Chapter 122: Chapter 122
CIARA'S POV.
My eyes remained fixed to the ceiling while my heart pounded hard against my chest, it was close to being unbelievable, the fact that I knew evans was never the type to do such before, what had gotten over him.
My heart raced as I thought of her floras words, was he really scared of commitment? She had claimed it was normal for men who had moved by their freewill for as long as they required to and still wanted a family,
But was it so scary? We had our own fun times as well, and yes I admitted to the fact that things were not like they used to be, when it was just he and I, and we often found ourselves dropping Alfred off to someone or another whenever it was time for us to go out nowadays
What I needed, perhaps a personal nanny, I didn't want one of those of those old ladies having my son all cradled up in their arms, I could not deal with having a young woman over, I was already threatened by a Marilyn Moore level of beauty who had been working with evans, I could not tolerate any other feminine figure close to us anymore.
I was just going to deal with it in the best manner of approach, if the worst came down to being the worst, I knew I'd rather have the whole thing passed down to I and rosa as best friends, what could ever bear having your mother in law as a best friend rather than an outsider who you've known nothing about.
The creaking sound of the door made me turn stiff.it must be evans, we had security personnel and cctv cameras, there was no way that some sort of thief just strutted easily into the home, but then again, panic hit me as I thought of the chances, how slim they were, about Elena coming up to ask of the safe.
“honey?! I'm home!.” he yelled, hearing his voice cancel out all the paranoid and morbid thoughts which crawled up into my mind about Elena being a thief or hiring some men to do the dirty work, I was getting way too deep kneed in my crazy obsession over her in a negative manner.
For some reason I closed my eyes shut as the tapping of feet against the stairs drew closer. I didn't want anything that could possibly cause trouble or harm, matter of fact all I wanted was my peace and quiet.
The door pushed open and I heard his footsteps as they approached, Alfred first before me.
“You really don't think I'll believe this sly attitude of yours right?.” he asked, sweeping me off my feet with his words. I swallowed hard not getting what it was that he meant to speak on. I said nothing still and my eyes shut.
“I know you are way too pissed to sleep ciara, besides you seem to forget that you can fool anyone else but me.” I popped open my eyes, shot my gaze right at him, I shifted as I saw the smile on his face, it made me uncomfortable, he was really unbelievable.
“don't touch me.” I complained and wriggled away from his grasp.
“Ciara, don't be like this… I asked Elena to relay the information to you that I'll be staying up late…”
Only if he had not mentioned her name, then maybe we could have played pretend annoyance and laughed it off, however things got intense as soon as I heard Elena's name and I felt the anger brewed within me.
“seriously?, her?. Elena? And how come you both got so close that you speak in terms of safes now?.” a glint lit up in his eyes, the surprise kind as he slammed his hands together in a sarcastic clap.
“Only if this is not the great and mighty Ciara, being jealous of Elena? My secretary? For real?.” he asked, the more he spoke the more the more my anger issues increased, of course I was not up for all of his annoying little speech.
“I'm not jealous evans, I don't know what jealousy means to you but to me in a starting the facts here, she actually waltzed in being full of herself saying she could not relay the information right in front of flora, so of all things heck, … Elena gets to know about the safe and flora doesn't?.” I asked, my words laced with concerns, as I recalled the previous occurrence,
She just had lots of elegance to herself, the type that made me want to throw myself at her feet, I could not handle any more of her bickering or sarcasm, they pissed me off a whole lot already.
“easy love, easy, I only sent her by because first off I was way too submerged in work, it was urgent and I misplaced my phone, I would have given you a call beforehand about her dropping in, I knew it was somewhere in the office but I needed the money quick,
besides she had said she wanted to wish you well before the whole wedding process began, knowing well that she would be busy with the whole thing I had no other choice than to let her come by.'' Evans explained…he sighed and pulled closer to me.
As much as it killed me to be acting all high and great it still could not help it, I wanted my own self respect for starters.
“I'm sorry, if Elena dropping by would have caused us trouble then I certainly would not have asked her to, are we good now?.” he asked and I squinted my eyebrows, pulled away from him as a scoff escaped my lips.
“Is this meant to be some sort of joke or something?You stay out all night all day, using your job as a major excuse evans tomorrow is our freaking wedding! And you are here by nine past two in the morning, do you think for a moment about how I feel? Or you just felt it would all be good. If you come on in and tell me some wack ass sorry, that's all i'm dying to hear?.” I asked and for a moment I saw how speeches he really was, swooped right under his feet.
“I'm sorry..
I've been busy, it's for us both….”
“Spare me this lie Evans you know I said we were pushing things too fast but somehow you said it was at your stage and pace and now you are developing cold feet? Really? Either ways keep it all up to yourself I'll do as I deem fit, I'll need to sleep, I have a huge day ahead of me… that is if you aren't too busy to show up again, you might as well ask Elena for help “
