Chapter 44: Need Expert Advise
In the evening, as Nora lounged in the house, staring at the pretty plants, she could not help but sigh. That unsettled feeling seemed to come over her more and more often. Whether it was in college or at the cafe or even when she was travelling, she would suddenly feel as if someone was watching and then that feeling would disappear.
The only time she seemed to feel safe was when she was in this house. It could be because the house was in a gated community and thus whoever was keeping an eye on her had been unable to follow her here. But it still sent a shiver down her spine. What if there really was someone sinister following her around?
She shook her head and concentrated on the small balcony with all its pretty greenery. It soothed her and made her calm. But it also made her think of the man who had been away. Sigh. Demetri Frost might be as mute as a block of ice on most days, but his presence on the other couch was something that she had gotten used to. And as her eyes continued to go back to the empty couch, she realized that she was probably missing the man.
There was something about the man that always seemed to bring her reassurance. Maybe it was that quiet strength within him. He did not need to posture or show off like other boys her age.
As she thought of him, she could not help but also think of that kiss at the airport. As her cheeks flushed, she quickly shook her head and thought to herself that she needed to get acting lessons on how to act without getting her reality muddled. How did all these actors go around acting in love with different people without letting themselves be affected?
Like always, her thoughts jumped from one topic to another, and she glanced to her side with a small mischievous grin. Getting her cell phone, she opened a new chat with her "Mr. Husband."
"Hello. I need your expert advice. Would you please be so kind as to help me?"
She waited for a few moments and saw that the message had been read, but there was no reply... As she waited some more, she sighed. It would be foolish to expect the man to message when he was so stingy with his words. Since he had not messaged a denial, guess she would treat it as an affirmative.
Holding the phone with both her hands, she typed out," Okay, this might not be your expert field of subject but really, I need someone who can help me. Also, I am going to be discreet so help me choose who I should take to bed with me."
