Chapter 4

" what's your name" I asked one last question out of my thousands of questions I wanted to ask him before I go into my room and prepare for this evening run way.

" Theon"he said as he knelt to pat his dog's..., I mean, wolfs head, I didn't even know the name that animal was called.

" what about him" I asked as I stared at the beast who wouldn't stop staring at me like I was dessert.

" Bullet" he said.

I got confused at the name but at the same time, I wanted to burst out In laughter.

" what kind of a name is that for a dog , sorry I mean a wolf , who gives their pet such a name"

I said and he looked at me for a while  setting his lips apart about saying something but looked down like he changed his mind about not saying anything.

I walked into my room, tired and hungry and my mouth dry from lack of water and talking too much.

I wanted to stand up and look for what to eat but I was damn tired.

All I could do at the moment was to pull my shoes and change into something more comfortable and before I knew it.

I was asleep.

~~~~~

       I woke up when my phone began ringing and interrupted my sweet slumber.

It took sometime for me to just stretch my hand and pick up the phone from the table beside me.

It was Jamie calling and I didn't even want to pick the call, I just wanted to return to my sleep, but what if he had an important message to tell me.

I picked the call.

" heyyy, baby girl" he said sounding really excited for God knows why.

" yeah" I realized I didn't even clear my throat and it was obvious I just woke up from sleep.

" sleepy head" he said, maybe trying to sound funny but it wasn't funny a bit.

" I just called so that you will remember to put on a black and white dress while your coming, so that you would be recognized by the security that you are a model".

" yeah ok"

" and also, don't forget to come early, you have to arrive 20 minutes before the main time"

" yeahhh, I get it" I said in exhaustion before he ended the call.

I took a deep breath before standing up and looking at the wall clock.

The runway starts by 7 pm and it's already 6 , for how long have I been sleeping and also, I needed that sleep back.

I yawned as I stood up from my bed and walked into the bathroom.

Time to freshen up.

I was done dressing and while I was applying my light make up in front of the mirror, I stopped and stared at myself for a while.

I had roundish almond eyes with honey brown color that seems to show brighter under the sunlight, it was kind of an unusual color for a dark person but my step brothers eyes made no difference with gold.

When I was in high school, people always said I had big eyes but they weren't even that big, people just knew how to exaggerate things.

I had full pink lips that had a natural black lining drawn around it to give it its shape, and whenever I smile, I just fall in love with those two holes that appear at my cheeks and also my white beautiful set of teeth.

I had full brows that were neatly arranged and my long thick lashes I'm always proud of,

And also my over full afro hair that takes forever to comb out.

           I was heading out of my room with a complete black and white outfit.

Black and white snickers, black baggy jeans and a baggy white shirt.

I hung my bag on one arm and arrived at the parlor where I met Theon watching TV.

I literally forgot I was now living with a human being.

He turned to look at me , using his eyes to study me for a while before looking away.

" you're going out"he asked and I walked to stand in front of the door and turned to look at him.

" yeah and I don't think I can leave you behind"

I said and he averted his gaze from the TV to look at me " I don't trust you"

He sighed and returned his eyes to what he was watching.

" and neither do I" he said

" I literally don't care if you trust me or not, am scared to leave you alone at my house, what if you steal from me and runaway"I was telling him exactly what I had in mind.

I heard him trying to stifle a laugh but he couldn't do it properly as they escaped his throat.

" what do you have that I want to steal from you"

He said and that made my heart shatter. Did he just make me feel like I'm poor , just because he is using an expensive phone than mine doesn't mean he is richer than me.

I stared at him for a while speechless, I turned back to my door as I twisted the door knob.

" don't just do anything stupid" I said and I knew he gave me one last glance before I left.

I got into my car and Priscy called me.

" where are you" she asked.

" am on my way" I wasn't even late and she had already arrived there before me.

It was just an 11 minute drive

Neeta cut the call after hearing my reply and I hit the road, not forgetting to play my loud music.

~~~~~

I opened the door to walk into the parlor, I was really tired and exhausted from tonight runway  show and I came back with lots of clothings to advertise tomorrow morning.

Theon was still sitting down in the parlor watching tv and when I walked inside , I wasn't even sure he noticed me or he just decided not to look at me.

" is this you" I was about heading to my room and I turned back to look at Theon who was watching tonight show and I was the one he was staring at on the run way.

" yeah , that's me"

" you look terrible on this make up"

I look terrible

What

The makeup doesn't even look as bad as he sounds

" I didn't do it myself"I tried to give an excuse so he wouldn't think I'm a horrible make up artist.

"Did I mention anything like that" he turned to look at me and I began admiring him once more.

I finally went to my room and dumped all the load I was carrying in my hands.

I took my bath and wore my night gown, just at the point I was about picking my phone, my stomach reminded me that I haven't eaten anything through out the day.

Damn, I've been really busy that I even forgot to eat food, me Darcy , forget to eat food, impossible.

I hurried out of the room and into the kitchen , I looked around for what to eat but what I truly wanted to eat was noodles.

I took them out from the cupboard and began preparing.

I don't think Theon has eaten anything ever since , maybe I should cook for two.

While cooking, I tried my best to make sure dinner was going to be good, even though I'm not much of a cook.

I arranged the bowls of noodles neatly on the tables before I finally turned to look at Theon who hasn't left the television, oh , he was on his phone now.

" aren't you hungry" this was the only way I could announce that dinner was ready.

He stood up and walked to the dining,he looked at the noodles before looking at me and back at the noodles.

I was so curious to know if he would like my cooking.

My curiosity grew as I watched him sit down , pick up the fork and rolled the noodles around the fork, and I saw a tattoo behind his right palms but my mind wasn't there to know what the tattoo was.

He glanced at me once more before putting the fork in his mouth and chewing slowly.

A slight smile had already appeared on my face cause I knew my noodles always tasted good but as he dropped the fork and looked at me, my smile disappeared.

"Do you want to poison me" he said with an impassive look on his face staring at me.

" what" I said almost in shock.

" just this simple noodles you can't even cook it properly" he stared at me with a very annoyed look.

God,

I felt so bad, so terrible.

No one has ever spoken about my cooking like this, talk less of how delicious I cook my noodles.

I know I'm not much of a cook but my cooking wasn't as bad as he made it look, and he wasn't kidding at all, there wasn't even a hint of smile on his face, I was so surprised , my eyes were wide open and my lips almost falling apart but I had to compose myself.

" you've just ruined my appetite" he stood up from the table and walked back into his room.

I stared at him until he left and I immediately sat down and tasted what he called poison.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, he just made me feel bad for nothing.

Fucking asshole.

I cleared up my plate and his and went to my room to sleep.
