Chapter 41: Bitten fruit

ELLA'S POV

Floating on the pool using one of those pizza shaped floating device that Gideon buys for me since he is secretly afraid that I'll drown even in a 3ft pool.

I am absorbing all the vitamin D that I could get. For strong bones if I am correct or maybe not.

"Love."

I almost capsized when I heard Gideon's voice.

I slowly lift my head to see him glaring at me. Even if my eyesight is bad I know he is mad. He is wearing his 3 piece suit. Where is he going?

"Hi Gideon!" I smiled and wave at him sheepishly.

"How many hours are you lying in the middle of the pool?"

Shoot since 9am. He doesn't need to know that.

"Thirty minutes maybe?" I replied.

He just raised a brow.

I saw the butler hands him a fluffy robe and a towel and whisper something on his ear.

His face became more thunderous.

Uh oh.

I attempted to wade my hand through the water to get away from Gideon because I have a suspicion I am in trouble.

I thought I am successful in getting away. I really did since my arms are aching already but when I look back I am still in the same freaking place and Gideon is standing on my side still wearing his freaking suit.

"Aloha?"

Ignoring me he pull my floater back to the edge of the pool.

Cue the rant in

"Love do you know that it is 2pm already! I let you oversleep because I thought you are tired last night because we are busy in the office and you delivered so much documents yesterday and you only ate a few servings of our dinner. I bet you did not even apply sunscreen"

Yah. I only eat 2 servings of pasta with that yummy green sauce and 6 pieces of garlic bread.
Sunscreen what?
Wait today is not saturday?

"You did not even eat the chocolate muffin that they serve! And where is your eyeglasses? You refuse to do lasik surgery and I know that the doctor told you not to remove it."

"It is on the table. I don't want it to get wet."

We reach the edge of the pool and I sat up forgetting that I am above the water. The floater capsize and I am submerged in the water. My knees scrape the bottom of the pool.

I am ungracefully lift by Gideon who is panicking as if I'll get drown in like I said before 3 feet of water.

He placed me in one of the pool chair and inspect my whole body.

"Did the water entered your nose love?"

"No."

"Did you hit your head?" I shake my head in denial.

"Alfred I think she hit her head. She is in the shallow part of the pool after all when she fell. Call Ken and tell him it is an emergency."

For fudge sake! No need to call a doctor!

"I am okay Gideon! I just scrape my knee see!" I lift my left leg for emphasis.

"No need to disturb the doctor."
