?Episode 16?
Penny’s POV:
I’ve got no clothes to wear, even if I take my bath right now. There will be no clothes for neither I nor Chris.
What do I do?
Maybe…..maybe I should just go and get some few clothes with the money I have left.
I slipped my legs inside my sandals and walk out of the room, Chris has grown very accustomed with Arley.
I just felt so bad.
He didn’t go to school while Arley did, he must be feeling down.
It is already very late, I used my phone light and slowly climbing down the stairs.
I need a cup of milk.
I opened the fridge and brought out a can of condensed milk.
“What are you doing here?” A voice asked and I froze.
Bryce.
The light was turned on and I felt him behind me.
I gulped and tightened my hold around the milk.
“I….I came to have this.” I said, trying my best not to look at him.
“Look at me.” He said and I turned around to look at me.
He brought up his hand and release my lip from my teeth.
“Stop biting your lips.” He whispered to me.
I shivered and took a step back.
What?
I nods my head and quickly opened the cabinet, I bought out a glass cup and shake in the milk then put some milk and warm water from the Despenser.
“Do you want?” I asked as I offered him one cup.
“Please.” He said and I handed over the cup to him.
I must say, Bryce is a very handsome man.
By far the most handsome I’ve ever seen.
He is pretty decent, took care of his daughter and polite.
He has the potential that most men don’t have.
I sip on my milk and secretly watch him type away on his laptop while sipping his milk.
“Someone will be here tomorrow morning to give your clothes including that of your son.” He said and my eyes widened.
“Really? Did you get my other stuffs as well? Properties?” I asked.
“I got your clothes Miss James, you should be grateful.” He said and I scoffed.
Now we’re back to formality.
“Okay.” I mumbled and rinse my cup from the Washing basin, I retrieve his and did the same thing.
“Good night.” I said and walk out of the kitchen.
Why is he working inside the kitchen instead of his room?
Maybe he misses his wife.
The thought of that caused my heart to tighten up.
Why? Why don’t I feel so…..not so good about that thought?
I went back to the guest room,Chris was still sleeping.
I removed my sandals and climbing on the bed then closed my eyes.
His face keeps showing when I closed my eyes.
The expression he had on when he released my lip from my teeth.
It was so intense.
Stop thinking too much Penelope, you have Alexander and he has Zendaya.
I turned to face Chris and kssed his forehead.
“Good night baby.” I said and closed my eyes.
********
“Good morning Penny,you got a delivery.” Martha said and opened the door.
“What time is it?” I asked her and yawned.
“7:30.” She replied and I sprung up from the bed.
I pat Chris on the back.
“Wake up baby, it Is time for school.” I said and he opened his eyes.
“Good morning mommy.” He greets.
“Morning baby, stand up. Your clothes are here.” I told him.
I grab the first box from Martha and took it to the closet.
“Please bring the second one.” I shouted for her to.hear.
I’ll be staying here for now, at least.I can take it as my home until I find a place to stay.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
I grab my bag and Chris hand then walk out of the room.
“I’m off to work.” I told Martha.
“Here, this is Chris portion of food.” She said and handover a lunch box.
“Thank you Martha.” I said and smiled.
“Bye aunt Martha.” Chris said before we walk out.
We board a bus and soon we were at Chris school.
“Study hard baby, I love you.”
“Love you too mommy.” He replied and walked inside the school.
I am grateful to God for my son,he is the best anybody could ask for.
Intelligent, smart, truthful, handsome.
Everything about him gives me joy, he is the honey that sweetened my sorrowful heart.
I opened the front door of the cafe and walk in.
“Miss James is finally here.” Maggie said sarcastically. I huffed and peek Ana.
“Good morning.”
“Morning Penny, Maggie told me what happened.” He said and I hummed.
“So how is life with Mr King?” Maggie asked.
“Nosy now aint you?it is still early Maggie.” I shoeed her off and tie my apron around myself.
I’m back to work.
