Chapter 45: Chapter 45

“What you did today was very low. I did not know you were this immature.” Olivia said with an annoyed tone and expression as they entered the villa.

She could not believe that he would be so childish. For what reason? She could not understand at all.

The entire time Leo was with them, he wither scoffed discreetly at whatever he was saying or ignoring his existence. The poor guy did not stay for long. He excused himself as soon as they were done with the lunch.

He even paid for the lunch which seemed to irk Thomas even more for some reason.

“I don’t like anyone ruining my plans. And I am immature? Who was giggling with that stupid boy like some schoolgirl?” Thomas was about to go straight to his room when Olivia interrupted him. Only he knew how much he wanted to leave but stayed just for her. And now she was calling him immature.

Olivia’s expressions changed in nanosecond. It got cold from annoyed in no time.

“Nobody ruined your plans. You could have left as soon as he was there. You were not needed by the way.” She did not know what came over her but him calling her a schoolgirl made her angry to no end.

It was never his words that struck deep inside of her. It was always the way he said it. It was like he was insulting her.

What did she say for him to be so worked up? It was the truth.

She was meeting her friend after years. She was so surprised and excited to meet him, but he had to ruin everything. Leo could not even talk to her properly without his eyes drafting towards Thomas every now and then. He was acting like a big baby all the while.

On the other hand, Thomas wanted to smack the wall. He was angry at himself now. He had to go through all that shit only for her to say he was not needed there.

She did not let go of any opportunity to make him feel worthless. Like he was nothing but someone who imposed himself on her. Like she was someone who he had to listen to no matter what and still keep up with her. And he was doing just that.

What had he gotten himself into?

Without a word, he left for his room slamming the door behind him. Olivia felt like the whole building shook with the impact. Her heart jumped at the sound.

She sat on the couch after getting a hold of herself. She sighed grabbing her head in her hands.

Where was she wrong for him to react that way? He was the one who got on her nerves every second her childhood friend was with them. He was the one who left the restaurant telling her to follow him like some puppet and went straight to the villa. He was the one who sat in the car like some sulking child the entire time ignoring her existence. He was the one who cancelled all his plans only to put the blame on her.

She did not know a fake marriage also had its problems. They were just partners. What was the need to fight? She just wanted them to mind their own business and be away from one another. This whole honeymoon idea was ridiculous. She should not have agreed to it at all.

It was just the first day of their “honeymoon” and the environment was already tense.

She got up shaking her head and went to her own room. After taking a quick shower, she opened her suitcase to come face to face with at least a dozen lingerie’s. She wanted to smack her face or Sana’s if she was there, that is.

She did not even know she had that many lingerie’s in her wardrobe. She was surprised at Thomas as he was the one who had made the list of the things she needed for Camila to shop. Or at least that was what his PA told her. Could he have included them as well in that list?

She doubted it as neither were they a real couple nor Thomas seemed like someone who would do that.

But what was it to her what kind of a person he was? He showed clearly how immature, insensible, impolite, rude, and annoying he was.

She grabbed a random one and wore it with a sigh. It was not like Thomas would come into her room, especially after the fight they had. It was a one piece black lingerie which was somehow wearable as it had flower patterns all over that exposed less skin.

She was not used to wearing them. God knows how much she missed her cotton shirt and pants at that moment. Thomas did not even give her a chance to go to the nearest mall and shop a few nightwear. He even made the driver leave in anger after he dropped them off. Now, she had no choice but to wait for his return so she could go with him.

It was her first time out of the country. She was hesitant to leave and explore on her own despite how tempting that was concerning the situation she was in with Thomas. She wanted to be miles away from him, but she could not have that privilege.

She grabbed her phone with the intention to call her mom, but her face fell after finding out that it was dead. She forgot to charge it. Her mom would be worried about her as she had told her what time she would be reaching the country.

She quickly plugged in the charger and decided to take a nap till it got charged. It was the second time in the day she was taking a nap. She was that tired.

She closed her eyes and slept in no time.

Thomas’s POV:

It had been fifteen minutes since he was pacing around his room without taking a break. Whatever he did, the anger was not leaving his being. He had given her a lot of liberty to play with him, and she was taking complete advantage of it. Never in his life did someone belittle him as much as she did.

Didn’t he mean anything to her? Didn’t she feel anything for him?

There he was trying his best to make her feel comfortable and changing his ways, but she was not doing any of that. She made sure to show how much she disliked him.

He sighed sitting on the bed. He wanted to smash everything in the room as soon as he came inside his room, but he controlled himself. Amelia had told him Olivia was sensitive. He did not want to hurt her, but she was testing his limits.

He was busy calming himself down when he received a call on Whatsapp. He reminded himself to get a SIM card.

It was Amelia who was calling. He frowned, ‘Why was she calling him?’

“Hello?” He normalized his tone and greeted her. He heard a sigh on the other end.

“Hello, Thomas? Thank God, you picked up. Olivia’s phone was unreachable that was why I called you. Is she okay?” Amelia asked in a worried tone. He was aware of her love for her daughter.

“Yeah Mrs. Anderson. She is okay.” He said with a gentle voice.

“Great. Is she around? Can I talk to her, please?” She asked with a hopeful tone. Thomas was thoughtful for a second.

Should he say she was not around? Then she would worry more where she was and ask him about it. He could not trouble her.

But he also did not want to go up to her and act like everything was fine. He did not want to give her the idea to treat him the way she liked, and that he would take it everytime.

“Thomas?” Amelia called when he did not respond. He sighed and got up.

“Yeah. She is in the kitchen. Let me bring the phone to her.” He lied ascending the stairs and went to stand behind her door.

He knocked a few times, not too loud fearing Amelia would hear it. He had to go along his lie that she was in the kitchen.

Olivia did not open her door. He frowned opening the door slightly. It was so quiet as if she was not in the room.

He entered the room and spotted her on the bed sprawling in nothing but a balck, skimpy lingerie.

His eyes almost popped out of its sockets as he saw her alluring body displayed in such a way that it left little to the imagination.

Her one leg was straight while the other was bended as she laid on her stomach. Both of her hands were under the pillow. Her curves were so visible and beautiful. She looked so relaxed and peaceful, but she sure as hell was snatching away his peace at that moment.

How could he keep his hands and thoughts to himself when she was a walking and sleeping temptation every fucking minute?

He went to her bed looking at her face that looked so cute. She had her lips in a pout like a little child. Her hair was on her face which he brushed away gently. She was calling him to plant his hungry lips on her cute and plump ones. He held himself back though.

He covered her body with the covers and tried his best not to look. For a fuck-boy like him, it was very unusual how he was being with her. He switched the AC on so she would not feel hot.

“Hello?” He heard Amelia’s voice from the phone snapping him out of his thoughts. He had completely forgotten about the call.

“Um, yeah Mrs. Amelia, she is taking a shower. I will tell her to call you later. She is okay. Don’t worry.” He scratched the back of his head as he said it while looking the sleeping figure of the tigress.

She was a tigress indeed—always ready to pounce on him. If someone saw her in such a peaceful state, they would not believe she would do something like that.

“Okay, Thomas. Enjoy your time you two.” She heard her smiling voice and ended the call after thanking her.

‘Enjoy? Your daughter is making me enjoy a lot indeed.’ He thought sarcastically shaking his head. His eyes went to her face again.

There was so much attraction. It was as if her lips and eyelids and cheeks were begging to be kissed. He closed the distance a little and leaned on his arms to look at her features with more proximity. Her eyelashes were darker and longer than he had thought. Her skin looked so soft with a few freckles decorating her cheekbones. He did not know she had freckles. Although they were faint, they still looked cute. Her nose was a small and cute one. Her lips…so pink and shiny.

He was feeling like a creep again staring at her while she was unaware. He straightened himself and exited the room but not before leaving a soft peck on her forehead.

He himself was not even aware of what he was doing.

He was not aware of what he was getting himself into.
