| CHAPTER FOURTEEN |
I STAYED in my room for a few hours. I peeked out the window earlier and saw them drinking by the swimming pool. They laugh except for Clyde who is just rolling the glass with only wine. He was just serious and nodded to his comrades. as if deep in thought. I’ve been in the room for almost three hours and I’m starting to feel hungry. My stomach is growling and I can’t really control my hunger so I decided to go down to eat. I’m just fast. I’m just going to eat so maybe Clyde won’t be angry. I went to the kitchen to heat the dish. I was just standing there waiting when suddenly someone entered the kitchen.
Zach and I looked at each other as he finally entered. He was still shocked when he saw me but that was immediately replaced by a smile.
“Hi Nathania!” It greeted with a smile.
“A-Ah hi!” My answer.
“Please don’t use ‘po’ to me Nathania. Just call me Clyde, okay?” He said but I’m not sure if I should just call them by their names.
I know they are business men. Also rich like Clyde.
I just nodded but didn’t speak anymore. It’s also true that the dish is already heated. I have already prepared a spoon and bowl for the dish. I felt like Zach was still behind me and just looking at me so when I finished preparing I asked him.
“A-Ah maybe you want to eat?” I will ask.
He just smiled and shook his head. “Thanks but I’m full.” He replied that I was just nodding as well.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
I sat down and just started eating. It’s embarrassing to eat while someone is watching but I’m really very hungry. While I was eating Zach sat in a chair not far from me.
“So, Can I ask?” He asked.
I nodded in response.
“What’s your surname?” He asked.
“Oliveros. My full name is Nathania Rose Oliveros.” I answered with a smile.
“Nathania Rose? Nice name.” He praised. He asked more questions and told stories. I just realized that I was laughing while talking to him. He is very nice to talk to. A bit of a joker and really fun to talk to. I just realized that I was just smiling and laughing at his stories.
He was talking about his business when Clyde suddenly entered. It was shocking when Zach and I saw each other talking. He glanced at us and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
“Clyde!” Zach stood up and called Clyde.
“What are you doing, Zach?” Clyde asked Zach seriously.
Zach looked at me for a while. “We’re just talking.” This is the answer.
“Really? Just talking?” Clyde didn’t seem convinced by the answer. I also stood up and was nervous again.
I feel like it was wrong to talk to Zach again.
“Yes! We’re just talking. Nathania is so entertaining to talk to.” Zach was smiling.
I really feel that Clyde will be angry with me again.
“Okay then. They are going home.” At this Zach nodded.
“Oh yeah. I’m leaving too.” Zach faced me. “It was nice talking to you, Nathania! See you again soon!” He said happily and went out. He patted Clyde on the shoulder but Clyde only nodded in response.
it was only a few minutes before we heard the sound of a car until it completely disappeared and moved away. Clyde just stared at me. He has that look again that indicates he is angry and annoyed.
“What did I tell you?” He asked.
I avoided looking at him and put my plate away.
“I-I just came down to eat.” My reason is now.
I’m tired of it again.
He approached me and made me face him. His hands were on my shoulders.
I immediately felt fear.
“I told you to stay in your room!” He shouted.
“I-I’m hungry so I-I went down to eat …” I stammered.
“Eh if you just get food and just eat in your room ?!”
“I’m so hungry that I didn’t think of that-”
“Really ? Or did you not think about that because you prefer to be here to flirt with Zach?!” He accused.
“I-I’m not flirting with Zach!” My answer. He laughed without humor.
“Then why are you stuttering?” He asked making my eyes widen.
I stutter because I’m nervous about you. not because I’m lying!
I want to tell him but my tongue doesn’t want to keep up.
“Just! I’m not flirting ….” I said in a low voice.
“First, Spencer. Second, Carl. Now what about Zach? Really, Nathania? How flirtatious are you?” this question made my lips part.
“What did you say?” I still asked him even though I heard what he said earlier. My head suddenly felt hot.
“You’re such a flirt, Nathania. even my friends, you don’t let me-” I didn’t let him finish when my palm landed on his cheek.
I slapped him hard.
“I’m not flirty!” I shout.
“Oh yes, you are Nathania! You’re even flirting with my friends! You’re getting close to them to-”
“I’m not flirtatious! because if I were flirting, I would be moving different men in my body! Ede, I hope you’re not the only one moving me! “I shouted in anger.
Etoh that’s it. Take out all your anger on him, Nathania!
“We don’t know. Maybe someone else is moving you-” I slapped him again.
“You’re an animal !! You’re a demon! Really ?! Is that what you think of me? Flirty ?! Even with any man moving ?! Eh if that’s how you think of me even if you don’t have the truth “All right! You want me to move anyone, huh ?!” I shout.
“You want to see me making out with Spencer?! With Carl and Zach?! You want that? You want to see me have sex with your friends?!” I shouted again making his face darken.
“Don’t you dare Nathania-”
“That’s what you want, right? I’m flirty, right? if you don’t even believe that I’m not doing anything wrong, it’s even better to do what you accuse me of!” I shouted again and left in front of him in a fit of rage, disgust, and anger.
