Chapter 93 Mabel

Chapter 93 Mabel
Arihya POV

The look he gave me reminded of the heat in his eyes as I’d sat spread-eagled on his bathroom counter. I glanced away and tried to calm my racing heart.

He took me to another house and I wasn’t surprised. Cassian seemed to be back fully maybe I'm just fooling myself.

“How wrong was it?” he drawled, glancing at my bare finger. “And here I was, sure this wouldn't be messy.” He was mocking me.

I wouldn't be in this situation if my parents weren't greedy people and I knew it deep inside that things would’ve been different if he had stayed but he didn’t.

He has had his own family problems and divorce but I didn't even want the details.

I’d resent him for him for leaving me but my joy couldn't be contained when I realized he really left her but I don't know where we both stand right now.

“I have an idea....why don’t you save us both the trouble and not pretend to care?”

“Someone has to and can’t say I’m surprised, though but I didn't know you had the balls to fight Zayn and Omar without going to jail.”

A bitter laugh escaped me, and I turned my head to look out the window.

“Go to hell, Cassian.”

I don't know what the hell was going on with him, men don't have mood swings or do they?
I asked Mabel over the phone immediately I entered into the apartment and it was furnished and everything I needed was there but few hours later the rest of my stuff were brought in and arranged and I don't still understand what this meant.

Mabel is my long time friend from Houston and she knows everything going on with me. She hangs up after getting my new address and shows up within an hour.

"Wow, he got you this place." She asked immediately she stepped in.

"Mabel are you listening, he has been watching me, isn't that creepy?"

" Actually I find that sexy."

She said grinning as she settled on the couch.

" Seriously, do you see yourself been a stepmom."

" What is wrong with you."

"I'm just saying........ He seems to be back because of you and you obviously still like him. It's not like you ever been in a proper relationship."

“I know.” I sighed and shoved a cucumber slice in my mouth.

“ it is a good thing the divorce happened because you can't continue living your life like that.” She shivered.

Mabel had so far escaped the same fate with her husband Richard only because she was dealing with infertility or, so she claimed, anyway.

“Maybe I should have move from Dubai.” My mom still thinks I'm selfish for showing myself.

My mom would stay angry and wouldn't allow me even speak to my father.

“What?” She sounded incredulous. “You don’t mean that.”

“No, of course not,” I said quickly. Right . . .?

“I’m just tired, is all. Mabel is my friend but I didn't want her to know everything about my life crisis”

Valentina laughed. “Your mother did that right?”

“Apparently, she thinks I can't bear little suffering for the family.”

I give up hiding, speaking up actually lighten my burden and Mabel is the only one I could speak with.

“Lord, your mother is really something else. What mother wants her daughter get punished for something she knows nothing about?”

“No mother,” I smiled sadly.

“im hoping she would change her mind soon and come around.”

“So what about the old house and how did you both meet. I want to know."

I groaned. “Honestly, I was outside when I heard his voice and that it nothing special, he drove me here and I don't know how he did it but my stuff are now here.”

She laughed. “Cassian, is really the man he thinks he is. Sometimes hot, hot and also cold cold.”

“True,” i sighed. “At some point, I genuinely thought he had mood swings because I dont just understand him.”

“So . . . how’s he looking these days?”

I ate another cucumber with a crunch. “Who?”

“Cassian, of course.”

The vision of him standing in front of me a few hours ago with his hands in his pockets and his lazy gaze on me, floated through my mind. An annoying warmth spread through my body.

“Good,” I grumbled.

She laughed. “That good, huh?”

Crunch.

“Gosh, maybe you two should just have sex, have a baby, get married and actually call it a day.”

A frown pulled on my lips. “I’d rather sleep with alone not after he left me for months without reaching out.”

"I mean, what kind of guy goes down on a girl and then doesn’t even call her back so she can reciprocate but are you sure you don't want him again?"

“I have too much pride to ever let Cassian touch me again and there’s no better way to tell a woman you’re not interested than leaving her naked in your bed for five months.”

“Touché.”

“Besides, I’m not interested anyway.”

Mabel made a hmm noise and I glanced at her. “What?”

“Nothing.”

“Oh, for goodness’ sake, just spit it out.”

“If you don’t want anything to do with him, then what do you think of me trying my hand?”

I laughed in disbelief. “With cassian?”

She nodded.

Oh, my god, she was serious. My amusement dropped with my stomach. “Why on Earth would you want to do that?”

“Please, have you seen him?”

"He's wealthy not rich, handsome and have a good body build."

“Of course, but weren’t we just talking about what an asshole he is?”

“What do they say . . . the bigger the asshole, the better he is in bed?”

“I don’t think they say that, though.”

"It's just you finding a way to sleep with the man tormenting my life and it won't happen under my watch. "

" I smile jealously, Mabel said grinning and grabbing a slice of cucumber again."
