BABYSITTING HIS STUBBORN KIDS: CHAPTER 31 – 40
? Chapter 38 ?
Writer’s POV
Late into the night, Noel tip toed out of his room when he felt it sure within him that everyone was asleep due to the cold silence.
He placed light feet’s on the floor as he made his way through the small passage way leading to his dad’s room.
His plan is to sneak into his dad’s room while his asleep, Take out his phone from the drawer and return back to his room to use it for it’s meant purpose.
After usage, he’ll bring it back and place it exactly like he had taken it, then he can go back to his room and have a goodnight rest with job well done.
He smiled brilliantly at himself as he strategized his moves. There seems to be no noise so it’s sure no one is awake.
Getting closer to his dad’s room, he began hearing faint noises.
Surely that noise clearly isn’t from his dad’s room, rather it was from a room after his dad’s room. A room which happened to be his dad’s home office.
Where he sometimes stay up all night to trash out some business files.
~ that room is dad’s privacy ~
Could it mean dad’s awake in his office? And talking with who precisely,? Alicia? His co-worker?
He tipped closer and peeped through a tiny hole from the door.
There he saw his dad and Alicia working on some files. He shrugged his shoulders. At Least, this will buy him some time.
But. What if his dad is in there with his phone beside him?
He asked himself.
Well he certainly doesn’t think so. When it comes to work or business, his dad doesn’t allow distractions like phone in order to avoid unnecessary calls.
With that settled , he took quick silent steps backwards into his dad’s room.
He walked over to the bed and switched on the lampstand. Beside the lamp laid the phone.
He smiled in satisfaction switching off the light as he quietly walked out.
About taking more steps, he paused all of a sudden as his dad’s voice sounded hard and strict from the office room.
The tone of the voices he was hearing now was quite different from what he met earlier…
“Can we just focus in one thing here Alicia??”
Noel’s heart summersaulted the moment he heard his dad’s voice again.
Loud and clear.. he almost picked to his heels thinking he has been caught.
Then he realized it is not about him.
“Stop acting like a child David..” another voice from Alicia.
What is going on??
From the sound of their voices, it’s obvious they are in some argument.
He had the urge to just walk out and mind his business.. but his inquisiveness wouldn’t just let it that way.
He tipped closer to the door and peered through a small hole.
The two were no longer seated. rather, they stood facing each other.
“David…” She ran her hands on David clothed chest.
“You know what I want. Why act ignorant? ..” she added.
David pulled her hand from him and stated clearly to her face.
” Let’s focus on why you’re here… We have work to do. Stop fl!rting around. You won’t get what you want ” he released his grip from her.
Frustration could clearly be seen on Alicia’s face.
“Why play hard to get David? When you know how I feel about you.
Why push me away? Is it a crime to feel this way? What do you have me do now?”
“Don’t you see it Alicia? I’m no longer the single and searching dad you once knew… My heart is taken already” he spilled out a hard truth to her face.
“No longer the single and searching? Your heart is taken already? David what do you mean? What are you talking about,?”
Her voice was suddenly breaking bit by bit.. panic written all over her face. She doesn’t want to believe the bitter truth attached to what he just said.
“Alicia, let’s just work on the contract. The deadline is almost near.
I don’t want us to get on manager’s bad side. ” He shrugged finally. Sitting back on his seat.
Noel breathe heavily. Everything is clear now to him.
The reason Alicia is always around his dad is because she likes him.
She’s trying to flirt with him and to think his dad just said his heart is taken already.
That literally confirms his thoughts.
Rosiana…
It must be Ana. He feels deeply excited about this news. Ana has to come back before Alicia desperately achieves her aim in their house.
To make his mission any less risky, he tiptoed back to his dad’s room, unlocked his phone and searched for Ana in the contact log.
The “Ana” that came as the result had “??” emoticon attached to it.
He smiled sheepishly at no one in particular. He was right after all.
These two have something for each other. He needed nothing else to convince him further that he’s staring down at the right number.
Without hesitation, he dialed it.. it rang out severally but got no answer. He tried it again and Same thing happened. Is she asleep already?
It’s barely past eleven and to him, it’s too early to be asleep.
He tried the number three more times and still no answer.
What should he do now? He asked himself worriedly.
•••••••••••••••••
Rosiana saw the incoming calls but bothered not to pick up. It’s David calling and she’s not in a good mood to talk to him.
She can’t bring herself to. Not after getting to know Alicia is at his place right now. She’s mad and hurt same time..
She never expected David to allow such a thing happen especially in her absence. What if something goes wrong?
It’s crystal obvious that Alicia is madly head over heels for her man.
And ladies in love are tend to do things out of desperation. What if something she doesn’t want to imagine happens?
When she noticed he wouldn’t stop calling her line, she silenced the phone without a second thought and placed it into the bed’s drawer.
She doesn’t need something that’ll give stress tonight.
She just want to have a goodnight rest. With that, she shut her eyes for sleep.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
When Noel saw she wasn’t picking any of the calls, he decided to leave a text message instead.
—- ? Rosiana you need to come back to the Mashion. Alicia is around and all over my dad.
We don’t want any more of it. I and my sisters have tried to frustrate her out but she’s just so daft and relentless.
Please come back soon and stop this. With you around, she’ll know her limits.
We are counting on you..
Pls:: Don’t text back!
—- NOEL.
After sending the text, he deleted it from the phone alongside the calls.. so his dad won’t notice anything or get suspicious.
He placed the phone like he had met it and switched off the lampstand.
With slow and light steps, he tipped back to his room, climbed on his bed and shut his eyes like nothing just happened.
He hopes this works out.
