HIS RUDE CHEF: Chapter 1 – 10
CHAPTER 10
BY NAOMI CINDY. B
*************
“You aren’t deaf, he just told you to go kneel down in the rain” Whitney said
” I knew it, he’s always a ba$tard” Darien said silently
Valerie looked up at Dwayne, he’s still as expressionless as before..
She walked grudgingly out of the class, out of the hallway , down the stairs into the junior block
She eventually left the building and went to the lawn inside the rain
She knelt down just like Dwayne asked..
The whole students jeered and booed
Dwayne watched from the rails
She kept kneeling and her uniform got wet within seconds
She started shaking lightly
Lillian came out of Mr Sanjay office and saw everyone by the rails, wondering what they’re all looking at, she looked down in curiosity and is shocked to see Valerie kneeling in the rain
She rushed downstairs and went out into the rain too
She pulled her up
“Are you foolish?, If he tells you to kneel in the rain, must you do it? ” She said angrily
” Mr Jay told him to punish him and this is the punishment he gave” Valerie said slowly, still shaking
Lillian took her out of the rain and went back upstairs with her
Whitney blocked their way
“Dwayne told her to kneel and you dare make her stand?” She said
” The last time I checked, your name is Whitney, not Dwayne so excuse us” Lillian said and walked out on her..
Dwayne is gone already
Lillian took her to the locker room and they both changed to their sports wears
“Dwayne is very brilliant, he’s good In every subject especially physics, he’s Mr Jay’s best student so you don’t expect less, but anytime that happens again, you don’t have to obey him” Lillian said
.
” I really want to believe that but…
“But what?, That’s the only way to survive in here” Lillian said
” I’ll try” she replied
” Better” Lillian said as they walked out of the locker room back into the class
Dwayne is back in class by now
Lillian went straight to his table
“What do you think you just did” she said
He refused to talk
” I’m talking to you! ” Lillian shouted again
“If it’s because of the new retarded girl, stop fussing, it’s giving me headache” he said, standing up and leaving the class
He walked past Valerie and gave her mean glances before leaving the class completely
Lillian came back to her and they sat together
“Good to see you’re not shaking anymore” she said
“Yeah, I feel better” Valerie replied
” Don’t tell me you’re still crushing on him after this too” Lillian said
” I dunno” Valerie replied

AR group of companies**
Philip scanned the cleaners unit for anyone named Susan, maybe just to know her
“Who’s Susan?” He asked the two women cleaning a washroom
“That’s me sir” the beautiful one said
She has got a beautiful mother too
” Come with me ma’am” he said
She left her mop stick and followed him out
“You’re the mother of my chef ” he said
“Oh..yes, I’m Melanie’s mum” she replied
“Never knew you work here” he said
“I’ve been working here for sometime now” she replied
“I was told, hope it isn’t too stressful?” He asked
“No sir, I’m gud” she replied
“just came to check on you ma’am, stay well and take care” he said before leaving
Susan smiled
” Wow he has a kind side, all I’ve seen is his frown but I saw him talk like a passionate human for the first time” she said silently..
Philip got back to his office and fell on his chair, damn tired!
Everyday is hectic for him but he can’t help it
His mind went to her again
He smiled when he remembered the scene of how she was laughing and playing with Robin
It somehow made him smile longer than he imagined
He didn’t even know when Kat entered
“Boss” she called for the third time
“Yes?” He replied,. Coming back to his senses
“You look happy” she said
“Any problem with that?” He said
“No sir …I .. actually have a request” she said
” A request?” he said
” Yes sir…. actually Wednesday is my birthday party in my house, I’d be honored if you can come” she said
” A birthday party?’ she said
“Yes sir” she replied
“I can’t leave Robin at night and attend a party, you know that more than anyone” he replied
” Sir…
“Not accepted, anything else?” He said
” No sir” she replied slowly before leaving
She stood by his door and inhaled hard
“Is there really no way to get him?” She thought…
************
Susan got home and met Valerie shaking on her bed
She caught the flu real bad
“Oh God!” She lamented, grabbing the medicine container
She got her flu killers and some sedatives
She gulped it down with water and slept off after some minutes
“Don’t get sick please” she said, standing up
Then she sighted her school uniform in the laundry basket, it’s wet
She took it out to the bathroom
“Did she get into the rain?, But she went to school with an umbrella” she thought as she washed it..
Melanie’s call rang on her phone
She quickly wiped her palm with a towel before picking it
“Daughter”
“Mum how’re you doing?”
“Just fine, what about you?”
” I’m gud, Valerie’s number is off” she replied
” She’s down with flu, I’ve given her medication though, she’ll be fine” Susan replied
” Tell her to be fine for me please, you both should eat well and always sleep tight” Melanie said
” Alright baby, your boss talked to me today”
” Mr Albert?, Why?”
” Ion know, he told me to be fine and take care” Susan replied
” That’s… weird” Melanie said
“I know right….but it’s fine, have a good night rest” Susan said
” Much love mummy” she replied and hung up
” Your mum?” Robin asked beside her
” Yeah” she replied simply..
” Her voice is cute, is she cute like you?” He asked
“Of course” she replied
He sat on her laps and closed his eyes
“Peck me” he said
“No” she replied
His eyes flew open
“Now why,” he said
“I need a bribe” she replied
” What?”
” That corner room that’s always locked, what’s inside?” She asked
” Chef chef, so you’re nosy” he said
” Maybe” she replied
“It’s dad’s practice room, he practices his songs in there but since he stopped singing, he locked it up, he made the key into a necklace and it’s on his neck” he replied
” Oh, now I get it” she replied
” Now peck me” he said
She pecked his cheeks severally
” It should be red by now, I’m blushing” he said, holding his cheeks
Melanie laughed
“thanks for the pancakes, It’s the best I’ve ever eaten” he said
“It’s nothing, I can fry it for you tomorrow too” she replied
” Deal?” He said
” Deal” she replied
They gave each other an high five
Philip’s car entered the compound
Robin jumped down from her laps and rushed out
Melanie went with him
He jumped on his dad and he carried him as usual
He kssed his forehead
“Hey you’re too happy ” Philip said
“I’m just happy, chef has been telling me stories, she made me laugh and she fried legendary pancakes for me” he said
Philip looked at Melanie who’s still smiling
” What’s legendary pancakes again” he said
“Maybe he named it that cos he enjoyed it” Melanie replied
” You’re a thief, you enjoyed it all without me” he said
“Are you jealous?” Robin said
” A lot” Philip replied
Robin and Melanie Started laughing hard as they entered
“Dinner is spaghetti and…
” I want pancakes” Philip interrupted
” Sir?”
” The legendary pancakes, I wanna taste them too, I’ll eat the spaghetti but make the pancakes, I’m planning to watch a movie, it’ll be in place of popcorn” he said
” Sure sir” she replied and entered the kitchen
” So you can be this jealous” Robin said
“Of course, your description alone is making my mouth water for it” Philip replied sincerely, climbing upstairs to his room
He had a shower and changed into a yellow shirt and black shorts
He came out of his room and his eyes caught his practice room
He touched the key on his chest
He sighed
“I’m still in love with singing, but I don’t know where to start from” he said before going downstairs
The smell of pancakes can be perceived in the air
He sat in the dinning room and ate his dinner of spaghetti squash and tender beef
He enjoyed it a lot cos he finished it all
He entered the kitchen afterwards but he stood by the door
Robin is inside the kitchen with Melanie, stealing her pancakes one by one without Melanie’s knowledge
Philip laughed quietly
Robin saw him and placed his finger on his lips , meaning he shouldn’t tell
He ate the cake silently and went for another one
Philip can’t help but laugh out loud , Melanie looked back and saw what’s going on
“You’re stealing the pancakes!” She said surprisingly
Robin stopped moving like a thief who got caught with a lot of pancakes in his mouth, making his cheeks so big
“I’m sorry I made you get caught” Philip said
“I’ll have my revenge” Robin said in a muffled tone, swallowing the cake in his mouth
He ran after Philip and Philip ran out of the kitchen
Melanie laughed loudly
They’re both something else
She put off the gas cooker and put down the remaining oil
She fried a lot but it’s worth it, she took the bowl of pancakes and is heading out of the kitchen when Philip rushed back into the kitchen and ran into her in the process
She would have fell but he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer in an indirect hug as her chest slammed on his chest
His eyes widened and hers are not exceptional
He felt something he can’t explain that instant
She quickly freed herself from his grip before her phobia can take over her, she put the plate of pancakes on his hand, avoiding eyes contact
She rushed out of the kitchen and went upstairs, running past Robin in the living room
“Chef” he called
“Gnight Rob” she replied hurriedly without looking back
The slamming of her door can be heard upstairs as she entered her room
Philip came back from the kitchen
“What’s up with chef?” Robin asked
“Nothing” Philip replied slowly, touching his chest
