"And, that's your room..."Uncle Paul said. He looked at me and saw me distracted, "Caitlin, what's the matter? You don't like the house?" he said.
His voice brought me out of my trail of thoughts and I looked at him, "No, that's not the matter! Uncle, I will move out as soon as I find a job. I don't want to be any bother to you."
He got surprised and said, "Cait, you have never been a bother to me. I don't want you to move out."
"I know that, but you have done so much for me. After the death of mom and dad, you looked after me. You paid for my studies, never left my side. But, now I am a graduate and I don't want to be a burden to you."I said.
"Cait, you are like my own daughter. I care for you and you are not a burden for me. "he said seriously.
"Uncle, please... I want to do be independent."I said trying to convince him.
"Ok. Do as you wish but remember I am always here for you. "he said and hugged me. "Now go and see your room. You will live here until you get a job. "he said and smiled.
I went upstairs to see my room. I opened the door and went inside, it's nice. The color of the walls is violet with white feather-shaped brush strokes here and there. I smiled. Uncle knows I like violet color. I sat on the bed smiling.
Uncle Paul has been there for me since my parents died in a car accident when I was five. I survived because they left me with uncle Paul and went to celebrate their wedding anniversary. He is my godfather. He took care of me like his own daughter. He loves me so much. He did not marry till now because of me, he thought what if he marries and his wife doesn't approve of me, then he has to leave me. And he was not ready to do that.
I know he cares so much for me. So, now that I have graduated I don't want to be a burden on him anymore.
I got up and arranged my closet and bed. I arranged my whole room. Perfect! This looks good! I smiled at my work. I am so tired now. I went downstairs. Uncle was giving money to men he called to help him with the moving and arranging.
"Wow!!"I said looking around. The living and dining area is arranged so perfectly.
"You like it?" Uncle asked smiling. I nodded in a yes and said, "I'm impressed, Uncle."
His phone started ringing. He answered his phone and was talking when I was looking around the kitchen trying to find something to eat but there is nothing.
"There's nothing. I am going shopping now." Uncle said looking at me.
"I will also come to help you." I said.
"Sorry, you can't. I have to go for some work before shopping. You must be hungry so, order a pizza. No, go to a cafe. You will enjoy it more. Maybe you will make a friend." he said and took out car keys from his pockets.
"What's that, uncle?"I asked surprised.
"Your graduation gift!" he said smiling.
"Uncle, why? I can't..."I was saying when he interrupted me. "Cait, just take it. Please... I bought it for you with so much love."
"Ok. I will take it. Thank you so much!!"I said taking the keys and hugged him, planting a kiss on his cheek.
"I'm going! But, you drive safely! Ok?" he said. I nodded in a yes. He hugged me again.
"Enjoy yourself." He said before leaving for his work.
My stomach growled. I went back upstairs to my room and quickly change my clothes into a sleeveless top and jeans. I left my golden locks loose. I look good. I took my purse and came downstairs. I went out and locked the door.
"Wow!! It's so nice!!"I exclaimed looking at the car.
I sat inside and quickly fastened my seat belt. But, where should I go? I will check my phone. I took out my phone and searched for a good cafe. "Mary's cafe" is famous but it's so far. This town is new to me so, I can see around the place on my way there.
We have moved to a new town as uncle got a promotion and was transferred here. He was hesitant about the move as he was concerned about me. He thought I will get lonely by leaving all my friends there but I convinced him that I will be fine. I didn't want my uncle to reject his promotion because of me.
Let's see how this new town is! I smiled nervously. I hope the people here are as nice as in my previous town were.
I started the engine and pressed the accelerator. The car came to life. I took a deep breath and took out the car onto the driveway.
This town is so beautiful and nice. I like this place! I smiled. I have to find a job soon. This thought always makes me nervous. Will I get a job? I shook my head. Let's not think about that today and enjoy myself.
There's the cafe! I will park my car. I was about to park my car when someone overtook me and parked his car. How rude!!! A guy came out of the car, he is handsome with black hair. He was dressed in casual jeans and a shirt. He directly went inside.
He is so rude! He overtook my car and didn't even apologize!! I will teach him a lesson! I will park my car here! So, I parked my car beside his blocking his car door. Now, he can't open his car's door unless mine or the car on the other side moves.
He will have to say sorry to me!!
Ronnie's POV :Brrr...brrr...My phone vibrated for the seventh time now. I looked at my phone. It's Cait!! Why is she calling me? I told her that I will be in a meeting then why does she keep calling me? I think I should take her call..."Sir, what do you think about this proposal?" someone said. I looked at him confused. I wasn't listening to anything and was just staring at my phone.I sighed."Excuse me for a second."I said getting up from my chair.I went to the corner of the room. My phone started vibrating again. It must be something urgent otherwise why will she keep calling me when she knows that I am in a meeting.I answered her call."Hello!!! Ronnie!!!" Cait said."Yes, love!!!"I said tensed.She is calling me Ronnie instead of Ron or the nicknames she uses lovingly, it means she is angry.
Ronnie's POV :I ring the doorbell for the third time now. Why isn't she opening the door? Yes, our one month is over but that doesn't mean she can neglect to open the door. I sighed and took out my key to unlock the door. I opened the door and went inside."Caitlin!! Caitlin!!"I called out getting in.She isn't answering. Maybe she decided to come late as she is no longer my slave.I sat on the couch smiling. Keys!!! I lift the keys lying on the coffee table...it's the keys that Cait used to have. Why are these keys here? Did she forget them?I kept the keys back on the table. Paper!! What's this paper? I took the paper and opened it. It looks like a note.I read it...Ronnie...our one month is finally over. I have paid back for your watch's repair. You have given my watch back to me. Now, I am not your personal slave anymore and we don't have anything to do with each o
Caitlin's POV :"Master, your coffee." I said.He looked at me and took the coffee mug from me. I turned to go to my room to finish the remaining packing that I have been doing since yesterday night. One month got over yesterday night and now I feel like only crying because I have to leave him."Caitlin!" he said.I turned to look at him surprised. He called me Caitlin at home!!"You don't have to call me master from now on, one month is over and the agreement too." he said. I nodded.He took out my watch from his pocket and said, "Here. Your watch." He gave me the watch and said, " I have treasured it like you used to."I nodded looking at the watch. I feel I am gonna break...all my ties with him are breaking one by one."So, I will leave first for the office." he said getting up from the couch."Ronnie! Will it be ok if I am a little late today?"I asked h
Caitlin's POV :"Bella, take this too. Why aren't you eating? I have all these prepared especially for you."Ronnie said to Bella."Ron, I am really full." she said smiling."No, you have to eat some more." saying this he grabbed the spoon from her plate and scooped food with the spoon."Here, open your mouth!" he said smiling."No, Ron, please." she said smiling."Bella, please, for me." he said and she sighed and took the bite."You are still like a kid." he teased her and both of them started laughing.They are so perfect and happy together. My heart hurts a lot. I wish it was me in her place, but I know that's never gonna happen, he loves only her. I feel like crying...but, I can't cry in front of them."Hey, Caitlin, why aren't you eating anything?" she asked me suddenly.I looked at her surprised."I am eating."I replied forcing a smile.
Ronnie's POV :"That's it." I said.She sighed.I gave her the list of things that she has to make tomorrow. I usually don't care what is made for Bella for her dinner except that it shouldn't have peanuts. My chefs make dinner what they want to make or what Bella tells them to. But, today I am doing this just to make Cait jealous. And I guess it's working because she seems irritated."I will go and get the groceries for tomorrow." she said getting up from the couch."I will also come with you."I said and got up too.I want to go with her not just because I will get a chance to make her jealous but also because I can spend some more time with her and also know what she likes. She will buy what she likes too, right?"You don't have to come. I will bring everything." she said irritated."No, I want to come too."I said and continued, "Let's go."
"That's it." he said. I sighed. He gave me the list of food that I have to make tomorrow and also gave all the instructions that I have to follow while making food for her like, she likes spicy food and that she has an allergy to peanuts. He knows her so well. I am kind of jealous. "I will go and get the groceries for tomorrow."I said getting up from the couch. "I will also come with you." he said and got up too. I looked at him surprised. He wants to come for grocery shopping!! It's the first time he wants to come along. Is this because I am going for buying Bella's dinner? What is she to him that he wants to come for grocery shopping too? What's their relationship? "You don't have to come. I will bring everything."I said irritated. "No, I want to come too." he said and continued, "Let's go." I sighed. He won't listen to me instead I have to do as he tells me
Ronnie's POV :She is so concerned about the bouquet that he gave her...I feel so angry. I can buy the whole shop for her if she wants. I can do that for her! But why do I want to go to that extent for her?"Ronnie!!!" someone said barging into my cabin.I looked up. It's Bella!!!! What??? How can she be here??? She was so angry at me!!!I stood up from my chair surprised. She came and hugged me tightly.Wooohhhh!!! It's really her!!! She is here!!!!"Bella!! You came back!"I said smiling brightly."Yes!" she replied looking into my eyes smiling."But, you were angry with me because I.." I was saying when she interrupted me, "Yes, I was. But, now I am not. You know because you didn't show up that day to help me and the arranged marriage meeting was a success and I was so angry with you. But, after knowing him I realized he is just perfect for me. I am so h
Done! I have Xeroxed all the papers that he asked me to.Now, I have to go and give it to him but, how will I face him? I argued with him for that bouquet and he was angry at that time. What if he is still angry?I think...I should take coffee for him...and this time I will make the best coffee he ever had...the one that I make only for uncle.Ring....ring...I looked at my cell phone...it's Robert. Why did he call me? I picked up the call."Hello!"I said into my phone."Hello! Cait! So, did you like the bouquet? I thought you will call me after getting the flowers but you didn't call so, I thought I should call you." he said.Oops...I forgot that he told me to call him after getting the bouquet. He must be waiting for my call."Yes, I got the flowers. It's beautiful. Thanks for the bouquet. And I am really sorry that I didn't call you back."I lied."N
Ronnie's POV :Knock...knock...Someone knocked on my cabin door and asked, "May I come in, sir?""Come in." I said without looking up."Sir, someone sent these flowers for Miss. Caitlin Snow." the staff servant, Max said.I looked up surprised. Flowers for Caitlin? Who can send her flowers and that too at the office?"Who has sent those?" I asked."I don't know, sir. The guy from bouquet delivery brought these and said it's for Miss. Caitlin Snow." he said."Sir, where should I keep it? Miss. Caitlin is always in your cabin and she doesn't have any personal cabin." he asked me."Just leave it here and go."I said to him.He kept the flower bouquet on the coffee table and went out.After he left I went and picked up the flower bouquet. It has a card attached to it. I opened the card and read.." Cait...this is
