Chương 24: Chapter Twenty Four
Carmen POV :)
When i got to the foot of the stairs Juliana looked startled. Staring straight at Strength who gave her a scrutinizing gaze.
"Hey ! Strength why are you out here?" I asked her so she could at least divert her gaze to me.
"What child were you guys talking about ?" Strength asked looking between Juliana and I.
"I don't think that's any of your business " I said to her.
"Well mr Jankins ordered me to report any suspicious behavior from you guys so it is my business " strength said.
"Did he order you to spy on us?"
"No!" Strength quickly said bending her head in shame.
"She's drunk okay and...my mom says stuff when she is " I tell her. luckily Juliana was smart enough to play along. She staggered a bit holding onto her head.
"Camila please take me to my room" she said reaching out to me.
"I'll help my mom now. Good night" I said as I passed by Strength and reached Juliana. I held her and led her to her room. Martin was sleeping but woke when the door creaked open.
"I'm sorry..."Juliana said
"No, it's fine we've just got to be careful" I said still holding her hand
"What happened ?" Martin boomed.
"The security girl overheard our conversation " Juliana said unlocking her hands.
"Juliana you've gotta be careful you know. Charles won't like to hear about suspicions " Martin warned.
"I know"
"I'll leave now good night" I said to them.
"Good night my...night Car..." Juliana stuttered. Maybe she was tipsy.
"Camila" Martin said and shut the door "get a grip on yourself woman" I overheard him lash at her as I walked away.
I went to Camila's room and dove on the bed. I kept playing games till dawn as sleep deserted me.
The next morning that I managed to sleep my phones ringing woke me up and I cussed whoever was ringing me this early.
The screen showed pant dropper. Why the fuck is he calling me now
"Hey wassup" i said ruffling in the sheets so I could lay belly flat on the bed.
"Are you still in bed ?" He asked.
"Yeah. I have a hell of an headache right now" I replied. My head was banging and I wondered why. Maybe it was the little can of beer or the over thinking I've been doing that was the cause.
"Take some drugs" he said.
"I'd rather have more sleep" I replied, sure that if I slept more I would feel better.
"Are you perhaps mad at me" He asked. 'Why would I be?' I thought to myself
"No...I'm not. As part of our deal you're still giving me the money right?" I ask to verify.
"Yeah...but I'm sure our honeymoon will hold" he optimistically said.
"Huh ?..." I said then yawned. "I'd love to see baby Michael " I added."from M and M" I used the initials of him and Megan.
He laughed.
"It will be a little bundle from M and C " he replied.
"If wishes were candies..." i said to him not knowing what I was even saying. It was a quote I've see somewhere but have forgotten.
"Huh..." He asked clearly confused so I cut off the call and had a good laugh.
Slept some more and woke up at 2pm, my tummy roared like the noise from a festival. I walked down to get some food
Came back up and had gotten a call from Tiffany. She had rang me 12 times.
"Hey I just..."
"Where are you Carmen ?"
"Tiffany...chill
"I called Mrs perry and she said you haven't been home in a month, where have you been ?"
"Oh...huh...I'm with a friend " I replied. Damn that nosy Mrs Perry.
"Where ?"
"You wouldn't know them Tiff...go back to the movie set "
"I care about you Carmen...I really do please just tell me you're alright
"I'm fine okay trust me
"Where you joking the night you called
"Yeah...I'm a joker" I said putting hope in my words. I prayed silently in my head that the goddess of fertility has really blessed Michael's girl and Charles wouldn't have use for me anymore. I wouldn't have to steal from Michael and my sister would be saved.
"Okay...I'll go now" Tiffany said and I ended the call. It was past ten now and I was super hungry. I ordered food.
I decide to pass time by improvising in front of Camila's vanity mirror. I spoke into the mirror like I was on a movie set and I smiled at my reflection. My hand just went to the drawer and opened it. There I saw a diary, a black one with pink stripes. It seemed private so I closed it back. As I did the door was knocked and Juliana came in with a food tray.
"Oh...you didn't have to do it"
"It's fine. I made breakfast for my husband and you were in the house as well your security so i made for all of us"
"Okay thanks" I placed the tray on the table and bubbled up the breakfast.
"You eat really well" Juliana said.
"Yeah I have a good stomach"
"Camila could never do that. Just a few bites and she was full"
"Okay..." I slowed down my pace. Conscious now that she was watching me.
"No...come on eat. It's satisfying to watch someone devour my food "
"You're a really good cook Juliana " I complimented.
"Thank you...can I hug you ?"
"Yeah sure" I said and stood up and hugged her. She patted my head as she hugged me.
"I'll go now" she said and left. I felt sad for her and missed my mom too. I had the urge to call her but suppressed it and just ate the remaining food on the plate.
