Undesirable

Ch 14 - Game of Hearts---First Romantic Dinner

"No I don't want anything" I said absentmindedly to get rid of her.

"Sir seems like you really need something" She said again.

"No thanks miss" I said without even looking at her.

"Sir you will not be able to resist" She whined again.

I got irritated and lift my eyes getting irritated with her persistence to yell at her, to notice a blond stewardess standing in front of me with two top buttons of her shirt open which was giving a view of her cleavage. Her stance showed she was trying to be seductive but I didn't care. I have had my past relationships to show what type of woman she was. My nostrils flared in anger and I shouted at her "Miss Lucinda Anderson I warn you to leave me right away if you want to keep this job".

This immediately made her to quiver in her place. I could see the panic in her face and she left like a dog was out to bite her. I turned my head away when I heard again "Mr. Evans".

"How many times do I have to tell you that I don't need anything and seems like no one here follows order" I said to look at the figure only to see Evelyn standing with a panicked expression.

Seeing her scared because of me made me feel apologetic and my expression changed from angry to a calm one immediately "Oh Evelyn... I am sorry you had to witness that. Have a seat" I said.

"It's ok Mr. Evans" She said meekly while sitting next to me.

I didn't like her calling me by my last name like I have no relation with her, without letting the irritation show on my face I turned to her and said "Evelyn can you stop calling me Mr. Evans. I am your husband. Can't you call me Richard? Is that hard for you" Though I was trying my best not to let irritation show on my face but seems like my tone showed my annoyance.

Evelyn being the prey to my past behavior and being the witness of my rude behavior just a moment before uttered nervously"I am sorry Mr...mm. Richard". I could feel her discomfort, but if she kept on calling me Mr. Richard then I cannot pretend being in love.

"Look Evelyn I am sorry to yell at you" I looked at her I would have continued but it seemed to me this is not the right place and time to talk all I am saying or doing is coming out wrong. She is the woman who made my heart start caring after rose though all I am doing is play with her feelings and pretend to be a good husband. I know it is a great change for her but if there was any other option and she was an actress like I assumed earlier I didn't have to pretend to be nice.

The thought that I was again going to hurt an innocent irritated me and I punched the bell and soon I saw another stewardess Maria came and answered "Sir you need assistance".

"Yes Nancy, first of all, I want to ensure that I do not come across Miss Anderson anywhere near me or my wife. And if I do everyone and I mean it every one of the crew on this flight will be fired".

"Secondly I and my wife are waiting for our breakfast. I will have my usual" I said and then  turned to Evelyn "What would you like to have precious?"

When I looked at Evelyn she seemed surprised and then said "I will have muffins and coffee".

After breakfast, Evelyn drowned her face in the business magazine and I felt as if she was trying to avoid me. It would have been fine but to get the happy couple look on our honeymoon I would have to interact with her.

"Evelyn..." I whispered to her.

She looked at me and asked "Yes".

"Are you.. Are you like ignoring me?" I asked.

"I am not... ignoring you Mr. Evans" She said nervously.

I groaned and said "Evelyn.. did you forget I asked to call me by my first name. Is it too difficult to follow?"
