HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 21 – 30

Chapter 30

By : Kebby NG Media Services

MAX POV
I woke up feeling good, yesterday outing with Andrea had gone well, ever since I went to Nick grave and told him how I felt have felt relieved and it’s all thanks to Andrea suggestion.

I was thinking of first and how I will see her when I remembered that she was going on a date today.

That got me feeling angry, why the hell will Beatrice set up a date for that novice.

Just then an idea popped into my head and quickly I took my phone and log into Facebook.

She didn’t log out, I thought as I went through her messages

Just then a new message propped in and it was from that guy.

“Plan has change sweetie, I can’t come and get you cause am pretty busy but you can come to my house first and then I will take you to the cinema, I look forward to your answer”

As soon as I read it,I got so mad.

This guy is nothing but a pervert, I thought as I stared at the message

“Sorry but I won’t be able to make it today, some thing urgent came up” I texted him back and then switched off my phone.

Then I went in search of Andrea, the little room that had been given to them was empty.

I found myself remembering the night I had brought Andrea here and she had decided to empty her vomit over me.

I smiled as I remembered her uneasyness the next day.

I left the room and went to the kitchen and luckily I found her mom there.

“Oh young master, you must be looking for Andrea right?”She asked

“Yes, you see we have some important assignment to finish”I said

“Well she went to church,it’s just a morning mass, she will be back soon” she said

“Okay, once she arrives can you tell her that ,I have to speak to her”I said

“No problem young master, I will deliver your message”She said

“One more thing, can you just address me with my name, I feel rather odd to be called Young master”I said

If am to court her daughter in the nearest future,it won’t be proper if she keeps on calling me young master, I thought silently to myself

“But you are the boss son and I ……….”

“Please ma’am just accept call me Max, I will feel honoured if you do “I said again and she gave me a smile.

“Fine then Max ,as soon as Andrea arrives,I will let her know that you want to see her”she said

I thank her and left the kitchen, I went to my room and wait for Andrea to show up .

HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 21 – 30

*********************

It’s been three hours since I went in search of Andrea and still she is not here

What happen or has she find on her blind date? I thought as I put down my book and went downstairs.

I was just entering the kitchen when I saw her walking out of the back door.

“Andrea!”I called but she didn’t answer

I ran after her ,calling her name severally but she didn’t answer.

It wasn’t until I pulled her that I realised that she had her ear phone in her ears.

“What’s going on Max”she asked

“Where are you goin?”I asked

“Am heading for my blind date” she said with a smile

“Did he call you or send you a message”I asked

“What do you mean, we chatted yesterday and he said that he will come and pick me up”She replied

So she doesn’t know yet that he had asked her to go to his house instead and she doesn’t know that have given him a reply,I thought as I kept on starring at her

“But I told your Mom to tell you that you should come and see me”I said

“She did but you know that in this great mansion of yours, they are limits to where I can go to, I can’t just go to your room with out reason” she said

“You can come up to my room,no one will dare stop you”I said

“But I don’t think it’s right, oh Max, I will be late for my blind date, see you later” she said as she turned to leave

What can I do! What can I do to stop her, I thought as an answer pop into my head

I fell on the floor, crying out for her help and quickly she ran back to me.

“Are you okay? What’s wrong?”She kept on asking

“I think it’s my leg cramp”I said as I held my leg tightly

“What can we do”she asked looking so worried

“Just help me to my room, the only thing I can do right now is to get my leg to be layed down”I lied

“Fine, I will just get one or two if the workers to help you up “she said but Quickly I pulled her back

“Your help alone will do, I just have to hop on one foot” I said as I rest on her while I hopped with one foot until we got to my room.

ANDREA POV
“How are you doing right now?”I asked as i gave him a glass of water to drink

“A bit better”he replied as he layed on the bed with his leg propped on one of the pillows

“Really? Do you not feel like you need the doctor to come check you”I asked

“I will be fine as long as you are here to watch over me”he said softly

I kind of felt bad for Max, he is the only one who is at the mansion, his mother as always went off on her business trip, leaving him alone with the workers only..

Now more than ever he needs his mom but she is not here, I thought as I watched him silently

I looked at my watch and thought about the blind date, I won’t make it and as much as I would love to be there, I can’t leave Max on his own, I thought as I stared at him.

“Andrea are you still there”he called softly

Quickly I went back to him and sat on the empty chair.

“Are you sure that I should not call your doctor”I asked

“Yes I am, I will be fine soon, enough rest will get my leg back on track “he said

“Okay, but is it okay for me to stay in your room”I asked as I stared around

“It is, have told you that you can come and see me as much as you want”he said

“As much as i want, i doubt that will be right, I will just stick to being downstairs”I said

“Why dont you give me your phone”I asked suddenly and he stared at me with his eyes wide open

“What?”

“Your phone, I just want to tell the blind date guy that I can’t make it”I said

“Why can’t you make it?”he asked and i laughed gently

“Are you kidding me? It’s because am taking care of you”I said as I gently hit his leg

“Ahhhhh……..but you know you can leave, my leg is not a big deal”he said

“It is to me, I can’t leave you at a time like this, I have to take care of you, so just lay back and let yourself be pampered by Andrea and warning,this pampering will end as soon as the blind date ends, Mom doesn’t know that I didn’t go out”I said

It was quiet for a while and I looked back at him only to find him starring at me, looking all serious.

“What’s wrong?is some thing on my face?”I asked

“No,it’s just that you are the first person who put my needs first for the first time”he said

“What are you saying”I said as I tried to stand up,only to find that my hand have been held tightly by him

“You know, I never Grew up with my parents, Nick and I lived in an orphanage home, the workers there had always put the other children first over us, I had been the senior and so I had put Nick needs first over mine, even when we got here and started living here with our parents, our parents had put their work first over us, I had a selfish ex girlfriend who had put her needs over mine”

“So you see am practically putting every one needs over mine but you are the first! The first who had put my needs over hers and am really grateful for that”he said and before I could stop him.

He pulled me down on the b.ed and I found myself laying on the b.ed beside him

“Max I……..”

“Just stay still”he said as he pulled me close to him

“This is the only way I can sleep peacefully”he said softly and I laid In his arms trying to calm my raging heart.

What is he trying to do to me,I thought as I laid still in his arms for a long time.

It took a while for him to fall asleep and as soon as he did, I pulled out his hands slowly abs stared down at his sleeping face.

“You still don’t get why I put your needs over mine, that’s because I………..” I stopped what I was about to say when I heard his phone beeping.

I took it from the bed,so it’s noise wouldn’t wake him up.

I was about low the volume when I saw what the message entail of

I never sent this texts to him, I thought as I read what was said there.
