12- Confrontation
1051 Words
Mary was back again. In front of that building she was really starting to hate.
The last time she had presented herself there, Mattew and her vampire’s mate - yes she was growing fond of the name - kicked her out. With a twisted ankle! And now! NOW! She was standing in front of the main door under the heavy rain. What the…
- I demand to see someone right now! She shouted over the noise of the rain, in vain.
She had come to the receptionist - a different one - ten minutes ago and “kindly” asked to be put on the phone with Mattew. This one had smiled, made a phone call and told her to wait. She thought someone was coming to receive her. Oh, someone did come all right. To kick her out. Again. Into the heavy rain. Really!
Now the security guy was standing guard just inside the door, of course, away from the rain. That was enough!
- If you don’t open that door right now, I will make you lose your useless job today!
Jeez! Now she was blackmailing the bouncer. How low could a person sink? She sat on the ground with her back against the glass wall. She needed to think. She had taken Mattew's phone from Remy and tried calling him all weekend. Of course, he never picked up. She tried their old apartment, but the neighbor told her there was no one living there anymore. That was weird. She thought he loved that apartment, and it was his and his mate’s vampire’s lair. Well, she didn’t care. Her last choice was the office. She really didn’t want to have to call Samantha.
- I must be stupid. Why aren’t I calling Grandpa?
She closed her eyes and raised her head toward the sky to let the rain wash away her worries.
Suddenly, she couldn’t feel the droplets on her face.
- I rack my brain, but I can’t figure what you’re doing there, in the rain?
She didn’t need to open her eyes to know who was talking. Talk about a twin’s connection.
- Your brother kicked me out
- And you just went without fighting? Where did all the sass you gave me go? Or do you just like to sharpen your nails on me?
- don’t flatter yourself. I needed to think and calm down. I just promised your security guard to let him leave his job today.
- hum. For now get up, we need to get you inside. He said while extending his hand to her.
She took it but was surprised by the warmth of his hand. She stumbled, lost her balance and fell into his arms.
- I am so sorry! I got your clothes wet.
- Are you really sorry? Or were you making a show for the guard inside?
- Forget it! I am not sorry anymore.
She turned, but he wrenched her back, and she fell into his arms again.
- Let’s say I believed you this one time.
Then he let her follow him inside. The guard was looking at them both with surprise and fear in his eyes. Matteo stopped and turned toward the guard.
- You are fired.
And he continues to walk. She couldn’t help it and smiled maliciously when getting into the executive’s lift.
Surprisingly, he didn’t bring her to his office but to the top floor. The lift opened to reveal a penthouse.
- Wahouh! You live here? She said, looking around her.
- No. We use it when we finish work too late and when we need to be at the headquarters early. Easier that way.
- And why am I here?
- You should change your wet clothes before catching something. You will find everything in the last room of that corridor. He said, pointing said corridor.
- Wahouh! You rich people don’t play around like us. She commented before going the said way.
She found jeans and a t-shirt in the room which were still unpacked. She used a towel to dry herself and her hair before finishing it with the hair drier.
She then joined Matteo in the living room where he was waiting for her with tea.
- sit down and drink something warm.
- Thank you.
She took a sip. It was warm and tasty.
- Now. Start talking.
He was sitting opposite to her and had crossed his legs.
- So demanding.
- I can find anything I want within five minutes. Don’t waste my time.
She sipped her tea then looked at him.
- Start digging then. She said while crossing her legs too.
She had had enough of those dominating men. He tapped something on his phone. Then he started drinking his tea too. She was getting a bad feeling… And five minutes later she was proved right when she saw Mattew come out of the lift. Thoses Brothers!!!!!!
Mattew's steps slowed when he spotted her on the couch.
- What is she doing here?
- Why? You thought I would stand in the rain all day long? We aren’t in an historical show. More like an hateful one.
- I can’t believe it. You both are really a thing.
Was he doing it on purpose?
- I found her in the rain after you kicked her out.
Mattew looked at his brother with confusion.
- What are you talking about? She told you that?
- Are you going to say she lied?
- Of course she lied. Obviously, she wanted to get in your good graces.
Mary stood up.
- Waah! Were you always like this? I can understand you coming against me. Even if it was utterly childish, I could’ve tried to understand. But what did my parents do to you? Do you have to be this hateful?!
- What about your parents now? I haven't seen them since before our divorce.
- They tried to talk to you many times and you refused.
- I don’t see why I should talk to them, we are divorce. Remember?
Rhaaaah! That infuriating man.
- Don’t play dumb. You want to evict them from the home they have always had which belongs to them. Don’t you think you own them at least an explanation?
