Chapter 11: Chapter 11.
Violet felt all eyes on her. Especially those of Cameron's parents.
- Listen, I'm really glad you care about me but I'm used to not wanting to worry people for nothing. Yes I know, this case is not nothing, she added when she saw her best friend about to reply, But I didn't find the time and the right time to tell you. I am very often immersed in my work and I do not often realize what is serious for me before I am pointed out. I must admit that there, yes I was scared, especially when he appeared in front of my door.
- Which means now that he knows where you live. Hence the interest of staying with me. Cameron replied.
- Yes but I'm not going to take up residence at your place. It's not appropriate on my part, you have the right to have your personal space. I feel embarrassed to stay at your place for so long. I can find another apartment and deme...
- Wait, what house are we talking about? Cameron's mansion, isn't it? Asked the father, cutting her off.
- Mine. Confirm Cam.
- Ah but I assure you that you don't bother him. He has at least five rooms in it while he lived alone. And his room is gigantic just like the rest of the estate. So believe me, of personal space, he has enough yes. Said the mother, smiling at her eldest son. And I'm pretty sure your presence doesn't bother him in the least, on the contrary, he's delighted. Am I not right son?
Violet and he stared at each other for a long time understanding the implication of this remark before she looked away, embarrassed by the situation. While he continued to stare at her as if she were the only person in the living room. His sister interrupted him in his contemplation by giving a small throat scrape.
- Since we are talking about boyfriends and boyfriends, I take this opportunity to announce that James' younger brother, the best friend of my dear big brother here, interests me a lot.
- So that's it, do you really like it? Violet asked, smiling at him
- Yes!!!
Since her faithful friend was the only one who knew about everything that was happening between them and in their lives, her family remained silent for a moment, before Cameron straightened up, finally displaying an expression. The father of the family frowned.
- His younger brother?! He asked, bewildered.
- She's talking about the young gendarme you last saw when she was 17. Cameron replied. And he knows it or you just set your sights on him?
- Oh this young boy...., but it's been a long time since we've seen him. What has become of it? Asked the mother.
- He has finished his military service and is now a lawyer. Like James. He followed his brother's voice.
- So, are you telling me that Maxime, James' brother is also in love with you and I only know now?
Cameron. Things happened during your absence so yes necessarily, you won't be aware of everything. Like for example the fact that you don't know that a man went out for a while with Vio.... She suddenly interrupted when she realized that she was about to break a promise they had made to each other.
- What? Asked the mother, not understanding her daughter's sudden silence.
- Uh I mean no man has managed to please me like him.
She felt her friend's gaze pierce her so she preferred not to turn around while keeping a convincing smile. But Cameron was not fooled and understood what she wanted to talk about. And he was obviously the only one who had understood since the rest of the family had resumed their smile.
- Excuse me but I will have to leave you, I have files to consult on my patients and prescriptions to send before I return to work so I will have to leave. Violet Announced.
- You can work here, right? Asked the mother disappointed to see her leave them so quickly.
- I didn't bring my computer and my belongings with me.
- Oh very good....so I hope to see you again very soon.
- With pleasure. We can even go out between women if you wish.
- Great! Come on, we won't hold you back anymore. Cameron, go with her.
She got up and leaned slightly towards her friend who seemed to want to say something to her.
- I'm sorry for earlier. Said Layla. But if you think Cameron is stupid for not understanding my sentence, it's because you're dreaming. I even think he's the only one who understood even before I finished my sentence.
- I know. I'm starting to get to know him more and more.
She glanced at Cameron who was waiting for her at the entrance door with a murderous look. She joins him to greet his whole family one last time and joins him in his car with apprehension. The journey took place in a terrifying silence so much so that she even prayed for him to speak first. Arriving at his house, he cut off the engine and kept his silence.
- The last time you were so silent, it was for something serious before you left. And you know I don't like it when you do this kind of silence. So go ahead I'm listening to you.
- Why do you think I have something to say?
His voice had taken on his deep and somewhat angry tone. Sign that she was right.
- Because I know you're the only one who understood what your sister meant before she suddenly shut up so go ahead I'm listening to you.
He finally turned to her. He stared at her in such a way that she struggled to breathe.
- It's rather you who should speak, right? Explain to me how a man other than me almost entered your life?
