CHAPTER 35

“Thanks for letting me stay” she said
“Don’t say thanks again, I should be the one thanking you for staying Val” he said and tightened the hug
She smiled, taking in her lips and $ucking on them
He later stood and she did the same
“Have you eaten?” She asked
“Nope” he replied…
“Cos of what happened?,”.
“Sure, didn’t you see the way the ba$tard who calls himself my dad was trying to be me? ” He said
” Yeah, and I’m sorry about that” she replied
*Stop saying sorry at everything” he said
“I just can’t help it” she replied
“Retarded” he said
“I’ve come to love that name” she replied
“Grumpy Bear… It sounds like the best name I’ve ever heard too” he replied..
” So show me your kitchen, I’ll cook something” she said
” Really?, You can cook? ” He asked
” Of course, but only noodles” she winked
He smiled and held her hand, leading her to the kitchen
“How spacious” she said when they got there
“I know, so miss noodles, cook something before I starve till death” he said, letting her go
She got four packs of noodles from the top cupboard and then placed water on the cooker, she waited for it to boil before pouring in the noodles
Dwayne watched from behind althrough and just kept smiling while sucking on his swollen lips
She finished the cooking in about ten minutes and dished the hot noodles
She took it to the dinning and they both sat
“You aren’t gonna eat with me?” He asked
“No I’m full” she replied
” If you aren’t eating with me, then I’m not eating” he replied
” Dwayne…
“I can’t eat alone when you’re here” he said
She smiled and picked a fork
” Ok fine, let’s eat” she said
He smiled and picked a fork too and they ate together till they finished everything before dropping the forks
“It was delicious” he said
“Stop trying to make me feel better, that wasn’t close to delicious” she replied
” Trust me I’m serious…. You really know how to cook noodles” he replied and they both laughed
He suddenly held her hand and took her upstairs to show her to the various rooms in there
Apart from his room, there are three other rooms and the study
“Why do you need a study room when you don’t read?” She asked
“I dunno, not like I know I won’t be a fan of reading anyways” he replied
She smiled as they entered his room, still holding hands
” You’re handsome” she said, staring at his pictures on the wall
” Those are the pictures I took when my mum was still alive, I was one happy guy back then, I never knew I’ll find happiness again till I met you… Val you’re the most important person in my life right now and….. I…
“You what?” She asked impatiently
“I don’t want you to leave me” he replied, changing what he really wants to say
She smiled and held his hand tight
“Sure, friends don’t leave each other” she replied
?????
“Thanks for the visit anyways” Sally said on phone, actually speaking with Leo
“Thanks for eating lunch with me, with you it was delicious” he replied
She smiled and went silent
” Why aren’t you talking?” Leo asked
“I dunno what to say” she replied
” Oh…. alright, I’ll come see you tomorrow too” he replied
“Tomorrow is Saturday, I’m not going to work, and my boss will be coming back too” she replied
” Then I’ll come and meet you at your house” he replied
” no, not yet” she replied
” Then till when?” He asked
” Till when I say you can come” she replied
“Ok… we’ll see then”
” Bye!”
” Bye”
She hung up and smiled deeply, staring at his contact on her phone
“I know what you’re up to” she said
Next morning**
Valerie woke up in Dwayne’s arms and can’t help but smile and feel much happiness
Yeah, it’s really a dream come true
She remembered the countless ksses last night and started blushing, for the fact that Dwayne actually kssed her for more than four long times
She took in her lip fondly
“But we’re now on holiday, how will I see him everyday again?” She thought
” I can always come here” she thought again
She shifted her gaze to his face and smiled
He’s perfect..to her he’s more than perfect
The guy he has been crushing on for months, and now they kssed countlessly and slept on same b.ed in each other’s arms….
It’s too surprising but she loves this kind of surprises…
He suddenly opened his eyes and she quickly closed her eyes, pretending to still be asleep
He kssed her lips lightly and smiled
“I know you’re not sleeping, so open your eyes sleeping beauty” he said
She opened her eyes slowly
” Silly you” he said
“how was your night?” She asked
“Twas the best I’ve ever had, with a pretty retarded friend beside me” he replied…
She smiled at that and closed her eyes then he planted a kss on her cheeks
They got up from the bed and entered the bathroom together where she brushed with him before going downstairs
“I think I should be leaving now” she said
” Already?’ he said sadly
“Yeah, mum will be waiting already” she replied
” You told her you’re coming here?” He asked
” Yeah, I’ll never lie to her, I told her I’m coming here but I never knew I’ll sleep over” she replied
” Honestly I feel sad that you’re leaving… we’re on vacation so no way to see everyday again, but don’t worry, there’ll always be a way” he said and hugged her
He went upstairs to bring her bag and shoes
He later drove her home and waved before leaving
“You slept in a guy’s house?” Susan said Immediately she stepped in…
” Mum…
“Valerie you’re still young!” Susan said sternly
“I’m sorry mum I was just, not thinking straight, he was hurting and I just had to stay with him and comfort him” she replied slowly
” So you’ve turned to a soother, Valerie I’m not against puppy love but sleeping over at a guy’s house, isn’t it still early?” She said
” Mum Dwayne is not just a random guy, and we did nothing illegal, mum try to understand”
” I’m really trying my best to understand but…
“Mum..’ she pouted, going to her
She hugged Susan tightly
” I’m sorry about that, I won’t do it again” she said
” Ok…..so how was your night?” Susan asked
” Twas the best mum” she replied
*It’s allover your face, you need to see your face, it’s sparkling with excess happiness” Susan said
Valerie looked up at her face and smiled but it quickly dissappeared
“Your eyeballs, they changed colour, are you ok mum?” She said
Susan quickly brightened up than before
“Yes daughter, I’m perfectly ok, it’s because I just woke up, and you know old age is settling in” she replied
” Oh mum…. you’re still young” she replied
” Young at fifty?, Come off it!” She replied
” But you’re pretty mummy” she said
” I know, isn’t that where you and Melanie got it from?” She said
“sure mum” she replied and hugged her again…
*************
“Mummy!!!” Robin screamed loudly, running to hug Melanie as she came in with Philip
He actually went back to their house with grandma and Leo with Sally
Melanie carried him and hugged him tightly, she really missed him a lot!
“I missed you a lot baby” she said
“Same here mum, I’m so happy you’re back, I’m tired of eating buttermilk waffles everyday” he said
Melanie smiled and slightly punched his cheeks
“Now mum is back with her delicious delicacies” she replied
“Yes, love you mum” he replied, getting down from her arms
Philip carried him next
” My boy” he beamed
“Kinky daddy” he said
“Cute son” he replied and kssed his chin
“I missed you like crazy” he said
“Missed you more boy, but now we’re back” Philip replied
Then they got time to hug grandma and chat with Leo and Sally too
“Welcome back cuties, I’m expecting twins as my first grandchild” Carolyn said
” Yeah, two babies” Leo said
“Not bad” Melanie replied
“Welcome back boss” Sally said
” How has the office been faring?, I trust you did a good job during my absence” Philip said
” Absolutely sir” she replied
“Like grandma said, we want twins Melanie, we won’t even mind quadruplets” Sally said
Melanie Started laughing
” Sure, miss killer” she replied
Sally laughed and hugged her
Susan and Valerie later joined them, they had fun throughout that day till night when everyone went back to their houses, leaving the couple and their son in their home
Robin sat on the couch in the living room, watching TV but his mind is barely there, he’s busy thinking about the book
So much that when Melanie sat beside him, he never knew till she touched his arm, he spranged up
“Mum!’
” Robin are you ok?, You’ve never been like this, what’s bothering you darling?” She asked
” Mum..
“Yes dear*
” Mystery Of The Dark Room, volume 2″ he said slowly
Her eyes widened
” You…you read it?”
He nodded
” Robin….
“What happened in the end of that book won’t happen to you and Dad right?, You and Dad won’t die gruesomely like that in the hands of Stella right?” He asked at the point of tears
” Robin stop the tears, nothing is gonna happen to us please” she replied, wiping his tears but new round fell
” Mum I’m scared, I don’t want to lose you and I don’t want to lose dad” he said fearfully, crying and hiccuping as he spoke.
Melanie wiped the tears again
“Baby our destiny is different from theirs, the beginning of the story might be similar to ours but our end won’t be like that, destiny has different things in store for everyone so don’t be scared” she said and hugged him….
” What’s happening?” Philip asked, coming downstairs
” Love, he’s finding it difficult to sleep, I’ll take him upstairs to his room and watch him sleep” Melanie replied and without letting Philip see Robin’s face, she went upstairs with him in her arms
Philip looked on confusedly
“Why do I feel uneasy like something big is coming?, What could it be?” He asked himself…
