Chapter 13: Night mare

Avery sat up on the bed as she stared at the door. She kept holding herself with the words we don't love each other. She got down and went to open the windows before climbing the bed to sleep.

"She was in a desert covered in blood. She was dying as she fell to the ground and before she could close her eyes she heard clashing of swords and before she knew it, she heard a piercing sound.....

Nooooooo!!!!! Avery yelled as she sat up sweating profusely. Nooo. Not again! What was that dream. This is the second time she is having that night mare. She thought as her heart hammered against it's ribcage. What's going on? Why is she having this dream. What the hell is happening to her? And the scary part is she couldn't see the face of the person that is dying. She didn't know if it's a young girl or an old lady. Or a woman. All she knew was that once the person screams, she screamed along and woke up panting hard.

Should she just tell Nina about her dream? She thought and got down from the bed only to realize it was morning already. She took in a deep breath before going to the bathroom to take her bath. After bathing, she got all dressed up and went downstairs to have her breakfast. On getting downstairs, she she saw no one in the dinning which was strange. But she was glad no one was there cause only God knows what would have happened if those two starts that love love. She thought with a deep frown but later relax. While she was eating, one of the maids walked in head bow. Good morning ma'am.

Morning. Avery greeted . Sorry ma'am to disturb you but the boss said I should inform you that you won't be staying here. You will stay at the smith mansion for two weeks. The maid said head bow and Avery paused and looked at her. W-why tho ? She asked calmly. The boss will be out of the country for some work. So he said he can't leave only you here. She explained. What of Becky? Avery asked. The miss is not also going to stay here. She will be going back to her house. The maid said head bow.

Oh. Avery thought. Okay where is your boss I need to speak with him. Avery asked. The boss is in the garden. He doesn't needs disturbance. The maid said head bow. Oh really, I am going to see him now. Avery said determined as she left the dinning to the lounge, she turned to her other side and saw the black door and presumed was the way to the garden. She thought and went straight there and push the door wide opened.

As she opened the double doors, she was welcomed by a cool warm breeze. The flying birds and the beautiful flowers and roses were scattered everywhere making it look like a small paradise. The tall trees was breathtaking. It was as if she was welcomed into in a world entirely. She began to walk carefully until her eyes finally found him. He was sitting on top a swing. A white swing. His back was facing her. She was about to approach him when -----

What are you doing here? He asked still not looking at her. Avery froze. Did he notice her presence. She managed to silence her movements. But he already knew she was there. What a strange being. But Avery decided not to be intimidated by him or his cold words. She walked faster and went to stand in front of him so she could look at him. I am here to see you. Why did you tell the maid that I should stay with your family? And where are you going to fir the next two weeks? Am I a baby that needs to be monitored by some adults. Avery ranted. She was about to rant again when our of the blue, James grabbed her by her waist and made her sat on his lap. Avery was so shocked by his fast speed. She stared at him in disbelief. I need to teach how to talk else, your mouth will be the end of you. He said dangerously. Avery stared at him shocked. As she sat on him, she could see his pretty face. Where am I going? Huh? So you really want to know where am going for the next two weeks. He smirked at her. Stop talking se---se ductively in my ear. Avery said a bit hot. James stared at her and placed a finger on her lips. Seductively? Why would I seduce you when I already have the love of my life to seduce. He whispered in her ear and Avery froze again. She felt her heart shattered.

She tried to stand up off him but he was too strong for her. She felt the sting of pain reaching her eyes. Why are you doing this? Why? Avery asked but her voice cracked. But James just ignored her questions and carried her like a princess style and walked back inside. Avery felt her eyes lurked in tears. She was about to cry but she managed to hold in till they reached the lounge. He placed her gently on the floor. Becky was coming downstairs when she saw what James did. She hissed jealously. Uhm James, thanks. Can I come back here after two weeks? She asked as she wrapped her hands in his neck ready to kiss him but James pulled her away and pecked her forehead. Sure my love. He said as his gaze flew to Avery to see her face. Avery closed her eyes and left the mansion. She couldn't bear it anymore. Maybe staying two weeks away from him will stop her from thinking about him. Becky smiled in satisfaction. She was so elated that she couldn't help but blush. This is just the beginning Avery. She thought as she left the mansion. She had texted olive to meet her in a restaurant. Their usual spot where they had fun. James watched the two women entered the cars as the car sped off. Once the car was far gone, he went back inside the mansion.
