Which Billionaire

Chapter 13

I wake up with a sticky face, I groan and get up tiptoeing across the cold floor to the bathroom where I wash my face, getting rid of my makeup from last night. I sigh and fall back in bed, not wanting to leave my room. I reach for my phone and click the button allowing the screen to flood with light. My heart skips a beat as I read the name of the owner who sent a text

'good morning'

I smile as I read it over, I check the time and as I suspected, Vincent texted that thirty minutes ago. I text back the same thing and get up, making sure I won't do as I want and stare at the screen until he replies back. I throw my robe on over my pyjamas and stand at the door, not really wanting to go out. But I do, none the less, and the house is as usual quiet. I walk down the stairs to see at least five suitcases at the door. I raise an eyebrow in question but I soon remember my parents are moving into there hotel today. I sigh in relief at this, honestly I was about to go crazy with them around.

I walk into the dinning room to see Theo at the front of the table and my Mother and Father seated on both sides of him, all three of them with empty plates in front of them.

"Finally, I thought you'd sleep all day" my Father scoffs "you should have gotten up earlier, me and your Mother are leaving soon" he says reaching his fork across the table at a piece of sausage

"Sorry" I say looking down at my bare feet

I look slowly over at my Mother, her hair and makeup perfectly done, her shoulders high, back straight and chest out. My Father stands, already in his usual suit and tie, and Theo follows, shaking his hand "thank you very much for allowing us to stay here" my Father says as they release each other's hands

"Of course, I know Adeline and myself enjoyed your company" Theo charms them but he should speak for himself

My mother stands and smiles at Theo "we'll see you soon I'm sure, please call us if you need anything" my mother smiles and Theo kisses her hand

"It was good to see you again Lillian" he says letting her hand fall back at her side

My parents turn to me and walk in my direction, my father looks down at me with blue eyes like my own "goodbye honey, me and your mother plan to have dinner with you next week if you're free" he says in his usual emotion free and bored tone

"I'm sure I will be" I say already dreading it

My father hugs me quickly and leaves the room, leaving my mother to look after him with a frown. She looks back over at me and smiles, I look in her eyes, although a little nervous to do so from what happened last night but her eyes give away nothing as she speaks, they're just blank "can we grab lunch tomorrow?" She asks in a calm voice

I nod "sure" I say and she hugs me, I lean down at her slight shorter frame and wrap my arms under hers

She nods and walks out without another word leaving me and Theo in silence. We hear conversation in the foyer but it's mostly my parents, my mother directs a couple of our helpers to put there things in the car while my father makes annoyed comments towards her.

After we hear the door close and silence spreads Theo stands and walks towards me "that was interesting" he says

"Agreed" I laugh quietly "you were the one that invited them" I add smiling

He smirks down at me "that's true" he chuckles

It's silent for a moment and I feel odd, why was my mother and husband both nice to me? How odd...
