Chapter 92 Chapter 92
Selena
It has been eight days since the incident with Josh. And these past eight days were entangled with heart-fluttering beats, and it was all because of Theo.
It has been peaceful since the party, and that was because Theo doesn't let me out. He doesn't leave my room either.
For the past five days, we eat, sleep, and mostly worked.
At first, I couldn't get used to being idle. That wasn't the reason why I was here. I was here for work, but there was no work, and every time I wanted to complain, I was reminded that my boss was here.
I have to enjoy the moment of being able to rest without being bothered about everything. Josh was fine and he was being cared for by Halley.
So I spent my time either watching Theodore work, or watching him draw in his scratch book. Sometimes he had asked me to stay put, his eyes to mine as he drew.
As usual, he’ll refuse to let me see the drawing. He was filled with so many secrets.
And now, I look forward to the sex. Sex with Theodore was heavenly, each turn, each stroke of him, was enough to engrave my soul.
Being in the same space for four days, I have come to realize Theodore doesn't speak much, more like He didn't know how to, and even when he speaks, it was about me, nothing of him.
Another enticing thing was his little smiles whenever I did something. But Theodore may not know how often his lips stretched into a smile, followed by a little headshake.
It was comforting, just being here with him.
But yesterday, he suddenly wanted to go out. I had asked if I could come with him. Yes, I was pushing my boundaries, but Theodore has never made me feel that way.
But he had refused, then he left with a promise to come back early.
Only for him not to return, leaving me restless. There was no one to ask. Svetlana didn't know much.
So I waited and when he called, he said he won’t be coming back, and my heart ached.
And that must explain the pain that stretched in my heart as I look at him now.
Something must have happened for him to look at me this way.
But he won’t say; instead, he has decided to ask about me again.
I rest my head on his chest, his hand combing through my hair, the other on my bare thigh. I sighed, taking a deep breath because of his hand sending shivers down my thigh.
“Tell me, Selena. What do you want? Is there anything you have ever dreamed of?” He asked again.
I moaned at the comfort as he ran his fingers through my scalp.
“Everything I’ve always wanted, I have it.” I started.
“ To be able to live comfortably. For Josh to get into a good university. To get a good pay to provide for us, I got everything.” I murmured, his fingers massaging my scalp doing wonders. But then…
I snapped my eyes open at the words that just slipped out of me.
According to my profile, I was from a rich family, who didn't have to worry about those, now I have just exposed myself.
“I…I—”
“Then what country do you want to visit?” He asked and I swallowed out of relief. Maybe he didn't hear me fully.
“Larisa said girls always have countries that they want to visit. Tell me, what’s yours?”
I relaxed back into his arms, and his hands resumed the message.
“ I've always found comfort in watching K-dramas.” I turned to him. “You know what Kdrama is?”
I won't be surprised if he doesn't. It was a world apart.
“I do.”
My eyes widened, my lips curling into a smile.
“Really? When? You didn't seem like one to watch kdramas.” Maybe he watches horror or violent content. That will be more believable.
“I happened to.” His voice deepened.
That was it.
A frown settled on my face. He wasn't going to say more. Why won’t he say the situation that allowed him to?
I swallowed. There was nothing I could do about it. He was like that.
“I want to visit Korea, you know, there are a lot of tourist spots. That would be fun.” Why sweat because he won't tell me anything? Maybe he didn't trust me yet, and still sees me as a threat. .
“Mm. What else?”
I looked up at him. “Are you going to take me through all?” I asked, my eyes hoping.
He doesn't say anything, his eyes stare intensely at me.
Not able to hold contact, I broke the gaze and pressed my lips together.
"What else do you want to do?”I hear him ask again, but I already knew what I wanted.
University.
I have always wanted to get into a university. Not the cheap ones the younger me took online just so I could get a good job.But an actual university surrounded by students.
How nice would that be?
But I couldn't tell him.
“What about University?”
My eyes widened and I forced my bones not to move and looked at him.
Have I been found out? Or have I been long exposed? What’s going to be my fate now?
Will I be shot dead now for lying?
“Dont you ever want to experience a real university? Not one that is too private not to be known to the outside world because of your parents, but an actual university.”
“I…—” I was rendered speechless. It was like he could read my mind in a different font.
What was Theodore? There was more to him than I didn't understand.
I swallowed. “Yes yes. It’ll be nice to experience that. There was no fun in my old one. It was boring.” I laughed, all fake.
“But I’m getting older, so… so I should be working….”
“Apart from working, what else do you want to be? I can place you anywhere of your choice.”
“You don't have to, I—”
“Say it, Selena.”
I bit my lips.
I have always wanted to be a news reporter. It was cool to be looked at as a child.
Theo’s eyes weren't locking down.
“Ah…” I laughed. “A reporter. I have always wanted to see myself on the TV, childish right?” My face flushed in embarrassment.
“It isn't. You would look beautiful on the TV.”
I looked at Theo, at his words. But he wasn't looking at me, he seemed to be filled with thought and then he smiled.
Just what was he thinking?
In the morning, I had woken up to see that Theo wasn't by my side, and I didn't see him for the next three hours. Then suddenly Svetlana entered my room, and before I knew it, I was being dragged out, to the rooftop.
I gasped.
Theo was standing in front of a white jet, a little Korean flag painted on its wings.
“We are going to Korea!” Svetlana screamed.
