He was looking at me confusedly for a few seconds, then he spoke.
“I will start working towards that as soon as I could go out.” He said calmly.
“I need to go home now!!!” his calm and relaxed way of speaking made me even frustrated.
“You know we can’t do that.” His voice was the same as earlier.
“Then right after this bloody rain stop and that fu**ing bridge get cleared from flooding, I want to go home,” I yelled.
“Getting you home is not that simple, Hailey. As soon as those conditions are satisfied, I can’t take you home.” He said.
“Why? Do you afraid that those people would attack you as well because you helped me? ” I asked angrily, and I gave the reply to my own question without letting him uttering a word.
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to take me home. Just put me on a bus or a train to go to the nearest city. I can manage after that. Of course, I need some money from you. I will return your money as soon as I get home!” I kept on saying those stupid ideas that were making me overwhelm…
He looked at me with wide eyes… Then he chuckled…
“Really, you can manage after that. FYI we are nearly a thousand miles away from your home!” when he said, my jaw dropped to the floor!
What the fu**! Thousand miles?
Why did they take me that far? Couldn’t they find a place somewhere closer?
“I can take you to the nearest city, which is also approximately 50 miles away. But there are no trains, just buses and you can’t take a single bus to your hometown as well. Actually, your journey may include a few bus rides, train rides, and maybe ferry rides too…” he said with a teasing smile on his lips.
What? Where the fu** am I? Did they bring me to another country?
I was just staring at him annoyingly… I know he has nothing to do with where those people wanted to keep me, but I was getting angry with him even for that…
“Hailey…” then he said, giving me a serious look.
I looked at his eyes with the same annoying look.
“I can protect you until you get home. I can assure you that. Also, you can stay here freely without any worries. So, why can’t you just give me a few days to solve this issue?” he asked.
I laughed like I got crazy. His lips stretched with annoyance…
“I can just stay here until you solve this issue. But my problem is what your wife and if you have kids then they would think about you staying with a girl who is about half age of yours in a house in nowhere… ” I said, carefully looking at his face to observe how his facial expressions get changed.
His whole face clearly showcased how angry he became after listening to me. If he could kill me with just his look, he would have killed me already.
“Half of my age? You think I am that old?” he asked, furiously.
No! You don’t look old by any means… I just wanted to tease you. Who thought you would just hang on that? Before I could turn my thoughts to words, he spoke again…
“Why bring my wife to this?” he asked,
"Because if I were your wife, I won’t stand it when you spend days with a girl in a house thousand miles away from home. Your wife is also a woman. No doubt she thinks the same way. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone. Above everything, I don’t want to become a reason your wife would suspect you!” I shouted at him angrily.
He looked taken back by my reply. But with a few seconds, his shock turned to anger… His lips pressed tightly together, and he was staring at me with wide eyes.
He tightly squeezed my chin and made me look at him… Since I met him till this very second, he was always gentle with me. His every touch was so carefully made.
But now, his fingers were cutting through my flesh, hurting me a lot…
His blue globes focused on mine. The anger and the disappointment were clearly written in them…
“I will take care of my private matters. You don’t have to worry about those. So fu**ing stop whining and give me some time to work this out!” he yelled furiously…
I could understand his anger… I am staying under his roof, getting his protection. Yet I am making him pissed off…
But the harsh way he treated me, put me in a confused state… From one side, I was heartbroken because he yelled at me. I want him to treat me in the same gentle way…
But from the other side, I was happy because he was not ready to just give up on me, even thinking about his family…
After saying those words, he left the room… I again lied on the bed and cuddled a pillow getting ready for the second round of crying…
*************************************
The next morning, I woke up with a terrible headache thanks to crying and an empty stomach. I washed my face and changed my clothing. Then went to the pantry, smelling the pancakes… Even with this smell, I can tell his pancakes are so damn delicious… Even if they are not delicious, I was ready to eat. I was starving…
“Good morning.” He said, having his back turned to me…
I greeted him back and let out a sigh… Why couldn’t he just wore the towel like yesterday, I thought, looking at his sweatpants and T-shirt…
“How is your ankle now. We couldn’t apply any balms yesterday.” He said, turning to me. He looked so fresh and even more handsome… He was like he has forgotten every single thing that happened last night…
I just smiled…
“You eat first… Then I will apply some balm…” he suggested. I didn’t say anything.
We both ate silently… I was right, the pancakes were delicious… Isn’t it enough for you to be so hot, and so caring? Why do you have to be one of the best chefs as well? I thought, looking at him from time to time…
When I come to the pantry in the morning, I kind of had made up my mind to accept the reality and support him to take me home in the most suitable way. But when I spend time with him, observing how perfect he is, I was again getting frustrated…
Whatever he does, being rough or gentle, he is just making me fall for him over and over again… I couldn’t understand the reason I am getting this attracted to this man this much.
I quickly got up from my chair… “I am done,” I said, pushing my plate a bit away.
He gave me a doubtful look and then looked at my plate… There were few pieces of a pancake…
“Why didn’t you eat completely?” he asked concernedly.
“Because I don’t like pancakes…” I said when my tummy was yelling at me to have more of those delicious pancakes…
“Sorry… I didn’t know that.” He said in an apologetic voice.
I felt so bad… Why the fu** I am making trouble for this awesome human being?
But without saying anything, I just walked out…
I directly went to the living area and lied down on the couch…
After like 5 minutes, I heard the noise of him doing dishes and cleaning…
I know I am being just stupid and unbelievably selfish… Even I don’t know why I wanted to be a bit*! Hurting him doesn’t give me anything, other than more pain…
He came to me after a few minutes. He had that same balm he applied on my ankle earlier…
Without even talking with me, he sat down beside me and touched my ankle gently…
I took my leg up, giving him an annoying look.
He seemed so confused.
“No need to apply balm!” I said coldly.
“Why?” he asked.
“Because it doesn’t hurt.”
“Then why you still limp?”
I had no answers to give…
“It hurts just a little bit. No need to apply the balm.” finally, I said firmly.
He stared at me for a few seconds, then he held my leg from my knee and made me put down my leg on his lap. I tried to move my leg, but his grip was so firm…
“Let me do this!” the dominance in his voice made me obey him like a small puppy…
Indeed, when he is rough, it makes my heartbreak, but in the meantime, there is something I feel that cannot be described… Anyway, that is closer to pleasure than pain…
******************
After treating my leg, he started to work on his files again… I was getting so bored without having anything to do. He gave me some books to read. But I was not in a mood to read…
I just wish, he at least had a television!
“You want coffee?” he asked after like an hour…
I just shook my head… But I was craving a coffee at that time. Yesterday, when I made coffee, he made fun out of me. So, I didn’t want to have a coffee he makes…
However, within a few minutes, he placed a hot coffee on the table. Then without saying anything, he went back to his work.
No matter how much I wanted to have the coffee, I controlled myself. I saw how he looked at me from time to time and releasing sighs…
He may be wondering what has happened to me. But I don’t care. He is guilty of not telling me he is married…
“Hailey. I am going to prepare lunch, if you are bored, you can come and help me.” He said after some time.
“I am not bored.” I simply said and looked away.
But I was bored as hell, and after Kai went to the pantry, I started just roaming in the house without any aim...
When I was walking like this, I came near to Kai's room. It was the last room in that corridor. I got a sudden urge to go and see his room...
Since Kai is preparing lunch, he won't even notice...
I turned the doorknob and opened the door.
I was actually shocked by how clean and tidy that room looked. It was a spacious room. But there was only the essential furniture... Anyway, without a doubt, he has spent a fortune on this room for interior design...
Admiring the beauty of his room, I walked near to the window. Then leaning to the window, I looked back at the room. Then only I saw the big portrait on the wall, just above the door. It was a portrait of his wife...
I felt like my whole body getting burning...
Same time, the door opened, and Kai entered the room, having his face turned red...
"What the fu** you are doing here?" I got startled when he shouted at me.
"I...I... "I was stuttering without knowing what to say.
"Get out of my room! You are not allowed to enter here, fu**ing remember that! " he then yelled at me...
My eyes filled with tears...
I hurried to the door and got out of his room as quickly as possible. He closed the door behind me and grabbed my hand as I tried to go away from him.
"Hailey..." his voice was filled with regret...
I looked at him with my tear-filled eyes...
His eyes got clouded and his lip corners turned downwards, showing he also didn't enjoy yelling at me...
I can understand him getting angry when someone came to his room without his permission. But the way he shouted at him. How he looked a few seconds ago...
He totally looked like a monster...
"I accidentally came to your fu**ing room!!! If you get this angry for that, why you keep me in your house anymore..." I yelled at him.
"I am sorry for yelling at you. I don't like anyone coming to my room. Please understand..." he said, holding me from my shoulders and peeking into my eyes.
Without saying anything, I struggled to come out from his hold, But that was impossible... He was holding me so tightly...
"Now forget this, okay... Let's go have our lunch..." he said, caressing my face...
Staying in his arms and having him gently caressing my face made me feel I am special to him... But the next moment, my mind filled with that big portrait of his wife... I am not special to him by any means...
"I don't want your fu**ing lunch!!! I wish I didn't escape from those people. " I screamed.
