HER ADVERSITY: Chapter 51 – 60
By Obianke Prosper
Chapter Fifty Nine
GRACE POV
Oh God! Oh God!
That was what I have been screaming in my mind ever since I walked away from Dylan. I touched my lips, it was wet and a bit swollen.
I remember the kss. I hate to say this but I enjoyed it, every bit of it. If this was how ksses was then I would like to be kssed everyday.
I chuckled at the thought and touched my lips again, remembering how our tongues hugged each other, how we exchanged salivas.
I would have felt disgusted at the thought of the saliva exchange thing but it was wonderful, it felt like heaven. Oh lord! I felt how he tasted like.
Without knowing, I licked my lips again and the same feeling aroused, the feeling for more. I wanted him, really.
Face palming myself, I sighed heavily and hugged the pillow, closing my mind so as to push off the memory of what happened earlier but it came back, hunting me.
Geez! He stole my first kss. That was wrong. I wanted to give my lips to my husband or boyfriend but I and Dylan aren’t in a relationship. We are just classmates.
Gosh! This is so frustrating.
And he… He touched my bum and b©©bs. Oh goodness! How could I let him do that? How am I going to face him now? This is one hell of an embarrassment.
I sighed.
I shouldn’t have let that happen, it was all my fault. I was the first to kss him but I couldn’t pulled away cause well… He reciprocated and I loved the way he’d kss me.
God! Am I being stupid or maybe too desirous?… Or I should have probably pulled away when he began kssing me.
Oh! Am so confused right now..
Sighing again, I laid on the bed with my eyes fully opened as thoughts crossed my mind.
HER ADVERSITY: Chapter 51 – 60
I have being in Dylan’s room for over three hours now. Due to the wall clock in the room, I realized the time was 1pm so it was still afternoon.
All these while in his room, I hoped he wouldn’t come in and gladly he didn’t but I was forced to come out when my stomach rumbled for the sixteenth or seventh time. I was hungry and thirsty.
I walked to the kitchen and grabbed the snacks I saw there, it was three pies and a fruit juice. I eat it all and smiled when my stomach gave me some peace.
I walked to the living room, wondering where Dylan was. He wasn’t in the living room, the dining room, the kitchen or even the bedroom, that means he wasn’t in the house.
I took the remote control from the round table in the living room but I stopped halfway when I saw a folded piece of paper on the table.
I unfolded it and read the content written on it. It wasn’t lengthy but I’d felt happy that he wrote it.
**Am not in the house, I left but someone will come drive you home**
It shows how caring he was to inform me of his absence and also bringing someone to drive me home was another thing to be happy about but I don’t know why I was unhappy about his absence and the fact that someone would drive me home instead of him. It could be because of the kiss… Yeah because of the kiss.
Before I could keep the paper back on the table, I heard a horn blew outside and I went to Dylan’s room, took my clothes and kept it in a poly bag before going to the car.
A man wearing a Tee shirt and jeans pant was leaning on the car. He held a frown on his face as he kept his glance on me. He doesn’t look anyway friendly but I shrugged that aside and went to him.
“Grace?”.His voice was coolly and cold. I would have said he wasn’t happy picking me up if he wasn’t having an expressionless face on.
“Yes, am Gr….”.
“Saying yes is enough. Don’t waste your saliva”.He opened the front door and got into the driver seat. That was a sign for me to go in and I did, going into the back seat.
He drove the car on the streets and not knowing what to say or think, I picked my fingers feeling bored.
“You are pretty”.He said suddenly, a smirk on his lips.
I didn’t know if he was talking to me but since they wasn’t anybody else in the car, I realized he was referring to me.
“Thank you”.I replied after seconds of silence, feeling quite uncomfortable with the ‘pretty’ talk.
“I’d wonder what master was doing with a girl since he was not into girls and all that but now, I think I have a little tiny idea why. It is because you are too pretty to resist”.
Okay, I totally felt uncomfortable now.
“Dylan was not doing anything with me, I was in his house due to some reasons but am going back to my home again”.My voice was calm.
I felt I was lying cause I and Dylan did something in the house, we kissed and it would be something I wouldn’t forget anytime soon.
“Yeah, I knew it. Master would never have anything to do with a girl”.He smiled but my eyebrows rose when I realized how he addressed Dylan. Master. He have called Dylan that twice but I didn’t ask him why the first time cause I thought it was a slip of the tongue but I guess I was wrong.
“Why are you calling Dylan, master?”.I felt curious and also confused.
“Forget about it. You wouldn’t understand”.He said and I frowned.
Of course I didn’t understand anything. First, the reason why I was kidnapped is still unknown to me. Secondly, the reason why my kidnapper was asking about Dylan is still unknown to me. Thirdly, how and why Dylan saved me is still unknown to me. Fourthly, why Dylan had a gun is still unknown to me. Like seriously… I don’t understand a thing and nobody seems ready to explain to me, not even this man here driving me home.

Finally, the car drove to a halt in front of my house. I had given him the directions to locate the house and thankfully we are here.
“Thank you”.I said as I highlighted from the car but he didn’t reply, he just reversed and drove away.
I stared at the gate for sometime before going to it, I knocked and Mr Liam, the gatekeeper came looking surprised.
“Grace?”.He asked.
“Please open the gate”.My voice was low.
“Oh! Yes, you should come in. Everyone is worried sick”.He opened the gate and I stepped in with a smile. I missed home.
I walked to the living room and the first person I saw was mum sitting on a sofa with her head bowed to the floor. Her hair was all over her face, sticking to her skin due to the sweats she had.
“Mum?”.I called and her head shot up. Her eyes wide with shock.
“Grace? Is this seriously you?”.Her mouth flew open and I let out a smile, nodding as I took more steps to her.
“Yes, is me mum. Am back….”.
“Oh!”.She embraced me, sobbing quietly while I caressed her hair. “We were so worried Grace, so worried”.
“It’s okay Mum, am fine”.I pulled away from the hug and held her hands. “Am sorry for making you all worried”.
“No, no, don’t apologize”.She cleaned her tears and made a sigh. “Where have you been, Grace? You disappeared from school without a trace. We were so worried. Your dad reported you missing at a police station this morning and the polices have been searching for you”.
“Well, you guys will have to report me found and close the case”.I said and her eyes suddenly ran down to my cheeks.
“Grace”.She called, her eyes glancing at my cheeks. “What happened to your cheeks? It’s all red and swollen. It also have some bruises”.
“Am fin…”.
“You were slapped, right? I can see a fading handprint on both sides of your cheeks”.
“Mum, I wasn’t slapped. I just fell and probably sustained the print which looks like a handprint”.
“Grace”.I noticed her pale face. “I know you’re lying but it’s okay, I wouldn’t pressurize you further if you don’t wanna talk about it but at least tell me where you have been. Grace, tell me who abducted you. Your father and I will make sure the culprit is punished justly in jail”.
I really wanted to tell her the truth but that would cause me to mention Dylan which wouldn’t be good. She will definitely ask questions which I don’t have answers to and I don’t wanna go through that headache.
“Mum, where is Dave?”.I tried to change the topic.
“Dave is in his room, he have been restless ever since”.I wanted to walk away but she stopped me. “Grace, I asked you something”.
“Am tired Mum, I need some rests and probably some foods to eat to regain my lost strength but right now, talking wouldn’t do me any good neither will you. Remember you have a baby inside you and you don’t have to stress yourself because of me. Am perfectly fine but I will answer your questions at the right time, when you are calm, not now. So, see you later Mum. I have to go take my medications”.I sighed deeply and left to my room, ignoring the curious and confused look on her face.
I have to keep that as a secret first.
