Desperately into you

CHAPTER 33

I was gapping as I glance at him in disbelief.

I'm sure that the brownies have something to do with it. And his father says it was three days ago...

"Alora,"

I heard Mr. Bandini call my mother's name. I c****d my head to the other side and I saw her walking toward where we standing.

"Good evening, Boromeo." My mom greeted me in glee before she stood beside my dad and she glance at me... My dad and Mr. Bandini went to the corner just a few steps away from us while they are discussing something.

I felt my Mom's hand on my shoulder while she was chattering with Viel who was lazily and looking arrogant standing here in front of us while he was sipping on his champagne.

I can't help but to glare at him, Well, I know I should be guilty because I'm sure that It's my fault. He got allergies because of the sweets I made for him. I'm sure of that.

I frustratedly bit my lower lips and throw him a dagger look once again. He didn't say he has allergies to nuts though so how would I know. This annoying frosty ate it!!

"Viel. How are you and my daughter? are you getting along with each other?"

My mom asked while smiling widely before she glance at me.

"Mom," I called her, stopping her from what nonsense she'll gonna ask.

What the heck? It seems like it has other meanings even though she just asked it casually.

"Yes, Mrs. Tyson. we're good."

Viel answered and nod his head when he glance at me.

He's always polite whenever he's talking with elders... that's the very good thing I observed about him.

"That's good, you both were the same as an only child, I'm sure you'll get along with each other since our Cassidy here has been wishing to have a brother or sister even before."

My cheek heated up when I lift my head and I saw Viel's piercing different-colored eyes looking at me with amusement... It's like he was telling me that he's not someone I should call a brother...

I secretly roll my eyes and he may be caught me that's why he shook his head in a very lazy way.

Good thing that my Mom was called by someone, probably her other friend, she excused herself before she left me standing alone with Viel in front of me. It's good if she'll get busy chit-chatting with them and then keep on asking the hilarious questions.

When I got the chance to talk to him. I stopped until he was just a few spaces away and I looked up at him. I crossed my arms on my chest, which was exactly the same thing I did when we were in the empty meditation room-like earlier. While he was lazily looking down at me.

He's really a pain in the neck.

''Why you didn't tell me?!" I snapped at him.

I remember that day when he took me home and he was acting weird he was turning a bit pale at that time and also red dots showing up on his skin. He immediately rode his car away that time and he never bothered to tell me about it. So now I'm very sure that It was my fault, though I was oblivious still I felt guilty...

He just raised his thick brows at me as if it was very unnecessary.

'' What? are you gonna answer me or are you just going to stand there like a statue for the rest of your life?!" I said grumpily. As if I'm giving him a choice.

"You Brat.''

His voice was cold and the annoyance was very evident in it. He's looking at me with his dead serious stares. What's new anyway? that's the usual him.

"It's nothing," He said languidly.

"It's my fault!"

" No, just leave it, you brat."

"You don't say that!"

" Stubborn." He muttered and sip the fluid from the glass he was holding.

" I'm not stubborn!" I shook my head.

It's unbelievable that we're exchanging debates

here in the open space. Good thing the other guests were busy that they didn't notice us. Including our parents.

And he says to Mom that we're good huh?...

"You are." He stated, '' and also a brat." He added.

I pursed my lips, He's making me annoyed!..

The very quiet side of Viel was so cold and it creeps me out. But right now he's answering me back and irritates me, freaks me out!

"Bullshit." I failed to hold my irritation, and it just slip into my mouth, unfortunately, he heard it.

Ohh, Viel Conrad Bandini was now glaring at me.

I know that he really hates to hear cuss.

" Cut the profanity, Karina." He blurted out in a low husky voice while throwing me a sharp look.

I just roll my eyes at him.

"It doesn't suit your pretty little mouth," Viel added.

" Whatever you say---'

We were interrupted by someone, Though even if I won't turn my head to look at that feminine voice coming from my back.

"Viel? can we talk?" Bella said in a very modesty way which made my eyes almost twirl. She didn't even look in my way, she went straight to Viel.

Viel's forehead creased. He glances at me and he just earned glares from me.

He said she's not his girlfriend?! then what are they gonna talk about?!

He may be lying, Karina. You know guys love to say they don't have girlfriends even if they have one. (Whispered by my inner voice.)

''Viel? can we talk somewhere?"

"We're still talking here," I answered Bella.

I saw her slowly turning her head to look at me, and just like earlier, the softness of her eyes turned sharp when they landed on me.

"Excuse me? I'm not talking to you." She said. it was gentle or should I say she's trying to sound it like that but her eyes were saying the opposite because she was looking at me in a bitchy way.

Fake...

Viel can't see it anyway because Bella was facing me and he was at her back, I saw My dad and his father talking to him.

"I told you, we're not done yet," I answered nonchalantly. she then crossed her arms on her chest and scanned me from head to toe.

Well, I'm not Karina Cassidy for nothing, so, I did the same. She scanned me once, I checked her twice.

I can see her true color right now, I knew it. she's just acting like a goddamn saint to impress Viel.

"Oh, that's okay Marcos, everything is doing fine though."

I heard my Mom's voice coming from my back,

I snorted at Bella when I caught her rolling her eyes at me.

I turned to look at my mother and I saw her walking in our direction, she was with someone.

A man in his early 40s I guess.

" Bella come here," I heard the man called Bella.

she rolls her eyes at me again before she walks past me.

" Alora, I'd like you to meet Bella Martinez, my daughter." I heard the man introduce Bella to my mom.

" She's the youngest, I know it's your first time to see her since I always bring her brothers to gatherings and to such meetings, she's into modeling so." He added.

I raised my brows.

Looked around and I saw Viel was now walking toward me, he was probably done talking with his father.

He was halfway to me when he suddenly stopped and fished his phone in his pocket. I watch him answer it but maybe because it's a bit loud here, he stepped back and find a quiet place, but before he turned his back on me. He glance at me first before he walked away.

I pouted... he's busy.

"Cassidy? sweetheart come here for a while please."

The sudden voice of my mom came from the back.

I immediately obeyed and walked ner them.

Bella was on her father's side while my mom reached for my hands and make them face him.

" This is my daughter Karina Cassidy Tyson," My mother introduced me to them.

I caught Bella simply rolling her eyes at me again, no one noticed it.

I arched my brows. This girl has a big problem for me.

"Nice to meet you," I said when I looked at Bella's father.

" He's Marcos Martinez, and his daughter Bella." Mom stated. " They're the owner of this premises Cassidy, The one I had told you earlier," he added.

I and Bella exchanged a fake smile.

" Beautiful heiress of the Tyson," Mr. Martinez look at me while smiling,

" Bella is a beauty too, Marcos." My mom says while nodding.

"Well, yeah, I know these beautiful young ladies here will be very victorious in the future." Mr. Martinez said, my mom just chuckled and nod as she cling her arms to mine.

A waiter passed by and offered us drinks,

Mr. Martinez and Bella get a glass of drinks while my Mom gave me a glass of juice.

" Mom, can I try--'

She cut me off.

"No. Cassidy, alcohols are not good for you,"

My mom said, I let out a heavy sigh because of that. She's so strict when it comes to this, she will say that it's not good for my body again.

"What's wrong, Alora?" I heard Mr. Martinez ask.

I forgot that they are just in front of us, Bella and her father.

I can't count how many times she rolls her eyes at me. What's wrong with her?.

"It's nothing Marcos, I just forbid my daughter to any alcohol," My mom said.

"Oh, I see, Well, it's sometimes fine to let them, since they are already at their right age." Mr. Martinez implied then he glance at his daughter beside him.

My Mom suddenly chuckled. I know what she's thinking though, I'm used to that...

" My daughter is just 16 Marcos," My mom chuckled and glance at me. I just gave them a poker face.

"Though, two weeks from now she'll turn 17," My mom added.

I saw Mr. Martinez surprised expression for a moment then he nodded while chuckling after a while.

And Bella who's also surprised to know about my age.

It's not really a big deal, why are they like that!?

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know that she looks like a fully grown-up woman, Alora. I thought she was already in her 20s or something." He said.

I let out a weak laugh and shook my head. But honestly, my foot was aching, I've been standing for a quite while now though.

"Nah, it's okay."

said by my mother.

After a couple of minutes, I excused myself and I saw Bella's stares following me.

I don't care about her though.

I saw the elders were busy, including my dad and Mr. Bandini.

I bit my lower lips when I can't see him... Viel.

We're not yet done talking so I want to talk with him.

"Where are you going?"

I tightly close my eyes in annoyance when I heard Bella's voice beside me.

What the heck is her problem!?

" Can you please stop following me!" I fired her.

We are in the corner though.

She rolled her eyes and gave me a smug look.

"Tsk, tsk. I can't believe you're just 16," she said mockingly while looking at me.

" And where are you going? you'll find Viel? why? because you like him," THen she let out an irritating laugh.

I was just raising my brow at her. She's insane.

I don't really care about her and I don't have time to listen to her nonsense.

I was about to turn my back on her when she pulled my hands once again.

" You think he will like you? huh. dream on''

She mocked me.

" Are you done? you're wasting my time." I said harshly and turned my back on her.

Who says that I care about her shitty words. I'm too lazy to even listen though.

I left Bella the annoying and roamed my eyes to find Viel.

"Do you know that you look like a lost kid when you keep on looking around?"

I heard the baritone voice of Viel from my back.

without any reason, a smile formed on my lips.

This is not really good, Karina. not really good.

He didn't wait for me to look at him because he went on my front and looked at me with his frowning thick brows. He looks so really hot.

" We're not yet done talking yet, where have you been?" I asked.

His furrowed brows almost met.

He didn't answer.

" We're not yet done talking yet! now. why you didn't tell me that you have allergies to nuts?!" I blurted out.

He was towering over me and shook his head.

"Oh shut it, I just ate that by accident. Leave it."

He says Icily.

I pouted.

"Why so grumpy, Viel?" I asked softly.

He closed his ice tightly like as if something is giving him a hard time right now.

When he opened his eyes until now I can't get used to how beautiful those orbs his.

It's so magical and unique.

He has heterochromia eyes and I wonder how got that, maybe inborn? by accident, or from trauma perhaps?. I don't think he inherited it since I haven't heard that their family had this diseased condition.

It always gets me. that brown and green mysterious orbs, his eyes. always get me.

And this is not really good.
