Chapter 18: Your nosiness will get you in trouble
Luciano turned to look at me and I just turned my face away.
I knew that look, he gave that look when he was up to something.
I touched my neck in a reflex action and looked in the direction that he walked to.
He was going to the kitchen but I had no idea what he wanted to make or do.
I stood in one position trying to remain calm. Gladys was right, the pain we go through as girls is just so weird.
What exactly was the purpose of having periods and having them for days?
I didn’t want to complain about the cramps to Luciano. He’d just say something crazy and I already got on the bad foot with him this morning.
“Ourgh,” I muttered when I felt the sharp pain in my stomach again. Maybe the pain was only getting worse because I haven’t had any meal.
I sighed and walked to the kitchen. I pushed the door open and Luciano turned in my direction immediately.
His mouth was full and I could see the plate of food in his hands.
I looked around but I couldn’t find any extra plate that could be mine.
Wait. He didn’t get any food for me? I swallowed hard and his brows furrowed as he looked at me.
“Searching for something?” He asked and I frowned.
Of course I was but why did he want me to say it?
“Oh, I get it,” he scoffed. “There’s only one plate available.”
How the fuck was he this self centered?
“Right,” I blurted and turned to leave the kitchen.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I fell to the couch and used my hands to cover my face. This was so annoying and I hated how it made me feel.
I suddenly turned to the dinning and there I found a bag. My curiosity peaked and I reached for the bag to search its content.
“Oh my God,” I mumbled when I found out the bag contained a plate if spiced macaroni and cheese.
I know I said he was self centered but this had to be the sweetest thing done today.
Getting me my favorite food made me smile and I just lowered to the seat to eat.
I strived to get the container opened and I began chewing. It tasted so good and I didn’t want to stop.
When I was done with the meal, I gulped down the bottle water beside me and sighed.
“Oh my goodness.”
I was so fed up and I knew I needed to sleep. From the articles I read, getting enough rest helps in ameliorating cramps.
I cleaner my mouth with the wipe and cleared the table.
I walked into my room and locked the door behind me.
Glad I could eat something, I laid on the bed and yawned.
I looked at the ceiling thinking of nothing in particular but sleep wasn’t coming.
I tried to force my eye lids closed but the more I tried, the worst it turned.
After so many attempts to get some sleep, I gave up and stood up.
I reached for the shirt on my bed and changed into it. I packed my hair into a messy bun and walked outside.
The house was not big enough to take a stroll inside but I could definitely move around till I got tired.
I looked around the sitting room and just stood in the silence. I held the hem of my shirt when I heard the sound.
The front door squeaked and I raised my brows. “What was that?” I asked and paused.
I took a step toward the door and I saw Luciano. He was sneaking out through the door and before I realized it, he locked the door with his keys.
“What?” I muttered in disbelief. Did he just lock me inside?
I hurriedly got to the door and tried to pull it open but I couldn’t. It was obvious that he locked me inside.
“No way,” I blurted and used my hand to run through my hair.
I turned back to Luciano’s room but the door was also locked.
“Fuck, my passport.”
It was all I could think of and I couldn’t stop imagining what Luciano had planned.
He was probably going to lock me up and get me to do what he wants.
I tried to push the door open but it wasn’t working. Frustrated at the way everything was going, I took a deep breath.
“I need to get help.”
I had no idea what to do but I knew getting help was the first.
I looked around but there was no sign of my phone. I reached for the shirt on the couch to see if my phone was there but it wasn’t.
“This fucking asshole.”
There was nothing else to do or place to search. I tried all I could but the doors were locked from outside.
I sat quietly on the couch waiting for Luciano to return home and explain what the hell he was doing.
I took numerous deep breaths and just sat down. I yawned and before I could say anything else, I could feel my eyes get heavy.
I was already feeling sleepy and my body wasn’t cooperating with me. I wanted to stay awake till Luciano returned but I couldn’t.
I rested my head carefully and I slept off.
The easy and relaxed state was everything I yearned for. All of a sudden, there was tranquility and I could hear nothing but my breathing pattern.
I’m not sure what I felt but I felt a hand over me. I opened my eyes slightly only to see Luciano was carrying me in his arms.
I closed my eyes back and he laid me on the bed. He turned to leave and I opened my eyes.
I needed to know what happened and why- why he was bleeding. I saw his nose bleed and I needed to know what happened.
I strode behind till I got to his room and he was about entering the bathroom.
He turned to look at me and I swallowed the lump in my throat.
“Your nosiness will be your doom,” he scoffed at me and turned.
