Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 30

Shayan wanted to bring her little sister to my place and I wasn't excited about the idea, I kinda like

children but she was just a mini Shayan, she wasn't a regular five years old, she was just going to give

me trouble like Shayan. I finally gave in to her coming and when she did I hoped she'd be nice.

"Are you hungry? Should we go to our room? " Shayan asked

"She can get her room if she wants to," I suggested, it was not like there wasn't enough room.

"No, thank you," she replied rudely and I gave her this what's wrong with you look while Shayan

scolded her.

She mentioned something about the house being beautiful and when Shayan said it was mine she said

it wasn't then stuck out her tongue at me. She was such a kid and I laughed at her childishness. I

thanked her smiling and she said I shouldn't smile at her that she didn't like me and I just remembered

Shayan.

My friend Carlos came over and I knew he and Shayan never got along but I don't know why.

"Shayan, how have you been?" he asked and she nodded, who nods to a question?

"You didn't tell me you were coming."

"Just decided to drop by. Do you have any food? I'm starving. "

"Why don't you drop by at the restaurant then? " she asked and I couldn't tell if it was out of pure

innocence or?

And when I told Shayan to cook up something she said Shayan wasn't a maid. She might not be a

maid but she'd was a wife and she had to do these things. They went to the kitchen together while

Carlos and I talked.

When we started eating Carlos exclaimed drinking water and Evie started laughing. I had a feeling she

did something to the food so I ate cautiously. Thankfully mine was okay. Carlos was screaming and

jumping trying to soothe the spice drinking enough water. He might be my friend but it was funny. Even

when I asked her she admitted to it like it was no big deal and when I told her to apologize she

stubbornly refused. The girl was stubborn than Shayan, her parents shouldn't have allowed them to

spend more time together. I laughed a little when he left. It was so funny I couldn't keep it despite how

angry I was.

"That is not a way to treat guests. I wouldn't tolerate your behaviour next time." o angrily said leaving

the table.

Later Shayan came to request for a nanny and the helps to return. I've been seeing how she'd have to

clean and cook after coming back home late. I had to say she's hardworking. The little girl came out of

nowhere asking if Shayan was my maid when I refused to grant her request. I swear she acted like she

was Shayan's guardian angel or something. They came back to the kitchen later and Evie invited me to

watch a movie with them but I rudely declined and she looked a bit hurt before saying she just wanted

to be polite. I later felt bad for talking to her that way and went upstairs with a box of chocolates as a

peace offering, she assumed it was a bribe but later accepted it.

I stayed behind when the movie ended, I wanted to just be around her. We talked about Evie a bit and I

just stared at her. Gosh, she's beautiful, I wanted to lean in and kiss her, even if it was just a goodnight

kiss on the cheek, I just wanted to touch her but I know she wouldn't react well and it was too soon to

show my emotions. Instead, I bid her goodbye.

On the day my mom invited us to dinner looked stunning and I wanted to compliment her but I just

appreciated her beauty from within taking her hands. I liked holding hands and waist, any small touch

with her was like a dream come true. Immediately my mom saw her she started accusing Shayan of

not feeding me and Shayan said nothing so I came to her defence saying she did which she does and

when my mom suggested another girl for me to take care of me in all ways I nearly laughed, she didn't

get that I just wanted Shayan.

"Mom, I'm married to Miss West here, I don't need any other woman." I had meant it when I said that.

She was the one I wanted, despite being with other girls my heart craved her the most not just my

body.

After dinner, my mom wanted to talk to me privately and so I followed her.

"I don't like that girl and you know it. " my mom felt like it was Shayan that turned me into a manwhore

which she thinks ruined my reputation making everyone know me as a playboy.

"I'm not telling you to like her, I don't like her either but Thai doesn't mean you should look for ways to

get under her skin. You should ignore her as I do."

She also talked about telling the twins about the marriage. I know it'd hurt Tess who believes we're

soulmates and I feel like she wouldn't speak to me again if she knew.

When Evie and I spent some time alone it was kind of fun, she didn't act her age most times and talked

sensibly. It amazes me how someone so young could be that smart. I talked to her about some things

going on in the company, it was just easy to talk to her, she gave some pretty nice suggestions and we

got pretty close that day.

What I wasn't expecting the next morning was to have Evie jumping on my bed like it was a trampoline.

I was mad, I was having a dream about Shayan and me which she ruined. If it was a dude I would have

taken my frustration out on him but she was just a little kid. I started tickling her and she was laughing

in seconds, her laugh was contagious and I joined in. She asked a question that threw me off guard

which was. "Why don't you and Shayan sleep together?" she was inquisitive, she asked a lot of

questions she answers.

I said nothing and she asked another question, "you don't like her do you? " if only she knew.

She made us breakfast and it made me think she wanted us to be together. She probably figured our

marriage wasn't the usual types she's used to.

The next morning I had been waiting for Shayan downstairs there was no breakfast neither was there a

Shayan. Angrily I went upstairs to her room wondering why she was late, I had an important meeting

with a client this morning and I was going to leave her if she wasn't ready.

"West why the hell aren't you ready? " I angrily asked barging into the room only to see her still laying

on the bed.

Didn't she know today was a workday? I observed her and she looked to be in discomfort as if she was

in pain. I walked closer to her and asked if she was alright.

"I'm fine, it's just my..." she stopped and I nearly chuckled

"Your period? " I asked and she nodded a little. She was just so cute. There wasn't a reason to be

embarrassed about it.

"Is there anything you need? " I asked hoping to be of help.

"No, no I'm fine thanks for asking."

She tried sitting up and I saw how uncomfortable it was for her.

"You're on your period, I know you're not fine so don't pretend to be. " I know she had the worst cramps

ever and wouldn't come to school sometimes because of it.

I left the room to the kitchen to get her something to eat and came back to find her on the floor. I carried

her to the bed then fixed her bath before bringing her in. She took so long in the bath and I kept on

knocking but she didn't answer me. When I walked in and I realized she had been sleeping and

chuckled.

She was awake now and as I walked closer to her she got nervous. When I started washing her hair I

noticed she sighed in relief. I admit I was tempted to touch her knowing she was naked under the water

but I just wanted to tease her.

"You have a dirty mind West," I said smirking. "But if you're thinking of me touching you so much I just

might grant you that."

"You wish, you're not going to be touching me at all Adrios. Let that sink into your head." she angrily

said

I moved closer to her and whispered in her ear. "No, it should sink into yours that I get what I want."

It was only a matter of time before I had her. She was still being stubborn playing hard to get but could

she hate me that much not to feel attracted to me?

I didn't want to leave her alone in distress but I had a lot scheduled for today and it would be worse

since she wasn't going to be there so I had to leave and sent someone to watch her. I was so mad

when I came back from work later that night. Things with the client didn't go well and he pulled out last

minute and I kind of took the anger out on Shayan when I got home, I later felt bad for it, I tried

apologizing but I couldn't get the words out.

I wanted to surprise Evie when she came back from her trip and decorated a room for her princess

themed. I figured she was going to stay for a while and needed her own space. The look of surprise on

both their faces made me contented.

The little argument we had in my office got her so mad. It was very quick to get under her skin and she

was always quick to react but what I didn't expect was for her to throw a mug at me.

"Fvck you Adrios." she angrily said

"I already did West," I smirked saying. "And you were the worst of the worst an inexperienced virgin."

Surely I didn't mean what I said I just wanted to rile her up but her throwing a mug at me was out of

line. I wouldn't tag her as the best but it was lovely because there was love involved and the fact that

she had given me her virginity made me feel special. When I asked her if she knew how much it hurt

when she threw the mug at me she angrily replied saying. "I don't give a damn Adrios cause it's not a

teeny bit up to the pain you caused me." she sounded like I broke her heart when the reverse was the

case.

She was the only girl I loved and to find out all those things about her broke me and the fact that she

always denies it was annoying. She's the reason why I couldn't let any girl close because I never got

over her, she was all that I thought of. She left after our argument and a few hours later Maria called

me that Shayan hadn't been out of the bathroom since she came. I was really scared and worried

about her and I realized I cared about her more than thought. I rushed home and kept on knocking and

it didn't open. I thought of many bad scenarios that could have happened and I was so relieved to see

that she was just sleeping and then I was slightly mad. My thoughts have been going in all directions

and she was just sleeping. I don't even understand how she took comfort in sleeping in the bathroom. I

said a lot of things I shouldn't have said and just hurt her feelings more and I didn't like that. I wanted

her to like me not hate me more. I even apologized to her but she said nothing even though I knew she

was awake.

The next morning she got sick as I predicted and I decided to skip work to take care of her, something

I've never done for anyone. My time and work were very important to me but now that she's in it she's

more important than that. I just hope that we move past this anger and hatred towards each other. I

took care of her in every way I could send she kept on resisting my help even though she needed it. I

knew she was grateful for me being there but she never said it.

On the day we went to the zoo I was excited, it's been a long I came out and saw the world beyond my

office. When we got to the rollercoaster ride I was surprised to know that Shayan was still scared of

heights, it was really funny. Even Evie wasn't scared while Shayan kept on screaming in fright. And

when I was trying to win the teddy for Evie and told her to encourage me I was surprised she did and

her calling me babe set my head on fire and when I told her she was my prize I meant it. She was the

only one I wanted now, I want to make things right for us that's why I was doing everything I could to ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

make it up to her.

On Saturday, the day of the charity event when she came back from the spa she did something to her

hair even though I told her not to. She even added hair extensions and straightened them. It looked

good but I didn't like it that way and when I commented on it she threw a fit. It's like she just waits for

me to open my mouth then starts to attack me. She has the weirdest temper. She gets mad at me

easily whether I'm right or wrong and she's the most stubborn female I've ever met. I told Tasha the

hairstylist to get rid of what she did. I knew she was going to be mad at me but then the deed would

have already been done. Surprisingly she wasn't as mad as I expected.

It was cute to see her jealous when I was talking to Maggie but what I didn't expect was for her to go

and meet Jason who was my ex-best friend. The guy Shayan slept with so you can imagine my anger

when I saw them talking. He even gave her his card hoping they can rekindle their romance but I

wasn't going to allow that. She just walked away and I threatened him badly. I wouldn't hesitate to beat

him up again if I had to.

A few minutes later I saw her coming out of the restroom adjusting her clothes. What happened in

there? I was expecting to see Jason but instead saw Carlos. So she was doing this for revenge, trying

to get my current best friend?

"What's going on here? " I angrily asked

"Well your bìtch here groped me in the bathroom and when I refused to play with her she kicked me in

the groin," Carlos answered

"That's a lie," Shayan spoke up

Gosh, I was so mad, I wanted to hit something, instead, I took her hand and we left. Immediately we

got home we said all the things we couldn't say in public. She kept on saying she was innocent of the

claim, kept on insisting she didn't do it but why will Carlos say that out of the blue? He couldn't just

accuse her like that but then I wasn't convinced she did it. After the argument, I resolved to drink.

I woke up to Shayan cleaning the mess I made. We still had a little argument and when she said "I

didn't do it, why would I want to rape a man much less Carlos. He was the one touching me and I only

kicked him because of the lie he told you." the sincerity and vulnerability in her tone made me believe

her and realize just how stupid I am. How on earth would she rape a guy, why would she even do that?

The bell rang and when she opened the door it was Carlos. She slammed the door on him the first time

and when she opened it the second time he called her a bîtch pulling her hair. I wonder what his

problem with her was, they both hate each other.

"I would leave her hair if I were you, Carlos." I angrily said, he has no right to come over to my house,

call my wife a bìtch and then pull her hair like it was a fûcking dog's leash. My wife shouldn't be treated

like that.

I was mad at him but Shayan's anger, I've never seen anything like that. Carlos kept on trying to make

it seem like Shayan was at fault and Shayan wasn't going to listen to anything. She threw a glass at

him and missed me and I think that fueled her anger more along with calling her a psycho. I tried

stopping her when she grabbed a bottle but wasn't fast enough, she threw it at him and it brushed his

arm, the glass flying around the room. I haven't seen her like that before. She looked ready to kill and

could kill him but I get her anger. He tried raping her and still lies that she's the one that tried to. I can

understand how she feels now, especially with me not believing her. I was supposed to be her husband

but I didn't even trust her, not a bit. It was very bad of me and I felt very guilty. I just gave her more

reason to hate me. I just have to learn to trust her, I don't know if we're going to be like the way we

were before but I was willing to try and so I started with an apology when he left.

"For? " she asked when I apologized

"Not trusting you, believing Carlos over you.." I listed stroking her hair gently. " I'm sorry. "

"I can't just forgive you Adrios." she angrily said, I knew it wouldn't be easy. "I told you all the things he

did to me still yet you didn't believe me. Did you know how I felt when he touched me, do you know

how disgusting and dirty I felt? You didn't trust me at all Kel, this was attempted rape, what if he had

had his way, is that what it would have taken for you to believe me?" she sounded so hurt and I

understood the gravity of my mistake.

I was the biggest fool for trusting Carlos words over hers. Hearing her talk about how he touched her

made me mad at him and most especially myself and when she said "You didn't trust me at all Kel" that

broke me. Like she was expecting me to but I just let her down and hearing that broke my heart.

Hearing her say my name after so many years did something to my heart, it made me truly happy

although I didn't like the circumstances at which she said it. I had imagined she would say it when I

finally get to kiss her or when we were having sex.

I had my bath and came down to her making lunch for me. I placed my hand around her and she

screamed my name surprised.

"Gosh, I've missed hearing you say my name and when you did it gladdened my heart. There was this

joy and I realized I missed it." I confessed and she smiled.

"Maybe I'd say your name often now," she said

"I'd like that," I replied smiling. I like the way we were not. I want to get to know her more, to see past

her stubbornness and anger because I know deep down there's a girl that loves and cares and I

wanted that. I want her to let go of every hatred she had of me because I was slowly letting go of mine.

All I wanted was her, to make her happy, to make her love me again, to win her back now, to be my

wife.

After lunch, I left home for Carlos's. I was going to give him a piece of my mind. Getting to his house I

rang the doorbell and he opened the door gracefully.

"Kel bro, I knew you'd come to your senses." he happily said. Oh, I came back to my senses alright.

I threw a punch at him, all my fury coming back. "What the hell dude. " he angrily asked. So he's

angry?

"You fvcking lied against her that's what." I gave him another punch in the face.

"And why would I do that?" he angrily asked still feigning ignorance which boosted my anger.

"You ask me." I seriously needed to know, I raised my hand to punch him but he dodged it.

"She's not good for you dude," he said raising his voice.

"You don't get to decide who's good and who isn't," I said kicking him in the groin. She should have hit

him there more, the nerves of the idiot, what does he think he is and who gave him the idea that he

could decide who's good and who isn't?

"You don't get to decide who the fvck is good for me, it's none of your fvcking business," I said picking

him from the floor throwing several punches at him.

"You know what? I've had enough of you Kel," he said wiping the blood from his mouth attempting a

punch at me which I quickly dodged.

"And I'm done with you, Carlos. You don't fvcking touch my girl, you of all people should know that." I

picked him up punching him.

Soon we had started a brawl, punching and kicking each other in the face and anywhere that was

available to hit. I for one wanted to give him a broken nose and ribs. He already had a black eye and

I'm sure I had one too. We continued punching each other angrily. How could he have tried doing that

to Shayan? I directed all my anger at him hitting and throwing him around. How would he try that, she

is my woman, my wife and no one else is allowed to look at her inappropriately much less touch her.

"So you're hitting me now because of Shayan? You still love that bìtch?" he asked and my fist wasted

no time in connecting with his nose.

"You call her a bìtch one more time and it's your corpse that'll be leaving this place." I angrily said

hitting his head on the wall.

We fought till both of us were too tired to move. Seeing him, I was glad about my handwork. No one

touches my woman and goes scot-free not even my supposed best friend.

I called up my driver knowing I wasn't in the condition to drive and immediately he arrived we drove

home. Getting home, I entered to see Shayan watching a movie, eating popcorn and talking at the

same time. She looked at me wide-eyed after hearing the door close.

She rushed to meet me holding my face. "Oh my gosh, Kel, Who did this to you? "

So she cares? I don't know how she'd react to me telling her I beat up Carlos.

"Answer me Kel. Where are you coming from?" Did she sound concerned?

"Carlos," I answered shrugging.

"So you went over to his place to beat him up?" she asked and I nodded suddenly becoming nervous.

She looked at me as if I was stupid. Now that I think of it, it's not the wisest thing I've done but I'd still

beat him up again if I had to.

"You could have called me. I'd have liked to leave a few scars," she said playfully and I chuckled, I love

her like this.
