Genius Girl

Chapter 86 - 86: Night at the Hotel Part 1

Daniella turned and met Evan\'s eyes, their faces were too close that their noses almost brushed each other, "Yeah?" she replied in a seductive whisper. The warm kindling blood burned her cheeks like the breath of a hot wind.

Evan swallowed hard as if sharp and thin shattered glasses were pinned on his throat, he watched as she batted her eyelashes while his eyes as lovely as a starry night lowered to her parted lips. His other hand caressing her thigh lifted and brushed a knuckle on her glossy lips.

"About my mom-" he was cut out when Daniella shook her head.

He nodded, understanding that she didn\'t want to discuss it now.

The road they were passing was crowded with other cars swarming like bees, different car horns sounded from outside which could be heard in the car but Evan and Daniella were peacefully holding hands, her head on his shoulder nestled like a dove and both of their eyes were closed savoring the warmth coming from each other.

When they arrived at the hotel, it was past 8 in the night, the sky might have been dark and clouded but the street was alive like a night in Vegas.

They didn\'t have a hard time finding their room but as they walked side by side both of their hearts pounded as the tide of triumph began to race through their veins.

Click!

The sound of the automatic door roared in the hotel room as soon as Evan closed the door. The dimly lit hotel room was thronged with inexplicable air, a couch with a size that could fit five people was just a few meters from them.

Bright pink with the same color of a rose played on Daniella\'s cheeks, she walked past Evan with a heavy breath leaving her mouth. Her heart was feeling heavy as if a boulder was laying on it, making it hard for her to breath even more.

She heard Evan\'s footsteps approaching her, she had her body turned away from him, trying to hide how nervous and flushed she was.

As the footsteps halted behind her , her heart precipitated and when a firm familiar arm sn.a.k.e.d around her waist a silent gasp let out from her lips.

She gulped hard; her lips didn\'t have the strength to speak and thanks to her current state , she can\'t make a sentence to ease the tension engulfing around the room.

Out of nowhere, a laugh full of pleasure and delight rang into her ear and it made the whole room light up while confusion registered on Daniella\'s face.

Evan took a step back, he could feel how tense Daniella was from the stiffness of her body, it felt as if he was hugging a statue.

His hands lay on her shoulder, slowly turning her around with his eyes spangled like stars.

He patted her head like a small kid, seeing her flushed face made his unclouded sun-like smile into a laugh " I\'m not a monster " he continued as he stared at her blue eyes blazing like stars with embarrassment.

Daniella bit her lips, she gulped hard by the tease on his face, "I am not nervous!" she blurted masking her embarrassment with a pissed expression.

"Yeah sure" he replied still amused by her expression "Why don\'t you take a shower first, I will arrange our clothes" he offered and pushed her towards the bathroom door slowly.

When Daniella was about to enter the bathroom, her shoulders shivered when a hand suddenly slapped her behind.

Widening her eyes, she turned back and saw Evan wink at her once and he turned around whistling a whimsical hum.

She closed the door and locked it swiftly and now that she was alone, Daniella\'s heart waggled even more.

Her feet slightly trembling anxiously moved closer to the sink. She lay both hands on the neat sink, her chest rose up and down as she took a few breaths.

She took a step back away from the mirror above the sink, she could see her face reddening as if she had consumed a thousand chili.

Her eyes lowered down to her legs and arms, the silicon skin was still glued on her body, hiding all the scars and as soon as she realized how much there was she suddenly felt uncomfortable and scared and by instinct her eyes looked around to check for an exit to escape her current situation.

\'No Daniella \' she giggled maniacally inside \'you asked Evan to come with you! You can\'t escape and just disappear like a mushroom!\' she scolded herself in her mind.

Her mind froze by that thought \'Oh! Is that why Matthew kept calling me a mushroom?\' the black shade of doubt swung through her brain, her head shook as she stared at her disappointed reflection in the mirror.

\'What am I thinking?\' she slapped a hand on her cheeks absently and when she felt the terrible pain because of the amount of force she used , Daniella\'s face darkened like an impenetrable cloud.

\'No wonder my friends call me crazy! It\'s because I do stuff like this!\' she once again shook her head. She stared at the red handprint on her cheeks, while her hands were slowly taking off her dress.

When she suddenly heard Evan\'s voice talking to someone, Daniella moved closer to the door and leaned towards it .

"I don\'t know when I will be back but you have to watch the company and handle all the meetings, Kirby."

"Yes and Selena too."

Daniella took a step back with a look of guilt evident in her eyes. She knew how important his work was but if they were to go back, it meant she would need to face the truth.

She sighed with her eyes staring at the wall, an undefined sadness seemed to have fallen about her like a cloud \'I don\'t want to go back yet \' she sadly said in her mind.

When she was left with nothing on but underwear Daniella put on the water to fill the tub. She stared at the crystal-clear water flushing down the faucet while her mind traveled somewhere else.

Soon the tub was half filled with water , the fog evaporating from it has made the whole bathroom misty while the silence that seemed heavy and dark irked her ears.

She got up and removed the last pieces of clothing she had on casually while her mind was stuck in her endless thought. Her skin didn\'t seem to notice how hot the water as she sank her body into the water and stayed inside like a submarine.
