Love Trap

Chapter 9

Blake POV

I don’t know what comes to mom’s mind and she suddenly wants to match Celine with her friend’s son. I couldn’t hide my annoyance while we’re having our lunch and to add that Celine just accepted the invitation of this guy. She just met him now and she easily accepted a date from him. She shouldn’t be entertaining him because he might think that she’s somehow interested too.

Lunch is done and we all stay at the lounge since our guests are still here. I am getting more and more irritated, whenever I see this guy secretly looking at Celine and checking her out. It’s an insult to my face to see another guy craving for my girl’s attention.

“I think Celine and I should go now.” I make myself notice to everyone.

“Why in a hurry dear?” Mom asked looking at my way.

“Because Celine needs to rest, tomorrow she will go for work again.” I said in a matter of fact tone.

“See how protective my son to his sister, he is actually staying on her place right now.  So he could watch her over and it’ll be safe for her if she’s with one of her brother.” Mom explained to our guests.

“Mom, I think Blake and I should go now because I have something to do too. Nice meeting you all, we’re going now.” Celine said as she stand from her seat and excuse herself before going to her room.

I sneak and silently followed Celine to her room, I need a word with her.  She almost jump to her surprise when I hold her arms and yank her inside her room. I immediately shut the door a little too harsh that makes her startle.

 I didn’t know that I was holding her arms that tight. I see the redness on her skin once I removed my hand. I noticed that she look scared at way I reacted and held her. I run my fingers through my hair, a sign of getting anxious.

“I’m sorry.” I almost whisper those words but I didn’t want her to get scared at me.

I open my arms and waited for her to accept my peace offering by hugging her, soon she walks and hug me back. She rested her head at the crook of my neck and I smell the vanilla scent of her shampoo on her hair. I like it this way, I want her to feel safe whenever she’s with me. I’m so stupid to react that way that causes her to get scared and put distance between us.

Thirty minutes later she’s done packing with her things, we headed to our parent’s room and bid our goodbye. My brothers left the house once they got the opportunity to do so. I took my car keys to our guard and soon we left the mansion too and drive back to Celine’s apartment.

After what happen back at the mansion, no one dare to talk while we drive home. The only thing you can hear is the music playing on the radio. I once in a while glance at her way, she looks peaceful and I like it that way.

Two hours driving and then we reached her place. She went straight at her room while I go to the kitchen and took a water to drink. Since we don’t have time to cook for our dinner now, I decided to just order for some foods. As I’m about to use her landline phone, it suddenly ring and I answer it that instantly.

“Hello.” I greet once I received the call.

“Hello? I’m looking for Celine, is she there?” I hear a guy from another line looking for Celine.

“Who called?” Celine shouted from her room.

“I didn’t know yet love but let me ask first.” I shouted back and make sure that the person calling could hear me too.

“Who is this please?” I asked sounding intimidating to scare whoever this guy is.

“It’s her boyfriend.” He said that makes my blood boils upon hearing his claim.

“I think you’ve got the wrong number, because there’s no way that my fiancé will be having an affair with someone else.” I said indirectly informing him that the woman he claims to be his girlfriend is no longer his.

“Who is this? It’s impossible that my girlfriend will cheat on me that way.” He asked irritated.

“I think you dialed a wrong number. So just hang up because I need to make an order for our dinner now, unless you wanted to do that for us.” I said mockingly.

I hear him sigh on the other line and he instantly ended the call. I smiled when I figured out that he got annoyed at me. If he ever dare to go here and ask to talk with Celine personally, I will make sure that I will give him the punch that he deserve on his face.

“So, who had just called?” Celine asked when she got into the living room.

“It’s a wrong number, looking for someone not living here.” I lied to her.

“Okay.” She replied and go to the kitchen to look for any food to cook.

“Love, you don’t need to cook. We’re both tired so I just ordered something we could eat for dinner. It’ll be here before dinner time.” I inform her.

I walked in her room and headed at her bathroom to freshen up. After bathing, I see her at the living room sitting at the coach with her legs tucked. She watching her favorite TV series when I purposely walk in her place with just a towel covering my lower part. She instantly look at me puzzled with why I’m ramping with just a towel on.

After a few minutes, the doorbell rings and walk to the door to check if it’s the delivery when she hurriedly run before me and open the door. I saw her stopped and seems like she froze on the spot where she is standing at.

“Celine.” A guy with a bouquet of flowers in his hand greeted her.

I sense her uneasiness so I walk closer to her place and caught the guy’s attention. He looked at me with a visible anger on his face as his jaw clench upon seeing me, add that I’m just covered with a towel and Celine and I both have wet hairs because we just had a shower.

“Who are you?” I asked and pull Celine closer to me.

“That’s my girlfriend you’re touching.” He said angrily.

“Don’t claim someone’s position especially if you’re no match with the person you’re talking to.” I said and landed my fist to his face.
