He walked in with the sheets wrapped around his waist, he looked handsome standing beside me, she was about hitting me when he walked into the room. I could notice fear written all over Dalton’s face. I know how Kelvin is important for him and his father’s company, he is their biggest investor and a reputable business tycoon like Kelvin is hard to find.
“Ricci.” Dalton says.
“What’s going on baby?.” Kelvin asks, he wraps his hand around my waist. A wave of adrenaline flowing through my veins, his touch made me smile.
“Remember my ex boyfriend and roommate.” I ask.
“Oh the cheating bastard.” He smiles and I nod.
He walks toward Dalton.
“Thank you.” We all were confused by his action. “If you hadn’t cheated on her she won’t be mine today.”
“She is a whore.” Dalton muttered against his breath.
“If I were you I would be careful with the choice of my words, don’t speak about my girlfriend in that manner.”
A smile of victory appeared on my face when I saw his eyes widened and Sara was shocked.
“Come on baby, don’t waste your time with them. Let’s get packing.” I smile.
He walks toward me, he made sure to place a kiss on my lips before leaving.
“You are dating him.” Dalton asks and I roll my eyes.
“She is nothing but a whore, I’m sure she slept with him.”
“I did and what are you going to do about it, you can keep leaving in this stupid apartment all alone because I know Dalton would never ask you to move in with him.” I gritted through my teeth.
I know the man more than he knows himself, all these while I kept overlooking all his mistakes because of love, I struggled financially when I had a boyfriend that could help me get a job, I graduated from school with a good grade, I had some experiences working in a standard office but Dalton watched me struggle.
I didn’t even want him money, all I wanted was for him to help me get a job, I can take care of myself and my father but he never once tried, he watched me fall many times and he never tried to pick me up.
“And the money you paid for my dad’s treatment I will be sending it back to you.” I smile.
I don’t want to be indebted to the bastard.
I walk back into my room, Kelvin was not in sight, hearing the shower on I knew where he was. I took off my clothes and joined him.
“I’m sorry about that.”
“It’s no problem, I hate the bastard.” He says and I smile. “Why would she try and kick you out of the house.” He asks.
“I haven’t paid rent in months, I don’t have a job.”
“Dalton never helped to get you one.” He asks and I nod.
After the shower, I changed into a pair of jeans and a crop top. Kelvin helped me in packing my clothes. I wanted to speak to him about last night but I didn’t want to ruin the moment. I wanted to know why he acted so cold toward me.
“Stop doing that.”
“Doing what?.” I asked.
He playfully glared at me before speaking. “Bending your ass over.” He says and I laugh.
I was trying to get everything packed,
“Mind of the gutter Ricci.” I smile.
“Shut up.” He mumbled against his breath.
Once I was done packing, he helped me take the bags outside, everything that is in this room was bought by me. I’m never coming back here, not even when this contract ends.
I walk outside, I didn’t miss the glare that came from Dalton and Sara.
“Bye Sara.” I smile.
The drive to the his house was long, he never said a word. I tried to speak to him but he cut the conversation short, he is acting rude again. I can’t deal with this everyday, if this is going to work then we have to try and be friends, I can’t have him speaking to me and then after some minutes he won’t speak to him.
I figured I would talk to him later tonight.
“This is your house.” I ask and he nods, it is breathtaking, a mansion I noticed the garden beside the house, it was the first thing that caught my eye, it had different flowers in it. I walked further getting a closer look at it.
When we walked inside the house, I let out a gasp, fuck. The large chandelier that hanged in the middle of the room, the floors were beautiful and the chairs matched with center carpet, not very far from it, is a staircase that lead upstairs, an open plan kitchen. I noticed some staffs.
How wealthy is this man.
“Let’s see your room.” He smiles and I nod.
Now he is nice again.
He walked me upstairs, where he showed me my room. It was twice as big as mine back in the apartment.
A large king size bed in the middle of the room, a dressing mirror against the wall and when I glanced around I noticed a shelf of books and in front of it is a chair and a small carpet. There were two doors against the walls.
I walked into one, it is the bathroom, while I opened the other door I gasped. It is filled with clothes.
“Kelvin.”
“It’s perfect.” He smiles.
I can’t believe he got me all these clothes, I won’t even be needing mine.
“It’s too much.”
“It’s not, do you like it?.” He asks and I nod. “Then that is all that matters.
“Someone will arrange your bags, if you need anything my room is next door.”
“You stay here alone.” I ask and he nods.
“Where is our family.”
“It doesn’t matter.” He says, he didn’t want to talk about it and I know better than to push him to.
Kelvin left me all alone in my room, my new room. I snooped around the room, when I heard a knock from the door.
“Mr. Ricci asked me to help you.” The young girl says.
“Oh I can do that myself.”
“I insist.” She says letting herself into my room.
I’m living the life father always wanted me to live.
