I woke up when I felt a strong arm snaking my stomach… I slightly opened my eyes while rubbing them softly. My gaze flew to the clock on the wall.
12:18… Oh, I woke up in the middle of the night. I was pulled back in my senses when I felt a warm breath on my nape, It tickled the softness of my skin on that part. I am breathing heavily like I was running after something, and my breath completely hitch when Viel pulled me closer. Goodness!
I think I’ll go insane if he would not stop sniffing my hair! I could feel that!
I close my eyes tightly as I bit my lips, well, we were this close… this is the closest.
I remember what I and my mother talked about, it was about boys and such random things, It’s like a mother and daughter time which happens once in a blue, we’re on good terms, of course, it’s just that they were always busy. We also talked about the incident that had happened to me and Shawn. She told me that my father and herself just turned ballistic when I got into an accident… My dad even want to send the van truck driver to prison because he was mad, but the blame was really on me, It was my fault and there are shreds of evidence that I just messed up big time… That’s why my dad calms down and so does my mom. I was the one who caused the accident and I remember my mom’s reaction a few hours after if I’ll be arrested,
“Do you hear yourself? Cassidy?!” She exaggeratedly reacted while looking at me at that time.
“Yeah,” I answered languidly. Then she hissed when she heard that as if what I’m asking was just so lame…
“There’s no way in hell that would ever happen to you! You won’t get any punishment or something, besides they were already compensated because of the damages, so no one would dare to sue you because of that, we’re a Tyson… Cassidy,” She stated proudly.
I sighed…It’s not enough, I’m at fault and I know that… but maybe I’m a Tyson, perks of being rich, daughter of tycoons, everything was fixed immediately with no sweats, it’s like everything was already solved right even it happened. That’s actually the top advantage of being rich, and it’s quite unfair… It’s manipulating…
When did my mother say that I felt guilty and mad at myself, she’s taking advantage of our power even though it was my fault, But yeah, I understand them, they are parents of mine, and there are no parents who want their child to be disaster situation, I know that, It’s just that I’m thinking, what if someone died because of my carelessness? I bet my parents won’t think twice to use all of their connections just to shut it off… and just like my mom said, I’m a Tyson, their only daughter, so whenever I do something stupid and put myself in those shitty situations, it also means that I’m staining the known name I’m carrying and the reputation… That’s one of the reasons why my father gets mad at me as you noticed… But I haven’t told her yet about Shawn, I hadn’t got a chance though, ‘cause she decided to leave the room and wish me good night after she called Melinda just to say that don’t bring the prepared food here anymore.
And just that, she left the room, I left alone with Viel and my mother doesn’t seem to be bothered with that, I mean… it’s not that she has something to be worried about me, it’s just that… she didn’t even try to wake the son of Mr. Boromeo up or guide him to our empty guest room, instead, she even said that don’t disturb his sleep!... Can you imagine that?... she trusted Viel as much as my dad did. And now we’re here, he was sleeping peacefully while I am fully awake. I don’t think I could go back to sleep again…
“Mom…”
I flinched a bit when I heard a whisper near my ears. The low deep sounds so sorrowful were very evident in Viel’s voice. I frowned for a moment…
And that’s when I realized that he was dreaming about his mom… again,
I heard him mumbled something, but I couldn’t understand it clearly since it was in so a low tone and undistinguishable.
I bit my lower lip and tried to turn to face him… I wanted to see him, it’s like he’s dreaming about those memories of his late mom again. This was the second time, I heard him mumble about his mom… I could say, he misses her so much, I wonder if he was a mama’s boy back then…
But he was so cold KC!
I faced him, his eyes were tightly shut and his forehead was slightly creased. I slowly lift my one hand to caress It’s a good thing it relaxes eventually.
The first time I heard him dreaming about his deceased mother was in the car when he was asleep and I took a selfie of us using his phone… it’s when we visited the main base of AeroFlit, and now, this was the second time…
“Hush,” I whispered when I heard him groan…
I was caressing his lips to his eyes so he would relax. Does he always like this?... I don’t know,
He looks so lonely when he’s asleep and he looks so adorable at the same time, and you wouldn’t see the traces of those if he’s awake, well, for me, I find him adorably hot as always… I’ve been saying that so many times anyway…
I was caressing his clenching jaw, hoping it would help to relax it a bit…
And just after a moment, his face looks calm now, and his breath relaxes… I watched him closely but then his eyes slowly opened and the different colors of his enchanted and alluring eyes caught me off guard.
It was so amazing… I stared at him and a smile crept onto my lips, I was watching him closely so I could see how his eyes dilated when he stared back…
Yeah, I’m only 17, and he was very ahead of me, but I know what I have for him…
I could feel it, this is an extreme and foreign feeling that happened to me for the very first time… and he was the only one who make me feel like this, he’s the culprit.
He sees me as his little sister, I guess… or a friend, but I’m stopping my mind to think or assuming something beyond that … that’s impossible…
“It’s midnight,” I uttered…
I felt a bit uneasy and I could stare at him for so long like what he was doing right now. It’s just too deep and intense so I tried to divert my eyes and say something…
“How are you feeling?’’
He asked in a husky bedroom voice didn’t pay attention to what I had said.
I raised a brow before I answered…
“I feeling good,” I answered in a low tone.
He sighed looked up and his eyes went back to me again…
“I hope that incident would be enough reason and lesson for you to stop being so stubborn, Karina.” He stated Icily… he was dead serious while saying those.
“I’ll be just careful next time,” I responded…
He raised his thick brows at me before he spoke.
“If I were your father, I wouldn’t allow you to drive your car, simply because you’re careless,” He snorted. I pouted
“…And a brat,” He added using his lethargic deep voice.
I pursed my lips even more. Here we go again.
“Stop calling me a brat!... It would be lovely if you’ll replace that with the word ‘gorgeous’ instead.” I muttered in a playful voice while wiggling my brows at him.
His low baritone laughs bombarded.
“What a witch,” he said as he shook his head while chuckling…
