Sinful Love

CHAPTER 16

Morning was more awkward than the day before. The 3 of them could hardly look at each other during breakfast. Thankfully, Zaden had a meeting with one of his managers and left to the city. Orion kept his distance from Selena because every time he gets closer to her, her taste comes back to his tongue. Eventually they bumped against each other. She crossed her hands over her chest and leaned over a door frame. She pursed her lips and raised her eyebrow. Orion became uncomfortable at her reaction and rubbed his neck with his hand. He understand that eventually, he has to face her.

“Look, I’m sorry for the way I behaved yesterday. Both times… I don’t know what got into me” he was formulating more lines before she stopped him.

“Apology accepted. I hope this means such act won’t be repeated?” she slightly tilted her head and Orion nodded

“Ok, let’s go. Oliver is waiting out there” they patched up but she still had a small alarm bell, deep down her heart. The day went by fine and Selena is always accompanied by Jeffry or Oliver when she was with Orion. The wooden slab letter translation took time, Makeala had to rewrite each sentence so that it will look bigger and then the elders would translate it, she would write it down into another paper. Plus, the elders need their rest, time to eat and their personal affairs to be taken care of, too. Zaden and Orion had to stay back till they figure out what is the letter about.

Later that evening, Zaden came back. He must have gone shopping before attending the meeting because now he is wearing a silk black shirt with a grey trousers and looking dashing than ever. He walked into the yard with his hands in his pant pocket, his usual relaxed but arrogant mannerism. He saw Selena from far, sitting on her father’s lap, on a rattan swing at their front porch and her brother, Aaron feeding her with oats from an opposite chair. He said something, making Selena laugh. No wonder why she was fine with being feed or feeding others food, it is not affection, it’s just what she is used to. When they were done, she noticed Zaden coming towards them. Leonardo received a phone call and got busy answering that while Aaron had gone inside the house to discard the soiled dishes. Zaden came to stand in front of her and winked both his eyes with a smile. Selena frowned, just a wink? Orion had said he is sorry like a hundred time but Zaden doesn’t seemed to be bothered. Arrogance by blood, probably.
