Chapter30 New Beginnings

"In the kitchen, downstairs," I said loudly, letting her know where I was.
It took her five minutes to find the kitchen, and by that time, I was making coffee for myself. I took a long look at her appearance, and I busied myself so I wouldn't get caught staring at her. Her dress was riled up to her thighs, offering me a view I could enjoy all day. Her hair was open and all messed up, giving her a sexy morning look. How strange is it for her to be in my place looking like she has just been fucked up without us even doing it? The icy blue eyes were staring at me in shock.
"Morning." I greeted her softly.
She gently smiled at me first, and then her smile turned into a scowl, as if she remembered what I did to her, and she glared at me deathly. Her face was set in a frown as she looked around for an exit, I suppose. I knew I quickly had to do something, otherwise she would never forgive me and the guilt would eat me alive.
"Let me explain... please."
Her face was deadpanned but she made no effort to move. Taking that as my opportunity, I continued.
"Look, I'm... sorry." I am. " I quickly said, "Slowly," and she stilled for a moment. Her eyes widened in surprise. There I said it.
"For what?" she spoke slowly after recovering from the shock. Is she going to make me say it? Was apologising not enough for her? I was about to shout, but then I remembered that I am the one who needs her clemency.
"For acting completely uncivilised the other day." I shouldn't have said all that. I hope you accept my apology. " I explained, hoping she would accept my apology.
"I hope you accept my apology." She imitated me in a deep voice. "God, you are so formal."
I took this as a positive sign. I mean, I've heard people talking about how a regular conversation is a sign of forgiveness.
"So are we okay?" I confronted her.But I have my doubts.
"I am not the one to hold grudges and since you apologised even though you looked like you were going to die, yes we are, Mr. Zuriel Richardson, and I sincerely accept your apology." Her smile was a genuine one.
"So easily?" I asked her suspiciously. Her forgiving me so easily wasn't going very well with me.
That's why I know how hard it is to apologise for your own mistakes. Especially for you. " She teased me.
I smiled wholeheartedly at her before remembering I had to give her something.
"Wait. I got you something."
I am sure she will like this. I went across the hall to get a small bag with a large box in it for her. She bit her lip in anticipation and took the brand new iPhone and laptop I got for her.
