Tyler's POV;Two weeks later, While i was working in my laptop, drinking coffee, i saw Lucy walking to the kitchen. After that night, she haven't talked to me properly. She started fixing her own meals even though i asked her not to. My phone rang. When i took the phone to see who it's, it was a landline number. I answered it. They said, "Sir, this is KL hospital. We're making a call to remind you that Ms Jones have her appointment today with the doctor James."Appointment? Oh, it's the day the doctor told us to remove the cast. Among this chaos, i totally forgot about it. I replied, "Thank you. We'll there today." And ended the call. Lucy was walking across me holding a jar of water. I called out her name which made her look at me. "We have to go to hospital today to remove the cast. Get ready." She nodded and climbed the stairs. Our conversation shrunk to one or three words after that kiss. Do you hate it that much to the point where you couldn't even see me? Lucy came down
Lucy's POV;The first day I met Tyler at my club, he was sitting in a corner by himself, nursing his drink, as if it were the only thing keeping him alive right now. He was looking down at his drink, so absorbed in whatever thoughts had driven him here that he hadn't heard me approach and greet him. I stood behind him for a moment, waiting to see what would happen next. But after an awkward silence, I asked, "Sir, liqueur?" and he finally looked up at me with wide eyes and a startled look on his face. His cheeks were flushed red and his hair was mussed, but he still managed to be one of the most beautiful people I'd ever seen, even in the dim light. As soon as I said this though, his expression changed into something more guarded, wary even. He gave me a brief nod, and then turned away from me, his gaze focused on something over my shoulder. He wasn't looking in my direction anymore, he was staring off into space, lost in his thoughts. So much for trying to make conversation.After a
Lucy's pov;At the clothing store, "I already have many dresses at home. Why are you buying a new one?""This is a special occasion so you have to wear something new and not an old one.""Those are not old."He gave me a pat on my shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go look for the best one." When I didn't move from where I was standing, he tried to hold my hand. I moved back saying, "Stop touching me." His smile dropped from what I said. It was really bad to see him in this state but I can't keep on letting things go his way. He put up a smile and said, "If you don't like this store, it's fine. We'll go to some other store. But before that, we'll check out the dresses here." And headed first. 'Why are you trying so hard?'I walked after him into the store. He was ordering them to show him the most priced clothes in the store while I was looking at him. I wonder what made him like me. I was being rude and mean towards him from the beginning so that he will hate me but I never though
Lucy's pov;At Tyler's house, While I was packing the clothes in my room, Tyler walked in asking, "Have you tried the gown again we bought yesterday…" he paused for a moment and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you packing all your dresses?""I'm leaving.""To where? Are you going on any trip?""I'm leaving this house once and for all.""Why? What happened?" I stopped packing and asked him, "Aren't you the one who said to terminate the contract?" "When did i?" "Last night when you're drunk."He rubbed his forehead and sat on the bed as he was saying, "It was just a drunk talk. Why are you taking it seriously?" He took out my clothes from the bag while saying, "Don't mind me when I'm drunk.""Don't you remember what happened last night?""I get my memories mixed up when I'm drunk. Don't worry about it. And, why are you packing your dresses without talking about it with me first?" He paused for a while and looked at me with a stare asking, "Last night, did I do something to you?"
Lucy's pov;After the cake cutting session, the people who came for the birthday party were all sitting in the living room with their glasses of wine on coffee tables, chatting away. Some were looking at pictures they took while others were just staring out of the window and listening to music. Everyone started leaving once the party was over. Daniel and Levi stayed behind and talked with Tyler. Tyler asked Levi, "Is this your plan? In my house?"He smiled at him and said, "Yeah, do you like it?""You messed up my place." Tyler turned towards me and asked, "Do you know about this?" After I nodded, he asked again, "Why didn't you say there were people in our house when we came in?" "Did you let me?" He rubbed his forehead while saying, "I can't believe I let them watch us. They're going to talk about it for a week at least."I moved closer and whispered to him, "Wasn't that what you were expecting since the beginning? I'm sure this will definitely get that old man's ears." Levi, "W
Lucy's POV;"Mr Ackerman... Mr Ackerman, wake up... Tyler, wake up… Tyler…" I woke up Tyler with a soft voice. He looked at me in confusion for a second asking, "What are you doing here..." I closed his mouth before he could say anything. "Shhh... just get up." he sat up and rubbed the last vestiges of sleep from his eyes. When I took my hands off his mouth, he said, "Lucy, what..." I whispered, "Keep it low, ok?" He asked, "What happened? why are you whispering..."When I heard footsteps approaching us, I grabbed his hand and we ran into the wardrobe. I shut the door behind me as quietly as possible but not quiet enough to prevent the footsteps from entering the room. Tyler asked, "What is going on here?" i closed his mouth and whispered, "Shhh!! Someone's gonna hear us!"The door opened and a guy walked in , probably in his late twenties or early thirties. He looked around the room with an angry look on his face. "The bedroom's clear." he walked out after shutting the door behind
Lucy's pov;The next morning, At the dining table, I asked Tyler, "Do you know the cop who came last night? you two talked like you knew him.""I do," he replied. "He was one of the guys from my class.""Is he a friend of yours?" I ask. Tyler smiles and looks up from his food."Not really, he's just another classmate I don't talk to." "Do you think they will catch those guys who broke in last night?" I ask. He nods and says, "Yeah, i'm sure they 'll get them, it'll take time, but I'm positive they'll catch them.""How long will it take?" I ask. Tyler says, "Well... I mean, that depends on whether they get them right away or not, if they're caught then we'll probably see something about it for a month, maybe even longer, but for now, we're safe." and continued eating his breakfast.Once the breakfast was finished, i tried to go to my room but Tyler called out my name and stopped me from going to my room. When i turned around, he gave me a paper while talking on his phone. I rece
Lucy's POV;Tyler tapped on my shoulder which made me turn and look at him. He asked, "What are you doing here?" I realised that I was in the kitchen and answered him, "Making lunch." And continued washing the vegetables. "You just got your cast removed. Don't strain it by cooking. Leave it to me, I'll take care of it.""It's been four days already. My hand doesn't hurt anymore."He removed the apron while saying, "We got a Christmas dinner to attend this weekend so don't get yourself in trouble by cooking." He held my shoulders and made me walk to the living room, made me sit on the couch and said, "If you feel bored, watch television. The lunch will be ready in a while." And walked back into the kitchen. I shouted while being in the living room, "Can I atleast chop vegetables for you?" "No need. Thank you for asking babe." He shouted back. "Don't you have to go to the company? Why are you still here even after removal of the cast? Aren't you worried about your company anymore?"
