Martin's pov
My heart well with sadness as i walked out of the room. I felt like my heart was in the room I had just left, but staying there doesn't guarantee much, all i see is a broken woman too sad to accept she feels something for me, and as always I have to be a man in this relation, and stand tall.Being stoic is the only way to get rid of this.
Walking into my room, it was open, odd, I never leave my door open. Walking in, I see Vanessa beaming like an over excite anime character, “ morning vanny’ i said, awkwardl;y, she shouldn't be in my room so early, and damn i am half naked as well, Sinclair would think otherwise,
“ What are you doing here?”, i asked, she beams once more, making my heart to jitter, totally frightened by her excitement, shes so scary when she looks like this, “well i just came to greet you a special morning” she said, “okay, nice morning, well i have work to attend to, and i would like to take a warm bath’ i said walking towards the bathroom to get my teeth and body washed.
“ okay” she said not moving, instead she falls back on the bed, i walked passed her then into the bathroom, awkward, i hope she isn't catching any feelings, i can't have both mother and daughter issues, currently not prepared for that.
Taking my bath, i tie a towel around my waist and one drying my head off. Vanessa is still laying on my bed, this time, she is staring through my phone, “ hey drop it” i said running after her, “ aww someone got a crush on mom” she said laughing, running so I don't get her.
“ vanessa , stop it” i said chasing after her, she runs round, now she's jumping on my bed, “stop’ i said, climbing on the bed with her, she hops down, the the door opens, Sinclair stood there with her hair tied up in a single ponytail, she had a towel around her chest but doesn't look like she had taken her bath.
“Hey sin…Sinclair” i stuttered, she looks at Vanessa, then at me, her eyes welling with anger and disdain, damn shes reading the situation wrongly, “ uhm,sinclair, i called vanessa over to ask, what she would prefer for breakfast?” I said status.
It wasn't the right excuse, and my cheek burns in response. Sinclair is going to hate me for this , i should have said something a lot different like she came here to take something, damn my anxiety, Sinclair glares at me, for a second, it feels like decade already, she's way too smart for this, she knows i’m lying.
But she doesn't say anything, instead i see her walk away with her hands holding her chest, she hates me now for sure. “Well, this is romantic, i think you have the power to really shut her up, like shut the fuck up” Vanessa said with her hands holding her waist.
“ well, maybe you sould learn how to respect your mother, once in your fuckin life” yelling, vanessa jolted from where she stood, not saying a word,my heart was racing, a part of me wanted to chase sinclair and tell her not to be jealous, another part of me wants to stand still with no guilt of any kind because indeed i did nothing wrong.
Vanessa dropped my phone on the bed, her eyes welling with tears as she walked out of my room, it didn't have to end like this, everything started off well, until all of this, damn i had just lost everything, falling on my bed, my phone heat beneath me, flipping over I take itt ur out of its suffocating captivity before staring at the screen,she was scrolling through some of the pictures I had surprisingly taken of sinclair, when she was smiling,
Back in baldwin, and yesterday, it all refresh back, that hollow thought of mine came crashing down my mind, , loving sinclair had been a challenge starting from the first day i step foot in this house, all this pictures came with so much uncertainty, and now i'm sure i really like her enough to feel this much pain , and here i am, totally lost in her own world.
Standing up i wear a boxer and a singlet, i need to make sinclairs food, before shes goes to work, and before i leave for the restaurant , at least to prove to her that nothing changed, and she must be so exhausted after yesterday, i need to get her an energy drink as well, with something mouth watering to go with it.
And the best makeup dish would be the brown rice and cake avocados, packed with some juice, smiling sheepishly as I envisioned her smiling while eating, it's always a pleasure seeing her eat.
“ i’m sorry” i heard a familiar voice, its vanessa standing close to the kitchen door with her hands wrapped around her body gently she has succeeded in wiping the tears off her face, but i could tell she cried her eyes out in the room, there were slight touch of red “ well i am sorry i yelled at you, was just sad and angry” i said , she smiles then walks up to me.
“ well it's obvious mum has an effect on you, why don't we do this, you help me get rid of this shitty feeling i have inside, and help me get over my , boy..Adonis , then i will tell you how to please my mother even though she seems unpleasable, but yea, i have lived with her the longest well, i think the longest but i know little things that makes her happy , that's why i don't do them”
I arch a brow at her, she might be saying the truth, but she is just like sinclair, cunning and sweet, so hard to reject mostly when they give you those puppy dog eyes they are not aware of, “ deal i would help you get over your lust, and i quote “
did some air quote before i continued,
“ over your current friend, adonis, and you will help me get the woman of my dreams” i said dramatically, she shakes her head totally amazed by my words.
“ deal”
We shake on the deal then burst out laughing who would have known this girl over here was my key to finally having love life, funny, but true, , she assisted in making some of he food, she makes more effort than sinclair in matters like this, and if she learns properly i bet she would be a great cook too.
After cooking we both agree to start the day, shopping for groceries for r the house, and that of the restaurants, maybe we could get something for sinclair as well, i took my bath, then packaged sinclair food, i haven’t seen her around after she stormed in my room, neither have i heard a squeak from her room as usual.
Walking up to her room after knocking on for seconds, it was empty, she left without my notice?,
When?
Why?.
Is she still angry?
