Chapter 10

I tossed and turned all fucking night, wondering if Divine was safe, but at the same time, I was still angry. My mind was at war with my heart. I guess had I known she was okay, maybe I could have rested better. Who was I kidding? That wasn’t a possibility either. I’d gotten used to holding her at night and I felt like a stranger in my own damn home without her being here. But still… I was angry.

I was getting the best sleep of my life, finally, when my phone alerted me that someone had entered the house. It was Divine. I’d set the alarm and allowed notifications. I got up and went brushed my teeth. After starting the shower, I went back to the bedroom to find her standing there in the same thing she had on last night. I stood there, staring at her, not knowing what to say.

She lowered her head and tucked her hair behind her ear, avoiding my gaze. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “It wasn’t my intention to stir drama.”

She stood there fidgeting until her body took over her and forced her to run to the bathroom. Peeking inside, I could see her on the floor in front of the toilet, throwing up. I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that it wasn’t her nerves, but I brushed it off. Going to the bathroom, I got her a towel. I still didn’t really have words right now. I didn’t know what to say to her, other than to treat her like my employee who was sick.

I leaned against the vanity until she finished, then handed her the mouthwash and a cold, wet towel. Leaving the bathroom, I went to her old room, since my bed was a mess and pulled the covers back. When I went back, she was done. I grabbed her hand and led her to the guestroom, so she could lie down. Grabbing my phone, I called the chef so he could come and make a chicken noodle soup. She stared in my eyes, trying to feel me out, but I only said, “Get some rest. The cleaning crew will be here in a lil while and my room is in desperate need.”

I walked out of the room and went to take my shower before the cleaning crew got here. Resting my palms against the wall, I lowered my head, trying to rid myself of the anger, but I didn’t know how to get it off of me right now. While I was trying to show her some affection by grabbing her hand and showing sympathy for the fact that she wasn’t feeling well, it was like the events of last night played through my mind. But she apologized. If her intent wasn’t to stir drama, then what exactly was her intent when she went back and forth with Nadia at a formal event?

As the hot water sprayed over my head and cascaded over my body, I exhaled loudly, then began washing myself.
