Desperately into you

CHAPTER 9

I'm here in our garden holding my DSLR. It's early in the morning and my body decided to wake up early and get right here, as usual, I'm capturing my mother's well-arranged flowers, the clear sky, and also those little creatures flying and diving into those beautiful roses here in the garden.

I've been here for half an hour now, I asked one of our maids to get me a glass of pineapple juice while I let myself mesmerize by the view.

I busied myself capturing when I heard a footstep coming from behind me, I didn't turn to glance at my back.

" What took you so long, Melinda?'' I asked plainly while I took another shot.

" Is that how you greet me good morning, Cassidy?'' I immediately turn around to see my father

'' I thought it was Melinda, Dad" I answered. I scanned him and as usual, my dad is a morning person, he's wearing a grey tuxedo that he usually wears, he's ready to go and I bet he'll going to spend the whole day dealing with those investors and some meetings that need his presence. " good morning dad." I added.

He stayed silent as he looked at me

" Your mother will be home the day after tomorrow and I'll be home late," He said and I was looking at him

" You. stay at home. " He said with a serious tone that I couldn't complain.

I gave him my sweetest smile and nodded

"Sure thing, Dad," I answered assuringly.

His doubtful eyes stared at me, I know he was not convinced but I'm serious, I'm kinda not in the mood to go somewhere today so maybe next time.

" Don't try me, Cassidy," He warned, " I have my men to look after you." He said that I almost roll my eyes.

" Yes, Dad" I answered nonchalantly.

"Dad?" I called him when I noticed that he was not moving and it seems like he was not yet done showering me with his warnings, not go here, not to go there, don't do this, and that.

He looked at me and waiting what I'll say

" You're going to be late," I reminded, as a look looked at his watch telling him that he's really going to be late.

He raised his brows at me and was about to say something when his phone sounded, someone is calling. I watched him fished his phone in his pocket and answer the call.

He smiled as he listened to the person on the other line.

" Ohh, really? I'll be glad to welcome you here, how's your father? " dad asked the person he was talking to on the phone. " yes, I'll be home early then, so we could plan about that, alright, alright." Dad said before he cut the call.

I'm about to turn my back and start to take some shots again when dad called me.

" Cassidy, we'll have a visitor later afternoon and if ever I'll be late, I want you to entertain him since your mother is not around, do you understand?" He ordered with finality.

but no way.

" What? why me? you know I don't---'

he interrupted me with his warning look

'' I don't want to repeat myself, Cassidy," he said and It slowly irritates the hell out of me! It was supposed to be my rest and peaceful day!

" Okay," I said.

" Good," he nodded before he turned his back on me and headed in the direction of his car.

" Melinda!" I called out to Melinda, where the hell is my juice?! I asked for a glass of juice and why it took her so goddamn long as if she's filling up a hundred drums of it!

I saw her rushing out of the mansion and going in my direction while holding a tray with some cookies and my pineapple juice on it.

When she reached where I'm standing while catching her breath, I raised an eyebrow at her

'' I'm sorry, young lady," she said apologetically before she place the tray on the little wooden table here in the garden.

I get busied myself enjoying through capturing the magnificent view here in mom's garden, mom loves nature and so I am, I love solitude and I'm a party goer at the same time. Well, just depends on the mood.

When I got satisfied, I decided to get inside our mansion and go straight to my room to take a nap.

I took a bath quickly and wore a comfortable sling knitted top and cotton shorts before I throw myself on the soft mattress of my bed.

I woke up when I felt my stomach growled, I'm hungry. I lazily get up and I noticed that it's half past 12 in the afternoon that's why the monster in my stomach is growling since i haven't got a formal breskfast this morning.

With a messy hair, I didn't bother to change my clothes and brush my freezy hair and I also don't care, I just need food to feed my growling stomach so I went out of my room and going downstair for some food.

Halfway on the stairs, I saw one of our maid going up and she saw me and immediatly greeted me.

" Young lady, your father's guest has arrived" she informed me as she glance at her back's direction and I caught her blushing which made me raised a brow. Without an ado, I hurriedly went down and totally forget how do I look like at this very moment. I almost forgot about what dad says to me that I have to entertain his guest until he gets home.

Tss, Pleasing people is not my thing.

I went to our living room and I saw a man sitting on the couch, he's alone and his back facing against me, I saw our maids serving him and I could see them blushing even from distant.

tss, flirt.

My eyes narrowed as I slowly step forward going in his direction and I was stunned for a moment when I noticed a very famillar dirty blonde hair

in a top knot! and just that my heart gone wild and I don't evenknow why I reacted this way! i'm sure it's him.

I started to step back, no, I will not face him especially when I look like this! I should be at least presentable right?.. geez, this is so unusual me. But it's too late when a nosy maid noticed me and greeted me while plastering her wide smile while she's glancing at the man sitting comfortably on the couch from time to time. I saw her say something and my heart started to thump hard when I saw him slowly turning his head to look in my direction. I have no choice but to walk towards him and when I'm now in front of him, I can't help but to be captivate by his eyes, it's been 3 months now when I got a glimpse of his different color eyes.

Is his eyes is carrying somekind of a spell? 'cause it's doing something on my system.

He stared at me expressionless. my eyes automatically scanned him, he's wearing a dark v-neck shirt and a black pants. so casual yet he looks dashing hot!

" G-good m-morning'' I greeted, stammering.

my oozing confidents is nowhere to be found.!

I don't know if it's just me or did I really saw him smirk for a seconds?

" Good afternoon" He said in a business-like voice.

Andc that's when realization hit me, as the heat crawled up on my cheeks

Goodness!

It's embarrassing! why I become stupid whenever he's around?! this is the second time around!
