Chapter:Five The White Flag Of A Truce

I listened as he spoke in perfect manderian to the restaraunt around the corner. “Is there anything you can’t do “I said cheekily as he frowned at my quirky comment. It was suppose to lighten up the mood . It sorely missed its proper mark it only made more tenision. He went into the kitchen and grabbed extra silver ware. Instead of grabbing more silverware his shoulders were slumped over the kitchen sink. His head bowed as he tried to reign in his temper. His muscle in arms renewed as he gripped the counter. He spoke through gritted teeth . 

“Can we call it a truce on our verbal battles just for tonight . Gabby I don’t have the strength...I cant do this anymore .”. he honestly said.even though I didn’t care for physical contact often . I had a great urge to hold him he looked as volunerable as I felt . “I don’t want to fight either”i said soothingly but my words didn’t help. My phone rang loudly ...I pressed the red decline button..

“What ?!” I asked as he he frowned further as my phone ringed .. “Oliver is still calling you even after you told him it’s over”. He said furiously I didn’t make eye contact . He took out another bottle if Chateau  St.Michelle popping the cork loudly. Pouring the dark liquid into each glass generously. 

Yes 

”will you go back to him  if he asks” scanning my face for any signs of dishonesty .   I looked  away “he can be  persuasive and charming  if he wants to ..come on he won your sister over “I sighed . Knowing that I’m actually lying to Clayton’s face. His face twists and contorts in disgust at my response. 

“I’m sorry Ella,I can’t control your feeling or your emotions pertaining to the subject. but if he still persists after you said it’s over I will take desprite measures.”He stubbornly swigs the last of the contents of his glass.”what drastic measure” i batter him into telling me his plans. He doesn’t take the bait his jaw muscle jumps as he clinched his teeth. 

“I refuse to let him hurt and use people that I care about !” He nearly screamed as  I took a step back. 

“You care about me Clayton ? I asked as I searched his face . 

“What ?!no,I can’t care or have feelings for someone I just recently met. That’s  obserd that would just plain and simple lust. Nothing more..”he stated as if he practiced that speech millions of times in his head just to get it right. Your right it would be just plain pure lust if we would care for each other after a short period of time. No, I don’t even like you so we don’t have anything to worry about as my phone rang once again. 

Why don’t you answer  his call he challenged I smirked at him “ I guess I will “

I grabbed the bag of sweet and sour pork and childishly stuck my tongue at him ;as I walk out the door.
