THE MALE HATER : CHAPTER 81 – 90
CARSON’S MANSION, EMORY’S ROOM*
Emory decided to smoke again tonight, so after three sticks of joint, she doused the smell with apples.
Half-eaten red apples are scattered around her bed like her habit, and there are wrappers of mint sweet too.
She loves them.
There are chocolate nylons too, she literally stuffed her face before finally falling asleep, rolling herself in the middle of her duvet.
Her laptop is at the foot of the bed, and TITANIC is playing.
Her favorite movie since she was young.
She was watching it for the hundredth time before she fell asleep.
She changed position on the bed, and a gasp escaped her lips.
She groaned from sleep, sweating and breathing fast and hard as she landed in the nightmare again…
FLASHBACK, AGE ELEVEN*
Young Emory was rubbing her eyes with her hands as she woke up in her cute princess bed surrounded with barbie dolls.
It’s a peaceful Sunday morning.
“Did you sleep well?” Mr. Carson asked beside her, and her eyes opened wide.
Normally, it’s Tate who wakes her up, so why her dad today?
“Dad?” She jumped into his arms, and the man carried her fondly like his baby, arranging her hair.
She might be eleven, but her parents treat her like a complete baby since she’s their one and only.
“Where’s Ma?” She asked.
“She went on a trip and will return tonight” Mr. Carson replied, rubbing her hair as he took her out of the room.
“She didn’t tell me” Emory muttered.
“So you won’t miss her much” Mr. Carson replied.
“Not true, I’m missing her already” Emory said, and Mr. Carson chuckled.
She made morning pancakes with her dad and ate with him, then she had her bath afterwards.
She expected her dad to stay home with her throughout since her mum is out, but Mr. Carson came downstairs with his briefcase.
“It’s Sunday, dad. Don’t tell me you’re going to the office” Emory blocked him.
“Yeah, I have an important meeting” the man replied.
“Then take me with you” Emory said.
“No, Em you can’t…
“Please dad… please please I don’t want to stay home with the maid…I don’t…
“The meeting is for business men, and I can’t bring you along”
“But I can stay outside and wait for you” she insisted.
“Em listen to me. Stay home with the maid, I won’t take long” Mr. Carson said.
“No, dad…I don’t want to. I want to follow you please…please dad,,, please” Emory started crying for real.
“Fine, then go change your sandals. Wear the new shoes I got you” Mr. Carson said.
“Yes!” Emory quickly wiped her tears and ran upstairs.
She changed into the shoes and even changed her clothes, but by the time she got downstairs, Mr. Carson left already.
He deceived her.
“We’ll have fun together ok? Don’t worry” the maid told her.
Emory was about to start crying again when the door opened.
Excited that her dad came back for her, she rushed there, but she met a different face.
Uncle Fred’s.
“Hello, beautiful girl” he smiled.
BACK TO THE PRESENT*
Tears were already sliding out of the corners of Emory’s eyes as she wriggled in bed, trying to wake up from the nightmare.
“Noah” a voice called softly, rocking her cheeks gently.
She stopped wriggling.
“Noah” the voice came again, whispering against her ear.
She moved her long lashes, stilling completely.
A sniffle left her nose.
“Noah” the voice came for the third time, a familiar thumb rubbing the shell of her ear.
Her eyes opened, but they’re drowsy.
She sat up in bed immediately, climbing the laps of the person and wrapping her arms on him, her warm body folding to his own.
“Don’t leave..ok?” She whispered in a small voice.
Just like the other time at Forte, she’s probably thinking she’s still dreaming.
Levi stroked her hair, his eyes blank as her tears stained his neck.
“Hush, close your eyes and sleep back for me” he whispered.
As if spellbound, she slept off within seconds, on his laps…in his arms.
