Chapter 88: The picnic.

David looked at Calcel and Alyssa staring at each other.

" Are you two going to continue staring at each other ? " David asked startling the two.

" Huh...ah...I am so sorry. " Alyssa stammered and went for seat quickly.

Calcel just kept a thin line of his lips. David almost chuckled at this.

" It seems like you missed him. " David blurted.

" Huh..It's..not like that. I mean .." Alyssa was out of words.

" It's okay. How is your mother ? I heard you were at her place. " David asked.

" She's doing well. You know I missed her so much. So I went to see her. " Alyssa lied.

" It's good. But don't ever leave the Mansion again without my permission. " David said.

" Okay sir. I am sorry about it. " Alyssa said

" And Calcel .." David said turning his gaze to him.

" Don't make May worry about you again.." David said.

" As you wish dad. " He replied.

" We have only five days to Calcel's wedding. Let's have a picnic. " David suggested.

" A picnic ? " Alyssa and Calcel asked at ago.

" Yes. Once Calcel is married , You will have to leave the Mansion as we agreed. I want us to share our last moments as a family. The three of us ! " David said.

" But we aren't a family. It's ..." Alyssa was interrupting when Calcel cut her off.

" I agree Dad. Let's have it. " Calcel said.

" But.." Alyssa was still arguing. " I have already decided. " David said got up from the seat.

" That's all I had to say. Good night. " He said to both and left.

Alyssa heaved a sigh when David was out of sight. Then she decided to get up and leave.

" Let's have a talk ! " She heard Calcel say.

" I...I...Do we have anything to discuss ? " She asked. She was standing while Calcel was still on the seat.She looked away from him all along in fear to face him.

" About the night ! " Calcel said.

Alyssa felt goose pumps all over her body on hearing that. She really didn't want to talk about it.

" I...I...I ..have nothing to say to you about it. It was an accident. " Alyssa said in stammers without looking back at him and made a step to leave when Calcel stood from the seat and reached for her hand to stop her from moving.

He pulled her hand making her to turn around to face him. He could see the fear in her eyes. She immediately pulled her hand from his grip.

" What is it now ? " She asked still looking away from him.

" I know it was an accident. I am so sorry. " He said .

" No need to say sorry. We were both in it. I will leave if you have nothing more to say. " Alyssa said.

" Was it nothing to you ? " Calcel asked out of the blue. Alyssa felt her heart pump fast on this question.She felt like the ground should open and swallow her right away otjerwise how could he ask such a question . She swallowed hard and finally looked into his face. Handsome and irresistible as usual.

" Calc , We all Know it was an accident. please don't ask me about it again. Someone might hear us. " Alyssa said to him and then left in rush.

Calcel heaved a sigh as he watched her leave to her room. He went back to his room and drunk the full bottle of whiskey.

Alyssa reaching her room decided to go for a shower. While she showered and touched her body and could remember Calcel's touches during the night and all the sweet kisses he pressed on each and every part of her. Soon tears of guilt started flowing from her cheeks. She finished her shower and wore pajamas to sleep.

Alyssa started avoiding Calcel as much as she could. She didn't want to look at him or even talk when he was talking to David otmr Jenny.

Things between the two had totally changed since that day. David could observe their weird behaviors and knew that something was happening.

The day for the picnic finally reached and Juliana brought Clere early that morning. Calcel had not known that Juliana was to join the picnic too. Alyssa wasn't also aware of it.

Alyssa had been the first to pack her staff in the car when Juliana's car approached the mansion. She stood and looked at Juliana get out of the car with Clare hand in hand.

Alyssa had wore a brown over shirt and tight jeans and her hair was in a porn tail. She felt embarrassed as she watched Juliana and Clare approach them.

" Aunty Alyssa..." Clare called and ran to hug Alyssa. Alyssa smiled at the little girl.

" How are You Clare , I missed you. " Alyssa said as they parted from the hug. " I missed you too Aunty. " Clare said.

Alyssa turned her gaze to Juliana who had a smirk on her face. She was fully dressed in an addidas sport wear with a cap.

" Hello Ms Juliana. " She greeted.

" Long time. " Juliana said.

Alyssa just smiled and that's when Calcel and David came along. " You are already here ? " David asked them.

" Mom ? " Calcel called . He hadn't realized that Juliana was here.

" Won't you come greet your mother ? " Juliana asked. " Of course not. " Calcel said and hugged Juliana and Clare.

" I think we are ready. Let's get in the car. " David said.

" Sure . " Juliana said and they entered David's car with Clare.
