Chapter 40
Carson’s pov
I looked at the clock ticking loudly. I was fed up of this conference.
“Can you rap things up?”
Everyone turned to look at me while I clicked my pen on my face impatiently. Mr Sebastian continued to talk. After long talks the conference was over. I got up and headed out. I was in a hurry, I haven’t seen Valarie’s face for 3 days now. I was so worried.
I used the back door of the huge restaurant to avoid parrazi. Benson opened the car door for me and I entered hurriedly. I sat down quietly thinking about Valarie while the driver took me home. How could I be this obsessed with someone? I thought it wasn’t possible anymore, and she showed me I can love again.
“Mr Carson!” Benson tapped me rapidly.
“Y-yes!”
“You said you wanted to talk to me.”
Oh ya I did, I was thinking of getting Valarie a gift. “What’s a goog gift to give a girl?” Benson stared at me in disbelief “are you just gonna look at me?”
“No, no I mean you haven’t asked me of anything of this sort.”
“Now I’m asking you” I said nonchalantly
“Most girls prefer cute things as gifts. I think getting her a flower or a teddy bear would be nice.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
That was it I am gonna buy her “stop at a flower shop.” I told the driver. “Which color do you think I should get her?”
“Sir I d-dont kn-”
“Why I’m I even asking you for romantic opinions.” I said pouring myself a bottle of cocktail. After some minutes we landed at a flower shop, I wore my glasses and ruffled my hair so I won’t be recognized. I got out of the car and walked into the shop
The dangling sound of the bell sounded through the room when I opened the door. I saw an old woman sitting over the counter.
“Good day young man. How can I help you?” The old woman approached me with an ugly smile.
“I need flowers.”
“We have different varieties, make a choice young man.”
I don’t know what to pick. Shit I cursed under my breath. “Give me a moment.” What was I gonna do? Probably check Google, that’s very foolish, but the only option I had. The first thing I saw was red roses, I’m pretty sure she would love them. “I’ll take a mixed red roses bouquet.” after a while the old woman gave me the boutique. It was really large like I requested, I paid and left the store.
After an akward silence between me and Benson I arrived my mansion. The butler came out to open the door while I was greeted by the house keepers. I held the flowers and teddy bear in my hand tightly, I walked up the stairs to valarie’s room. I felt so nervous for the first time because of a girl, I could feel my toes curl up and I became sweaty for no reason. What was this feeling. I leaned against the wall to try calm down myself
“Is Carson back?”
She was concerned, quite surprising. I took a deep breath and walked towards her door, she faced the window with her maid.
“My little rabbit.” I said walking over trying so hard to hide my shaky voice.
“Huh.” Valarie turned around quickly.
A bright smile displayed on her face. “I got you a present.” I said walking over to her bed. The smile got brighter and i felt relieved. Pheww I sighed under my breath, I brought out the boutique from my back and handed it over to her.
She took the flowers. “Thank you.” The smile on her face disappeared immediately.
“How are you?” I signaled her maid to leave us. “Why the sudden mood swing” I said looking at her beautiful endowed face.
“Where were you?”
“Why is that meant to bother you.”
“Because I m- yunno what, I don’t care.” She said turning her face away. I know she missed me I sat down look at her.
“Do you like the flowers, I bought everything for you”
“It’s alright”
I stood up walking towards the door. “I hope you really like the gifts.” I said closing the door and walking to my room. I opened the large doors of my room revealing a dark atmosphere, I hung my coat by the sides of the wall and I dropped my keys in my drawer. I went ahead to light the Scented candles round my room. I heard a gentle knock on the door. I think it’s one of the maids.
“Prepare my bath, immediately.”
“It’s prepared sir.”
“who left my door opened?”
“Sir you didn’t lock your door when you left.”
“Alright, you may leave.”
I turned back packing my hair into a little bun and tieing a towel below my waist. I was welcomed with the tangy scent of vanilla as I got into the hot tub and soaked for a while, listening to calm music playing from my speakers. I scrubbed myself alone and got out of the hot tub.
I dried my hair with a towel and tied my robe. I heard a loud thud from my room. What was that sound, it’s so suspicious. I pulled out a gun from my supplies drawer, I loaded my gun and tiptoed to the side of the door opening it quietly. I didn’t see anyone there. I walked out slowly looking around if I could find anyone. No one was here. So what was that ? I walked over to my table to find my dior perfume on the floor in pieces. My other perfumes weren’t in good condition. I looked around for one last time and no one was there. I went I to the bathroom to continue what I didn’t finish. Until I heard another sound. I rushed out of the bathroom immediately to see Valarie looking for something in my cupboard.
“Valarie!” I shouted her name and she froze instantly. “What’s going on here.”
I said moving towards her, she looked at me surprised.
“I- I’m just cleaning.” She looked up at me with my wet hair dripping. I carried her up
“Don’t lie to me.” Why are you here?” I said going closer
“I told you I just came to clean.”
She kept walking backwards till she reached the wall, I quickly held the opportunity to trap her. I pinned her to the wall quickly. “First you behave like I don’t exist now you’re in my room trying to do what, steal from me?” I said looking directly in her green sparkling eyes.
“I wasn’t stealing, get away from me.”
She screamed at me.
I looked down at her “do you know you tempt me.” I looked at her emerald eyes. She swallowed hard looking at me. I moved closer holding her chin up. My hands brussed her lips, moving closer I couldn’t hold the urge to kiss her I pulled her into a kiss. Her soft lips against mine was amazing while her cupcakes scent filled my nose making it more enticing. I felt her moan a little and I stopped to look at her. “If you be a good girl maybe you might be my favorite.” Said leaning down to her neck sucking her collar and romancing her, she tried to escape my grip.
“Ca-car.. Carson pleasee stop.” She battled to fight saying those words. I immediately stopped at looked at her.
