Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Barbara arrived home at about 4pm, she wasn't expecting that Dante is going to be at the condominium, she closed the door behind her and was heading to her door.

Where are you coming from? Dante coarse voice visit her.

Argh! She exclaimed holding her chest. Can you stop creeping on me?

I am not creeping on you. Dante speak nonchalantly, she sit to take off her shoe. Where are you coming from? That annoying voice come up again.

What's up with you? Barbara stand in anger, Dante grabbed her hand, pulled her to himself, Barbara stare at his eyes, staring back at her, he wants her lips but have to pulled away.

Sorry! He wiped his face then speak. Ethan felt you are with me and I will not be able to give an explanation if something bad happened to you while everyone thinks you are under my care.

Fine, I went out with Jeff and stop worrying about me, I am an adult, I could take care of myself.

I Know but at least, inform me. His voice is almost giving him away, he had to suppress the unknown feelings inside of him.

I will boss! Barbara added sarcastically. Have you eaten. Barbara look at him, the answer to that question is obvious, she went out, definitely, she must have eaten, he scratched his head

I know you've eaten, the thing is, I was waiting for you to come before I eat.

Uh! Barbara is confused, Dante closed his eyes, hope he is not going crazy because of Barbara or is he? Okay, let me wash up then I will join you. He nodded at her, he is sweating badly, he wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Barbara walked back to the dinning, since Dante wants to eat with her, she ate little but nothing, Dante is okay with it. After the meal, she wants to grab the plate Dante help her hand.

Don't worry, I do the dishes myself. Yet again, another sweet soul, she watch how Dante washing and drying the dishes, she didn't volunteer to join; she just wants to watch him do that.

After that, he came to join her at the couch, the young woman move to the extreme.

I don't bite, do I?

I never said so, when are you leaving? Dante stand from the couch in anger, Barbara burst in laughter, he look at her.

What's funny?

Sorry, I was only kidding, it's yours, so you could stay. Dante sit on the couch. I will be leaving today.

What? Something in him hate to see her go, he doesn't want to get separate from her, not now. Did I do anything wrong?

Nope! Dad will be back, he will get mad, if he finds out, I am not at the villa. The truth is, she doesn't want to go home but want to move to Kathleen, Jeffrey had talked her into it, the only way she could leave Dante place is this. Her phone ping, she press the end button. Stop calling me. Dante look at her, her face is turning sour, the constant call from Hazel keep reminding her of what she did to her. Her heart suddenly tremble, she is feeling tumor in her heart.

She try to control her emotions but then again, it's not working with the message she got early from Hazel, everything look bad to her. She press the couch with her strength.

Dante inched closer to run his hand on her shoulder, her tears drop this time, she have kept that morning pain in her heart without telling anyone, but now, she is hugging his hand and crying.

Claudia and Jasmine gang up on me at the resort, my strength couldn't carry the two, so I asked dad for help, in the end; dad asked Claudia to leave the resort, my sister is still very much mad at me, she felt humiliated because the guard have to throw her out, she doesn't want to eat with me at same time, since she felt that, she is grounded because of me, mom asked me to leave, I wasn't expecting that, I got mad and pour out my pain, mom is always taking side with her, I was too bitter not to react, ended up with a slap, so I had to leave home. Dante look at her. Fine, I lied, he is my adopted father, I was only two, when dad brought me home, I am not related to them, just some bloody low life, riping where I didn't sow.

Dante had never been in such a situation, where someone confide in him, he lack the right words to used, two things are in his mind, to lock lips with her or hug her.

But then he felt he had to do something, he move his hand and caress her face, she raised her head to look at him awhile his hand move from her face to her hair then press his lips on her hair.

That was the first time, a man kiss her hair, never had anyone done that for her, she remain in his hand for some minutes without anyone of them moving.

At first it's was normal for him, as time goes bye, he realized that, his body is tensing up again, he closed his eyes, like condemning himself for almost turning into a pervert.

What is it with this girl? He have never felt such a strong feelings for any woman, for years he thought he is turning into a celibate and now this, he could think straight with her in his hand.

He withdrew from her abit, not making her to understand the torture he is going through at that point in time, he need to pulled from her for his own good.

Okay! Are you okay? He asked as he adjust himself, she nodded then noticed that she

Sorry, I wet your shirt, I have ruined your clothes. Barbara said looking at him, she felt so different talking to him about her problem, though he didn't say anything but she is peaceful after that little talk with him.

Oh! Don't worry about it, it's totally fine, unless your nose water is added to it. He said looking at her with a little smile on his face.

My nose don't run when I crying? Barbara try to defend herself, his eyes twinkle, as he listens to her, a smile covered his lips

Crazy, how come he is smiling like an idiot, he hate this love nonsense that people call rollercoaster.
