Chapter 250: We won’t tell him

Talia raked her hand through her hair as she stared at her reflection one more time in the mirror before grabbing a lip balm.

Opening off the top, she applied it slowly to her lips which was drawled into a smile before she threw it into her purse and headed out of her suite .

On her way, she called Jephthah.

"I’m on my way out. Where are you?"

"I’m in the driveway. Ann’s Lexus."

"K." She simply replied before ending the call. However, she bumped into Maddy Belle on her way out the halls, the phone dropped to the ground, along with hers.

"I knew in some way you were disabled, but I didn’t know you were blind." Maddy sniggered as Talia bent to pick up her phone, but the snickering look on her face froze when she saw she just ended a call with someone name Jephthah with a heart emoji beside it.

"Excuse me." Talia didn’t even bother to exchange words with her as she walked past her, cradling the phone in her hands.

Strange.

Maddy Belle chewed on her lower lip as she contemplated on what to do, curiosity eating her up as she yearned to know where Talia was heading off too.

As Talia left, she went to her room to see Beatrice, her assistant.

Once the door burst open, Beatrice almost fell to the ground, close to knocking over the nail polish which was open before her as she painted her nails a shade of blood red.

"Beatrice get the keys... we need to leave, now!" Maddy Belle grabbed some shoes from underneath her bed and was already sprawled on the floor, dragging the boots up her feet.

Beatrice got up, rolling her eyes like the whole world was sitting on her upper eyes lids as she closed the nail polish.

"Where do you think we’re heading to by 10:03pm in the middle of the night?"

"I don’t have time to explain myself. Just put on some shoes.. you look decent enough already."

"It’s already past 7:00pm. We need our Manager’s permission before leaving this premises or the hotel manager won’t let us leave. Did you even think of that?"

"Well, call Simon. Tell him we’re leaving to go to the gym or something."

She tugged the shoe up her knees and shot Beatrice a dark glare when it looked like she wanted to retort again.

"Hey babe." Talia wrapped her arms around his waist, and in the dark driveway where no one could spot them, they shared a very short but passionate kiss before she led herself into the Passenger’s seat, and after he shut the door, he made his way to the driver’s seat and shut the door after himself.

"How did you convince Max to let me off?"

"Max and I have grown quite close over the days, Talia, and besides, he understands how much this dinner means to us... it’s like a date. Our first actual date."

She blushed.

"Well, consider it a double date actually." Jephthah said, taking note of Ann and John, and she burst out laughing and he hit the road.

*

"Let me help you with that." John said after staring over Ann’s shoulders, watching her cut for a while.

All the blood which had rushed to her face, causing her face to look like a tomatoe, gathered in her cheeks as she leaned back, her eyes swooning over him as he dutifully resumed cutting.

"T- thanks." She said still staring at him like she was enchanted by how he could look like he just stepped out of a painting.

Talia and Jephthah would be here any second, and she had just finished with preparing dinner, only to realize she forgot to dice some apples to compliment the array dishes on the table.

He had worn an apron over the dinner suit he was wearing for dinner, but he was so damn attractive with all his focus on dicing the apples that for a few minutes she just stood there staring at him until he felt her gaze on his face and turned to her with an inquisitive gaze.

However when she turned away, blushing furiously, he smiled knowingly.

"All done." He said, taking off his apron, and she followed suit.

She was in a plain dinner gown and after taking off her hair net, he saw she had styled her hair into a bun with hair ringlets falling down, cradling her perfect face.

"They look good." She complimented politely as she grabbed the tray of perfectly diced apples. "Where did you learn how to dice apples so perfectly?"

It was ridiculous starting up a conversation with dicing of apples, but she had to start from somewhere, right?

John grinned as he washed his hands before following her to the dinning where she laid it out amongst the dishes.

"Why are you keen on knowing that? We can talk about something much more interesting." As she turned from where she set the apples on the dinning table, she gasped when he suddenly corned her, his violet eyes buried deep inside her eyes like he was searching into her soul.

She swallowed, and felt her pupils dilate when his eyes slowly raked down from her face down to her neck, fascinated at how fair and blemish free her skin was.

Suddenly, his pupils dilated, and he felt the lavender scent emanating off her reek like she just stepped out of the trash. Disgust in his eyes, he suddenly pulled away, feeling that brimming heat searing hot in his body, making him uncomfortable again.

"John?" Ann stepped forward but he held a hand up, stopping her. "What’s wrong?"

"I don’t know." He replied in a strained voice, and honestly, he didn’t.

Ann suddenly glanced at her phone when it beeped.

"Talia and Jephthah are here."

"Uh... let them in. I’ll be fine." He managed a smile, and even if the look she had on meant she didn’t believe him, she still left to open the door.

He felt all his senses heighten all at once, a beautiful scent of blueberries filling the entire dinning room as she left, and his cannines Itching to bite something, and he was convinced his mate was close.

But who?

It couldn’t be Ann.

Maybe Talia and Jephthah brought another friend for dinner?

*

As Ann opened the door, she noticed Jephthah wasn’t standing next to Talia.

"Oh my God, Talia!! You look so beautiful!" She gushed with genuine awe in her eyes.

"Thank you.. " Talia blushed a bit, not expecting her reaction at all. "By the way, Jephthah’s phone fell into a compartment in your car, and he’s wondering if you know a way to get it out.. "

"Oh... that’s happened to me so many times." She chuckled as she side stepped Talia. "We’ll be back in a minute. Make yourself at home."

As she left, the smile on Talia’s face vanished, and she held the door knob, steadying her weight.

It was like there was a hot unknown feeling lurking in her body, setting every part of her sensitive skin on fire, filling her nostrils with the scent of Jephthah.

She had thought it was probably the mate bond pulling them closer, but it was weird that this pull kept growing stronger as she grew farther away from Jephthah, and she was so confused she didn’t understand what was going on.

Her legs almost gave way as she pushed the door open, and when she walked into the room, she threw her purse down, ignoring the heated tension she felt, pushing it to the back of her mind as she made her way to the dinning room.

"John... " She called, but her voice came out strained and she unknowingly grabbed onto the side of the wall, a sharp pain running through her head as her senses were sharpened, and she could hear the sounds of footsteps growing close.

Closer to her.

"Talia."

It was John, and with each step he took close to her, the scent grew stronger and stronger, and when she raised her head , they locked eyes.

There was this sudden wave of desire and heated connection they couldn’t deny they felt as they just stood there, staring at each other unblinkingly.

No one moved for a full minute, until Talia stepped back, a stricken look in her eyes.

John stepped back repulsively at the same time, and he had horror in his eyes.

"This must be a joke." Talia held the bridge of her nose and tried to laugh but it came out nervous and raspy before she glanced up to lock eyes with John again. "Right?"

"Talia... " John suddenly stepped forward but she began leaving.

He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

When he touched her, they both stepped back from each other again on feeling the sparks connecting them, rush up their hands, to their wrists.

"I’m going home." Her voice was curt and final.

He stared at her like he was stupid.

"Look, I know this is hard for you to comprehend, but it’s harder for me too. If you leave right now, Jephthah will only grow suspicious. Let’s just act like it never happened and talk later when we don’t have to worry about letting Jephthah know about this."

"So we won’t tell him? We’ll just act like ’this’ never happened?" They were talking in hushed voices, but she sounded very angry now.

"Do you want to tell him we’re mates?" John suddenly snapped at her and she froze when she realized what he meant. "Do you want Jephthah to know that his Luna, the love of his life is mated to his twin brother too?"
