23. To kiss me..

David’s POV.

“Is there something wrong, sweetie? You don’t seem relaxed.” Claire asks me, placing a hand on my thigh.

“No, I’m good.” I tell her but I know I’m not.

Vera saw us kissing. What will she be thinking?

Granted, I don’t want Vera to know about my feelings for her ‘cause it'll make her want to be my girlfriend which will complicate things, still, I can’t stop feeling guilty knowing she saw Claire kissing me back at the house.

I only wanted to apologize for my rash words from days before ‘cause I’ve not been around since. It’s being emergency meeting here and there. So I came this morning to patch things up with her only for Claire to call and remind me of my promise to accompany her to their family's reunion.

Mr. Oliver wants to unite his legitimate children and the illegitimate ones. The old man is just acting like he's numbering his days.

As a result, Claire wants me to be her partner. I would have rejected but knowing I’m seeking something

from her father always gives me
