Chapter 26 - The Breakup (2/2)

I drove back to the empty roads. Since Regina left I couldn't eat dinner either. I opened the window of my side and lit up a cigarette. I was frustrated and annoyed at the same time. I wanted to go to a bar and have some drinks but I decided to return home. While I was taking puff from the bud of the cigarette I drove the car and soon reached my home.

” Welcome come sir. Miss said you'll be staying outside today.” Lucy asked me looking blankly at me.

” Yeah... Actually something came up so I had to return home.” I tried to give her a fake excuse.

” Oh, then I'll be going back home since it's not that late.”

” Sure you can go. I'll tell the driver to drop you off.” I called the driver and ordered him to sent Lucy home safely. It wasn't that late since Regina went home and our date ended midway.

I noticed that Stella was not in the hallway or kitchen or dining table. If she was here at downstairs she would have greeted me. I did told her that I won't be coming home today. Maybe that's why She already had her dinner and probably went to sleep. Well I won't blame her since she gets tried after coming back from work.

I walked straight to my room. Stella might be in her room. I thought about letting her know that I'm came back and I have sent Lucy home also. But my mood was off. I just wanted to stay alone for a moment. I twisted the doorknob and went inside.

To my surprise someone was there. As I entered the room I saw a slim figure which was warped in towel. The person began to scream loudly after seeing my face. I was so surprised and shaken off by the loud pitchy screen I turned my head facing the door. I couldn't even see the person's face or who it was.

” Theo?” I heard Stella's voice calling out my name. I turned my head to her side and the person was none other that Stella. But the question was why she is here, in my room wearing a towel around her body?

” What are you doing here?” I asked her in a awkward voice. My gaze went upon her and I studied her features. Her long black hair was wet, water was dripping off from her body. Thankfully the towel was big enough to cover her from ċhėst to knee.

” I'm really sorry for coming into your room without your permission.”

” You don't need my permission to get inside my room. I mean to say why are you here?”

” Actually when I came back home I went to take shower but there was a giant ċȯċkroach inside my bathroom. I tried to draw it out although I was so scared to even get closer to it. It even started to fly and I panicked. I locked the bathroom door and came to your room with the towel. I thought you aren't coming home so I used your bathroom to take a shower.” She said all those thing so fast that it was almost like a rap. Only the music was missing.

” Fine, fine, take a deep breath okay. Go to your room and get dressed or else you'll catch cold like this.”

At that moment I forgot that I was upset.
