Desperately into you

CHAPTER 51

I was now sitting on one of the sofas, here in our living room.

I was still in awe and couldn’t even stop biting my lips to hide the wide smile that wanted to creep onto my lips.

Viel called me! Oh my gosh!... I could still remember how his cold casual voice turned and sounded mad when he asked me what happened and I told him I got wounded. I can’t recognize his reaction and why he sounds like that because I was clouded with the happy thought ‘cause for the very first time, he called me!... It’s just that, it last only a few minutes because I heard someone talking with him and it seems important, that’s why we cut the call.

“Ouch!”

I pursed my lips tightly as I looked down at Shawn who was kneeling in front of me, he was treating my wounds, while Belinda was again, standing in front of me as she watched how Shawn treat my wounds, and beside me was the medicine kit.

“I’m sorry, young lady,” Shawn looked at me apologetically.

I just nodded and didn’t say anything. Shawn insisted on treating my wounds and also it was the command of my hysterical reaction of a mother, when she saw me appear in our living room with those wounds on my knees, she exaggeratedly yelled at what the hell happened.

Tss… this stings a bit but this way too far to rush me to the hospital like what she decided a while ago. I almost roll my eyes while listening to her endless rants. Just like…

“Oh my goodness!... Oh my! Your skin sweetheart!... why you’re so careless, Cassidy!”

She kept on mumbling things a while ago, and I could see how her face crumpled whenever her eyes darted on my bruises, and then she’ll begin to exclaim again as she was so worried about my skin!... Well, she was asking if I’m okay, but 90% of it was all of her complaints and scolding me because I just get my skin bruises and wounds.

Well, she’s a former model., I could say that my mom takes care of her body, especially her skin! She maintained it as smooth and so soft, and because I’m her only daughter she wants to be a model too, she’s so overprotective when it comes to my figures and skin as well!

“Almost done, young lady,” Shawn looked at me and smiled.

I nodded at him and looked at Melinda, standing still like a statue in front of us.

“I’m thirsty Melinda---” She immediately cut me off and she asked.

“Juice or water, young lady?” She responded attentively.

“Pineapple juice, make it two,” I said shortly.

Melinda immediately nodded and get the juice I wanted.

I looked at Shawn when he was already putting a band-aid on my both knees and fixed those meds he used a while ago and reached for the medicine kit on my side. He put it back properly before he stood up.

“Thanks,” I mumbled.

He just smiled at me and nodded.

Shawn was about to leave but I told him to sit down ‘cause Melinda will serve us the snacks. I want him to join me though as gratitude. Only the two of us were here in the living room since Melinda was preparing our snacks and my mom wasn’t here even before Shawn started to treat my wounds because someone called her on the phone, probably her secretary and I know it was important since she was the CEO of our clothing line, definitely an important matter, that’s why I told her answered it first or better yet, talked to her secretary in her office and I assured her I so fine.

And it’s a good thing that her secretary called her to stop her ranting here.

I was pulled back in my senses when I noticed how quiet is Shawn right now. He keeps on glancing at me which made me frown.

“What’s wrong?” I asked him languidly.

“Huh?...” He asked confusingly but his both ears reddens as he avoided his gaze at me right away. “I-I, I mean, nothing’s wrong, young lady.” He continued as he gave me another smile again.

“Okay,” I said simply.

I tried to move my legs and it’s a bit fine now. This will gonna heal soon though.

I heard footsteps coming, It was Melinda.

“Here you go,” Melinda says while smiling, she places the tray of snacks on the center glass table. On the other hand, my mom didn’t come out of her office yet, It was probably important… She’s always busy anyway, much more my dad.

I boredly glance at the boring bread on the flat white plate… I miss brownies.

I offered Shawn a glass of juice and he politely accept it, unlike earlier this morning, he’s on his shirt now.

I saw Melinda glancing at him while smiling. This girl…

“Melinda…” I called her.

She instantly went near to properly heal what I’ll say.

“Make brownies later…” I said in a low tone as my eyes glistened.

Well, I still remember what had happened to Viel after he ate the brownies for him that we had made last time. Well, I didn’t know he has allergies to nuts anyway, not to mention that he intentionally ate it!... That’s insane.

But if I’ll make one for him next time, I’ll make sure that I won’t put any toppings anymore.

I bit my lower lip as one hand reached the pendant of my necklace again. How I love to caress it softly.

Melinda nodded at me repeatedly as if she will gonna do it right away if I want it right now. And as usual, she’ll not gonna let my mom see it. I know I could taste one piece in front of my mom, but because it was my favorite, one piece of it is not enough, I would enjoy devouring it until I’m full and satisfied and of course, my mom will never allow it, so… I better have a little escape.

I’ll make some for Viel, next time.
