Cordelia's Pov
Ten minutes earlier on, I was laughing with Rafael about his adventures in Iceland. He grew extroverted while I love to keep it to myself. He spoke of parties, fights and drama while all I had to offer him back were stories of Helena and I or Tobiah and I. The last set though made his jaw lock and his shoulders get tense so I ended up keeping them to myself. On our date, we ended up having lunch and talking for an hour. I didn't feel that comfortable around him. All I know though is that he was trying. I kept on avoiding all questions about Tobiah and I's relation but somehow he got two important facts out of me: One, Tobiah and I's relation started fake and two, I am pregnant.
"Where are we going Tobiah?" I finally asked as the car started to roar loud.
The man by me lead me out without leaving me an actual choice. I feared him and Rafael getting into an actual fight. Tobiah seethed and threw threats at Rafael in the darkest tone making me shiver. Never have I ever heard him speaking in such a tone. I felt my heart racing at his words and all I know is that I need to get him out and away from Rafael. I don't want either to end up bruised and I honestly didn't see any sense in Rafe fighting for me anymore...He is the one that broke us, so why now?
Keeping a steady gaze on Tobiah, I questioned how I got to such situation. I am his boss and swore on being nice yet professional with all of my employees. He has worked with me for a long while ,we teased all the time, and even crossed each other's personal space but never did I ever catch any feelings for him...In these past two months though everything became strikingly different and even my taste in men changed. Tobiah doesn't have dark hair or eyes. He , on the other hand, looks like a prince out of a fairy tale with blue soothing eyes and golden hair. He is the total reverse but I cannot but feel hungry for his attention and care be it emotional or physical. I feel what all cheesy girls call "tingles" when he is next to me . My palms started to sweat ,in the past week, too whenever he is holding them...Which is gorss!
What is this idiot doing to me?
This must be him and his baby manipulating my heart!
Why am I falling way too fast, way too deep?
Didn't I swear not to fall like ever again?
Why is he also inviting me to discover his world out of the blue?
What if he is doing it for the sake of "Reece" or rice-grain alone?
Can he fake his niceness just to get the baby?
What if once the baby is here, he kidnaps it and lives happily ever after with Lana?
" You are getting a glimpse of my world. To start anything, we need to do it rightly: one step at a time. " Tobiah finally spoke shaking me out of my darkening thoughts. I am an over-thinker so if left alone to elaborate on any topic I might ended up questioning where the hell Flight 370 has went.
"What are we starting exactly?" I puzzled sounding guarded. I cannot trust him fully this easily. He was about to get back to Lana. Just yesterday, he was renting about her. A girl needs to protect her heart fully because no one else has such powers. Girls must stay powerful. Never surrender easily to any guy because it can all be an act or a fling in the moment.
"You will see. I have a whole plan in mind. Just keep away from that ferret or else I will not be held accountable for my actions." Tobiah grumbled the last part as his hands held the wheel tighter. His knuckles turned white and anger dulled his usually bright orbs.
"He is my friend, now." I noted with stubbornness and as earlier an animalistic unhappy grumble left Tobiah's lips making those damned sparks start in me.
