Husband With Benefits
Chapter 182: Uh Oh!

Chapter 182: Uh Oh!

Isabella stared at Nora with a hopeful look, her voice laden with enthusiasm. "Come on, sweetheart. You have to come! This is the first time we can be together without the threat of that woman hanging over your head! It will be a lot of fun! And don’t you want to be with you hottie husband? I mean he was here last week and your glow has yet to subside! Let’s go back and you won’t even need any spa days or facial for the entire month..."

Nora’s expression flickered as she cursed in her heart! It was because of that man that she couldn’t go back. Her husband had actually warned her to not return or else he would lock her inside the house! As if! That had been the biggest motivating factor for her to return and let him try grounding her but she’d given in at the last moment. It just wasn’t worth it to get into a fight with him. Instead, she would stay here and pretend to be agreeable while trying to gather some ammunition.

Though that attempt too had almost proven to be a failure. None of the Frosties knew what it was that Demetri had been hiding. Sighing, she shook her head," You know I want to come. But I cannot. I need to catch up with the extra classes. The ’perks’ of enrolling in the middle of the term! Come back soon Bella baby and we can have fun here."

Isabella’s shoulders slumped, but she nodded understandingly. "I get it, Nora. But you’ll be missed back home."

Quickly Isabella caught Nora in a bear hug as if she was leaving forever...Before Nora could protest that she was having trouble breathing, Isabella stepped back and cursed.

Frowning in surprise at the sudden string of curses escaping Isabella’s mouth, Nora stared at her but the girl was looking somewhere else. Following her line of sight, Nora felt her mouth fall open too.

"Isn’t that Erasmi? That jerk! He actually told me that he was leaving the country and now he is still here three days later! That liar! All he had to do was take me with him on the private plane, but he lied to me! Let me go give him a piece of my mind!"

Before Nora could stop her, Isabella was already marching towards him. Nora stared at the man whose back was to them and tried to wonder why Erasmi would lie to her? And what was he doing here at the airport today? Her gaze fixed on the man, she stared intently when the man turned their way.

Sh*t! This was not Erasmi! This was Demetri! What was he doing here? Quickly Nora started to make her way to him and that is when she realized that Isabella was going to jump onto him. Literally, pounce on him! Uh oh! She needed to save Isabella before the girl...

Too late. Suddenly everything seemed to happen in slow motion as Nora watched Isabella as she was already running towards him full speed. As she jumped to throw her arms around the man, Demetri seemed to have realized that someone was approaching him. As expected, the man was quick on his feet and jumped out of Isabella’s way while Bella had no way of stopping her momentum.

Her face contorted and she closed her eyes, unable to watch her friend diving onto the ground. Unexpectedly, Demetri slipped the leather bag in his hand under Isabella, cushioning her fall.

Nora opened her eyes and watched as Demetri quickly helped Isabella straighten up, his expression so dangerous that she was sure the world around him would freeze. But Isabelle remained unaware and ungrateful towards Demetri for saving her.

"How could you step out of the way when I was about to jump on you?"

Demetri raised an eyebrow at the girl who had almost accosted him. What did she think he would do? Stand there and let her hug him? What a crazy girl. With a shake of his head, he ignored her and looked around. Where was the cab that he had booked?

Just when Demetri was about to step away, Isabella muttered, "Erasmi Frost, you now dare to ignore me! I am going to make toast of...."

Demetri who had paused at the sound of his brother’s name watched as his wife raced forward and covered the girl’s mouth with her hand. "You need to be quiet babe! This is not Erasmi."

Isabella’s face paled and her eyes widened as she stared at the man’s unsmiling mouth she looked between the man standing there and Nora and nodded slowly.

Quickly, Nora made introductions," Demetri, this is Isabella. Bella baby, this is my husband, Erasmi’s twin- Demetri."

Demetri raised an eyebrow as he heard Nora’s name for her friend and nodded," Miss Isabella Ruffalo, a pleasure to finally meet you."

Isabella flushed at her mistake and smiled awkwardly," Nice to meet you too. I am so sorry for the misunderstanding. It seems I am fated to mistake you and your brother for each other." Demetri was about to respond but before he could say anything, Isabella had turned to Nora and was questioning her," Nora sweetheart, how do you even tell them apart! They look too alike."

While outwardly he remained calm and watched the two girls bid each other goodbye again, inwards Demetri was already seething! Baby? Never ever had Nora called him by any sweet name and here she was throwing it around like confetti! She even called him ’Mr Husband’ while her best friend got called baby? How was that fair?

Was it too much to ask that his wife call him something sweet like that? Was it too much to ask for a ’honey’ or a ’darling’ or even a ’sweetie’ now and then? He called her kitten lovingly, did he not? Shouldn’t she have reciprocated?

Of course, Demetri who had just been doused in vinegar failed to consider that he had not thought of this before and all his thoughts just now were because he was jealous...
