Arabella did not know what about the text made her feel jelly, maybe it would be because this was the first person who had shown interest in her in a long while. She tried to compose herself but she knew for a fact that she would be singing so happily in the shower this morning. She replied to the message and then it on her robe. She wanted to thank Kieran for yesterday but she still wanted to avoid him at all costs. She did not know why but she felt the need to do so. As gently and slowly as she could get she climbed down the stairs and waited down at the table. When Everly saw her she was joyed. "I was thinking of bringing your breakfast to you but here you are already" "I have to exercise the legs so it can heal faster" she replied with a smile. "That makes sense" "Is Kieran still at home or has he gone to work?" "I just hope you are not thinking of going to work?" "Even if I wanted to I know I would just be a nuisance who can not get any work done to my colleagues" "Of cou

The phone dropped from her hand to the bed and her heart dropped to her stomach. What was the reason he was calling her? She did not want to make any assumptions so she picked up and put the phone to her ear. "I hope I am not disrupting your work?" he asked. His voice was gentle and quiet. She wanted to close her eyes and hear him speak for a long while. "No" she answered sharply and regretted it immediately. Her answer made it seem as if she was at war with him. "Am I perhaps calling at the wrong time?" he followed up. His question made her know that she came off as sharp and rude. "No I am not at work or doing anything at the moment" she answered. She wanted to go into details of how she just finished breakfast and the next thing to do was for her to freshen up but she decided against it. She had not known that man for up to twenty-four hours why should he know so many details? "Then why it did take you so long to pick up?" he sounded so gentle that even though she thought he w

In no time Arabella was well and able to resume back to work. It was her first day at work after almost two weeks it felt like she was just resuming all over again."I am so excited to see you" Chole squealed as she looped her hands into Arabella's arm. Arabella studied her face. This girl barely knew her so why was she so excited to see her? "I am dead serious" Chole added when she read the expression on her face. Chole knew it might be hard to believe what she was saying but she was only being sincere with her. She indeed missed her. Maybe she was getting ahead of herself and getting overly excited that she might finally have someone to call a friend in her. She had been lonely in the office especially because of her tank at work. "I guess I missed you too," Arabella said.Chole smiled toothily which gave her a warm feeling. "You don't have to say it if you don't mean it yet, I am sure you will mean it very soon," she said with a wink.Arabella was thrown back by her strong and c

Arabella trudged home as she was barely able to lift her body. As she made it to the entrance of the mansion where she now lived her phone vibrated in her pocket. She sighed as she pulled it out and looked at the screen.She shook her head in annoyance as she forgot what she had to do. Aurora had given her so much work, that it was as if she was working hard to make sure she quit the job. She had eaten her lunch while printing out a whole manuscript to read when she could read it digitally, make corrections to it, and then do the final printing.She watched the call ring and then fall into voice mail. She did not want to ignore his call but wanted to be the one to call her back since she promised to do so. The workload she had taken on in a day all by herself was too much and she hoped that Kieran and the others would be back soon so Aurora would not go on with her power trip.she opened up her phone and dialed his number back before he would have the opportunity to do so."Hello, Ara

Kieran stood watching her go, he had been worried about her and that was the reason he left the retreat to come home. He could not tell why he was worried about her but he knew he had to come home and check on her.She was fine and he felt stupid for worrying. She was even planning a date with someone. He did not know why the date affected him but he just knew that since she came to live with them he could not sort out his feelings."Honey, why are you standing here looking so lost in thought?" Everly's voice came out of the house snapping him back to reality."What?" he said in confusion looking at his mom who was standing at a distance holding the door open."What are you doing at home? I thought you travelled for work?" she asked again watching his face and the confused expression she had never seen before cloud his face."I came early" he said but it was obvious his mind was not in what he was saying."Is something bothering
