Chapter 119
CHASE GOTTI
I had gone into another room which was closer to my study and I removed my clothes and flung it on the bed. I took a quick shower and wore my boxers leaving my body bare. I then decided to throw in a top and I walked out.
Feeling quite refreshed, I made my way to the kitchen, I had promised Calista that I was going to cook for her and that is what I was going to do. I quickly made her a simple meal and got her some orange juice that I had put together with on a tray and made my way upstairs.
I wasn’t that hungry so I decided not to cook for myself. I knocked on the door and I felt her telling me to come in, which I did.
I walked in with the tray and dropped it on the table saying,
“I hope you are hungry. I made dinner” She stopped drying her hair as she walked over and took a look.
“That’s so kind of you. It really looks nice” She said as I grinned and replied,
“It taste nice too, sit down and have a bite.” I said as she nodded her head. Sitting down, I fed her once and she chewed it.
“Wow this rice is really good. You are so good” she complimented as I just smiled at her and said nothing.
It was really nice seeing us together like this. After a while and after she insisted she fed me too, we were done with dinner and she yawned tiredly. Her phone was buzzing as she reached for it and saw that it was Emma that was calling her.
“I have to pick this. It’s Emma.” She said as I nodded my head and she picked the call saying,
“Hey baby girl.. Yeah sorry I left the party. No I am not sick at all. Just felt tired. Yeah I was with Chase. No I’m still with Chase….. Oh I forgot about that… Nothing is happening. I just ate. I can’t believe you are asking me.”
I watched her talk with her friend before I stood up to give her privacy. It seemed like they were talking about me and She was feeling quite shy saying something because I was seated opposite to her.
I went to the balcony and leaned on the rails, just watching the dark view outside allowing the cold breeze to soothe my body.
“Perhaps it’s time that I ask Calista what Charlotte told her. She has calmed down now and she seems to be in a good mood. There was no better time than this” I said to myself as I felt the watch I was wearing vibrate.
Someone was calling me. I looked at it and saw that the name on the small screen was Profaci. There was only one person that I saved like that and that was Calista’s father.
I slid it up as he said,
“Did you kidnap my daughter without my permission? Where on earth are you? My guys said that you haven’t returned back to your main building ”
“Good evening sir. Calista… Lucia is with me and she is in good hands. Don’t worry. She was feeling quite upset over something and cried so I jumped in to help her. You can trust her with me. No harm will come to her.” I said as I didn’t hear anything from his end for a few minutes before he replied,
“Bring her home tomorrow morning without fail and without any scratch ok..” He said as I smiled a bit and replied,
“I don’t need your reminder sir, about the woman that I love. Don’t worry this time around nothing will happen to her… Goodnight ” I said as I ended the call.
I took a deep breath and walked back inside and saw that Calista was busy looking through some old pictures of me and she was laughing at what she saw.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“You know those pictures weren’t supposed to be found. I hid them” I said as she looked up and asked,
“Why would you? You look so cute. You and your brothers. Anyone seeing this now will hardly recognize that this is the way you turned out to be….. heartless and cold” she said as I frowned and sat down beside her.
“You said that I am heartless, have I been heartless to you?” I asked as she paused and looked at me in my eyes and nodded her head.
“When have I been heartless to you?” I said shocked as she held my hands and said,
“Because you haven’t told me what you feel about me yet or why you are behaving this way. You are no longer the Chase that I know” She said holding my face as I held her hand and said,
“I haven’t changed. I am still the same person you know. I just…. I can’t say it” I said as she looked at me closely.
“You can’t what? ” She said as I shook my head and replied.
“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me. I won’t be able to live with that. Besides you have a new life now. I don’t want to ruin that” I said as she replies,
“I don’t care about my new life. The only thing I want to be with is you. You mean everything to me.” She said as I smiled and asked her,
“Are you sure about what you are saying? If you go down this road… it may be dangerous.” I said trying to get her to back off but she just smiled.
“I can take care of myself dear. I just want to know how you feel about me. That is all.” She said as I nodded my head and brought it closer to her face and said,
“Well then if you are so confident, why don’t I take away your ability to walk tomorrow morning?” I pressed my lips on her.
