1084 Words
CHAPTER 7 Natalie's POV I didn't realize I had fallen asleep till the dampness of my clothes starts to make me shiver. "Damn it." I wake up to the biting cold and goosebumps spread on my body. One of the wash bottles had fallen and gotten stuck in the drainage hole of the washing hand basin, and the water had run over. What an hassle! I take my time to clean the bathroom and also take my bath while I change my sanitary pad. I'm so famished but I have nothing other than the high sugar snacks and chocolate in my bag. I should get something to eat. I feel refreshed from the bath and the air from.thw comfortable honey clothes I changed into. It's a pair of Stylocity coudrey short and a bra top. With comfortable honey flops, but as soon as I step out of the room, I'm reminded of he incident that happened a few hours ago. And my mood immediately turns sour. I however make my way downstairs and to the living room until I find myself in the kitchen where there is a new voice different from Aaron's and Axel's. And I know it's definitely not a maid or servant, because they aren't allowed to make such noise. So it's probably a new face in the house. "Oh my, you didn't tell me you had such a beautynin the house." I heard someone's voice and I turned to the direction of the voice. "What beauty, do you mean headache." Axel cut in and I turned to his side. "Geez bro, you got to calm down. Take some chill pill, bro." Aaron comforted him by his side and just in time, the new face turned of the cooking gas and opened the pot just in time for the aroma to waft in through my nose. I take a deep breath. "Spaghetti, my favourite." I find myself saying after my grumbling stomach decided to embarass me. "Let's eat something beauty, cos I might just eat you instead." The new face says and I can tell already that he is a very interesting personality. I find my gaze stuck on him with a small smile on my face. "I'll take it that that drool is for me, you can have me instead of the spaghetti la belle." He said I find myself bringing the back of my right palm up to the side of my lips. "Damn it, you got me." I tell him and we both chuckle. Aaron joins in as well and I find myself looking up to Axel, but he has a frown on his face instead. "Let's eat something before you eat me and as much as I'd want to be served to you for dinner, I'd rather you eat this for strength first. I'm Jared." He said with an oustretched arm for a shake. And I find myself in a hurry to shake him. "Tch." I hear Axel's scoff but I proceed to ignore him instead. "Natalie, but you can call me Nate." I tell him as we walk towards the dinner table. "Hmm, I feel full from hearing your name." He says and I find myself blushing as I settle down. The food looks so good, but as I take a taste from it, I immediately regret it. Is this supposed to be a plate of spice or spaghetti?! It's just full of pepper which is not good for me. I f*****g have stomach ulcer and can't eat spicy food. But I can't bring myself to not continue this meal. He flirted so well with me that I want to eat the food for him rather than reject it for myself. But two spoons in, my stomach is already rejecting it. And I'm about to ask for a cup of milk from one of the maids standing afar when Axel decides to be his annoying self again. "Did you really let that Rodney guy into our room to install that thing or you're going to pretend like you know absolutely nothing about it again?" He asks and I almost choke on the hot and spicy spaghetti in.my mouth. But I won't give him a chance to talk down to me this time. He is not the only one suffering here I am too. Axel's POV She looks like she's about to choke and it's literally the reaction I have been waiting for since. Who does she think he is to let him hold his hands just like that?! "Just who do you think you are to keep talking me down about this, uhn?" She lashes back at me and I notice a slight discomfort in her facials, but it's probably from her anger. And it is until she pointed it out that I remembered that I had gone too far with my words. I only said that to make Jared steer clear of her. Because as much as I don't want to admit it, I feel possessive of her and I know any guy would if they were in my shoes. "Well I…" I want to say something, but she cuts me short and continues. But not just with words, rather with actions. Natalie bangs her palm on the dinner table and stands up without a care in the world whether the chair that toppled over broke or not. "I got betrayed by my friend and now we are in this mess, but is that the only thing you're going to be thinking of? Or is it my fault that I didn't suspect a friend who I thought I knew for ten years?" She asks with her tones raised high and I can tell that she's hurting. "I didn't mean to…" I try to explain, but she's not having it, so I stand up as well to maintain my stance. "Oh please, not after everything you said. And I'm rejecting your offer of not being a part of this, because we will both find a solution to it and go our separate ways after." She says and squints. Is she about to cry again or what?. At this point, I'm honestly concerned, but Jared immediately shuts me up as soon as I open my mouth to speak. "Oh my princess I can't let you get stressed like this. I would go get you some milk, or why don't we have some private time together in the kitchen." HE says and ushers her back to the kitchen.
