Chapter 17 Maybe I can try to love .

Chapter seventeen
I breathe in and out again,"Take her to the visitor"s room. She will be there till she wakes up",I say and Steven walk away.
I look over at myself, at my ruined suit. I need to change into something casual.
"The rest of the day is free for you," I say to Peter before walking away.
I stop briefly and burst into laughter. I laugh so hard that tears evade my eyes. OMG, did you see the way she flied out of the car? I thought we were shooting the super woman or wonder woman movie. Like, this girl can really make it if she decides to venture into movies industry. I mean she was so funny . And I have never had so much fun in ages. Gosh,it's so hilarious that I strangely want it to happen again.
The phone rings suddenly, bringing me back to the mundane world. I look at the screen and it's Evelyn. What exactly does she want from me? She has been calling me for ages.
The call ends, only for it to start ringing again. I pick it up this time,"Hello Evelyn"
There was a long sigh at the other side of the phone. I stride into my room to change my clothes. I drop the phone on the bed and go to the wardrobe to pick new shirt.
"What's happening Dav," she says into the airpod. Dav? That name sounds so good.
"Nothing. I've just been so busy since last night", I say and pick a singlet-like shirt instead. I start to pull off my shirt.
" Does last night seriously mean nothing to you?"she sounds devastated. But I thought I clearly warned her never to fall in love with me. Why won't she even take my advice to heart? Well, seriously last night means nothing to me. Nothing Bae!
"I was busy and couldn't call back," I say instead and don my shirt. I pick a dirty blue jean.
"But it does mean something to you right."
I sign,I don't want to promise anything. But maybe we can talk this out. Evelyn is my kind of woman. Tall, slim, model-like, beautiful, calm and I love the way she calls my name. Yes, perhaps it's my time to find love. Someone did say that there will be a time in our life when love will eventually find us.
"It means so much to me Evelyn. I wanted to call you but didn't have the time to. I was just planning on calling you when you did," I explain and I could sense her smile. Her smile is cool too and she doesn't scream like the good-for-nothing lady in my visitor room. I don't even want to start thinking about her.
"I was planning on seeing you this night. How about that?"
I smile,"Fine for me. Text me the location and the time"
She went silent and I wonder what went wrong,"I was actually thinking I could come to your house"
Oh! I roll my eyes typically. Jones won't be awake until midnight probably. She can even sleep till the next day because I gave her the overdose of the drug. So,I will be back before she wakes up. I don't want her destroying the house. Maybe I should even lock her up. Nice idea Dave, your brain works like the Internet.
"Sure!"i say and she laugh.
" I will see you in two hours then,"she says and the phone went off.
I look at myself and quickly think of changing attire again. And I need to go to the second house now.
I decide on a grey jean and a white t-shirt. Well,I look ok in whatever I wear. I enter the bathroom to have a quick shower. You know,i like being neat at all time.
Clad in Jean short and hoodie,with a trainee. I look at myself in the mirror again. I don't know why I'm so concern about my looks these days. I mean I shouldn't be acting so feminine. But well, sometimes,there are somethings you can never control. I just wish I can atleast fall for Evelyn so this thing can work better. When I saw dad again,I suddenly wish I would find a true love again. Well,I dont really know what true love really is. I mean I loved Cynthia and somehow I think I still do. But I wouldn't say it's true love,if it really is then we will still be together. I can imagine Cynthia only used me to get popular. Because at that time I was dating her,I signed a modelling contract and I was really making it.
When did I suddenly resulted into working in a company instead of continuing with the model work? Well,I don't know either. I think I just wanted to forget everything that reminds me of Cynthia. And it really worked. It worked all this while for five years.
I walk out of the house. I can't find Peter anywhere. I enter the car anyways. This is a personal issue,Peter doesn't necessarily have to drive me there.
I start the ignition and drive towards my first house. I glanced at my wrist watch,it's just five. Evelyn will be here by six. Well,I think I need some time to myself anyways.
Eventhough i actually stopped modelling,I couldn't stop the fame I was already familiar with. Taking control of my father's company wasn't really a nice decision because I wanted to stay away from my father. I know I bow to no one and no one can control me but that doesn't include my father. He's the worst man alive and I fear him so much. I have never gone against him, only went farther away from him. But after the break up,I decided to do something different with my life. I get I was really miserable and so heartbroken. Well, after two years,I had already expanded on my own. I have two shopping malls, a large boutique and yes, a now popular high school. I walk into my room and look at my mom's picture. Gosh,I really miss her. Well,this is just one of the five houses I have. Dad knows about three of them but the other twos were built under the pretense of a hired surrogate. Only the papers indicates I own the house. So, with that my dad won't be able to tail it. Did I tell you my dad is so good with getting information. Sometimes,I actually do wonder if he really is an Alpha,maybe that's why Michael fears him too. Maybe Michael is a beta while my dad is the Alpha or Michael is the new Alpha and Jones is the future Luna.
I laugh. Watching too much wolf movies can actually drive you crazy.
"Hello boss," the intercom sounds beside me, jerking me out of my thoughts. I look up but didn't say a word,"Miss Evelyn is here sir"
I smile now,"Let her in,"I say and walk back to the sitting room. Evelyn walks in, clad in short,sleeveless gown. The gown is red. And OMG! It looks as though it was made specially for her. I walk to her with a smile.
She reciprocate it,"Your colour is so good today"
"I told you I was so bothered with work," I smile again. Truly, she looks sexy and hot and well, she impressed me. As I've said earlier, she is my kind of lady,"What will you like to take?"
She shrug,"Anything but I will make it myself". I laugh at her kind of behaviour. She's already behaving like the lady of the house. Well, yes, maybe she will be soon.
But there's something I've been dying to find out. When I kissed Jones earlier,I felt something I have never felt for so long. Maybe it's me but I feel like kissing Evelyn so I will know what the problem actually is. I don't know if I'm suddenly having hormones issues.
"So,I need to go make something for us," Evelyn was saying and I suddenly realize she's on the way to the kitchen. Wait a moment, how did she know the way to my kitchen?
I walk after her, slowly and stop at the door briefly to watch her. She walk around,getting things ready for whatever she was about to cook. For a moment,I imagine her to be my wife. You know, me waking up and discover she's not by my side only for me to realize she's in the kitchen cooking for me. I know I sound weird but everyone wants that kind of thing. People may not acknowledge it but everyone wants the good thing. I want someone like my mom. Beautiful and calm and tall and intelligent and fragile. Not some sort of girls that can beat their husbands like Jones. Seriously,I don't know why Im thinking about this girl again.
"Will you stay there and continue to watch me or will you come in and help me?" Evelyn ask suddenly shocking me. She didn't turn to look at me but continue to slice the bananas. I smile mentally and move closer.
"It's not like I have something here that I can do for you," I say jokily,"But how come you can cook this much? I never expected you to know a bit about cooking"
She glanced up at me, then continue to slice the bananas again. She is 5'5 feet tall so she has to look up at me.
"My mom was a great chef before she died," she sign briefly in grief. It kind of reminds me of my own mother. Only someone who has lost his or her mother would actually know how it feels to lose ones mother,"I miss her,"she adds softly.
I breathe out and pull her into a tight hug. I miss my mom too,I really do. Even as a guy,I know how hard it is for me to grow up without a mother. What then can I say to the female child that needs their mother to teach them how it feels to be a woman.
I pull her back after some minutes and look her in the eyes. Her brown eyes are watery and shiny. She looks so beautiful even in this kind of situation.
Do you remember what I wanted to do the other time? Yes,I wanted to kiss another lady asides Jones. Maybe something had actually happened to me and I will need to see the doctor.
Without thinking much,i tilt my head in and take her lips in with mine.
I actually pray that something should definitely be wrong with me.
Jones
I open my eyes and yawn noisily. God,I've never felt so comfortable in my entire life. It feels as though I changed my bed. This bed is so soft and worth sleeping on. And it also feels like there's a Air conditioner here, strange right? I walk out of bed and strangely , it also seems like the bed went wider.
"Nancy!" I call in the semi darkness. Why the heck did she switch off the light. She knows Im suffering from night blindness,"Nancy!" I call again, this time very frustrated. Well, just like the first time, no answer came. I grope around for the switch but strangely, it seems as though my things were turned overnight. It doesn't look like my room at all. The switch isnt where it should be. And somehow,it seems like the room went wider
What the heck is happening and why won't they switch on the light? Where's Nancy?
"Nancy! Open this damn door before I destroy the whole house," I say, half screaming and Im sure mom and Sam would have heard. I don't care,I seriously need to leave this blindness.
Well, when I was very young. I suffered from vitamin A deficiency.
