Chapter 154 - One Hundred And Fifty-four

Townhouse.

That's what the house that they were staying in was called.

To be frank Alexis liked the layout of the house and maybe instead of the penthouse they could move in one like this.

Climbing up the stairs they moved to the guest bedroom provided to them, they walked in slow steps, no hurry shown by either.

Angelo was quiet because he wanted her to keep on thinking about what was going to come. She had completely scared his soul when she ran out of the car, into the world of traffic without caring for own safety. As he followed her and thought that it would be a matter of time when she would be hit by a car and be dead within seconds. So far this scare given to him, he had decided not to talk unless she wanted to and Finally, Alexis tried to break the silence. "I like the townhouse. How about we have this instead of the penthouse?"

His eyebrows shot up in surprise. He was not really expecting her to say that. That was completely out of the blue yet kept his face blank. "Sure. We could do that."

He open the door to the bedroom and let go in first. Closing the door he pulled out his tracks and went for a shower all while Alexis just stared at him.

She could only blink at how Angelo ignored her. What was she supposed to do anything about it? in her relationships Alexis had learnt something and that was when someone wanted to be alone and they should be left alone, at least that is what she wanted so she would give him that. The clothes had already been set by a maid in the closet. She took out her nightware and moved to the bathroom in the other guest room.

She was not going to wait around as he showered. She would be done with hers too.

As warm water hit her skin she wondered why instead of talking with her like usuall, he was straight out ignoring her.

She wore her clothes but skipped on moisturizing herself today. She didn't feel like any pampering.

When she came back he was still in the shower. So not thinking much about it she sat down on the bed and waited as she looked at the clock. The second hand ran around ticking away and her eyes followed it.

Growing bored quickly she got up and paced around a bit.

'Why was he not coming out?'

'Was he avoiding me?'

'But.. should he not just come and ask me why i did it? Maybe I would provide..Oh my gosh! Does he think I am crazy?!'

She stopped and ran her hands though her hair in anxiousness. Maybe she should go to a psychiatrist, if not for the trauma caused then for the anxiousness that she had lately started to feel.

Alexis could just not sit out any longer, so she opened the bathroom door which to her surprise was not locked and took a seat the countertop.

"Alexis?" Angelo's muffled voice came in as he peeped out of the glass wall which was fogged up. "Everything okay?" He frowned. 

"You have been in there for more than fifteen minutes." She informed him. "You never take more than ten." She stated this like it was obvious. 

Tilting his head a little, he gave her a noticeably surprised look. "I didn't know that you were timming my baths." He said with his wet eyebrows raised a little.

Embarrassed, she looked away for a moment. Angelo smirked at that, slid the door open and continued to shower. "I thought of pampering myself. With this.. scrub.." he read it off with a slight frown and she giggled a bit.

How very manly.

She, in nervousness, bit her lip. What was she supposed to say here? She was not sure herself if the man was alive, so what explaination was she to give to him?

So she decided, if anything was confirmed she would give him what he needed to know but for now, it would be nothing.

"You are still here." He pointed out as he shampooed his hair. "Got something to say?"

In a hurry she opened her mouth and said, "Yes. Um, do you have a therapist ready for me?" A cringe came on her face as she realised what she had said. Out of Everything, she had to day that. 

"I do. Why?"

She breathed in and out, she had made her bed and now she had to get in it. "I was thinking of seeing one..from tomorrow. You know the sooner, the better." Alexis wanted to slap herself. The way she said it seemed like she was not sure of any of this herself.  

"Yes, I am sure." His answer seemed like a taunt to her. He turned of the tap and stepped out, all drenching and dripping in his naked glory, turning her on. Yet, she kept her cool. 

He took the towel off the rack and wrapped it around himself. "I will have an appointment booked for tomorrow. Rest, you talk it out with her and decide." He suggested to which she agreed. 

"Anything else?" He asked as he took his toothbrush out of the holder along with the toothpaste. 

"Huh?" She looked up processing what he said and she understood as she said, "Nope." She stood up and ran out. 

Angelo shook his head a little and began to tend to his oral health. 

She is one little cheek thing, he mused. She came to talk about the road fiasco but instead she had conveniently changed the topic. That had him thinking, was she really depending on him the way he wanted her to? 

With how conveniently she had changed the topic she had completely, she was still thinking about how he would view her problems. Even after drilling into her mind that he was a greatful husband for not abandoning her, her own thinking stated so, she still thought of him as a stranger. 

Spiting the paste out, he rinsed his mouth and splashed water on his face. 

Standing straight he looked in the mirror.. He had to take the harsh approach this one.
