Desperately into you

CHAPTER 50

I stopped my slow jog as I tried to relax the rhythm of my breath. Well, I’m not wearing the usual attire for jogging though, I didn’t intend to jog for today I just want to do something that makes me keep moving so the boredom will fly away.

I could feel the drips of my sweats inside this plain sweater. I drink the water from the plastic bottle that I brought and I glance back to where our fancy mansion is.

I didn’t see Melinda where she was hiding anymore, she may be already started to clean my room since she has the schedule to clean my room thoroughly. Unlike before, I was the one to clean my room just because I don’t want anyone would enter my room, but then… I’m becoming a bit sluggish to do the cleaning so… I gave the task to Melinda, instead.

I sighed and continued what I was doing, but maybe this is just not a friendly day to me or I was just so lousy when It comes to tying my very own shoelace. My shoelace came off and I tripped. It was my one foot that made me trip ‘cause I accidentally stepped on it while I was jogging.

I helplessly fall to the ground and I couldn’t imagine how I looked like I injured the pain in my hands and especially on my both knees.

My face grimaced as I wince because of the pain.

“Ugh! f*****g hell...”

I blew a forced breath as I sat on the ground, I don’t f*****g care where I’m sitting right now, I only care about the extreme sting on my knees.

“Ouch…”

I mumbled and was almost teary-eyed when I looked at my both knees, regretting that I didn’t choose to wear leggings instead.

The bruises were very visible and the stained blood on my both knees was now slowly appearing and because I have snow-like skin, it was very evident on my skin.

It hurts! f*****g hurts!

I tried to stand up just to fall back because it stings a lot! That’s what you get, Karina!...

I slowly blew on it, the warmness coming from my breath relaxing it a bit, so I continued to blow on it slowly… maybe just after for a moment I could go back to our mansion and bring this amazing remembrance along with me.

I was sitting on the concrete ground of our wide pathway while still blowing slowly, slowly, on both wounds on my knees.

‘’s**t!’’ I muttered a cuss while staring at my wounds and not to mention that I was here sitting on the ground under the sun!

I couldn’t see any of my Dad’s men though, most of his men are rooted in our gates and some were on the other corners, probably, no one saw me in my situation right now.

After a couple of seconds, I heard a rushing sound of footsteps coming from my back.

“Young lady?! What happened”

That’s my driver’s worried voice, Shawn…

I slowly tilted my head to look at him, I saw him standing while examining me and his eyes were fixed on my wounded knees. He’s still topless with the sweats all over his body.

Shawn gasped when he saw my wounds and he immediately kneeled in front of me. I saw him that he was in the Berge of asking where did I get my wounds but when he saw my untied lace grazing on the ground, he probably got it.

He sighed and he tied my shoelace properly and put it back on properly.

I was silently watching him, and back to my wounds, it still hurts!

“Are you okay, young lady?”

He asked gently after he was done putting back on my shoelaces.

I pursed my lips and shook my head. I’m not!

Without a warning, Shawn picked something out of his pocket and I saw that it was a handkerchief.

“It’s no need, I’ll just go back to the mansion.” I refused because he started to wrap the wounds on my right knee that has a bigger wound than the left.

‘’Let me, young lady.” He says almost in a whisper.

I didn’t say a word and I just waited for him to finish doing it so I could go back to my room after. But just after a minute a running footstep coming from our back caught our attention. I and Shawn both turned to look who was coming.

We saw Melinda half running going in our way, and I noticed that she was holding my phone in her hand!... I raised my brows.

When she get beside us, she exaggeratedly gasp as she covered her mouth using her other hand.

I was about to snap at her about why she was holding my phone but her high-pitched voice boomed before I could say a word.

“Oh my God! Young lady what happened?!” She asked loudly shocked while looking at my wounded knees, it’s just that my right knee was already covered by Shawn’s handkerchief. Meanwhile, Shawn continued to tie the handkerchief properly.

“I’m fine, Melinda,” I answered shortly as I looked at her who was now shamelessly ogling the top naked body of my driver who was busy with wounds…

“Melinda?’’ I called her coldly. She was still staring at Shawn and I was already frowning because I want to know why she was holding my phone.

“Why you’re holding my phone?” I asked, and as if on cue, her eyes widens as if she remembered something.

“Oh my God! I forgot!” She said panicky and immediately lift my phone and handed it to me.

I was frowning as she placed it on my palms.

“Engr---Sir Viel is on the other line,” She said faltering.

“What?” I asked while my eyes widens.

Is she kidding me? Viel don’t call and he never did even once!

“Yes, young lady, he’s on the other line, he can hear you…” She said and pause. “ I’m sorry, young lady, I answered it because Sir called 3 times and I was there so I already answered his last call.” She stated and vowed her head.

My jaw dropped as I increased the brightness of my phone and I saw his name there! Conrad… the call was ongoing and I absentmindedly put it near to my ears.

“H-h-hello?” I frustratedly bit my lips because of this stupid nervous I’m feeling. Well, I’m just so surprised! He called!

I looked at my wounds and my eyes darted to Shawn who was now also sitting on the concrete ground in front of me… It seems like he wants to bring me back to our mansion my I shook my head, I want to focus on the call… despite the sweats on my forehead.

Melinda was still standing beside us.

“Karina…” Viel’s cold soothing voice filled my ears.

Just hearing his cold voice is enough to make my heart stop beating for a good while.
