🔮 Amara 🔮
[ Her Destiny ]
I screamed in horror as he stares at me perplexed. The jacket I held fell from my hand to the floor. My eyes widens, his six packs stares at me.
"Am so sorry sir." I stutter as I hastily bent my head low.
"Why the fuck are you here?." He asks surprised. I didn't raise my head up, I'll go blind if I do.
"I.....I...came to drop your jacket. I'll take my leave now." I rushed my words as I moved towards the door.
Collins
I close my door gently, am stressed out. I guess a quick bath will cool me down. I got unclad and went straight to the bathroom.
I came out with a white towel tied round my waist, I made use of another towel to dry my hair. I wanted to walk to my closet but a scream appalled me making me glance at the direction of the scream. It's Amara, next to my bed.
I didn't even notice she's here. How did she get in here??. I thought I locked the door....or did It??. Damn! Am so confused. I threw a brief look at the cloth she held, it fell to the floor. Its my jacket.....
"Am so sorry sir." She stutters as she bent her head low facing the floor.
"Why the fuck are you here?." I managed to ask because am surprised.
She rushed her words still not raising her head up. "I....I....came to drop your jacket. I'll take my leave now."
She slowly lifts up her head with her eyes closed and moves towards the door.
A smirk formed on my lips, she looks kinda funny when her eyes widened.
Unknown reason to me, I somehow do not feel mad. It's bizarre because what's happening to me isn't what Collins Edward would tolerate.
I sigh and picked up the jacket on the floor. My phone rang from the couch, I walked next to it and grab my phone. Stared at the caller 🆔, Mrs Hannah.
📱 Yeah?. ..
Amara
I slam the door shut in a hurry as I got into my room.
Gosh! I screwed up!. I should have left his room on time. I felt my heart race when I glimpse at his six packs.
He looks so ho as drops of water dribs from his body. I couldn't help but to stare at him. Thank goodness, I quickly avert my eyes to the floor, I would have gone blind. He has the body of a demigod.
I awkwardly smiled as I squat to the floor leaning my back against the door. I don't think am gonna leave this room, how will I face him if i leave my room?.
"Silly me!." I uttered hitting my head gently. I glimpse at my bracelet and glare at it.
"You....! Why didn't you warn me earlier. You should have at least blink to notify me Collins was in his bathroom." I mumbled.
Geez! Am going crazy. Am speaking to an object....
A knock on my door startles me. I stood up quickly and held the door knob, gosh! What am I gonna do??. Collins is at my door step.
"Breathe Amara. Breathe." I mutter and slowly open the door.
"Huh?." I mouthed.
A woman who looks like she's in her fifties is at my door step, she beamed a smile as we both stare at each other.
"Sorry...who are you?." I asked with a quizzical look.
She touched her chest and voiced out politely. "Am Mrs Hannah, Mr Collins cook."
"Oh." I mouthed since I have nothing to say.
"Dinner is ready." She tells.
I never knew he has a cook.
"Ok....but."
She cuts me off. "Mr Collins is downstairs waiting for you."
I nod and fake a smile. "Okay. I'll be there. Thanks ma'am." I say.
She just beamed her response and left. I guess my plans of not leaving this room failed.....
I walked out of my room and close the door. I breathe in countless times as I descend down the stairs.
"Calm down Amara....you can do this! Just don't look at him in the eyes." I mutter to myself.
I sight him in the dinning room chewing on his meal, he fixed his gaze on his food not sparing me a glance.
I silently took my seat, grab my fork beside my meal and dig in. An inconvenient quietness took over, I didn't bother to stare at him as i just faced my food.
"So......." He began and speaks up. "Why didn't you knock Amara?." He asked.
My heart skips, I still didn't raise up my head. I bit my lips nervously as I played with my food.
"Am sorry sir. I knocked but there was no response." I say.
He kept mute for a while and voices out. "We're flying back to New York tomorrow. Ready your stuffs." He tells not taking his eyes off his food.
I look at him this time and reply. "Okay sir."
He didn't stare at me till he finished eating. I carried our empty plates as we both stood up at the same time. I bow a little at him and turned to leave for the kitchen. Oh and by the way, Mrs Hannah is a very good cook! I have to admit I enjoyed the mashed potatoes she made.
"Hey....." I heard him half yell at me. The next thing I felt is Collins hands wrapped on my waist, his hard chest pressed against mine, he stares at me as I reciprocate.
We got lost in staring at each other for a while.
He clears his throat as I got back to my senses and slowly, he removed his arms on my waist.
"You almost fell, uhm..be careful." He says numbly and climbs up the stairs.
