Chapter 19

The atmosphere in the company was still chilly when he stepped back. Everyone was on the edge from the change of events that suddenly happened in the morning. Charles was in his office when he got in.

His office was located on the top floor. with a view that allows him to look down at the city. The wall was grey with a few whites. Making the room warm to be in. His table near the window and a grey couch across the room with a minnie tea table on a white carpet. The room was connected to another room that was a changing room.

I didn't think you already planned ahead of everything. Charles commented seated on the couch with his legs crossed.

What are you doing here,? He glared at him clearly not in the mood.

You left me at the Airport when I went to retrieve the bags. I didn't have anywhere to go.

Oh, he said loosening his tie before he abruptly sat down.

If Paige saw you right now, she would think you are a different person. Trevor remained silent. You are always soft around her, here just staring at you gives me goose bumps.

Is that so? he gave Charles the death stare sending shivers down his spine.

No forget I said anything, I will be in my office if you need me. Getting up and hurriedly left signaling Tony not to disturb him for the rest of the day.

Trevor turned his chair to stare at the window with his mind completely occupied by Paige, Still able to taste her in his mouth, the feeling still lingering around his fingers when he pulled her. Even though it was short he regretted being unable to control himself and nearly showing his possessive to her.

The thought of her not accepting his beast. The dark side that he has kept locked in bothered him so much his office was cold as ice and even that, he didn't dare to call her afraid she will want nothing to do with him.

His thoughts were broken when Tony walked in on him to deliver the files pausing at the door when the cold hit his skin.

I.. I brought the f...files of the cancelled contract that you asked me to, they need to be signed. Tony stammered and carefully placing the files on the tabled and hurried out without waiting for his response.

The rest of the day, he barely spoke to anyone just having the job done. Charles managed to get him out of his office to his house. The house was spotless and even colder than his mood. It wasn't as big as Paige neither did it feel like home.

The F2 sports agency called, Charles Said. They said they sent an email to you some time ago but got no response from you. This years race is being held in Evergreen. he stopped for his reaction but all he got was a silent node. We should go out and celebrate for Mr Adam no longer being on you neck.

He was bound to leave from the beginning, his not worth celebrating. with that reply he turned and went upstairs to his room.

Its like he has no soul in him, Charles thought and retired to his room down stairs.

Evening came. he just finished showering standing across his room in a grey robe, his phone vibrated from the bed table, he reached for it and saw a text from Mike.

"How could you leave without telling Paige about it"

It sounded more of a statement than a question. followed by two more texts.

"You better call her now, She's a total mess right now"

" if you don't call her. don't come back!!"

He hesitated a while after reading the last text. He then went straight to the phone book. scrolled down before reaching Paige's contact looked at it for a while before calling it.

It was midnight on the other side when her phone rang, she had just managed to get some sleep. groaning silently and got the phone and placed it on her ear with out checking the caller.

Her steady breathing is all he got and nothing else.

Did I wake you? his ethereal calm voice echoed in her ear immediately sending shivers through her body making her to open her eyes slightly before shutting them again. clearly dreaming

No, she cutely denied I was already up, she said.

Really, How was your day then?

It was a mess, she complained.

Why is that?

There's this guy that said he wouldn't cross the line but he did and then just disappeared without a word.

Trevor tightened the grip on the phone but still remained calm.

Is that why your day was a mess?

Yes, he should have at least called me or texted me but i waited the whole day, she complained some more.

Am sorry.

Don't be he will apologize when he gets back. she mumbled. making it hard to make out what she just said.

Did you drink?

Just a bit, she replied honestly.

A whole bottle?

Three whole bottles, she answered. making him chuckle on the other end. You have a beautiful laugh just like my Fake boyfriend.

So do you like him? your fake boyfriend?.

Shhhh, that's my secret she said silently before drifting off to sleep maintaining her steady breath.

On the other side Trevor couldn't help but smile at her silliness and stayed on call longer to hear her breath and eventually slept himself.

~~~

Get up, Get up! a voice most annoying voice echoed through her room. Mike screamed while jumping up and down on her bed.

Who let you in? Paige complained as she sat up to look at the jerk that disturbed her sleep but her vision was all blurred accompanied by a headache.

Drink this I brought you honey water. Aunty Lucy said you drunk yourself to bed last night .

You just came here to give me honey water?

I don't love you that much sweetheart. I met her down stairs with it and offered to deliver it. Why did you drink so much?

I was craving some beer. she said sarcastically.

Seems you are craving more than just beer, he teased Trevor called last night right?

No, why would he?

Because he said he wanted to call you. He lied but that's not why am here. This years F2 is being held in.... he dramatically faked the drum roll. Its being held here.

Here? as in Evergreen? she asked.

Yes sweetheart right here in three weeks time.

Wow! that's really nice. But is Trevor ready? he didn't train much.

His more than ready I trust him. Am going for work now that I have said what I needed to say. Oh and don't forget to pick up Denise from the airport today.

Traitor!

Get over it. he said and turned to leave.

She grabbed her phone and went to call history only to find Trevor had indeed called and was on call for an entire hour. What did I say to him? she tried to remember but her mind was blank after a few failed attempts she gave up trying to remember headed out to pick up Denise And then back home.
