? Chapter seven [ 7 ] ?
? Ethan ?
I can’t believe Daniel chose Annalisa over me to be the first to see him after what happened . I thought maybe he would choose me to be by his side because that’s what buddies do .
I couldn’t sleep the
whole night , I kept tossing and turning thinking off Daniel but more importantly Isabella . I know I have wronged her but sometimes she annoys me to an extend that I hate Being around her .
My mother was acting strange at the hospital Altogether with Annalisa . I wonder if they are behind Daniel’s behavior because last time I checked Annalisa and Daniel hate each other then what is this ? Everything has turned into a mess after what happened to Daniel and Annalisa haven’t said anything to me .
The next day I woke up to the sound of Cassandra shouting her lungs out asking for Daniel . I just lied on my bed with a blank face thinking off how I’m going to explain everything to Cassandra .
I took my time showering and getting ready for work . Cassandra’s voice finally got lower and I took that as a good sign as I went downstairs .
When I got there I found Cassandra sitting on the high chairs with a serious face . I couldn’t see Hayden or Isabella anywhere which was a surprise to me .
” Why is Daniel acting strange all of a sudden? He doesn’t want to see me at the hospital ” Cassandra muttered the Minute I entered the kitchen for coffee .
” I don’t know too Cassandra . He has been acting like that since yesterday . I’m as confused as you are ” I replied softly , trying my best not to snap at her . I hate that she is questioning me instead of Annalisa .
” You are hiding something from me Ethan . I love Daniel and he loves me too , you know that right ?”
” I know Cassandra but I dont really know the truth behind Daniel’s behavior . I’m still on it ”
” You should have seen his face when he saw me . He screamed for the nurses that I’m going to hurt him “: Cassandra whispered sadly .
“I wish I can help you Cassandra but for now stay away from Daniel . The doctor advised us that the only person he wants around is Annalisa “I pointed out factly.
” What ? Annalisa ? Daniel doesn’t even like being around Annalisa then what is this I’m hearing ” she frowned in confusion.
” I’m surprised too . I even asked the doctor why but he said it was for best . Daniel even threatened the hospital for not giving him some time alone with Annalisa .” I confessed . That’s what the doctor told me yesterday after I left the hospital . He called me and told me everything .
” Annalisa Richmond ? That $lut ! What did she do to my Daniel ?”Cassandra stood up quickly ” I will come back later after you have brought Daniel home from the hospital . I’m late for work !” She took her purse and suitcase as she walked out of the room . I sighed in relief that she finally left because she is too investigative .
I don’t know where to start to fix this mess because the doctor refused to give me more information about Daniel’s health and he said it’s confidential . This is indeed fked up .
I poured myself some coffee and I slowly walked in the lounge only to find the sofa Isabella was supposed to sleep in last night empty. My eyes scanned the room in panick . Where is she ? I just hope she didn’t run away or maybe she is somewhere in the house .
” Are you looking for me ?” Isabella said behind me . I quickly turned around . ” Already missing me ?”
” What the heck Isabella ? This is not a hotel where you can walk around with a towel covering your body . ” I said angrly ” Hayden also stays here . ”
” Well , Hayden is out shopping for my clothes and I’m just loving the fresh air ” she raised her hands up ” Don’t you feel it too ?” He hair hanging loosely with some droplets of water on it .
” I’m going to work ” I cleared my throat ” Enjoy your fresh air in peace .” I grabbed my cellphone and car keys on the kitchen counter then I left . She didn’t say anything to me as she watched me leave and I wish she could have stopped me .
Isabella is driving me insane . I can’t believe she chose to roam around the house with a towel around her body . That’s like punishing me. I almost kssed her right then but I held myself back . Her pink lips and her nice curvey body kept bothering my thing so my only option was to get out of there before I did something stupid.
Now Isabella is stuck in the house with all of us because Hayden already knows that Isabella is my cousin whilst she isn’t . I couldn’t tell him the truth about Isabella because he could have disrespected her just like he disrespects other ladies from poor families . I’m hoping my secret stay hidded until I find a way to get rid of Isabella .
? Cassandra ?
Daniel is getting in my nerves with this issue he is having . He has totally changed to a new person that I’m finding hard to get close to . I love him so much but he keeps telling the nurses and doctors that the love of his love is Annalisa .
I’m confused and angry at the same time because Daniel is all over Annalisa . Daniel and I have been together for the past 5 years and he is the only man I see a future with .
” Girl , Are you okay ? You have been staring at the door for the past five minutes !” My friend , Kiki snapped me out of my thoughts.
” I’m fine Kiki . I’m just worried about Daniel . He has been acting strange lately” I replied as I just poked my food with my fork . We are already having lunch and all I can think off is Daniel .
” Don’t tell me he cheated because I will rip off his balls with my own hands . I knew he was going to cheat from the day I saw him ”
” Noo….he has changed into someone strange . Like he doesn’t feel me anymore and this thing is bothering me . It’s making me sad ”
” What? Has he found someone stupid to fuck . I can’t believe that guy . He wasted 5 years of your life !” Kiki responded easily not getting the point.
” You know what I will get to the bottom of this myself and don’t have worry about it okay ” I stood up and went straight to my office to plot my plan .
Kiki can sometimes be a useless friend and co-worker because she is always over thinks things fast . She is too forward and too loud. I can’t trust her with anything because she is also a friend of Annalisa . Annalisa and I have never been friends because she is rich and well , I’m not poor but my parents don’t have the money that Annalisa’s parents have so yah , basically school was hard for me when I used to attend it with Annalisa before I changed schools at the age of 15 and that’s how and where I met Daniel .
Something has indeed made Daniel behave like this . I can’t lose the man of my dreams to some $lut called Annalisa . She is going down ! The fight is on . Daniel is mine.
? Hayden ?
After a long day of shopping for Isabella . My legs were hurting and I came to a realization that shopping is more worser than working the whole day .
I bought some random clothes not knowing if Isabella likes skirts or dresses , high shoes or boots. It was so damn hard for me to choose but I managed .
When I got home I found Isabella wearing Ethan’s shirt as usual and that got in my nerves. She should have dug in my wadrobe for clothes rather than Ethan’s saggy old clothes .
” Finally you have arrived !” Isabella met me at the door and helped me with the bags of clothes I bought for her ” You are such a life saver . I was dying to own my clothes after I lost my bags at the airport ” she hugged me then ran upstairs with the bags of clothes . I took my time walking in the lounge.
I just threw myself on the couch and pulled off my boots . Isabella told me all about losing her bag at the airport when she came here and all her clothes and whatever were lost so her bag is still missing and she has got nothing to wear . So I , the superhero hepled her out because I couldn’t bare seeing her wearing the same clothes over and over again .
Isabella is Ethan’s cousin and she is so nice and cute. I can’t believe God has finally answered my prayers with a girl like Isabella . I guess miracles are possible if you have faith .
Minutes later Isabella walked downstairs wearing a pair of blue jeans with a pink soft blouse I bought for her .
” How do I look in Jeans ? I haven’t tried on jeans since I was 14 years old and I can’t lie they sure show off my butt a little ” she turned around slowly giving me the full view of her perfect body .
The jeans surely revealed more than her butt . Her curves were visible . It’s my first time seeing her well dressed with her hair tied in a ponytail .
” You look great Isabella ” I mumbled while I tried to hide my half arousal with my hands .
” Great? Seriously ? I look more than great . Ethan is surely going to love this !” She said softly and that got me off guard .
” Ethan ?” I questioned in confusion. What is Ethan got to do with this . They are cousins so why would he love this .
” I mean….you helping me out with the clothes . Ethan is going to be grateful for sure and he is going to love everything you have done for me !” She stared at me ” You have a good taste in clothes !” She threw herself on the couch next to me .
” I guess so because it took me hours to choose one outfit for you . I was stressed that you won’t like any of the clothes I bought ” I said while I stared straight in her brownish eyes .
” And here I was , stressed about you buying the wrong size. I’m glad that you went shopping instead of me because I could have bought baggy clothes for myself !” She elbowed me as she took some popcorns from the glass table in front of us then ate up .
I sat up straight as we watched some romantic movie Isabella chose for us as a thank you gift and she is also going to cook tonight so our maid has a day off .
The movie was a little emotional because the couple died at the end . Shakespeare sht can make you tear up sometimes . Im a grown ass man , 23 years of age and movies still makes me cry a little . I think I need to be kicked in the balls .
” What a touching movie ” Isabella touched her heart slightly staring at the television . ” It made me cry like a baby ”
” Isabella look at me ” I said and she did . I pulled off the ribbon of her ponytail ” That’s better . ” I breathed out that she didn’t freak out .
She looks better with her long black her down and I like it better when it’s all over her shoulders . All the McKenzie family has greenish eyes but Isabella here has got some deep beautiful brown eyes that I can’t stop staring at. I bet Ethan will be furious if he finds out that I’m hitting on his cousin but he will thank me later for that .
She stared at me straight in the eyes without blinking and I did the same ” Can I kss you now ?” I asked as I brushed her soft cheek with my hand.
” No Hayden . We can’t do this ” I pushed him away and stood up .
” Why not Isabella? It’s not like Ethan will punish us or something. We are adults . We know what we are doing ” Hayden pulled me back down on the couch .
