Bride For Rent novel Chapter 37

Why is it that Felicity nice curves is driving him out of his mind and he really wants to take her but not for pleasures but to keep? What's so special about her?

She is most definitely not his type of woman, she is too childish and easily coerced.

She has a tendency to forgive easily when promised just an ice cream or a cake.

She laughs over anything whether funny or not.

She worries if she sees a single frown on his face.

She sulks if he just as much as told her to leave him alone.

She blushes when he flirts with her.

She looks away bashfully if he shows a little affection to her.

Her eyes lit up just as the sight of him.

She doesn't hesitate to act cute when he is around.

And right now, she is stuffing ice cream on her face that always remind him just how much of a child she is.

But why, why is it that all those things he mentioned is what that draws him to her?

Why does he have this urge to wipe away that cream on her nose?

Why does he want to pull her closer and kiss her?

What the hell is wrong is wrong with him?

Snap out of it, Raymond Baldwin!

"Are you okay?" Felicity's soft voice pierced into his heart and soul, he woke up from his deep thoughts. His gaze fixed on her, studying her facial features, her diamond shaped face, her emerald green eyes that is trying to figure out what is wrong with him now. Her natural defined nose and her, oh God, sexy heart shaped lips. He forced himself to look away from her and mumbled 'mm."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She looked down on her almost empty plate of ice cream.

"Nothing, just staring at the creams on your face."

"Oh, would you help me clean it?"

"Why can't you do it yourself?"

"Because I can't see it and" she looked up at him slowly "aunt Katy and grandma always help me clean it. You have done so once too" she looked down again.

Raymond let out a frustrated sigh, he hates how she acts so pitiful whenever he challenges her, but if he doesn't, how is she going to learn? He picked up a napkin and handed it to her "here, it's at the tip of your nose and your cheeks, wipe them off."

Katherine and Mercy exchanged looks and both sighed, "it's okay" she patted Felicity's back "I will ask him to explain better. I'm so happy you talks to us now" she smiled and kissed her hair "please don't do that again okay?"

Felicity nodded "I won't. Maybe it's why little Ray is angry with me now" she intertwined her fingers nervously.

"Nonsense, he was worried, true, which is why he tried his best to get you to talk. I think he is just thinking over something relating to company. He will be better tomorrow you will see" Katherine smiled as she comforted her "now go rest okay, everything will be fine tomorrow."

She nodded and stood up "goodnight Aunt Katy, good night nanny Mercy."

"Good night my darling."

"Good night dear" Mercy smiled and Felicity left for her room. She turned to Katherine then "what do you think is wrong?"

"I don't know. But I will try to talk to him tomorrow, Felicity just started talking today, she doesn't need another emotional trauma. I only hope he understands that and let go whatever he might be thinking now."

"I hope so too."

"Goodnight Mercy" Katherine stood up "I'm going to try to sleep better tonight than I have in a month."

Mercy chuckled "me too."

They turned off all the lights in the house and turned in for the night.
