Chapter 88
Thea
Angel was nowhere in the room when I woke up the next day. I naturally assumed he had gone out early just like the other day.
No breakfast in bed? I sighed a little dissapointed.
I decided to take a shower before heading downstairs to know what was for breakfast. This was tbe second day in a row I was sleeping at Angel’s room and I didn’t feel like going back to my room.
I went downstairs once I was ready and headed to the kitchen. There I saw Camilo and Florentine making breakfast.
“What’s for breakfast?” I asked pulling a chair out to sit.
” Good morning to you too Thea.” Florentine greeted sarcastically and I nodded knowingly.
“My bad.” I said and Camilo laughed at the both of us. “What’s that?”
I asked Camilo pointing at the mixture of flour she had on a bowl.
“Pancakes….” She said and I nodded as well. I knew nothing about baking. “Want to help?” She asked further and my lips stretched into a smile. I stood up from my chair and went to her.
“We learn everyday.” I said hinting on the fact that I had no idea what I was supposed to do to help out. We both giggled hitting each other’s shoulder and soon we continued the process. Most of the work was done and all that needed to be done was to fry the mixture. I hurt my finger when I tried to do some and became a subject of mockery for the ladies.
“Here….” Florentine said passing me a cup of hot chocolate.
“Thanks….” I replied still blowing my finger that was slightly burnt. Camilo sprinkled some honey over the pancakes to add as dressing to it then she passed me a plate.
“Long night right?” Camilo asked and I knew she was about to tease me but hell no! not in front of Florentine.
“Angel said not to disturb you… guess you were really exhausted.” My lips parted in shock when Florentine chipped in. I could see the amusement on their faces and it made me slightly embarrassed.
“You too Florentine?”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“I didn’t say anything.” She said but burst into laughter the next minute while Camilo followed suit.
I huffed at them and my face settled with a frown as I took a bite of my pancake.
“And what about you Camilo? Dosen’t Caspian… ?”
” Oh no! Gross… gross.” they both cut me off showing disgust.
“You started it first.” I huffed again. They were unbelievable. I didn’t know Florentine had a naughty side to her.
“Don’t pay attention to us Thea.”
“Oh! I hate myself for trying to play down to your level.” Florentine said wiping her lips with a napkin. She stuck out her tongue in disgust and I couldn’t help but laugh at her.
“Hey….” I held my hand out to Camilo. “… So when do you get to see your brother?” The thought had gotten into my mind every now and then since Camilo told me. I wished within me that I got the chance to see my mum as well.
“Caspian hasn’t mentioned but I know it wouldn’t be long.” She answered seeming assured.” I sighed deeply and pulled my hand away from her. “I wish I were you.” I muttered but she heard me and wore a sad expression on er face.
“Maybe Angel would come around.”
“What if I request it?”
“Don’t try… If Angel wanted you to meet your mum he would have made sure of it. He still thinks you want to escape.” Florentine advised against it and I relaxed back on my chair feeling dissapointed.
We had cleared the dish after eating and an hour later Florentine and Camilo were getting ready to bake cake this time. I wore an apron but decided to sit and watch instead.
I looked across the table to find a little box Florentine had come downstairs with. I didn’t think it was any of my business but my curiousity got me.
“What’s that?” I pointed towards the box and their eyes followed.
“Oh that… Something I wanted to give you. She brought the box placing it beside me as she began unboxing.
A phone? Not even a smart phone?
“You can only call the men and me with it so get rid of any thought about calling anyone else. ”
She warned me in time. Camilo seemed casual about it but said congrats to me anyway and I thanked Florentine although not seeing the use of it if I couldn’t call anyone outside the mansion.
“What about Camilo?”
“Oh… Caspian got me one a long time ago.” I nodded to her reply. I turned the phone side to side as if hoping to find something interesting in it.
“So, can I text someone with it like now?”
” Sure….” Florentine said and went back whisking the eggs. I placed the phone down on my thighs then I decided to go through the contacts. Indeed it was just the men and Florentine saved here.
I stared at Angel’s name for a while with a smile creeping up my face as I basked in the memoriee of the previous night. I opened his name in the message space. What exactly was I doing?
I found my fingers typing, clearing each message at the same time unsure of what to say.
‘Angel….’
I typed and sent without thinking. My heart thud loud against my ears. I looked over at the ladies hoping they were so focused not to notice me typing. I startled the moment a message notification dropped.
It was him. Angel replied to my message!
