CHAPTER 18: First Day as Mrs. Knight

EVELINE KNIGHT

Ev its nothing its just your first night with him. There is nothing to worry about. Chill Ev. He will not eat you up. Deep breaths Ev. Calm down baby. You are not going to fight a war Ev.

You very well know, when you freak out I freak out too. So stop it.

I am not freaking out.

Yes you are. Please for once in my life be quiet.

Then the car finally stopped. Oh God please help me. Alexander stepped out of the car. I was still seated deep in my thoughts. "Are you planning to spend the rest of the night in the car?"

"N-No." I stepped out of the car. I looked in front of me. A smile formed on my face.

"Liked it?" Alexander asked.

I nodded like a child. He chuckled. "Then I guess I didn't disappoint you. Come let's go inside."

We went in, his living room was amazing.

"WOW. Its so beautiful." I ran towards the piano and asked him "You play this?"

"Ya. Come I'll show you your room."

Your room? What does he mean by that? Are we not going to stay in the same room?

Well you have to ask him that. Not me. I can't read his mind.

"My room?"

"Ya. Your room. Its upstairs come with me." He started walking. I did not move from my place.

"Aren't we married? And married couple live in the same room right?" I asked looking down. He stopped in his path and turned around.

"They do. But we are not going to stay in the same room. I don't want anyone to disturb my privacy and with you in my room I don't think I will have something called privacy."

I stood there biting my lips. Why is he like this? Why can't he give this marriage a chance? Does he love someone else like Blake said that day? Am I not good enough for him? Am I that bad?

"Eveline stop whatever you are thinking."

"I am not thinking anything." I said looking everywhere but not at him.

"Don't lie to me. Come I'll show you your room." I followed him. I decided not to utter a single a word. I was really angry at him. Why can't he just forget the past?

Then we made our way upstairs. We stood in front of a white door he opened the door for me.

"This is your room." I nodded.

"If you need anything my room is at the end of the floor." I nodded again.

"I will give you a tour of the whole house tomorrow." I nodded.

"And the reception, I asked Dad to change the date so you can rest. The reception is day after tomorrow." I nodded. He turned around to leave but stopped and said "T-the kitchen is downstairs beside the dining room. I-I mean if you need anything." I nodded. He sighed.

"Will you just stop nodding and say something?" this time he sounded really frustrated. I looked away from him. "Fine you don't want to talk to me, then don't. As if I am dying to do that." He then left.

I closed the door and came inside looked around the room then went to take a look of the washroom. And the most attractive thing about the room was the walk-in closet. I loved it. The room was beautifully decorated.

Ah! My room. I thought to myself with a sad smile on my face.

I was really tired so I decided to change and go to sleep. I tried to pull down the zipper of my gown but it got stuck halfway. I tried pulling it again but all in vain. I can't sleep in this. No I am angry with him. I won't go to him.

Do you have any other option available?

No.

Then go.

I knocked at his door. After few seconds he opened the door. He was in his sweat pants and a t-shirt. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow while me being me I was checking him out. He then cleared his throat. I came back to my senses.

I thought you were angry at him.

"My zipper got stuck, c-can y-you please help me?"

"Ya come inside." I went in and looked around the room. It was so amazing, no doubt he has a great taste.

I stood their facing my back towards him I heard footsteps approaching towards me. He was now right behind me. His hands reached the zipper of my dress. I felt butterflies inside my stomach when his hand came in contact with my bare back. He pulled down the zipper I shut my eyes tightly. After he opened the zipper we stayed in the same position. I was not able to move.

His fingers started tracing my bare back slowly I could feel his hot breath on my neck. My heart was beating like crazy. At an instant he turned me around to face him. I looked in his blue eyes, he starred at my green ones. His one hand was on my back and the other cupped my cheek. He kissed my forehead then slowly his lips travelled down to my cheek he kissed my cheek. It was magical. His lips were so soft.

Then he starred at my lips for a moment. His eyes closed he brought his lips close to mine. I could hear my heartbeat I bet he could too. I closed my eyes then suddenly he pulled away. His face showed regret. He looked like he finally came back to his senses. His hands ran through his hair and he left the room leaving me there.

Why does this always happens with me? Why is he like this? One moment he is fine and in the other moment he tries to push me away.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The sunlight hit my face I rolled from one end of the bed to another. I sat up on the bed thinking about my new life.

It's time to start a new and happy life without any sad memories. I got up from the bed went to the washroom. I really need to relax myself so I decided to take a bath. I stayed in the bathtub for thirty minutes.

Ah I feel so fresh. I took deep breath. I went downstairs after changing my clothes. I made my way to the kitchen and saw a lady in her 40's I guess. I went inside the kitchen as soon as she saw me she gave me a big smile.

"Good morning Mrs. Knight. My name is Maria. I am a cook here."

"Good morning and you can call me Eveline. We can be friends right? Actually I really have no one to talk here and I am not in the habit of staying in so much silence."

"Ya of course we can be friends. So tell me what would you like for breakfast?" she asked.

"Anything would be fine. Alexander, what will he have?" I asked.

"Oh he doesn't have breakfast. As he is home today, he said a coffee would be fine."

"He doesn't eat breakfast? That's strange."

"Oh that poor boy doesn't have the time to eat properly. So now it has become a habit of his to not have breakfast." She said with a sad smile on her face. Suddenly an idea came in my mind.

"Umm... Maria, if you don't mind can I make the breakfast today and the coffee too?"

"Of course you can. This is your house too. I'll prepare the lunch."

"Thank you." I said with a big smile. I made the breakfast while talking to Maria. I made the coffee and showed to Maria. "How does it look?"

"It's beautiful dear. And the breakfast too. I am sure he can't say no to this."

"I hope so. Okay I'll talk to you later." I said and took the breakfast tray in my hand. "Wait Alexander is in his room right?"

"No my dear, he is in his office."

"Office? But you said he was at home today."

She chuckled and said "He has an office in the house."

"What? Office in the house? He is really crazy about working. Where is this office?"

"Come I'll show you or else you'll definitely get lost."

"Thanks." She then took me to his office. Knocked the door and left as my hands were busy holding the tray. I heard a 'come in'. but wait how will I open the door. I don't think if I call Maria she will be able to listen, his office is pretty far from the kitchen. So I decided to call him "Alexander. Can you please open the door actually I am not in the situation to do that."

I then heard footsteps approaching forward he then opened the door. Alexander didn't glanced at me even for once. He kept looking at the file in his hand and went back to his desk. I went inside his office.

"I brought breakfast for you."

"I don't eat breakfast." He said coldly still not looking at me. Why is he acting so cold?

"I know. Maria told me that but I thought-"

"You should stop thinking so much. I just asked for a coffee nothing else. If you think that your coming in my life will change everything then you are wrong. Doing all this if you think can get you close to me then you are wrong. So just get out." I felt like crying at that moment.

"I didn't do anything to get close to you. I just thought you would be hungry. So I made breakfast. I guess I shouldn't have made it."

"You made the breakfast?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ya. Forget it I'll just throw it away." I said and started walking towards to exit door with the breakfast when he said.

"Stop. Keep it here I'll have it." I turned around in shock.

"You'll have it?"

"I think I said that only." My sad face instantly turned into a happy one. I kept the plate on the desk and waited for him to taste it. He looked at me once then at the plate. He took the cup in his hand and asked "What's this?"

"Umm.. heart. I wanted to make your boring coffee a little exciting so I made this. Hope you like it." I said smiling like an idiot. He then took a bite of the sandwich and a sip of the coffee.

"How is it?" I asked eagerly with fingers crossed.

"It's good." He ate the whole thing. Who says that he doesn't feel hungry?

After finishing my breakfast I went to Alexander's office because I was getting really bored. Maria also left she had some thing came to buy.

"Xander, you told me you would give me a tour of the house today." I said waiting for him to react at my nickname I chose for him. He stood up from his chair.

"What did you say?"

"You told me you would give me a tour of the house today." I repeated acting innocent.

"No not that. My name. What did you call me?"

"Xander. I don't like Alex and Alexander is very long. So I chose this. But if you don't like it I -"

"No it's fine come I'll show you around."

He showed me his house and it was really beautiful. I loved the swimming pool area.

"I have one more place which I think you would like." I looked at him with curiosity. He took my hand in his and led me to the back of the penthouse. "See." I looked at the place. I think this would be my favourite spot in the whole house. It was amazing. Peaceful.

"Can we sit here for sometime please." I asked him shyly

"Ya sure." We sat there. He was sitting just beside me. I was talking to him about my likes and dislikes, my childhood and this was the first time I saw him smiling genuinely when I was the talking too much. I don't remember while talking to him when I drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes to see it was already dark. I slept here only. I felt a weight around me. I looked up to see Xander sleeping next to me. He was holding me in his arms, our faces were extremely close to each other.

I kept starring at him. He looked so peaceful. Handsome as always. My hands reached his face. I removed some hairs from his forehead. I was having a good view of my sleeping husband. But then suddenly his eyes snapped open. My eyes widened. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up. I was jus-"

He then looked at our position and instantly stood up. "I have some work to do so I am going out. I'll be late." He left without even looking at me.

I was hungry. So I went to the kitchen took out a packet of chips from the shelf and pour a glass of orange juice. I spent the rest of the evening eating, chatting, watching videos.
