Chapter 3: Chapter-3. (A Little Help Needed).
"Have you gone crazy?"
His eyes twitched and something shifted in his body. The old cool attitude which he used till now got almost cracked. I could feel the same tense energy radiating off like that day.
His grip on the box tightened, so does his jaw. "What do you mean?" He gritted out every word with such tone that almost made my skin crawl.
I opened my mouth about to reply when one side of his mouth curved into a smug, "You literally begged my grandparents to make this marriage happen and now you say that I was the crazy one."
His accusation made my jaw hit the floor.
First of all ouch.
Second of all, how dare he use my that against me.
The only ounce of worry whoofed in the next moment, as I turned my expressions to cold...just like him. Folding my arms, I gave him a judgemental look as my gaze directed from his head to toe.
And for a moment, he stirred under my gaze. I don't know if it was true or just my crazy imagination but I did not expressed it at my face.
I arched my one brow as I spoke, "I was wrong." His eyes sparkled as if he won the oscars, the way his body buffed almost made me scoff. He flipped his hair back in style as he said, "Of course, you should be. I..."
"You are not crazy. You are delusional, Dave Morris."
A pin drop silence filled the whole room along with the awkward tension. It took almost ten seconds before Caroline broke the silence. She gasped as if she could not belive that I, Elena Kingsley just roasted him.
She covered her mouth but a snort echoed through the room. I had a proud smile in a very long time as I took in the moment. In these past years, I never even used a high tone with him and now I just roasted him. I enjoyed every bit of it and it multiplied seeing his reaction.
That little smug on his face wipped off and instead he stared at me with a dumb founded expression. Maybe he couldn't believe that I would reply back to his taunt but too bad. I wasn't the love sick puppy anymore.
Not after he showed this rude behaviour which I imagone how many time I would have accepted this behaviour.
"So, I suggest you to leave this instant." With this, I tried to shut the door on his face when he stuck his hand to stop me. "What in the world are you thinking?" My voice got increased seeing his childish behaviour. He did not say anything but entered into the apartment.
I pointed my finger at him thinking of scaring him with the police tactic when a scream echoed, "Wait!" All faces turned towards the entrance. "P..Please, wait." He huffed as he inhaled the air for his dear life.
He walked towards Dave and announced, "Elder Boss is looking for you, sir."
"I will but let me.."
"I would not advice that, he ordered to get you as soon as possible. Please the car is waiting for you at the front." He hurriedly spoke up as if he had a train to catch.
Dave stared at him with the same cold expression before he stepped out of the apartment. As soon as he walked out, he walked towards me.
He kept looking at the door with nervousness as if Dave would burst in the next moment. "Can we talk?" He whispered out.
"What is it, Josh? But tell me first, has he gone insane? He talked..." I stopped midway as I realized what was I about to say. Though I already announced to our family about our marrital situation yet I did not want it announce to the whole world.
And telling Josh who is also known to be the chatter box would be same like telling the whole world with a speaker. So, instead I used the word weirdly.
He sighed shaking his head in disappointment, "Yeah, he's been a.." He again looked from his shoulder checking if no one listened to his words and continued, "A freaking mess. I cannot even tell you how hectic my schedule has been after he got into that accident."
My eyes widened, and so does Caroline as she gasped in shock, "So it was true."
The next moment Josh slapped his hand on his mouth as if he just revealed that santa was not true. "I did not just say that." He pressure on each and every word. He tried to pinch himself trying to wake himself from the nightmare.
My eyes narrowed at him taking slow steps toward him trying to look like a predator, "Josh. Morgan." I called him out, "Tell me this instant what is going on."
"Miss Ele..." He tried to coax me but I interrupted, "Don't Miss me and tell me. Now."
I was done being the oblivious one. I need to know what happened to this guy who accepted the divorce without batting his eyes but now came here with the ring and a marriage date.
Josh's shoulders slumped as if he too was tired of hiding things. He took a sigh as Croline offered some water which he chugged it in one go. He also loosened his tie and ran his hand throuh his hair. I raised my eye brows seeing his reaction.
Josh, who was known to be as the sphosticated cat lover. He always maintained his style. Even he cut his hair before they grew more than a milimeter. Now, that he lmost looked like overworked emloyee, I could sense the depth of the situation.
"He got into an car accident the day you announce about the divorce and lost a specific period of time that's why he thinks that you both are yet to be married." The revelation left the whole room silent. And I?
I don't even know what to say to him. He forgot the three years we spent.
Every time I think the situation can't be worsen, God proves me wrong in every ways. Now, what is left? I have to be with him till he gains his memory.
The moment this thought came to my mind, Josh scratched the back of his neck, as he mumbled out, "And we might also need your help."
