“You don’t have to be shy in front of me sweetheart, you don’t have to” he said
She kept her face down still
” Look at me” he said
She slowly looked up and their eyes met, she wants to look away again but he quickly held her face
“I love you” he said slowly, saying every word with a smile
He kept staring at her after saying that and she found herself smiling big
“Yeah, that’s what I want to see… I’ll be right back, I need to get my laptop and phone downstairs” he said and left the room
She felt her chest, it still hasn’t stopped beating fast
She touched her lips, it swelled a little bit as a result of the intense kss
“He loves me” she said silently, feeling too cherished, too treasured and loved, to her .. she doesn’t deserve it but this man is giving it
Maybe she deserves it, or maybe she’s lucky
She quickly got up from the bed and changed into her nightie in his closet, yeah, she has some of her clothes in his closet
After changing, she went back to the b.ed and sat back
Philip entered after about a minute, he still has a big smile on his handsome face
He dropped his laptop and tablet on the table
He joined her on the be.d and pecked her
“I’m thinking of changing my phone password, I already changed my tablet and laptop password” he said
” To what? ” She asked, picking on her nails in fidgety
He held her hand when he noticed
“Don’t be scared Melanie, please” he said
She nodded
“I’ll try” she said
“I changed it to the combination of your name and Robin’s name” he replied
” Melbin? ” She said
” Yeah,… So I’m thinking of changing the password of my phone to the combination of our names” he said
Her cheeks turned red as a result of blushing
” I saw that” he said
She quickly covered her cheeks with her hands
He smiled at the cuteness before changing the password
“Philanie” he said
“Cute” she said, finally taking her hands off her cheeks
” Yeah it is, the photoshoot… You’re going with us so I’ll wait till you give me an answer before we go for it, it’ll be a family shoot” he said
” Oh” she replied, picking on her nails again
“Is that your habit when you’re nervous? ” He asked
She looked up at him
” Huh?, What?”
“Picking on your nails” he said
“No.. it started just tonight” she replied
He dropped her phone on the stand and pulled her to himself before laying on the bed with her
He kept patting her back gently and sang gently…
? My dearest love
? So far our days are full of ksses
? And crazy romance I wish would never end
?Then the nights should be for a blissful rest
? Though I still want more
? Cos I can’t get enough of you
? But I want to watch you sleep like a baby
? So sleep tight and wake up to see my face first tommorow
She’s already sleeping when he finished singing the love lullaby
He lay her on her side of the bed and covered her well before starting to stare at her
She’s …. Perfect
She later snaked her arm around him in her sleeping position
He smiled and rest his head on the pillow before pulling her closer too…
“Goodnight sweetheart” he said slowly, closing his eyes…

New York**
“Why will our rooms face each other?” Dwayne asked the attendant who took them to where they’ll be lodging at
It’s a big suit that’s clean and condusive too with many rooms but they were given the rooms that are facing each other
“The other rooms aren’t as big as this two, that’s why we specially picked the two” the attendant replied…
Dwayne looked at Valerie who’s still snapping pictures around the house before trying to enter his room
“Master Dwayne….you should freshen up and come out for dinner thirty minutes from now* the man said
Valerie came to join them
“I guess this is my own room” she said, holding the knob to the second room
“Miss Valerie, I think you should take a shower too and come downstairs for dinner thirty minutes from now” the man said
” What’s for dinner?” They both asked at a time
“Steak and..
” I’m not interested in f*cking steak, get me noodles or snacks or better still…bread and butter” he replied before going inside his room
” Don’t mind his uptight attitude sir, but please get him what he wants, I’ll take the steak” Valerie said
” Alright miss” the man replied and left
Valerie entered her room and fell on the big bed
It’s big!, The bed itself is big and just clean
Then it smells nice
She Inhaled the scent hard before standing up
She quickly arranged her small bag in the closet before going into the bathroom to take a shower and gosh!
She has only seen expensive things like this in movies, the big bathtub, soaps and body treatments
But she only needs a shower so she went under the shower and turn it on
Even the water feels nice
She finished taking a shower and went back to the room
She dried herself with a towel and an hairdryer is available for drying her hair
She put on a new nightie she got cos of this trip, it’s somehow short but she got it for the cuteness though, it has a teddy bear cap and she put it on before going out, Dwayne is coming out of his room just that time too
His eyes travelled to her nightie first, it reached her middle thighs and stopped there
He closed his eyes and inhaled hard
“That’s….short” he said before opening his eyes
“They you should shut your eyes” she replied with a scowl.
“I wish I can do that….. and that cap, I think it’s…babyish” he said and started walking out, she followed beside him
“Babyish?, That’s the main reason why I got it so scratch your lectures” she replied and stick out her tongue
He smiled secretly…
They got to the dinning room which Is also very big with many chairs and a long table
They took their seats and while Dwayne ate his noodles, Valerie ate steaks
“Hey Dwayne, you know it’s really nice that you have no bruise on your face right now” she said
” Talking while eating” he said, rolling eyes
” You know how to roll eyes too?” She said
” So far I have eyes” he replied, doing it again
She started laughing
” I won’t say sorry if you choke” he said
“But like seriously it’s funny when you roll your eyes” she said, still laughing
” Retarded” he said
” Grumpy Bear” she replied
He rolled eyes again and she laughed again but this time she didn’t go Scot free, she choked on her food and started coughing incoherently
Dwayne pretended like he didn’t see her for a while before finally offering water
She took it and gulped it down before calming down
“Thanks” she said, breathing hard
” Easy next time, eating while talking is not for you” he said
She kept looking at him as he ate without looking you
She finally smiled
Though he acts like he’s hard hearted and cold, but deep inside him…he’s actually kind..
They finished eating and went to the equally big study for their revision since tommorow is the competition
“I hate reading” he said as they took their seats
“Then how come you’re brilliant” she said
“Maybe I’m just destined to be brilliant” he replied
” That’s.. strange, but you can’t escape it tonight, you must revise with me, it’s really good to revise, ok?” She said
He curved his lips as usual
“nagging again” he said, picking a book and a pen
She smiled and sat in front of him
They started the revision and Valerie can’t believe her eyes
Yes she read madly for the competition but this crazy guy didn’t read, yet he’s teaching her new things
That really got her wondering what kind of human he is
He’s too different and Unique in his own way..that made her crush for him grow deeper a lot…
***********
“Morning sweetheart” Philip said Immediately Melanie opened her eyes this morning
“Same here Phil” she replied, sitting up
“Phil,…..I just love the sound of that” he replied and kssed her lightly
Her eyes widened
” It’s Saturday!, And my resting period is over… I’ll cook something delicious today, and you know what?, Robin’s classmates are coming over for dinner” she said
” Really?, That’s cool” Philip replied as they both got down from the b.ed
They went to Robin’s room and met him still on the bed but a look at him, Philip knows he’s awake already
“Stop pretending” Philip said
Robin opened his eyes and blinked like a doll before standing on his bed
“Morning dad, morning honey.. today is Saturday and I can’t wait for my classmates to come for dinner in the evening…dad let’s shift the photoshoot to.. maybe next week Saturday cos throughout today, I’m gonna be eating honey’s food” he said
” Yeah, I was thinking of that too” Philip replied and carried him
” Mr kid” he said
” I’m not a kid Mr Albert” Robin replied with a pout
They entered the bathroom and brushed
The cleaners came for cleaning early that morning already
They went downstairs together and Melanie wasted no time In entering the kitchen to cook something delicious
“Bye bye to bread and jam, bye to restaurant foods, bye to daddy’s tasteless food” Robin said
Philip laughed and pulled his cheeks
*Spoilt brat!”
” Yeah, that’s me” he replied
Philip kissed his cheeks and tickled him, making him laugh badly
“You know Daddy loves you right?” He said
“Yeah and you know Robin loves you more but Robin needs a mother….” He said
” I understand, and I’ll surprise you”
“Really dad?”
“Trust me” he replied and winked
Robin winked back and they both stuck hands
Robin later went back upstairs to pick something
Philip entered the kitchen and tiptoed to Melanie who’s busy cooking
He hugged her from behind
“Hey….I’m cooking” she said, facing him
“Just a kss please” he said with a pout
She smiled and closed her eyes
He kssed her and just a kss turned to a deep kss
“Uhm” she moaned gently
“Dad!” Robin called from the living room
He broke the kss and rushed out
Melanie smiled and licked her lips before concentrating back on the cooking…
?????
Evening**
About twelve students from Robin’s class are already in the house for dinner
Robin can’t be more happy, he can be seen chatting with one one kid or the other especially Michelle
They later sat round the big table for dinner to be served..
“Welcome everyone to this delicious dinner, sponsored by me, dad and especially my honey….you guys should get ready to taste a sweet delicacy this evening…after taking it, I guess you’ll want to come snatch her from me but don’t try it, she’s only for me” Robin said
Everyone laughed as Melanie Started serving the food for everyone
Philip watched from the living room as she served…
She’s….a source of happiness for everyone
*Delicious!*
*I love it!*
*This is sweet!*
*Yummy!*
*Chef you rock!*
*I haven’t tasted something sweet like this all my life*
*Whoa!*
The kids can’t stop commenting as they ate
“I told you” Robin replied
“I’ll take her from you” Michelle said
“Crush don’t try it” he replied
“Stop calling me crush” Michelle said
“I don’t know how to tell lies” Robin replied and winked
Michelle looked away with red cheeks
“I saw that!, She blushed!, I’m so handsome!” Robin said happily
” He’s too naughty” Philip said, laughing from the living room
Melanie is still smiling when Valerie called her
She picked and her ears almost bursted with her scream
“OMG!!!!!!!!!!!, Sis!!!!!!!!!, We won!!!!!!!!!”
“My ears” Melanie said
” I’m just overjoyous, sis turn on channel curious minds” Valerie said
” Congrats dear” Melanie said before hanging up
She went to sit beside Philip in the living room and turned on the TV
Yeah on the channel she mentioned, their video is live
How they were awarded as the best mathematics students allover the world
They were given medals and cash, cool cash…
And they became celebrities too
“Wow!, Mum will be so happy” she said
Philip rested his head on her shoulders
” She made everyone proud together with that grumpy guy” he said
**********
” What’s that?” Dwayne asked when Valerie brought out a drink during dinner
They’ve heard many congratulations from over thousands of people today after winning the competition
They both did well and their efforts yielded good results
Yeah, he feels good .. they both feel too good to win
They made Paris proud and Valerie has been shouting since then
“Alcohol, I got it secretly” Valerie replied, pouring it into a cup
” You like doing things you’ll regret right?” He asked
” I’m just so happy…whoa!!!!” Valerie screamed, drinking a lot of it
Dwayne covered his ears
She has been screaming like that since they won the competition..
“I might lose my ears at this rate” he said
Valerie kept drinking till she got tipsy and can’t control herself anymore
“I knew it” Dwayne said, standing up to leave but she pulled him back
“Cute Grumpy Bear” she said, smiling sillily and pouting
“Let go of my shirt” he said but she’s not ready to do that
“How do you manage to be rude, grumpy, cute and handsome all at once” she said, blinking drunkenly
He inhaled hard before guiding her up
He tried to take her in but she kept swinging her arm , she mistakenly poured away the remaining alcohol in the bottle and the bottle broke on the ground
“I’m going Crazy… come back to your senses!” He said loudly
“I’m in my right senses” she said drunkenly and smiled again
He tried moving again but he stepped on the alcohol on the ground
He slipped and fell on the broken bottle, hurting his palm seriously
He stood furiously and left for his room
Valerie slept off on the table..
**********
Next day**
Valerie roamed in front of his door, not knowing how to enter and apologize for last night
Yeah she remembers everything that happened, immediately she woke up, everything rushed to her memory…
And she feels a lot of guilt right now, to think that she made him hurt himself
She dipped her finger in her mouth, thinking of how to go in and beg but he came out that instant
“Dwayne..”
He looked at her for a while before sighing
Her eyes went to his palm, it’s bandaged, her guilt increased
He tried walking away but she held his arm
“Dwayne I’m so sorry…I wasn’t in my right senses and…..
“Let me go” he interrupted
“Dwayne please…
“Leave my hand” he said again
“I’m very sorry… please forgive me I…
He forcefully took his hand from her grip and that made her lose balance, she staggered and fell, hitting her head hard on the wall
It made a loud sound and Dwayne looked back
He rushed back and bent beside her
She’s facing down and her hair is covering her face
“Are you ok?” He asked
She slightly looked up at him and she already has tears in her eyes
She stood hurriedly and rushed into her room, shutting the door behind
“Val!, Val!” Dwayne called, hitting her door but no answer came
He roughed his hair frustratedly
“Fk me* he said…
