MY HANDSOME TARZAN
#11
"I'm rich?" jared laughed softly.
Thea nodded.
"Is it because you saw my car? This is my employer's car" said Jared.
Thea shakes.
"Then?"
Then Thea approached Jared and slightly smelled his neck without touching Jared's neck.
"What's wrong?" ask Jared.
"Chanel Platinum Egoiste's. That's the brand of perfume you wear. And it's very expensive, Honey," Thea said.
Jared laughed softly. "River gave me," answered Jared.
"Oh yeah? How kind of a deal does your employer give you expensive perfume, Mr Kingsford?" said Thea who out of nowhere knows Jared's surname.
"Are you a former police intel?" ask Jared.
"In your employer's house there was a suitcase bearing the name of River Kingsford and in your necklace there was the name of Jared Kingsford, Honey. There's no need to be intel to know that" Thea explained.
"Yes, I'm the outcast son of the Kingsford family. And they threw me into the woods. It's sad, isn't it?" jared said casually.
"Your eyes are very sharp, apparently" continued Jared.
"I'm a writer and a psychologist. I went to college in that department" replied Thea.
Jared did not comment again and preferred to focus on driving again.
Two hours later, they arrived at their destination. The place where Jared spent more time there.
Thea was quite amazed to see the house she came to. Unlike in his shadow which is all wood and mossy.
The house seen in front of it looks like a modern house with a minimalist model painted in gray and black.
Although not large, but the house looks quite luxurious.
"This is your house?" ask Thea.
Jared just put his shoulder down. Then they put in the stuff Thea bought earlier.
"Where's my room?" ask Thea.
"There's no room here. I'm the only one who lives here" Jared replied.
"So?"
"You can sleep on the couch" Thea said.
"Too narrow for me. My height is almost 200 cm and sleeping on the couch is pretty torturing to me" Jared said.
"Yes, you are a giant" Thea replied.
Jared just laughed softly and headed for the kitchen. Thea followed Jared.
"The contents of your fridge are quite complete" Thea said as Jared picked up a drink in his fridge.
"There's an officer filling it" said Jared, sitting in the kitchen bar and drinking his drink.
"Can you cook?" ask Jared.
Thea nodded.
"Really?" jared said in disbelief.
"My mom was pretty chatty about that. And I used to be in the kitchen when I was with my parents" replied Thea, who sat in the bar stool with Jared.
Jared tied his hair and they stared at each other.
"Why don't you just cut your hair if it bothers you?" ask Thea.
Jared smiled as he responded without answering.
Thea propped up her chin while looking towards Jared's blue eyes.
"Why see me like that?" ask Jared.
"I'm watching you" Thea replied with a beautiful smile.
"For what?"
"I like to observe a person's personality and I can pour it into my writing later" Thea replied.
Jared then put his bottle on the table. Then he headed for the couch. Thea only saw her movements without following her.
Jared then sat down on the sofa and looked towards Thea. "Come here, we haven't finished my payment yet" Jared said, patting his thigh.
Thea laughed a little. "Are you serious?"
"Of course, Baby. You followed me all the way here, so I'll take advantage of it" Jared smiled.
"You must be a good businessman. You took advantage of everything you could use" Thea said to Jared.
