Chapter 50
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I walk downstairs wearing a bum short and Chase’s jacket, I just can’t get enough of it. Besides I’m cold and just want to wear it.
Early in the morning, I had woken up first and Chase’s hand was still rapped around me as if holding me so I won’t run away.
I smiled and start at his sleeping face for a while before he opens his eyes and look at me. I had expected him to get mad and yell at me or push me out of the bed.
Or better still just get angry with me and ignore me.
But Chase surprised me, he didn’t do any of us, as much as I remember, he had said good morning to me.
“Good Morning Princess” he said to me and I looked away shyly. He’s always catching me looking at him.
“Good Morning” I greeted him back and stood up from the bed.
“About last night… You were drunk and won’t let me leave and I …” Chase didn’t let me finish my word as he held my hand and pushed me to himself and then he kissed me.
I didn’t know how and why but I remember I kissed him back. It was somehow an intense kiss but if I say I don’t like it, I’m definitely a big liar.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I know what happened.” He said to me when he break the kiss.
“Uhm… I’ll be in my room.” I said to him nervously and rush out of the room.
Remembering all these I found myself smiling as I touch my lips but my smile disappeared when I saw Charlotte staring right at me with Chase sitting opposite her.
Chase noticed Charlotte looking up at the stairs since he’s backing the stairs, he turned and we locked eyes but I looked away immediately.
I don’t know but I don’t like Charlotte right from day one, there’s just something about her that doesn’t see right to me.
I’m just going to ignore her and act like she’s not there, I wonder why she’s here so early and already sitting with Chase.
I could myself being filled with jealousy. She’s Madison’s twin sister, what if Chase fall in love with her?
Recently, I noticed my heart beat just whenever I sees Chase and I always want to be around him.
Having him kiss me this morning and acting like it’s normal thing makes me think he feels the same way I do.
But seeing Charlotte here already killed the vibe I woke up with.
I reached the end of the stairs and Charlotte was still staring at me and mere looking at her face, she seems to be looking angry or something.
Well, I know too well to just ignore her.
I looked at the dining table and noticed the maids were already done dishing out breakfast, I looked over at Chase and Charlotte again and frown. Turning to Chase, I asked him a question.
“Chase…. Are we still going to the hospital to get my drugs? ” I asked him.
Charlotte seems to gather herself back as she flashes me a force smile.
I’m not too dumb to notice that she’s faking the smile, I returned the smile the same way.
“Uhmm.. Calista, I’m sorry but you have to go with Tyrell. I have somewhere to go and I don’t want to disappoint you” he said calmly.
I nodded and turn to walk to the dining but I stopped when Charlotte directed a question to me.
“Are you sick?” She asked.
I turned and look at her then smile. “No”
I snapped and without hesitation I walked to the dining table and sat down.
Chase followed me after and then Charlotte, there was silence as we all start eating but the silence only lasted for a while before Charlotte broke it.
“Brother Chase, do you mind if I take Calista to the hospital? I came with my car and I can drive her there and bring her back after” she asked.
I looked at Chase and he looked at me too but this time he looked away immediately.
“That’s nice Charlotte, you can ask her if you can then” Chase simple said.
Charlotte turn to me. “Can we go together?”
Okay! Her smile is irritating me like hell, she’s just too fake.
I swallowed and couldn’t bring myself to say no or Chase will assume I’m being rude, why is she trying to force herself to act nice when she’s not?.
Looking back at her, I nodded and continued eating without looking at two of them again. Chase was the first finish eating , he picked up his phone and stood up.
“I’ll see you after then” I nodded, and he walked away.
Now it’s just me and Charlotte sitting down and glaring at each other. Actually, none of us seems serious in the food we’re eating.
Charlotte suddenly dropped her spoon and stood up.
“I’ll go see Chase off… I’ll wait for you in my car” she muttered and walked away.
The moment she’s out of the sitting room, I dropped my spoon too and sighed. I’m sure she have something cooking.
Her sudden way of asking to drive me is suspicious or maybe I’m the one over thinking. She’s only trying to be nice to me, but I can’t bring myself to like her.
Her behavior is so out of the picture.
I stood up after and walked out of the dining room too, I walk back upstairs to my room to grab my cell phone and then I walk outside the house.
She was sitting in a white Ford Figo car that has a tainted window. I sighed and walk over to the other side, I opened it and entered.
She didn’t say a word and just started the car and drive out of the compound.
For the next two minutes, none of us speak to each other and I understand, we both hate each other and just have to act nice because Chase is there.
She turned to look at me and then said one word that almost made my heart ache.
“Yunno I’m dating Chase?” She smiled at me.
I felt like a heavy load was placed in my heart and I have to breath down heavily to go calm myself down.
She flashed me a mischievous smile and I just looked away, I couldn’t even utter a word.
It can’t be true, Chase can’t be dating Charlotte and still make me misunderstood his behavior towards me. But seeing the way Charlotte was giggling, I almost believed her.
“We’ve been dating for a while now, but as you know… I’m busy and don’t always have time for him, but he’s always running back to me. He called me this morning to come around cause he missed me” she smiled.
“No you’re not.” I said to her and she smiled again before looking at her road and making a turn.
“Yes I am, darling. Chase is my Man and he loves me so much that he can’t get enough of me.”
“If you’re dating him, why did you called him brother? And how can you be proud to date your late sister’s boyfriend? Is that okay..? ” I asked her.
Her smile turned to a frown as she glared at me but immediately try to act like things are okay.
“Which hospital are you going?” She asked, I sighed and looked away before answering her question.
