Capítulo 12: Chapter 12
Claire woked up with a start as she flipped her eyes open and jerked up from the bed. she rushed to her phone that was in the table and checked the time.
"Oh my God ". Her hands flew to her mouth.
'Fuck it'... Claire bit down on her lips as she stamped her foot on the floor and grind the heel of her palm on her forehead.
Shit.. She muttered, it was past seven In the morning and kelvin would have left for work.
Breathing out, Claire sat gingerly as she pulled the chair. she was no longer sure if she could still see him this night . she doubt as she picked up a book, tearing out a page she wrote down her questions .
After that, she went into the bathroom and took her bath. later she and Azra got down to the activities Azra set up the previous day.
"Ma'am". An excited Azra called as she approached Claire. They were going out to shop the things they would need for killing the boredom.
Looking at her from hair to toe, claire nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's be quick. " she snapped her fingers.
Though claire wasn't kin on doing anything in particular, she couldn't refuse the eagerness and excitement of the young lady beside her. Actually looking at their age difference, claire only gave her two years gap but she took her as a younger sister.
As they both entered the car and drove out Claire's mind driffted to kelvin. she wondered if he was avoiding her or... she shook her head. 'What am I thinking ', claire blinked her eyes. its better he avoids her, she would live as if he doesn't exist.
The atmosphere at the Morgan's beauty world was full of glamour. it was the day of changing of seat of general Morgan. Kelvin was full of spirit as he was the one that would accept the seat.
Breathing out, he ran his hand through his hair. he had worked hard for it. sacrificing another five years if his life to study every course his father pinpointed. remembering something, he went down to his father's office.
"Dad you called me earlier. " kelvin said as he took a seat opposite his father.
"Yes. "Mr Ben nod.
"I have been looking forward to see your wife but -"
"Dad! " kelvin hissed, "Claire is not coming -"
"Why? " Mr Ben was speechless. he wondered why his wife wouldn't come on this great day of her husband. he vividly remembered when he was still serving the nation and establishing the company. no matter how busy his wife was, she attended his ascending ceremony.
"Why? " kelvin mused, "because I didn't tell -"
"I don't want her to come and its fine by me. " he tapped his chest.
Utter shock rendered Mr Ben speechless at the outburst if his son. coming out of it he asked.
"Any reason? "
"I just don't want her to come dad. " kelvin pinched his brows as his jaw ticked. he has his reason of not mentioning it. he wouldn't risk himself of being exposed of getting married.
Not even his friends knew, so he wouldn't want the scenario of supporting wife to play in the company. and also his father won't spare him if Claire was to step foot in this place today.
Shrugging, Mr Ben said
"Its your wife...only you can treat your family best. "
After staying with him for some minutes kelvin went back to his own office to answer a call.
"Hi honey. "A female voice resonated from the other side.
"Hey. "
"You sound bored. " she breathed out.
"Yeah, looking for some one to kill it with. "Kelvin smirked.
"I would be over in two days. "
"Really? " kelvin licked his lips, "I'm more than happy. "
Linda,... Kelvin rubbed his hands together as a smile splayed his face. she was an old fly that doesn't want to perch off and also he's not ready to let her perch off... atleast not now.
A throaty laugh escape his mouth. he had seen what he would pass time with. moreover no one would ever refuse a free, delicious and sweet food.
.........
Falling into her bed with a thud, claire heaved a breath. she was drained of her energy shopping with Azra.
"Phew.. " dge wiped her forehead with the back of her hands. getting up from the bed, she undressed and went into the bathroom. She needs a cold shower to cool her temp.
Coming out, she answered a knock on her door.
"No I wouldn't eat in the dinning today, drop it at the balcony. "
She had been looking forward to the day she would eat at that side. putting on her PJ as it was evening, she went for her diner .
"Wow the serene us quit calm and peaceful. " Claire hummed as she ate her food looking at the sea. never in her life have she witness this. who even have time?, Claire pouted.
Seeing the way the water move along side with the waves brought a pleasant smile on Claire's face. Azra who was standing close to her was amazed to see her smile this way ever since she arrived here.
Looking away from the sea, Claire's eyes caught a pool secluded at the end of the left path. surprise and intrude filled her as she cranned her neck to have a better look.
"What- is that a swimming pool? "
Turning over to have a look, Azra replied
"Yes ma'am. "
Blinking her eyes as her face exploded in smiles, Claire asked
"Is it meant - no can anyone swim in it? "
"Of course ma'am "Azra nod, "if you can swim, you are free to. "
"It is made for everyone though I've not gone into it before. "She grinned.
Still looking at the pool as she tapped her spoon on her teeth claire asked.
"Did you know of any swimming coach? anyone available right now? "
"Ma'am you want to take lessons? " a big smile ran across her face.
"Yes. "
"Of course, "Azra clapped, "I still have the contact of the old swimming tutor that took lessons for Miss Morgan. "
"Really? "
"Quickly get me my phone. "Claire snapped her fingers.
she had seen a vital thing she would learn while still living here. she would take swimming lessons for this one month or anytime the duration ends.
Taking her phone from Azra who just came back with it, she called the old tutor. After the arrangements, she was said to start the next day.
