This just happened to be the most boring dinner with anyone. He hadn't said a word but was only eating and glancing at me at short intervals, nothing else. Well, it wasn't like I was expecting us to exchange words. It wasn't a date.
"Oh, I'm supposed to be nice." He said randomly, sitting up straight. So he remembered now? He needed to stop deceiving himself. He could never be a nice person.
"I guess you forgot that." I forced a smile.
"Yes, I did." He chuckled. Oh goodness, he just chuckled?
Once again, silence occurred. I hated it as hell, but I wasn't going to start a discussion with him. Heavens knew how much I hated keeping my mouth shut for such a long time.
~ IMOGEN ~My phone's unremitting ringing drew me out of my wonderful sleep land.I groaned, muttering cuss words to myself before I half-opened my eyes, rolling on the bed to reach for my phone on the nightstand.It still vibrated in my hand, sounding even louder and more frustrating. I fluttered my sleepy eyelids, placing a leg over a pillow and yawned.The caller ID was none other than Lila. Why on Earth was she calling? Did she think it was right to disturb my beautiful sleep that was mostly short.Wearing a frown, I answered the call, placing the phone to my ear. "What the fuck do you want?" I gruffed.
I barged to the living room. Hames was on the sofa opposite the television. Though the television was turned on to an obviously romantic-comedy, he wasn't watching it but had his attention focused on his laptop, hitting its keys with his fingers aggressively.I stopped right in front of him, standing in akimbo and held my phone up to face him.I was about to call him Mr Hendrix but I remembered he had said I could call him Hames. "Hames, please I need an explanation."He didn't raise his head from the laptop, totally ignoring me."Hello?" I frowned, waving my hand.Still no response.
The moment I raised my head, I almost went blind at the sight of two completely naked bodies; Kade and Jovi, on the bed, in the middle of a hissing hot sexual session,Jovi squeaked, jerking away from Kade like an electrocution just occurred, immediately picking her scattered clothes from the floor to shield her breasts from view."I'm sorry," I apologized, opened the door wider and ran out, slamming it shut.I didn't stop running till I stopped by the elevator, panting. I hit the elevator button repeatedly, not being patient enough for it to open slowly.I rushed into it the moment it opened, hitting the button to the 7th floor. Before the doors closed completely, I observed a man running in the d
9 HOURS LATER (IMAGINE THIS IN SPONGEBOB NARRATOR'S VOICE)I raised my head from the sofa, glancing at the stupid wall clock hung on the wall, above the door. It's been about 9 or 10 hours but still no one had heard my cry for help, neither had Kade or Jovi returned.I rose to my feet from the floor, sauntering to the savior in the form of a fridge, taking out an apple. There were fruits and foods I had eaten from when my stomach had tortured me out of hunger.Taking a bite of the apple, I moaned, squeezing my face in frustration. "This is totally crazy, a very stupid hotel, why won't there be an emergency telephone?"I screamed, hoping to pour out my exasperation, but it wasn't working, I was still equ
"It's true. I Love You, Imogen." He lowered his head, tilting it to connect our lips for an electrifying, brain-bending kiss. Hames loved me?! HOLY COWS!The dim lights went off then the bright lights turned on again. He shut his eyes, seeming deep into the kiss but my eyes were bugged out, unable to close on their own accord. My heart beat rate had gone wild. How could Hames love me?He probably only realized I wasn't responding to his kiss so he pulled away, gazing; his eyes read fear as he watched me, patently waiting for my answer.I huffed, pulling apart from him. "So you locked me in Kade's room all day for this?""He locked you in his room? He's so stupid. They ought to take you out with them to distract you,
"Hi, guys." I grinned, waving. I just started a video call with Nikita and Lila."Babe," Nikita said boringly."Imogen, how are you?" Lila beamed."You called today? What a surprise!" Nikita said, throwing a handful chips into her mouth."Indeed a surprise. Is there any special occasion going on? Did you wake up to the wrong side of the morning?""No, guys. I called to say 'hi' to you, together." I"Dummy." Nikita said for no good reason. "How are you spending time with your boyfriend over there?" She winked.
"Imogen, the party is tonight." Hames reminded me, like I didn't know that already. I guess we were sticking to Imogen and no longer 'Miss Mark' now.I stopped myself from glaring at him but I ensured my face didn't read any friendly expression."Aren't you excited for it?""What's so exciting about the stupid party?" I scoffed.He rolled his eyes, walking up to me on the couch and sat beside me. That was definitely not an action that was comfortable for me."Go to my room, there's a box on the bed. It's for you." He said indifferently, took the remote control from the table to turn on the television.
"Thank you so much, I received it earlier today and I'm damn grateful." Lila said from the other end of the line."It's nothing.""Are you kidding me? Another $10,000?! I'm certain it's got something to do with your boss, let him know I'm very grateful. The Doctor has assured me that Mom's surgery would be great and she'd be fine on or before next week.""Really?" A grin appeared on my lips."Yes. And I can notice the improvement in her health, she's doing really great and it's all thanks to you and God. Our Mother would be fine soon.""Wow, I'm super excited!" I squealed, feeling the greatest form of joy building up in my belly. I was beyond ex
