Chapter 8: Monthly visitor 2
1755 Words
The doors were opened for Felix and I and I didn’t hesitate to come out of the car.
The pains came with a mightier force and I had to trace my steps into the house, feeling so weak.
I walked past the sitting room and took the stairs immediately and shortly, I was in my room.
I weakly got to the bed and sat on it, leaning my back against the wall. I held my tummy tight and closed my eyes.
It kept hitting at me and didn’t just come and go like it used to.
I felt like crying, but I didn't.
Shortly, I heard the door open and opened my eyes to see Felix coming in. What is he doing here? He didn't even knock. I stared at him as I watched him come closer, waiting for him to tell me the reason why he is in my room. I know he is the one that owns the house but is this how rich people behave?
Oh, God! Please, please;
Make him leave. I really don’t want him around me in a time like this.
I tried not to show any sign of discomfort on my face, but the cramps came again with a double force and a light moan escaped my lips.
"Does it hurt"? Felix asked as he stood in front of me, his both hands inserted in his trouser pockets.
What?
I gulped nervously and stared down at the bed. How can he ask me such a question? What is he doing here in the first place?
He turned around and left the room without saying a word.
Yeah, perfect!
"Ouuuchh" I cried and hit my hand on the wall. What should I do? The pains were becoming unbearable. I leaned my head helplessly on the wall again and shut my eyes.
After a while, the door opened and I opened my eyes and discovered it was Felix. I was forced to scream at him but I held myself back and wondered why he came back. He should at least knock. I felt like punching him but restricting myself. I'm really weak, so weak. I looked at him again.
Hold on!
He was with….with a bottle of water…a water that seemed hot. I watched in bemusement as he came up and sat in front of me on the bed.
“Here, use this. It should help” he said calmly, holding out the bottle of water to me. I collected it sluggishly, feeling surprised and confused at first.
How did he know about this?
“Thanks” I muttered lowly and placed the bottle on my tummy. He stood up and left the room again and I exhaled deeply as he did. But…how did he get to know about this method? And did he really make it for me?
The pains couldn’t let me think much about it as they almost drove me crazy. Oh God! The pains were still there.
I’m so dead!
I sighed despondently and placed my head on the wall in such a way I could stare at the ceiling. What do I do to get rid of these pains? Why do I have a feeling this was part of God’s punishment to Eve?
After a while, the door opened with Felix coming in again.
“Does it still hurt?” He asked and I didn’t even realize when I nodded pathetically.
Then, he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out some drugs.
He pulled out two tablets from a pack and took a bottle of water from the table. After which, he came to sit in front of me on the bed.
“Take this” he said as he stretched out the tablets and water to me.
It was aspirin.
Oh my!
“Sorry, I…I’ve been advised not to…”
“I know. Just this once” he cut me off calmly.
Hold on; is this really Felix? Does he really care about me? I'm sure his wife isn't at home for him to have time for me. I batted my lashes as I collected them from him and swallowed it down.
“Thanks” I replied and handed the water to him.
“You should get some sleep. It might help, ” he said and I nodded and laid upwards on the bed.
Surprisingly, he moved close to me and placed my head on his legs.
Whaaaaat?
On his legs?
Felix?
I looked into his face in disbelief. What is he doing? “Go on, sleep” he said tenderly and I forced my eyes closed.
Was this really Felix or an impersonator? Is he trying to take advantage of me again? But he said once. Once and that's all.
I felt my heart thumping fast.. It was strange and incredible. I have been feeling an emotional connection for him since he disvirgined me. But he is a married man. I wouldn't wish this for myself.
And I thought he was having an appointment by 3? It should be close to 4 pm by now. How come he’s still here?
Does it mean he missed the appointment?
My head on his legs almost made me quiver as it felt strange.
I tried not to open my eyes because I couldn’t even bear to look him in the face. The pains were still hitting me, but I couldn’t feel the effect like I did the first time. I suddenly started feeling calm and unconsciously, I slept off.
*******
Hours Later.
******
I opened my eyes and felt myself still lying on the bed.
The room was dark and I reached for the light switch close to the bed and turned on the lights.
Then, I checked the wall clock and discovered it was pretty late already.
Oops! No wonder the room was dark. Oh My God.. Does it mean I missed my class? My first class.
I sighed in frustration and touched my forehead. Where could Felix be? Is his wife back?
The pains…they were no longer there. I couldn’t feel them anymore. Hah! Thank goodness. I left the bed and went into the bathroom to wee.
Geez! My panties were totally wet.
I took off everything, all my clothes, and took a bath.
Then, I took care of myself and found something simple to wear before going out of the room. I walked along the corridor and realized the mansion had so many wings and maids were going and coming from different places. I always request my food to be served in my room. I can't eat with them in the dining room when his wife knows what I did.
I thought of going to the balcony when I saw Felix's wife and a guy walking up the stairs. She saw me and paused to look at me.
"Your Highness". I bowed and raised my head up to study her. When I realized she was still staring at me, I had no choice but to look down.
"Hi. I'm Maxwell, Felix's cousin and you?" He said, extending his hand for a handshake. I accepted the handshake "I'm Mary, Felix's assistant. Nice meeting you" I replied politely. He smiled and kissed my hand.
"What a nice name". I blushed and retrieved my hand from his. Is Felix's family always flirtatious? Felix's wife scoffed and I turned to look at her. For a second, I forgot she was there.
"b***h". I heard her mutter under her breath before walking ahead of Maxwell.
"Stephanie, that isn't nice". Maxwell called out and ran after her.
I heaved a sigh of relief and proceeded to the balcony. She called me a b***h. Circumstances made me this way. I have passed through a lot in this life to get distracted or hurt by some words.
I went out to the balcony and there I found Felix, sitting and drawing on a drawing board.
Huh?
He draws?
He turned and shot me a stare when he felt my presence.
“You’re awake?” He smiled and took his eyes back to the board.
“Y…yeah” I stuttered a little, bedazzled at the beauty of the drawing.
It was an image of a pathway – a beautiful one.
“You um…you’re an artist?” I asked, still standing behind me.
He chuckled.
“Yeah – kind of” he replied and a brief silence stepped in.
There was a table in front of the board and on it were different drawing materials.
So, he was an artist?
And I also saw a little red flower there on the table.
Well, the drawing was enchanting.
"So, how’re you feeling now?". He asked and it snapped me out of my thoughts.
“Um..I’m fine now. Thanks” I replied and he didn’t say anything for a while.
“Okay then. I need to work on something else” he said as he dropped his pencil on the table and stood up…with the red flower.
Huh? He’s leaving?
“Um…Felix” I called as he turned around and faced me. "Thanks for everything. I have been giving admission and you accepted me as a P.A in your company without any qualification. I really appreciate".
He chuckled, "It's nothing. I didn't do it for free tho". Yes, he didn't do it for free but I had to thank him for everything. Isn't that too much for a V card? I wondered.
Adding to my shock, he fixed the pretty flower into my hair.
What?
“Don’t smile at every guy. I don't like it ”. He added with a smile and walked away.
I stood like a ghost and couldn’t move for a moment – transfixed with shock.
Did Felix just…
No;
I’m probably dreaming.
I slowly turned but couldn’t find any trace of him again.
Did…
Did he just fix a flower on my hair? And did he just warn me not to smile at any guy? He doesn't like it? What does it mean?
But a guy can't tell me not to smile at everyone unless he…
Oh, my God.
I touched the flower in my hair and a tear escaped my eye, tracing a path down my cheek. This is the first time I will feel a bit loved. The whole thing was incredible to me.
Felix was… a bit more flirty. I thought he would ignore me since what happened but he didn't. I chuckled as another tear came rolling down. I smiled and wiped it off.
