After Ella left we were still trying to finish the hot chocolate made by Maria, it was really yum and refreshing but I was so full and on top of that she brought some bread rolls which were so tempting that I had two.
I was spoiled with choices and was thinking I will have to run ten kilometers the next day to burn the extra added calories.
Hudson was smiling and looking at me dotingly.
But I was in a dilemma now about Hudson and Ella's relationship. The way she spoke possessively, I wondered if they were involved but chose to keep it for later as there were more important things that needed to be clarified.
Hudson gulped down the hot chocolate in one go and looked at me, as I was still enjoying it leisurely. He got up and came and sat beside me and said. "The chocolate's all over your mouth, let me wipe it for you and he pressed himself on me and before I could react he took over my mouth and started kissing me thoroughly. I was surprised and tried to push him away as Maria would walk in any time but Hudson was not in a hurry, he simply started biting my lips sensually and shivers of pleasure ran down my body.
I opened my mouth and he thrust his tongue inside and explored it with ease, and his hands were moving all around me.
"Hudson your dad has finished his breakfast, you can go now." Maria shouted from the kitchen as she placed the tray on the table.
I was alert and pushed him away just in time, when Maria entered.
Hudson smiled at her and said. "I better go and look for dad. Callie ." And looked at him with anger in my voice as it was so embarrassing, my hair was all messy and I saw Maria smiling at us.
"You stay here and finish up your hot chocolate and I will come and get you when I and dad have set a few ground rules."
I merely nodded my head and Hudson left.
I looked around the living room and stared at a collection of photos on the table. There was one of Hudson in his baseball sportswear; a little blood on the face, grass stains on the knees, sweaty and very sexy. I shook my head and wondered what was I thinking.
I looked at some of the other pictures. It seemed that Hudson played a lot of sports.
I went ahead and looked at two other portraits and looked at the woman in the picture with awe and fell in love with her.
"That's Hudson 's mother." Maria whispered and I turned around to find that she was still there.
I focused my attention back on the photograph. She was so beautiful, no wonder Leo had never been able to forget her, even though he tried very hard.
Just as I was about to turn, a picture near the window caught my attention and I walked near it and placed my hand lovingly and let out a sigh.
It was a group photograph but the most important thing was that my mom was standing right beside Hudson 's mother and smiling broadly and they looked like sisters.
I had tears in my eyes they both looked so innocent and naïve.
Maria was standing beside me now and whispered. "Your mother and Mrs. Ford were best friends in college."
I looked at her with confusion thinking how did she know who I was.
Then took out my pad and wrote.
"How do you know that?"
Maria held my hand and made me sit on the sofa. I followed her and down.
"Miss Callie , your eyes are just like your mother, pure and innocent. Just like hers."
I blushed as this was the second time anyone had referred to me in that way. And I did have eyes like my mom.
"Did you know my parents?" I wrote and showed it to her.
"Yes, but I never met your dad, your mom would come once in a while to visit Mrs. Ford and she loved the masala buns I prepared for her. They had a very special bond but your mother would always come alone and never bring her family to visit her. But once, she had brought you and that's how I remember you. She was like a ray of sunshine in Hudson 's mother's life."
"In fact you and Hudson had met at that time and you really bonded well and played the whole day together." Maria smiled as if remembering the incident.
It seems, I was detained to meet Hudson and if mom and Hudson 's mother were friends, then there must be more pictures of them together. I made up my mind and decided to ask Hudson if he has can let me have it.
There was another group photo which caught my eyes, as it looked like a graduation photograph of Mrs. Ford and my mother and I could see many familiar faces as well and they looked so happy. One of them was my father, Hudson 's uncle Jackson and my godfather Logan, which reminded me that I should ask uncle Scott about him because if it wasn't for him the killer would have killed me too but I did not know the rest but somehow, I felt I had seen one of them somewhere. But I couldn't place it.
I took out my phone and took a photo, as it was my mother's memories.
I had made a collage of my mom's photograph in Budapest and it was hung in my room.
I had asked uncle Scott for more photographs of my mom and dad but he informed me that because of the short circuit at the villa after my parent's death the master bedroom was destroyed by the fire and nothing could be saved and it was renovated again, as per the instruction given my grandma.
I was deeply saddened by the news but I was very suspicious about the incident.
And now that I have been reminded again, I wanted to investigate the cause of the fire because it looked very mysterious.
*******************
The mobile phone was vibrating continuously while a man came out of the bathroom and saw it.
He swore and picked it up quickly.
"Yes Ale, what's up?" He said impatiently.
"Where are you H A? I have been calling you for ages." Ale said angrily.
"Well I was in the bathroom taking a shower, how do I know you were calling." He replied.
"Well, cut the crap, now listen to me carefully. Callie has gone to meet Leo Ford with Hudson Ford and I don' know what's going on. What should we do HA?" Ale said.
"What !" H A exclaimed. "Why are you so scared? Aren't they lovers they have probably gone to meet Leo to get his permission for their marriage and I have heard that Leo doesn't have a good relationship with his son. So, may he has called them to give his blessings. There can be many reasons and not what you think. But still, I will tell Zedd to keep an eye on them."
"H A it can be my misunderstanding but I still want to be sure that everything if fine." He said softly.
"Okay Ale, you need not worry, we have them followed, if anything suspicious happens we will send Callie and Hudson to their mothers. So chill and you better go and play rough, rather than sulking at home. I thought you are our game player but you are chickening out uselessly."
Ale laughed and said. "okay I am hanging up now, sorry for the trouble brother."
H A disconnected the call and typed a message then he sent it to Zedd.
On the other end Ale called up a hooker, who would come anytime to meet him at their usual place and changed his clothes to a more hideous one and walked to the backside gate where a shabby car was parked. It loked very old and rusted but the glass was dark and so no one could see the person driving the car.
He sat in his car and put on his hat which shielded his face and put his phone on airplane mode and drove out into the busy street.
