this one has nuts, come on, have a taste, and you too Cassidy," She gave me while smiling...

" Mom, remove the one with peanuts, Viel has allergies to that," I declared as I reached it from her hold...

She was stunned for a moment before she reacts.

" Oh! Right! I heard it last time at the party but I actually forgot it, sorry for that Viel..."

My mom was apologetically looking at him... Viel assured them that it was not a problem so just don't mind, before she called Melinda,

" Melinda!.."

"Yes, madame?" Melinda immediately showed up in front of us.

" Bring this, downstairs," she ordered.

The latter immediately conveyed and stormed out of the room...

"Oh, it's already 9 p.m.----" my mother was interrupted by a phone ringing... It was her phone. She answered the call and excused herself as she step and turned her back on us.

We were just silent while watching her, Well, I could sense that she'll be busy any time from now...

After a moment she turned to us and put his phone back...

" Cassidy, I'll be just downstairs okay? I'm sorry I have to check some reports but I'll be just there l, call me if you need something okay?" She said as she walks near me and put the strand of my hair on the back of my ears.

She paused and looked at Vile who was just quiet all the time.

" How about you Viel? Will you be okay here or gonna leave?" She asked.

It was like my ear grew them times bigger and became attentive and waiting for his answer, like

' I don't want to go home yet madame, I won't leave and I'll take care of my baby' like this.

I bit my lower lip with my silly thoughts.

"I'll see, madame," he answered formally.

I pouted when his answer was far from what I had expected.

"Oh, alright, I'll be just in my office,"

She muttered before she finally went out of the room.

And now, we are left alone here again,

Great! It's just that, I don't want to have arguments with him all the time! And hello?! I'm still regaining for my energy.

"Viel?"

I said his name,

He was so damn serious as always and silent... He's a man who doesn't waste his saliva on nonsense words anyway.

" Conrad?! Frosty yahoo!" I snapped at his face because he didn't answer me he was just watching me silently and I don't know what he was been thinking inside his head if he was kissing me on his mind or hugging me---- okay, stop about that fantasy and imagination of yours KC!

" What is it, Karina," He muttered using that stellar voice of his.

Oh, it seems like he's not done yet with his frustration earlier... He was just forced to stay still because there is my mom and Melinda around.

I pouted and slightly rubbed the tip of my nose.

"I can hear Crickets..." I mumbled as roll my eyes at him.

Viel grunted and shook his head as if he was already drained because of me.

Afterward, I looked using that captivating gaze,

" Move," he muttered softly and I was confused.

" What?" I asked him again.

" Move a little bit on the side Karina," he repeated in his voice that was a bit hoarse.

I shrugged and obeyed him, I carefully money body on the side and I looked at him raising my brows and showing him that I already did.

After a couple of seconds, I was surprised when he threw his large frame on my bed.

Then he mumbled in a husk...

" I'm so tired, Karina, " he whispered in a very deep and drowsy tone. And before I knew it,

He was already asleep while letting out soft sounds and heavy breaths.

Can he get even more adorable?...
