Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Welcome sir! Mark greeted Larry and Lauren. Where is Mandy? Lauren asked, the man first question is always about Mandy, no one else but her.

Why is he always asking about her? If it's to know her whereabouts or maybe, he cares about her

Sorry sir, she went out with sir Kendrick. Lauren jaw tighten making the vein in his neck visible, Larry smirked falling to the couch.

Lauren hurry to have his bath, after taking his bath, he decided to join Larry at the living room.

Bro, have you create space for Tessa? Lauren didn't even remember that, he scratched his hair, which shows he haven't thought of it. Come on bro! You know she wouldn't want to stay idol and I wouldn't want her to go...

I know, so stop tormenting me like you could marry her. Larry stand in anger, hearing the last part of Lauren's words hurt his feelings. Sorry, I was just irritated. Lauren said fast, Larry nodded he is walking towards the door, the door pulled open, is Mandy, she is back but Kendrick didn't return with her, he left after dropping her at the gate.

Hi Larry! She said all smiling. Hi Mandy, you are smiling, having a good time? He asked, Mandy facepalm herself. Shy again. Larry anger has melt seeing Mandy's smiled, the young man doesn't seem to know how Mandy make things light, whenever he see Mandy's smiled is like seeing Tessa's smile

I am not shy. She hit him slightly, Larry laughed. Are you going home? Mandy sweet voice make him stop and nodded. Don't go yet, sit, I brought cake from your dad's, I wanted to bring it over but wasn't in a good mood early.

So what spoil your...

Larry! Lauren called in frustration, he smirked, Mandy didn't reply, she hurry into her room to get it, Larry have no choice than to sit, she is back with the cake.

Here, give this to Tessa.

Hm! So what about me? Larry asked, she run her hand on his shoulder.

Tessa will share with you, congrats, you two are couple now right? Mandy just guess, Larry nodded to her. That's sweet, at least you get to be with the woman you like, so you don't have to treat her like trash.

Her words hit Lauren, was he really treating her like trash, Larry move his eyes to Lauren then back to Mandy.

Ahem! Where did you go with Kendrick? Larry asked, deep down in Lauren's head, he is going to asked her about that but for now, let her enjoy her happiness and conversation with Larry.

Oh that, we want for a walk, we snapped so many pictures, he is good with the camera, the pictures are lovely, he is very friendly and I don't even know he likes to watch romantic movie or read books.

Mandy kept talking about Kendrick, Lauren fist keep clenching and unclenched in anger, Larry wanted to stop the conversation but he is not fast enough, Lauren grip her from the couch.

Lauren! Larry yelled but the man show him, his palm.

Are you by chance tempting me? Lauren voice is coarse, his eyes are burning, filled with anger and bitterness for this woman, only God knows how much he wants to strangle her, he pressed her hand.

Lauren! Larry yelled once more, he ignore him.

You freaking go out without telling me, your whereabouts and now you chitchat about gallivanting with a man in front of me

How am I supposed to tell you, when I don't have your number or even a phone? She speaks in tears, Lauren free her, she run into her room, Lauren run his hand on his neck, Larry stand to leave.

Where are you going? Larry smirked at Lauren's words.

This is not mine, so I have to go. Larry didn't wait for reply, he pack his stuff and left, Tessa bags are ranged at the living room when Larry pulled the door.

Where are you going? He asked all surprised. Your girlfriend came...

Girlfriend? Larry echoed the word, she nodded to him. What thy fuck is wrong with you? I don't freaking have a girlfriend and you know it.

Who is Sharon? Larry gulped his saliva. Who is she? Tessa words came up again, he try to adjust himself. You can't talk?

Sharon is Mandy sister not my girlfriend, maybe she wants to asked after her sister. Larry lie throw his teeth, Tessa doesn't know the reason why Sharon called early but hearing a girl's voice, she just felt that she is Larry's girlfriend.

Sorry! Hearing a girl's voice make me become insecure.

She said, Larry pulled her to himself after gasping for air, he thought Sharon had spill the beans but he have to be careful so that he could gain Tessa trust and deepen their relationship.

Babe, I have nothing to do with the girl, she is not my girlfriend but Mandy's sister.

Sorry! I was just scared when she asked about you, so I was thinking...

Shh! Stop having thought about irrelevant things...

It's not... Larry lock her lips with his to prevent her from talking more, she has no choice than to give up, she really doesn't want to argue with this man in front of her, she had to pushed him slightly.

Silly, let me get you something to eat and how was work today? Larry smiled as Tessa disappeared into the kitchen, Mandy is sitting at the dining, her eyes catch a little package on the table, she open it, even though she knew that it might not be hers, it's a small package with ribbon attached to it.

From Lauren to Mandy! That is what it's on it, it's assuredly a phone, she raised her eyebrows. A phone, he even added ribbon to it. She roll her eyes, Lauren is assuredly watching her from the side of the dining. He didn't have to give me a gift but why did he has to buy me one? Mandy is talking to herself.

What did you say? Mandy jerk, she wasn't expecting Lauren to be behind her, he ogle at her, she press her lips together to prevent herself from saying what will annoyed this man when Lauren didn't move his eyes from her.

Hm! Sir! His face darken when Mandy refer to him as sir. This is from you, right? Lauren nodded, she pushed it to him. I don't need him.

Mandy, you need it, It's for better communication, so it won't be difficult to reach you, if you don't have a phone, you need a new one.

I didn't say I don't have a phone, it's...

Really? Lauren asked place his hand in his pocket. That is not what I have seen and what I have heard, so take it.

What I mean is that, I could get myself another phone, even if it's not a smartphone, I only need it for call not like something else and I don't even have anyone to reach, so you don't have to gift me a phone and also I don't like it...

You want a more expensive one? Lauren asked, she run her hand on her hair then pushed it back in frustration.

No, I don't like it and don't like you. Mandy added, Lauren didn't see anything that dragged her liking him into this, he smirked.

What if one day, you realize that you already like, what you said you don't like. Mandy look at him, her eyes fall from his eyes to his lips, she remembers how he kissed her, Lauren was watching her, then she move her hand to her lips unconsciously, Lauren smirked more, he knows what she is thinking, he hit the table slight making her jump to reality.

Ahem! She clear her throat. I have made it clear how I feel about the phone. Mandy corrected herself, Lauren curved his lips with smile. Keep it or trash it.

Why will I trash it? You bought it, so trash it yourself.

Lauren! Why are you so persistent? If Mandy say, she doesn't want then let it go. Mandy frown, she doesn't know that she is pulling closer to Lauren.

It's good you know...

Here, this is my number. Lauren pushed the card to her, he is actually giving her, his complimentary card, Lauren turned, he has said too much for just a few minutes, he really wants to keep hearing her voice but he is afraid that he might claim her lips with his.

What will...

I don't want excuses that you out and didn't inform me. Lauren dart into the outside of the living room, she is still staring at the phone and looking at Lauren that is right opposite her but in his study now, Tessa pull the door.
