Chapter 46
"Take a guess,"
"Ha? What do you think I'm a fortune teller?" Annoying, he can say that there is or there isn't. That's just one word, the lazy to say!
"Okay, I think you don't have a job... but I also think there is. It's a bit chaotic, I thought it looks like you don't do anything in your house, so what I have in mind is that you don't have a job but you have money so maybe you have a job. "
"Are you listening? Do you get what I'm saying?" I asked him as if he wasn't listening to what I was saying.
"No, explain your trouble. Just find someone to talk to who can understand you." He promised that he would frown at me.
"The same as you!" I looked at him and was about to hit him but I complained because I forgot that I had a wound on my left arm. Why did I even move it!
"Oh, there! You haven't even hit me yet but you're already karmic." Laughing it says.
"Are you laughing so hard? Can I put my fist in your mouth ?!"
At once I showed my fist.
"It's okay if you enter something else." At the same time I was shocked.
I stopped and thought about what he said.
I looked away from him so that he could not see my reddened cheek. What the heck! The dirt of this I'm thinking about now, my god Elyse is probably just teasing.
I bit my nail so hard once I glanced at him, I immediately avoided because I noticed he would turn to me. Did he notice me looking at him? Does he really have eyes in his ears?
"Why are you silent all of a sudden?"
He broke the silence.
"Nothing, I just want to keep quiet." I almost stuttered, it's really good not to.
I was surprised when he suddenly stopped the car and looked at me. "You want to be quiet? Why? What did you eat?" It doesn't seem like an unbelievable question but it's obviously mixed with teasing.
"Is that a joke? You really stopped the car to ask me?" I stared at him angrily.
He didn't answer, just laughed and started the car again.
It's a good thing Elizabeth didn't wake up from what she did, it looks like my son is tired because he's sound asleep. Maybe he was tired of playing with Xander earlier.
_
We arrived at Xander's house, it was very dark outside even though I couldn't see much of his house. Alangan naman! Her house is black, if there is no light and you can't really see.
He got out of the car and I just followed but I didn't break the door of his car first.
I looked around and it was very dark, the sky was still with me, as if it was going to rain for a few seconds.
Only the headlight serves as our light now, it is facing the door of Xander's house, now it looks like his house is haunted.
He walked to the front of the car. My body hair is growing, he looks like a killer that I watch in shows, he really doesn't need to hold a knife to be perfect to be a killer but he seems to be handsome enough to be a murderer isn't he?
"Xander it's dark inside your house."
I don't think I'm a little scared now.
"It's probably unclear."
This is our situation and he is still philosophizing!
I rolled my eyes around again. Maybe there's a ghost and then I suddenly take it or maybe someone will show me a ghost?
"Still light up the case!" I raised my voice so he could really hear.
"Right now?" I was slapped on the forehead because of his question.
"Yes! It's too late tomorrow, isn't it ?!" I am also philosophical. He thought maybe he was the only one who knew how to philosophize!
"What do you think of me with magic? So you went inside--" I didn't let him finish what he was going to say.
"No way, come in alone! I won't go in there if the light isn't on!" My stubbornness
"Are you afraid of the dark?"
"H-No ah! Tsk, b-bat I'm scared." My best promise.
"You're not good at lying Elyse, your voice is so obvious how can you etchura now." He said and I even heard his weak laugh.
"Shut up!" He's really annoying!
"Okay. I'll be the first to go inside, I'll turn on the light and get you back here?"
My eyebrows rose at what he was saying. "Huh? Will you leave me here alone?"
"You're not alone, Elizabeth is there." Yes, but he's asleep now, I still feel like I'm not with him.
"I'm just fast, just go back inside first. All right Elyse." I just followed what he said, I got back in the car and waited for him to return.
Just a few minutes later, the inside of his house lit up and then I saw it come out.
My heart was pounding as he walked to the car. I grabbed my chest once and patted it.
"Just calm down, it's just Xander ... that weird and rude Xander back then." When I talk to myself.
He opened the door for me, I immediately went out.
"I'll take care of Elizabeth."
Saad it and opened the door to the backseat. It removed my son's seatbelt and then lifted him up. I took the cellphone he was holding before it fell, I broke the car door and followed him walking into the house.
We went up the stairs until we reached the bedroom. I opened the door, the two of us entered and he slowly laid my son on the bed.
I smiled as he kissed Elizabeth on the forehead before leaving the room. I approached my son and sat on the side of the bed, I watched his face as he parted his hair.
He is still sound asleep.
I kissed her on the forehead then left the room because I was going to cook but someone stopped me.
My cheeks suddenly turned red when I remembered that Xander also kissed Elizabeth on the forehead. I was slowly touched to my lips and swallowed in succession.
"What are you doing?"
"W-Nothing! I just suddenly thought of something."
"Is it me?"
"Yeah-- este hindi no! Assuming you are!"
My god, I'm about to admit it ... I mean, he's not really what I'm thinking, is he? Diba ?!
"I'm just kidding, you're going to get bored." He shook his head and put his arm around me.
"What! You might touch the wound on my arm." I said and would have removed his hand from my shoulder but he held my hand to stop me.
"No, don't worry. I'll be careful." Why does he need to hug me? What's up? Surprisingly, I think it's okay that he doesn't pay attention to me and doesn't talk to me than now, it's like he hit a big rock because it changed suddenly.
"Let's go," I looked at him in surprise.
"Huh? Where?" I'm confused question. I don't remember we had a walk today? Are we going somewhere? I don't think I'll be informed.
"In the bedroom,"
"WHAT??!" I was shocked by the question.
She covered her mouth and I heard her weak laugh now. "Joke, I mean in the kitchen." I was a little relieved by what he said but I seemed disappointed at the same time ... I was going crazy again! This dirty brain of mine really, what are you thinking now.
He bent down a little so that our faces were equal because I was suddenly nervous. "Am I the cook or are you?"
"A-I," I replied once looking in the other direction.
"I-I pfft ... a-a-what's n-happening to you Elyse." Laughing it said and even managed to really imitate me.
I looked at him intently.
"Are you teasing ?!"
"Quite," I pushed him angrily but he didn't even move.
"Annoying!" I stared at him.
"All right, you'll be bored later. You have to cook now, maybe Elizabeth is already hungry." My annoyance with him seemed to melt away because of what he said. She is worried about my son so my heart suddenly softens with her.
What I thought was really wrong, because I was together I thought he could do that and now he seems to be even more worried about my son. It looks like Elizabeth is his real child.
I thought he didn't want the child because he didn't want my son to be here at first but now, it's like they're fathers. It's just funny because I see that my son doesn't often mention Daren, his cheating dad.
'I miss him ...' I suddenly said in my mind.
"Elyse? Hey?"
I suddenly realized that someone was holding my jaw. "Are you okay?"
I didn't realize that there were tears in my eyes. I felt his hot finger on my cheek and he rubbed it. "You're not okay."
I cried even more as I stared at him. It was as if I could see Daren, that Daren was in front of me now and not Xander. I couldn't stop myself from hugging him.
"Hey? Stop crying," his voice was so soft and I remember Daren, he was like that when I cried.
I immediately lost my hug with him when I realized what I was doing.
"S-Sorry, I just remembered Daren all of a sudden. When I look at you it's D-Daren I see." I immediately wiped the remaining tears from my eyes and also wiped my wet cheeks.
"Daren? Your ex-husband? Elizabeth's father?" He asked as if he wanted to lock up.
"Yes," I replied with a nod.
I noticed the change in his aura, the expression on his face became more serious.
"You hugged me ... you thought that I'm Daren? Like you're imagining that I am him?" In his voice it was as if he was angry, the emotion that was building in his eyes could not be explained.
"I'm sorry--" I didn't finish what I was about to say because he suddenly spoke.
"Okay. It's okay, I'm used to it anyway."
It said at once turning its back on me.
I was stunned for a moment when he left me here. I was shaken and immediately followed him.
I followed him down the stairs.
"Xander? Xander! Just come!" I called him but he didn't even look at me and I didn't hear a single word from him.
I immediately grabbed his hand when I could catch up. "Wait, are you angry?" I asked directly.
He removed my grip on his hand. "No. Why would I? Why did you ask that?"
We were just enemies at the hotel and now are we going to fight again and I don't even know what the reason is ?! I don't even know if he's like that and then I feel it's my fault?
"Kase ... wait a minute. I'm confused, we were okay before, weren't we?"
I asked calmly and looked him in the eye.
He didn't answer, he just stared at me seriously.
When I said that I remembered Daren with him, I just didn't want the expression on his face to change. I don't want to think that he might be jealous ... I don't know, the mess! He should tell me so I know what the problem is.
"Xander? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.
"You'd better just cook don." He just said and left me here. He went up the stairs and I noticed that his hand seemed to be shaking. I just ignored that and started cooking, maybe he was even more annoyed, angry or whatever else he was feeling for me.
When I finished cooking I prepared our meal on the table then I went up the stairs. I was close to the room and I was about to open my room where Elizabeth was sleeping but I think I heard something break inside Xander's room.
"Xander? Xander ??" I noticed that the door was open so I went inside without warning.
I didn't see him here inside but I heard a noise coming from inside the bathroom. It looks like there are things falling in the bathroom so I went in and saw Xander sitting on the side. I was almost hit by the soap that he threw away, but I managed to escape immediately.
"X-Xander?" I slowly approached him and also bowed so that we were equal. I can't see his face because it's bent over.
"Leave me alone Elyse. Just leave me alone. I'm not in the mood right now." I didn't listen to what he said, I turned my gaze to his shaking hand.
He held it and tried to pull his hand back from mine but I used all my strength to stop him.
"What is it Xander! I told you when you're not okay I'm just here!"
I could see her tears dripping down her knees.
"F ** k! I told you to leave me first! H-Don't you understand!" He shouted at me.
I stopped, I was suddenly stunned by her as I saw tears dripping down her cheeks.
"W-What's the problem? Can you tell me ..."
"The f ** k? You don't really know what's the problem?" He tried to laugh.
"You know what I hate? When someone hugs me, but then they're thinking of someone else!"
I was dumbfounded by what it said. I hugged him and then Daren was on my mind.
"You're just like her, my mom. She only hugs me when she remembered Xavier. All those years I thought that f**king hug is for me, that she saw me as Xander but no. She hugs me because she thought of him, he sees me as Xavier. She thought I was with Xavier once. " I don't know why my tears are dripping now while looking at her like that.
"And do you know what's funny? I once heard him say that I was the one who disappeared and he wasn't, because he loves it more..."
"W-Who's Xavier?"
"My twin brother,"
