Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law - Chapter 202
”Oo” Mimi collected the other two beer from Diana before the latter ran off. Mimi went to the spring and placed the beer down. She looked at the water and smiled before taking off her bathrobe. Leaving just the swimwear that Diana gave her, she walked into the water and found a rock to lean against.
Mimi’s eyes were almost closing when she heard footsteps and voices that were coming towards the spring.
Mimi stood up and at once and grew panic. She was about to ran out of the water when she saw a familiar person jump into the water, pulling her along.
Wales held the drinks in one hand and his other hand wrapped around Mimi’s body as he pulled her and they hid by some flowers that were behind the rock. Wales looked at her and blinked his eyes, making her turn quiet.
Mimi looked at his hands that were almost touching her breast and blushed. Even under the water, her face was red..
”There is no one here…”
Wales turned under the water when he heard the familiar voice.
”No one is here? Wales was coming here to send Miss Song to her room. Are they gone?” Alex looked around.
”Chief, seeing the way I suddenly feel like taking a swim” Damien said and jumped into the water.
At that moment, Wales turned and looked at Mimi. When he saw that she couldn’t hold on any longer, he suddenly pushed her against the rock and kissed her. He touched her lips with his and they both tensed up. Neither one of them moved for fear that they would expose themselves. They remained in that compromising position with Wales lips on hers.
Alex furrowed his brows when he saw the two legs behind the rock. He recognized the trousers of Wales and smiled. He turned to Damien who was about to move towards the rock.
”I should take a rest by the rock” Damien said and was about to go closer when Alex called him.
Wales’s gaze shifted to Alex and they saw each other before he leaned even more closer, pressing Mimi’s body against the rock, with their lips still on each other. Mimi closed her eyes and her body quivered.
”Damien, get out of there fast. I saw something like a snake”
”Hey! A snake?” Damien got out of the water.
”Let’s get out of here” Alex pulled Damien away as the latter continued to ask.
”Where is the snake that you saw?”
”It’s late, you can swim there tomorrow” Alex’s voice faded away as they went farther.
When Wales was sure that they were gone, he looked at Mimi and stepped back saying, ”I think they are gone”
Mimi opened her eyes and lowered her gaze. She didn’t have the guts to look him in the eye. Her mind was clouded and she couldn’t think straight. This was definitely something she had not expected or even dreamt about.
”Let’s go. We can use the backdoor to my room, then you will leave from there”
”Huh?” Mimi looked at him.
Wales got out of the water and picked the bathrobe. He threw it at Mimi who was also getting out of the water behind him.
”Put this on” he said softly.
Mimi looked at her body and flushed. She had forgotten that she was wearing thin swear bra and pant which she borrowed from Diana. It had aligned her figure, leaving nothing for imagination.
Mimi’s face turned red as she put on the bathrobe. She lowered her gaze, feeling embarrassed.
”Let’s go” Wales said and Mimi followed him.
Wales used the backdoor because his room had a balcony which had stairs leading to his room from the back. He didn’t walk fast. He walked slowly allowing Mimi to catch up with him at her own pace.
When they got into the balcony, Mimi sneezed. It was obvious she was feeling cold.
”Come in and sit first. I will brew you a cup of tea. You will catch a cold at this rate” Wales said to her.
”I feel wet” Mimi said and Wales immediately turned to look at her. His face turned red. It was obvious he had misunderstood the meaning behind her word. His mind was taking him somewhere entirely the moment he heard the word, ‘wet’.
Mimi coughed slightly and saw him looking at her so she asked, ”why are you looking at me like that?”
”You said you are wet?” Wales asked.
”I mean the bathrobe is wet. I might need a change of clothes” Mimi clarified before she realized what Wales was thinking.
”You… you are so shameless. That isn’t what I meant” Mimi said to him.
”I didn’t think about that. Don’t call me shameless” Wales muttered and walked away.
Mimi looked at him and frowned. She looked around the room, not knowing where to sit. She turned towards a couch and was about to sit when the doorbell rang.
Wales turned and they looked at each other.
”Are you expecting someone?” Mimi asked.
”No. Go to the bathroom. I will get you clothes to change into before I answer the door”
”Oo” Mimi turned and Wales pointed at the bathroom and she went in.
”Team leader, are you inside?” Parker’s voice came through.
”I’m coming Parker” Wales gave a set of shirt and pants to Mimi before taking off his shirt and went to get the door.
”What is it, Parker?” Wales opened the door.
”I came with someone…” Parker stepped aside revealing Antonio Ash, Wales’ father.
”Father?”
Mr. Ash stepped inside the room as he asked, ”what are you doing without a shirt?”
”I… I was going to take my shower” Wales said what came to mind. Wales closed the door after Parker left.
”Then, go and take your bath. I want to have a drink with you”
”A drink?” Wales looked towards the bathroom with a complicated emotion.
”Why? Do you have someone inside? Why are you acting strange?”
”I don’t have anyone. I just find it strange that you want to have a drink with me. How about we go to the balcony?” Wales suggested.
”No, the weather is a little cold. Let’s stay here” Mr. Antonio took a seat on the couch and placed the wine on the table. He looked at Wales and said, ”go and bath. Hurry up”
”Yes… yes, father” Wales nodded his head and went into the bathroom. When he pulled the curtain and stepped inside, Mimi had already changed into the clothes he gave her.
It was extremely awkward inside the bathroom. Mimi couldn’t come out for fear of being seen. Wales had to take a shower to make his lie believable.
”My father is in there…”
”I heard your conversation. He is waiting for you to shower and come out for a drink” Mimi replied.
Their breathing became heavy as they felt crammed inside the bathroom.
”Wales, are you going to shower with your pants on?” Mr. Antonio asked as he stretched his neck towards the bathroom.
”No, I’m going to change” Wales replied and coughed. He looked at Mimi and the tension started building up. Things weren’t easy as they both remembered the kiss they shared in the spring.
”I… I will close my eyes. You don’t have to mind my presence”
”Then… don’t open your eyes until I tell you to”
”Mm” Mimi nodded her head and closed her eyes.
Wales looked at her and his gaze darkened. Even though her eyes were close, she still bit her lips. He knew it was probably because she was nervous but why did that excite him so much.
Wales shook his head and took off his pants. He could see his father’s shadow right outside. His luck was that, the curtains were thick and opaque so his father couldn’t see inside.
Wales turned the shower on and the water splashed on Mimi as she leaned against the wall as closely as possible. Her eyelids were shaking. It was as if she could visibly imagine the man in front of her even though her eyes were closed.
Mimi bit her lips harder when the curiosity was taking over her. She was tempted to open her eyes and see the naked view of the man in front of her but she couldn’t.
But it was clear to both of them as day…. That this moment had brought a change in their relationship. Nothing about them was ever going to be the same. They had both crossed the line with each other already.
Wales’ eyes strained on the water in front of him as he took his shower. He found her actions cute and even desirable. She was lucky there was something just outside. He could have sworn he would have taken her right in the shower if no one was around.
He had to hold himself back. He ended his shower earlier than he always did. He turned off the shower and picked a towel to wrap around his waist before saying to her softly.
”You can open your eyes”
Mimi opened her eyes slowly and her breathing turned heavy when he saw his chest. Her throat throbbed.
”Wales, are you done?” Mr. Antonio’s voice came through.
”Yes, father…” Wales looked at Mimi and said to her, ”I will try to send him away, just hold on for a while”
”Mm”
Wales smiled and placed his hand on her head, he patted her hair softly and said before going out, ”I won’t be long. I promsie”
