Camilla's POV It's been exactly two months since my mom got married and two weeks since the last time I saw Andrew. Except for the times I hear him leaving his room or coming back from God knows where. I have heard him knocking on my door sometimes but I don't bother opening because I do not want to talk to him. The first time he came knocking, he said he wanted to apologize for what his girlfriend did but I don't care about him nor her so they can both go to hell.His friend came one certain time and I could hear them from my room talking about the women he has dated and all that.I always make sure I do everything I need to do downstairs before he gets back or sees me and if he is at home I don't go downstairs. I remember one evening. Five days into my self isolation, my stepdad came knocking. When I opened the door, he was holding a plate of food. My stomach rumbles at the sight of it and my mouth watered.I moved back so he could come in and take the food from him. There's no n
Camilla's POV What he did next surprised the hell out of me. He kissed me and I liked it. It happened so sudden that I didn't even know how to react.I ran and left him in the hallway. My lips were still tingling from the kiss that I had to lick my lips and also touch them to make sure I wasn't dreaming.Ohhh my God, this is going to be awkward and here I was thinking about how to tolerate his overbearing ass then this happened.I almost bumped into my mom on the stairs when she was coming upstairs. I was still absentminded with my hand on my lip. I am pretty sure she was saying something but I can't make it out because I wasn't paying attention. She shook me and that jolted me out of my haziness. She asked if I was okay. I assured her that I am fine and then she repeated what she said. “I know I promised you a movie night but we could do that because of your isolation and I didn't want to disturb you. But I promise we will do it when I get back. Okay?” She kissed me on the forehead
Andrew's POV ‘Maybe later.’That's the last thing she said before slamming her door. I don't know why I want to be nice to her. 'is it the kiss? It's just a little chaste kiss. Why would I be feeling this way? I wondered.I came back to my senses to realize I was still standing at her door. I checked my time to see it still AM so I timed it to give hours for now, I will come back to wake her up since she hasn't even had breakfast yet.Then after breakfast, we can head to the movie room. I walked downstairs to see the maids doing their job. They said their hello's and I just acknowledged them before heading to the kitchen.There I was hoping to see our old guy Ralph because he is the chef but I saw a completely new person and her face screams familiarity like we have met before.Before I could rake my brain for a possible explanation she cut me off from my train of thoughts. “Good morning Sir. My name is Aaren. I am the new chef.” And it clicked. She was the same person that caught me
Andrew's POV What she said made me try to finish my food faster because I don't want her to think I am keeping her waiting on purpose.As I dropped my plate in the washer, I checked my watch to see that it's two PM. I walked out of the kitchen to see her hunch down.“Hey, I am done. We can go now.” She nodded, and I made my way to the movie room while she followed closely behind me.I input the code and it clicked open, I held the door for her so she would go in then I closed it behind me.“Wow, this is beautiful and so big, just like the library.” She was gushing about it but I don't see how big it is. Maybe it's because it is not a new place for me.“It's not that big, the library is bigger.” I argued but she rolled her eyes at me.I went around arranging everything we will need from coffee, popcorn and sweets. She was just staring at me still in awe. “Wait, there's all these things here? Or where did you get them from?” “They are all here. You can't be going downstairs in the mid
Camilla's POV He is now fully in the room, he scanned every point of the room trying to look for anything that will indicate I am lying. ‘the nerve of this guy.’ I scoffed and he turned to look at me. ‘that came out loud.’ “What? Aren't you watching the movie again or should I go back to my room?” I said quickly trying to divert his attention from whatever is running in his mind.“Let's watch.” He walked to the sofa and lay down. I followed suit and got comfortable on the sofa.“Let's watch something else, this series is not that interesting.” I told him, he was staring at me now.“Why? You said you like it.” He was emphasizing on the like it.“Let's just watch an action thriller or anime. I love those types more, I just wanted to see how this one is, if it's worth the hype but unfortunately it's not.” I shrugged.He started searching for anything else to watch while I picked our coffee cup so I would get a refill before he settled on what to watch.I came back to see that the movie
Camilla's POV Some many people got awarded but the most award went to Andrew and one of his lady friends. I think Josephine is her name. I counted fifteen awards given to him. Everytime he is called to the stage. His dad was wearing a proud smile. I gaze at him in awe and he returns it with a smirk. Cocky much……After the award, he was called again to come give a speech as the best graduating student. He walked to the podium wearing the most arrogant smile I have ever seen.I couldn't contain my laughter. “Must he be arrogant all the time?” I was giving him the bombastic side eye look.“Well, I tried.” He puff his chest confidently, “You are so unbelievably. Can't you not be arrogant for once?” My phone rang, I picked it to see my mom calling. I made a motion for him to be quiet.I made a quick glance at the time before picking it. “Mom, you called early. I thought you won't till.”“No honey, we landed an hour ago, I wanted to rest a little before calling my baby. So how's everythi
Andrew's POV When she ran out of the movie room, I wanted to go after her but I was stuck in my head.I didn't want her to think I am so desperate to have her when it's not like that. I am still figuring out my feelings for her. I know I like her but I don't know if it's because of how close we're becoming.‘I don't really regret it but we would have to talk about it. It's not like we are related for it to be a taboo.’ I wondered.I stood up from the sofa, turned the television off and packed all the albums and videos. I walked out of the room and locked it.I stopped at her bedroom door, about to knock but decided against it. ‘What if she doesn't want to see me?’ my stomach dropped at that thought.I hope it doesn't get to that. I put my hand down and continue to my room. My phone started ringing immediately I went in but I ignored it l, the items in my hand found their place next to my bed. I'll arrange them later. I took off my clothes, walked into the bathroom. My stomach rumble
Andrew's POV “What the fuck is she doing here?” I was glaring at her as she approached. Camilla went back inside the car. Why? I don't know. She stopped right in front of me, and threw herself at me. “Baby, you haven't been picking my calls. I am sorry. I know you don't believe me but if you like I will apologize to her right now.” I know she was feigning innocence but I don't have time for that shit right now.Looking at her now, I don't even know what got into me to date her in the first place. She is such a nuance. I can't even stand her. I grabbed her bicep tightly because I wanted whatever I said should be on her mind and she would know that I was not bluffing. “Now you listen, you are not going to say anything to her! You hear me?” “Ahhhh, Andrew you are hurting me.” Her voice sounds so annoying right now.But I won't allow her to ruin my day for me. I released her and turned around to get back inside the car when she held my hand.“What do you think you are doing?”“Is ther
