Besotted novel Chapter 36

There was an awkward silence as we stood in the elevator for my floor. No matter how much I told him to leave me alone, he didn't. He insisted on staying with me even after I was discharged from the hospital and drove me back to my apartment. I looked down to see him holding my bag, which he had brought to the hospital for me. He has been so good to me, took care of me that I was already questioning my sanity. I had no idea, how long I will be able to be mad at him.

"It's alright. I think you should go back now. You need to rest as well," I told him as I took my bag from him and he looked up at me. He has been skipping work and made sure to stay with me even though Matt was still there to protect me.

"I will go but-" he said as he opened the door to my apartment only to reveal Jenny smiling at me.

"Jenny?" I said confused as to why she was in my apartment.

"You have to keep her in your apartment. She will do the house chores and make your food," Caleb said and Jenny nodded while I heaved a sigh.

"Caleb, you don't need to. I am perfectly fine now. I can do eve-"

"Please Sang. Either cooperate with me or I am going to stay here," he told me in a no-nonsense tone and that made me curl up my fist.

"Fine. She is better than you sitting out of my door," I said as I entered my house and made my way straight into my bedroom closing the door shut, but I could hear him instructing Jenny to clean the house and my meds routine.

"Sang?" I heard him knocking on my door.

"I am going back now. If you need anything call me okay?" he said and I sat there fidgeting whether reply him or not. He is still the same. I understand that he wanted my safety and cared about me but he was still the same. He didn't hear what I had to say or what I wanted.

"Take care alright?" I heard him and then he was gone.

I plopped down on my bed thinking what life has for me. I met Caleb when I thought I would never find anyone I found him and fell in love with him. He said he loved me and we were together but then we had misunderstandings and we separated and even though now, I wish nothing to do with him, still he there to protect and keep an eye on me.

I don't know if I should be sad that he is still nagging me or be happy that he still cares for me.

Will you not give me another chance?

His words kept on running in my mind and I couldn't bear it any longer.

"Meal is ready," I heard jenny knocking on my door and I got up feeling stomach rumbling. Finally, I will be having a proper meal.

"Caleb I told you. I am fine and Jenny is taking care of me well and to top of that, you have assigned a bodyguard out of my building. What do you think you are doing?" I grew frustrated as I looked at the man down my building from my balcony.

I was told that he was here for me and instantly I called Caleb.

"I know you wouldn't like it. So, I have asked him to be outside your building. He will keep an eye on you from afar. He won't disturb you. Sang please let him do his work," Caleb said from the other end and I heard him typing something probably on his laptop. He was in his office.

"Look. Do you not understand? The officers are already investigating in my matter. It is not sure if I was supposed to be poisoned or not. They are investigating already. Why do you need to hire a bodyguard for me? Caleb do you not understand? Why are you wasting your money on me? That bodyguard would charge you a good amount. I still don't get it!" I snapped and heard him sigh.
