chapter 36

Gale was raising her voice and questioning about Elsa... “hang up! I said hang up hang it up ..." Neville yelled. Gale could hear it. With shaky hands Elsa hung up the call. Her eyes were red she cried a lot a few minutes ago. Those were the side effects. Elsa was sitting on the floor and trembling in fear. “Did you tell ... Grandy anything? DID YOU?" Neville scolded. Elsa trembled again. “N ... N .... No Neville no. How many times do I have to tell you? That I didn't tell Grandy anything." Elsa said in a hoarse weak voice. Nevile glared at her in anger. She was scared of him for the first time. Neville came close to her, she was still on the floor, he came closer she could sence his heavy breath. She closed her eyes sensing angry Nevile so close to her made her feel weak. “I ... I ... I ... It hurts Neville it hurts. It hurts me. Every time you remove it out on me. If you really didn't want a cold you could tell grandy  easily instead of scolding me this way." Elsa said shuddering in fear. She felt the weight of Nevile's breath, he was still close to her. “You damn woman." He yelled softly. He looked at Elsa her lip skin turned coarse by crying, yet tender, her eyes all red by crying, and her body shivering. He knew what damage he had done, after looking at Elsa, his anger had cooled down in an instant. She didn't sence his anger going down, until. “I ... I am sorry Elsa. I didn't know what I was doing ... I will tell Grandy that we aren't ready yet. I will tell him that when I settle in my business career then we will plan a baby." Neville said politely. Elsa nodded her head in a way of saying yes, and wiped her tears. Neville was still close to her, he looked at her more intently, “You look better like this. It was my fault that I hurt you." Neville said to Elsa. “Nev ... Neville, so you still think that I told Grandy about a child?" Elsa enquired. Neville denied, “how can you lie to an angry man like me? I belive you ..." He whispered to her in her ears. He could smell the same soupy herbs and marinated chicken from her. He wanted to resist her but couldn't he was almost near her right cheek, “blissssss.... ... ..." Neville smirked. Elsa looked baffled by Nevile's comment. She sat still right there frozen and numb. He kissed her cheek and smelled her, he felt his heart jump, and she could hear her heart race. Her frozen body turned numb suddenly. She wanted to break the silence but, she couldn't open her mouth. Neville slowly came closer to her lips, his lips were almost touching hers. She wanted to push him away but, still she couldn't do that, she was feeling that she was loosing her control against her female urge. She could feel his breath, ... his warm breath she could smell it, she could smell the whiskey which he had gulped down a few moments ago. He slowly cupped her delicate face in his hands. She was still frozen she didn't what was happening to him, she wanted to resist him but couldn't do that, just like she couldn't 3 years ago. Tears dropped down her eyes, finally she broke the silence. “N ... Neville." She managed to take his name. He didnt bother that, he felt her hot lips. She wasn't in a position to utter any other word. She liked it but ... She felt guilty. He simply touched his lips to hers and pulled away. Before she could ask what it was he stood up, walked towards the cupboard, picked up some clothes and a towel. He walked towards the bathroom. “He smelled like whiskey," she said to herself and sighed. He stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. ...He put on the shower and stood under the running water. He couldn't stop thinking about the woman he wanted to divorce, he couldn't resist thinking about the choas that had taken place just moments ago. He felt the cold water droplets over his skin. He remembered the day under the shower at Anne's house. He could imagine every line of her face. He placed his hands on the tiled  bathroom wall, “she is bliss..." He uttered to himself under the running water. His heart was racing as he thought about her. He was wondering over why he was thinking about her so much. He also didn't want to think about her. The water kept flowing over him and intermingling with his flow of thoughts.Elsa stood up from the corner, kept her phone on the bed and walked towards the cupboard. As she walked there, Venessa was standing at the entrance of the room, “Knock ... Knock may I come in Madame Elsa? Oh oh ... Sorry ... Madame Lobo?" Elsa didn't bother to answer Venessa. “ I can sense the atmosphere gone from extremely warm to cool. Nice change, uh ... Where is Nevile? Cannot see him anywhere around?" Venessa said this and moved her sharp gaze throughout the room. They could hear the shower ... The sound of the water droplets. “I knew that he would fight with you for Elena ... Huh! ... You know right Elsa? Men do anything for the woman they love. And ... And and they will never betray her for the other woman." Venessa said teasingly. Elsa didn't look at her still, she was busy choosing clothes to wear for the night. “What are you choosing ... ?" Venessa poked again. This time Elsa replied sternly, “Night gown." Venessa laughed, “As it is he won't pay attention to you." Venessa added. Suddenly Elsa's phone rang. She walked towards the bed and picked the phone up. “Yes? Gale." Elsa asked.  “ Elsa! Are you okay? Why was Nevile scolding you? Are you fine?" Gale asked hastily. Venessa stood right there to listen. “Elsa! Are you listening? I want you to come back. It's been over one day now. Neville always treats you like a housemaid ... You come back home." Neville had alredy come out of the shower, complete dry, wearing a white bathrobe. He could exactly hear Gale's words. He frowned upon hearing these words. As soon as Venessa saw Neville leave the bathroom, she left the room. She knew that with Nevile around, she couldn't boss over Elsa anymore. Neville glared at Elsa darkly. “I had created your profile on ‘buzzy dates' a few hours ago... And you know what? Elsy? There are quite a great number of guys volunteering to make you theirs." Gale blurted, while Nevile clenched his fists.
